@Someone hereI think looking for meaning and purpose is inherent in ego. We always look for meaning in life. It's an unconscious automatic thing we do. Like shitting. However, some people can go constipated their whole life. Some people find it, some people engage with a toxic purpose and some die looking. I need to look for a why, I need to have a purpose. Because this what creates the energy to grow and thrive for something better. However, it made me question this whole thing about meaning after learning about developmental stages and I felt like... why try at all if I'm on the road to realise it's meaningless anyway? It's like I want to take life purpose very seriously because it's such an important thing, right? But actually no, I can't take it that seriously because it's just a mind-construct. So it's contradictory. A paradox. However, as few people pointed out, I create meaning and I'm attaching a negative label to meaninglessness. It gave a better more aware perspective and a lot to think about.

@Someone here The example made me laugh However, I can't agree that the example it a good fit. It's not like you not gonna help yourself but self-actualise. Quite the contrary, It involves an intention, logic, reason, strategising, intuition also. Full mind and heart work. The mind is like a medium, tool or bridge to transcendence. Digesting food and shitting is unconscious. it's done by biological processes we're not aware of and not in charges of. Yes, we aware of the need to shit but it just happens through the unconscious digestive process. You also said if you have energy and desire you don't need a why. But I think desire is created by having a why. When you have a why automatically you have a desire and then energy tunes in to manifest your why. I don't have a good why, hence I'm not burning in desire and have low energy to really go and do my best

@Inliytened1 Yes I couldn't agree with you more about myself creating my own reality and meaning to everything. But in the construct aware stage, this comes to an end - you realise there is no meaning at all. But do you still go about creating the meaning? Is it possible? I think it should feel fake. I can't tell I'm not at that stage, and also I'm not quite convinced it's worth it to reach for it all...

@Leo Gura hey, thanks for giving me this new perspective... I haven't realised my mind attaches negative meaning to meaninglessness. it just felt natural. Thanks, it's a lot to think about

@DreamScape what is beautiful? It's not beautiful at all to work on self-actualisation. it's extremely hard and it's gruelling dirty work. Especially when we live in a society where this work is not even acknowledged or supported. it's f@cking lonely. So what is this for? just to realise it's meaningless? I know life is beautiful and I have many days of blissful moments where I even cry of the beauty of life and divinity of existence. but WHY try to work on going so far with ego development? I don't see the WHY.

Hi I'm thinking to buy the course as I finally realised i don't have a true, meaningful life purpose. I thought I have but I realised there is nothing that make me thrive in life. Even though I've been improving in coming aware of my emotions and thoughts, I still feel I'm stuck with my old habits and fear to face my own pain. I know I must become the light if I was to make a real contribution to the world and I must face my own darkness to become the light. But I need to know the WHY... How does the course help you to find your purpose? has the course been useful to you?

@silene Yes, it does. every chapter comes with a practical meditation exercise that's extraordinarily simple. They usually take around 5 minutes at the time and are based on the direct experience of your thoughts, feelings and perceptions. I felt it was so very easy and natural to do the exercises. While the book teaches you that there is no ego-self in the first place by giving self-emptying practices and getting you in touch with your true nature as awareness, it also deals with shadow integration. it explains the process of integrating what's been neglected and leads you towards embracing all your emotions. It makes so much sense to start with self-emptying because it helps you to realise there is no one who suffers there is no 'I'; it's just agglomeration of concepts, yet it feels so self. Still, the shadow integration must happen to allow the energy to move through the body without labelling it as bad. It's not an easy practice but it's the way to liberation - TO FEEL IT ALL. Hope you'll find it useful had you decided to get it

@rasheedabill Hi Emotional intelligence and awareness are very similar concepts. They both assume that you can understand and recognise your emotions and can label them; and also not react to them but observe without acting impulsively. I think the difference is that emotional intelligence is a broader concept in which emotional awareness falls into. To be emotionally intelligent you're also able to recognise and understand other people's emotions and can respond accordingly. I would advise to start with the Sedona Method. The book is very cheap, there are other materials available online such as free audio from real courses and emotional chart where you can really learn about all emotions and finally see where they're coming from. Usually, we feel emotions but we really don't understand their origins and can't specify behaviour that manifests from those emotions. I've attached the file for you. it's highlighted by me but you can find a clean version online. I wouldn't advise to jump into some course, especially if you have to pay for it and if you're just starting on this work. There is plenty very valuable material to explore online for free first. Learn about different emotions, sensations and relevant impulsive behaviours. Then start to observe them in you and see where are your weaknesses and the strongest negative emotions you feel powerless. And only then if you want to address something very specific, get some course to complement your work. Though the key is in becoming aware of what you feel, either good or bad, and most importantly accepting that you feel bad and that you can't control some of your emotions and you react. This is universal, you're not alone. All the best, Emotions chart.pdf

Hi Wanted to share my recent experience which feels as upgraded and more tuned in to the source awareness. I can now very clearly identify my emotions and subtle differences in a wide range of emotions. I learnt the whole spectrum of them from the Sedona Method. I can now feel the emotion arising and I can catch and it label it. This really feels like a superpower. I feel as emotions lost their mystery because before I was basically led by my emotions I wasn't able to distinguish between them let alone detach. But now, I'm fully aware of them rising and then disappearing after I label them; or I can redirect them or even hold it for further investigation, for example locating them in my body or seeing why they are arising which of course is all to do with my mind creating meaning and interpreting all the stimuli that I receive. I also have very interesting bodily sensations. For example, the other day where I contemplated this thought 'I am that which I seek', then very spontaneously I felt as I needed to lay down and once I lay on the bed I had this wave piercing through my body as if this deep profound understanding 'I am that which I seek' aligned in my body. Mind-body connection. Does anyone feel anything like this?

Hi Galyna Thank you for your reply and recommendations x appreciated

HI everyone I'm in my final year at the university and I have a huge resistance to do my final assignments which are due in 3 months. I have this huge resistance to just sit and study. I've noticed that fitting my degree into the bigger vision of my life kinda helps to release the resistance but I still struggle enormously as I don't have a very clear vision of my life and also no discipline. I feel like I sabotage myself... I've thought that maybe starting Leo's LP course along the studying could help me? I believe he has some inspiring content there, ect that could motivate me? I also concerned whether the course might be too intensive and time-consuming to take along my university's assignments? Your thoughts are very appreciated x
