Have you done computer tomography with this problem? Because NOW I do have minor tinnitus. And I also have something in my left ear.

what Leo could do, most of the people couldn't do, which is why he got so good results. He took some time from working, as I underestood. If I could take time off from working and could practice my instrument daily, granted that I live a healthy lifestyle I would be at least 10x the musician I am now. So it goes for his ability to pick up.

No, it inhibits your awareness. And destroys your health. I have heard in somewhat distant past in India there were a sage who made devi pujas (offerings to grant them siddhis or mystical powers) and this yogi just drink alcohol constantly like water had no effect on his body.

Thank you. However i even got confession from this user, yes, they could have been lying also. Ok I will stop policing others.

Yeah I agree about Whitney (Buck) Edwards, Tyler Robinson and Preety_India. I will never let that go because of her fake stories joining the forum in 2023 and bla bla. And I don't know why she is an exception to stay. It's dishonest and disturbing for someone to read that fake journal and think it's personal development. But that's my opinion.

I am sure Princess Arabia is fine. I can't say the same about the other two users Letho mentioned.

I agree

The problem of religion is that there has to be a living master who transmits the part of experience that trough techniques and otherwise are unlikely and hard to be experienced just by studying them. Yet I think the scriptures of Hinduism are the most technical and are rich of techniques, sutras, asanas that you can do if you don't know what to do in great variety. If and when you would be become a master, I would assume immediately that the content you explain or especially what is written in your blog or a book or whatever, you would have or already have a great problem of transmitting your experience to other people and then content you release, no matter how nuanced, will not transmit the experience you have in a significant way I think. The same has happened with various religions.

I think the narrative that Africa can become a superpower is not really evident. While no one said they couldn't, how many people have come to this conclusion without watching this video? Right now, it's as if it's impossible (i think) due to factors like corruption being the main one.

Think from the other end. Ok suppose you just go out there more meaning you do more have more and interact more. Will having the most amount of things, knowing a lot of people and trying to just do more things again and again will make you happy, your life better? What if you lose them? What if it doesn't? Sometimes it does, sometimes it may not at all. Ok then if you just live and feel you are unhappy, what to do? Just accept it? Or try to solve it? There are questions that an 8 year old can give you. Is he overthinking? Or do we have such fundemendal flaws in our society that we pursue the wrong things?

I don't buy it. I think in the distant future Africa could be a superpower. The corruption is the problem.

Yeah, I was pissed about some aspect of the user experience of the forum. I am dealing with it, but slowly overall. I am becoming less reactive in online spaces (because it'so easy to do it), but I have a long way to go.

Thanks Leo for the amazing content, you have literally enriched my life in a significant way. Some of the forum members very cool and very helpful. Thank you, guys! @Keryo Koffa @Michael569 @Schizophonia @Zigzag Idiot @Myioko @modmyth @Vipassana @ivankiss And a few more I have known... But... I can't stand a banned user being on the forum wasting their life here and calling it self-development. This user is right. Someone has to stop visiting this place. Let it be me. I found it undemocratic and super annoying, so... This place has it's limits. After that it's just facebook and a lot of words saying nothing. This should not become standard for newcomers of the forum seeing the content of their posts calling Sadhguru stage blue and stuff. Would even Leo agree with that!? What does that sentence even mean? It's not even related to Sadhguru or spiral dynamics, but it just doesn't make sense. Anyway, I don't want to see myself saying what I don't mean and don't meaning what I say. It triggers me and I have to go. I am not that active anymore anyway. BTW, journaling should be a private tool at your disposal. If you want public journaling, read Leo's blog. At least he has some wisdom... Otherwise there is not much substance to what is happening in the journaling section. No point reading anything there. Yes, I care (about the content of the forum new users experience), I am triggered knowing what I know and nobody doing anything about it and the user saying admin/mods know and calling it democratic and its just BS because it devalues your forum Leo. Yes, I am triggered. Because I think we can do better. I will try to do better and treat self-dev and spirituality more seriously and gracefully. Because it's worth not just talking about it but practicing. Peace. Applegarden.

Made me chuckle, thanks

Honestly what is this post, I came here expecting you are going to talk about Donald Trump! I am disappointed.

So what, but it's not a hypothetical. I don't care, it's not a viable metric.

BTW guys, I have somehow tumbled back to this place. I am nothing but a hypocrite and politician it seems. I am sorry. I took 2 month breaks basically, but somehow this thing keeps me engaged.

I think Emerald was a mod at one point, maybe I am wrong and I think she has her own business going on, so I assume she has an audience to moderate.

You see, you can also select only from the pool of people that are there... But this is the quality of people we are when we focus on the law of normal distribution. So we are shitty human beings sometimes and generally we are shitty human beings, that's all. Let's try to improve.

Because "what you think you are currently" literally all of that will die.

YES, book a session with @Emerald

I can give you my subjective opinion. But it really really works for me. Frequently I am reflecting and meditating on death and on the fear of death. I underestand that my body is designed to die. I undereatand that death happens to everybody not just somebody else. I underestand I have been afraid of death and I have been re-experiencing various fears including fear of death by journaling it, recalling those fears and other strong emotions associated with it and experiencing them in the same intensity as they happened or just dealing with the feeling of fear you may feel right now is also OK. I would spend like 2 hours per day for that if not the whole day if I would have cancer. Also I would strongly suggest doing shadow work/completion process where you journal traumatic incidents and re-live those emotions. There could be some patterns that make you hate your reproductive organ and think it is not a part of your body of past abuse for example and shame, anger it could create. I am just guessing, but if it triggers you, there has to be some memories and trauma you can relieve yourself and possibly reduce the chances of cancer activity happening in that area. This is not my idea. Even if you don't do this, you have to spend time with death embracing death and coming to terms with it, as we all do, acctually. If you remind yourself that you will die regularly and go trough the emotions and fears created by it, there will be deep peace, acceptance and embrace of the unknown and completion with life. The same effect you can develop by meditating or doing yoga in it's various forms. If you want more info and sources, feel free to DM me.

It's neither right or wrong. It will not solve your internal restlessness and neuroticisms. And I mean by that: the pattern to want something better endlessly; Avoidance of self reflection by relentlessly changing something external; Pattern of jelousy, guilt, dissatisfaction and lethargy created by society parents and spouse and how it manifests in different forms in your life. Sometimes it can help tho, if the partner is abusive, nagging, inducing guilt, cheating, weponizing children or denies you doing something you really want like a hobby or pursuing some form of spirituality. I would divorce such person. But that's me. It's easier for me than to wait for next lifetimes.

Just want to genuinely test your idea in the current political landscape in Russia. (applicable to Tier 2 thinking things and not english) Will you not get penalized, detained for teaching such things as they are not the current narrative and it's actually diametrically opposite to that. Will you have an audience for that? Who would be willing to pay, knowing that Russians will not be able to afford it in mass? Will you not have to teach propaganda (whatever the government requires) also? Will it be safe for you, now and in the long term as the government embraces the idea of "drop everything western" then why would they need English? I know they are two faced etc. and maybe they need it regardless of what they say.

Ok, I will give this a search. Thank you. @integral sure. There are many many more traps to fall into. That is why I think investing in self-reflection, journaling, making the reason why more robust, experiential and clear is vital to not fall in such traps.
