Good reminder about not going too far in either direction when it comes to spirituality and pragmatism. Lately I’ve fallen into the trap of placing too much emphasis on the spiritual aspect causing me to resent the practical which isn’t healthy. Gotta keep a balance in order to enjoy existence
I don't know how many people you've enlightened but binging you for 4 days and not doing much else.other than meditation and self discovery I have had some pretty profound revelations. And I've had a guru for awhile now. All of the information I've gathered and been told, you were the only one to explain it the way you did. I am not me, I am simply experiencing me.
LEO - U HELPED A MUSICIAN SEE THE TRUTH. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I WILL GIVE BACK AND HELP THE OTHER LOST SOULS FIND THEIR WAY TO THE TRUTH VIA THE MAGNIFICENT WORLD OF AUDIO. MUCH LOVE. 🖤🖤🔊
@@imagin.e.ternity because I'm not interested on any opinions, likes nor subscribers. It applies on all videos. Truth is truth and it cannot be changed, a circle is alvays round and angles are alvays pointy. Simple :D
Watched whole video, watching again and sharing... This is one of my favorites. Life js this video game we are playing but forgetting we are the player and not the character of our minds that we often listen to
Leo, I love your content generally speaking. I haven't always agreed with you, but never felt a need to comment as I took it on as a point of self reflection for myself - I could just be looking at things wrong. However, after hearing your talk about CNN and negative skepticism, I have to point out a few things I think are flaws in your thinking. I was just having a conversation with my gf about how some people get so fixated on a thing, a result, an attachment, that they leave blind spots in their awareness and consciousness that others can sit in and manipulate said person. I.e, you wish to be a good person so your religious and religious leaders, whom you fixate on for feedback, can easily manipulate you. That is If you don't have a certain degree of consciousness and awareness. Mainstream media, including fox news and CNN, provide the lens of fixation for broader society. They get to report what they want, and not report what they don't want to report. Some stories they chase after, some they don't . There is always a narrative being pushed regardless if they intend to or not. Which means they create the blindspots that society can be manipulated through. And people do manipulate. Both left and right are guilty of that. So how can we really trust an entity, mainstream media platform or otherwise? Are there not infinite perspectives to take on any one thing or event? Aren't all entity's, individual or otherwise, simply trying to survive? And that is where their biases and corruption take root and grow? Secondly, you go on to talk about how CNN is the only mainstream media platform that has some journalist integrity. You cite that there actual journalists that got a degree in journalism, ect, but aren't these journalists simply products of the social matrix they've been churned through. Meaning that a lot of the biases you mentioned that certain scientists have, also apply to journalists, the context change being the only noteworthy difference. As above, so below. Same actors, different context. I'm not saying distrust all, or that these mainstream outlets spread nothing but meaningless propaganda and narrative that should be ignored, but rather to take everything given from anyone, be it Leo, a mainstream media platform, scientist, professor, pastor, preacher, bishop, or teacher, ect, with a MASSIVE grain of salt, and leave it to my personal experience to sift through the half truths and biases deeply interlaced with all information and fact given. I feel like that spiel you had on CNN, and negative skepticism in general was a slippy way of saying we should listen to some degree to authority. Which is great advice for surviving in society, but not great advice for freeing ones mind. That whole talk and perspectives you stated just seemed very antithetical to the content of many of your videos. Anywho, great episode so far, looking forward to finishing it now. Very open to feedback from anyone.
Good comment. Personally I thought Leo was playing a mind game with his CNN comments etc. Provoking the listener to disagree and experience his mind playing ego working, or smothering others who agree and than confronting them with there one sided bias. But unfortunately… it turned out not to be a mind game but really his opinion. Very disappointed of this shallow opinion. Shame on you Leo, especially when you compare it with some of your great work.
@@NathanielStockwell sounds like a sheepish response. You absolutely do hold a teacher up their teachings . If they don’t do the things they say they do, the things they say are so important, they are a hypocrite with no credibility and not worth listening to, and not worthy of being called a teacher.
As soon as a teacher translates abstract spiritual or philosophical teachings into political or practical or societal opinions and values, a dangerous line has been crossed and you have too be very very careful. Leo should be also
Just wanted to reach out to anyone who might have listened to this and felt either overwhelmed, more confused than before, or who found this depressive; I think Leo makes many good points but fails to get to the real meat, the deeper part of it all. Alot of what he says is true but expressed in a very shallow (for lack of a better word) way. That being said I think Leos work and videos are important and can be used by many as a stepping stone. Ill try and list it as quickly and simply as I can here: Life is in fact like a game, your body is real, but you are not your body, when you die your soul or essence, or consciousness whatever you wish to call it lives on. You are also NOT your thoughts in your mind. Your mind is like a tool you can use it, wield it, but it no more YOU than your body. Which is why life is like a big game we are playing with our bodies, its very real, but in the big picture its not THAT serious, since when the body dies your essence does not. I disagree with the concept of killing yourself if you don't want to play. You are here to experience all "the game" (life) has to offer. So that your soul/consciousness/essence can learn and grow. I also disagree with some of his descriptions of mastering the game. YOU don't and shouldn't HAVE to do anything. Every experience is valid and necessary to learn and grow. This doesn't mean you shouldn't strive to "master the game" if you want to be pragmatic go for it, if you want to close yourself off and go within, Go for it. The important thing is to do what you feel is necessary. If you feel called to listen to Leo, Go for it. Just don't feel like you HAVE to do anything in order to "win" at life. A major point I would like to share is focus on the here and now. Don't constantly look into the future and say I will be happy/complete when I get to that point. You can have a plan but as you follow your plan focus on the step your on now, don't let the here and now be a means to an end. As the quote goes: Its the journey not the destination. If anyone want to reach out feel free to message me, I'm not an expert by all means but I found this was lacking some important points. I would be happy to try and help you feel more grounded and at ease. Much love to you all!
I just was watching at: "Why valuable things require development over time" episode, one of my favorites, helpful, deeply valuable, this one has improved my life!
Same here. Just finished a few minutes ago and now onto recognizing and playing the game well. I think the next most important step is the application of all Leo is beautifully laying out. Wonderful videos!!
After watching Concept VS Reality by Leo I gave it a really good thought and it dawned upon me that ANYTHING with language is a pure concept of the mind.
Thank you so much leo, you opened my mind to the hallucination that is reality. I also want to thank you,because, the manner in which you speak I find it beautifully simple, english not being my first language, yet I understand pretty much every word you speak. I'm deeply grateful, my life has changed so much, thanks to you, and all the effort I've been putting on understanding and grasping reality.
@LEGENDS AND ICONS I agree to a degree. I think Leo does a good job keeping the balance overall. The reason I still listen to him is the he has acknowledged some of his shortcomings. And he is still relevant. I do find it a bit hard to understand how he can keep such a generally positive view on the media. Is he deluded or am I? It is my opinion that in countries where journalists are censored, murdered and opposed by the state. They are the real deal. And in countries where the state sponsors the media, journalists and politicians cover for each other and socialize privately. They are the disingenuous kind. It is not black and white, they can truthfully cover topics that aligns with their agenda. While "forgetting" or lying about the topics that do not. Take for example my country. The state funded media is the self appointed unbiased arbiters of truth, most even agree. In the same breath, the state media of Russia, Poland, Hungary and others are claimed to be lying propaganda organs. How stupid do they think we are.
He has never been an actual victim of CNN shenanigans. It is clear that from the Las Vegas ivory tower perspective, CNN and elites don't look so bad. Actually, if you find yourself to be a victim of these forces, you probably lack the skills to gracefully play this mind game called life. That being said, I would suggest one simple meditation exercise to Leo: Take some LSD or even better magic mushrooms (it doesn't have to be a heroic dose). Wait for the drug to kick in and then take any picture or video of Jeff Bezos and gaze deep into his eyes for a while. If you find the experience horrifying, you can always switch Elon Musk to tone it down a bit.
The most annoying and frustrating thing that i have experienced that i may have some huge philosophical insight today. And then in a couple of weeks/months i come to the same conclusion again, just from a slightly different angle. In that moment i'm really questioning if i'm just running in circles, fooling myself into thinking that i am making progress toward something(or rather nothing).
Pay attention to your emotions as well, most messages that our own mind tries to communicate, are emotional messages, not only rational ones. It may be possible that the root cause of a recurrent thought, is the search for emotional epiphany.
There is a philosopher that says this game is actually the tutorial, and when you get enlightened you get to create and play other games, and that this is the purpose of life, like a training story that needs to be belived, so theres fear and desire: you run towards something or scape from something, either way you run and develope the spirit ( and its atributes: will, thought,and perception ) there is a point you realize that the universe is a psychological phenomenon, so you start to meditate from a notion, an undesrtanding, not ideas. And gradually gain peace, joy, lightness, fullness, lucidity, power over mind( everything ), undertanding and inmense pleasure from love, and ultimatelly the only thing to do is play and enjoy.
@James Durkin not watching TV (TH-cam counts :P) truly leads you to living under a rock. You don't need to consume media but to think it's poison is just mentally weak. Do you not trust yourself enough to just judge what you hear with your own integrity? No, the news is all corrupting and all powerful cover your eyes and ears. Fear of the media is a lot like the old fear of demonic influence imo
The best thing you can do is just read the headlines only for major news. Watching it will get you sucked in and you pretty much know the bias that will be there anyway from the type of channel you are watching.
Yes except even if CNN updates or publishes a correction, people don't often go back to an article or episode they've already watched. The damage is already done
I have recently become painfully aware that for the majority of people, conjuring up the self-image of personal status and protecting that personal status against humiliation in other people's eyes, is the only consciousness they have. Narcississ falling in love with his reflection is actually a creation myth - that's all humans are - for 99% of people there is nothing else in their mind.
@4:22 It's because it's literally that number zero times. 1 x 4 = four, *one time.* and 0 x 4 is 4 *zero times,* so no 4 at all. I had to reason my way through this as well lol-- question everything-- big and small.
This topic buttreses so well with Leo's previous episodes. I remember one time at age 10 I asked the question am I God. I studied and majored in psychology at the University of Southern Maine. I started studying cognitive processes my sophomore year. That year...i was 23....i started to experience things that I couldn't explain away. Huge synchronization followed...imagine having weird things happening. BREADCRUMBS
Absolutely fascinating perspective. Woke up from a 'bad dream' of smoking weed and living in mom's basement for years. Now a month clean, this really invigorated me. Spirituality is a savior, but i gotta feed my lower needs. Thank you for this holistic approach, life will never be the same. 👀✌️❤️
Hey Leo just wanna leave a comment , I watch lots of your videos , and just wanna say thank you 🙏 I just want you to know your TH-cam channel has helped me so much , much love brother and thank you again
Here we have a person, who is lightyears ahead in self-realisation, but completely oblivious about the state of politics in these days. The actual scope of him warning against incels and rightwingers, claiming CNN as a credible source while being completely blind to the leftist lunacies is astonishing. While listening to him years ago, I would have never believed I would be one day writing this comment. With all due respect, go learn some life, Leo. No wonder his ratings are down.
Even from first time I watched him, he seemed innately creepy and with an aura of evil. Just trust your gut, we know subconsciously who people are. Literally every word and sentence he utters is premeditated, precise manipulation, using same NLP techniques of media and advertising, notice how he literally says things in exactlty the same way like a scripted robot over and over (repetition programming), the same precise rhythm and timing ratios, manipulative hypnosis voice intonations, mimicking the way teenagers/young adults speak (i.e. using "fuck" a lot and speaking like a teenage bitch) in order to especially manipulate these target audiences (NLP mirroring), imitating the way certain politicians, media influencers and cult leaders speak you can literally see it if you know what you're looking for. just watch his interviews with Peter Ralston, study how that guy speaks and then compare it to Leo and you'll literally see how he mimics and directly steals the speaking styles and personalities of other people, shocking and creepy. This thing called "Leo" (but Leo!) doesn't have its own mind...like is he even human? A.I. ?? wtf !
@@ageorg1314 I see what you are talking about. This is close to what I have been thinking all along. No man can redeem himself and his life without becoming a King. To become King, one has to become a Warrior first. To become a Warrior, one has to explore and develop his physical body to reach the limits of his genetic potentiality. By by doing this, he finds the path of dominance, and his ego is liberated from the shackles of being submissive. Submissive males are the ones who seek power in mental gymnastics and manipulation. Leo is lacking badly in this respect.
@@ageorg1314 If Leo is running a cult, what do you think his aims are? money? to sell his books and courses? I've listened to him for years but I never paid a cent. Some of his videos resonated with me on a deep, personal level, more than I could ever express. But I've always been wary, and some of the stuff he says pass through me with no weight at all. He seems to have some kind of hatred or pre conceived notions/stereotypes of the type of people who watch his videos, and I've never fit into any of them. I sometimes actually feel myself bored and insulted by what he says, because I predicted what we would say hours in advance, its like he never holds himself to a standard, but screeches shit to belittle others. I suppose running a group that hints to know some esoteric truth but cannot be easily accessed was always ripe for abuse and manipulation.
@@jgats He probably wants the 3 things those high in psychopathy pursue: sex, money and power (social prestige/notoriety). Anything else he tries to portray is simply psychopathic, strategic word-salad mental masturbation to con the gullible. As an entertainer, life coach, con-artist or whatever the fuck he is lol, I think his talent is speaking in a way which portrays things which everyone literally already knows; as much deeper and profound then we tend to see them, for the simple fact most humans are busy and therefore can't develop their contemplation skills or insight the same way a prisoner, or a wealthy eccentric person, or monks and nuns, or the introverted mentally ill loner is able to. There are millions of people out there much deeper/insightful than he is. Again, his skill is creating the illusion of depth and profundity by using his particular, neuro-linguistic programming manipulation cult leader way of speaking: strategic pauses, intonations, tangential remarks to throw you off and implant subconscious suggestions, specific word choice, strategic facial expressions, reverse psychology tactics for example when he addresses certain criticisms he claims people have against him, he casts the illusion that he's sincere or with innocent intentions or that he actually gives a fuck, when actually you're just being toyed with even more by falling for his psychopathic bait. He's slippery as a fish, no wonder he's able to mindfuck (and bodily fuck) his organization into existence, no different than any other cult leader, politician etc. And you mentioned how you were touched by some of his videos, me too! And you know why that is? Because we simply haven't been previously exposed to this type of knowledge/philosophy. There are 100,000's of books out there on these types of topics, Leo Guru read like 10 or 20 of these, learned the impressive terminology and ideas, learned how to speak like a cult leader, and voila. Nothing more to it, really. If an actually educated person like a PhD professor watches his videos, they'd clearly see all the intellectual and logical holes and contradictions. No thesis, just word salad mental masturbation entertainment, manipulated into some vague web of undefined notions and ideas, not for Leo, but for the incel Duracell subscribers. Again, his game is the WAY he says what he says, but not what he actually says.

I love how you included your moms way of thinking about your work. I always wanted to ask if you teach any of your family about this and what are their thoughts lol
Is Leo a spiritual teacher or a spiritual MASTER? 🤔 If you are uncertain of the distinction between the two, I shall be MORE than happy to enlighten you. 😇
@@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices oops my bad. Ahem, I always wanted to ask if he “mastered” any of his family about this and what their thoughts were LOL
22:57, 35:17, 1:24:00 Leo is referring to the different state of mind your mind reaches when you’re out of the dream. He is saying your need one ego death, you need many and MEANWHILE you relearn about the dream
I have found that these videos are so well done and reality is so entangled that the wisdom can be mirrored to many other contemplations and experiences
This is the first time I've caught your video 28 mins after upload.Thanks for the wisdom you share, it is invaluable information that has helped my personal growth tremendously. I am an astral traveller and lucid dreamer. The dream realm is a mind game also. And I love it. Keeps things interesting
@@abdulrashid-iy8lt Where do you stand as far as your spirituality ? Do you follow a religion ? Do you meditate ? Its easier to travel when you are aware of some things.
@@abdulrashid-iy8lt In order to astral travel. You need to prepare yourself. You body and your mind. So you need to learn to meditate. Mind awake. Body asleep. Learn to focus your mind on what you want to achieve. Learn to relax your body, and mind, without falling asleep. During these practices. You will fall asleep. You might experience a lucid dream. Which is fine. Some people. Including myself. Believe that, a lucid dream, is astral travel. Your dream is astral travel. You are just consciously unaware. Then once you become aware. Much easier. But, like everything else, it comes with practice...
I love the insight that if life is a game, all there is to do is play. And for me, games are the most fun when I put my full heart into it. We're here to have fun baby!
You are the only foreigner..whose English I can understand word by word without the need of subtitles..Is it way you always speak or have you worked on it...anyone else feels the same?
It is interesting what Leo said about Olympic participants. I felt the same sadness and puty watchibg those kids in the games, wondering what significant portion of their childhood might have been spent training for such accuracy and efficiency, instead of chasing the butterflies so to say..
Loved the concept, but again Leo.. You have an enormous blind spot when it comes to the current world situation. You're definitely not applying skepticism the right way there.
I am beginning to believe that I've been preprogrammed to god realise. Ive been isolated, drunk and partying on a tiny island, for 20 years just living in the moment continuously. And then the pandemic totally removed my transient existence and I had to work out what was going on. My mind had an epiphany at something you previously said, id not understood the word prior to that incident. Ive been unable to pinpoint my experiences to any religion or belief but encompass all. I'm realising omnipotence. I smoke a little bit of bulk buy weed, cheap mass grown, not strong, no other drugs.This is occurring to me is the best way to describe. The being completely alone and getting okay with it was a big part of my recent physical experience. I've been stripped of all material wealth and all close family and friends have been temporarily blocked out due to minor differences. I've been forced to realise nothing matters except the moment. I'm fucked really but what I'm really doing is painting whimsical flowers on secondhand furniture and turning my failed restaurant into a shop. I'm hand sanding because the exercise and feeling of that is superior to that of fucking yourself up holding a vibrating machine to get the thing done quicker but which is the thing you say you enjoy doing. If it sells it sells, buying isn't my job so i needn't concern. Fuck CNN, you need to listed to my mate Russell Brand. And I feel a little sad engaging in a conflict of opinion with you as I realise I'm just a lonely god trying to jazz things up. Hoping I'm coming back down and not always constantly aware of it like if you take drugs. Eeeeek. You are an arrogant little fucker and I can see where it comes from but you are right. Truth. transcends all religion.
When you said “try and convince one of these thoughts that is all a mind game” i said fuck all, I don’t truly believe it if I’m honest. And then you started laughing and said “you can’t” I’m so happy to see I’m not crazy. I swear. I love to know there’s people seeking the same answers and struggling with their own thoughts. I’m going to patiently listen to all your videos tbh. You are an amazing human being. I can tell you have struggled to get here and you have surely worked your ass off trying to find answers. I have a lot of respect for you, trust me you can save people’s lives just talking and being you. Thank you
Leo, either you’ve been paid off, or you need to pay way more attention to the news. I’ve been following you for years. But, and honestly for the first time, you’re dead wrong here.
I don't think he's been paid off, Leo has been consistent from the beginning, 9/11, Global Warming, Covid, Leo believes all of it. I can't blame the drugs because I know people who think the same and they have not done any drugs.
Anyone who believes either Left or Right, especially Alex Jones... Is retarded. It goes even beyond "two wings of the same bird." They're both children of Bernays.
@@CFChristian Jones has been right way more often than not, and more and more every day his predictions are coming true. I wouldn’t be so quick to discount him.
@@ashlee7831 I will do just that. His role isn't to "predict" or help anyone out with anything. I'm sure Biden, or any other iconic figure or symbol on the Left can "predict" just as much, if not more. I keep putting it in quotations because it's similar to predicting tomorrow will be sunny. "a dead clock is right twice."
My mom would shout at me aggressively when I questioned anything to her. She had a lot of anger issues and she was aggressive unlike other women who were gentle sensitive and empathetic. I hate it when anyone mentions some moments with their mom. Because my mom was totally different than a woman. She was very masculine and thought like a man.
Recently, many claim the gov’t has taken many of their freedoms. But they don’t realize they the constant fear of losing their freedom is their prison worse than any government can imprison..
@@dtsai - We are born into slavery. None of us is free. We are ALL slaves to the system we are born into. America is the worst - but most of us don't understand how or why.
The best way I've found to describe what you're saying here is the nature of sound. I will explain briefly here for anyone who is interested. First I propose that sound is an "illusion" so, we "know" that space has no medium for sound to travel, I usually describe it like this: When I move something back and forth (on earth) it pushes and pulls molecules of air and creates pressurised and un-pressurised regions of air that propagate away from the point of oscillation. These regions - when they hit your ear drum cause it to move back and forth. Inside your ear there is a sack of fluid, I forget what it is called, but the fluid starts to react to the pressure transferred from the vibration of your ear drum. Inside that sack, there is tiny hairs at the bottom of it that react to the movement of that fluid, kind of like sea grass moving with currents of the ocean. When the hairs touch the skin as they move back and forth, they complete an electrical circuit. When the circuit is connected it sends an electrical current to neurons in the brain and "lights up" a certain pattern in the brain depending on the frequency of connections. So really, what you "hear" is just an interpretation that your brain makes that is purely electrical. If that makes sense. I just woke up not long ago so if that didn't make much sense I apologise.
This is amazing. I was just struggling with the concept of life today and it’s as if I had imagined this into my reality to remind myself and gain perspective again.
Wow I really don't agree that other people, animals and pets are "imaginary". I get what you're saying is they are actors in your life but they are also simultaneously existing points of consciousness. They are essentially you, driving another physical body and ego. So when they die, it doesn't matter in the fact that when we die as well, our energies will recombine and we will be reunited even if for just a "moment" between conscious lifetimes. They aren't just mirages or figments of a hallucination. They have consciousness as well. They are iterations of our own consciousness outside of our ego(point of view)
In this static universe where everything exists simultaneiously in the present moment, consciously picking one thread and living that threat when you could have picked any other...that is indeed the definition of a mind game. It's like choosing which movie out of a googleplex you want to watch again. Of course it is a game! And it doesn't matter which thread you choose, all the threads will always be what they are through eternity. Nothing but the movie ever changes.
So are you saying we don’t have free will we are just living out a life that has been preplanned start to finish but our mind. thinks we’re making her decisions.???
People immerse themselves in the illusion of reality. They do it so much that they begin to identify with being a victim of their suffering, not realizing that it's literally all in how they interpret things. E.g., two different people both trip while walking into a room full of strangers: one feels embarrassed, the other laughs it off. It's all in how you interpret things. It's nothing more than the story you tell yourself about it. Many people get angry and reject the fact that what we perceive to be reality is all an illusion because of the shame they'd feel as a result of admitting that all their problems and suffering only exist in their head. But that shame--the idea of being ashamed about something natural and understandable--that's also an illusion. It's ALL an illusion ;)
He surely is biased against those who believe in conspiracy theories to a degree where he's is willing to defend the very academia that he is specifically calling out for having a heavy bias. CNN along with all other news outlets is the very essence of the ego and bias he spends the rest of the video talking about. That is a bit confusing.
If I wanted to brainwash myself with propaganda o would watch cnn myself. I’m not here to watch propaganda but Leo just confirmed everything is a propaganda.
I feel like my whole life I was waking on one path, a path with ups and downs, lefts and rights, bumps etc. Actualized.ord made me realize I make the path, I can even burn that path and make a complete newer one.
Im chess player and yes. Most people only play (chess or life) and never study the game of life (chess). I know many players who played 10000- 30000 games and still have 1300-1500 rating in chess (low) Instead of invest this time to improve. And like in life people love to play blitz, rapid games because is instant gratification (winning games) and chess can be very addictive. Its much harder just to sit and try to understand your mistakes, learn new pattern, moves, traps. BTW.
Leo is exceptionally politically naive, biased and ignorant. Do not take his politics seriously. CNN is extraordinary dishonest and a slave to the woke agenda.
I would really like to better understand the CNN comments. I agree with the pendulum swinging and people falsely claiming skepticism. The way I see it, buying into either side of the coin IS the mind game. But perhaps Leo isn’t buying into either side and is just using CNN as an example.
I agree with most of what he said but he’s totally lost when he’s talking about believing government, politicians and CNN. Also, the mask and shots don’t work!
Notice how if you google a question its more than likely that someone asked before? Humans have been experiencing for so many years... We are using bodies as vessels to experience. We are the universe experiencing itself. Everything is everything. Notice how movies and art are all just repeated patterns of life on different levels from different perspectives? Its all one in the same. Were all one.
As leo talk, i was remebering that movie " life is beautiful" ( a vida é bela) dont know the title in english...anyways, that movie is the perfect metaphor of this video:You can see life for what it is, the suffering,pain...but you can be aware of all that and make it so it is fun and actually enjoy the game, as ruthless and unfair as it may seem
I love your work Leo because I have such a similar mind to yours. A lot of spiritual people on TH-cam approach this from an esotheric perspective while you do it from a philosophical rational one. And that's exactly the path I took when I first got into this. And I assume it's the same for many people here
I’m especially skeptical when Leo says that of course CNN has its bias but they tell the truth and their journalists are trained to tell the truth. I’m going to do 3 things. 1. Look through my own bias (shadow). Look at societies bias (shadow) and most of all look at wether I’m going to see Leo Guara as the final authority. ( which is what this channel is really all about (Leo’s Ego, except when on tryptamines 🌝)
@@adamsmith307 Covid Passport, bruh the news is the ultimate goverment mouth piece and social natrix reinforcer. Leo is fucking deluded on this issue its so weird
Part of it is that he is trying to keep his business as mainstream and aligned with pro-corporate views as possible. You could figure out for yourself why a business entity would want that.
The last half hour was gold. I lately was leaning more towards meta stuff thinking this is it, I'm going to be enlightened and all's swell. I was/ am kidding myself. I'm very much half baked, very attached to material stuff, haven't mastered anything and haven't attained/acquired much. It's great to consume the meta stuff with sincerity and keep it in the back of your mind, but be somebody before trying to be nobody . Thanks Leo 🙏
Leo, you can't imagine how much you help me with this. For the last six years I've lost six people my grandma, my uncle, my 2 aunts and both of my parents. Yesterday I've lost a cat - 7 months old that I raised from baby. Thank you for the words: Your cat is imaginary, your parents are imaginary. I was searching for a way to deal with that. In fact I crossed upon your channel when I was searching for "How to deal with strong negative emotions". It was 2018 and from that moment I stick with you and I have watched most of your videos. You are extrimely wise and help a lot! I am grateful that I crossed upon your wisdom and support! 😀
@Scorp 83 I heard what he said. I see the point he is trying to make. But because of his own ideology he is still more trusting of CNN and then calls right wing people racists. So I think it's a little difficult to be honest with yourself when you already have a bias towards judging people falsely.
Scorp 83 There is really no way for the average person to determine whether or not CNN is true. By his logic what is true ? Humans are not capable of applying what he is saying about mind games because by completely applying the mind game theory you would be either dead or in an insane asylum.
This Is a thought with which i have been playing this whole week: what if this Is a game I can play a LOT of times (infinite times?) After I die, I get born again, same country same year same parents same genes. I am eternal not only as awareness but as THIS GUY also. I start at the same point but every game Is different since i make different choices and end up in totally different Places. Till after a lot of times playing it I start mastering it and reach to the master life (best possible scenario - the one with most love expressed) and then I become my Higher Self. Who was guiding me all these times to reach that point.
Thank you Leo once more for free sharing such great stuff. Keep going. I hope you consider make a portuguese (the 6th world language) translation of your future book.

Good reminder about not going too far in either direction when it comes to spirituality and pragmatism. Lately I’ve fallen into the trap of placing too much emphasis on the spiritual aspect causing me to resent the practical which isn’t healthy. Gotta keep a balance in order to enjoy existence
Sir, would you share your insta id?
Yes i feel the same!
I don't know how many people you've enlightened but binging you for 4 days and not doing much else.other than meditation and self discovery I have had some pretty profound revelations. And I've had a guru for awhile now. All of the information I've gathered and been told, you were the only one to explain it the way you did.
I am not me, I am simply experiencing me.

Watched whole video, watching again and sharing...
This is one of my favorites.
Life js this video game we are playing but forgetting we are the player and not the character of our minds that we often listen to
Leo, I love your content generally speaking. I haven't always agreed with you, but never felt a need to comment as I took it on as a point of self reflection for myself - I could just be looking at things wrong. However, after hearing your talk about CNN and negative skepticism, I have to point out a few things I think are flaws in your thinking.
I was just having a conversation with my gf about how some people get so fixated on a thing, a result, an attachment, that they leave blind spots in their awareness and consciousness that others can sit in and manipulate said person. I.e, you wish to be a good person so your religious and religious leaders, whom you fixate on for feedback, can easily manipulate you. That is If you don't have a certain degree of consciousness and awareness. Mainstream media, including fox news and CNN, provide the lens of fixation for broader society. They get to report what they want, and not report what they don't want to report. Some stories they chase after, some they don't . There is always a narrative being pushed regardless if they intend to or not. Which means they create the blindspots that society can be manipulated through. And people do manipulate. Both left and right are guilty of that. So how can we really trust an entity, mainstream media platform or otherwise? Are there not infinite perspectives to take on any one thing or event? Aren't all entity's, individual or otherwise, simply trying to survive? And that is where their biases and corruption take root and grow?
Secondly, you go on to talk about how CNN is the only mainstream media platform that has some journalist integrity. You cite that there actual journalists that got a degree in journalism, ect, but aren't these journalists simply products of the social matrix they've been churned through. Meaning that a lot of the biases you mentioned that certain scientists have, also apply to journalists, the context change being the only noteworthy difference. As above, so below. Same actors, different context.
I'm not saying distrust all, or that these mainstream outlets spread nothing but meaningless propaganda and narrative that should be ignored, but rather to take everything given from anyone, be it Leo, a mainstream media platform, scientist, professor, pastor, preacher, bishop, or teacher, ect, with a MASSIVE grain of salt, and leave it to my personal experience to sift through the half truths and biases deeply interlaced with all information and fact given.
I feel like that spiel you had on CNN, and negative skepticism in general was a slippy way of saying we should listen to some degree to authority. Which is great advice for surviving in society, but not great advice for freeing ones mind. That whole talk and perspectives you stated just seemed very antithetical to the content of many of your videos.
Anywho, great episode so far, looking forward to finishing it now. Very open to feedback from anyone.
Good comment. Personally I thought Leo was playing a mind game with his CNN comments etc. Provoking the listener to disagree and experience his mind playing ego working, or smothering others who agree and than confronting them with there one sided bias. But unfortunately… it turned out not to be a mind game but really his opinion. Very disappointed of this shallow opinion. Shame on you Leo, especially when you compare it with some of your great work.
Focus on the content, don’t turn it around on the teacher.
@@NathanielStockwell sounds like a sheepish response. You absolutely do hold a teacher up their teachings . If they don’t do the things they say they do, the things they say are so important, they are a hypocrite with no credibility and not worth listening to, and not worthy of being called a teacher.
As soon as a teacher translates abstract spiritual or philosophical teachings into political or practical or societal opinions and values, a dangerous line has been crossed and you have too be very very careful. Leo should be also
I'm a conservative but I still love Leo's content. Just gotta stay open minded
Just wanted to reach out to anyone who might have listened to this and felt either overwhelmed, more confused than before, or who found this depressive;
I think Leo makes many good points but fails to get to the real meat, the deeper part of it all. Alot of what he says is true but expressed in a very shallow (for lack of a better word) way.
That being said I think Leos work and videos are important and can be used by many as a stepping stone.
Ill try and list it as quickly and simply as I can here:
Life is in fact like a game, your body is real, but you are not your body, when you die your soul or essence, or consciousness whatever you wish to call it lives on.
You are also NOT your thoughts in your mind. Your mind is like a tool you can use it, wield it, but it no more YOU than your body.
Which is why life is like a big game we are playing with our bodies, its very real, but in the big picture its not THAT serious, since when the body dies your essence does not.
I disagree with the concept of killing yourself if you don't want to play. You are here to experience all "the game" (life) has to offer. So that your soul/consciousness/essence can learn and grow.
I also disagree with some of his descriptions of mastering the game. YOU don't and shouldn't HAVE to do anything. Every experience is valid and necessary to learn and grow. This doesn't mean you shouldn't strive to "master the game" if you want to be pragmatic go for it, if you want to close yourself off and go within, Go for it. The important thing is to do what you feel is necessary.
If you feel called to listen to Leo, Go for it. Just don't feel like you HAVE to do anything in order to "win" at life.
A major point I would like to share is focus on the here and now. Don't constantly look into the future and say I will be happy/complete when I get to that point. You can have a plan but as you follow your plan focus on the step your on now, don't let the here and now be a means to an end.
As the quote goes: Its the journey not the destination.
If anyone want to reach out feel free to message me, I'm not an expert by all means but I found this was lacking some important points.
I would be happy to try and help you feel more grounded and at ease.
Much love to you all!
You are appreciated 💛
I love you
Can you share your email please?
Furtrade, Love your comments. Life is a journey, not a destination.
Beautiful! Thank you. Share your email if it’s possible :)
I just was watching at: "Why valuable things require development over time" episode, one of my favorites, helpful, deeply valuable, this one has improved my life!
Same here. Just finished a few minutes ago and now onto recognizing and playing the game well. I think the next most important step is the application of all Leo is beautifully laying out. Wonderful videos!!
"The denial of the denial of the denial of the denial, is the mind game." I got the chills on that truth 💎.
Realizing life is a game was an awakening for me. Born in the game.
After watching Concept VS Reality by Leo I gave it a really good thought and it dawned upon me that ANYTHING with language is a pure concept of the mind.
Exactly. Thats all mind games but without it this game could'nt be played.
“You can’t use science to deconstruct science” you couldn’t have said it better yourself
this is the first time i ever seen Leo make an ass of himself, about CNN, saying that they are factual, that is quite laughable
Thank you so much leo, you opened my mind to the hallucination that is reality.
I also want to thank you,because,
the manner in which you speak I find it beautifully simple, english not being my first language, yet I understand pretty much every word you speak. I'm deeply grateful, my life has changed so much, thanks to you, and all the effort I've been putting on understanding and grasping reality.
CNN truthful? Amazing that anyone still thinks that. Trust has to be earned.
Actally CNN is DEMONIC.
@LEGENDS AND ICONS I agree to a degree. I think Leo does a good job keeping the balance overall. The reason I still listen to him is the he has acknowledged some of his shortcomings. And he is still relevant.
I do find it a bit hard to understand how he can keep such a generally positive view on the media.
Is he deluded or am I?
It is my opinion that in countries where journalists are censored, murdered and opposed by the state. They are the real deal.
And in countries where the state sponsors the media, journalists and politicians cover for each other and socialize privately. They are the disingenuous kind.
It is not black and white, they can truthfully cover topics that aligns with their agenda. While "forgetting" or lying about the topics that do not.
Take for example my country. The state funded media is the self appointed unbiased arbiters of truth, most even agree.
In the same breath, the state media of Russia, Poland, Hungary and others are claimed to be lying propaganda organs.
How stupid do they think we are.
He might be with the elites
@@alexandersutveckling8302 I think he's actually with the idiotic brainwashed slaves.
He has never been an actual victim of CNN shenanigans. It is clear that from the Las Vegas ivory tower perspective, CNN and elites don't look so bad. Actually, if you find yourself to be a victim of these forces, you probably lack the skills to gracefully play this mind game called life.
That being said, I would suggest one simple meditation exercise to Leo: Take some LSD or even better magic mushrooms (it doesn't have to be a heroic dose). Wait for the drug to kick in and then take any picture or video of Jeff Bezos and gaze deep into his eyes for a while. If you find the experience horrifying, you can always switch Elon Musk to tone it down a bit.
Thanks Leo. Have grown considerably over the years using your videos. Another beautiful video “Reality is a mind game”. Thx
jesus christ. you have been duped. this guy is not legit.
The most annoying and frustrating thing that i have experienced that i may have some huge philosophical insight today. And then in a couple of weeks/months i come to the same conclusion again, just from a slightly different angle. In that moment i'm really questioning if i'm just running in circles, fooling myself into thinking that i am making progress toward something(or rather nothing).
Are you receiving philosophical insight ?
How far do you take your research ?
Do you meditate ? I recommend it if not.
Do you know that you are God ?
You have to run in circles to get to the bottom
Pay attention to your emotions as well, most messages that our own mind tries to communicate, are emotional messages, not only rational ones. It may be possible that the root cause of a recurrent thought, is the search for emotional epiphany.
Progress towards NOTHING is what this all work is about)
I should have put the word progress in quotes...
There is a philosopher that says this game is actually the tutorial, and when you get enlightened you get to create and play other games, and that this is the purpose of life, like a training story that needs to be belived, so theres fear and desire: you run towards something or scape from something, either way you run and develope the spirit ( and its atributes: will, thought,and perception ) there is a point you realize that the universe is a psychological phenomenon, so you start to meditate from a notion, an undesrtanding, not ideas. And gradually gain peace, joy, lightness, fullness, lucidity, power over mind( everything ), undertanding and inmense pleasure from love, and ultimatelly the only thing to do is play and enjoy.
I think Leo needs to be more skeptical of CNN.
One believes what they want
@James Durkin not watching TV (TH-cam counts :P) truly leads you to living under a rock. You don't need to consume media but to think it's poison is just mentally weak.
Do you not trust yourself enough to just judge what you hear with your own integrity? No, the news is all corrupting and all powerful cover your eyes and ears. Fear of the media is a lot like the old fear of demonic influence imo
@James Durkin well, some peoples idea of a Utopia is another person's hell. That's why we live in strict chaos
The best thing you can do is just read the headlines only for major news. Watching it will get you sucked in and you pretty much know the bias that will be there anyway from the type of channel you are watching.
@James Durkin I know I compared TH-cam to tv in my other comments but I do not watch TV. I selectively choose what I watch in TH-cam
Yes except even if CNN updates or publishes a correction, people don't often go back to an article or episode they've already watched. The damage is already done
Leo takes “playing with yourself” to a whole other level
I have recently become painfully aware that for the majority of people, conjuring up the self-image of personal status and protecting that personal status against humiliation in other people's eyes, is the only consciousness they have. Narcississ falling in love with his reflection is actually a creation myth - that's all humans are - for 99% of people there is nothing else in their mind.
Too bad the "mind" doesnt exist...
@4:22
It's because it's literally that number zero times.
1 x 4 = four, *one time.*
and 0 x 4 is 4 *zero times,* so no 4 at all.
I had to reason my way through this as well lol-- question everything-- big and small.
If you have four apples and you divide these between no people(0) the apples are still on the table.
so 4:0=4
Well seems pretty obvious to me. 4 x nothing is still nothing "AKA 0"
This topic buttreses so well with Leo's previous episodes. I remember one time at age 10 I asked the question am I God. I studied and majored in psychology at the University of Southern Maine. I started studying cognitive processes my sophomore year. That year...i was 23....i started to experience things that I couldn't explain away. Huge synchronization followed...imagine having weird things happening. BREADCRUMBS
Magnificent! I am so inspired to master these games I choose to play! 🤩
This is peak Actualized content. Definitely checking that video on deconstructing science out. Thanks.
Absolutely fascinating perspective. Woke up from a 'bad dream' of smoking weed and living in mom's basement for years. Now a month clean, this really invigorated me. Spirituality is a savior, but i gotta feed my lower needs.
Thank you for this holistic approach, life will never be the same. 👀✌️❤️
your videos are therapeutic
This was the very insight I got from my first and only Ayahuasca ceremony!
Just a mind game
Hey Leo just wanna leave a comment , I watch lots of your videos , and just wanna say thank you 🙏 I just want you to know your TH-cam channel has helped me so much , much love brother and thank you again
we really appreciate what you do Leo
I questioned myself so much and was so sceptical that I literally disappeared for 15 years and have now only just reimagined myself back into reality
Say again Gary
Here we have a person, who is lightyears ahead in self-realisation, but completely oblivious about the state of politics in these days. The actual scope of him warning against incels and rightwingers, claiming CNN as a credible source while being completely blind to the leftist lunacies is astonishing. While listening to him years ago, I would have never believed I would be one day writing this comment. With all due respect, go learn some life, Leo. No wonder his ratings are down.
Even from first time I watched him, he seemed innately creepy and with an aura of evil. Just trust your gut, we know subconsciously who people are. Literally every word and sentence he utters is premeditated, precise manipulation, using same NLP techniques of media and advertising, notice how he literally says things in exactlty the same way like a scripted robot over and over (repetition programming), the same precise rhythm and timing ratios, manipulative hypnosis voice intonations, mimicking the way teenagers/young adults speak (i.e. using "fuck" a lot and speaking like a teenage bitch) in order to especially manipulate these target audiences (NLP mirroring), imitating the way certain politicians, media influencers and cult leaders speak you can literally see it if you know what you're looking for. just watch his interviews with Peter Ralston, study how that guy speaks and then compare it to Leo and you'll literally see how he mimics and directly steals the speaking styles and personalities of other people, shocking and creepy. This thing called "Leo" (but Leo!) doesn't have its own mind...like is he even human? A.I. ?? wtf !
@@ageorg1314 I see what you are talking about. This is close to what I have been thinking all along. No man can redeem himself and his life without becoming a King. To become King, one has to become a Warrior first. To become a Warrior, one has to explore and develop his physical body to reach the limits of his genetic potentiality. By by doing this, he finds the path of dominance, and his ego is liberated from the shackles of being submissive. Submissive males are the ones who seek power in mental gymnastics and manipulation. Leo is lacking badly in this respect.
@@ageorg1314 If Leo is running a cult, what do you think his aims are? money? to sell his books and courses? I've listened to him for years but I never paid a cent. Some of his videos resonated with me on a deep, personal level, more than I could ever express. But I've always been wary, and some of the stuff he says pass through me with no weight at all. He seems to have some kind of hatred or pre conceived notions/stereotypes of the type of people who watch his videos, and I've never fit into any of them. I sometimes actually feel myself bored and insulted by what he says, because I predicted what we would say hours in advance, its like he never holds himself to a standard, but screeches shit to belittle others.
I suppose running a group that hints to know some esoteric truth but cannot be easily accessed was always ripe for abuse and manipulation.
@@jgats He probably wants the 3 things those high in psychopathy pursue: sex, money and power (social prestige/notoriety). Anything else he tries to portray is simply psychopathic, strategic word-salad mental masturbation to con the gullible. As an entertainer, life coach, con-artist or whatever the fuck he is lol, I think his talent is speaking in a way which portrays things which everyone literally already knows; as much deeper and profound then we tend to see them, for the simple fact most humans are busy and therefore can't develop their contemplation skills or insight the same way a prisoner, or a wealthy eccentric person, or monks and nuns, or the introverted mentally ill loner is able to. There are millions of people out there much deeper/insightful than he is. Again, his skill is creating the illusion of depth and profundity by using his particular, neuro-linguistic programming manipulation cult leader way of speaking: strategic pauses, intonations, tangential remarks to throw you off and implant subconscious suggestions, specific word choice, strategic facial expressions, reverse psychology tactics for example when he addresses certain criticisms he claims people have against him, he casts the illusion that he's sincere or with innocent intentions or that he actually gives a fuck, when actually you're just being toyed with even more by falling for his psychopathic bait. He's slippery as a fish, no wonder he's able to mindfuck (and bodily fuck) his organization into existence, no different than any other cult leader, politician etc.
And you mentioned how you were touched by some of his videos, me too! And you know why that is? Because we simply haven't been previously exposed to this type of knowledge/philosophy. There are 100,000's of books out there on these types of topics, Leo Guru read like 10 or 20 of these, learned the impressive terminology and ideas, learned how to speak like a cult leader, and voila. Nothing more to it, really. If an actually educated person like a PhD professor watches his videos, they'd clearly see all the intellectual and logical holes and contradictions. No thesis, just word salad mental masturbation entertainment, manipulated into some vague web of undefined notions and ideas, not for Leo, but for the incel Duracell subscribers. Again, his game is the WAY he says what he says, but not what he actually says.

Have you guys already checked this week Leo's +5hs interview/conversation at the theories of everything TH-cam Channel?
I think it is just the part 1 lol!!
Thank you so much, now i will.
Not everyone is ready for the truth
I love how you included your moms way of thinking about your work. I always wanted to ask if you teach any of your family about this and what are their thoughts lol
Is Leo a spiritual teacher or a spiritual MASTER? 🤔
If you are uncertain of the distinction between the two, I shall be MORE than happy to enlighten you. 😇
@@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices oops my bad. Ahem, I always wanted to ask if he “mastered” any of his family about this and what their thoughts were LOL
22:57, 35:17, 1:24:00 Leo is referring to the different state of mind your mind reaches when you’re out of the dream. He is saying your need one ego death, you need many and MEANWHILE you relearn about the dream
If you look at history, how could you not be sceptical of the military industrialization complex?
I have found that these videos are so well done and reality is so entangled that the wisdom can be mirrored to many other contemplations and experiences
This is the first time I've caught your video 28 mins after upload.Thanks for the wisdom you share, it is invaluable information that has helped my personal growth tremendously. I am an astral traveller and lucid dreamer. The dream realm is a mind game also. And I love it. Keeps things interesting
Next time you travel.
Say......
Take me where I need to be...
Dear friend❤Can you please tell me how to do astral travel?
@@abdulrashid-iy8lt
Where do you stand as far as your spirituality ?
Do you follow a religion ?
Do you meditate ?
Its easier to travel when you are aware of some things.
@@awakenedwarrior952I don't believe religion. I am aware of my thought just.how can I stral travel ?
@@abdulrashid-iy8lt
In order to astral travel.
You need to prepare yourself.
You body and your mind.
So you need to learn to meditate.
Mind awake. Body asleep.
Learn to focus your mind on what you want to achieve.
Learn to relax your body, and mind, without falling asleep.
During these practices. You will fall asleep. You might experience a lucid dream. Which is fine. Some people. Including myself. Believe that, a lucid dream, is astral travel. Your dream is astral travel. You are just consciously unaware.
Then once you become aware.
Much easier.
But, like everything else, it comes with practice...
Anyone else feel like the second half of videos now Leo just goes on a tangent and talks whatever he feels like, regardless of the video title?
I love the insight that if life is a game, all there is to do is play. And for me, games are the most fun when I put my full heart into it. We're here to have fun baby!

You are the only foreigner..whose English I can understand word by word without the need of subtitles..Is it way you always speak or have you worked on it...anyone else feels the same?
Yeah his words are pretty clear compared to other youtubers, even though I am almost bilingual now.
Can you make another episode directly related to strategy and critical thinking. Those were amazing
OOhh another video!! I already listen a 6 hour interview of Leo this week, you are very productive!
It is interesting what Leo said about Olympic participants. I felt the same sadness and puty watchibg those kids in the games, wondering what significant portion of their childhood might have been spent training for such accuracy and efficiency, instead of chasing the butterflies so to say..
Leo, thanks for making videos. I know it takes a lot of work. But I enjoy and find a lot of value in them
Loved the concept, but again Leo.. You have an enormous blind spot when it comes to the current world situation. You're definitely not applying skepticism the right way there.
How so? How are you so convinced you have things figured out?
You certainly playing a mindgame when praising CNN, otherwise, you can't differentiate unbiased info from biased (which is also part of a mindgame).
So, this is also a mind game?
Yeah, pretty much.
Everything
yes
Yes why are you still listening to these ideas still? Spiritual communities are Maya in Action. Stop seeking an experience.
@@BeyondNonduality this isn't a spiritual community, it's a man sharing his perspective/opinion. To call it Maya on top of that is just disgusting
I am beginning to believe that I've been preprogrammed to god realise. Ive been isolated, drunk and partying on a tiny island, for 20 years just living in the moment continuously. And then the pandemic totally removed my transient existence and I had to work out what was going on. My mind had an epiphany at something you previously said, id not understood the word prior to that incident. Ive been unable to pinpoint my experiences to any religion or belief but encompass all. I'm realising omnipotence. I smoke a little bit of bulk buy weed, cheap mass grown, not strong, no other drugs.This is occurring to me is the best way to describe. The being completely alone and getting okay with it was a big part of my recent physical experience. I've been stripped of all material wealth and all close family and friends have been temporarily blocked out due to minor differences. I've been forced to realise nothing matters except the moment. I'm fucked really but what I'm really doing is painting whimsical flowers on secondhand furniture and turning my failed restaurant into a shop. I'm hand sanding because the exercise and feeling of that is superior to that of fucking yourself up holding a vibrating machine to get the thing done quicker but which is the thing you say you enjoy doing. If it sells it sells, buying isn't my job so i needn't concern. Fuck CNN, you need to listed to my mate Russell Brand. And I feel a little sad engaging in a conflict of opinion with you as I realise I'm just a lonely god trying to jazz things up. Hoping I'm coming back down and not always constantly aware of it like if you take drugs. Eeeeek. You are an arrogant little fucker and I can see where it comes from but you are right. Truth. transcends all religion.
When you said “try and convince one of these thoughts that is all a mind game” i said fuck all, I don’t truly believe it if I’m honest.
And then you started laughing and said “you can’t”
I’m so happy to see I’m not crazy. I swear. I love to know there’s people seeking the same answers and struggling with their own thoughts. I’m going to patiently listen to all your videos tbh.
You are an amazing human being. I can tell you have struggled to get here and you have surely worked your ass off trying to find answers. I have a lot of respect for you, trust me you can save people’s lives just talking and being you. Thank you
Problem is not everyone wants to play the game, but yet we are still forced to watch someone else roll the die for us.
Primary Lesson: Life is all a mind game.
Secondary Lesson: Balance (duality)
i following u 2 years u are the best youtuber i never seen
Leo, either you’ve been paid off, or you need to pay way more attention to the news. I’ve been following you for years. But, and honestly for the first time, you’re dead wrong here.
I don't think he's been paid off, Leo has been consistent from the beginning, 9/11, Global Warming, Covid, Leo believes all of it. I can't blame the drugs because I know people who think the same and they have not done any drugs.
Anyone who believes either Left or Right, especially Alex Jones... Is retarded.
It goes even beyond "two wings of the same bird." They're both children of Bernays.
Let that go..
@@CFChristian Jones has been right way more often than not, and more and more every day his predictions are coming true. I wouldn’t be so quick to discount him.
@@ashlee7831 I will do just that.
His role isn't to "predict" or help anyone out with anything. I'm sure Biden, or any other iconic figure or symbol on the Left can "predict" just as much, if not more. I keep putting it in quotations because it's similar to predicting tomorrow will be sunny.
"a dead clock is right twice."
My mom would shout at me aggressively when I questioned anything to her. She had a lot of anger issues and she was aggressive unlike other women who were gentle sensitive and empathetic. I hate it when anyone mentions some moments with their mom. Because my mom was totally different than a woman. She was very masculine and thought like a man.
A man's prison is his own mind
Recently, many claim the gov’t has taken many of their freedoms. But they don’t realize they the constant fear of losing their freedom is their prison worse than any government can imprison..
@@dtsai - We are born into slavery. None of us is free. We are ALL slaves to the system we are born into. America is the worst - but most of us don't understand how or why.
The best way I've found to describe what you're saying here is the nature of sound. I will explain briefly here for anyone who is interested.
First I propose that sound is an "illusion" so, we "know" that space has no medium for sound to travel, I usually describe it like this:
When I move something back and forth (on earth) it pushes and pulls molecules of air and creates pressurised and un-pressurised regions of air that propagate away from the point of oscillation.
These regions - when they hit your ear drum cause it to move back and forth.
Inside your ear there is a sack of fluid, I forget what it is called, but the fluid starts to react to the pressure transferred from the vibration of your ear drum.
Inside that sack, there is tiny hairs at the bottom of it that react to the movement of that fluid, kind of like sea grass moving with currents of the ocean.
When the hairs touch the skin as they move back and forth, they complete an electrical circuit.
When the circuit is connected it sends an electrical current to neurons in the brain and "lights up" a certain pattern in the brain depending on the frequency of connections.
So really, what you "hear" is just an interpretation that your brain makes that is purely electrical. If that makes sense.
I just woke up not long ago so if that didn't make much sense I apologise.
I appreciate your comment, such direct framing and explanation of the relativity and 'fluidity' of how everything comes about, pretty rad! 🙌
Leo is officially lost in the Matrix.
Your commentary is just a mind game 👁️
This vid was actually less woo woo than other ones what are you talking about?
That means he woke up though
true
You are the ONE, Leo.
The University is playing with our mind , A Crazy BullShit Game😇
This is amazing. I was just struggling with the concept of life today and it’s as if I had imagined this into my reality to remind myself and gain perspective again.
this guy is a total fraud. trust yourself enough to not fall for this tripe.
To understand mind game is just to simply know who u are, and the game is seen through effortlessly
Wow I really don't agree that other people, animals and pets are "imaginary". I get what you're saying is they are actors in your life but they are also simultaneously existing points of consciousness. They are essentially you, driving another physical body and ego. So when they die, it doesn't matter in the fact that when we die as well, our energies will recombine and we will be reunited even if for just a "moment" between conscious lifetimes. They aren't just mirages or figments of a hallucination. They have consciousness as well. They are iterations of our own consciousness outside of our ego(point of view)
In this static universe where everything exists simultaneiously in the present moment, consciously picking one thread and living that threat when you could have picked any other...that is indeed the definition of a mind game. It's like choosing which movie out of a googleplex you want to watch again. Of course it is a game! And it doesn't matter which thread you choose, all the threads will always be what they are through eternity. Nothing but the movie ever changes.
So are you saying we don’t have free will we are just living out a life that has been preplanned start to finish but our mind. thinks we’re making her decisions.???
John Lennon said it best Leo, "we all been playing those mind games forever, some call it magic, the search for the grail".
People immerse themselves in the illusion of reality. They do it so much that they begin to identify with being a victim of their suffering, not realizing that it's literally all in how they interpret things. E.g., two different people both trip while walking into a room full of strangers: one feels embarrassed, the other laughs it off. It's all in how you interpret things. It's nothing more than the story you tell yourself about it.
Many people get angry and reject the fact that what we perceive to be reality is all an illusion because of the shame they'd feel as a result of admitting that all their problems and suffering only exist in their head. But that shame--the idea of being ashamed about something natural and understandable--that's also an illusion. It's ALL an illusion ;)
Was Leo playing a mind game when he defended CNN? I'm so confused.
He surely is biased against those who believe in conspiracy theories to a degree where he's is willing to defend the very academia that he is specifically calling out for having a heavy bias. CNN along with all other news outlets is the very essence of the ego and bias he spends the rest of the video talking about. That is a bit confusing.
I couldn't agree with you more
If I wanted to brainwash myself with propaganda o would watch cnn myself. I’m not here to watch propaganda but Leo just confirmed everything is a propaganda.
I feel like my whole life I was waking on one path, a path with ups and downs, lefts and rights, bumps etc. Actualized.ord made me realize I make the path, I can even burn that path and make a complete newer one.
Leo. Your pragmatic videos are interesting and understandable. Thanks for it.🙂🙂
Im chess player and yes. Most people only play (chess or life) and never study the game of life (chess). I know many players who played 10000- 30000 games and still have 1300-1500 rating in chess (low) Instead of invest this time to improve. And like in life people love to play blitz, rapid games because is instant gratification (winning games) and chess can be very addictive. Its much harder just to sit and try to understand your mistakes, learn new pattern, moves, traps. BTW.
@25:55 - Leo thinks CNN is factual? Hmm, 'there are no facts, only interpretations' - Leo Gura.
It is not always factual, but better than QAnon
Leo is exceptionally politically naive, biased and ignorant. Do not take his politics seriously. CNN is extraordinary dishonest and a slave to the woke agenda.
One of the most eye opening video I've watched in the past few years
Finding the balance is the key, thanks 🙏 Leo
I would really like to better understand the CNN comments. I agree with the pendulum swinging and people falsely claiming skepticism. The way I see it, buying into either side of the coin IS the mind game. But perhaps Leo isn’t buying into either side and is just using CNN as an example.
I agree with most of what he said but he’s totally lost when he’s talking about believing government, politicians and CNN. Also, the mask and shots don’t work!
i had accidentally clicked pause and was having a stare off with Leo for bout 30 seconds till i realised i'd stop the vid
Notice how if you google a question its more than likely that someone asked before? Humans have been experiencing for so many years... We are using bodies as vessels to experience. We are the universe experiencing itself. Everything is everything. Notice how movies and art are all just repeated patterns of life on different levels from different perspectives? Its all one in the same. Were all one.
Beautiful 🙌🙌🙏👌
As leo talk, i was remebering that movie " life is beautiful" ( a vida é bela) dont know the title in english...anyways, that movie is the perfect metaphor of this video:You can see life for what it is, the suffering,pain...but you can be aware of all that and make it so it is fun and actually enjoy the game, as ruthless and unfair as it may seem
I love your work Leo because I have such a similar mind to yours. A lot of spiritual people on TH-cam approach this from an esotheric perspective while you do it from a philosophical rational one. And that's exactly the path I took when I first got into this. And I assume it's the same for many people here
I’m especially skeptical when Leo says that of course CNN has its bias but they tell the truth and their journalists are trained to tell the truth. I’m going to do 3 things. 1. Look through my own bias (shadow). Look at societies bias (shadow) and most of all look at wether I’m going to see Leo Guara as the final authority. ( which is what this channel is really all about (Leo’s Ego, except when on tryptamines 🌝)
I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around Leo's stance on conspiracies and the msm... again...
He’s incredibly close minded about this issue - despite the fact that what was considered conspiracy 18months ago, has become true.
@@adamsmith307 Covid Passport, bruh the news is the ultimate goverment mouth piece and social natrix reinforcer. Leo is fucking deluded on this issue its so weird
Part of it is that he is trying to keep his business as mainstream and aligned with pro-corporate views as possible. You could figure out for yourself why a business entity would want that.
@@cake8211 thought as much, incredibly ironic considering his narratives. Feels disingenuous
The last half hour was gold. I lately was leaning more towards meta stuff thinking this is it, I'm going to be enlightened and all's swell. I was/ am kidding myself. I'm very much half baked, very attached to material stuff, haven't mastered anything and haven't attained/acquired much. It's great to consume the meta stuff with sincerity and keep it in the back of your mind, but be somebody before trying to be nobody . Thanks Leo 🙏
Leo, you can't imagine how much you help me with this. For the last six years I've lost six people my grandma, my uncle, my 2 aunts and both of my parents. Yesterday I've lost a cat - 7 months old that I raised from baby. Thank you for the words: Your cat is imaginary, your parents are imaginary. I was searching for a way to deal with that. In fact I crossed upon your channel when I was searching for "How to deal with strong negative emotions". It was 2018 and from that moment I stick with you and I have watched most of your videos. You are extrimely wise and help a lot! I am grateful that I crossed upon your wisdom and support! 😀
Sorry for your losses.
Life is actually just a dream. It all becomes one big memory just like our dreams become memories!
Exacly Dream or Game , Dreamed or Played by one mind. In every illusory separated Minds
Hahaha you can trust CNN? Even people that work at CNN don't trust CNN. This guy is a real "thinker"
If you trust demons then you cn trust CNN. Personally I don't.
@Scorp 83 I heard what he said. I see the point he is trying to make. But because of his own ideology he is still more trusting of CNN and then calls right wing people racists. So I think it's a little difficult to be honest with yourself when you already have a bias towards judging people falsely.
Scorp 83 There is really no way for the average person to determine whether or not CNN is true. By his logic what is true ? Humans are not capable of applying what he is saying about mind games because by completely applying the mind game theory you would be either dead or in an insane asylum.
@@whoareyou6854 I can however determine quite easily that CNN is DEMONIC. That one is a breeze.
@@Russells2323 A bias? LMFAO. This guy is in a DEEP FUCKING SLEEP.
This Is a thought with which i have been playing this whole week: what if this Is a game I can play a LOT of times (infinite times?) After I die, I get born again, same country same year same parents same genes. I am eternal not only as awareness but as THIS GUY also. I start at the same point but every game Is different since i make different choices and end up in totally different Places. Till after a lot of times playing it I start mastering it and reach to the master life (best possible scenario - the one with most love expressed) and then I become my Higher Self. Who was guiding me all these times to reach that point.
Boo ya!!!!!!! 😎👍
You ruined the video at CNN
What
Thank you Leo once more for free sharing such great stuff. Keep going. I hope you consider make a portuguese (the 6th world language) translation of your future book.
