Recress

I tried watching him for a few episodes. He got the physical aesthetics, life story and how he can carry himself on a conversation. But sources like Flyboy said is something I dont condone much. Although its very much the same as any material you would say from anyone who do transmissions and stuff, I guess you just gotta go with what resonates with you.

So funny I just finished playing a game wherein one hero saved 2 lives. Then, these 2 lives get to see each other in a fateful way~ Such fascinating like this thread here lol OT: The CommonPlace book has been useful for me. I might do some reading about Tiago's.

I finally bought a stainless steel multi purpose cooking pot. I made sure that its 100% steel based on the box. Also bought some cheap bamboo utensils. Health investments as its finest. Im going to throw away my scratch-off teflon pans now.

@Revolutionary Think He shared it on the early chapters of his book. Actually, if you watched the video, the girl also explained and shown some pictures. Alcoholic mother of 3 children, he was the eldest. He became a people pleaser at a young age just because of his alcoholic mother, he was also the protector of his younger siblings. He's finding ways to make it to the top. His public speaking skills got known in one of his school recitation, thats where he found his spark and put it all together. He started reading so many books about psychology and the human mind until he has a brain tumor which he doesnt want to accept and prove how powerful the mind is. It worked, he lived and the tumor disappeared. Thats more reason for him to believe that he is on the right path. His classics books and audio books still stands today and I'd say he's a great leader on Stage Orange and I might revisit his other books if needed. Now, in regards to his issues with women, he didnt have that issue with Sage(?) I dont know how they met though so I cannot say for sure. But one thing for sure is that it may be his shadow. I've watched his documentary 'I am your Guru' before and the last segment he said that he believe on something that cannot be seen, a greater force than us, all we have to do is find the kind of passionate life we want out of this world. It was truly inspiring. Say, just take want resonates with you and move on. There are so many speakers out there today than we have 10 years ago. YouTubers like this always exist, if you completed Leo's video about Spiral Dynamics, you would know. Also, there are also other people out there who put content against Leo. Depending on what Stages they are, its natural that they do what they do.

But yeah, even with his trauma, like other said he is not perfect. And dont take for granted for what he has contributed to the world! I still use his Daily Magic audiobooks every morning I wake up. His classics are still relevant today and will keep it at that until I change my morning rituals for the better.

Haha thanks for sharing, I have a guess it was Taylor and it was correct lol. I've been following this dude since last year where he was readying his channel. It was a shame I didnt partake to his early promotion thing for 21 days. iirc he was surveying men for his early courses. His podcast videos is also something to watch!

I started with Tony Robbins as well as the main Self-Help expert 10 years ago. I even have his book til today 'Awaken the Giant Within'. But I dont touch it for many years. I havent finished reading it as well. Thats why after knowing he's on the Stage Orange from Leo a couple of years ago it make sense. If the segment about his issues with women are true, then its his trauma from his abusive mother.

I used to drank coffee when I started working as well. But I stopped like 5 years ago because of palpitations & jittery stuffs like that. Now that I was able to have a healthy lifestyle, I only drink it when needed like more work needs to finish or just basically for the taste. Although for the last few days I drank it again just to feel awake, but I lately realized it contribute to my overall increase of stress and anxiety. Oh my substitute for it after I stopped drinking 5 years ago is Green Matcha Tea. I still use to drink this Elixir hailed from Japan today, but I just mix a things like cacao powder or lemon on it for have a different kind of taste. but seriously I need to drink it back to the basics again

Thanks Leo, so stainless steel all the way? I hope I can find one easily, I was considering to pick the Ceramic one since I saw one on some cooking channel before.

What about the utensils use for cooking? I'm glad someone posted this today. I was with my parents for 3 months and my mom has mostly stainless steel cooking ware. Now that I am back at my apartment, my cooking wares are plastic utensils and a scratch-off non stick pan.. That explains the weird feeling that I have over the past few days. I may need to shop a new wares asap.

Leo did mention on the topic to take the balance approach. He said that to take all other factors into consideration and that does mean being vegan or not is in your own hands. "It's tricky, he said" There are thriving vegans out there who don't broadcast themselves on social platforms. I think people already mention it on your thread, was that your agenda? I don't know why people like to debate stuffs like this nowadays. Who are you to dictate what other wants to eat and live? YouTube nowadays are so saturated with so much information, you gotta pick the good ones from the bad. Discussions like this made me facepalm that I wont get to see the 'kind of evolution' that I want to see in mankind.

So my main objective on this thread is to explore this belief systems and to know what others see and think based on my story: I meet a new hire officemate a couple of years ago. When I first saw her, it felt like she's familiar and I think she does the same(my own assumption based from her eyes). We became friends but not that close, professionally. We share the same hobby like traveling. After our manager allows us to Work From Home, we dont see often but when we do we plan to be present at the office alongside with out other close officemates. Some few months time, I traveled on a foreign country and bought her a present. In return, she gave me a present on my bday telling me that she was touched that I bought her something, she said she does that to her friends. Few months gone, she got roll-off from the project and we dont see each other anymore.. Over the past few years I was able to deduce that I have a fear of intimacy. 2 years ago, I met someone on my travel, and it was something different that hers. Yknow, something like in movies that you bumped into someone? I can be myself, although I lately know that she's already in a relationship, I guess that experience helped me open up more. So to go back to the original girl. So since we dont see and communicate very much often. She has a tendency to send me a message saying 'How are you?' then no response to whatsoever. She does the same to me a few days ago. Last year when she messaged me I totally ignored her. But now she did it again and sadly I replied, no response for a week. Now, I don't know what game she is playing or I just put too much meaning to our encounter before. Maybe the thing that's been playing in my mind is 'it should have been us, but it didnt happened' and its kinda hard to be in a kind of relationship that you cant understand what truly it is. Is she waiting for my move? Is it she's just to friendly? I don't know if I will do another response or totally ignore her moving forward. <Let me know if you need things to be cleared>

Yeah, journaling and self inquiry really helps. I read your journal about some girls you've been, now I understand where you're coming from. It's nice to see some open-minded guys here on this forum to support each other, although I dont exclude woman as well. Just that some of friends that Ive been doesnt talk things like this so its comforting to be vulnerable at times when you need to.

Thanks you for the response Thanos (I got pressured). @flowboy So yeah I decided not to. Aside from the fact that she's way older for me like 5-6 years, I met other girls on my travels and I would pick that instead. Besides, I don't need other people to validate me, I've been on this journey of self discovery for many years now. If I think she's the one for me at this time, I would have gone my way to reach out to her by any means. But no, I believe people come and go, just that her reaching out to me trigger some wounding that I need to revisited and do alot of reflections especially if it's stemming from traumas and such. The reason probably that I shared this is because this sub-topic felt open for people to share vulnerability. I think it's healthy to do that at times.

@Potato People King Thank you. I thought everyone will ghost this thread. I will do some meditation about this and self inquiry and move on afterwards. It's about time to shed some old people/beliefs/things that no longer servers me

This has been me on the last 3 months. I went home because of holidays and I thought it will be a goody doody if I stayed longer, it turned out otherwise... I was so vibrant before going home, told myself I should be open with my mom and have an honest conversation and such, while I did have some honest conversation on initial weeks, I felt that I got judged telling her about my plans in the next few years and decided to stay single until I met someone that I really connect to. She just react "You'll not get married?!" with some expression in her eyes. To kinda avoid the topic I swayed her that I will focus on my business ideas instead to travel in a couple of years. I saw her eyes expression like a child and was like.. My parents are so like children playing a house. When will they grow up? At the end of the day I left it at that because I cannot control them, I let them experience what they need to. Although that kinda affected my peace of mind the longer I stayed there, I'm glad I'm back now to my own peace, to have my own serenity.

Same here. On my previous travel, I met someone who thought were at the same age. Of course I didnt reveal my age until we meet up again but yeah, you need to go out more TS. It's more on your head! If not for this pandemic, Im going traveling again!

I listen to Rollo Tomasi before from an audiobook. I keep an open mind while listening until I finished and say never again. It felt weird, I think books that I've read before like 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' and 'Models' are even better, in terms of quality. lol I think I got it from a buff dude on youtube where he lost his parents, then had some group following.. but I realize its not for me. So that was a red pill thing. hmmm

@longusername12345 That 3-hours complete focus sounds like the Technique on Cal Newport's book 'Deep Work'. I truly find that works for me!

Thank you for this! This is the first time I am watching Russel Brand.

I agree. Just go out there and have fun! I'm introvert myself and I also found some as weird as me in one of my travels. It's quite surprising because I always thought that I will always be the oddball. But thats not the case ;3

(not sure where to post this so kindly move to the right channel tia) Hi all! A little background about me; I'm into metaphysics for like many years now and still learning, quite an introvert and been doing shadow work for quite a while. My question revolves around people (a family member in particular) who mainly doesnt like change/resist change and is stuck with the past. I have a stepdad, who I can describe an old school, stuck in his time, paradigm, & doesnt want change, and doesnt embrace the new technology. Heck doesn't even want to use mobile phones as he is not interested. A typical example of toxic masculinity as well as he likes to berates people on the tv mainly newer actors that doesnt have the manly-off during his time like Rambo, Sylvester Stallone etc.. I get it. I understand his perspective and all. But at some point we do have some threshold right? I sometimes wonder why my mom married him, maybe mainly because of his looks and codependency thing from my father before. I have my own apartment far from them on the main city, but since its COVID, I decided to stay at my Mom's place a little longer. I know I am just rambling here, but dunno.. It is affecting my peace of mind the longer I stay here. Maybe I will not directly interact with them for now.. You can ask me more details.. I just want to type this things out from my mind ugh.. Do you have similar people in your life and how did you deal with them?

@neutralempty He is lol.

@Preety_India Maybe it's because of the expectation that we want those people nearer to us behave like us? I think most people do (even Leo in one of his video).. Not really like us, but more in an open minded and accepting way you know. Stern father figure (from my family) are always hard headed and want everyone follow them. Guess what, I'm a hard headed millennial who wont follow as well lol.. Point is, I just want to have people around me to be open-minded. My Mom is always open and warm since so I don't have problems with her, only after a few years when my stepdad is in the picture.

@Vibroverse Yeah, it reminded me to travel and not getting stuck in places. That dream is all about exploration afterall! wow...
