In my opinion self help is not helping. There are many problems that are not addressed and even get worse in self help, one of them is learned helplessness. We are in time that we google pretty much everything and even for big decisions in life and life purpose we go to youtube videos . That's makes it very hard to be self reliant and that by itself depletes self confidence (self confidence= i know and i can). There is a trend that started to go against self and Ego but They got it all wrong as there is no self and no ego to give away. Most of my generation act like kids even in the age of 30+ years old. I cut a lot of Self help and only kept a few. I will eliminating Leo as well because it has to come from within. Where ever you are if not comfortable think how can it be a little bit better and do anything you can to get there and repeat. Life meant to be lived .

@Serotoninluv it is still bunch of theories only for online forums and YouTube videos. It doesn’t effect the world as we know it. Unfortunately we have way too many existentialist and post existentialist or moralist that slow down our progress as species.

That's something only an existentialist will come up with, as functionalist i disagree with the view and find it absurd.

@CreamCat tribe trīb/ noun 1. a social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect, typically having a recognized leader. "indigenous Indian tribes" synonyms:ethnic group, people, band, nation; More

@CreamCat I am not really sure about the tribe as the old value system of Blood, land and God made a lot of troubles for our species. So many disasters under disguise of that. I would say focus on yourself and Family and Close friends and if you do that well only then you can be influential to bigger systems.

I don't really bother with Spiral dynamics. I don't see myself going anywhere after Green as long ago i came to realise that the best i can do is to make myself better and to do that i need mind my own business and let people do whatever they want. In my understanding stage yellow and above want to change earth and society and etc that i smirk and I say Good luck with that.

@Jack River I am interested in demystifying the mystical and not to add to it. I think you want to do more with mysticism witch is not the area i'm interested in.

@Jack River I have no idea where do you get this desire from.

@Jack River No one forces you to do any thing dude! that's the process of Concentration and awareness. You can do whatever you want to do.

@Jack River You aren't paying attention. we are Information mechanisms, we are able to receive and produce information. You are at any time receive some information that you pay attention to and ignore the rest because of brain ability to process limited information at the time. Your brain chooses the information for you in accordance to your usual state of mind. Most of it is trained by environment and all these practises is to reprogram your brain to be in your favour not against you.

@Jack River Your psychic energy is your attention and you are fully in control of that.

I wholeheartedly agree with this view. All Psychedelics do is to remove the filters in frontal cortex and help one to receive more information that the brain usually ignores. You can train yourself to reach that level at will, Its hard but it achievable

@bejapuskas I did, but i found this particular video very intriguing. In one hand self actulization is important but on the other hand a hungry organism only knows food. Most of the movement that tried to make euphoria failed because of that. If you don't differentiate it you might find yourself doing some rituals daily and call it growth

Leo encourages people to do their own inquiry and that means investigation that requires to question everything. How can you belittle someone who call himself talking head and ask the listener to do not depend on his teaching and go and discover themselves?

I think concentration can be the precursor to awareness .You train concentration to increase your attention span that can help you to be able to focus on your breath fully on every nook and crannies, the temperature, the sensation and the flow . the awareness that means the state in witch you control 100% of your psychic energy and in science call the Optimal experience.
