Any input would be appriciated!

By distinguishing truth from falsehood, stories from fantasies Thats the most effective way

I hope he asks "who makes those amazing thumbnails" question of mine

I don't know why but I find it really funny considering the work we do.

I am pretty inactive on this forum, however, I would like to take this time to give my testimonial. 2012, I spent my time watching anime (Japanese cartoons) and mostly watching romance animes. I had very very low self-esteem and desperately wished for a romantic relationship. 2014, I entered my university and fell in love with the hottest girl in my class. After 6 months of not being able to think about anything else but her, I decided to ask her out. I had a lot of acne and I knew she would say no but I did anyway. After asking her out and her saying no, I got super dejected. I desperately wanted to know what my problem was so that I could fix it. Later that week, I was in the food canteen and asked my friend why I got rejected. He pulled out his phone, took a photo of me and showed it to me and said "You tell me, why would the prettiest girl in the class like someone like you?" That broke my heart. My friends said I missed confidence and I was desperate to understand what that meant. I watched a lot of grooming channels like AlphaM and stumbled upon a video of Leo which I think is called "How to charming" or something like that? I found a lot of insightful information, so I decided to binge-watch his content about romance, dating, etc. Then I stumbled upon his content on enlightenment and I was like meh, I'll watch it. Then I more and more invested in it but never took it seriously. I decided to keep up with his content every week just because I had a lot of time and I could. Later like in 2017, I was watching Leo's video which I thought was very advanced and at the end of the video, he had tears in his eyes and said something like "If you watch my videos every week, I promise you that you won't regret it" That was it, at that moment, I promised that I would watch all of Leo's video and keep up to date NO MATTER WHAT. I still didn't get a girlfriend so I was desperately consuming a lot of information. 2018, I got my first internship and I decided to buy the Leo's book list. It was FUCKING AMAZING and probably the best purchase of my life. I remember him saying "If you read all the books in this list, I promise you, you will be a god among me" or something of that sort. I said to myself, I am definitely consuming all these books. Got an audible subscription or used to pirate the books and read them. Meanwhile, I followed Ram Dass, Alan Watts, Terence McKenna, Byron Katie, and more authors from the book list. 2021, I moved to Canada from India because I knew if I had to consciousness work, I had to get out of that country. I tried shrooms, I got an very insightful experience but I forgot. I later tried LSD and most of what Leo said, I finally understand. What he does in his free time and stuff like that. I am a lot more confident now, got my own youtube channel (Nurture1412) where I already did an Interview with byron Katie and Fred Davis. (Leo if you read this, I would love to do an interview with you about introspection and distinguishing truth from falsehood) I am still 24 and slowly pulling my life together. Without Leo, none of this would be possible! Thanks for making the content Leo, Much Appreciated. Love, Prem.

I read it but since I don't want to make this system an ideology, how can I understand it and realise it for myself Is it even true or real? Any person's input is much appriciated

@Leo Gura That's what I was thinking! BEcause there is no way I can directly experience it for myself. Thanks for the input

Wow, I would like to take my time and defend Leo's viewpoint on the latest video. I listened to Leo every week for the past 6 years, and truly it all builds upon each other. I used to live it India and used to breathing exercises like shamanic breathing, etc. Although, that helps me to understand stillness but never really help me integrate much. Feb 2021, I moved to Canada and later tried shrooms. For me, Love is something that interested me personally and every time I get high, I watch Leo's self-love video and the guided meditation video. Although, the drug did help me with depression and stuff and I got "insights" it kinda vanished after come down 1 weeks ago, I did LSD and that trip was soo much better! It felt like I could think and self inquire but on a higher plane. That's the best part, the insights stayed. After that I really started understanding what Leo is truly pointing at. The game here is super simple. You have to discern Truth from Falsehood. I don't know if you watched Leo's video on understanding language (which I don't exactly remember which video it was) where he explains the difference between direct experience and symbols pointing to direct experience. The symbols pointing to the direct experience are obviously not the experience. The finger-pointing at the moon is not the moon. The finger/symbols are falsehood. The truth is the experience aka the moon. The problem here is in daily life, the symbols/falsehood/stories are like an overlay on top of reality. Due to this, we confuse the stories about the moon is actually the moon and the actual moon as stories. On psychedelics, you are merely prone to do this less as all the stories kinda dissolve if you are open to the possibility and have some knowledge beforehand. Therefore people who say psychedelics are not "real awakening" or something are clearly missing the whole point of spirituality. Truth exists universally. The idea is to self inquire and directly experience the truth. To see the truth, you need to remove and skillfully discern truth from falsehood. On psychedelics, it's wayyyy easier to do this since you are already in an elevated state of consciousness and the stuff you were previously attached to for survival is not necessary anymore. The only question I feel that's really important, is how do you know what's truth and ARE YOU ABSOLUTLY FUCKING SURE that the stuff you call true is actually true? Self inquiry is needed.

@undeather Thank you so much! That helps a lot!

Hey guys and Leo, Apart from that one book in Leos booklist, could you please suggest me other resources to distinguish truth from falsehood?

Please post other high quality resources on this topic

If you are some like me who watches a lot of advanced videos but are still trying to get your life together, then this series is probably the best in my opinion Let me know what you think!

Hey guys, I got an opportunity to interview Fred Davis! If you don't know who that is, then you should check out the book that Leo has on his book list. I don't know how Leo did it, but the list has the best books in the world literally. I wanted to ask you if you had any questions that you wanted to ask him! if so let me know and I shall ask how much ever I can from the list!

I couldn't ask him this question, apologies

okie

@Karmadhi I understand your frustration. What he means here is You need to have the father energy (strong, masculine, purpose driven, action done with intent) but also at the same time need to have the energy of the little kids trying to steal the cookie from the cookie jar, the mom catches them but lets it slide. Father energy: - Strong moral compass and knowing what you stand for and what you dont - Protecting someone - purpose driven like sailing a ship to a destination and navigating the trials and tribulations Kid energy: - Feminine - Can't make their tie or adjust it perfectly and need help with that (note: talking about the energy behind this rather than the thing itself) - innocent - helpless in small daily things like a kid is so on and so forth This wouldn't help you now, however, once you just start talking to women or have a lot of female friends, you will start to get it Hope this helps mate

Today I woke up angry with her. I realized even though I am attracted to her, there is nothing about her I liked. That's because she doesn't have a sense of identity that she sticks by, so she would change her values to please someone she likes. That MAKES ME ANGRY In my head, the movies that were playing are that I wanted to scream at her and tell her and point out how inconsistent with her values she is. I started listening to Abraham Hicks. She mentioned that you need to move from anger to hopefulness. I was regressing back the scale to guilty for falling in love with her in the first place. Stupid me. Took me 8 months to realize this. If I was more introspective, I wouldn't have gone through suffering like this. ( LOOK AT ME, doing it again, regressing back to guilt) This is how insidious this stuff really is. What does moving to hopefulness look like. I am thinking, I need to start writing "I hope" and fill in the blanks I hope I never go through shit like this again. I hope I never she lives a better life our interaction added value to her life I hope I learned something from this journey that made me a better person because it taught me how to be a better person. I hope I value moments of interaction more than the outcome after going through this. I hope she has an amazing life forward I hope I get to be with someone even more special I hope I become more attractive to myself after this I hope I feel better after this. Right now, I want to take a moment and acknowledge that doing this makes me feel better. I hope I find ways to be happy by myself (Now let me check the emotional scale and see what's higher than this) (It's optimism -> happiness - > enthusiasm -> eagerness -> passion -> empowerment -> love -> Joy -> Freedom) I feel optimistic about improving my health and getting into shape and making myself more attractive to myself such that when I look in the mirror. I feel optimistic about acing the university and get excited about the journey. I feel optimistic that the next person I am going to be with, I will have a better time with it. (Right now, I feel good about this emotion and feels like I can feel the optimism) (Let's move on to the next one) I feel happy that I got to make new friends in the process like Farah, Rose, Marcel, get more closer with Iki & Cat, Gray, and I am looking forward to more things in life. I feel happy that thanks to this, I choose to do this process even though the problem with the negative emotions seems to go away because thanks to that exp I gained the wisdom not to stop. I feel happy that I feel better now (Moving on to the next emotion) I feel eager to start my day with positivity because this sets the tone for the day and I feel like little things like this. I feel eager to see what happens today and how the day goes thanks to this process. I feel eager to cook some delicious meal after writing this I feel eager to cook some fried rice for dinner after this I am eager to do some meditation and breathwork after this. I feel eager to improve myself mentally, psychologically and physically I feel eager to schedule my day and have a rough idea of what I am going to do. (Moving on to the next emotion, love) I look at this, I feel love because when I was writing the eager part, the things I was eager about naturally came rather than me forcing myself to do it. I realised that literally, the state of being will help you get the wisdom of what to do. I feel thanks to this process, I can love myself even more. I feel the more I do this and become familiar with this, I will feel free! I need to do more of this.

I process what for me is super personal stuff. Please don't give me unsolicited advice/argue unless I ask you. There is a difference between understanding and realizing and this process helped me realize. ------------------------------------------------------------ I woke up today thinking about her...again. I cut ties with her on Feb. It's May now, it still lingers...this desire... This desire to talk to her again. I know it will be not healthy for me and I have already wasted a year of my life with this bullshit. I know I need to move on from this... however, I am still holding on to something? Maybe my insecurity of not being handsome enough or I feel like people see me as a nice guy but never sexually like a man. They love to talk to me but not fuck me, basically. Something missing me? If so, then what is it? Self-inquiry seems to be the key (One of the reasons I started this, this is my anonymous confession box to process my emotions) I woke up today and I looked good. I like it. I sat down to write this, now I feel a weird sensation in my throat. Ahh, a familiar sensation indeed. I usually feel this when I wanted to say something and I keep it within myself. What are you trying to say P? I...don't know. I only know and feel this...pain...this longing for beauty and love. Beauty is transient. Always present, never everlasting. She was and is beautiful. A kind of mystique words can't describe. I have thoughts sometimes, maybe if I was more emotionally mature and charismatic, would it still have worked? Well, doesn't matter now I guess. This lifetime I met her in these circumstances. *When I don't let go of her, there is something in me that I am not letting go of myself* This pain and suffering really has nothing to do with her. There is beauty inside me that I have lost touch with and I am not willing to let go of the pleasure from holding on to whatever I am holding on to. I was never in love with her. For the first time, I was in love with myself through her. And she is gone, these obsessive thoughts about her, I never really had it for myself. Appreciation, I wish I could appreciate myself the way I appreciated her. I was not truthful to myself which caused this suffering. There is a feeling below my sternum A familiar feeling indeed. Breathing exercise does help me to resolve this feeling. Bodywork is really important, I am realizing. I am an extroverted guy, when talking to people, I forget my suffering. When alone tho...it comes back. This familiar pain of unresolved confusion. Watching the Owen video although I am a huge fan of pickup stuff Twisted emotions and confused unconcious. Maybe I should watch Leo's self deception video again

I realized yesterday that even though I was intensely attracted to that girl, there was nothing about her I liked. When I ask myself "What do I like about her?" Nothing particularly stands out. I just know I am attracted to her. I was reading a book, the alabaster girl, and in that, they asked me "Women fantasize about someone. Why are you not a women's fantasy?" Man, that's a tough question Why? Maybe because I am not masculine enough? Maybe I am too much of a nice guy? They don't see me as a man? A question that springs more questions! Feels like a journey that I am not yet willing to begin. Why indeed. What characters do I like about the women? I don't know. Nothing particularly stands out. I feel it in my body (if you know what I mean) and then go yep she's the one, would she love me back? Wrong approach. I won't make the same mistake again. This time, I will qualify her and try to find out what I like about her. Else, I will be lost in sea of sexual tension and frustration. Am I being honest with my desires? Probably not, I was not honest with her about it. Liked her yet accepted the friend zone. Caused me intense suffering. What makes a person seductive? What is the essence of it? What is it? A question that leaves me staring at the stars at 11:00 PM

I just watched this video and read the book that he spoke about here and I never realised how powerful this video is. Really recommend watching if you are a nice guy and talk to a lot of women but don't connect with them

This is a fascinating topic that I been trying to understand for years now. It's simple but needs sacrifice to execute. Step 1: Write down/bitch/rant in an unfiltered way on a paper or your journal. Step 2: Take each sentence and ask yourself "How does me choosing this feeling and thus acting this way server me?" Step 3: Take the answer and ask the same question again to the answer. How does it server me. Step 4: When it realized (not understand) that this doesn't serve you, you will drop it in that instance. This requires you to let your ego go and increase your sense of love. Watch Leo's video on "What is Self Love" to understand this deeper Step 5: Choose the belief that you do want to believe (Notice, here were self-love comes in to create a higher conscious belief) Voila! You have successfully changed your belief. Notice this requires contemplation which also Leo made a video on. Check that out as well! Hope this helps, let me know what you think in the comments below!
