Welcome and good luck bro. A lot of what you're talking about is a shift in mindset, but you've taken the first step which is to be aware of what your specific issues are. Just as a quick tip I don't think you should try and make big sweeping changes but instead just make small changes everyday, try and improve yourself by 1% everyday. If it's meditation, start off doing 5 mins a day then build it up, things like that.

@Neill BoltonLol what is natto??

@ElektriskoOk so are you saying there is something called evil that just exists external to us? Like a devil kind of thing?

What exactly is the definition of evil? When I hear good and evil it always makes me think of religious morality or something that's higher than us, it's not really used as a descriptive word but some sort of overiding moral thing. For one good and evil is definitely subjective, based on your mindset, the current trends of what's acceptable in the particular era you've been brought into. For example I was watching a doc about the Spartans in Greece and it was very normal for them to be 'involved' with young boys, now then they were the highest regarded men of their time within their culture, nowadays that would be seen as the lowest. I'm not saying it's right of course but it's interesting how dramatically morality changes. For the op yes that scenario is obviously horrible, but the person committing the crime could also be seen as the victim, especially if you accept that free will is an illusion. If you were brought up in his circumstances and had his psychopath mind it's possible you too would commit that crime, the only thing that stops is a lack of his conditions and mindset, so you haven't made a choice not to do it you have different psychological traits and have had a different upbringing. So I think you can say that there are evil acts or at least what you may consider to be evil but where we go wrong as a society is by labelling someone as evil, because when you break that down what does it actually mea? I'm not religious but jesus said 'hate the sin, love the sinner', so if you can get the judgements about what is evil or good you can actually start solving problems at the route. A tough question could be if someone killed your mother, but they were fully rehabilitated within a week and you knew they were and would not commit a crime again, would you let them out of prison?

Hi everyone, first post, Ive been watching Leo amongst others for a little while now and in doing my own personal work, I was always drawn to the idea of getting my own thoughts and ideas out there. It was nagging me for months but I'm glad to say Ive finally got some vids up and hopefully they can contribute or make someone think somewhere. What I did notice in doing so is that the effort of making vids is in it takes you away from your own personal work which I found very difficult to balance and I'm sure Leo would agree. Anyway as this forum is full of people on a positive journey i thought it would be the best place to post and also because i did get a lot of inspiration from Leo to actually get these ideas out there, so here we go the first video is an explanation of Oneness or the idea we are all connected, thoughts welcome -

I would say as a human you'll always be aware of your ego to some extent but really it's more about realising the ego isn't your true self

I try and switch it up, either a fruit and veg smoothie, eggs with bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes or what I've been trying recently, banana pancakes made with coconut flour which are great!

Man that's a question, game is a whole thing in itself, in short it's a lot to do with confidence, social skills, intention and also experience. Some people have natural game in that they just naturally have those assets but you definitely can learn skills to attain them. There's loads of stuff on YouTube to learn from, I'm not into pick up too much at the moment but rsd is a good resource I think, I like them as they tie it in with a lot of self development, but as with anything take and leave what they say as you see fit. Game is an endless subject really and there's 1000s books about it, but I would say the ultimate level game is really being 100% comfortable in your skin and not being attached to results, so similar to self development as a whole

I guess it could only be the ego that's selfish as it sees itself as seperate

In my opinion when you're trying to be something, even if it's trying to be what you think is yourself then that's not your true self. Your true self emerges when you don't try and be anything, you give up trying. Meditation is a practice of this, it gets your brain used to be non reactive

It does exist I think, but the usual form it takes is the guy initially likes the girl when he first meets but he messes up in some way, either taking to long to make his intentions clear, not having much game or being to nice in a friendship way without any kind of flirting or signs to the girl. Attraction for girls can in most cases have an expiry date, a girl will automatically reject you if she feels you have rejected her (she can think this just by you not being clear). So if this is happens your only option as a guy is the friendship aspect which doesn't mean it's completely off the table to get with her but it's not really in your hands anymore. So best thing to do is make your intentions clear from the start (not gonna go into how to do this but read up on game etc) if she rejects you then you know where you stand and maybe you may have the chance to be friends with her or not, I would choose not personally but either way you know what's going on. If she likes you then that's all good and go from there. The confusion just comes in your intentions if you're not sure then don't expect her to be

@cnorhistorian I agree to a certain extent, I think ultimately enlightenment is literally accepting everything for what it is including the fact that there are no definite answers. A lot of times you can get caught in mental traps where you feel like you're working toward something or some kind of conclusion when really there is no conclusion just a continuation of the process. I like Leo's videos as he does touch on topics that are not really being discussed and whether he's getting paid or not I think it's important to put these ideas into people's consciousness even if it's just a starting point. To that extent especially if there can be some appeal in the western world as the western world probably has the least understanding of these concepts but also the most power which is obviously not working out for the planet

For example, and this is something I'm struggling a little with at the moment, but say for example a thought keeps popping up in your head that you don't like. You can say to yourself I'm gonna get rid of this thought I'm gonna debate it, I'm gonna consciously ignore it, I'm gonna distract myself from it, but actually any resistance you give to it actually traps it and gives more focus to it. Whereas if you do nothing and have no resistance to it, it will eventually flow through you like a cloud. I think that's the whole point we don't actually have any control and to experience enlightenment you have to fully let go, setting goals or trying to consciously let go is really just holding on tighter

It's really hard to get your head around this, in fact it's impossible because anything created in your mind is just a concept and doesn't exist, so any attempt to understand it would be an illusion. Also in a practical sense there is nothing you can do to be enlightened because by doing something in attempt to achieve something in the illusion of the future woukd specifically take you out of the present and therefore put of pure being. You can't become something you already are and technically there's not even anything to realise, because anything understood on a mental level isn't real. Most enlightened figures say that when they gave up trying is when they became enlightened. I think that's the whole point, you just need to be and let whatever comes flow through you, rather than setting some concept that if you do a,b and c it will lead to enlightenment

Hey Samir, I think to an extent everyone is in the same boat, essentially we can't KNOW what are path is its more something we have to let happen and experience. What we tend to do is try and find it in our mind and think about it constantly and this actually distracts us from it. To get to you have to listen to your body, the signals that it gives, for example there maybe something in the back of your head thats niggling you to do it, could be travel, could be you want to learn something whatever. But what happens is you shut it out because of fear or self limiting expectations. To get to your path you have to get to your true self and that means facing yourself and getting past the fear, then things will become clearer. Things like meditation can help but also just being 100% honest with yourself
