A feature of life is counter-intuitive. There are other descriptions of life, like life is a maze

Life is a Practice Meaning you can't do it once and expect results Be prepared to do it every-time the issue comes up Ex: mindfulness when feeling negative being mature when the other is immature being mindful when you are triggered self-compassion when hurting I think though as time goes on, you get much better at doing it. "Better" means more adept with tons of distinctions It does begin with an intention, followed by a daily practice

Being great is less about YOU but about the actions you take Ex: when playing video games, if you want to be a top player, its about just doing things a top player would do. Surprisingly, most people don't do them, even though its right there in their face. The top level strategies are right there. Beneath their nose or around the corner You already are a top player, just your actions must be aligned with that

Do NOT ask Leo for answers. Get them yourself from other sources. 1 dimensional responses will come from Leo. I dont know what I mean by that Leo doesn't know everything but he knows a lot. Some things I disagree with him. Positive is Leo acknowledges much of this

4. Love yourself by kamal ravikant. When I was confused about self love, what it meant and how it looked like, I appreciated this guys wisdom because it finally showed someone with some pretty decent theory, and him applying it. It showed me some possibility of what is possible and what to emulate. You can also see him in interviews on YouTube which are helpful. My con was I wasn't sure if this was the highest perspective, but really I had trouble finding books on self love that I resonated with 6. Creative visualization by Shakti Gowan. This one is cool. She goes through a bunch of visualization exercises, very practical and also wisdom on intuition. I think this one can be powerful if applied. Also motivating. Con is the book ofc is not holisitic. But it has nice wisdom of following your intuition and how to create [big] things 4 or 5. Just one thing: developing a buddhas brain by Rick Hanson. I enjoyed this one because this book opened me up to building self worth and finding positive things about yourself. Theres also a lot of practices on self love and compassion and taking care of yourself.

@Preety_India you can use libgen.is Then convert the file to pdf You should find nearly every book there

Good question I've had similar thoughts of the year Like... what the fuck is the point of life purpose, the hell is Leo raving about that shit? I just wanna have some good friends, get some girls, and have fun. I think life purpose is for when you want something more out of life. You want it to have some higher purpose and meaning. I think it comes when you are ready for something big and extravagant. I don't think life purpose is for everyone, you need to be ripe for it. But it does give your life meaning and fulfillment The other stuff, won't give you as much fulfillment. And then you will search for a life purpose. Something deeply meaningful and important @AlphaAbundance I like when you said LP is a higher need. Yeah me too. I think for me, LP becomes much less important when some basic needs are not met. Really, those becoming burning fires in your mind if you dont meet them (for me)

A good question to ask: What is holding you back from getting X? and then gently explore <3

When people say they're being too nice = what they are saying is they are being nice by lacking boundaries and are people pleasing...

leo made an insight to focus on the solution when you are having trouble i dig it. i also like how he said we are not a statistic. i think being a statistic is a weird philosophy. because we are creators of our world. we can choose to be fit. we can choose to be wealthy. we can choose to not be lonely. we can choose awareness over poor mental health. we can choose to get an abundance of women. and these are all things that our current person is not an expert at!!! BUT WE CAN CONTROL IT ALL WITH THE UTILIZATION OF OUR INNATE HUMAN AGENCY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Victim Mentality. Oh you motherfucker. You got me by the balls for so many years. No more man. No more. You deserve the world Dear Lord(or x), grant me the strength to reprogram my mind into a positive one. Thank you

psychology has its LIMITS you CANNOT be happy in a room with nothing? what a weird notion you NEED sustenance. you NEED food. you NEED many things. just using purely psychology to make you feel better is a losing situation. you need food, water, shelter, relationships, work, growth, creativity etc. peace comes from fulfillment of our NEEDs Coming full circle on this idea.

Cool - I actually just posted the same question in a diff thread

my mom kinda of feels unwise she is going wrong in places i notice her negative influence on me --- what does she mean when she says?... you HAVE to work. you HAVE to be financially independent. it is NOT OKAY to sit around and do nothing. you MUST work. FORGET the games and WORK. in word form it looks like a tiger mom trying to discipline her kid into shape some Toxic Blue Shit ? Red? I don't like it. --- i also notice myself putting up with less bullshit. i can see through the manipulation of others. unfortunately people are not all wise. but if i were to say i myself am wise. that would be not fair. --- traumas here. pain. and suffering. lots of growth and healing to be had. to be continued love & light

Im pretty sure he categorised himself as blue somewhere. I'll try to find where he said that

great questions i think that will lead you to a powerful technique eventually i'm no expert but i think part of it has to do with the desire to let go. like you actually want to let it go with genuinity that arises from some reason. pain, curiosity etc. with whatever reason the sedona method also goes into step by step instructions with lots of good theory imo. i think that's where leo picked up the inspiration for that video also another point - for me letting go is like you have some problem and you just drop it. no more mental drama and you let go. it took me a while to observe what that exact distinction felt and looked like, i also had no idea and still don't fully yet but i think i'm getting the hang of it. but yeah just some musings hopefully it was somewhat helpful lol ps. i recommend checking into the sedona method - it has theory that may help you answer these questions

they say any publicity is good publicity? this is not the best way to talk about leo's content

i think union with god might be on a separate axis? i'm not familiar with ego development model very much but i know that for spiral dynamics, it doesn't have crossover with non duality. i think perhaps it denotes so in the name - "ego development"

i don't know. what does your intuition say?

there is a sharp distinction here - video games can be used in a way that serves you and video games can also be a time-sink, or a distraction. it's not inherent in the activity, but sometimes it's your relationship with the activity for example, for playing an FPS game that I like, i had to learn communication skills, and leadership skills (to keep people motivated and calm) because people get tilted super easily and are often times not playing close to their potential i had to change my worldview into believing that I could achieve very challenging things (to become a 1% player, i had to use psychocybernetics principles, success principles, mindset, peak performance principles) for me, these things were massive because I had neither and were the things that I needed and wanted most. video games was the way i was able to create those skills also the problem with labelling it as toxic for everyone can be not useful because sometimes video games are right for you. however it could be toxic for you because it's not what you want in life.

There is no I because I is just a thought. There is only being because I is just a thought. There is no I, no me, just experience itself Is this correct?

@Leo Gura the map looks decently similar to the republican/democrat votes for the 2020 election lol

I could see myself loving a girl that I didnt find physically attracted to if i felt we had a beautiful soul connection. But thats just been me. I've been like that for a while. Also be careful because sometimes the person you fall in love with might not even be the person you imagined initially. Sometimes rigid boundaires and criteria can keep you closed to things new, beautiful and special

@Preety_India ben shapiro and milo were my heros lol They seemed reasonable. Iono. Know a bit better now but hey they're doing the best they can with what they got

been watching his power of asking questions video. i like that one a lot. the way i'd summarize that is that it's a helpful tool to understand reality, and help you get unstuck. also to help you get to the highest levels because with the right questions, right answers come with it. like if you ask the question, what is the highest/my highest potential in life, or how do i change the education system in a profound/precise manner or how do i be happy, the tool gives pathway to such answers because when you ask the question, it's also followed by the answer. it's a pretty useful tool and you can design questions for many areas of life. very versatile and moldable
