  1. I don't believe when you change your perception, problems automatically disappear, you just don't see that is a problem anymore. However, it's like kind of mental masturbation in another way I don't want to choose reality over my self-agenda which includes my core values. All my actions are base on that values, how can I live an authentic life without that. The reason I didn't go all in enlightment because I'm scare the shit out of me being a man who see nothing wrong with the world and extremely happy just by shit and doing nothing. This is fucking paradox man. The only thing I know pretty sure is on my path of self-improvement, what ever will be will be
  2. Nature does not have attributes, it is what it is dry, shy and unconfident is your perception. So, you want to be more confident, attractive, and interesting guy right? practice mindfulness/donothing meditation is my suggest.
  3. @zasa joeyto be clear you have to ask yourself the very simple but also the most sophisticated question: "What do you really want out of life?"
  4. You are worring about what will you do when you become a billionaire? be one FIRST man
  5. Well, they're with you when you in trouble, but what I want to ask was they're with you to help you out of trouble or watch/enjoy you miserable. If they did help, support you so I assume you have real friends, sometimes what they said may hurt you but the action say it all, I have friends like that too. So you want to change the way they treat you, you have to earn their respect. How? You have the WHY then you will know HOW, it comes naturally.
  6. @zasa joeyHey man, tell me what your 'brothers' do when you're in trouble? Sometimes, you just need to distance yourself from people, alone is so awesome and it doesn't mean lonely You will never lose friends for who you truly are, you only learn who the real ones. And you won't call the real ones friend in double quotation.
  7. Life purpose and enlightenment might seem contradictory but the more you investigate to enlightment, the more you understand there is no contracdictory. It's all about self-actualization which requires alot of inner work (e.g. sit and doing nothing :D), not by doing more outer work.
  8. @ArikInteresting answer, I want to ask how you overcome procastination. It's my biggest problem.
  9. I accidentally did stop by actualize.org youtube chanel one year ago. I was a wandering sheep, who do not know there's always the way to live the life you want and be yourself, from the deepest level. I'm grateful for that.
  10. Well, maybe he has the information to share but I'm far more interesting in his experiences. You can be an asshole so don't ask when other being whatever they want to be
  11. The Search Finally, in this remote village, his quest ended. There, by the fire, sat Truth. Never had he seen an older, uglier woman. ’’Are you truth?’’ The wizened, wrinkled hag nodded. ’’What message can I take from you to the world?’’ he pleaded. She replied, spitting into the fire, ’’Tell them I am young and beautiful.’’ -Robert Tompkins
  12. Haha true, when you ask the great master/teacher they often answer by act or tell a story, rarely answer directly to your question. It pokes your current level of consciousness. The more you raise your consciousness the more you understand and get the answer by yourself. But there are also many false master try so hard to answer like that and it makes no sense, so be pissed and beware
  13. Yes, take massive action but on the inner work. And I feel it's so painful much more outter work. Your brain, heart and body gonna hurts although you just sitting around and contemplating (conflicting thoughts, beliefs is fuckin pain :D)
  14. I don't know it does help or not but it doesn't matter. The problem is 'ego' always wants something and enlightment is giving everything up. So if you think your ego desires to die, let it be but do you believe your ego is the real 'you'? Dodoster gonna die and 'you' will survive
  15. Hi Leo I would request a video about the balance between being and becoming. Nowadays people too busy to work, achieve and accomplish to 'becoming', one year from now I will becoming, in the next five years I will becoming... So there is a problem when we too focus on becoming , we continueously losing the present moment, which is perfectly beautiful already with all the joys. How to find a balance between those two, 'being' and 'becoming'. Thank you.
  16. Thanks for your pointing, I definitely go for it. 'Art of being and becoming ' the book seems very interesting.
  17. @Huz88I experience this too, quite often and ofcourse it's awkward, sometimes really uncomfortable. In the group when people are talking and suddenly, a long pause because no one know what to say next, hehe. That was me before i come to self-actualize path. I find it totally normal now. The mind scares the shit out of silence and that's why you feel awkward. Some techniques may help but you want to solve it permanently? Understand how to handle the monkey mind, I mean train it to keep silence
  18. I saw your previous post, it is a waste of time. Watch Leo's video advise for college, you are 14 right? You need to arm yourself before 'revolution', be well prepared. And I believe your life purpose gonna change when you grow up and know more about the real world, not the one in your imagination atm.
  19. Enlightenment is a realization, it does not require knowledge, experience, study blah blah
  20. If you want to just do it, you stop thinking about it, just do the shit. And baby steps count, start small. That's the secret e.g in the morning your alarm ring, just wake up. Do not think oh I'm tired, maybe I snooze a little bit, oh I can delay a bit blah blah. Just wake the fuck up.
  21. "I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer CHANGES US and we change things." ― Mother Teresa Prayer gives you strength to do things do not dare to do, do not believe you could, to make the impossible to possible. Like magic but its all about faith, and about YOU, not others
  22. Love him, problem solve. (absolutely not easy as it sounds)
  23. It's fine to fall asleep again but this time be aware when you sleep
