Having faith and waiting for God, with patience, so to speak, is a gift, certainly. So is intellectualizing, honestly. But, in that sense, they both have their limits. The human is not incapable nor capable, on their own. Its just not that you can by only doing a couple things (analyzing, waiting, etc.) and maybe somethings pull more weight than others. Try and overvalue feeling, instead of thinking, for example. As simple as it sounds, too, a lot of this is about expansion of the mind and personal consciousness. Not to play the endless contrarian but sometimes to do the opposite of your preference, when there’s no real harm, can loosen you up to new views. If you like to think a lot, and you worried enlightenment can not come that way, try to operate without thinking at all. -
@Mu_ I really appreciate your response. I needed to hear that. I used to be so social and I think I’ve confused my hermeting with actual social disability.

Context, of course: I feel deeply at Love with the Universe, but have a hard time feeling this with people. I never noticed how mechanical my thoughts are. I’m quite selfish, yet I know my purpose is humanitarian. How I get there, though, and the day-to-day Love for others is next to none from me. My background suites this outcome and I’ve taken different psychological tests, talked to professionals (a bit), etc. I’m just not super Loving towards others. When alone I will feel a deep Love for others, but, again, it doesn’t translate much. Any advice? I’ve been trying to burn through karma and be social again. I am thinking a lot of this is just correlating to the lack of people in my life too. I went full hermit mode and have been for 2-4 ish years here. I left a lot of people, there’s been a death, some people left me. I’ve been talking to the same 4-8 people for that time period. More like 4 though. I didn’t think of the consequences of endless hermit truth seeking.

@Jacob Morres Certainly ‘trauma.’ But mainly general confusion and pain. I was not assaulted or anything. Probably should see a therapist though just to get it all out.

@Matthew85 When I imagine expressing what I feel towards people it feels exactly like a movie. When I try to express it like that, I woo people - in a good way. It feels like imposter syndrome. My life went from chaos and lies to I can manage this and the universe is pure magic, my design.

@Spence94 I appreciate the response, I agree. It is honestly quite simple what is happening to me. Im just overwhelmed, 20 yo, alone.

@Yarco It’s actually the ego that wants to master itself. You’re loved, mastered or not. Actualized isn’t just about mastery anymore either. Mastery was just the best part about Leo’s ego, that’s how we all got here.

Because almost all cities are progressive and/or democratic. Some are bound to fail. But most well performing cities are progressive/democratic too. The real question is, why are there hardly any republican cities?

No self is exactly what it sounds like. But just like any perspective, do not become too attached to it; just try it on, prepare for any consequences and integrate it. But expect something radical, as there is a reason most assume the existence of a self. But also see the difficulty in imagining such an idea is precisely also the reason it is worth doing. -
I think that imagining the worst case scenarios can be helpful, if you can handle it and then consequently prepare from it. But I also understand that imagining yourself in a car accident might make you just less likely to drive instead of just becoming a more defensive driver. So pick you limit. Maybe instead of imaging someone dying and how you would prepare or a car accident - pick the easiest thing. Imagine a simple problem to over come instead of a big one. Or just acknowledge that you’re still here, alive, and you’ve already been through what you’ve been through and you’ve made it! Maybe you could just imagine all of the bad things you already been though and get some confidence from that. Then you can start to work your way up to imagining more stressful things (with the intent to prepare/tolerate the stress better) Work your way up. PS, in the moment, when I’m stressed, I just try to think about anything but myself. Works like a charm. I’ll put my attention on caring for others, fidgeting, etc. Anything that isn’t me. I keep the psychological work to it’s own time. When I get stressed or anxious in the moment, that isn’t necessarily the time to go doctor on myself. Thats the time to use a classic ego distraction just to get through it so I came stay out of my own head. When you’re in your head, that’s when the negativity builds.

Just because God makes something finite doesn’t mean it isn’t still infinite. Right now, God imagined our reality, with time, etc. That doesn’t mean God can’t imagine an endless amount of other things. This is just what it is right now.

I like eggs and grass fed beef (93% lean something like that.)

It’s hard to give resources wi to out knowing what the verbal conflict was and how it has affected you Ex: I witness my parents fight and scream a lot; ‘verbal conflict.’ Personally, I became an argumentative brat over having witness this for so long. But some would have become timid. What kind of verbal conflict for you? To you like to bicker? Or are you more timid because of this? I’d need a bit more context.

@WokeBloke And if I did, in the middle of an Olympic tennis match, to the throw game while flailing my we we, it wouldn’t make a difference; still. well lawsuits and such, but that’s the monkey me’s problem. God loved it. -

@WokeBloke A tennis racket is a tennis racket and a tennis ball is a tennis ball, but together they are just ‘tennis.’ -
I love Leo’s videos, but some of you sound like addicts. Leo owes us NOTHING. No if ands or buts. Stop this; you do not deserve an explanation, a video, a course, ANYTHING. Move on with your life.

I’ve heard of multiple people getting the shits for carnivore diet. I don’t know what causes it but I know multiple say it happens.

Just do the exercises then. Nobody can explain this. -
@Medhansh The way I think about the mind, technically, anything would be ‘within the realms of it.’ I was sort of conflating ‘ego’ with ‘the dream’ though. I see what you mean now where that model distinguishes between the ego and other variables. Buddhi, Mann, etc. But, still, my point is missed. There exists ‘another’ ‘Mind’ that contains ‘the dream’ and ‘the ego.’ This mind is infinitely intelligent and can not be factored or broken in to parts, such as buddhi or Mann. It kind of blows any conventional understanding of intelligence out of the water. Idk, maybe I’m stating the obvious here. Like you said, different context. Maybe I’m just confused too. My mind is kinda fried trying to use words to conceptualize intelligence; the essence of conception.
-
@Medhansh I understand that you are probably relaying information you heard elsewhere but in regards to the vocabulary of this forum the four parts of the ‘mind’ you mentioned would not be referring to the ‘mind’ Leo talks about. Those four parts would still be akin to something more of the ego mind. Not God, the ‘Mind.’ That mind, has no parts.

@Preety_India Gotcha, that makes sense. Yeah, there is a lot of different ways too look at it. You've broken it down to the main ideas and sound like you’re figuring it out though. For me a lot of ‘intelligence’ comes down to effort and curiosity. I naturally am curious about most things, so I put effort into asking questions where many may not. I think there is a lot of really intelligent people out there that just simply are not putting in the effort because they do not realize intelligence is malleable and they are not naturally curious. Probably because they have had to be. Regardless, If some would just realize they were not born with a strict ‘IQ’ and could actually control their intelligence, to a much larger extent than I, personally, expected - people could be a lot smarter. Maybe I’m ignorant, but I like to think effort plays a role in intelligence and people are not just dumb. Some people are just dumb tho.

Yeah I’m a 20 year old dude in like the exact same situation. Have about 2.5 friends. I have My Mom, Dad (divorced) and their flaws (good for the most part though) My sister doesn’t talk to me (depression, overwhelmed, etc) I hear from her every few months, briefly. 5 or so years ago, we used to be close. I have a just okay job, but one I enjoy. And yeah I dunno my future, but I love music and have been trying to convince myself that somehow all of this self actualization enlightenment work is going to turn into a deep community, music-dream. Because right now, like you said, it all feels disconnected. I need to change

There are an infinite set of intelligences; or as Leo says ‘infinite intelligence.’ You can be infinitely intelligent about an infinite amount of things. Traditionally though, there has only been ‘intelligence.’ This typically refers to the standard IQ Tests, pattern recognition, etc. It was only within the past 50 or so years, I believe, that the term ‘emotional intelligence’ (EQ) came into existence. As you can see, it has not been widely adopted either. Still, not many people are concerned or familiar with ‘EQ.’ But I wouldn’t get too concerned with types of intelligences. It is nice to box things up and say this person is ‘emotionally intelligent’ or ‘classically intelligent’ or ‘spiritually intelligent.’ But it is something much bigger to surpass of that into INFINITE INTELLIGENCE and start pondering, what is intelligence? (In general) Of course, infinite intelligence has the ‘no intelligence’ perspective - which is confusing because it has that phenomenon of the old joke: ’So smart only a dumb person could have come up with it/So dumb only a smart person could have done it.’ All in all, though, might I ask, and maybe I should’ve immediately - yet - why is it you’re curious about this?
