Can you say why? :3

@Leo Gura was there any reason why you removed your solipsism video before bro

@MihaiXx just like going to the gym bro, be able to tell the difference between good pain and bad pain. If you want to tear down the muscle to allow it to build back stronger, expect pain. But try to remain vigilant about the difference between your mind being broken down in a healthy way, or your mind breaking in unhealthy ways. u don't Wana stretch a muscle <3

If you want to remember someone's name imagine them shaking hands with someone you have known previously who has the same name as them. Imagine is 3 times to strengthen it.

There's quite a responsibility being advice giver. Sometimes the best way to learn is to teach...but also there's a big trap of constantly putting your attention on other people's issues which can actually be you avoiding your own development...easy to give advice, hard to lead by example

I have had multiple people who've experienced hardcore de-ja-vo (if that's how you spell it) when in my presence. I was sat in the back of one guys car and he just said "I have dreamed this before, you were sat right there, I was sat right here right like this." It's cool.

Leo's series about quantum mechanics talks about atoms and the double slit experiment...one of the primary pointers I took away from those videos was that even modern theoretical science (quantum mechanics) states that atoms are literally not solid objects but waves until they are observed, at which point your observation of them crystallises them and they form into objects. It says that when you look at something you literally cause it to take form.

there is solid evidence to suggest that the spirit of god has preserved teachings through religions like christianity...some really interesting and powerful stuff. christianity is right, but its symbolic. I actually have seen that there is tremendous power in christianity, the baptism of the holy ghost, multiple scriptures fall in line with simple stuff like 1 John 4:8 "...God is love." There is also some really great teaching about the three kinds of love Eros (sexual), Philos (friendship), Agape (unconditional love of God). 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. there are references of people being struck down in fear at the light of the presence of a being of power...and instances of people being "baptised in the holy spirit" ...shaking all over and speaking words that arent man made (martin ball said he sees this sometimes in 5meo ceremonies). ...there is something very comfortable about christianity but just give it time, it'll fail him...i have studied multiple denominations of protestant christianity, catholicisim, jehovas witnesses, mormons, jewdism and read the greek and hebrew manuscripts of the bible...and even the books that were deemed unfit for cannon by the cathoilic church...its a big confusing ball of unnecessary symbolism...that guy has clearly had some kind of special experience but he's mistaking the content for the structure He needs to recognise that his awareness needs to be placed on perception itself as opposed to the shapes they adopt...and that god is linked to his direct qualia. To love something means that there are no barriers of distinction between you and that thing...such that you are that thing...therefore its completely accurate to say that i love jesus christ ...or at least thats my current thesis lol

My friend struggles with social anxiety and likes the shelter that night game provides with increased levs of social acceptance around striking up conversation with randomers casually ... But yo, which one is more efficient my self improvement cult brothers?

You can get stimants and SSRI's from doc. ADHD is very misunderstood in mainstream culture...I reckon it's super common, quite difficult to work with, each ADHD brain can be different. People with ADHD are also more susceptible to other mental disorders like BPD, GAD, SAD etc. Just be careful with psychedelics and other drugs of your on medicine. At the end of the day, you need to be able to function...and medicines like SSRI's can improve concentration, focus, consistency and motivation. Also if you can gain power over it, you'll actually have a supermind after...in some instances

I heard a story of a man who seen a small butterfly trying to break out of its cocoon...his intentions were good, but when he cut open the butterfly's cocoon to release it, it couldn't fly...and died. It needed the struggle of pushing through its cocoon to develop adequate strength to survive in the real world. It's a nice little analogy

Don't need to make any drastic decisions...start some creative stuff while working. Leo's LPC is good, with some very good points...death is a good motivator. Your about 30? You'll probably have health and energy till about 65 so you only have about 35 years left and in 65 years from now your Gona die, and that's it...forever. so might as well live to the fullest

I've found the fear is harder to deal with if you haven't got lots of pussy and money first

Have you ever been talking with someone who is clearly wrong...and you can see that they are wrong but they whole heartedly think they're right...and you can see that its not your ego trying to win, but an authentic observation that the person is simply objectively wrong or in some way delusional, or warped by their own mind... I have been noticing this more and more as I'm starting to see the corruption of humanity and the corrupt nature of knowledge...and how easily it warps and changes like a game of Chinese whispers played in a hurricane. But the real challenge is ballancing that with the knowledge that its basically guaranteed that i am deluding myself in some ways about life also. I know this because i remember being one of those people who were completely deluded and brainwashed before and if i couldve been that self-deceived before, how do i know that im not deceiving myself right now in just as much a powerful way....i remember how vehemently i rejected any opposing information, i would never EVER crack...and yet i was completely and utterly wrong and deluded. My problem lies here...i have grown in my awareness of the trappings of the mind, as a result i can see the delusions that other people are in, while i know that i probably have a plethora of self deception mechanisms myself, i know just from direct experience and can sense through simple awareness, the delusions of others...and these "others" can be quite damaging to myself and people who i care about. I know theoretically that even the belief that there are others than myself is already a self-deception at a very deep (or shallow) level...but in terms of where im at in life, how the fuck do i deal with people like this...also for people who have significantly developed their consciousness...how do you deal with gradually becoming more conscious and isolated in your correctness...its gotta feel like your the only sane person and all others are just monkeys twisting reality in an emotionally reactive way out of sheer ignorance?

Any weakness will be turned advantageously into the greatest strength by one who is in adequate alignment with the source of all power

. Damnit wrong one lol. This one:

I love the last video where Leo sort of leaves his teacher frame in a meta style

Leo is the GOAT boi

The blue in me loves Tate, lol. I can feel it, a need for strong masculine figures to raise their middle fingers to the face of political correctness. To re-establish the truth that lots and lots of feminism is extremely toxic. This is, of course, only part of the systematic outplay that must occur to allow the greater thing to happen, a gradual stabilisation of gender equality...as the pendulum swings to each pole slightly less each swing before finally resting somewhat in the fair..middle way

its unfortunate that masculinity has been so heavily scrutinized that young incel types have to fall back on extremist masculine mentors and role models like señor Tate to do something to respond to societies rejection of a very real part of reality...healthy masculinity, certain versions of extremist feminism call any kind of masculinity "toxic masculinity", it'll get a backlash eventually.

^ Dude. Stop taking addictive drugs regularly. For real. Weed fucks your head up so much it's unbelievable. For young people this is amplified

I think pace is very important. Not necessarily fast pace or slow pace, but the understanding that pace matters and that you should try to Intuit what pace best suits your situation. Also being able to distinguish between good pain and bad pain (like at the gym) is good for identifying if your pace of growth should remain the same, increase, or decrease. Too much growth too fast will lead to breakage or overexertion. But a lot of the time we can go faster than we imagine. Often time pain makes us grow faster for some reason. Possibly because it ignites the flame of desire for healing. Going too slow is a bigger problem than going too fast in my opinion...imagine sitting for 50 years doing vipassana and never having an awakening...when you could have just devoted 5-10 years becoming strong enough to get comfortable with 5meo and having more powerful awakenings you could ever achieve. But if, at any point, "faster growth" starts to replace "consistent growth" rethink your strategy. Consistency and rhythm are very powerful weapons

@2ndComing second coming haha, nice 12th post

You know, for a long time being raised Christian I struggled with the grace of God and how it worked with the idea of "being a good person" (otherwise known as good works). For a long time after I started to see that good works would get me very little with god in reality, i kind of gave up on moral living altogether and just lived like that. This was unintentional, but I sort of just let it continue and never really returned to why selflessness is better than selfish living... Why be good? Why be positive? Why live in a selfless fashion...? I was watching Leo's "Zen devil part 1" video and a big insight hit me and I realized that I need to contemplate it more, so here's my insight from about a decade of study from the Christian perspective and from the new-age nondual perspective...I feel like my fervent history in both practices gives me a unique vantage point on the matter...let me know your thoughts if you wish... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ultimately, you'll discover that enlightenment isint realistically attainable by simply moralizing or being a moral individual...and that moralizing can actually become very religiously dogmatic and a distraction to true self enquiry and realization. Subsequently the question arises..."Why be good at all?" The answer is: you don't have to be...but true transformational enlightenment will fill you with love for everyone and everything and (importantly) the way in which you can differentiate between ("do it because i know i should") [what could be called] "shallow selflessness" and "true selflessness"...is the source from which it flows, and that true selflessness flows automatically. Imagine an outdoor, brick wall that was built without cement, and was instead supported with wooden stands and support beams...because of the lack of cement available, the wall would easily fall over without the manual wooden supports, but after a while the wall will have been there for so long that the algae, ivy, rainfall and natural elements of the environment will have pressed down on, and grown around the bricks so much that the wall fuses together to the point where it can stand on its own and support itself automatically, and where the manual wooden stands are no longer required and can be removed without fear of the walls collapse. In this metaphorical picture... The walls stability, is Selflessness, The lack of cement, is Natural Immaturity, The wooden support beams, are the Manually Cultivated Habits/Outlets for Selflessness, …and the natural elements are Gods nature (which is also our true nature). It would be a major mistake to fail to recognize that, while true stable selflessness flows automatically from deep a transformation (being exposed to God), the *process* of transformation itself is most definitely not as automatic and often requires manual effort and strong support initially. Therefore it is not a bad thing to seek outlets for selflessness and to manually guide yourself to engage in those selfless habits [knowing the benefits that come with selflessness] because, before long, these habits, outlets and principals will begin to sustain and support themselves simply because it will literally start to feel amazing in contrast to the selfish alternative. Boiled right down, the insight is this: False Selflessness = Forcing yourself *into* selfless shapes. True Selflessness = Relaxing into alignment with, and flowing with the natural shape of your selfless nature that exists authentically and effortlessly within. The key supplementary insight here is recognizing that the thing that governs whether your selflessness is true or false, is the source from which it flows and rather than doing it because someone told you to...relaxing, flowing with and submitting to the selfless nature that *already* exists within...and seeing that some [or even a lot of] manual support and rearrangement of your values, actions and core principals and submitting to your selfless inner nature is different than forcing yourself into repetitive "good works"...that some manual guidance into selfless actions is healthy because it will eventually stimulate and cultivate a bliss and peace that will sustain the selfless way of life and eventually become more and more effortless. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@Gabith I honestly don't know mate your situation will be unique and different to mine...but one thing I can tell you is, you can beat it if you have an attitude of unlimited determination, flexibility, intelligence and power. You can blitz the thing. Hit it at multiple angles at the same time. - psychiatrist - support groups (secular and religious) - addiction supports - start doing game and lifting weights. - master porn and jerking off addiction. Become someone with an unbeatable spirit that is infinitely self reflective, adaptable and powerful. Surround yourself with the right people. But ultimately you are the only one who can get yourself out of the hole.
