It was retreat in Javorie, Slovakia May 2018 by Bhante Gavesi http://gavesi.blogspot.com/ Yes, some people sit/sat on chair, ego is bitch that is why I sat cross-legged. I realized that I should have used this back pain as noting object and investigate deeper. And out of practice exercise more to sort out this back issue.

This book is on my list: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/651942.Saints_and_Psychopaths and it may answer your question.

@Ferdi Le If you want to sit cross legged Namaskar won't help you, you need to open your hips that the pressure on your knees is diminished. There are many practices but to open hips (for westerner) will take you at least 1year +/-, ask your yoga teacher. Also, try to sit on the floor (cross-legged) while eating, while watching TV, etc.

- What does "To grow out of the conviction, that 1=2" mean? Are there 2 forces or are both aspects of the one? Both are numbers. Maharshi (maybe)said something like there is no duality without unity - Is it possible for me to make the wrong decision? Yes and No but basically no.

some of the truffles have description: http://www.magic-mushrooms-shop.com/en/magic-truffles-sclerotia.html I tied some but not much happening , I had to use inhibitor but then I saw change or reality a some fractal stuff. (Truffles are really disgusting ...)

I realized that pain (having lots of pain in prolonged meditation) is a great tool for meditation as an object of meditation, just note pain(s) and watch its impermanence. Also, as Leo mentioned use it as a tool for strong determination practice. It also goes in line with D. Ingram's book - Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha, which has at least 4 stars for me.

Thanks. No, it is not, I was lazy bastard. More info: https://erowid.org/library/books_online/tihkal/tihkal43.shtml Sounds like it is for macho man :).

In 2 weeks I go for 5-MeO trip one day and ayahuasca the following one ... Any advice what would be the best prep for it? Also, I've observed that people sell something like 5-MeO-pyr-T and 5-MeO-MiPT. Anybody tried? What are these substances about?

well, what is correct and what is wrong, I try to sit in a relaxed way, I try to use effortless effort approach, whatever it means. Actually, I'm reasonably flexible yogi but padmasana gives me still too much pressure on my knees so I use burmese style.

Yes, it is walking sitting, walking sitting, etc. always 1h but after 5-6 days (when one should get the most benefit) I can hold sitting position in the afternoon for few mins, also it is not really nice during dhama talk to change position every 2-3minutes because I'm not able to sit. Ok, lying on my back helps but it usually makes me loose concentration. Maybe I try solo retreat at certain point this may relieve some mental burden of it but one needs discipline anyway and retreat helped me to build discipline. I just want to know what people tried and what worked for them, maybe I did not try something .

I have many 3-4-5star (audio)books and I can say that even if I had all in audio I would not be able to read 31 books in 31days. I cannot imagine reading Rudolf Spira in 1 day, also audio book was so sloooow, it took me maybe 1 week for few hours a day. If you can get golden nuggets then you read review but can you believe review and can you have the same experience ? I doubt that.

Cold in winter and depending on area too many tourists in summer but I plan to travel there this weekend. Somewhere here +/- 15km https://goo.gl/maps/iWWQUYuhwoy (your message triggered my reply before haha)

I studied what would be the best place to live and potentially die bla bla. My requirements were that I wanted it to be close to Europe, language that I can potentially learn , good weather during the year (20-25 or so), great nature, reasonable health-care (not that yogies need it). I end up thinking that the place where I would like to live is/are Canary Islands so I went there in January, specifically, to Gran Canaria island and I traveled around etc. To be honest, I already had plans for schools, potential jobs, potential properties, and other relevant stuff. However, it was all a lie, I had the worst time I could have there because it was really cold (7-18), windy, rainy, not friendly people etc, ok, it was not all that bad. It completely crashed my vision but I realized when I returned home (Slovakia) that I do not have to move anywhere and I'm fine whenever I go or move. All is matter of perspective !

Leo, fuck channel, fuck money, also you do not need to create any more videos anymore, you should not need any of this where you are going, surrender means surrender, just give up and be! You will be just fine whatever happens.

I was contemplating about evolution theory and somehow I got to a problem of body vs. mind dilemma. I came to conclusion that body trough evolution created structure in our brains that served purpose of self-preservation created sense of consciousness. I.e. body was before mind In Leo's Goedels video I got impression that he and positivists assumed mind before body. Did I miss something?
