I feel its sorta how a bad mindset often gets amplified and leads to a amplified psychedelic experience, but sooner or later you can always surrender, breathe, let go and peace abounds and eternal lightness confused you. I feel its just misunderstood phrases and terminology.

So you think legacy media is doing a good job? Sure Ken LaCorte is a conscious conservative but he provides valuable insights for the left to reflect on. There are plenty of be echo chambers on the left that will never challenge your worldview of that's what you prefer. -

I have to ask Leo Gura how do you exactly become more conscious ... Without drugs if you're sober ... Like do you repeatedly become more aware of self inquiry into imagination or I am god or this all solipsism ... There are no Leo videos on how to become more concious without drugs or meditation and there isn't a video what even is imagination. I'm just asking I have these videos on repeat like how I had an Alan Watts addiction or Abraham Hicks - or is this me in deep denial afraid to awaken and lose reality to being this human life -
I've been blessed with affordance to be lazy in which I've spent my time truth searching... So my door is always open (though it may be weeks before I get back to your DM) ""I do not know if this is an admission, an apology or a cry for help."" --> What you are doing , I would label as "Residue" of your experiential singularity of the moment when you added all that up ... Don't judge residue , it is the fertility that causes roots to grow. I get told to go see 988 and that I'm schizo, probably 25-100 times a week nowadays. If you want to say you want to kill everyone and shove your head through a wall... thats okay , thats just letting off steam bro. Don't let people's reactions cause you to feel like what you naturally doing is not okay... We must always (And here is my first lesson to you) Accept what is. So we all have ego, we get enraged, or malicious-minded , or whatever... the correct way to handle this is... 1) Acknowledge it "This is real" "This is happening" (You can't heal what you can't integrate) 2) Allow yourself to feel it fully (This is pouring Hydrogen Peroxide on the open wound) 3) NOW THE TURNING POINT --> REFRAME your Frame of minds that perceives the point ((How is the worst thing ever , actually the best thing in disguise?) (Clean it up) 4) Release your grip on it, (Let Go, Unheld, etc) (Be done with it) --- My second piece of advice to you... Is grounding your sense of "Who" you are in some real structural mappings , so when you think Instead---" I have been having a 1/4 life crisis. I work, live alone and am not denying progress made. I have never had a serious relationship. I immaturely burned bridges with two life time friends these past few years. Unresolved family issues— I drag myself into. Still moderate to heavy weed usage. Nicotine pouches." ---Instead : You will have a sense of prioritization of which "you" is relevant and important to you in relation to the other priorities of your many aspects of self example: Are you at the stage of Co-dependent / Independent / Interdependent relationships? Where are you with your own self-relationship? How does the balance of your self-relationship maintenance weigh vs having a significant other partner? ... Would you rather put more time/energy into quitting smoking(replacing habit) , or handling family drama? What is more important to you now, family relationship, personal relationships, or self-relationship? THE EASY WAY TO DO THIS: (Your Meta-Guide) Take Wilber's AQAL Model, break it down, use speedrun meta-strategy ( first 20% will be TYPES, Just do this , 2 10 minutes tests knock these personality tests out real quick) MBTI TEST Enneagram WHY: Because you get 80% of the package with these 2 models , Pareto optimized. All Quadrants All Levels(Stages) , Lines, States Types ( Just do the Types(Horizontal) tests, be aware of 4 Quadrants, and gradually work on the Levels/Stages(Vertical) Quadrants is the simple model for you to use like the pre-layer to the others example: I feel you, WE are in a rough position in life, IT is natural in life, ITS all okay because we all die anyways THIS IS VERTICAL (Levels / Stages) Levels/Stages (Spiral Dynamics / Terri O'Fallon STAGES (her vids are the best) / Ego Development Theory / ) --- Another thing I can't suggest enough... Journaling... WHY JOURNAL: Given 5 journal entries of you just venting your thoughts out like you did here, you will see patterns connecting them, Thats why Also why: (When you get old, you won't have recordings of your life, except for those journals, they will be the embodiment you spilled onto pages and preserved for your own collection of your life later on, you don't get a second chance to have a journal in your 20's or 30's ) --- Also my dude, never feel ashamed to post something like this... in fact, I ask for your help in setting the example , as you have done by posting this, you are displaying a sense of courage that gives others the ability to move further... You should realize that this post might of felt negative to you, but you a god damn war hero to some people

@PolyPeter With the set of “Intelligence” defining all possible sets: I Identify extremely specific evidence based wants. I create a court-room as a thought experiment, then I have plaintiff, defendant and any other necessary ‘staffing’ lay their case followed by the judge making the final call. This acts as a “truth machine”. On what funnels out, I create an extremely specialised feedback loop around those wants using the scientific method for truth discernment, followed by a rinse and repeat. What is truth? Truth is simply the absence of falsity. What is intelligence? Intelligence is simply information more likely aligned with truth, in this analogy we have the operant and the operators. Within this analogy, operator and operant are both one with exclusivity to the former while irreducibility exists on scales that fall outside this conversation. Intelligence cannot divide itself in multiplication, however it can self-multiply from union, following the logic that strictly defines the parameter spaces reflecting interconnection. As in, symmetrical multiplication of opposites connecting, that’s in many ways how dualities become a system of one, division keeps opposites alive, and union kills them then leaves a system. Purely reflective of dimensional constraints in theoretical logic presently taught; not a container for infinity, just the intelligence thats used to commonly denote. Contradicting this process generally has zero utility for any meaningful method of falsification, and when the mind says it does, that’s usually but not always a good analogy for how people end up seeking personal coaches to help them answer why they can’t determine, meet or manage their wants. Irrespectively, outliers always eventually find their way to the same methodological technology but, like take telepathy, now past non-disclosures and scientific denouncement looks like a memetic psyop for geopolitically competitive reasons against the slowly growing evidence based unveiling. Life is an intuition and therefore a whiteboard to see and sketch dots presently not seen. Strategic revelation, geopolitically or in scientific outcomes, is an analogy for how success tends to link with the outcomes of converting blindness to sighted self-evidential reasoning. This closed loop alone, helps us remember that life doesn’t have to be and actually isn’t very mysterious, enough absence of evidence and enough evidence of absence are just cycles of light (sun) and dark (moon) that eventually become the sight we call the evidence of truth that reflects what we call reality. Analogously as well, sight begets more sight that is self-referential that never becomes an “other”, and it’s the same reason we only ever create one reality, even if it’s the One Reality that encompasses all other possible realities being the simultaneous container of God, Source, Love and Infinity; with the latter being corrective of any other denotation, as in God becomes contained by its own very Infinity, that is God itself. Our blindness, is reflective of any experiment on that division between the two, where the cycles we are bound by become the duality of multiplication and divisional chains reflective of the patterns sentience tends to want to reconcile into union. We act as those multiplications of God but only as subsets, bound to the superset of God. Drawing back to defining and chaining agency towards my wants in life; absences reflect the same pattern to achieve unity. And that’s done relative to the parameters of the set that encompass the logic of a human. Cyclical union is the operative pattern of life following successive patterns of iterative balance, and reflects the divisional multiplication you speak of across the animal kingdom and life as we presently know it. Non-division isn’t necessarily the goal of life, it’s just the present space of God relative to logic, and our healthiest operative movement as life. These are not truths I believe, but tools and patterns that survive falsification and are retained only while they continue to sharpen agency toward my wants within the frame I call God. And, it’s the only judge and courtroom I trust. For everything and everyone else: potential delusion, falsifying of evidence, memory and belief biases, conformity dynamics obscuring truth, paid off witnesses and testimonies, even if the monetary means is merely figurative, good will persons but are more shoulders in Isaac Newton’s “standing on the shoulders of giants”, even if all of us here, are just all the cells in unity coming together to forge said projective giant. A ‘want’ of sentience as a set, even when controlled for its divisions (i.e. anti-curiosity) which only reflect the pathway of the cycle that meets the unity that speaks it’s opposite language of truth multiplication. intelligence converges toward truth through falsification, remains self-referential in use, and never collapses into identity with reality, contained by its superset, God; and truths only at the edge of falsification, the unknown we all return to, One Courtroom, and it’s up to us about what kind of defendant to plaintiff we want to be on Gods superscript. Best wishes good sir. -
1. I self-generate my own suffering. 2. I self-generate negative emotion. 3. Feeling is one of the most intelligent aspects of survival. Also, self-knowledge. 4. I have no control. I take action on the top priority thing (or highest % to influence outcome) to push kinetic energy toward a potential outcome. I just stay the course and engage with the flow of life. Have the wisdom to know when to act. Insane shit happens. 5. I do not know. 6. Fear is deception. 7. Anything I reject outwardly is within me, manifested in an unconscious way. 8. Any thought, concept, belief, frame, ideal etc is just a cataract between Self and reality, obscuring what IS.

@BlueOak Personally I am not that scared from missiles attacks but my mom gets stressed only from hearing the news studio talk... so I assume that yes fear here is significant in general especially in the last two years. Hezbollah is dangerous so I understand why Israel needed to act. I don't see this as coming from conquest aspirations. For me, I am not interested in conquest stuff, just to live normal life.

No no no no no no that's not my point at all. My view of narcissism is extremely nuanced, since I deeply studied and observed the behaviour of my step dad who is a narcissist. I'm planning to go into more detail in the future. Thanks for bringing it up so I could clear up the misunderstanding

Is like asking does the sun illuminate itself? What already is doesn’t require to know as what is already is without question. "The sun that illuminates does not illuminate itself" is a metaphor for the nature of ultimate reality, consciousness, or the Self, which acts as the source of knowledge and awareness but is not an object to be observed itself. It suggests that the source of light (or awareness) does not need to shine upon itself to know its own existence; it simply is. -

leo is good for advanced stuff. like which is the most powerful meditation technique , problems of rationality , what is the purpose of life etc Leo sucks badly when it comes to practical things like, how to get a job , how to do well financially , how to get what you want etc etc

What if they have a mental disorder like narscissm and BPD?

If a man does not meet her needs, yes, she will replace him. But it is silly to expect otherwise. It is your job to know her needs and satisfy them within reason.

i agree that they are greate. when it comes to making money and being realistic , to get good result in life, better sources exist out there. there are people who are into self improvment from the 1960s and on. those who have 60 years of experience in self improvment. long before leo was born. giants , think tanks. if i had to do all over again , i would follow them. leo is good on advanced stuff. like enlightment , problems of rationality or things like that. leo sucks when it comes to simple things like making money , getting good in jobs

Generally, I might add that questioning how things are framed, like I'm doing here, is a brilliant source of autonomy. It puts the power of reality (as far as it is framed, which is often) in your hands. This is a lot of what Leo preaches and is concerned about with notions like conformity, becoming epistemically independent, intellectually sovereign. Whenever you encounter a frame that you might consider problematic, ask yourself "how does this frame make me feel?". "Do I agree with this frame?" "Is there a better way to frame the same things?". Because frames tend to connect to other frames, they tend to smuggle in things that might not be necessary or relevant for the problem you're trying to address. I've tried to provide a frame that I think is more relevant for many people and which explains why so many people have had such a negative reaction to @Cred and his let's call it neurodiversity educational crusade. And this is not me saying my frame is necessarily better for you. I'm saying you should question the frame and ask "if" it is better for you. I am not doing like @Cred and insisting that you should adopt my frame. Those who know Spiral Dynamics know that this does not work. You have to meet people where they are at, and address their actual needs, not enlighten them with a view that might not fit them. @Leo Gura A video on frames and how being aware of how you frame things is beneficial (and how to be aware of it), might be good.

Leo is getting payed to do drugs , while those who follow his advice , who are from 3rd world , starve and struggle when it comes to making money and being realistic one should either choose stephen r covey school of self improvment or david allen school of self improvment those 2 are the only good schools of self improvment out there. americans can say anything they want. americans youtuber are getting payed to do drugs , while 3rd world people struggle if they follow their advice stephen r covey and david allen school of self improvment work no matter where you are located. they work here in india if i had to do all over again , i would chooose those 2 sources considering that i have 12 years of experience in self improvment.

We humans do a great deal of pretending our logic will ultimately let us prevail. But there exist things within our current field of assumed to be shared experience which logic cannot keep us all safe from. Addictions that reach a certain degree of viciousness become amost completely past the ability of logic to fix. While in these addictive states, logic is impaired such that it cannot even be effectively applied in order to put an end to the madness. Though, some types of logic, applied in certain ways, may be a critical step to getting out of the addictive state. Often It takes some sort of external intervention, this is not always successful. There are many potential lapses and relapses. These can quickly become out of hand if one cannot seem to summon the inner strength & courage to finally put an end to it. At some point there must be a complete pivot 180° degrees. There must be an absolute shift with no uncertainty into the direction of certain growth. This is a serious mindset. It is not something that when truly adopted is taken for granted. This sounds drastic but doesnt often feel like much when your going through it. It just becomes a natural result of a higher state of consciousness which has occurred to you rather mysteriously. so how do you shift? The problem comes down to what State of Consciousness you are operating from. You see State of Consciousness is a fluid & dynamic thing. It can change dramatically from one moment to the next, like in a dream. Or it can be very stable and rigid, like in daily life. It can be clear and crisp, or it can be murky and magical. State of Consciousness can be influenced directly. This is a risky endeavor and there are many traps, often counterintuitive. One quote communicates: "Attempts to blossom consciousness without signifigant departure from self-concept, assumptions, precepts, addiction and fear, are not true attempts to blossom consciousness at all." -unknown Addiction is a state of consciousness. This is a state of consciousness that is particularly obscured by the collection of rouge and rampant selfhood components. A blindness, and often a blindness to that blindness. Perhaps inherent in some blindness is the blindness of that blindness. Ultimately the moral and ethical outcome is not fully the result of the individual's behavior and efforts.

Suppression. Maintaining Levels of Fear Maintaining Levels of Division. Maintaining artificial prices on essentials like medicine. For financial and political gain. Additionally people have increasingly less wealth, influence, or power relative to those with power.

So we've recently been introduced to the frame of "neurodiversity" (thanks @Cred, and welcome), which is implicitly (or rather quite explicitly) a pathological psychological frame, concerned with describing dysfunction or things that are broken. Notions like "executive dysfunction" gets intermingled with "passion", notions like achievement-oriented behavior gets intermingled with "narcisstic coping". Those who are different in some way or another, or "neurodivergent", are proposed to disengage from "normal" society, behaviors, activities, people (those who are more alike each other in some way or another). And those who are different are encouraged to identify with various labels from pathological psychology (ADHD, autism, psychosis, etc.). This pathological view of psychology is quite prevalent. I recently watched a video of Dr. K describing how high-achievers are "broken in the right ways". Interesting how you can take a pathological and essentially negative view of something which is so obviously non-pathological and positive. It's of course not surprising as Dr. K is a psychiatrist, and psychiatry is in essence, in its historical root, concerned about fixing pathology, healing the sick. And hence it frames the problem a certain way, and I believe the way you frame the problem has a lot to say with how you go about not just fixing the problem but relating to yourself and your own mind. And I believe pathological psychology can not coincidentally breed pathological frames of mind, of course inadvertently. Viewing yourself as broken, as something that needs to be fixed, and that is "other" than some ideal, is inherently disempowering, stifles autonomy and the feeling of being in control of your life, which as I'll get into, is one of the main drivers of health and functionality. Now, there are cases where taking a pathological view is necessary or useful, but this ideally comes second to taking alternative frames when these frames don't work. And I also believe these alternative frames can address many of the same issues as those proposed by the pathological ones, also especially the concern addressed recently by @Cred in the neurodiversity frame of "are you doing the right thing?", or "are you doing what is right for you?". And what are the alternatives? Well, not coincidentally, there is something called "positive psychology". It is concerned with notions such as happiness, well-being, health, motivation, mindfulness, meaning, etc. Actualized.org and its notions like self-actualization and life purpose, also fall under this category. You also have "salutogenic" perspectives on health, i.e. an approach towards healthcare and public health policy that is concerned about how to "increase health" rather than "fix illness" (i.e., it's about framing the problem in a positive rather than negative way). And it leads to notions such as empowerment, resilience-building, sources of social support and adaptive cognitive styles. You of course also have more Eastern psychology and religion and also Western religion with its spiritual frameworks of moving towards Enlightenment or sacred states of being, intermingled with moral and ethical philosophy on how to live a good life (Dharma, Jesus' teachings, Buddha's teachings, ancient stoicism, achieving eudaimonia). This ties back into well-being, peak states, peak performance, flow states, sources of purpose and meaning found in positive psychology (positive psychology is in large part a recapitulation and Western rebranding of ancient wisdom). And how do they address the questions of "are you doing what is right" and "what is right for you" or otherwise? If it is not self-evident in that you simply have to explore some of these perspectives (which I give my own orienting framework of here), I can give what I think is the most efficient, elegant or powerful model, and it's from positive psychology. You might've guessed it: Self-Determination Theory. You can choose to read more in-depth explanations of it (I will leave some links here [1], [2], [3]), or you can simply take this summary of the model: do what you want to do (autonomy), do what you are good at (competence), and do it with the support of those who support these things (belonging/relatedness). The question then is of course "but how do I do this in a world that is dangerous and other to me and against what I immediately want to do; taxes, bills, people who disagree, culture, law-makers, naysayers, squares, disbelievers?". Find a way to make it work, find the golden middle way. Life is not infinitely forgiving. That is the harsh reality. But once you have staked out the correct orienting framework — do what you want, do what you're good at, and do it with the support of the right people — you will sooner or later end up in a more and more suitable position, a place where you truly feel that you belong. Even if you feel that you don't fit quite anywhere, if you keep trying, you will find something, and it might find you.
