This might sound slightly ranty but some of y’all spend way too much time on this forum! This may come off judgmental and brash but y’all need to get a life, for real. I’m sorry someone has to say it. I feel like this forum is getting very much like an echo chamber but with lots of delusional ego. An echo/ego chamber lol. So much bullshit and projections is hard to watch. We need to be careful on here because some people are lurking around looking for genuine help are getting horrible advice from these mega commenters. Listen, you don’t know everything, you don’t have to comment on every single thing you think you know. You don’t have to flex your consciousness on us. Just stop. It’s like a high consciousness version of trolling. Get outside and put your phones and computers away, fuck! Maybe this is why you’re so miserable is because you’re stuck on your electronics all day wasting your life. Ok that def was a full blown rant sorry ? I do love you guys and this feels more like a tough love things but seriously. Forum addiction is a real thing. Y’all need to chill

Ok maybe this isn’t a good idea. I just remembered after watching the HBO documentary on QAnon. This is exactly how they have there forums set up lol! I guess what happened is the mods just funnel the bullshit up to top and blindly believe (because so many people “agree”) what they are seeing is truth ? Sneaky

@Epikur @Proserpina I personally think a better idea would be to simply remove the comment count under users profile picture. But the very best idea is a voting system. If someone likes your comment and it was helpful you give them an ♾ point (?) Leo and mods can also flag best comments for us to notice maybe. Just a simple red dot ? will do the trick. Also meditation isn’t necessary a good indicator of your level of integrity. And that’s what we’re are talking about here. Mediation may “show” us how inauthentic and out of integrity we are, but personal development is how we actually make changes. Taking action. All I see is thoughts, ideas and theories on here and almost nobody has direct experience of any of it. Just a Leo parrot, YouTube/internet junky with some intelligence, good memory retention and a lot of spare time.

@Carl-Richard I can see how you could assume this but what if the opposite was true? What if I spend lots of time outside enjoying life and am already living in my life purpose? Would that mean my concerns are more valid?

@Epikur hehe it’s not that much of a lie. I do meditate 60 min a day and workout 60min a day (I’m a personal trainer)

@dflores321 haha ?? It’s not me I’m worried about. The bullshittery is obvious to me. But like I said, noobs and people without a strong sense of intuition are going to get confused and frustrated from the keyboard warriors. Obviously we can’t really do anything about it but I hope enough people on here see this and just take comments on here with a grain of salt and realize that egos and projection run rampant on forums. Just be careful is all I’m saying. There is a good handful of users on the forum that have thousands of comments on here that have serious psychological issues. I’m not an expert on the subject or anything but I do have a degree in psychology ... ?‍♂️

@Leo Gura ? I was always curious your take on the vaccine and if your were getting it. I wrestled with the idea for many weeks before I pulled the trigger. I get my second dose (Pfizer) tonight. The biggest thing holding me back was this thought: The vaccine doesn’t necessarily prevent you from getting COVID, but there’s a 99% chance you won’t get serious symptoms and end up in the hospital. Me being extremely healthy, physically fit and having a very strong immune system (haven’t been sick or fever in over a decade, no allergies (live in allergy capital of the US), never had flu (never had flu shot either) I figured I would be fine even if I caught it. So why put some new vaccine in me when I’ll good? Did anything besides your health hold you back this long?

@Inva ?

@Tim R I wear my mala wrapped around my wrist as a reminder to bring myself back to the present moment and connect with my breathe. Every time I see it I re-center. I’m doing it anywhere from 10-50 times a day. But for meditation I prefer to be completely still as to disconnect from the “body”. The body disappears when you’re not aware of it. The body is the first thing to go (in meditation) followed by thoughts and then you get nothing. Nothing is the SHIT!

@Tim R you’re an amazing person ? Action is what defines us! I’d like to think I’d do the same thing but my only hesitation would be COVID.

@Preety_India how do you know they’re effective if you don’t even have one?

Dude come on, this is ridiculous When you die you’ll finally see how foolish this is. Dislike and hate are low consciousness ego/mind traits. You haven’t yet realized for yourself how consciousness works. Specifically in this case; you’re failing to see that at higher levels of consciousness things like hate and dislike are clearly identified as ego and disregarded. Grounded in the wisdom that; everyone is working from their own level of consciousness, 99% have no control and will never change, and you’re not perfect either (you never will be). All you have to do is accept that (fully) to stop judging.

@Nomad13 tempt fate how? Like in the future we could resurrect you? But it would “only” work if your organs were all there? Lol ? I’ve always been an organ donor but especially now after SA work I see the benefits and humor in “our” bodies.

What if you can do drugs and handle your shit? That cool?

@SQAAD it’s just a word game. I’m curious why it matters to you?

Y’all! I’ve been down in a rut for weeks and I just started coming out of it Monday. This evening while in the shower I was soaping up and scrubbing this and that and for no reason I started laughing hysterically out loud. Like a lightning bolt insight hit me out of nowhere that life was simply hilarious! My body was a joke! My thoughts we laughable! I couldn’t control the gigantic smile on my face. If my gf were to walk in on me I bet she would have thought I was insane, tripping or high on something, lol. Only lasted 2 minutes or so but wow! It was in pure bliss. Anyway, wanted to share. Love y’all bye bye ❤️

@ivankiss this is fantastic man. I enjoyed reading through these. Strong wisdom here

This movie was really great and perfectly portrays Leo’s episode on ‘How to raise rockstar kicks.’ This is by far the highest level of consciousness in a movie I’ve ever seen. If you’re on the actualizing journey and moving up the ladder this movie will resonate big time. Check it out

@Someone here Do you have direct experience of this? Because it’s completely false. SA will not cure your addictions or prevent you from having any. Not only did Leo mention this I’ve also experienced it directly for myself. You can have addictions and be fully aware of them. Any addicts out there reading this please don’t give up on this work because you think it’s not possible to self actualize. In addition if you’re an addict please don’t think this work will cure you of addictions!

Look, I try really fucking hard. I have my problems and addictions but I have true intention. I’m putting in everything I’ve got into this work (consciousness and personal development) and making transformative changes. But this shit is fucking brutal! I mean absolutely gut wrenching. The ups and downs, the constant battle with my ego, questioning fucking everything constantly! I don’t think I can hold on much longer I’m starting to break. There’s a voice screaming inside saying “shut the fuck up! This is insane, you’re insane! Why can’t you stop!” I feel like I’m going crazy! But I also think I’m exactly where I need to be and something big is coming. In conclusion this shit sucks. I hate all of you and goodnight ?

@Leo Gura ya you may be right. I need to take some time off and rest. Then check in with myself and see if what you’re saying is true. My life is fairly easy as it is (I work for myself and only 25/hrs a week, no kids, no wife, low stress) so I don’t feel like I’m stressed or in the rat race. Just existentially exhausted. I don’t feel like the work I’m doing here is too much necessary, it’s more the outcome of the work that’s difficult. I love meditating, reading, contemplating and all that but you hit a certain point where you have enough awareness to cut through all bullshit. This is where life get tricky because now it’s all out there right in front of you and you either act or react. Both bring about suffering. It’s all good though and I’m going to allow myself to be more patient. I have noticed lately after meditation and breath work that I’m energetically drained. That tells me I’m either in sloth and torpor or who knows? I dunno this is all so confusing and paradoxical. Either way, I think it’s time to pull back. Thanks for the help Leo

@Surfingthewave thank you. I took down some notes from your replies and I will keep working on this. Or not working on this ?

@IAmPaulQuinn just wanted to say how lucky you are to have found interest in this work at such a young age. I was 29 when I started getting my shit together.
