@Salvijus if that was the case no PTSD patient would ever need another appointment, healing takes time is my main point. When someone punches you in the face it's now your problem, people can still throw emotional punches to our guts and being able to feel them doesn't make us weak, it makes us capable of feeling and avoiding it is only denial and will lengthen the recovery process.

@BjarkeT I would like to add to what you said. There are some people who've gone through immense trauma, for example chosing the wrong partner, abusive, deceptive, cruel and careless. Maybe some have grown up being raised in ways that limit their ability to trust others. Maybe someone has lost a friend or loved one or someone they knew their entire life was murdered, with these experiences, insights won't do much to slow down the natural healing process that is perfectly acceptable. "Your problems" can be someone elses and now it's yours.

I'm currently attending school for my adult education, since i never went through highschool. I then realized how much i was limited conceptually speaking, without knowing proper sentence structure, context and how to create that consice concluding sentence, to ensure a reader they understand me without question. Great post!

@Gabriel Antonio Absolutely! And thank you, Gabriel. i understand my comments seem, banal and rudimentary or how difficult it must be for you to consider reading them, since i don't know you on a personal level. Nonetheless, i believe that it can still produce significant change which takes years in my opinion and experience. Until then, it's undisputable, since this linguistic loop we've put ourselves in is almost impossible to break. As the saying goes "chains of habit are too light to be felt until they're too heavy to be broken."

@Gabriel Antonio When you said that you struggled with SA since you were 11. There's nothing wrong with your experiences or even what you said, it does however, bring out a certain conviction, reputation and external locus of control. Changing our context and word choice for example, from... " i've struggled since i was 11" to " i had struggles with anxiety in my past" This would be how i'd define NLP Fundamentally, we're telling ourselves the same thing, except you don't instill a negative view of yourself to yourself and implies you'd be better able to cope with your future encounters with anxiety. Or better yet look at this shift "I'm struggling" to "i have struggled" although, we can't prove or should dare attempt to attribute our self talk to the root of our problems. Positve encouragement can help, specifically in the case where nothing seems to be working. Just like how negative encouragement from others can be unhelpful to ourselves, we can be negatively encouraging to ourselves oddly enough and not even pay attention to it. In short, We create our own normal.

@SgtPepper interesting, Thanks for sharing by the way and I can see the resemblance too. Although, i'd get visual snow, shaky vision and pattern recognition enhancement, coloured cev's, objects would stretch and even move in place, sensations of rising and falling of ego death too, if that makes sense. Especially prominent with smoking cannabis. Lots of things in general really Just couldn't tame my curiosity and had to ask around.

In my teenage years i had a handful of salvia experiences and a decent mushroom and cannabis trip. Then a few years back i had hash oil with mushrooms too and if i smoke cannabis, i can see more depth distortion and texture changes very subtle not like before it's been several years. If i glance at the floor for example for a good 10 seconds too long, i see rippling and waving? I'm not disappointed or worried just curious about everyones experiences.

@cetus56 that's very true, Deepak's ability to articulate himself with such percision brings so many people together. When he said, "Boundaries are conceptual" & "where is the I that's experiencing this conservation right now?" That was really worth ruminating over. Also Sadhguru talking about, "Human intelligence being corrupt from the beginning" & "the spiritual process isn't about becoming superhuman, it's about knowing that being human is super" & "there is no need to believe or disbelieve anything, what you know you know, what you do not know you do not know if this one thing comes into every human being, every single thing will run smooth around us" also gave some good closure to what Deepak was saying that we spoke about.

@cetus56 I'm watching your video right now, it's very comprehensive i'm reminded of "No amount of thinking can stop thinking" - Mark Nepo & “Lose your mind and come to your senses” by RKH’s mentor Fritz Perls Thanks for sharing, i'll continue to watch your video.

I'll be watching later tonight i'm a big believer in the "we reap what we sow" aspect, i would not expect to learn much more if i don't watch this video. Thanks

Wow, that's quite the experience! What did you take? Do drugs in general with minimal to no psychedelic properties elicit more of an unconventional perception change for you these days?

I actually have him as my wallpaper on my laptop and like this quote it could make a good video. I can't think of a particular video on that but lots of his content i think implies that mentally we are ever changing. Or should be

I want to give a little background In short, Growing up my Father had developed a serious drug and anger problem, this distant then estranged relationship had a large impact on how i developed. It started with not wanting to see him and his biligerent friends then eventually i didn't want to go to school then it was leave my bedroom even or sit in the front seat of a car. I was living with an external locus of control, me and my family thought there were a permenant physiogical imbalance that needed medicating, some helped me get out into social places like a mall or inside school, not getting into the details here. I tried about everything even to the extent of psychedelics which didn't do much but only made things worse. What helped me? I found Allan watts and learned about looking at things Nondualitically, listened to ralph smart and learned about positive psychology, went through regularly therapy for many years, specifically CBT helped i eventually met 1 CBT therapist that helped me more in 1 session than the other could in several years. learned about NLP, Taoism and different levels of consciousness, these were my pillars and creating my success when it came to my anxiety. I still have some, i think people going through a patch of anxiety are just more aware of themselves which makes it worse. Eventually i think you'll run out of energy to be capable of being anxious as you were before, it may take a few months, a year or several years. Depending on the person and the degree to how much effort they put into practice.

I'd say be sure to realize that not all forms of veganism are equal and the same goes with people. Not everyone has equal success if that's with their health and fitness or relationships. You can especially fail being vegan because it is incredibly hard and there are many peole who are just incapable of the copious amounts of shopping, discipline and putting their morals before taste buds. Veganism takes lots of personal research and is a serious life choice that can destroy your health if you're incompetent or don't have the gut strength and genetics. For example you have a wide array of food allergies... I'm not going to reply or have an argument with anyone because that's what studies are for, learn to read the studies and medical literature diligently and have the appropriate medical vocabulary to understand before coming to dramatic assumptions and to falsifying all of Veganism. lifestyle factors aside from diet have an impact on our health aswell like our stress, relationships, mental health and fitness all these need to be in harmony with one another. I am vegan and it's helped me psychologically more specifically attain desire and ability to learn, focus, remember. Cleared my skin up and helped me become more emotionally intelligent and open minded.

Fantastic post, much respect. Will read

I think he'd make for a good topic in one of leo's videos. I've compiled the best information i could possibly find, here's an article and video. Both the article and video make for a good introduction to his mindset while saying anything i possibly would say here. https://medium.com/@philosotramp/why-diogenes-of-sinope-28885ec6cc86

Discrimination of different methods is so common with enlightenment from people who are seeking and have experienced its varying forms. Has anyone read siddhartha by herman Hesse? Being able to transition from analytics to non thinking and being present could only be that significant by spending an entire life of asking what it means to be. Leo has said in his videos that meditating or reading things like, scriptures, texts, or doing self inquiry should only be used as an adjunct to thr practice of seeking enlightenment. If you are disagree with out of the box thinking being a pillar of enlightenment i wonder why you joined this site in the first place.
