From my limited understanding intuition happens when someone is above thought. It shows the actions to take for the greater good? Or maybe there is egoic intuition that shows what actions to take to benefit yourself. If there is no free will does this mean that different degrees of intuition control all actions of everyone? Is there free will after enlightment? Free will doesn't exist because there is no you but what happens when you realize you are god and that you create everything? Do you have free will then?

Do shamanic breathing some times, Fix your health: diet, exercise and sleep Life purpose work. Do these things and if nothing changes ask again. I went through this before and it took me many years to just work on the above. It really helps.

Get the booklist.. Enough work there for years

If your life sucks too much then maybe. Read the new earth and see if everything is the same after you finish it. But ego is not something bad. You just need to see it clearly for what it is, the fact that you are not only it, rest in the feeling of peace that pointers take you and decide to live in the now. The thing is that not so may people are ready for this and i certainly wasn't. If your life is good then enjoy your life. No need to do anything with your ego just because someone talks about it. Attempt it when you feel that you had enough.

The best book i read as a teen and i know by heart because i read it countless times age 14-16 is the wisdom of the peaceful warrior by Dan Millman. It's a perfect introduction to self help, spirituality and other things. The most powerful spititual book i read so far (i still haven't read many but that doesn't make it less powerful) is the new earth - Eckhart Tolle And if i should put one more to the top is the science of getting rich. The book shows you how to do the actual work. So far those 3 books are the most practical i've found. I still haven't read the booklist though.

@Javfly33 in a strange way this started feeling liberating . As an ego it feels like i have unlimited free will. I can choose among countless actions to do. No matter what i choose it will be the right thing to do because it was meant to happen. This takes away the uncertainty and anxiety. We just need to trust that everything is as it should be. Then we can relax in the present moment accept everything and the right actions to do will be guided by intuition. The concept of no free will sounds very depressing at first. I guess what i was trying to find was the positive aspect of it. Thank you for answering my questions and helping me realize that. ? I never used this emoji before haha but it seems appropriate.

@Javfly33 thank you very much for your answer. I'm already aware of the things you talked about. Not directly aware of them in my present reality but i have the memory of them. I agree with everything you said. Let's say that everything you said was completely new to me. As a result i become aware and live like this. Still this was meant to happen. I wouldn't go there if you didn't write this post. From this perspective i didn't really had any choice it was predetermined. Or let's say i happened to suffer and came across a teaching and that sparked a change. This just happened. Maybe my question is closer to mental masturbation and this wasn't my purpose. I just want to understand better to avoid getting trapped. Is the surrendering and being aware each second free willed? Maybe i don't have any say in the matter. If it's meant to happen it will happen if not then not. The reason i'm asking is because this whole idea of no free will is very radical and very easy to understand wrong and become trapped.

@ryank940 i would say nah i'm fine Leo already did this starting from simpler topics moving upwards. I personally like to choose what to work on each time and having a huge list of things to work on is nice. But as a reader of your book for example if let's say you wrote one that talks about self development i would like i guess to be spoonfed the right order of the things to work on. For example first of all fix your sleep. To do this you need to do this and that. After that improve your diet etc. I don't find it necessary but i guess i would like a clear roadmap to avoid the work of finding out for myself or to eliminate confusion. It's both a good thing and a bad thing.

@Someone here thank you this was very helpful. Can i ask what caused the direct experience of this realization? No details needed for example through meditation or psychedelics or contemplation. @Javfly33 i really liked your analogy of the dream. I haven't thought about it exactly this way before. This is exactly where i am stuck in my thinking. To increase my consciousness is to control something. I do believe and feel that i have a choice in the matter. I know how to increase my consciousness fast if i wanted to. But the problem is that if this is an illusion the consciousness will get increased only if it was meant to be increased. Maybe i don't really have a choice in the matter and even if i meditate or take psychedelics or whatever might never happen. Or it might just happen because it was meant to be. This is the part that confuses me.

@ryank940 what Leo did and does is amazing. We have a huge catalogue of topics. Other than that there is the blueprint and the book list. I don't think the problem is with the way everyone teaches. It's about prioritizing what you have to work on first. For example for me the first big problem was health and very low energy. Now that i have more energy i can work out. Because of this i feel even better and i can work on my life purpose and so on. There is always improvement if you prioritize right. Look at the booklist. I decided to read all the books there. There is a book for every single one of your problems. You choose one that tackles your bigger problem first. I know what to do and there is no lack of material or good teachers in my experience. It's just a matter of doing the work. There are also books about procrastination and every problem you can think of. It's just a matter of identifying the problem and start the work to improve.

I believe that everything i need to learn as far as self help goes already exists. There is enough material for decades of implementation. Now that i think about it a nice guidebook for every country on how to start a business would be nice.

I'm also like that but if you have to wake up very early for example to go to work and you end up sleeping less and you do this for a long time it will 100% affect your health for the worse. I was sleep deprived because of work and inability to sleep early for some years. It sucks and it destroys your health. Definitely try to sleep enough hours at least no matter when you go to bed.

@John Iverson that's a big list. Just start doing stuff and if you run out of things to do you will be able to think of the next thing. Take a look at actualized blueprint if you want an even bigger list. I believe that your list is not only about attraction and women but life in general. Again look at the blueprint it's an amazing resource that i look at from time to time. https://www.actualized.org/blueprint

@Someone here yeah i didn't mean it like that. I get what you say or at least i think so. The thing i'm interested in is how you personally deal with this knowledge in everyday life? What is your experience? Please don't answer there is no me and you i got that part. Are you constantly aware that there is no you and no others and stuff just flow?

@John Iverson this is not my idea. It's from a book i came across long ago. It's called the dating wizard secrets to success with women. I don't like the title it makes it sound lame. But this book is a hidden gem and can make you more attractive. Most of the books about attraction are garbage but this one isn't. The whole book is an answer to your question.

Everyone has a different body. It doesn't work for everybody

Does this mean that i have the free will to sit down and meditate or improve my diet for example but at the same time i don't because there is no such thing as choice? Should i just observe the choices make themselves then? Is this what you all mean? If i completely let go as an ego let's say and don't brush my teeth for example i will still find myself brushing my teeth because i have no choice? What about goals, are they still predetermined? It is also pre-determined if someone gets enlightened or not? To set this as a goal is also predetermined? Is everything that happens predetermined?

@Someone here Fuck i just can't accept this fully. How does this knowledge help me as a human being? I guess it doesn't. Isn't god willing everything into existence? Or is god just the flowing of stuff?

I can't believe that noone commented on this. I just wanted to comment on this I guess that wasn't free willed.

@neutralempty yeah maybe i assumed it. Actualized videos are more than enough for me, but i am also open to see what others have to teach.

@neutralempty ok i probably believe you. I'm not going to become his follower but i also can't form an opinion about him just because everyone hates him. If he did all of those thing though i understand why everyone hates him.

@Mafortu i see... I knew a person once that i met on a forum about a hobby and he was a mod there. He faked his death for fun but then apologised. Maybe this was a trend or something? Maybe i'll watch some of his videos to see if i like his content or not.

First time seeing one of his videos. I assume that not so many like him so much in this forum? I don't know the reason for this but this video was very good.

Be emotionally stable. That means that noone has any emotional and psychological power over you and this is one of the most important things.

No it's not. Try to do exactly what the science of getting rich tells you to do and find out for yourself. But yes if it's marketed without any talk about taking action like the secret then it's bs.
