@Shakazulu Schedule, schedule, schedule. I resisted scheduling for awhile because I thought I wanted "freedom" and to "be in the moment". And while I do want those things, scheduling the right way doesn't negatively impact that. It helps. Before you go to sleep, put in your calendar for tomorrow when you going to read, work on your life purpose and whatever else you're doing. And then just stick to the schedule.

Your degree of unconditional love for everything around you. The whole game of the ego is that it wants everything to be a certain way. When that criteria doesn't get met, that's when your resistance to what is kicks in.

@Sopot That's great you're interested in the course. If you were to find a way to pay for the course on your own, what do you think it would be?

@Tony Tellez They're just following the socially conditioned script that has been given to them. Don't fight it, you won't win. Just keep doing what you know is right and try and bring as many people up with you as you can.

I know how frustrating it can be. Give me breakdown of what your week looks like. For instance: 1) How often are you going out 2) Do you have wings 3) Where do you live 4) Where do you go out (clubs, bars, day game) 5) What do you do for work + anything else you think relevant.

@DustOfEarth Glad you're joining us! I'd say playing video games can be a symptom of lower consciousness. People use it as a way to numb and distract themselves from their own lives. But at the same time, you could turn the creation of video games into an art form. It could be your life purpose. Why do you want to pursue creating video games?

@Nic I haven't seen any. What if you wrote one?

@Wyatt 1+ just because I'm an Eckhart Tolle fanboy Doing presence work can definitely have strange energetic effects like making you tired or emotional. Your physical body isn't used to it, so it's like it has to adapt to using this new energy source as fuel. You've been putting in regular gas, now it's time for premium. Nothing to do but push through the hump. Eventually it actually increase your energy levels.

@Annetta I did a guided meditation with Doreen Virtue where she walked us through some cord cutting via the angels. Can't "prove" it did anything, but things have improved since then.

@egoless The answer is in the "All Criticism Is Untenable" video. Watch it again and keep contemplating. Maybe we can be aware of the need for change without making an enemy out of what is

Stumbling around in the dark, trying everything. Still doing that to a certain degree to be honest , I don't think the process ever ends when it comes to life purpose. You, me and everyone else. The mind loves the "what if" game. Some days you just push through on what seems like sheer will. Meditation and yoga helps a lot.

@Light Lover What exactly are you looking for? A mentor? Formal schooling? Be more specific.

@Aquarius If the gap is big enough, no. Or you're just going to be really unsatisfied. It won't even be because you're right and he's wrong or he's right and you're wrong. It'll just be because you're too different. You're going to want to go to yoga. He's going to want to watch TV. You're going to want to eat at a healthy restaurant. He's going to want to go to McDonalds. I'm stereotyping but you get my point. From a Law of Attraction standpoint, you're no longer a vibrational match. You might be able to get this person to start working on themselves if they're open to it. But that's a very big if and usually is not the case. Much easier is just to set your own boundary ahead of time. Make "I'm looking for a high consciousness relationship and don't accept anything else" your new standard.

@CuteCornDog With what intention? Getting them arrested? I don't see that ending well.

@CuteCornDog And? What are you going to do about it.

@Leo Gura Love it. If you come out to Miami I can definitely get more than 20 people in a room.

@Epiphany_Inspired You're using perfectionism as a shield. If you have all these visions you're passionate about actualizing, great. Then it shouldn't matter which one you choose because you care about all of them. The fact is that lack of commitment to a vision is ultimately a luxury. Actualizing your vision is likely to be the hardest thing you've ever done, and yet you're taking it completely for granted. I don't see how anything Leo is promoting is about eating dirt for the rest of your life. Sure, it's hard work. And the work never ends. But the rewards are tremendous.

@see_on_see I can always form a judgment. But the rep count still helps. Look, I seek out experts in everything I do. If I'm looking to earn more money, I'm looking for the guy with a mansion and a Rolls-Royce. If it's enlightenment, I want the guy who has meditated 20,000 hours and has a bunch of students that have made it as well. It doesn't mean everything they say is true. I might discard even the majority of it. But I'm not so naive to think I know everything or that we have the same level of understanding. In fact, one of the biggest obstacles to learning is that you usually have tons of preconceived opinions on what is true, fed to you by people who didn't know what they were talking about. And the mentor / expert has to get rid of all of those. So yes, if I came to this forum as a new guy I'd 1000% be looking for the top-rated posters. It helps massively.

@Leo Gura I am pro keeping things the same. I understand your concern about social proof and its ability to manipulate people's perception. But it has a purpose. We are not all equal, some people are more of an expert than others. And I like knowing who is and who isn't perceived that way because it gives me a context to evaluate what they're saying.

@Tony Tellez Listening to music can be good. Linkin Park, not so much. Everything you consume is having an impact on you. Ask yourself: do you want to be like the kind of person they portray in their music? Angry? Hopeless? Numb?

@sgn Keep taking action, keep exploring and keep doing your personal development work. The fog will start to clear.

I'm pro-gratitude and appreciation within a context. But I'm definitely anti-anyone having to "prove themselves" to anyone. Proving yourself sets a frame that her opinion matters more than yours. It's approval chasing. You're obviously not just using this girl. So she either gets it or she doesn't. And if she keeps bringing it up, I'd stop being friends with her because she's being selfish.

@George Fil Good stuff my brother. If you haven't already decided, you guys should watch it together. Way better than Netflix

@-T8 Have you tried enforcing a boundary? It sounds like you're just complying to what she wants and you haven't tried to talk to her about it or stick up for yourself. If that is the case, realize THAT is actually the selfish move. Nobody deserves to be with someone who is only there 50%, which is what you're doing when you don't want to be there.

@Dsteller It's all a paradox. My personal philosophy is similar to what Leo describes in his latest motivational video: Yes, I want to be obsessed and with unreasonably high standards for my life. Standards so high that 99% of people can't relate to me. And, I want to so not give a shit that I could drop it at any second and laugh. Because it's all a joke. So I don't see "wanting" as the root of suffering. At least not in the way I define "wanting". Wanting is inevitable. Wanting is what life is all about. Continual, never ending creation. The question is, are you aware that the game never ends?
