This one was awesome

Is it possible to convey all the stages of spiral dynamics at once? I mean is there a limit to the amount of stages one can convey?

If metaphysical beliefs can affect physical reality then what's actually the difference? Also, from a nondual perspective all such distinctions must collapse.

I would do subliminals if I was you. You can easily find a confidence subliminal on youtube. The law of attraction is so powerful that I listened to a bigger dick subliminal and it fucking worked in less than a week. It's crazy what the mind is capable of.

I'm really fascinated by physics, mathematics, astornomy and I was wondering if there were any physicsists or maybe even mathematicians who were more spirally developed and open to an anti-realist view. I know that the fathers of quantum mechanics were post-ratonal and its incredible to read their work, but I was wondering if there were any modern physicists that espouse this grasp of the universe to some degree.

What stage do you reckon he's at?

What about brian cox and michio kaku? I think they're pretty awesome but I think the're just stage orange.

How is the animal mind able to compute universal consciousness? If you say that the human ego has evaporated, then judging by the brain processess occurring during a breakthrough experience of universal consciousness then the brain is obviously still activated. Now the brain is an apparatus which constitutes animal consciousness which is why it has evolved in such a way to help process the phenomenological field and develop specific faculties, to promote its survival. So how the fuck is it able to deal with universal consciousness without exploding or at least taking some damage? Judging by the law of nonduality where all distinctions collapse, is human consciousness actually just a subset of universal consciousness. Is human consciouses only realized into universal consciousness by the transcendence of being human. Or is it that the egoic ownership of one's consciousness dissolves in such a way that it is able to free float and permeate through an infinite field of exploration resulting in universal consciousness.

Spiral Dynamics

The last few days I've been getting up at 4 am, so I could jounral on the beach alone, it's really nice because I get to bask in nature unpeturbed by human business. I thought I could meditate in the mornings as well but I don't really know how to do it outside without looking weird. I know I shouldn't care about that but I do, maybe I'll get over it once I become more conscious. Would I just sit normally on a bench and focus on being mindful, shouldn't I have a straight spine though. I have a meditation cushion so would I use that. What's ideal?

you know what man your right I don't give a shit Imma do what I need to do thanks

I'm 15 and I've been trying to do self-actualization work for a long time now and Iv'e failed and kept falling back into my toxic ways over and over again to the point where I'm becoming a little depressed. I lack motivation. I thought maybe its best to focus on my vision rather than the results, try and connect with my authentic self. I thought a retreat would be nice, but I can't really go out on my own because i'm so young. This is the best time to do it for me because school is over so I have time to self-reflect. How can I set up a retreat at home so my family won't get worried, and so I can connect with my higher self? What questions should I ask and how long should I contemplate it for?

I'm quite young (15), and I tried doing a meditation on being more loving, and it told me to visualize a time when I felt love. I tried doing it and failed. It was sad that I couldn't reflect on anything in my life that I actually loved. I never had a girlfriend, of course I like music, but Iv'e never really thought about in a loving way, and I love my family but that sort of love acclimates over time. I love myself on a superficial level for the fact I'm proud of myself, and I can sometimes preen over my physical experience since I go to the gym. The truth is, I can't remember a time where I was loved or felt love for anything. I could be the fact that I'm only 15 because I'm not closed off to it. In fact, I got really upset when I realized how much I lack love in my life. Any suggestions?

For example, does a highly enlightened person feel grief after someone close to them has died? Are they actually uncondtionally happy, or in denial about how they actually feel? Can you still feel grief and stay happy? So the more enlightened the more insanely happy you become lol. It seems incomprehensible that you could stay smiling in such a travesty.

@Shadowraix idk it seems too detached

Sometimes I get angry when I watch him then I rememeber to practice uncontional love so I just laugh and see the beauty

Just for the record, I'm only 15 and I've barely meditated. I've only began to take it seriously for the last week or so. I recently watched Leo's video on strong determination sitting and I decided to give it a shot This was two days ago by the way. Surprisingly, I stayed motionless for the entire hour with not much complaint, but during it I experienced something terrifyingly beautiful. Basically, as I was sitting there I began to become very mindful of the present moment, and become conscious of its mysterious, uncanny nature. I just felt right into it (my eyes were closed) with no ideas or judgments. Then, something weird happened. Everything became silent, even though there was outside noise, and I felt this indescribable, empty void consume me. My heart was racing, and my breath was stifled as If I was in ice cold water. I tried to surrender to it, as Leo said, even though it felt like I was dying and entering some unlocalized emptiness. My body felt like an energetic, feeling of wholeness beginning to evaporate. The funny thing is I was doing this while I could hear my mum and dad laughing at the tv. I tried to surrender to it my mind ran rampant and slowly tethered me back to reality. I felt the only thing that seperated me from this void was my thoughts. When the hour ended, I went to sleep with my mouth agape in shock and confusion, and if it was some sort enlightenment experience it was nothing of what I thought it would be. I look back on it still shocked from the fact it happened. I even told my friends on a PS4 party for some odd reason, but obviously they thought it was some crazy, hippy shit. I assume it takes people a lot longer than a week to experience what I experienced. I don't really know how to interpret it and what I should do now. Any suggestions?

Basically, I'm conflicted with two ideas and I don't know how to reconciile them,. I'm quite young (15) and Iv'e had a glimpse of enlightenment, and I educate myself habitually, and self-improve daily, so I want to become a massive wisdom provider & a leader in that sense. However, before I got into self-actualization work I was really into music, and played piano, and remixed songs in creative ways and I still do that now to a certain extent, (and I don't want to let go of that. So the question is how do I become a wisdom provider while honouring my value of music? They seem quite far apart!

@benmitchell2812 quite insightful my man, it's cool you were able to start at 13, I think the biggest obstacle I faced is the fact I learned about this self-actualization work at 14 but did nothing for a whole year, which creates a victim narrative; however, I think Iv'e gotten over that and I'm properly doing the practices, and not being too harsh on myself as I always was.

@Yahya So you got lucky like me, exploring this world of self-improvement so young. Where do you live bro?

I just watched Leo's old video about addictions and subtle addictions and it got me to wonder. Although he didn't say music was an addiction I can assume it can be as it's just a form of distraction. Just for context, I enjoy meditating, contemplating and self-actualizing, etc. However, I constantly listen to music. I'm like baby driver lol. I only listen to music by myself, but It's one of my main sources of happiness, especially if it's a pogo song, and I'm walking outside by myself. I feel like the more I meditate the more I enjoy the music I listen to. Am I developing an addiction? The thing is I don't think music is a bad thing. If I feel bad, instead of turning to drugs or food, I turn to music, and If feel amazing then I use music to amplify it. The only time I don't listen to music is when I meditate, properly contemplate, talk to friends & family (most of the time), sleep, or watch youtube. In addition to this I play piano, guitar & sing. I'm not too concerned with it I just wanna see what other people think. Is music a pernicious threat to the psyche, or is it another beautiful part of life? btw I'm listening to music while typing this

bmcnicho thank you

I'm only 15 and I think my life purpose is to become a musician; however, this idea feels conflicted with the higher ideals of self-actualization & spirituality. In a sense, my mind doubts music as an egoic & low conscious desire and that I should become a life coach or something. How can I pursue my dream of music, while inspiring people with the ideals of self-actualization & self-transcendence. Is it even possible? If it's not I don't know how I can abandon music. I feel I'm really talented and that since I'm so young I can really improve my musical ability. Any suggestions?
