Thought Art

Thank you! I think stopping smoking weed, and accepting and embracing what is helped. As well as working through some of the fears and shadows I was really stuck on for a few months. Seems like not smoking weed, meditating 20 minute in the morning and at night in addition to my Qigong and journaling really helped me. So glad to be meditating in the way I used to once more. It's a journey.

Lol, that was one of my biggest obstacles. "Life can't feel good. I can't trust people. Life is suffering" and how I love my suffering. It feels scary, but less and less am I suffering. It's like entering a whole new world. Biggest thing for me right now though, is trusting myself and forgiving myself for past mistakes. Then just being okay with what is. The ego loves it's suffering Also, if you have suffered for a long time safety and trust feel threatening for many reasons, one being homeostasis.

It could be a form of meditation. Each meditation technique reaps different results. 30 days of marathon seems unhealthy though tbh. Isn't there a book on Leo's booklist about running meditation?

Would you believe they are illegal to keep people safe? I think psychedelics are great, but easily misused. Even with spiritual intent, there are dangers.

Yeah, I think reality is just the appearances. It's all pretend. Absolute relativity. Yet, there are rules here. And I don't really know.

It depends. I think reading a wide variety of books is important for building a larger map of reality. However, you can also decide to dive deep and study one subject, like what is aligned with your life purpose. So for me I read a lot about personal finance, cognitive behavioural type things, relationships, fears, business, marketing, human nature etc. But, now I am focusing on Qigong, breathwork, posture, yoga, meditation, journaling I am focusing on those for the courses I am designing. I will share a great Vernon Howard story later, maybe monday. However, for me personally I realize that life is so complex and there are so many areas of my psyche, systems for living, models of reality, spirituality, business, finances etc that I need to read wisely the right books. Really, what you read is up to you. I do think reading complimentary books is really important. Taking risks to read books you don't feel naturally drawn to is important to because you may discover new things. Really, reading should be a fun exploration of reality. Your reading can be done in different ways and for different reasons. Because, it's so easy to think you know, when you really don't. Any area of your life you are struggling in? Book.

This is possible, but don't be surprised when this doesn't happen. People love to talk and imagine they are like this. But, a lot of people are selfish I think. Honestly, I still have a lot of work to do around intimacy. My ideal is to see Jane for Jane, and hopefully she can see Dick for Dick. Living in a relationship where we work on our transference, assumptions and projections openly to me is important for something lasting.

This is something to contemplate and research as there is no one answer to this question. Usually stress is pretty exhausting.

I've been having problems all week

Lol, all this yogi does is stretch and sit. What the point? All this bus driver does is turn left, turn right, stop at the light and let people on and off All this teacher does is open and close his mouth All this singer does is breath and move its hands All this college degree is is a piece of paper However, yeah totally be wary of Leo's teachings.

I think it's the only thing that exists

Man, I had 200k I could live the rest of my life well ahah Not exactly, but it would make my life purpose In da bag. All I really need is money. I don't have it, so the process is a lot slower.

Can you trust yourself? Is reality real or imaginary? Is open mindedness a paradigm? Mistakes lead to success

It's interesting. Living in a world where you can really trust chance, yourself or others. All you can do I think it let go. Go with the flow. Anything could happen.

There is a chrome extension I thought

Depends on the context.

My own bullshit! My own mistakes. Lack of money.

I found suffering through the withdraw, and affirming each morning what my values were helped. I was hell, but being sober and not smoking weed is so much better. Facing reality. Stop craving pleasure and bliss. Be okay with being just as you are.

Sure, well I am just seeing letters on a screen or something. I see my hands, not someone else's hands. In order for there to be two, there must be one.

Lol, well I am a bubble of experience that isn't you. Still not sure how Leos' solipsism teachings are affecting people.

For me, personally it's just this bubble and everything else I am imagining. This to me seems to make sense that I am in a skull. OR, whatever.
