These are some good questions. I think it depends some on your definitions of these words and the words and beliefs you’ve used to build your model. You could perhaps label beliefs as “unconscious” but it’s actually sort of a tricky label to give them because it usually implies that it is unreachable. I think “unresolved” is a better word but make no mistake all those beliefs that you maybe haven’t had a frank and honest conversation with yourself about aren’t in some far off distant place, they are shaping your life here and now and can be accessed here and now if you are open and willing enough to inquire about them with yourself. It just takes a bit of practice and walking in the right direction So, “a guy who believes he isn’t worthy because of something buried in his unconscious mind “ Let me slow you down here. The belief here is “I believe I’m unworthy.” Now usually what you will sneakily do is manufacture evidence and look for every way in your life that you believe confirms this. It’s confirmation bias. You will focus on your dating life and either point to it as evidence of being unworthy or you will self sabotage it, and assuming the outside world all aligned with how you believed it should be, which occasionally it does, say you get some beautiful girlfriend, you would then move towards something else to use as evidence to justify this belief that you aren’t worthy. Maybe sabotage the relationship or say you’re unworthy because you could be with someone who is better, etc. You basically need to genuinely question with your heart these beliefs. Is it possible for a person to be unworthy? What does that mean? Lacking value? Unworthy of love? Is this belief even true? When did you first choose this belief? As a child? Why? Who told you this belief that a person is unworthy because of their relationships? Relationships define people’s worth? “or all of those limiting beliefs are conscious and appearing on the surface” what you usually will hold at one time is one thought but it all traces back to the core beliefs, it’s like a loose string on a sweater, it holds together this seemingly useful story but when you pull at a loose thread it starts to unravel. “why can you be feeling bad without there being any apparent cause on the surface?” This is where you need to really slow down. Are you sure there isn’t an apparent cause? Don’t focus on feeling bad, speak it into words “I feel a painful emotion right now because I believe _______.” Finish it. Just try to be as honest with yourself as you can be. Keep in mind though you may not actually want to be so honest with yourself at first because you see obfuscating reasons as a sort of self protection. Better the devil you know. That’s the sort of inner child reasoning you need to educate yourself on and how to parent yourself from these old emotional coping patterns. The mind always wants to sit in the familiar and would choose that over venturing off into the unknown, “feel bad now to keep myself safe now, if I do this first I won’t be hurt.” But this does not work and will never work, we gotta move away from this. You are def right that low blood sugar and sleep also affect our balance and harmony. Life is sorta like a dance or playing an instrument. There’s different moving parts we need to be responsible for and manage. It isn’t about perfection and of course if you are low on blood sugar or sleep it can cause you to stumble a bit but remember, don’t use that as evidence for your “unworthy” belief, see it as a natural part that needs your care and attention, don’t blame yourself nor try to get out of being responsible for these different factors of wellbeing. I would say at the core it always starts from belief though. When you resolve a lot of these limiting beliefs like being unworthy (it’s impossible to be unworthy) a lot of stuff just falls into place, you handle turbulence better.

They unfold within your body, they are created from your beliefs and perspectives. You felt sad because behind the emotion you hold some belief/perspective about life/yourself on why this song is sad and what you believe about something. Just honestly ask yourself, I feel sad in this moment because I believe ________. Finish the sentence. Keep asking. You’ll get your answer.

I think the concept of the unconscious mind is largely misunderstood and steeped in needless mysticism. People always wanna play up what they don’t understand. There is the mind and your beliefs, and you can make your beliefs and story entirely conscious and entirely crystal clear as you start to trust that being honest with yourself is the safe and right thing to do. From a place of openness you can understand yourself.

@HopefulMan Many things. It doesn’t quiet make sense when you’re looking at it from a place of really wanting everything to be different, because usually when we want to change something about ourselves the intention behind it is coming from old childish falsehoods. So I think it’s not so much been a journey to change myself but more so shed the lies and falsehoods. That in and of itself brings about all sorts of really subtle but life changing experiences. You will start to think more clearly, feel grateful for your life, be happy that you are who you are, unique as you are.

I moved to Asia (Thailand) and I heard the supplements here are real good. Do you guys have any to recommend for mood, energy, clarity and overall wellbeing? I wanna stock up on stuff while I’m here.

To answer the question: Yes of course you can see and understand them clearly Now whether or not you are conscious and responsible enough to go against your biases and near sided desires is another question

It's not about lifestyle. It's about control.

I get the sense you kind of know you already know the answer to your own question All relationships come with boundaries It’s not about being perfect in relationships but finding a harmony where both can flourish together. We have to be honest with ourselves. Relationships rarely match the ideas and aspirations we have about them in our heads, they change, they are prone to end for any number of reasons. They also are their own important aspect of life where you can create love and build something stable with other people. There is a lot of joy and wonder and surprises in that.

Spirituality has its Mt Everest aspects to it. I consider radical state changes with psychedelics to be of that nature. I don’t think you necessarily need to go deep into all that to live a good and true life. You most definitely don’t need to in order to cultivate wisdom and live authentically. Spirituality is not a competition where it’s a race to the top.

It’s actually very simple but it isn’t necessarily easy nor something that will unfold exactly how you think it should. Basically you will almost always want to come back to the familiar, we see this as safe but it’s sorta an illusion, usually emotional and childlike reasoning rings us back to states we want to obfuscate their cause because it’s easier to live in a sort of comfortable self chosen ignorance than venture off into the unknown. Changing your identity is just venturing into the unknown and trying new things, embracing change, being open. You will learn from resist this so all you must do is take a deep breath, come back to what is true now and most importantly give yourself love, support and acceptance for wanting to go back and sabotage yourself or return to the familiar. Do not beat yourself up. You need to be there for yourself and know deep down there’s boundless wellbeing and guidance in the present. You don’t have to do this perfectly. Just start inching a bit towards what you wish to be and create and whenever you start to sabotage or feel bad comfort yourself. that’s all.

Hopefully we can learn from Hungary on how to recover from these hybrid wannabe dictator regimes. The word is watching Hungary and their next move.

He’s a powerful autist that can def teach you things to reach modern success but you need to have boundaries and know what your principles are and be firmly rooted in your own truth around such people or you will fall into all the traps he has and possibly spend a ton of money on his products that would of been better used elsewhere. If you have the cash to burn, go for it. If you’re really desperate sometimes blowing your cash on a guy sorta creates an artificial fire under your feet to create more of a vision for your life. Really at the end of the day all he is teaching is for you to create a vision for yourself and retrain yourself to focus and not waste time. I find his free videos that are intentionally shot to be more than enough to learn from him. But maybe you will find his paid stuff with it?

Precisely. This is not a situation where there is a lack of knowledge, ideas and life rafts. Plenty has been thrown towards them.

I’m in the process of reading a book called “Thick Face, Black Heart.” I found it on Leo’s book list but started reading it all the way through a week ago. Honestly it’s probably a life changing book for me. I read only a handful of books a year and on average I come accross 1 book a year or so that it’s powerful and just the knowledge that I need for my next steps. Leo calls it a book for success and for cutting out people pleasing but also it’s much more than that. It actually has a powerful spiritual component to it and is steeped in Taoism. Thick face = able to shield yourself from caring what others think of you, including your own inner critic. Black heart = Able to move through the world ruthlessly without misplaced compassion or care for others. A lot of people who are successful in this world have this, and in and of itself thick face black heart is a tool. It can be used without conscious and for total disregard for everyone but it need not be. The book teaches how to use it selflessly and for the greater good of all, which for me in life has been hard. Especially for us spiritually sensitive people that come to places like actualized we are probably an odd bunch who are a little different than the masses. We can be overly sensitive and sometimes sacrifice ourselves for others in the name of spirituality and selflessness. This book corrects this and brings you back to a harmony where you know how to stand up and pursue what you want consciously. any Thick Face Black Heart practitioners here?

Bro hang in there. I see you post around here and I can tell you’re a good guy. Keep going, the world needs people like you.

That has not been my experience with psychosis. It is emotional logic and self deception dialed up to the max. It is quintessential alignment with falsehood.

neo advaita, gurus, ashrams, seeking , recycled spiritual language (“ego death, oneness”) the same spiritual teachings with the same language, ever consider there are new teachings so radically different and life changing that ultimately lead you to the unexplainable but you’re so conformed to the language and models of popular gurus that you never thought there’s awakenings that have hardly been written and exist outside your understanding? Imagine discovering a new trial to the top of Everest? all a levels of conformity
