The work, in my experience, isn't about pushing and shoving to get somewhere. It is slow, and almost all internal. Yes if you go for a run today you may burn some calories, but you may want some chocolate tomorrow and have no reason not to binge. Remember what Leo says about vision, start to cultivate that vision. Your mind probably doesn't want to, and because you have a habit of pushing and shoving yourself to do "productive" things, it may even hurt your head trying to picture what you want. My advice is to just get the vision ball rolling, and allow the process to become slow, Ernest and introspective. You don't like reading, meditating etc. Okay, what do you like? Ffs there has to be something, think back time when you felt creatively inspired or felt like you were I evolved in something genuinely worthwhile. And then begin that exploration.

This is wicked - keep it up homie.

I think it is okay to resonate with Leo as a teacher, and be really enthusiastically interested in what he has to say, and the example that he portrays. But at the end of the day, and as Leo has said himself, we have no clue whether he is a con artist or a Sage or something in between. -- Eventually we all must flee the nest, we must do our own exploration and do it as intensely as Leo has.

"This work is not about belief... You will believe me for a few years and then realise you have made a terrible mistake." - Leo Gura How can a set of suggestions, one of which being "do not believe these suggestions, think for yourself" be the ideology behind a cult? This doesn't make sense to me at all. I am not saying that I am biased by Actualized.org, but I just see these biases that I pick up on as beliefs that I have not inspected yet.

The fact that this video is angers me is clearly an issue that I need to address

@Dutch guy Thankyou so much.

At Kapooka you will definitely not find time to meditate. I haven't been myself, but I too was considering joining; I watched a video made by someone who has completed the Kapooka bootcamp/enlisting process, and said that the only time you get to reflect is during the 10 minutes you have to eat. Maybe you could become like a military leader, and integrate your passion for self development with your passion for civil defence. Have a look at how Sadghuru has integrated yoga into the military (see attached video). How might the Aussie army, or military in general benefit from doing something similar to this? How might personal development process effect the way that military is conducted throughout the world? How might military endeavours look if we had conscious leaders who are passionate about self-improvement (like yourself)? Also, this was the series that I looked at when I entertained the idea of enlisting. But I don't know how old you are, so the process may be different if you are over 18 (which I am not). Good luck homie. Peace

Do you think that video games is the best thing for the world?

This is wicked - cheers. After I finish Leo's life purpose course, I am really motivated to move onto Ken Wilber's courses. Have you done Full-Spectrum Mindfulness? If so, can you share how it was for you?

@Waken Thankyou so much for this. This is a really awesome insight.

I would say lots of quinoa, fruit, and ditch the OJ for extra space for vegetables. Good luck <3

@TrynaBeTurquoise Thankyou friend

Today a girl I really liked told me that she did not want to pursue a romantic relationship with me. This was a new experience to me, as I have always been the one to remove myself from relationships. At first, I read the words and it hurt me. I realised what people meant when they said "broken heart", as it almost physically hurt within my chest. I inquired into this feeling into my chest, and got the sense that I was creating it. Like my personal view of this girl did not align with the change that occurred in reality, so then it caused pain. The word "attachment" also showed up in this situation, I was attached to the idea of being in a relationship with this girl, and I really liked her and what she stood for. This gave me empathy for people who go through divorces, and breakup with their partners after years of commitment... Ouch. Feeling through the experience allowed me to tolerate what was happening, and now it feels like I my focus has come back to transforming my life. I think I was a little bit needy at times, but not overtly, it was just that I would be the one to text first and ask if she wanted to catch up, and I would do this a couple times a week. Through questioning, various practices and focusing my attention onto what is important to me in life, I am sure that these boundaries will become clearer.

No social media simplifies things. The people you truly want in your life have your number, and all the other distractions are eliminated. But if you think posting on social media adds value to your life then go for it.

If the crops are genetically modified, proteins can form in the plant that are foreign to the plant. The immune system sees this as a foreign invader, and in the process attacks its own tissue. (I read this in relation to gluten in a book by Sarah Blum M.D, but I think the principle could potentially still apply.)

Have you heard of Transpersonal Psychology; maybe something you'd like to check out.

Hey all, I am looking to do a DMSA urine test to see if I have any heavy metals in my blood stream.

Photos like these make me wonder why I actually quite successful with women

"About" reality

It just dawned on me that Bushcraft is a real occupation that people monetise. Being in nature to me is the most worthwhile thing in the world, I absolutely love it more than anything ever, if I could do one thing for the rest of my life, it would be to roam around a deep, lush forrest. Bushcraft is an art, bush-"craft". An art that can be mastered. Does anyone on here do regular solo camping? Or have experience with bushcraft? If so, can you maintain spiritual practice in the wilderness? Obviously meditation would be easy, but I've always wondered whether it would be possible to do a solo bush retreat, and maintain a Hatha yoga practice. Perhaps I will take this on as my own challenge.

@Roy Hey man, thanks for the reply. Would you recommend any resources that would help someone become proficient at solo camping. What are the baseline skills you need before spending long periods of time in the wilderness. Peace and thanks P.S. (long shot) If you're Aussie I'd love to go bush with you

@SirVladimirThanks so much for your reply; you make some really interesting points. Some ideas I have had have been to combine bushcraft with self-help. Here are some I had been pondering: - A bushcraftsman psychedellic integration assistant: So people love doing psychedelics in nature right? I thought you could take people into the forest, walk them through the process of id-ing the mushroom. After they ingest the mushroom you basically contextualise their trip based on their movements so that they can fully surrender to the trip e.g. They walk aimlessly into the bush, you clear their path, they stop and stare up at the trees as it gets dark; as they do this you efficiently build a fire, sleeping arrangements. The person tripping doesn't have to worry too much about surviving and can just focus on a fully immersive and integrated trip. - I also thought you could take out school kids who are having a hard time; I know that being in nature, away from everything can really help rewire you. You could facilitate them on one night of the trip, to do one whole day and night solo, in the process educating them on positive psychological principles. Then letting them go out into the wilderness to fend for themselves, perhaps regrouping at a camp to reflect about what they are going to take back into their lives. Obviously these are very personal ideas based on my own experiences; when I was in school it would have been incredibly valuable to have had someone to take me away from everything and give me time to ground myself. - Maybe documenting a pilgrimage through a massive forest, and having checkpoints where people meet you to do workshops; the pilgrimage would be the personally fulfilling, challenging, daring and captivating selling point, and the workshops would be about educating people about bushcraft, and philosophically opening people's minds to the non-conformist possibilities of how their life could unfold. I am saving to do a bushcraft course in October, but if I may get enough money to do it sooner. Peace

A while ago, I was doing "self inquiry" (however I was more neurotically focusing on what I thought was awareness). As I did so, pressure would build at the third eye, this became more and more apparent each time K did the practice. One time, the last time I did the practice, maybe around 5 months ago, an intense pressure began to build. It was as if my third eye was a tunnel, as I could direct this piercing poke on brumadhya itself, and even inside this tunnel, and behind my forehead. This piercing, that was directed by my intention, got so intense, that the brumadhya itself popped and energy spilled out of it all throughout my body; it poured down my face, fell down my body, there was so much of it that it felt like some collected at my ass cheeks. No article I can find describes this happening, nor any kundalini video. For a while I stopped all spiritual practice, and attempted to forget and surpress all things to do with it. Now practice (Angamardhana) Hatha yoga, and after I finish this Mandala period (40 days daily practice), I have another practice lined up (Yogasanas). The current symptoms are just a large area of dullness that resides at the the brumadhya point. Often the feelings of slight pain inside the head, particularly a small are, like a line, of pain maybe an inch or two, inside the head behind the right side of the forehead. Also my head gets very tense very easily, especially when I contemplate, study or just think, quite a lot of tension builds in the head, behind the forehead and closer to the middle of the brain. I try not to let it bother me. But if anyone has any information, resources or specialists I could see, this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There are other way to pleasure women; perhaps if a guy had a micro penis he could learn to make women orgasm without using his hands, people do that, so regardless there are ways around it. Do women prefer being pleasured by a penis?
