I get the feeling Leo is a little worried about stepping out of his comfort zone. Too bad, since that's where true growth happens. Also could've made for an interesting video. Oh well...

Leo claims that I am God and that I'm creating everything around me. Does that mean that the people who were captured by ISIS and burned alive in cages also were God and also were creating everything around them? It's one thing to sit in an apartment in Las Vegas with an unlimited supply of psychedelics and claim that you're God, but as soon as you look a little further, say towards Syria for example, this whole philosophy just seems foolish and arrogant. I would respect Leo more if he said that when you take 5-MeO-DMT it feels like you're God.

I was very surprised seeing how Leo didn't add any caveats in the video "How Psychedelics Work - Making Sense Of Psychedelics". He basically encourages all his viewers to take psychedelics in large amounts without thinking twice about how some people aren't mentally equipped to handle it, and may suffer severe mental damage. Don't get me wrong, I'm not demonizing psychedelics in any way, but it surely can be harmful if you're, for example, predisposed to mental illness. Also, I haven't really heard Leo talk about the advantages it gives him in his everyday life once he's off the medicine. Sure, you realize that you're God and so on. That's great! Then what? Is he more at peace with himself having that knowledge? Does he feel happier? In short, what is the long term benefit?

What's the latest on this?

I think one's personal development becomes somewhat limited if you spend all your time alone and rarely socialize with other people in real life. By going from lone wolf to start connecting with others is part of how you move from stage yellow to turquoise. You should get out there more, Leo!

How so?

In the book "The Power of Now" Eckart Tolle says that "The secret of life is to die before you die -- and find that there is no death." Can someone explain exactly what he means by this?

Well, we're all at different stages of our journey.

@Nahm Aren't we all? :-)

I don't know about you guys, but this man really inspires me. (I posted this earlier in this thread, but hid it since the link died and my post wasn't editable.)

Even if we do live in a simulation, and even if our simulation is running within yet another simulation, and so on, at the end of the line there must be something not simulated. The very definition of "simulation" is imitation of a situation or process, therefor there must be a real process at the root of it all that the simulation is imitating. If not, then the whole simulation theory breaks down and we have to define it differently.
