It depends on where you are at in life. She may be helpful depending on your circumstances. Like if your a young spiral dynamics stage purple/blue person that gets walked all over in relationships or come from a dysfunctional family and are seeking an understanding to your situations she can be helpful. It's relative depending on your stage of development and where you are in life, she may provide some insights and clarity. I listened to her when I was in highschool and some of the things she said resonated and others didn't. Wasn't my fit but I kept an open mind and already understood at that point that every teacher has its own taste and people resonate with different teachers depending on what you want. Also people get sucked into idealizing a certain teacher so you have to be careful not to just consume her content blindly, any teacher in fact. Just be careful not to judge prematurely based on personal bias, listen with open ears but also be honest with yourself if she a good teacher for you, maybe not. I was at one point attracted to emeralds teachings for understanding my shadow and I love how she has a great angle from Carl Jung's collective and individual unconscious and how we project it rather than facing it, owning it and transmuting it. Teal has some good stuff too but her charisma can lure you into an idealogy and cult like dynamic. Sometimes I watch emerald because she is well versed and really dialed in on that niche on YouTube, it's helpful. Teal has some gems to. Just be careful

Hey 👋🏽 have you tried magnesium glycinate chelate capsules 400 mg? Give it go before bedtime, it's what I use and this version out of all the other magnesium supplements is the best because it isn't so laxative on the stomach, promotes restful rem sleep, muscle recovery and I feel amazing in the morning. Check your local whole foods market. You got this. Sending you love

@Leo Gura You are your own boss Leo. Really cool to live a sovereign self dependent life financially, and existentially. Self leadership at its finest. Financial stability comes with psychological stability, to be able to take full responsibility and ownership of your entire life, and to survive consciously

Basically real teachers are (DD's) Dream Disturbers. Haha. The idea is that you are asleep, people are asleep and only a few people subscribe to Truth services which disrupt the dream you are in, the nightmare you take as reality. People want renovations or someone to make the dream a little bit more nicely. But no! A real teacher wakes your ass up from the dream entirely. Most people get defensive and say "go away! Let me sleep. Only reason you are attracted to this work is because you subscribed to truth to come to your door and create a racket to disturb your dream. You have to do the work also to subscribe to Truth. Beautiful teachings by him, cuts straight through ego defenses.

@Inliytened1 Nice. I am not this body while also pretending to be this body. You have to be careful not to fall into deceptions, spiritual bypassing, and dysfunction of survival. It can be destabilizing depending on the kind of psyche you have. People chase powers, experiences and siddhis but they never stop to notice who is the one that is experiencing. I have had ego deaths, the ego comes back online but only now I understand that I am dreaming reality in the same way I beat my heart. I love to push boundaries and to explore different states to go deeper and to challenge my self. For the purpose of self liberation

This is a beautiful question and it is possible to awaken from this dream. Not just our sleeping dream, but the waking dream. What is your current experience of this inquiry? Have you fully awakened from the dream of survival and life?

@Inliytened1 Your simultaneously in two states at once. Deep rem and conscious awareness. It's interesting because sleep paralysis can easily be co-opted by the ego as " I am experiencing paralysis" but sleep paralysis can be used as a launch pad for spiritual inquiry into the nature of ego, identity and self realization as pure unformed consciousness. It's easy to get sucked into content no matter what it is, lucid dreaming ect... But the main event is to pay attention to awareness itself, to wonder what is this awareness that is conscious of this? While everything is happening, what remains aware? Realize that it's all dreams. To awaken not just from the dream, but to be aware of the dream like nature of reality, the only real thing is consciousness itself without the contents of awareness

@Inliytened1 There are techniques to use while it's happening, just in case it feels overwhelming just mentally imagine pulling yourself up a rope and you will exit smoothly. You have to do it mentally because your body is dead weight and it's counter productive to fight it physically

Yes! My experiences are as follows • body is dead asleep, the body cannot move, cannot respond, consciousness is fully awake but unbounded by the body. • I experience paranormal phenomenon, seeing entities, projections of fear of the unknown, seeing behind my head, feeling a presence of an other. I describe it as the underworld of your psyche where all the creepy crawlers dwell. •fear of death and a clinging to certainty. Great resistance. •there is a book by osho on Leo's booklist with some meditative practices and there is a specific technique used by Ramana maharshi which resulted in him experiencing ego death as a young boy, he had a paralysis but he decided to just let the body die, remain alert and just look without panicking. He noticed the body became stiff and it resulted in his enlightenment. Powerful shit if you can remain conscious throughout a paralysis,

Tying in Leo's recent episode on exploring the nature of conformity, and looking at conformity through my own direct experience I realize that most of how people treat and experience Thanksgiving is pure conformity! Thanksgiving in of itself has a core to it that we can say is the essence of why Thanksgiving was created, the kernel of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is relative to any given culture, many subcultures celebrate it differently, different foods, different ways of celebrating it, but outside the tradition and norms within a family household, the point of Thanksgiving is to experience Love. Not just absolute Love, the Love of God, but to share ones personal love with another, albeit an ethnocentric form or maybe even a stage green form of love that extends beyond familiar people onto strangers or giving back to those not well off, sharing and giving are the main themes. Thanks-Giving! People take!!! It's for Absolute Love to bust through the ego and petty human survival at least once a year someone out of the billions on this planet, might let actual Truth and Love to shine through. It's not about the food, it's about Being Love. Being grateful of existence and sharing that love with another even if they can't see that, this is Thanksgiving. At least for me lol. Being in love, seeing through the social conformity machine and still washing dishes, serving food, sharing moments and giving to those that are moving in the machine is my state of consciousness at the moment. No superiority, no moral judgment, no guilt for not eating to make others feel comfortable, no looking down on those that are operating from conformity. Free from the craving and bad food heaviness after endulging. No craving for the foods I once splurged on. No Internal resistance. Sitting at the table with family is what is meaningful while paradoxically seeing it has no meaning is a beautiful thing, like an impossible shape. Knowing their are those that don't have a family, food. I give and extend my love to them and even further to the animals and further into all beings in the universe and finally further to God as my self. Self love.

Conformity really starts when we are children because that equals our survival and is necessary. But at a certain point in our own development and maturity you have to integrate and transcend conformity to sovereignty. The educational system is a conformity machine and we are taught to conform! Don't think for yourself, other authority figures are right and your own thinking is wrong, memorize test etc we're not taught to question everything, to trust our own experience, not just to study and admire great thinkers and figures of history but to self-actualize our own potential as unique sovereign individuals A very great quote by Terence McKenna "my goal is not to connect with the inner child, but to transcend culturally induced forms of neoteny".

Have him watch some of Leo's older episodes on the implications of spiral Dynamics and his episode stage orange of spiral dynamics

Holy fuck Leo, I've spent 3 hours rewinding and rewatching the first hour of the episode. Because a lot of this stuff slips in one ear and out the other and I'm very careful to not overlook every sentence you're saying. I'm not taking it on as dogma and just parroting you, I'm really listening. There's just so much and I appreciate you breaking down David Chapman's website and clarifying those four key distinctions

The intro quote; my first name is also Robert, cool. Also David's website is " in the cells of an eggplant"?
