@Sven I know, but then I would get wikipedia's explanation. Not that I don't trust it, it's just not the explanation I want. I want to see the effect he has on people on this forum. If people are familiar with him, if there is anyone who actually loves him and would love to give me an insight. Not an objective explanation of the guy's work and life history.

@Joseph Maynor My man I just started my journey. I don't know how far I am. I don't know if there are important things I have to master. I just started. The reason why I want to read books is because they can guide me. @K VIL By what? @Hellspeed Nice inspiration. What would it be a shame if it didn't contain any useful advice. Oh wait...

Hello everyone. Today I wanted to ask the following question: Are there any spiritual technics related with liquid water? In any kind? I am just curious about water, if it plays any role in spirituality. Can it be combined with things like meditation? I have to admit I love water. Since going to gym, I realized how much I love it. Now I want to know if there are actually technics with water.

Hello everyone. I don't know for sure if this is the right place to talk about my situation, but I think it does need to be adressed somewhere on this forum. I talk to myself. I just discovered that it isn't something people do and that it creeps them out. I also only recently noticed it at all. My sister woke up because I was talking to myself while coming upstairs. Is there anyone who knows something about this? I looked on the internet and all I could find were ''talking to yourself isn't crazy'' kind of articles. I don't even know if I should agree with that statement.

Hello everyone. After coming back from the library, I wonderd what yoga is (I saw some books about the topic) All I know is that people stretch and that they do it to seem younger. I know that people do it in groups (stage Green) and for personal experience (stage Turquoise). I am not sure if the last one is stage Turquoise. So please, anyone who has experience with it, explain me why people do it. Why it has any kind of relation with the inner self. Isn't it just stretching a little bit? It does seem for me. I only started meditating in september, just got introduced to books and have done only 1 session of shamanic breathing. I am very curious about what yoga has to offer.

@Mu_ I read daily. I don't know why, but there was something with ''learning everyday''. By reading books daily, I learn new things on a new basis.

@Mu_ 14 years old. Overall I want to find my life purpose by reading in many different subjects. Right now I am focussing on beneficial books for teens. I want to have the advantage in my life which many people, even on this forum, don't have because all they did was gaming in their teens years. Instead of reading books and building up knowledge, they ''wasted'' their time as Leo put it. @VictorB02 I guess that's true. Thanks for the advice. @Hellspeed Leo says in some of his video's that the fact that people often ignore books is a form of ignorance and that everyone should read books. You are saying that I shouldn't focus too much on them. I don't know what to do.

@YaNanNallari I can relate to this for most of the time. I think a lot, looking from outside perspectives is something I have only recently been doing. The lonely party I can relate to when I was a bit younger than now. Jeez what was I a good buddy to myself

@seeking_brilliance You are not alone my friend, I caught myself doing it too many times

@sarapr Thanks for the explanation

Hello everyone. I wanted to ask a question for those who are all in for NoFap. I am very young and wonder if anyone would advise me to really get into it. Whenever I read about masturbating regurlarly, all I could see were people who said it was natural. Because I am young I am full of hormones and I can't surpress it. I tried quitting, kept getting back on it after a few weeks.

Hello everyone. I will start by saying that I always admired spirituality, just a month ago I started meditating and I wondered: Should I try psychedelics? I am a teen, so I need some insights first of course. All I know is that 5-MeO-DMT is good. I asked the typical drug dealer if he has LSD or paddo's, but negative. There might be some LSD in the business, but paddo's are 100% negative. My friend suggested that I should start smoking weed first if I want to get into heavy drugs, but I don't want cancer so that's a no (I don't know if weed causes cancer but I know that it is unhealthy). Would you guys advice me trying 5-MeO-DMT if I am really interested? And does anyone know other good alternatives, or in general good drugs for spirituality? As I said, I am very young. I don't know much about non-duality or things like that. In fact, I still don't understand the definiton of non-duality. Same with enlightenment, spirituality as a whole etc. I know that if I want to go deeper I should read books about it, but right now I am reading the typical basic self-help books for beginners/teens. Books like ''Mastery'' and ''The Six-Pillars of Self-Esteem'' where I don't understand most of the words because they are made for adults.

Hello there everyone. Lets start off by saying that I am very young. Just got out of stage Blue I think and am ready. There is a girl in a higher grade than me. I think I know her from way back, when I was around 8 years old and did judo. I remember that she was hearing impaired on one ear. I know I can start a conversation about all of this if I confront her correctly. But that is the thing, how am I supposed to approach someone who is from a higher grade than me? My school schedule is different than hers, so we can't talk during the breaks. I gave up on girls in my own grade because all of the sudden all my crushes date someone. I lost interest in them because it got boring to watch from the side. They somehow also got less attractive, but I guess that is my eyes opening. Since I started my journey here, I already bought some self-help books. If you guys know any good dating books for young teens, don't be afraid to leave recommendations

@How to be wise You might want to look up those posts if you want an answer for your question.

Hello there everyone. I am still new to this forum and the YouTube channel, so I finished sharmanic breathing yesterday. Nice experience I have to admit, but I do have a few questions: Leo said that the chances of deep emotions coming up was high if you did sharmanic breathing. All I got was laughter. I felt weird, but I guess great during and after the breathing. I still have a little of the feeling in my chest. I wondered if it's oke to do it more frequently if you are just starting. I will watch the ''The Dark Side Of Meditation'' video, but I don't think it will matter. From Leo's small resume, both meditation and this can bring up hidden emotions/traumas. It turns out I probably don't have any. Or else I might have felt it during the breathing. Oh and what schedule would you advice for me? I am just curious about all the types of schedules people will recommend.

@SFRL My man I am not getting any pussy. Remember that I am a teen. On monday, wednesday and friday I have to go to fitness after school. On the other days I have to study for the upcoming tests. I might try Thursday.

@deci belle Ahahaha I am sorry!! Thanks for the recommendations, I will definitely follow up on your advice. It sounds good.

@aurum That actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks. @universe You want me to wait 45 mins everyday after my day at school has ended? I don't understand your advice. Or do you mean wait until she randomly occurs later in my life? I don't understand ''in the long grass''.

@How to be wise I read posts about recommendations to buy the booklist if you were a teen. Most people disagreed and said it would just be to much for a teen. Guess what? I am a teen. I will just stick around with my own booklist, it already exists of 32 books so I am good for now.

@CreamCat I think you can understand that I can't just have sex right now. I will go with trying to minimize it to once per week.

@SFRL I don't think you understand the problem. I know what I can say to her. The problem is that I am insecure about the way of approach. She is in a higher grade than me. What does that mean you ask? She has a very different schedule than mine. Her breaks are different. We don't even walk through the halls of school for most of the time, because even her classes start and end different from mine. How am I supposed to approach someone who I barely can talk to during schooltime? My friend from even another grade higher, suggested that I should try finding any social media accounts and contact her from there. I am still struggling with finding any. Alternative solutions are needed and certainly welcome.

@SFRL I am gonna need to stop you right there and tell you that I haven't even been able to talk to her in the first place. My guy, I understand your enthousiasm. But we are kids. I may be able to do what you are suggesting, if I am really close to a relationship with her. About that deaf situation. I didn't want to make her a victim, I wanted to apply to her in our first conversation that I knew who she was. By remembering that one ear is deaf.

@Arman Wauw thanks for the story, I in fact thought that I had a golden ticket by being early. After reading the posts on this topic I don't think it in that way anymore. ''You can make 100x more progress by simply making a commitment to forgive yourself and other for errors'' but that is exactly what I am doing! That's why I wondered about psychedelics. So many things which people need to do, I already have done. I learnt from Islam, religion I am raised up with (and technically still being raised up with, besides that I am trying to leave it), that forgiveness = key. Yes I am familiar with Photoshop, but not animating or web design. Rather than that I am good with Premiere Pro. Video editing in general is something which I am good at. Every school project where we have to make a video, I offer up free time to edit in exchange of my team deciding what the context of the video will be/acting in it. Again this is what I mean. I have integrity, if we are looking it from your definition. Same with so many other things I have read in only my first 2 self-help books. One was specifically for teens, where I had almost 3 quarters already mastered. Second one is the populair ''Th Six Pillars of Self-Esteem''. I haven't read the whole book yet (still reading it), but so many things I can already relate to.

@aurum So you have any advice on how to approach that girl who is one grade higher than me?

@aurum Have done that with one guy who is new in my class. He is basically friended with the cutest girl of my grade. I don't want to start a serious relationship. But Leo said in his ''Advice For High School & College Students - The Keys To Mastering Life'' that a student should at least have 5 girlfriends during his study time. He/she has to know what kind of girls/boys are out there. Since I got out of stage Blue I decided that I wanted to try that.
