Hey everyone, I'm Jan,
this is my first time posting in this forum.
I actually don't spend a lot of time here, but I think it would be good to change that and connect more with people who are into Leo's work.
I want to share is some constructive feedback for Leo. And I would love to hear if what I say makes sense to you or if I'm overlooking something!
(I'm open to that possibility but I also acknowledge that Leo is (still) an unperfect human and that I might see something that he doesn't see.
I'm talking about his video "How To Practice Love - What Does It Mean To Love?", but I heard him share similar beliefs in other videos as well.
Around minute 1:26h he says "You can heal this stuff, but it's gonna take a lot of work to heal."
I think this is not a good thing to say because he is stating that healing always is a lot of work (and therefore it also sounds like it takes long) but that might not be universally true.
There are examples of spontaneous awakenings and very swift healings. (e.g. Eckhard Tolle, Byron Katie,...)
So telling the world it will be a lot of work is reducing the chance that their consciousness is able to change quickly. We all know the power of the mind and how we create self-fulfilling prophecies.
Similarly, around 1:29h he says "relationships are hard".
Yes, often healing takes a lot of work, and yes, often relationships are hard. But there is no universal law that says that it always has to be that way. So therefore I think it makes sense to adjust his wording a bit. Maybe he could say "often healing takes a lot of work".
I get that it's helpful to teach others to expect resistance, ego-backlash etc. but making those statements less absolute would be good, wouldn't it?
What do you think about that observation & suggestion?
Leo in case you read that, of course I would love to hear your thoughts!
Much love,
Jan
PS: I think Leo's work is incredible! I have immense gratitude for his existence and that I get to learn so much from him.
