Hi @Leo Gura, I understand you must be getting bombarded with ideas regarding your chronic fatigue. More out of curiosity than advice, have you tried micro-dosing to potentially help with this? I only think it may work as lsd lasts all day, and I can never sleep when on it. Plus there are many other psychs to try, and nootropics too. Also it seems to give my gut a boost in inteligence. If that somehow makes sense. Maybe the gut neurons could use the help to figure out for themselves what to change. Also just a last interesting idea. I could imagine that your newly found profound states of consciousness is making you much more sensitive to the karma of eating another being. Maybe we are habituated to being callous over the topic, but lately you removed that barrier, making you fully feel the karma. Just an interesting idea (which has no consequence for a solution, but still interesting to think about). Also actually lastly, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry to hear about your issue. I found it so surprising because you release such detailed content, I marvelled at your motivation and focus. I guess it's like having a bad tooth ache - we totally forgot how bad it is until we get one once again, so it's hard to fully sympathise. I hope you find a solution

I like it - it reminds me of the The Diamond Net, which is a YouTube channel from a creator that used to be / is here from the beginning.

Hello everyone! Long time no see I created a nonprofit organisation and website that raises money for planting trees and reforestation. It's a novel idea because it allows you to raise money for free, kind of like Ecosia - but instead you visit our website as a "jumpbox" to online stores and then raise money via commission, or you can use the Chrome extension to automate the process. I like the idea, but any feedback would be appreciated. You guys seem like the right kind of people to ask, so here is the link: https://www.idonatebyshopping.org/

For me it was the one below. It was the first time I had ever heard about enlightenment, and it truly sent me down a very long and spectacular journey!

Thank you for all the replies, I really enjoyed your responses

Hey RendHeaven, Thank you for your reply, you make some good points. Reaching out to content creators is actually a good idea - I could look for people with 0 to 100 subscribers and hopefully find someone interesting. Just to clarify, I should maybe have said this more clearly, I'm not looking for like a 'famous' expert - I just meant someone who has spent a lot of their time on a topic. Some hypothetical examples, someone who nearly went pro in sport, any professional really in an interesting field, someone who has been doing a particular hobby for some years, etc. But I do appreciate your advice, that is something I will definitely look at.

Hi everyone, I've just started writing for a blog website I've created - I'm just getting started, and I'm just interested in being creative and connecting with the world at large for the moment. I've been creating a variety of content, but I was thinking it would be fun to create an interview style post or two - depending on how many people are interested. I was wondering if anyone on here is an expert of some kind, and maybe even engaged in some kind of start up in that field - if you would be interested in a written interview? I obviously don't have a huge following or anything, but a few hundred people should read it hopefully, and I'd of course like to link to any of your online work. It won't be a huge breakthrough for your endeavour, but it never hurts to have some legitimate backlinks to your content. If you are interested, let me know what field you are an expert in, and maybe link to some of your content if applicable? I'll PM you some questions soon, and then we can reply to each other until we feel we have enough material for a post. If for any reason you don't like the result, I will of course remove the interview Anything to do with spirituality and self help would be perfect, but I'm open to any topic really, as long as it's interesting for the lay person. I'm also happy for anonymous interviews if you would prefer. I hope to hear back from someone and hopefully create some sweet, sweet content together! I'm going to bed soon here in Australia, so I may not reply until tomorrow. The website btw is in the link of my signature if anyone is interested before doing the interview. (If Leo reads this, that would be an awesome interview! But I'm sure he's pretty busy too )

I have recently been feeling the desire to be able to laugh, really deeply and naturally, at will. Or at least access that vibration of laughter. I do laugh when I find something genuinely funny of course, but it would be great to be able to just burst out laughing for instance when someone cuts you off in traffic amd you're tempted to get angry. Just laugh it away Or in social situations, I very often can 'see' the funny, but my body just isn't feeling it. I don't drink booze at all anymore, so having this ability to access my quirky, uncaring, laughing-at-nonsense self would open up a lot of internal opportunities For instance -love- I can close my eyes and feel for it, and prettt much access it to some degree whenever I want. For instance, when someone is rude towards me, my first instinct is bitterness towards them, but I can still activate the love towards them. Laughter, not at all though. It seems to arise 100% spontaneously at its own will. I know some people who are just always laughing! Any of you here? Or anyone, have you guys and girls had some insights into the nature of laughter, and how to access it? Happy last day of 2018 everyone!

Haha I haven't done strong determination sittings in a while. Zen monks are quite famous for accessing really loud loud seemingly uncontrollable laughter actually Your answer made my laugh internally btw, good job!

Mine has been overcoming challenge after challenge after challenge after challenge after challenge.... no sign of slowing down

A lot of different, interesting years for you guys and gals - thanks for the insights into your lives

@electroBeam Hey mate, (fellow Aussie?) Thank you for you ideas, I will keep them in mind for the future. The only thing I would comment is that although the ideas sound quite simple - they would be really hard to implement for me at this stage. Maybe if/when I have some greater resources I'll have a serious look at how to accomplish some of these ideas Sorry for the super late reply btw - I was on a long 3-week work trip and then reskinned the whole website - again!

Hi everyone, I have just reached about 95% completion of my new fund-raising website I've been working really hard on - the money will go towards preventing malaria and deworming treatments. If anyone has the time for a quick 1 minute feedback, it would really help me out. This is my first public request for feedback, so I'm keen on any thoughts you have In particular though, what are your first impressions? Can you easily tell the idea of the website in the first few seconds? How can I make it clearer? Would you hypothetically be eager to use the website, or would you have any objections (objections are really useful to me)? If you have any display/visual glitches especially, could you let me know on what device/browser I don't want to explain what the website is about, because well, the idea is that it's self-obvious as soon as landing on the home page. Here is the link: http://www.idonatebyshopping.com/ Thank you in advance for help. I am nervous about releasing this into the public though- I see so much potential here, but after my first few attempts at website creation weren't very successful, I am apprehensive

Ok, so the updates I've been doing have taken a really long time, but I've finally reached a steady-state yet again I'm still waiting for official registration as a charity here in Australia, but I'm thinking the website is 95% finished again (thinking that before seems so silly from here, let's see if that happens again!) @ajasatya I took up a lot of your suggestions. The footer is included and I created an About page with some photos - I also added an FAQ page which is hopefully nice. If anyone is interested in giving feedback v2 that would once again be very appreciated, and I'm sure to deeply take input into account - and I would like to make any improvement I can. Creative ideas and your first impressions are always the bomb

@ajasatya Thanks for the advice. Yea, I also think transparency is a great idea. Not only to convince people of the organisation's legitimacy, but also to prevent shady stuff happening in the long term future if I'm not around. Those are good examples. I was planning on doing something similar, but haven't put much time into it yet since I haven't raised $10 yet But those are great examples I will use as a template, they get it pretty much bang on. Simple and fast to read but informative enough to be purposeful.

@ajasatya Good point. My major idea with those buttons are to reinforce to the user that the idea is to copy links (and save it to their bookmark hopefully), hence I would like some "Click here to copy link" text. Nevertheless, you are definitely right that they were probably the weakest point on the page (and maybe those 2D graphics which still need attention). I have changed the buttons completely now, thanks to your input - let me know what you think of the new ones if you have the time and are keen. Try to click on the button for a small surprise PS. Good point about not having Amazon on the site Black Flag - unfortunately the company specifically prohibits and rewarding to shoppers by clicking on your links, including offering to donate on their behalf

@ajasatya Thank you for the heads up, the the buttons were broken during a coding upgrade - it's fixed now. @Black Flag Thank you for all your points. The dropdown is now smaller as a few people thought it was too big as well. The swiping and icons description have been removed altogether, it's entirely different now and more concise and modern (hopefully). I did think of a "How does this work" page - but I've pretty much settled on the idea that if I can't convey my idea 100% on the home page, then I need to make my home page better. 99% of people won't bother digging into how it works, it should just be obvious. @Rachityczny Thank you for your points, especially the 'disturbing' links boxes changing on hover - I didn't pick that up, but it's fixed now. I have made the scrollbars for the charities 20% slower as you and few people though it was too fast, hopefully it's better now (btw though, it does stop swiping when you hover over it). @SerpaeTetra Thank you for your idea. I'll keep it mind - .org is more 'ugly' though, if that makes sense, it doesn't ring very well. Maybe its just me. Cheers for your feeling though, I'll ask my friends what they reckon too, it's definitely an option. Thank you to everyone on this thread Your help is genuinely much appreciated and very helpful. I feel the website is much, much better now after addressing your feedback. It gave me some great inspiration for other improvements as well.

@Toby I can tell you're not very impressed right off the bat, rightfully so! I should have done a proper cross-browser check. If you have the patience, check back 48 hours, I hope to have all the issues listed here fixed by then. @Elisabeth Thank you for the feedback, I'll take your input into close consideration. I'm struggling to think of another way apart from sliding text to explain the website right in the header - a list of text isn't very captivating. Maybe a graphic (I'm just thinking on the go here). I've scrambled to fix a few of these errors, especially the ones on Firefox with the heading. Unfortunately now the header is completely screwed in the Where Does The Money Go section - and I couldn't find the issue yet. Something very strange is happening there. I'll look at it again tomorrow, it's already past my bedtime and I still have my yoga routine to do. (The solution came to me in my yoga routine - I love how the brain works, a solution just drops down from nowhere, creativity is so inexplicable! )

@Rookie Thank you for your very useful feedback Yes, you're right. I didn't spot this error for some reason, but I need to align things correctly and also correct some widths. The screenshot was very useful. Dynamic heading menus are quite hard to get to position and resize smoothly for different window sizes; I wrongly assumed Firefox would render the same as to Chrome, I'll need to put my detective hat on as to why not, and hopefully it's an easy fix. Also, the long list of stores in the drop down menu will get even more clunky when more online stores are added, so I may need to rethink the whole UI for that (I'm thinking of a drop-down search bar in the header if I can brave the coding challenge). All your points are very useful, so thank you again - and it's good to hear a few positives as well, it makes me feel like I'm on the right track at least as I'm aiming for a very modern/fast/easy-to-use design.

Not a single Solid Orange or Solid Green yet - very surprising.

Makes sense, I wish you the best of luck and look forward to hearing how the rest of your retreat went

So from your videos, obviously you know about yoga and such topics as kundalini and the chakras. From your blog videos (although you still have 20 days to reveal) it really seems to me like you are taking a brute force method to purifying your body/mind/energy. ie. You are basically sitting with an empty mind and letting boredom and suffering kill you slowly. But then there is a school of yoga called kundalini kriya yoga, as taught by aypsite.com, Rohit Arya or Yogiraj Satgurunath. These practices literally let white light descend from your crown, and send a purifying wash up through your body. Quite literally you feel muscles twitching and relaxing all the pain you have been carrying around your whole life. Very much like Shinzen Young describes as pain bubbling away, and you feel that taste of purification. Very tangibly and literally. I was just wondering if you have had experiences of this washing energy cleansing your body? And if so, why aren't you diving more headlong into yoga? Or maybe you just aren't mentioning it, as after all, Matthew 7:6 does hold truth. If you are feeling like you are suffering through a brute force process (and I have no idea really) and getting very slow gains - I would just throw my 2 cents in and recommend kundalini kriya yoga. Someone like you who really has the courage to take it to its logical extremes can go lightyears with the basics of sidhasana, shambhavi, moolabandha and kechari mudra in a very short amount of time. I can personally attest that I can now enter a state of samadhi at will within 10 minutes 80% of the time thanks to these processes and thanks to the guru and kundalini. And I am no one special, anyone can make use of these divine tools. I do want to add like it doesn't always feel like purification is happening, especially in the beginning as things are clunky and you are feeling yourself out. But I had my first real AHA moment when performing kechari whilest on acid. I would recommend that to you Leo if at all interested. There is a really deep process of cleansing and purification happening that becomes apparent. I heard you say in the video that many teachers don't go this deep. I can't really comment because I'm just a humble and mostly inadept yogi myself - but it really seems to me like India has by far the deepest answers you are also talking about. In my opinion, the Nath Panthi and Arya Sangha lineages are right up your street with values of creativity and integrating spirituality into social life (ie. not renunciates). Anyway, chances are you are much more in the know than me, I thought I would just ramble this here because I am confused why you are using apparently brute force methods when there are such graceful and effective paths designed by much higher consciousnesses to bring us also to higher consciousness. The Lightning path as it were. Kundalini Kriya yoga. PS. I know you have a goal to prove the effectiveness of 5 MEO - but also wouldn't it be beautiful if you came full circle and proved that the sages and seers of the Himalayas knew a thing to two as well, and you concurred that their methods are super effective. To use Sadhguru's metaphor, maybe psyches are great tools to jump really high on a trampoline and see over the prison wall - but what you and I really need is a method of building a ladder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umgJWfBXY_A

PS. How many days does he have left now?

I see Leo's account was online 22 hours ago, I wonder if he's back slightly early
