  1. Namaste Everyone ?? Thanks Master Leo For This Opportunity, I am so grateful to be able to share my life purpose journey publicly? Thanks again for creating the Life Purpose Course through which I could come up with such a powerful and beautiful purpose? Before sharing my purpose I would like to share my two reasons for creating this journal. 1. To INSPIRE others to live at their FULL POTENTIAL 2. To INSPIRE myself to live at my FULL POTENTIAL when I am down Here is my Life Purpose : Here is my Me Sheet : It's awesome, no? I made them on Canva. It's amazing ?. People, make your Me Sheet such that It Inspires The Ass Out Of You.. IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF PAPER OF YOUR WHOLE LIFE. ITS THE DEEPEST, REALEST, HAPPIEST PART OF YOU on a piece of paper. Really Make It As Beautiful As You Can.. And if you don't have one yet, haven't you done Leo's Life Purpose Course? May I Ask Why? If you already are living a purposeful life then Great. Keep Doing It. I have nothing to say to you. If you aren't living one, I believe I will be able to inspire you to live one. So let me tell you (& myself when I will read it again) where I am in my journey now : I am a freelance conscious copywriter I am learning and have learnt Copywriting through: Master Leo (Copywriting is Philosophy in disguise ?) Sandeep Maheshwari Sir Dan Lok Alex Cattoni Dan Koe They are just great people. I don't want to say anything more. I am currently in the middle of 2 Hour Writer course by Dan Koe and it is mind-blowing? I would say Dan Koe is Leo going all out on digital business. And I can also sense that Dan Koe too has learnt copywriting from Sifu Dan Lok. It's a guess. I live in Akola, Maharashtra, Bharat/India with my parents. . This is my hometown. I have lived in many other parts of my country (Mumbai, Goa, Dehradun, Nagpur) however I love my hometown the most. I will share someday what's so great about it. I have started seeing my parents as my kids and it's a wonderful feeling??. As I realised that we are all one; my whole perception about my mother and father changed. Now even their tricks and manipulations and their unconscious behaviour is beautiful to me. (Doesn't mean that I promote it) And I can also see deep love and deep intelligence in everything that they do. I feel so honored to be their son and I announce this in front of everyone that I would become the greatest son there ever existed. I won't leave them ever. I may shift to other place but I would never distance myself from them. They need my support and also we love each others company so there's no issue. Only issue will be once I will marry, what would my wife want? But there is still a few years left for that..so I will think about it later. Career-wise, We have a family business of edible oil trading however I don't consider it as a holistic business that's why I am currently working on my one person digital marketing agency. I was doing mechanical engineering at one time however I dropped out of it as it was not sparking my interest. I have recently started an YouTube Channel dedicated to inspire and solve problems of the Youth of my nation. I do this as my passion. They Are So energetic and so much talented. I want them to channel their energy, time, intelligence in the right direction. They are all like my brothers and sisters. I am deeply inspired by Leo's Deep Problem Of Marketing video. So currently I am aiming for my hitting my first goal which is to get a Dog and Name Him God. How amazing, no? I remember this insight from Leo that you must start treating yourself as God and stop treating yourself as Dog. I am taking it a bit further. I recognise that the dog I will bring is myself. So naming him God makes perfect sense. I have already decided the breed. Border Collie as they are the among the most intelligent dog breed. I am in a research phase currently. Can't wait to meet him.
  2. That's amazing! Hey before we think about degrees and stuff, are you interested in discussing what physics is? My favourite subject was physics too while I was in college. I didn't know why then but I guess now I know. I suggest we keep it simple and discuss examples as opposed to getting too technical and definitiony. Let's list three things in our surroundings that involves physics and it's concepts - 1. A rotating fan 2. Snapping of fingers 3. Motion of a fly You can choose your own list of three things. Now instead of contemplating ourselves, we are gonna take the help of Claude. Pasting our chat here.. "Hey Claude how's you! I wanna understand what's physics is at the most fundamental level. Please note that I said I want to 'understand' means it must hit me that oh yes ofcourse this is physics. I want to experience it. Rather than theorizing about it. So what I did is I chose three things in my surroundings that involves physics and its concepts - - A rotating fan - Snapping of fingers - Motion of a fly Through these examples, let's contemplate what why how physics fit into this. Basically what's the relationship between these three and physics?" "Claude - I appreciate your desire to truly understand and experience physics rather than just theorize about it. Let's explore these three examples to help you grasp the fundamental nature of physics. 1. A rotating fan: Physics is essentially about matter, energy, and their interactions. In a rotating fan, we see these principles in action: - Energy conversion: Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy of motion. - Forces: The motor exerts a torque (rotational force) on the blades. - Angular momentum: The fan blades' rotation demonstrates conservation of angular momentum. - Air pressure: As the blades spin, they create areas of high and low pressure, moving air. When you observe the fan, notice how it starts slowly and speeds up, how the air moves around it, and how it gradually slows down when turned off. These are all physics principles at work. 2. Snapping of fingers: This quick action involves several physics concepts: - Friction: Your thumb slides rapidly across your middle finger, building up potential energy. - Elastic potential energy: Your skin briefly deforms, storing energy. - Energy release: The stored energy is suddenly released as your finger hits your palm. - Sound waves: The impact creates a pressure wave in the air - the snap sound you hear. - Speed: The entire process happens in a fraction of a second, demonstrating physics at high speeds. Next time you snap your fingers, pay attention to the force you apply, the brief resistance you feel, and the sharp sound produced. That's physics in action. 3. Motion of a fly: A fly's flight is a marvel of physics: - Forces: The fly generates lift to overcome gravity, and thrust to move forward. - Fluid dynamics: Air behaves as a fluid, and the fly's wings manipulate this fluid to fly. - Energy transformation: Chemical energy from food is converted into kinetic energy of motion. - Momentum: The fly's ability to change direction rapidly demonstrates conservation of momentum. - Vibrations: The buzzing sound comes from rapid wing oscillations, another physics principle. Watch a fly closely. Notice its erratic movements, how it hovers, and how it can land on any surface. Each action is a demonstration of physics principles. The relationship between these examples and physics is that physics describes and explains the fundamental principles governing their behavior. It's not just a set of equations, but a way of understanding how the universe works at its most basic level. By observing and contemplating these everyday phenomena, you're experiencing physics firsthand. The next step would be to start asking questions: Why does the fan create a breeze? How fast do your fingers move when snapping? How many times per second does a fly's wing beat? These questions lead to deeper understanding and are the essence of physics - curiosity about how the world around us works." So this is some juice we got through this chat - "Physics is a way of understanding how the universe works at its most basic level." "The essence of physics is curiosity about how the world around us works." Let's continue with its essence - curiosity about how the world around us works. Now this is something we humans have naturally. We have been curious since we were kids. This curiosity however tends to die out when we get answers to everything. Without seeing it/understanding it for ourselves. When we get paradigm locked. I feel so lucky to have this flame of curiosity still alive within me. If you too have this curiosity, please cherish it. Nurture it. Explore it. Live it. Also, if you have noticed yet, we already have gone beyond Phd in physics in a sense.. What? How? So just a few moments before we were curious about 'curiosity' itself. This is also physics. Who's to say what physics is and what it isn't? For me business is also physics..or rather application of physics. As we need to understand how market works, how mind works. So be open to the possibility that the things you are calling shallow might be even greater than the things you consider the highest. Ok I guess that's enough physics for the day. Or shall I say metaphysics 😊 Goodluck with your future brother! I trust that you'll get your shit together..and pursue truth in your own style, in your own physics. And when you do, you will rise above the ashes like a physics phoenix. ⚛️
  3. @Husseinisdoingfine hey Hussein, how are you doing? Please talk to us, we are worried about you 😟 During the toughest of times, all you need is to see a ray of hope..and when you pursue it with all your heart, you'll find the bright sun waiting to welcome you and hug you 🌞🤗 I hope you find that ray of hope 🍀
  4. This was basically that solve the current problem you're in by whatever means possible and then sell a systemic solution for the same. There would be others too who would be struggling with this. You can come up with your own term for it - maybe 'navigate college like a badass' which would be a group coaching where you give youngsters tips, tricks, principles, etc to help them ace their college life in every way - be its studies, personal development, dating, then life purpose, then maybe giving them a clue towards awakening/spirituality. Basically helping them to not make the same mistakes as you did and making them take right steps which would put them on a right track. Isn't it what Leo is doing? Yes and No. While yes Leo is doing it but you can go super-deep in this rabbit hole. You can expand it to tackle each and every problem that a college student faces from budgeting to studies to how to manage parental expectations along with pursuing your passion etc etc and you can do this in a much more intimate way as in conducting zoom meetings, giving them weekly assignments/journaling prompts. How you can go about this is - 1. Solve your own problem first Seek experts guidance Heal emotionally explore pluses and minuses of different careers, getting a degree vs not getting a degree etc Becoming financially independent 2. Learn at the very least basics of online business, marketing and sales There is no lack of knowledge regarding this There are a lot of tools you can use to simplify this process Test and start it.. 3. Improvise and grow Take Feedback and improve your service Hire people, so you can focus on what you do the best Expand by addressing their struggles in an even deeper layer
  5. haha..you make me remember so much about my younger self.. here's one more perspective.. Prove YOURSELF right now that you're smart by making the smartest move one could make.. given the situation you're in. When you will make that move, I don't know about others but you will definitely be amazed by how smart you could be
  6. - read books, took notes, consumed other creators content, took baby steps - went to a 10 day naturopathy healing center, got rid of withdrawls & depression - enrolled in local commerce college just to have a degree - started supporting my father in our traditional family business.. I was super-lucky to have this time of exploration without having to worrying about career/finances - joined other skill based classes in local which made me social, functional and intellectual again - I discovered my passion for philosophy & psychology.. even enrolled in distance learning psychology degree (didn't continue it after 2nd year as I got way better knowledge through YT and other self-study means) - got to know about god/awakening/spirituality which blew my mind again.. but this time out of curiosity rather than suffering - I din't care about anything else other than this - It was like I contemplated on this for most of my waking time..kind of like Self-Enquiring 4 hours daily for years - Did Vipassana, Inner engineering and other Yoga programs by Sadhguru, tried mushrooms and ayahuasca - and finally understood what God, Leo, other teachers were trying to communicate with me - It's that - 'It is what I say it is' or 'I am what I say I am' or rather 'what I choose I am' - Not what God says, but what I say - And that was my moment of realization From Monk-mode to Work-mode - Then what? A field of infinite possibilities opened up for me - I immediately moved out (my parents tried their best emotional blackmail to stop me lol), took a content writing job as writing was a skill I trained to a degree (my cover letter was so good, they didn't even bother asking about my credentials) - Gained experience, confidence and marketing knowledge - Shifted back to my hometown, this time out of genuine desire to support my father and grow our family business. - tried bunch of different stuff too like stock trading, teaching, writing..did Life Purpose course again - Have been having best relationship with parents since then.. not because I listened to them and came back to join our edible-oil trading biz (that I left again as my father found my ideas way too radical) but because I've got the backbone of self-respect and genuine love for my parents. Their manipulations seem like child's naughtiness to me. And I can clearly see their love for me in certain actions. We love spending time with each other. but coming back to our work discussion, - only a few months back finally finalizing to make my career in copywriting and marketing - did a few online courses and have been pursuing freelancing since then - I can't put into words the level of clarity that I have now. My mind works like a flowing river when I intend and focus it like that. Now why did I share my history in such detail and how does it relate to your situation? how you might benefit from this? I will like to mention a few key points that will help you sort things up: 1. Getting into a state of happiness first, before trying to figure it all out Note that it took me far too much time to figure it all out. Heck, many people still haven't figured it out. See what you're saying is that - I will only be happy when I have certainty about my future. And we are saying that - don't worry about it so much as of now, take a chill pill do what needs to be done like confronting your parents and let them know that you don't want to continue engineering or whatever your take is have patience, do the right things - like getting any basic job that pays the bills, explore your interests, etc etc.. hey and even leo's new course is also coming, aren't you excited for it?? If I were at your place I would postpone dying until then 😄 (hey sorry didnt mean to joke about it..i could never know your pain and I wish you fast healing) once you have the right state of mind, right careers will appear in front of you like a shining diamond. You wouldn't be able to miss them even if you try. You will just know that this is the thing for me and I will achieve the highest possible success in this. 2. Making your parents proud vs making yourself proud Please don't even think of taking your life away (now don't say it is automatic.. we do have the ability to direct our thoughts.. please steer your car to make a U turn) I can't even imagine the suffering my parents would go through if I ever did suicide. It kills me to imagine that Dude, you need to first experience what being a parent is like. Only then you will be able to appreciate their love for you. Forget dying, you will wish you could serve them for all your life I am getting a taste of this just by becoming a dog-parent. Being a parent is like nurturing an extension of yourself So what if they weren't able to nurture you the way you wanted? They did the best they could They didn't have the level of information distribution as we have in this age. But that doesn't mean they should be punished for being ignorant. Yes you don't want to punish them, but they will surely experience it as punishment One good idea I will like to share with you that I have as my aim is - how about forgiving them for whatever shit, and becoming parent to your parents? I will make myself proud when I am able to fully do that. In doing that, I don't care if they get ashamed of me.. (honestly I do care, but not more than making myself proud) 3. Unlocking your genius I am cent percent sure that there is a talent within you that is waiting to be honed, waiting to be appreciated I am not saying this to cheer you up or anything, I am saying this with having a deep understanding of how life operates The fact that you were considering taking your life says that you have so much repressed energy that is seeking expression Also the fact of changing careers shows you are wise as Leo mentioned. You like to think far ahead and can't pursue something which you don't see blossoming into something great.. This is good however don't discount the process by which this discovery/unlocking of genius happens. For you to find your niche/field of expertise or whatever you want to call it, it is necessary for you to go through this frustrating phase of dissatisfaction with current career choice.. You see, there's a flow here.. from discontentment to contentment.. So according to me, this current event is a call for you to seek your calling As Leo said in his videos, make finding your life purpose, your life purpose!
  7. Journey from Psychotic to Mystic - This was when I got in touch with my intuition. It said me to 'Drop out this college'. - It didn't say me anything else, just this. Most of my friends, teachers, family considered this stupid. - But I KNEW this is what must be done. - Now I clearly see how it was one of the best decisions I ever took..it opened a whole new world for me - so as I dropped and shifted to my hometown, I shared about my addiction issue with my parents and quitted it totally - then without any invitation or expectation, life brought me the toughest, weirdest, dangerous phase - psychosis - my mind became like a badly cooked soup of - withdrawls/cravings + zero idea of career + internalizing people's negative judgement + unstructured info about psychology/spirituality/self help + radical creative power of mind - to be more precise it was depression, anxiety, mid-life crisis, existential crisis everything together - And I had all the time in the world, so I became attuned to experiencing psychosis - experienced disoriented thinking, making foolish connections between things and events, having a subtle sense of thrill out of this mental mess - I sought a good psychotherapist who could just make sense of my way of sense-making - Instead I had to go to a stupid psychiatrist for the lack of therapists at my place.. who asked us to shift me to psychward - Now belonging to a conservative Indian family, we didn't want this. Me and my family were scared as fuck - And that's when my intuition entered again. So it asked me to visit our maternal grandmother.. she has this power of entering into higher states of consciousness when listening and singing bhajans. - While in that state she kept her hand above my head and I felt this supreme level of calm. It was total blank and peacful - Then she said to everyone, that nothing has happened to him, just continue living like normal and that gave me the courage, confidence and power to improve my life situation - Fast forwarding 3-4 years into the future, I watched Leo's videos like a just born child having infinite curiosity tbc
  8. @Husseinisdoingfine Thanks for being curious and letting me share this.. So where do I begin.. Let's start from the start, Rewinding back 7 years, IIT obsession - - finishing my sophomore year, I was preparing for IITs - top engineering colleges in India that are like ridiculously hard to get into - out of 12 lakh kids who appeared with me, around 2 lakh gets to qualify for the IIT-exam out of which only 10,000 get the seats. It's less than 0.01 percent - i dont remember exactly but my rank was around 25k something. I was heartbroken as I studied pretty hard for it. - my obsession with IIT was so much that I used to study for retaking that exam, even while being in local college. (which was not bad at all) - after a point i dropped out of college as it was getting difficult to juggle both the things. - the second time my rank was good around 7k something but still i needed 4k for my dream college and stream. so i chose another top college. Feeling lost and falling into addiction trap - - I was so tired and bored with studies during my earlier phase that i had no motivation left to do good in college - my social circle was the worst who only knew partying, drinking, smoking - don't even ask my grades, I barely passed and that too through unauthorized assistance lol - honestly I felt stupid, had no sense of direction, no healthy social life - however two good things happened that prevented me from becoming a total disaster - I pursued certification course in acturial science, only because my elder brother suggested it. While I didn't complete it, it triggered my love of learning/problem-solving again. I used to love maths as a kid. Always scoring full scores. Engaging with it again gave me immense pleasure - Second amazing thing that happened was that I tried acid. A friend of friend got it from somewhere. - The setting was not good, nor safe and I don't recommend anyone trying it without experts opinion and considering legal norms. - However one thing it did greatly was putting me out of my negative, limited mindset for a while and showed me 'life' - This sheer intensity of life overwhelmed me. To a degree that I knew I needed to change my course and make a fresh start. Continuing in the next post
  9. Something cool i cooked recently, Harsh Vision Book 2027 One Goal Philosophy
  10. Vision is home. And just yesterday turned 4 months old I am failing to express the joy I have been experiencing after he has come. I only have to say - Thank You Universe!
  11. First of all, wow dude, hats off to your ability to express your emotions so clearly 👏🏻..I can literally FEEL your frustration radiating through my screen. Secondly, I was kinda in a similar situation as you, so I can relate to you better than most here. (I also wasn't able to get into a college I so badly desired 😞) The feeling of being so far behind in your development compared to where you imagined yourself to be is one of the worst. But hey do you want to know a deep truth about you? You may already be knowing this, consider this as a reminder. You have extraordinarily high standards for yourself 🤩 (which is super-amazing btw, but tricky and needs to be channelized properly) Which is why you took time to decide your majors, which is why you are changing your majors again, which is why you considering suicide..because perhaps it's too late to become what kind of person you wanted to be. (its actually not but we will come to it later) Before you decide what next thing you want to do - may it be talking to your family member, discussing your problem on forum, analysing your career options again, do anything harmful in your powerful super-frustrated state etc etc Are you interested in knowing my story in brief of how I went from - Being a 4-times college drop-out a family disappointment hardcore smoking addict feeling psychotic af..(to a point where I thought I will have to spend my life in a mental hospital), being used by my ex teased by friends feeling like a loser etc To Starting my freelance copywriting/marketing business (expecting $5k/per month by December end and $25k/per month in 3 years time) simultaneously working on 2 other big business ideas (vision book ™️ creation service (demo ready and testing now ) plus an absolutely radical addiction recovery app) Exploring song-writing and composing (made around 10 already with each having atleast 4 different versions (psstt..i am using Claude ;)) family's favourite (without being too much successful in my career yet) Still living with my family & cherishing every moment (they know I am moving out soon and we are in this bitter-sweet phase of deep authentic connection🥹) Feeling the healthiest, free from all addictions, most sane I have ever been, living my life purpose to its fullest. Healed toxic dynamics with ex, now we have love for each other, but due to different preferences we have moved on Friends holding me in high regards and started to make high-conscious & rich friends Feeling like a god walking among gods, etc No I am not trying to sell you anything lol 😂 😂 😂 Nor I am trying to prevent you from doing stupid (I fear uttering that word) I am only interested in recognising your inherent talent, sharing it with you and motivating you to pursue it through my example. I will keep it super-brief - 400-500 words maybe. In the end, I will also share a career path that I think will be ridiculously awesome for you. If you don't reply anything along the lines of 'No, not interested' in 15-20 mins, then I will share it. Thanks for reading

  13. @Rishabh R Hey bro, I dint read this before..I understand your situation better now, and I wish you fast healing and improved life situation. I still think Leo's upcoming course will help you immensely. Ps - feel free to pm me for discussing money making 💰🫰🏻/accountability for career growth 📈
  14. @Rishabh R Lol Rishabh dude, do you even know how much $250 in Indian Rupees is? Please don't make India sound poorer than it actually is. When you say you are from an upper middle class Indian family, it implies you are wealthier than 60% Indians. You have a household income of ₹10-25 lakhs per annum (approximately USD 13,500 to USD 33,700 per annum) Even on a lower range, you only need to save 1/5th of your monthly income once. You got a few months to do this. Even if you couldn't do it until then, who's saying to buy on day 1? Wait until you do save it. You do know right that price-value gap Leo offers is DEFINITELY the highest in the industry. Honestly, I believe it's not about the money but lack of belief/trust either in yourself or Leo. (which is completely valid scenario by the way..and you lying is also valid, it's very common buyer's trick) I encourage you to be really truthful to yourself and wise, and then decide about it. Also, I am sorry for using such a tone, but this 'oh poor Indian' mentality brings out the worst in me. I belive we as youth of our nation can contribute in so many ways to fight poverty. The first step being crazy rich ourselves🤑💸 (ethically ofcourse) I am infinitely sure that investing in Leo's new course will help me make more money than ever which is why I am so goddamn excited for this 😊 and it's a 12 week course means it is super duper deep and exhaustive. I would happily buy it even for $2000. Or even more. Because I know it's real value is far far more. And whether you buy the course or not, goddam believe in yourself man! If really money is the only reason, then Leo has already offered to arrange some kind of discount..so generous. @Leo Gura how about having a price range for it - something like $200-$2000 so that people can pay what they can afford. Just an idea💡
  15. SO SO SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!!!!! @Leo Gura can you please cover the topic of problem solving mindset vs creation mindset in it? You did mention this in your life purpose course plus recommended to read 'path of least resistance'. I did read it and it helped me practically too but still I don't get it fully. I am stuck at this point in my understanding - "My problem is that I don't have any problems" (let's call this meta-problem) Now within problem-solving mindset, the solution to meta-problem can look like - but this itself is the problem, so the statement contradicts itself and hence I do have a problem. And its solution is finding problems to solve. But this is again a superficial solution as when I get tired or fail to solve problems, I tend to convince myself that I don't have any problems. And it do feels relieving. But after some time, this becomes a problem. And the loop continues. Now within creation mindset, the solution to the meta-problem may be that - no, finding problems is not the answer. The true solution is to realize that it is not a problem at all. Having no problems needs not to be a problematic state. And this indeed feels empowering and truer. It certainly frees up the energy to focus on vision and life purpose. However realistically speaking, even within creation mindset, problems do tend to arise. For example - right now I am facing a problem of not being able to understand this topic. So what's the catch here? Do we make peace with having problems? and operate from both the mindsets as needed? Or have I missed something and re-read the book again? I remember it talks about structures and all. I would love to dig as deep as possible in creation mindset and if possible live from it always. is there any way to do that? My main goal is to understand 'problem' , 'solution' , 'creation/creativity' at deep levels. Thanks for the consideration.
  16. This is super-interesting and super-badass ❤️‍🔥
  17. My latest piece of writing- A Smoker's Story: Healing The Rift Between Smokers & Non-Smokers & Exposing most probably the biggest scam in the world right now.. For smokers: Reading this will inspire you to quit smoking. For non-smokers: Reading this will make you feel grateful that you never smoked and you will have a different, correct understanding about smoking. I have made a YouTube video: "Quitting Smoking is Easy, Fun & A Very Damn Cool Thing to do ". I recommend you to read what I have written first & then watch the video: So let's start: How big is this scam? According to Statista and other credible sources, Total Revenue projected of tobacco products: 2023: 941 billion$ 2027: 1 trillion$ Imagine this is just in 1 year. And here we are not even considering the medical costs to treat tobacco caused diseases. Plus the human productivity loss. I don't know if you have realized by now or not but, Something even worse is happening. The biggest thing is that our little brothers' and sisters' are falling prey to this. And if you are a parent who is reading this, your kids are being brainwashed. YOU MUST GET SERIOUS ABOUT THIS. AND IF YOU ARE A SMOKER, YOU HAVE ALREADY FALLEN IN THEIR TRAP. YOU MUST LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY. And don't worry I will share a solution at the end, first you need to understand the problem properly. You might be wondering, what does this guy have to share about smoking? Everyone knows that Smoking is injurious to health. And that Smoking causes Cancer, Right? Wrong! Children doesn't know that. Yet they are still watching the movies & tv shows in which they are getting programmed with the false beliefs: "Smoking is cool", "Smoking is pleasurable", "That hero smokes and he seems to be enjoying it". All this happens subconsciously. Being on this forum, I am assuming that you understand the basics of how our mind works. (We are constantly being influenced by our environment. Even I am influencing your mind right now with my understanding. We all must aim to have a correct understanding about everything.) Continuing about smoking: So as children grow up, they are already carrying in themselves a desire to smoke. Now they hear from their parents that smoking is bad, it can cause cancer, it is addictive and you should not do it at any cost. They say okay. And they don't bother about it so much as their desire is still not big enough. However when they grow up even more, they start to develop autonomy. They want to act independent of their parents. They have seen in movies, on streets and in their friend circle: people smoking. They think to themselves; "what's wrong with having just one cigarette ? After all, so many people do it, they must be gaining so much pleasure out of it. I will try it and won't smoke again. My parents won't know. And all's good" Except it's not. Real story begins from here. And then that child smokes his first cigarette. His first cigarette He actually didn't enjoy it. He experienced a nasty feeling while smoking. It caused burning sensation in his throat. He coughed too. He thought to himself: "what's so good about this? Why are people crazy about smoking? Maybe I haven't smoked properly?" (He has heard from his friends that you need to inhale the smoke and not do mouth fa*) Unsure of whether he smoked properly, he smoked again. His friends encouraged him. He smoked 2-3 times more. Still it was nothing. Yet he smoked to join the social circle. Now you (non-smokers) may be thinking that he should have left it then and there and not ever smoke again. He should realize that he is becoming a part of bad people's group. If you are thinking that way, I would like to interrupt your thought process here. I am sorry but you are not thinking straight. That smokers group is bad only from Your Point Of View. From that kid's pov they are his friends. Get it? I hear you screaming: But they are smokers! They are bad people. Smoking is injurious to health. Smoking causes cancer. Yet they are smoking. We shall stay away from them, right? Wrong! Staying away from them causes their smoking to increase. & Smokers are neither good nor bad. Both smokers and non-smokers are great. The only thing is that smokers have fallen prey to a deadly addiction and the majority of non-smokers who are free from this addiction are fueling smokers' addiction instead of helping them get out of it. Anyways more on this later, I was just pointing out that, that kids don't stop there. They want to remain part of the new social circle they have made. So let's continue the story. The Conditioning Has Begun. Now the conditioning process have started. If you are a student of psychology you must have read about Pavlov's dog experiment. If you haven't, I encourage you to go study it. I will share about it here in brief: (this is taken from first Google result: structural learning website) "In one of his famous experiments, Pavlov observed that dogs naturally salivated when presented with food, an unconditioned stimulus. However, through repeated pairings of a neutral stimulus, such as a bell, with the food, the dogs eventually began to associate the bell with the arrival of food." How Pavlov's theory is applied to smokers: The kid has unconditioned responses to his regular life situations such as: 1. listening to some spiritual tune/mantra after waking up. 2. Taking an afternoon nap after studying/working on some project in the morning. 3. Watching TV/playing some games before sleeping. Now what is happening in the kids mind when he is getting addicted to smoking is that: His mind is being conditioned to link smoking cigarettes with pleasure which comes from giving his natural unconditioned response to stimuli. After the conditioning has happened, he is under the illusion that: "smoking cigarettes after waking up is pleasurable; smoking cigarettes after having lunch is required. Smoking cigarettes before sleeping helps me sleep well etc etc." And this conditioning runs so deep in his mind that he will fight wars to smoke that one cigarette when he faces his particular trigger situation. One question you may be having is that: How and why does his mind get conditioned? Who is doing the conditioning? A very intelligent question. The answer to that is no one is doing it. Or to be more accurate; nicotine drug is causing that conditioning to occur. How? See nicotine is a proper drug. It is one of the most addictive substance. It implies that the smokers' brain is seeking nicotine as we seek water. The longer period he smokes, the more addicted his brain becomes. Not only it is addictive but also damaging to the brain. It's not practical to go into details about it here. However I will explain it's big picture. Smokers' brain is addicted to nicotine. It produces constant urges to smoke in 2-3 hours. So the body is craving that nicotine hit. However body doesn't act on it's own. The body takes instructions from the mind. Now what the mind does is that it creates stories in order to rationally justify smoking. A smoker cannot agree that he is caught up into a deadly addiction. His illusory fun will go away if he does that. So there are probably 100s and even more of deceptions which the smokers' mind creates. All this is conditioning meaning his mind is being programmed with false beliefs such as: "I love to smoke", "I am so rebellious and cool to smoke", "I need to smoke after doing x" etc etc. The Truth Is That: Smoking has no benefit whatsoever. None. In fact it is killing them. All of their body parts are getting damaged. Their mind is not at ease. They experience a constant sense of anxiety. People blame, shame and guilt them. Here's the Problem In All This.. So the problem is that smokers are living under their own illusory world which makes them smoke and destroy their physical and mental health. Very few of them will stop by themselves. (I was lucky enough to study psychology, metaphysics & spirituality) Majority of them won't stop. They will discard this information as just some another lecture into why smoking is so harmful. We need a system to make majority of people to quit smoking. And also from consuming other tobacco products. Before going further I will like to address your main doubt: But what does all this has to do with me? (You being a non-smoker) - It's great that you don't smoke however don't assume that your younger sibling/kid doesn't smoke or won't smoke ever. If you have a friend who smokes, then the greatest gift you can give him is this information. I hear you say: my kid will never do this kind of thing. We belong to a well-to-do family. 😂😂No no, I am not laughing at you, I just remembered that my family used to think the same. I am glad though that I had the courage to share this thing with them. Their support proved to be helpful in my quitting journey. Look how-much-ever good you believe your kids/siblings to be, they can still fall prey to the media brainwashing. And because of your hateful attitude towards smokers they won't bother telling you even if they smoke. I am so grateful for my decision to share my addiction issue with my parents that I can't tell you. And when I explained to them the deeper reality behind this, they also said they are with me in calling out this dirty tobacco game. And don't act so humble(some of you) when you are also responsible in this. Very few people call out the people(so called celebrities) who are influencing millions of younger generation to start smoking. People still invest in tobacco stocks. - IF YOU OWN TOBACCO STOCKS, SELL IT ASAP. YOU ARE LITERALLY KILLING PEOPLE. AND YOUR LOVED ONES ARE NOT IMMUNE TO THIS IN ANY WAY. Now you atleast understand what's going on. You can deal with smokers in a different way. More mature way. Now you know that they are just like normal people. They are not bad or idiots or evil or anything . If you have a smoker friend, don't keep on telling them how bad smoking is. They hate that. Instead ask them questions about it. Confuse them. Make them realise that smoking is not a solution to any of their problems. None. Not even one. It gives stress and does not relieve it. For smokers reading this, I know this can be challenging for you. It's a mind fuck! I am an ex-smoker. I exactly understand what you are going through. Don't waste another second and watch my quitting video. It is made for you. Now comes the solution part. This will be interesting. This problem is not as big as it sounds. I do have a solution. The Solution I will probably make a video out of this information. I am not going into details of each idea. The general idea is this: As a smoker smokes his last cigarette, the urges he gets after it needs to be accepted. Urges won't cause any negative effects. Within a few days urges atop arriving as the urges are caused by the last smoked cigarette. The real trick is to catch all the smoking deceptions which a smoker is carrying. And to recognise it's falseness. And see the truth of it. Okay so, here is my contemplation on how to heal the world of tobacco epidemic. More people need to start talking about this scam. It must be clear to everyone that this is not smokers' fault. This is a societal problem. The solution is running marketing campaigns which explicitly debunks smoking deceptions and spread true information. Messages like this: Quitting Tobacco Causes Pleasurable Life. Quitting is Very Easy. Etc. What I mean is that we need to inspire them to quit, not guilt them about it. People sharing their quitting journeys. Complete ban on tobacco usage in movies/tv. On cigarette packages, instead of a helpline number there must be an app link. That app will enable them to quit in 10-15 days maximum. It will have different categories of people and for each category of people there will be information suited to them which will help them understand this addiction and smoking deceptions. More addiction recovery businesses need to grow. This idea of tobacco sales bringing revenue to the government must be looked at. DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING? YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT AND SUCH A DEVIL IF YOU TALK LIKE THIS. I am not interested in talking to you. Smokers especially the young ones need to share their addiction with their parents. This addiction is nothing. Your relationship with your parents is so precious. How can you think that something as petty as cigarettes can come between you and your parents. Smokers need to take charge for their lives. Make a pact with yourself RIGHT NOW that you will Quit This Nasty Addiction ASAP!!! Ok I am signing off. Do check out my video; it goes deeper into this addiction. - Harsh Bagdia Aka Harsh D. Copywriter
  18. So I made a mistake by trying to name my dog: God. While my intent may be pure but it doesn't go well with what God Is. As I contemplated and awakened more deeply here's what I realized: God is Everything. God is nothing. God is the substance as well as the character which is built from the substance as well as combination of all characters. God is Infinity. There's nothing but God. In that sense, Everyone's (every finite self's) name shall be God. To put it simply: Ego Is God. Yet God is not just ego. God is every ego. God is The Superset. I can only bow down now to God. And I see that I am just a spoiled bitch of God I have decided a new name for my dog which is Vision. I will bring Vision home in coming February. Until then I will get all my shit together: work, strong routine, convincing my parents, etc. I have already succeeded in convincing my parents to bring him however they are not as excited as I am. I want to create excitement about him in their mind. I don't want Vision to feel that he is "unwanted" to even a slightest degree. Now coming to something I wrote recently: My contemplation regarding 'Mistakes' Here's my pov on mistakes: - - Mistake is not a mistake if it's our first time making that mistake. It is just ignorance. We can overcome this through learning/awareness/knowledge. - Mistake is not a mistake if it's our second time making that mistake. It is our failure to learn from the first time. We can overcome this through upskilling our learning ability itself. How? 1. By becoming more observant 2. Making more distinctions 3. Behaviour change (Yes, they are taken from titles from Actualized video series about learning) - Mistake is not a mistake if it's the third time making the same mistake. It's arrogance which can cost a lot. We can overcome this by deep self reflection and resolving and dealing with the insecurity masking behind the arrogance. - Mistake is not a mistake if it's the forth time making the same mistake. Either it's someone who is completely sleepwalking. Or it's someone intentionally doing so(have no idea why, maybe for seeking revenge or something 🤔) This must not be tolerated. Through this contemplation; I am clear that mistakes are not at all about punishment and reward - There is consequence for every action we take. - Making mistakes is how we learn and grow. - It's something to be invited and embraced not feared or guilted. - The biggest mistake is not making any mistakes. So now that we have realized this, we have prevented ourselves from falling into the trap of making the same mistake again and again and thus turning into a failure/arrogant/sleepwalker/revenge-seeker. Congratulations to us!! To sum up what I want to say: Make Mistakes. Mistakes are good. It's a process of growth. Make this your mantra whenever you are dealing with fear of making mistakes: Your infinite mistakes are already Forgiven. Now you play!!!!
  19. @mr_engineerhe wants to give this biggest news to us. And about the ending part, Exactly that's why we won't tell them the Truth. We will comfort them. You must read that post again very carefully, it will awaken you. Awakening is the biggest thing . I want to hear more about how they reacted when you told them truth @Leo Gura? 😂 You are right that this is salvation!!!😇and thanks for informing this, I won't make this mistake.
  20. The Key To Achieve Your Dreams: 1. Quit Smoking (No ifs and buts, if you are serious about your dreams this is a must. I can't tell you how much better I am physically, mentally, emotionally after quitting. And it's easy and fun if you use the right method) 2. Have a hierarchy of goals which increases in difficulty level just as in a game. Start accomplishing those goals. Put everything you have got in achieving those goals. 3. Calculate the value of your productive hour rate. Meaning how much is your 1 hour worth when you are working? Calculate this by dividing how much you want to make monthly/yearly for your desired life and then doing the math for one productive hour. Notice productive hour is your peak performance hours. Which are only 3-4 hours normally within a given day. Paste this somewhere you can see often. Through this you can discern if the activities that you are doing are worth your time or not. For example I will be starting my work in an hour and will keep the phone on silent. Even though posting here and giving answers is a high value activity for me, I still choose to do it in my free time. 4. Take psychedelics with the intention of getting clarity about your ideal life and your rough plan to get there. Also may I ask you how are you planning to shift to a western country? Also why do you want to leave India? There are two reasons I asked these questions: 1. India is such a wonderful country 😍 2. It will be easy for you to do business in India as compared to some other country as you already have networks here. You understand the problems of people here. Pick 1 problem. Solve it. And sell the solution. Okay buddy, good luck. I know you will figure it out.
  21. So, this evening I was handwriting(copying word-to-word) CWG's (Conversations With God book) explanation to how God created everything. Just after writing 4 pages(23-26), I got inspired to talk to God myself. I jotted down every thought in my diary. I am excited to share with you this raw and unedited Conversation With God that I had a few hours back😃: Me: God, I am not feeling well. You come, just once. God: I am coming towards you with Infinite Speed. Can you also come nearer instead of moving away? Me: Yes, I can. How? God: Wonderful. Great. Awesome. You can first of all appreciate that you chose to come nearer to me. That would count as coming closer. Me: I appreciate myself infinitely for choosing to come closer to God. God, I hear such voices that you too as Neale is trying to make a book out if this & that no one will be interested in this. God: Are you? Me: No. I mean I don't know. I just want to meet You. God: So don't bother about those thoughts. ONLY LISTEN TO MY VOICE. Me: Again I hear, "All Voices are God's voices. Who will you listen to. You are just bullshitting yourself." God: Am I Clear Now? AM I LOUD ENOUGH? HELLO HARSH, AM I AUDIBLE? Me: Yes God. You Are. Thank You. Thank You God. I am Feeling Better. God: That's Great. Always take Feeling Good as a sign that you are coming closer to me. Always Ask yourself this question: How Can I Feel More & More Better Now? You can do it now and let me know your answer. Me: Okay let's try it; How can I feel more and more better now? Answer: By Taking Action on achieving my goal God: and which is? Me: Which is to bring a border collie Dog home and name him God...I am so so excited to meet him. I already paid the booking amount to the company from where I am purchasing my dog. God: Oh I love it!!! Dogs are such amazing creatures. I bet you will love it when he arrives. Also you will be naming him after me that's inspiring! And Congratulations for moving closer to your goal. I am infinitely excited to meet you as well. You do realize that the dog you will be bringing home and I are one, don't you? Me: Yes God, I do. God: You are such a smartass. So what's stopping you? Take the necessary remaining action steps and achieve your goal. Me: I am just thinking what if something wrong happens God: Like what will happen? Me: What if people will have a problem with me naming him God because "God" is a holy word? God: So what if some people will have problem with it? Have you taken such an impossible task for yourself that you won't let anyone have any problems with you? Me: No, I have not they are free to have problems with me. I wish that if they do they just talk to me about it and then maybe I can help them to resolve their problem. However God why do you use the word "impossible task" when everything is possible. Also you didn't touch on the "holy" part. God: I am loving it that you are asking questions. Questioning is beginning of Intelligence. Me: I heard that quote/truth from Sandeep sir too. God: Yes, I put that thought in his mind. Me: Wow God. You are such a badass. I am so grateful that I am talking to you. God: I know I am and I am grateful for finally you are listening to me. Now let me speak. Don't interrupt, just listen. Me: Sure Godspeed to you, God. God: While it's true that everything is possible; it is also important to know who is saying those words and in what context. There is a huge difference between me saying those words and between you saying those words. Do you understand that you are a part of me which has taken a particular set of limitations which then allows you to challenge your limitations and thus experience yourself as me? Me: Hmmm God: So it would be incorrect if you say that everything is possible for you. And trust me you don't want that. Focus on achieving your goal. Your Truest Desires and Goals form of breadcrumb trail which is a Highway you have taken to reach me. Coming to the holy part; dogs are Holier than me. Have you looked at them? They are the Holiest. Me: but God, you are Infinite Holiness itself God: Yes, I am. And how do you recognise this Infinite Holiness? Me: By recognising this holiness in so called "others"? God: Exactly. I must tell you; your sensei is teaching you well. And I didn't touch upon the topic of holiness before as it's not your problem. It is others' problem that they can't see The God Behind The Dog. They will deal with it themselves. You don't need to worry about them. Like I am talking to you I am talking to them as well. Always. Haven't I told you that you must only focus on what you are being doing and having? Me: But God won't it be considered narcissistic? God: Are we doing this debate again? Look it's simple you cannot control thoughts and actions of others. Many have tried this and still try to do this to this day. It doesn't work that way as life is absolute freedom. Me: This reminds me of the quote/truth by Abraham Hicks: "The basis of life is Freedom; the result of life is expansion and the purpose of life is Joy" God: That is very accurate. Do you know what will help you? Me: What? God: Talking about this goal of yours with others. Then your fear of judgement will automatically dissolve when you will see that others are not that judgmental as you are imagining in your mind. Me: I did actually shared this with a few friends of mine and with Actualized community members in my journal. God: Awesome. Haven't your fear dissolved to a certain degree when you did this? Me: Yes, to a great degree in fact my friends were excited and wished me well for it. Thanks for reminding me of this. God: See I told you. Now Don't Fear and Take Action
  22. Novel Ways Of Awakening People/Souls This is an incident from almost a year back when I was working at a health & wellness company as a content writer. Two brothers of mine (who were then just strange people happened to be working at a same company) were deeply into watching anime. So during a discussion on Naruto, one of the greatest anime of all times written by Mashashi Kishimoto; we had a disagreement on certain ideas in the anime. The anime has a popular speech by Madara Uchiha, main antagonist. While Naruto Uzumaki, protagonist defeats Madara at the end of the series, he never really gave proper reply to that speech of Madara. Luckily at that time I was also contemplating how do I plant the seed of awakening in my brothers' minds and then this great idea striked in my mind and that was to write a reply to Madara's speech. I shared the written reply with my brother saying him: "Naruto within me is talking to the Madara within you" (Those who have watched the anime will understand the emotional significance of this) and after reading that his heart melted and he told me that he wishes to see the world with my lens. And it was the best admiring statement I had ever received in my life. I don't know what exactly he went through while reading this, however he definitely faced some of his inner demons and moved closer to The Truth. So here's what I shared; Naruto’s Reply to Madara’s Speech -By Harsh Bagdia Wake up to reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. The longer you live, the more you realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering and futility. Listen, everywhere you look in this world, wherever there is light, there will always be shadows to be found as well. As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist. The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace, initiates war and hatred is born in order to protect love. There are nexuses causal relationships that cannot be separated. I want to sever the fate of this world. A world of only Victors. A world of only peace. A world of only love. I will create such a world. I am the ghost of Uchiha. By- Madara Uchiha Naruto’s reply to Madara: Madara: Wake up to reality! Naruto: Hello Dear Madara,Waken up. Now? Madara: Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. Naruto: Oh no no silly, everything always goes exactly as planned in this blessed world. We may not understand this by our current level of consciousness but I am assuring you that it is the case. Everything is designed perfectly in the most holistic & loving way through Infinite Precision & Intelligence. You do not know this because you have forgotten your real nature. Look me straight into my eyes; you will know your real nature. Madara: The longer you live, the more you realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering, and futility. Naruto: Again wrong dear. But I see that you are tired of falsehood and disconnection with Who You Really Are. For me, The longer I live, the more I realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are sheer joy, love, happiness, and preciousness. And not just joy, love, happiness, and preciousness BUT INFINITE JOY :) INFINITE LOVE :) INFINITE HAPPINESS INFINITE PRECIOUSNESS It can be the same for you if you remember your true self. Madara: Listen, everywhere you look in this world, wherever there is light, there will always be shadows to be found as well. As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist. Naruto: Yes you are right, duality exists when we look at the surface. If we dive deep, you will find the Ocean of Love where you can’t distinguish any one thing from another. All dualities collapse. Only Love remains. Only You remain. Only Peace remains. Only Infinity remains. Only God remains. Only You remain. YES, YOU REMAIN. YES GOD REMAINS TOO. How? Because YOU ARE GOD. Ta-da!! No, I am not playing word games, I know this is serious stuff for you & that’s why I am sharing this truth with you. Madara: The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace, initiates war and hatred is born in order to protect love. There are nexuses causal relationships that cannot be separated. Naruto: Is wanting to preserve peace really a selfish intent? Isn’t peace the most selfless thing ever.? Also, love needs no protection. Love cannot be harmed. Ok, let me make it experiential for you - Close your eyes and remember this phrase - I AM. Let all other concepts go. Just dwell in I AM. You are. You always were, you always are, and will always be. This is the ultimate truth I am guiding you towards. YOU ARE ETERNAL. CONGRAGULATIONS!!! YOU ARE INFINITE, DARLING. YOU ARE THE SOURCE OF EVERYTHING. I am just a reflection of you. Who you are is beyond anyone or anything could ever describe. “I AM” is the foundation for world peace. Madara: I want to sever the fate of this world. A world of only Victors. A world of only peace. A world of only love. Naruto: I know Madara you want this. I know your love. I know your heart cries for love, peace, and victory for everyone. What you gotta now do for this is - Choose the reality you wish to experience. Do not want it. Saying that you want it makes it true that it is something not here right now but in the future somewhere and you experience the ‘wantingness’ of it. Madara: I will create such a world. I am the ghost of Uchiha. Naruto: And I am The Hokage of Leaf. And I am here to remind you that - you already created such a world. We are living in it right now. Thank you for creating such a beautiful world. How will I ever appreciate you for doing such a magnificent task? Words fall short at this point. Will stop here. With deep gratitude & gratefulness in my heart. Thankyou Madara, Much Love ? Credits: 1. Leo Sensei @Leo Gurafor transmitting awakening into me. And Also for the words "TA-DA" 2. Actualized forum members for discussions, Q/A's, repeating again and again for better understanding, and for being supportive always.
  23. @HimanshuThank You And Same To You. Also Thank You For Introducing Copywriting to me.
  24. @vibv Thanks for reminding. Yes, sure I won't forget. And even if I do by mistake, I know YOU will be there to remind me like you did now? And that's why I wrote that I am a student of students..means I am a student of you all. I am placing my bets on you all as you have more experience and also you know Leo's limitations better than me..so. (Honesty speaking I don't believe he has any?) About transcending any and every teacher I don't know. Maybe at some point. I still have a long way to go and I am having too much fun?
