John Paul

I’m in a new city with few contacts and I have emotional problems (mental health problems). Can anyone help me strategize socially? I’m also struggling financially. (I’m in fucking shambles)

I’m not in the city yet. I’m outside the city with some family. I’m just stir-crazy cause I’m getting less hours than I expected to work. im okay now

I’m doing very well with deconstruction and I’m even becoming capable of greater forgiveness than I was in the past. I have what I would think is manic depression and/or paranoia and also anxiety. It’s a real concern now that I’m getting “serious”. I have trust issues and that includes distrusting businesses and other organizations (they are made up of people). I am afraid they are going to trick me into taking pills and then I’ll be even deeper in the hole. Im also just generally doubtful about treatment and therapy and so on. I don’t know if it can help me or if it’s better to try to brute force a physiological healing through movement and cutting back on consumption and stimulation and also just taking the right steps in life and not burning bridges. I think I might need help but I also got it. Write me your thoughts and experiences.

I could never take myself to a therapist or a guru or any professional… so I think it’d have to be a friend. I made a post in the dating section instead if u guys wanna help

Why do you ask? I’ll look at it I’d rather talk to Leo lol.

My commonplace note today: Awareness. Gratitude. Fairness. Fair Compassion. Fair Wrath. Blessed are the merciful- Earn consistently, spend wisely.

My self-diagnosis, to give you a picture of symptoms, could be: bi-polar, BPD, anxiety disorders, CPTSD

@Consept yeah I guess your right unless you were to move to a serious party city like Leo suggests: Las Vegas, NYC, Miami, LA or something else crazy or like a crazy college town (big city is probably better)

What is the highest insight of all? If not the highest then top 3-4?Find them, then stack your other insights up against them one at a time to see if they are even relevant in the big picture of your life. You will start to deconstruct your list of insights.

Profound

It’s up to you. If you just want to have fun for yourself, you can. Some other people will have fun and some other people will get hurt like you said. You may even get hurt. or if your main concern is serious personal dev. You probably shouldn’t waste all of that time dating if you are already experienced enough to hook girls. You should spend more time on your career. If you’re rich already well… I envy you a bit lol. It’s up to you when or if you ever want to settle down and have children. At some point I’d think “pussy” would get toxic and boring.

You are watching too much YouTube. Take it from a YouTube junkie- YouTube is not reality. Not even Leo’s content.

Get all of their numbers in a friendly, normal way. Or you could have used your words to create a situation where you can continue to hang out after the bar. Maybe one or two would have gone home- eventually you might end up with one of them alone at the end of the night.

You will reach a point where you are certain that you are doing your best. At that point you will find a balance between empathy for others and for yourself (you can’t help everyone, don’t hurt yourself over this basic fact)

Simplify your insights into as few sentences as possible. Don’t stop there- boil them down to core values or “principles” and real life goals that you can work toward (without attachment of course). My whole commonplace book is now this: Be simple. Be grateful. Talk to multiple lenders. (Get a loan) See everything. (With a broker) Serve inspection papers and a total. *Maximize profit* (Sell) Buy a house where you can have an amazing family life. Simplicity, beauty, and consistency.

@Danioover9000 you can’t control another person. It’s a simple fact.

You’d be kind to respect others identities and paths. There is no need to interfere other than embodying goodness. Watch out for your own identity slipping into the strategist phase mentioned in Leo’s 9 ego stages video part 3. So I wouldn’t offer it to anyone especially you’re sober friend. But if anyone- why not your drinking friends? They already drink. Just make sure they don’t have mantle health problems.

If you have the intention, it will happen naturally through contemplation. The next step can be hard for us who have a lot of karma- taking the action steps to integrate, actualize, and then embody and move into turquoise.

Leo will tell you the same thing over again: it’s better for society to have an overreaction to injustice then none at all- especially where we are in history. It really wasn’t long ago that Americans had slaves, genocide happened etc. and there is still violence and hatred all around the world

Be good

If you shape-shift into something a wolf wouldn’t eat you’ll be fine.

Drugs work, they help you integrate absolute love. I don’t know why people say “it doesnt stick”. They are talking about literally being enlightened… I don’t know a single human I know that’s enlightened except maybe some people who you meet on the sidewalk who are just insane. In practice I don’t know the difference between enlightened and insane. Like if you’re actually enlightened I’m pretty sure you couldn’t live in a modern society (unless we’re talking future advanced society)

@Judy2 haha.. can’t imagine cause there will never be a turquoise world. Turquoise is for the eagles. But the eagles are only part of the eco-system.
