Conflicted about releasing it, honestly.

Joe Rogan uploads 3h30 vids all the time so why not? We wanna see it

I feel like time stopped and my whole life is on hold. It's still Sunday and I'm waiting...

[martins name]

The decision always goes back to you, but if you ever consider not uploading it to Youtube we'd love to see it in the blog

At least say what the topic is. I'm curious to know 

[Pallero]

I really hope it’s about shadow work, but knowing Leo he’s gonna release a 15 minute video on shadow work, and this long one is going to be about some never-heard nanomicrophysicist’s never-heard particle consciousness theory.

Sending love to our Leo.

Please be a rant for the spiritual Cult Leaders of Youtube (Bentinho Massaro, Teal Swan etc) . I want a good old fashioned rant about that.

This topic is simply filled with golden humor, haha. Made my day. 

On an extremely serious note, though, I'm running out of water and food... One does not simply leave the house while waiting on the video to be uploaded. I have not slept since sunday either... I'm starting to hallucinate... IS THIS ENLIGHTENMENT!!? 

[Laymen]

@Leo Gura Are you becoming less and less generous about giving videos for free ? LOL

[DocHoliday]

@Laymen well, that was just rude... he’s trying his hardest to make them as good as they can be

It was just my speculation. Because he said: Conflicted about releasing it, honestly

[martins name]

@Laymen that's because he is concerned with the quality of the video

@Leo Gura 

There's a guy who has made a 4 part video talking about your spiritual experiences defining them as solipsism. Id like to know your opinion.

The point is the message, not the messenger. I really resonate with the methods of Teal, if @Shin were here now, he would say the same thing about Massaro. Sure, Massaro may be a psychopath and may have sexually abused his followers and Teal may be a narcissist, have radical views on suicide, and maybe she lies about being ritually abused but that shit doesn't matter if the stuff they teach helps you grow.

If you haven't seen Teal's response to these claims, here it is:

Just my two cents on this, 1.5 hours for a video is plenty long.  Any longer than that and it becomes too much of  commitment to watch the video.  I would shoot for 1 hour videos -- no more no less.  Few people are gonna watch a 4 hour video.  That's too much of a time commitment to ask of people.  Just break that sh*t down into 1 hour topics.  I know from watching a lot of Leo's videos that 1.5 hours is about right for the more advanced topics.  After 1.5 hours, I start to get annoyed at time, and I start looking for ways the video could have been edited down.  A lot of length is caused by poor pre-planning, which is the cause of the unnecessary verbosity.  This happens in writing too.  You need to be concise, not too wordy, and that comes from diligent pre-planning and organization.  Be careful about just winging it with the videos, that's like expecting your freewriting to be great writing.  No, your freewriting has to be edited down, it has to be refined, revised.  If you're gonna ask people to invest 2 hours of their Sunday to watch your video, there better be something good in there.  Otherwise stick to making 1 hour videos.  Nobody really gives a sh*t about wasting 1 hour at worst.  But when you're investing, 2, 3, 4 hours of time watching a video -- you're looking to get something  carefully composed and organized, none of this 'winging it' sh*t -- the verbosity just pisses you off -- because you realize that the video could have been either made shorter or broken down in a better way.  Nobody wants to hear you ramble on.  You gotta be sensitive to that.  You're way more interested in your rambling than other people are.  So, you gotta keeps your points clear and your discourse tight.  This applies to writing and to videos.  Excessive verbosity in writing and in videos is often caused by not doing enough pre-planning or not doing enough revising, or both.  Excessive verbosity is fine when you're freewriting, but it has to be tightened up and cleaned up in your final product, the work you release.  This is one reason I prefer writing to videos is that writing can be revised much easier than videos can.  What I would do if I were shooting videos is maybe do a practice run before you shoot the video and record that too.  Then make an outline of the practice run and use that outline to tighten up your final work.

@Joseph Maynor I think there’s definitely some truth in what you’re saying but thus far I always liked and loved the videos no matter how they came out, what their quality was (generally it was always superb and I never ever felt like wasting time) or regardless of their length. I’m definitely one of those people who really enjoy longer videos, especially from Leo. 

Surely there are people with less free time on their hands than others but I always like to think that there are way more people who really appreciate longer videos, especially on more deep and complicated topics. If you really care about the the content and are able to filter out the best for yourself than the length really doesn’t matter at all, but if you don’t really care and are less interested... well then I think Leo’s videos are not that suited for you in the first place. (Not necessarily addressing you, Joseph, right now but just in general)

Leos videos were always goldmines to me. Some smaller and some definitely bigger, but as I mentioned it before it never occurred to me that I’m mismanaging or wasting my time with sticking around for hours on end.
