  1. In MBTI the ENFJ and ESFJ have the hardest time with they're thinking process of being heavily influenced by others. This nearly always causes and is caused by low self-esteem. As they get older and they try to solve this exact problem they tend to swing the pendulum too far to the other side and overly adapt and what happens is they become very rigidly certain about how they feel about what they think, Every time someone say anything, they will slam their foot down and claim. "THIS IS WHAT I FEEL ABOUT IT". Basically, they become hypersensitive and they cannot seem to find the balance between there thinking and feelings and the thinking/feelings of others. My father is one of these cases where it's very clear that his adaptation strategy was to have a strong personality that could deflect other people's feelings and thoughts because they're so overwhelming he can't deal with them properly. He wants to have his feelings and he wants to have his thinking be validated strongly. He wants this so badly because in his youth, he feels bullied basically by other people's thoughts and feelings! So of course if this is your sense making strategy, it means your wrong about everything lmao. He is extremely influenced by the thinking of others and so an identity has to be formed around it to protect itself. You're much more advanced than this, I bring this topic up just as a warning, not to swing the pendulum too far to the other side as you try to learn to balance all this out. If I have a feeling about something or I think about something, I put so much effort into it and then when someone else is thinking process comes in, I could easily dissect everything wrong with it. Other people thinking are so profoundly wrong and it's just group think where they regurgitate whatever first thing that popped into their head. When you put enough effort into something and you dedicated your life to truth seeking and your top value is truth all of these silly games that are people are playing become so obvious that it's not gonna affect you in the same way. The autonomous mind takes in new information from any source like people, videos, a dog barking and contemplates it, and then decide how to integrate it into one's model of reality. So you're building a model of how everything works and you want see how it fits, how the puzzle piece are all fitting together. Peoples thoughts and feelings about a thing are just another puzzle piece that you gotta see how it fits into your models. Think of yourself as a model builder. Another thing is, this is a guaranteed trait of low self-esteem. Low self-esteem will make it so you can ever be certain about anything. Normally people have to solve most of their self-esteem problems in their teenage years, but if people missed that stage of development because they're smoking weed, terrible parenting and whatever other genetic factors going on, they then have to work twice as hard to figure it out when they're older. Most people never solved their self-esteem problems and their self-confidence problems. and so they create a posturing, a show, an ego-identity around their low self-esteem as an adaptation, pretend to be the real thing because society demands it. Another thing is thinking is something you have to practice. You would never expect to be good at violin if you don't practice violin, this is intuitive. But for some reason when it comes to thinking, we just assume that you could be good at without deliberate hard effort. Thinking is something that has to be practised in a very deliberate, self challenging way where one challenges himself to make improvements. Most people when they sit in front of a musical instrument they play what they know and what's comfortable and what's fun and they don't challenge themselves and so they get stuck at the same level of skill. It's a misconception that the longer you do something the better you are it, most people that do something for 10 years in reality, they just repeated the same thing that they learned the first year for 10 years. You can't stay in your comfort zone you gave to challenge yourself and challenge you're thinking process which is exactly what you're doing right now. The vast majority of people you've ever came to contact with have never practised thinking. There Level of thinking is at 1. Their level of thinking is so bad they don't even know how to hold the violin. It's like a child when you sit them in front of the piano, they basically take their fist and they just slam it into the keys. That's the quality of thought of most people. Yet because it's so elusive and it's behind an invisible barrier called someone else's mind we put so much weight into what they have to say. and omg, socializing will never make someone good at thinking... Socializing is like being punched in the face while you try to contemplate. Good luck learning how to think that way.
  2. LOL I would love to see Leo tell Operah that the secret and law of attraction is a new age hippy corruption of spirituality. lmao but on a side note both my parents LOVE LEO. hes a boomer magnet, there is so much untapped potential
  3. We need an actualized social media platform. Anti-corruption algorithms. Algorithms that incentivize creators to make great addictive content, but also aligned with higher values
  4. The leo religion is about to begin. Next: Oprah makes a comeback to push Leos content to the boomers.
  5. I got 20 pounds of mushrooms ready, im just waiting for his consent. And you never know it might cure his cancer.
  6. @Leo Gura Can you write a blog entry on your current understanding/insights of death?
  7. APOE2 is the smoke and drink your entire life and live to 100 gene. The rock has it. He got tested.
  8. I speak on the forum like I'm speaking to my mother. This is as good as it's going to get.
  9. This doesn't mean much to me because the AI is cherry picking. My personal experience is that all the different forms of vitamin E that I've taken they all made me feel worse the longer I took them. Now with you're personal experience, you're noticing agitation with the supplements which I've been telling people for years that supplements aren't safe for the same reason. Especially long-term use. Yet people like Brian could just take whatever they want and they're just ploughing through life?
  10. Maybe because vitamin E supplements are toxic.
  11. Try preparing it the way Brian does to get all the enzymes and digestive support (food synergy) see if there a difference Its possible Less digestive stress, less inflamation (body damange)
  12. If you can perfectly digest lentils, then it should be the core of your diet Follow Brian Johnson's recipe I wish I could eat lentils. Life would be so easy.
  13. Town that eats tarantulas Tarantula delicacy
  14. First watch the video then read what trump sais ----
  15. I've been practising commanding myself to do things as if it's separate "it" object autonomous AI. The perspective is you're watching yourself then you command the thing "you" to do something like, "relax" or "do this". Basically, you're commanding the puppet and the puppet has no autonomy it just obeys. And this allows the puppet to do things that it doesn't want to do effortlessly without any free will. There's also no experience of "doing" there's only a do-er. The Do-er does things automaticly, and the watcher nudges it in the right direction like talking to a pet. The commander always knows what to do, no thinking needed. The puppet is told to think, when its done thinking the commander knows what to do next with the puppet. The commander is the pure higher self. The commander points to do what is true and wise. Probably no one's gonna respond to this, sharing random thoughts. lol
  16. When you're immature and young no, when you're older and mature, yes
  17. The standard framing: Meditation is a practice to achieve special states Enlightenment/awakening is the goal, something beyond ordinary The stages are accomplishments Full body awareness is an advanced skill Real framing: Full body awareness is baseline health The "stages" are rehabilitation from damage There's nothing special about it, it's just being human properly Spiritual practice is physical therapy for a civilization-wide injury "Awakening" is just waking up from a pathological state, not transcending normality --- Your normal state is supposed to be full body awareness. This is the natural state of being. If you're not doing this, you're in a contracted state of sickness, where the default mode network and ego are the master and there's no meta-observer. Vast majority of people can't do basic body scanning, this is extreme sickness, causing poor blood flow to your limbs, the body can't generate heat properly, your body can't digest properly, your mind can't observe itself, causing mental sickness. You were supposed to be in full body awareness all the time! This is the basic form of being. And spiritual teachers don't know this, they had to practice to develop full body awareness, so they confuse it for enlightenment and higher stages of being when it's just basic being. This is the basic foundation of how to operate a body not enlightenment. --- All insights come from being in the correct state of being, State comes first. Everything else follows. Correct state → natural wisdom, natural non-attachment, natural presence Damaged state → desperate attachment, mental chaos, need for teachings When you're in the right state, the insights are self-evident. You don't need someone to teach you impermanence, you feel it. You don't need to practice non-attachment, grasping doesn't arise. You don't need someone to teach you love, it self evident. ITS ALL SELF EVIDENT. Stop focussing on being taught and just practice to get yourself in a healthy state of being. --- Most people cant feel there toes! Body scanning is REHABILITATION. You are in a sick suffocating state not aware of your entire body at all times. You should be aware of everything simultaneously all the time, all the sound in your environment, all the sound in your head, all the thoughts in your head, all the feelings of your body, the observer, observing the observer. While you're thinking, you should hear the birds behind you all happening simultaneously. It is all one field.
  18. Dude i know, but do you feel your feet? lmao
  19. My belief is that body tension is mostly caused by poor air quality. I'm not gonna get into it, but basically it keeps the body in a contracted state. I personally have this problem too, and I have to consciously relax the tension, but this doesn't happen if I'm in the mountains or places with great air quality like outdoors away from any kind of man-made chemical exposure that could be in the air (cleaning products, peoples laundry detergent on their clothes, mold, candles, perfume, Cologne, anything like that) Air qualities the difference between strong blood flow in your hands and feet and weak blood flow and a contracted state. Heat and Blood flow in the hands and feet should be an effortless thing that the body does on its own. But our toxic environment keeps people contracted. Sitting is not bad for you. all of the studies that are focussed on sitting, and the problem is its testing people who are sitting in a toxic environment, so they're not isolating air quality from the test. So yes, sitting in a box where you're essentially suffocating causes restricted blood flow and high cortisol levels and tension in all of your limbs is bad for you. But they're blind to the important variable.
  20. I Remember you spoke about an experience you had once where you were in a classroom and time would stop and then you would experience extreme stress response. I don't know if Im miss recalling this. lol Did this have anything to do with body awareness? what was the process that built up to this
  21. Are gymnasts and athletes conscious of there entire body at the same time?
  22. There's two parts to my writing style, the first is intentional controversy to spice it up, which just happens automatically and I probably go too forward with it, the second is I'm not naturally in a humour or play state, sort of robotic autism is the direction. Comes extremely direct and blunt. lol The topic is more like "PEOPLE CANT FEEL THERE BODIES?" wtf are people doing??? Without the body Everything is dysfunctional. And I contribute a lot of of my insights from body awareness as grounding. I don't deny its extremely useful for insights and awakening. From my experience with my own body and analysis and questioning others, not aware of breath and body in a full way is a neurotic state. Maybe you could get away with really good awareness of the breath for grounding Nice I'm interested to know for people who struggle with full body awareness and who are practising, what's their main issue and what kind of practice are they doing? Like can you feel your breath, your hands and your feet at the same time or do you lose one part of your body if you try to focus on another and it's hard to juggle both at the same time?
