As long as you don't become a zen devil and don't misuse your mind, I think it's all right. Maybe stage green is a good indicator in my opinion

@Anton Rogachevski Let go of intention and narcissism

Hm... interesting to see other people with this problem I used to be incredibly needy for love, but now when I'm not, pretty girls are hitting on me, but I don't feel like I need them in my life. Even though the date goes well, we have similar hobbies, sense of humor, she is pretty and smart... I don't feel anything. I'm 15, but it's kind of weird, because other people in my age are like exploring their sexuality, but I'm kind of stagnating with it hahaha.

Oh, I also meant that, maybe I should've put it into quotation marks... But I think that sounds mean too, because it's just not his reality. You're like the top best package for him (if he is a needy guy) and he doesn't see any better you know. Thanks <3 You sound awesome as well

There are many good metaphors for life in the Bible

@Joshuas Hey buddy! I will give you advice in the areas of life that I feel like I know. That means that I won't be advising you about relationships, because I am a single teenager, who has dated like 1 girl Your days lack structure: Get a regular sleep schedule of 7 to 8 hours of sleep. This will help you tremendously, trust me. Then say to yourself: what are the things that I really have to do? (school, sleeping, eating maybe you have some more) Then go from the last thing (for example: going to sleep, 10 pm) and ask yourself what do you want to do. For example: I go to sleep at 10 pm, so I have to stop doing all the other things at 9 pm, so I can stretch, read, meditate, take a shower... (have a solid morning/evening routine like this) Always work on one thing at a time (you are probably trying to fix too many things and that's why you get slapped), but never miss a day, it's your new mandatory thing. You can write something like: I will meditate and stick it on your door. You aren't satisfied with your friends: I struggled with this as well, my friends started so drink, smoke, party etc... and I didn't like it. I never drank or smoked, but I still went to parties. Honestly, it felt meh, so now I feel like not going there. Maybe you feel like that also with your friends, but you are affraid to just leave the group or spend a lot more time in it - go for it. I don't think that people are gonna care that much, and if they do, they probably aren't good friends. Instead, ask other people here on forum, chat them up, start new hobbies to meet new people... Having more developed older friends can benefit you so much, because they have maybe went through the problems that are bothering you and they can offer you some help. Also, watch Leo's video on death contemplation and DO THE EXERCISE to find out, how serious are you really about improving your life? You might even hape like a mystical experience or feel really uncomfortable, but it's a very effective method

@LoveandPurpose Get on nofap asap, there has been nothing that has helped me so much with anxiety. From the beginning you will feel like a god, then it will kind of slow down, but still it's worth it, there is so much creative energy that you are wasting. Nowadays I feel like this sense of awe in my stomach and it's just amazing, you can channel that energy to do so many things. You are wasting your life if you are still fapping man Also, you brain is programmed to do these short term „investments“, that suck in the long run. I do this and after it I feel more open, compassionate and loving. There is a big freaking difference in my mood when I don't practice this. Don't expect this to be easy, it takes time to build a good life, but it's worth it. It's like a rowing race, you have to be precise and powerful, but also consistent.

@Peo Do you do the work or are you just asking questions?

@LoveandPurpose I see, presence works in any situation What about activating fourth chakra, it always helps me Also, are you on nofap?

You guys seem to know him better than I do Good to learn something new

@LoveandPurpose Are they your friends?

+1. You will have to try really hard to make it work. Many people will call you weirdo afterwards Not that you should care, just be prepared.

@Richard Alpert Just don't get seduced by stupidity and take the good stuff Why not? Leo also isn't infallible, yet people follow him. Do they start doing the same mistakes as him, just because they watch the videos? Maybe, if they are dumb or not experienced enough to see them.

@BIggleswerth Post a picture of the I that is being confused

@Leo Gura By watching his videos I began to understand this „me being a story“ more and how „me achieving satori“ is bullshit. That's why I share this content, because many people, who have just started their journey might be wondering. Of course this is all ultimately bs

@Richard Alpert I am a person who can make any teaching valid, if I simply extract some of the information. There is no black and white, no perfect person.

@Richard Alpert Are you waiting for another person to question things for you?

@Emerald Sure, I misunderstood you there, sorry.

@LoveandPurpose Well, the mental development is different. I assume you know your class mates, so... Also be careful about your ego, don't try to look superior to them, be playful, funny, give good metaphors... That applies to every age group.

@Annoynymous Sorry, I was too cold, I admit. However, you are also making projections about me. I actually watch Teal's content, it's just that I think that we shouldn't stop questioning. I'm not here to feel good about myself, but I also don't want to be defensive. I think Seed has showed us the good side of her, but still we need to be able to see the flaws of her teachings. My view is, that she uses the information she has about anxious and suicidal people to treat emotionally healthy people and this creates problems. I would act differently if this wasn't a self-help forum and we weren't serious about growth and objectivity. By the way, I feel like we should create threads where we investigate all the different teachers, as many newbies idealize Leo, Osho, Sadhguru... they are incredible, but still we cannot just bow to them.

@LoveandPurpose It also depends on your age, if you are first year of high school like me, your approach should probably be different, than if you were graduating, at least if you want to succeed Also be aware of their level of development on the Spiral, it can certainly help. Don't expect, that an orange person will trust some yellow/turquoise information, not even green sometimes.

@Seed What I'm saying isn't just being skeptical about some article, I like to take the best out of every teacher I listen to. But when someone has thousands of followers and is in power, we need to question them especially carefully. I actually think that some Teal's insights are awesome and certainly valid, JUST AS ANY OTHER TEACHER'S. Every teacher is trying their best, but we cannot just become blind to them like this, just because they had childhood traumas. @Annoynymous You can learn literally from anyone, if you resonate with the things she is saying and they work for you, go for it, sure. But you always need to double-check, even triple-check. Watch yourself acting like what you call devil, you are just running away from problems instead of facing them and questioning your beliefs.

@Emerald It feels like you are idealizing her teachings, it's quite obvious about you. Why do you always say, that she is direct about her egocentric motivations, does that justify her? As Leo says, it will do more harm than good in the end, to her and us. I mean, just not trying to question these motivations, letting them flow through you, OF COURSE it feels good and relieving, but it cannot go that far. Doing whatever you like isn't the highest freedom. @pluto If everyone could move physical objects through mind, there would be no freedom, rules are very important. Are you grateful for the fact, that you can be walking on a solid ground or swimming in a waveless water, without it killing you? What's the use of such abilities?

Hope it works for him

@Serotoninluv These terms get misused even on this forum, there is no way they will use it correctly after on speech, I don't think many of them will be interested, but maybe 1 or 2 might start researching
