For me, loving everything is just a feeling. It is not that conceptual, like: „Oh, I love this. Show me another thing to prove, that I love it. Oh, trashcans? I also love these!“ This is not real love imo. If you try to conceptualize it, it will bring you further away and the experience won't last as long.

@RawJudah On the eye contact and talking with people... Are you doing that authentically or just because you want to prove something to yourself/others? You can look others into their eyes to explore their soul, or to signal superiority. You can talk to others because Carnegie said so in his book, or because you genuinely want to help them, be interested in them. Think about that for a second.

Don't fall for hipocrisy, make sure to be a good example and do your best in your everyday life, while staying modest.

Oh my God

@NoSelfSelf It feels to me as if you were just simply parroting what Leo says in his videos without contemplating things on your own or having any serious spiritual breakthroughs or insights. Do you actually do the practices or are you just talk? Be honest to yourself about this.

@flowboy I mean, some people simply don't feel like banging 100 women in their lifetime, it's not a real goal for them. @RawJudah The guys that you named are some of the most humble people, who have ever lived. By striving to become like them, you will never become like them. (have a good life) You have to do many mistakes, fall for many traps to even come close to their wisdom. You cannot pretend real selflessness.

@Lynnel Yeh sure, thanks for advice I am more of a LoL person though.

@Lynnel That sounds like such over-generalizing, it kinda smells to me take look at everything as if it was some kind of manipulation, even though it is partically correct. I never called manipulation evil, I just tend to avoid people who need to manipulate others, being dishonest etc (in the harmful way) to fulfill their egoic needs. I admit, that what I said might have sounded a bit too moralistic, but telling someone, that they would LOVE manipulating others is just too much for me at least. I understand, that one has to truly want to be authentic, compassionate, honest... I think I am getting there, everytime I become too proud or jealous or whatever in some way, it really affects my mood and meditation practice in a negative way and it doesn't actually happen consciously, I had to talk about it with my friends many times already to actually spot the problem. Thanks for showing me the unhealthy blue in me though @flowboy I am 15 now and I do not feel like having sex yet. But I also don't think, that I have problems with talking to girls and stuff... Sometimes some negative emotion from the past comes to the surface, but then when I am around people, it feels amazing. One of the boys, that I am looking after in my scout group asked me today: Ben, you love girls, right? I laughed so hard

You can still be a happy person, while doing the dishes

Have you ever been controlled by someone? It sucks shit. You don't have to be that developed to spot toxic selfishness. Accept, that some people are compassionate. I believe that you can do pickup without manipulating.

@Shin

@Shin Oh I see, you are always a move ahead of me when it comes to business.

@CelticQueen17 Neediness for people is not extroversion. You can get rid of that, without being inauthentic. Just make sure, that you are expressing yourself honestly and fully and also that you are present and focused in the conversation.

@Shin How come you don't make more of them then? Have you also sold your wife?

@Pouya Yeh, sure, but not many people could shoot themselves in the head, because their brain is just an illusion

@Shin How old are your kids?

I agree with @Shiva, there are many misconceptions about freedom. Boundaries can give us freedom. Imagine two friends, one has a lot of money and the other one doesn't. The one, who has a lot of money, can easily binge on fast food, expensive goodies, stylish clothes and become addicted to all that, without ever thinking about it, while the other person is naturally in control of themselves. In this situation, it is a boundary. Of course, if you have knowledge and good intention, like Bill Gates for example, it can also be beneficial. Feeling can give us freedom. Imagine a businessman, who sees a poor person, who looks like a slave. He asks the person, whether he is free or not. The person describes their life and from the perspective of the businessman, it looks so empty, so he starts to think, that the person is not happy. But by the looks of things, the „slave“ is happy, just because they feel free and fulfilled and the businessman is not happy, because he is inside his own paradigm of lies.

@Tausif Ahmed I just wanted to say, that the „real world“ doesn't have any taste, colour, consistency etc... This is ALL created in our brains. The brain creates about 6 times more information that it accepts from the organs and creates models, which make everything non objective. Thus this arguments of yours doesn't make much sense. Everybody has different experiences, because everybody is different. If a person eats a nut, they just digest it, but another person, who is allergic, might die from eating it. Same with everything, it is all about the balance of the polar opposites, that compliment each other. Psychedelics are very tricky, I haven't tried them, maybe I never will, but make sure not to idealize them. If a person is not at their 100 % health, psychedelics might really hurt them and it is not like: Yeh, plug it into your ass, it all gets recontextualized, the substance is just one with the Universe blah blah... You would be causing violence by doing this. Also this what you see... Do you know why it exists, how it exists, whether it actually exists... etc? You don't know anything and you cannot describe anything that is happening here, if you simply let go of the mind and the language. It is truly a breath taking experience. I hope I showed you a new perspective by saying all this

I get you

@KyleR Who told you, that creative energy can only be used for ejaculation?

@Dumb Enlightened You can never embody it fully It is infinite.

For me, not many people are „Enlightened“. I put a big emphasis on this integration and embodiment part. If someone embodies the Truth terribly, I don't respect them for their „Enlightenment“, because they are just too proud and attached to it. Awakening on its own is useless in my opinion, it is just the starting line. It just gives you the opportunity for even greater amounts of growth. Being egotistical about Enlightenment is like having a car, that you never drive, or food, that you never eat.

@JohnnyBravo Dude, videos about development are very dangerous to produce, it is absolutely ok that someone feels like they don't have the knowledge. You have to take absolutely huge amount of responsibility there for what you're saying, as it can save OR fuck up people's lives. Also talking like this can stagnate your own growth and can lead to hypocrisy, narcissism, starting a cult.... I mean seriously, there aren't just the exceptions.

I honestly don't think, that Leo is gonna do a video on that one, but I think that the book is really important even for the people who think, that they have already passed what they call stage orange/green The trick is not to do the things written in the book because someone told you, but because you genuinely love people That is possible.

@thesmileyone There cannot be Oneness, if you add some thought to it.
