Yes, this could be interesting

@Steven come on, relaxe a little, where is your sense of humor..? Maybe you can employ it?

@Steven You don't take this point issue seriously.. Or, do you? This would scare me

@Mess I've always made the experience that when I'm passionate about the stoff I learn, I have no problems with it, it's kind of flowing into me.. .. From this point of view.. If I were you, I would question my motivation..

@Nomad it's really funny to read your messages, they are kind of shaking everybody here, but stay aware otherwise you will end addicted and have bad trips in which Leo's following you everywhere you go PS: i gave you a few points back because I don't know what happens if one has to many minus points?? Perhaps he implodes?? Surely nobody would wish this, right?

congratulations, I'm fine with it.. Besides, i never claimed the opposite and I don't feel as a victim at all.. Maybe I'm rather like the premier minister in the video.. Who knows?

@Nomad .. yes and everybody has the right to express what he or she thinks, right?

@kellyyhengg .. well my english understanding is not that good.. but it seems you are really nervous and disoriented at the moment, right? What if you first try to focus on your breath and calm down, than do one think after an other, step by step and second, focus on the things you are doing at the moment and enjoy them. Smile to yourself as often as you can. Meditate. You need to stabilize yourself because nobody would like to support you all the time.. Take the help you find outside, maybe also from a professional.. But look for inner answers too, they are often the best.. I can't imagine that time plays such a big role in a relation ship, but rather the quality of the time you spend together. What do you do to make the shared time with him pleasant? Are you even still able to enjoy the time together or are you just complaining..? As long as you don't feel good alone, you will have serious problems to live in a relationship

@Tineil Riley I lately saw this short video with Obama Only a few seconds it tell you so much about style and respect.. It's amazing isn't it?

@kellyyhengg What if you began to find things you like to do by yourself, where your partner isn't automatically involved. You could try to go for little walks in the nature, begin to play an instrument, make sports, meet friends and stay present while you are doing so. If thoughts appear about your boy(?)friend you can acknoledge them, be grateful that you love him and let the thoughts go (because what comes up isn't real, it's only a thought).. and you know, you will see him later.. Try to find out what you expect him to do for you in order to make you happy and make it yourself for you.. Be your best lover at each level.

@ZenDog Why do you do this? I don't know what those affirmations are about, I probably didn't see the vid.. But It can't be meant that you have to make some affirmations in order to get something, like religious people had to pray the chapelet in order to come into the paradise.. What ever Leo said in this video, it is surely a means to go further in your purpose and not to get stuck in it.. Perhaps you could watch it a second time and find the more profound sense in it?

I wake up at 6:30 am and stand up 20 or 30 minutes later. Have usually breakfast with my partner (big bowl of herbal tee, 2 or 3 cup of coffee, wholemeal toasts with butter and jam, sometimes a soft boiled egg). The days i have to work in the morning, i go and teach french in some companies. The other ones, I take my time and read, here or a few pages in a book (currently "integral meditation" by Ken Wilber) I don't have a strict program because, first I don't like it and second my work shedules as a free lancer varie a lot. But normally during the day, I make sport (jogging, gym, dance, biking or walking, depending on the weather or my mood), look at some spanish or english videos in order to improve my level. I take time for meditation (30 to 60 minutes), talk to my partner, go working or make preparations for it, fix the flat and sometimes the garden.. and instead of watching television (what I used to do in the evening) I play the guitar or read a little.. Concerning my nourishment, I try to find a good compromise between healthy and tasty food in order to appreciate fully the things I eat (doesn't always fonction :-) It's a lot and sometimes the days aren't long enough because I also rather follow my lust and joy than the "program" so one day I need more for one thing and neglect an other or vice versa.. Maybe it's to slak for a lot of people and surely not straight enough for professional success.. Maybe one day I will regret it? We will see

Hi Franco, first of all it is definitively not your job !!! It can't be "your mission" Well i'm sure i would feel responsible too and of course would try to help because of familly etc.. But you have to take care of yourself, you can listen to him, give him some advises, sure.. Do you know "Sergi torres", he's spanish and a very good spiritual teacher but maybe to abstract to be understood when one is under drugs..? He has to find a way out by himself or/and with a doctor. Besides, I hope you know that people who need drugs are often not the same as before and they would do anything to get some drugs or what ever: promess, cry, tell you what you want to hear and so on.. So i hope you will take care of you first

@Neo yes it can be summed up in a few words, right? .. Maybe like almost every simple true aspect of reality.. But do you feel it differently? Would you explain it in other words?

Thank you for the time you spend answering me No i don't But my impression is that a lot of mental illnesses are due to any hurts, which can be lessen with love and help to careful openness. Besides there are a lot of people which even don't know that they are ill (inclding myself perhaps ?) Sure, i wouldn't like it . Even though i can't imagine that i would thing the world is bad, even not that you are bad.. I rembember a few situations, i don't realy want to expose here, which i really didn't appreciate at all, either.. But i don't remember that i had those kind of thoughts.. Only: how can i come out of this?? No judgement in it, right? So this may be a question of mentality.. Don't know.. The perception of the pain can lead you to grow, as deeper the pain as higher you can grow.. (Or fall deep, if you don't find a way out?) Hope you don't think i see it superficially, i actually don't, i just don't know how i can share a certain strongness to others.. that's all.. But in this field, i feel helpless.. I wish you the best

look into yourself.. How do you resonate with that statement? Is it worth commit youself to it? How many answer are you waiting for to make a decision? My (current) opinion is: love is enlightenment. Love everything, plant, animal, every person but of course also yourself. If you only experience a short time of unconditional love with whom or what ever, you see that it doesn't matter anymore if this is enlightenment or not. Well i may be completely false, but i don't care So please don't believe it, let yourself open and love, what's the risk?

Perhaps your will to go deeper is the obstacle. everything you see or hear are like seeds spreaded in your mind. Even if you have the feeling, you don't do that much for the moment, it grows with every step you go further, every video, every meditation, every encounter.. It doesn't seem to be a real change at the moment, like each learn process you go through at the beginning. The key is to be confident, in you and in life. If you don't enjoy the meditation wich you make at the moment.. Try another one.. There are so many possiblities, so much joy, don't limit it to a means to an end

you're wellcome

letting go is challenging and so relaxing at the same time, i haven't found what i was looking for from Adyashanti.. But i stumple upon this (you understand spanish don't you?) Actually it doesn't really matter which video of him you look at, he always repeats that every feeling is a part of aliveness.

@abrakamowse perhaps if you surrender to that sad feeling, the answer you need will come from there ?.. Transcending the need to analyse it ?

just look one of his videos and you will understand that if you sum up, you lose a lot, more important as what he says, is how he says it. His whole body seems to be in perfect harmony with his soul and his mind and it calms, inspires and teaches at the same time

@Isle of View thank you so much for sharing those statements..

perhaps is "observe your breathing" better. Stay in your body, observe what kind of thoughts comes up.. You may understand yourself better and meanwhile, your thoughts don't ride you and take you where they want anymore. Hope it makes sense for you. Less abstract maybe: if you make conversation, try to ask a lot and be attentive of what they answer. So you can let speak, relaxe, but still concentrate on what they say. You will see it's so agreeable, you will have a great feedback because everybody miss to be listen to.. Don't you think so ?

@Saitama i never heard before that it can be an intellectual consideration Why don't you take it as it comes..? You can stay alert and see what happens. Perhaps, you meet someone and live it out, look how it develops and how you feel thereby in order to act respondingly.. Kind of living your life without calculate that much

@Kelley White hi Kelley, i watched that video because i thought i'll understand how people with serious psychic problems see the world in order to eventually be able to find a way to help.. Well, if i understand it rightly, you can summerise her statement like this: Once you are in this state, you see the world as an evil and nasty place where you want to escape from.. right? Her idea is you than have to go a scary way and meet and acknowledge your feelings so everything will be allright.. I'm not sure, but i don't think it would motivate me..? I mean, what's the point ? How did it resonate with you? Could you explain it? I also miss a little the fact that everyone of us has to be - or become - responsible of our live, that there is no bad world outside.. It's only an interpretation, a reflection of our thoughts isn't it?
