@IJB063 I'll answer that He paints you as a specific sort of victim and tells you that you have the predisposition to be "this victim" and tells you to take responsibility but that is its self a victim thing because you bought into the fact that you are "this victim", to begin with, and that the only way to deal with it is through following his step by step.

@Leo Gura Yeah but I as Jordan am fucking people over and I am making this post demonizing "him" so I can help people not get fucked by me as Jordan. Leo what is the alternative then? To not point out his shit?

@Leo Gura Please If you can share with me the limitations you see in my world view? Is it that I judge him unknowing that he is literally me?

@IJB063 That last part is really beautiful almost made me cry.. thanks for sharing that Personally I limited myself a lot using Jordans Idealogoies a couple of years ago and it created a few neuroses in me that I had to consciously unwire and I'm upset that a 15-year-old me fell into his delusions, so I am a bit resentful about that. So in my eyes discrediting and calling him out is justified cuz like many others Im sure, I suffered from his devilry and world paradigms.

@Leo Gura Maybe I am projecting myself onto him but let me ask you this, doesn't his lack of relaxation and continuous nervousness show that he himself knows at least in a confused manner that the shit he says is deep down untrue?

There is being a devil, and then there is being a devil knowingly and secretly and then convincing others of your devilry so that you deny your devilry the last one is in my eyes more devilish because you've not only fucked yourself over but you fucked, in Jordan's case, millions of others over as well.

@Leo Gura Yeah, how can your viewers know? There literally is no way other than first-hand experience that can either agree or disagree with you. I've been watching you and the stuff you do for quite a bit and my interpretations of your videos are way off from the actual experience of nonduality. I think its entirely possible to come to the same conclusion but have it be explained in two different ways. Your videos and work, in the end, is a result of just you poking a stick at god and seeing how it behaves back and from that interpreting what happened. Your interpretation is not the end all be all, and other people can have different interpretations.

@TheUniverseIsLove Seems like you dont have the experience of enlightenment but rather the ideology of it.

I am thinking under the assumption that ADHD is as follows: a lack of concentration, lack of clarity of thought, poor working memory function, too vivid an imagination, simultaneous perceptions. If you think about it, the symptoms of ADHD come to life when one is tasked with the basic challenge of reading a book. To properly digest the information written in a book, one must use concentration as a means of doing that, and since books are not one idea but a collection of ideas that build on top of each other to form a bigger picture, one must persist in digesting idea after idea, page after page in order to get the message of the book. Reading books trains your ability to focus, your ability to control impulses of doing something else (getting up and leaving), your working memory, and your ability to not feed energy into irrelevant tasks. Neurofeedback training basically functions on the principle that you can learn to use your brain differently, usually using your concentration circuit, and as a result, get into the habit of using your brain differently in your day to day life, I don't see why using your brain to achieve the task of fully digesting a book in a consistent manner where concentration is the means by which that happens doesn't also put you into the habit of using your concentration circuit. I doubt that if you go to a psychiatrist with an ADHD problem that you would be prescribed reading 15 book a month because psychiatrists prescribe things that statistically work, in other words, since people read books so little and being tasked to read a lot of books is very time-consuming most people don't do it and therefore, statistically, prescribing people to read doesn't work. My father is a Ph.D. doctor in medicine and his first year studying he told me he had great difficulty with reading due to his ADHD problem, but over the months it became effortless he said. Now take in mind that a medical student's life mostly consists of digesting, conceptualizing and memorizing difficult biological models so this is really good training, but I believe the same gain in concentration ability my father developed can be developed by reading tons of books. Has reading books improved your concentration ability? please post me your answer.

@Hansu I can understand where you're coming from, but concentration shouldn't only be something that happens when your survival needs are being met or potentially being met (things that peak your interest). The reason for that is that in life Im going to be facing seemingly very mundane things that should require my full attention, and I should have the ability to concentrate independently of how fun the situation is. Also have you noticed that concentration is a deeply spiritual thing. It allows for true and clear perception, which is going to play a big role in self-discovery or enlightenment.

@Espaim When you are reading, are you setting the intention to focus or are you reading and whenever you focus, you focus and when you don't, you don't? Let's be more specific. When you are reading a sentence where your eyes and thoughts are following the words but your mind is somewhere else, do you just go along with that or do you try and focus your mind and align your attention with what your eyes and thoughts say?

@Chumbimba @Hansu @Austin Actualizing @Espaim Thanks for the input

I had taken ADHD meds yesterday and done some serious introspection work, I was able to achieve levels of observation, clarity, and focus I never experienced before in my life, in fact I became aware of the fact that I could literally create any emotion I want at will (fear, love, powerlessness, powerfulness, guilt...) Sadly the meds wore off and I could see the clarity lose its ground and distractibility kick in. The experience of ADHD is like being in a cinema where you're watching multiple movies together and hearing every movie's audio track together, I don't need to explain to you why it could be hard to understand or know whats going on in any of the movies in front of you. This inability to perceive accurately what's going on within you and around you due to the uncontrollable distractions really hinders ones ability for personal growth. My question is, any of you got a cure?

@Hansu I also have this question

@Leo Gura

This post is not well structured but rather has the structure of "rambling". Thoughts feel like they are confusing and are not true. They feel like they are grounded in nothing, and they are floating like air. They do not represent reality at all. And I'm always feeling confused as a result. If I think about who I am, I become confused about who I am. If I think about who someone else is I am confused about who that person is. In conclusion when I think about something I become confused about it. Is this a problem of perception? IQ? Leo spoke of awareness in one of his videos as being the degree of accurate perception, and right now, nothing I perceive seems accurate in other words true. And yes I've seen Leo's video on "what is truth" and the "illusory nature of thought" That confused me more as I thought about it more and more.

@Annoynymous In my opinion, people who use astrology as a means to understand themselves are just people who aren't looking inwards to understand themselves. Ultimately no one or system or set of beliefs can tell you who you are, that is something you must do alone fully. Astrology can be useful or It can also be used to create limitations for what is possible for you, with that said, scientifically, it has been debunked several times over.

@TDW1995 Social anxiety is fear. You resist a certain outcome. You are afraid of a reality and are trying to resist it. In the case with social anxiety it may be that you are resisting “not being liked”. My advice is to develop mindfulness through practices like meditation and then to expose the underlying fear/resistance that pops up in social situations. Tip: you have to socialize a lot, and fail a lot. Tip 2: use psychedelics to contemplate that fear.

@electroBeam hahahah This is very true. Methods shouldn't be held back from people because It seems absurd or out of the norm. If a method works for one person it can work for another. Now that other might be rare to find but the method shouldn't be held back from being revealed to him. That being said, a warning after the dehydration method would have been a more cautious and mature way of giving that advice. Thanks anyway for your input

@billiesimon I might be projecting and judging here. But it feels like you want to be on the edge of something. On the edge of discovering some new aspect of reality. There is a positive: You are curious. You will look for new things and discover new things. There is a negative: You want to be a discoverer you value that and you feel special and a tingly sensation when you feel like your on the edge of a new technology, you will lie to yourself and try to manipulate reality to make it seem as if though you are discovering something despite that not being the case. Any how. Im unsure about what I just said and I feel pretty insecure about writing this but its my opinion.

@PlayTheGame I have the same problem as you. Just practice mindfulness that's the way to go about. Trip on psychedelics every now and then. You will slowly grow your awareness. There is no shortcut here dude. If you wanna calm down monkey mind you have to become more observant aka mindful and that takes time. There is just no way around it. Start now (Mindfulness practice), because if you don't you only delay it. See which mindfulness practice works for you. Kriya yoga, mindfulness meditation, mantra meditation, islamic prayer... the list goes on a long long way. But pick one and persist with it. Ofcourse its hard to pick one out of the hundreds of mindfulness/awareness/observation practices. Figure that out for yourself.

@Leo Gura Why couldn't you know? The reason rocks, water, sand don't trip you out is because their molecular configuration does not act as a neurotransmitter. WHY? well, this is how reality manifested itself. Through the randomness of existence these molecules (psychedelics) came to life and it just so happens to be compatible with the human brain. Now randomness is probably not random at all but calculated articulation of reality or in your words "God". At least that's what feels true to me. So, in other words, the reason these psyechedleic molecules are the way they are is the same reason you are the way you are or a rock is the way it is (reason: the creation process of reality), it just so happens to be the case that these molecules when transported into your biological brain you start to trip. Same thing with medicine. Why do different herbs and mixtures or plants trigger different behavior in the body that can initiate healing? (cause a shift in behavior). There are probably other psychedelics on different planets in other galaxies that give you a much better trip than 5-MEO or DTP. Their molecular configuration could produce a much more optimal state of observation.

The content of my thoughts is mostly "judgment about my thoughts" I get lost in this. It stems from deep-rooted judgementalism and this is a very big obstacle for my awareness/observation/focus. I cannot focus on anything, I always end up conceptualizing what I'm focusing on and I end up not knowing what it is I'm focusing on. This has left me feeling somewhat out of touch with reality. This meta-thinking I'm always doing is evaluating the value of each thought. This stems from a deep and crippling self-consciousness. In other words, this is self-judgment as a result of trying to identify what's wrong with me and why I'm not valued. I find it difficult to be in 1 steam of thought rather I'm always in multiple. I have no focus. What is happening here? I can't seem to develop my awareness because of my getting lost in thoughts all the time. I can't seem to see in realtime why I'm thinking the thoughts but I can always after the fact conceptualize my thoughts and why they were there. I should also mention I have been very lonely (Lack Of Bonding) for the past 6 months since I moved out of my parents' and Im starting to feel like Im losing touch with reality. Please tell me what the problem is and what I should do about it.

The following is a huge newbie trap. And a newbie is defined as someone who hasn't understood this, it doesn't matter how long they've been doing personal development. Not tailoring your own path of personal development. Not looking at what actually works for you and what doesn't. Big hint a lot of stuff won't work for you at least not in the way it works for the person presenting it to you. Become a scientist! Experiment with different habits and mindsets see which ones work for you and which ones don't. The path to self-actualization is the most personal thing there is, meaning.. that no two people have the same self-actualization journey so choose to live and focus on your own. This experimentation requires discipline as with personal development, progress is rarely made in a short amount of time. Persistence is key here Sometimes you'll try out something that will waste your time, but you won't know that unless you go all-in on this "something". The benefit is that you will acually discover what works for you and what doesn't. There is no shortcut. So just get started already

I feel bad for the guy, he seems to have justified his schizophrenia with spirituality, I'm not sure about this conclusion though. This guy seemed like he was having a rough time before he got into psychedelics, and was using those psychedelics as some form of escape/exploration then he took some high dose of mushrooms and BAM! Paranoid Schizophrenia! You could just tell that as he is speaking, he seems to be in conflict. Voices in his head? Doubt? Neurotic self-consciousness? Be careful doing psychedelics guys.
