    What most people don't know is that you can actually increase your IQ.

  4. how much does IQ matter

    Basman replied to Ramanujan's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Most things you need to live a good life are generally quiet simple to understand. Well accessible for average levels of intelligence. A high IQ is good for niche high reasoning skillsets, but there are many valuable skillsets that don't require super high IQ. Society tends to overate high IQ skills in my opinion. Quote of the year 😂
  5. It depends on who is defining intelligence. I don’t understand science. Seriously — I couldn’t even tell you what a nucleus is using science’s worldview and terminology. I look at a picture of a cell and don’t understand jackshit. Even if you gave me a lecture on it using simple English. I can’t read or make out books; I can’t visuals in my mind due to aphantasia. But, for some reason, I can read Leo’s writing or videos for 10,000 hours and most of it makes sense. And I can take weed or ketamine and understand what God is in less than an hour. So does that make me stupid or intelligent? Depends on how you frame it.

  7. Half-thoughts

    Jirh replied to Jirh's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    Women are judged for having emotional baggage. Men are judged for not having enough thereof.
  8. When a baby learns how to walk, it doesn't straight up just stand up and walk. It falls down repeatedly until it learns the right balance. Same thing when you're learning how to ride a bike or how to drive a car. You can't do it perfectly until you make some errors. If you're doing the work correctly, these are signs of progress, and they should be temporary. If they persist, then there is a problem. On the other hand, I would be wary of people who never experienced any of those signs, because that means they're not learning anything. Spiritual progress is not linear. It's messy and confusing and doesn't have one single map. But it's also very rewarding if you are serious about it.
  9. Yes, the knowledge has been around for roughly 3000 years and its probably older than that. Humanity obviously needs more time to work on it since it hasn't sunk in yet so Leo and others get to "teach" for a living. Im not a fan or anything but at least Leo does some decent deep dives on the big topics whereas most others just repeat the same easily digestible main points over and over again ad nauseum.
  10. You don't have to go nuts doing this work. I try not to.
  11. Posting this in advance quiet interessting
  12. If you're pretty dense psychedelics might be a good start.
  13. How you access those realms?

  14. What is some music you like?

    Ccosmos cats I am in Love.
  15. Yes, you do it slowly so you dont go nuts. You can go into it super fast but then you will lose control. If you go through it slowly you can be zen in madness.
  16. This is where I refer you to a practice (I assume you have one). Or perhaps Peter Ralsons works - books - to assist. Leo's booklist has fantastic material for this. One just needs to be clear regarding what IS, outside of all thought, belief, conceptualisation.
  17. With that attitude you're never gonna find out.
  18. @VioleGrace I appreciate your support btw, brother! I'm glad you're finding value in what I share in this forum
  19. That was funny tho😂😂
  20. There are no spiritual realms . Burden of proof is on you not me.
  21. The Father, who art in heaven. Self with a capital 'S'.
  22. So what if I am really negative element here. I am just a normal human being that is sick of this modern repackaging of Advaita Vedanta which is very old philosophy. Leo didn't invented anything new.
  23. You could. That would be the real science.

  24. 165 Days Before College

    Everyday replied to Everyday's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    hello 🫩 so I have been watching porn and faping since I wrote my last entry. I felt so bad about that but I am still pretty much doing it daily. my business got way better because we don't a bunch of squishy dumplings. basically we earned more than last Black Friday. I didn't feel comfortable with such a volume. I didn't have enough time to add new products and so on. I gained a few kilograms of fat because of eating sweets, junk food. I had a period I drank a beer daily to get the buzz necessary to finish my work. Spanish classes are going great. I got a discount as well and I am able to speak more than ever in Spanish with my tutor. I am still not doing enough Spanish daily tho. I have been watching TV series and movie recaps, besides everything I didn't watch for the last 3 years. I still feel horrible about that. the gym is going well. I am doing a new schedule, hitting the gym at noon or in the evenings. I had the to work more in the morning but I am also going late now at sleep. so I am working more, sleeping less and doing the things above I perceive as bad. I feel I fell of the tracks. I even smoked week with friends after a break over a year and a half. I expected to feel nuts but I just felt more 😔 depressed I have been taking with my friend to start time business together but I felt some resistance for weeks to actually put in the work. I feel bad about that as well. I have an opportunity but I avoid to work my ass of I feel kinda frustrated for working so much as there is so much left to do. I also want to learn more Spanish, read more and so on, take care of myself, drive etc I didn't drive as often I didn't do any progress with the course from optimized living I started reading Marcus Aurelius s book and I feeel so much resistance. I have been struggling to read it for like 3 months. horrible I am swiping on tinder daily but without a picture . just gooning. I wonder when I'll have enough money to love out I avoided coming with un update here. I don't feel my best I want to start a new hobby, playing the guitar. I should drive tho
  25. Yeah it is but now you are going to dismiss me and drown in your fantasy of spiritual realms. If such things exist why can't science access them ?
  26. You could have just answered my very simple question and avoided revealing that you are the real negative element here.
