I had this insight about a week before Leo shot his new Distinctions/Learning vid, and I thought it might be useful to someone.. Maybe you can do this as an exercise. So hear the sound of a lions roar in your mind.. Now, hear the sound of a motorbike whizzing past you.. Note that both sounds are different, yet they are both made of the same thing, a thought! I could clearly see how two things can be different and at the same time, be one. I then thought of colours and emotions and scents and shapes.. They all seemed to be different, but all made from one thing, thought. And now, because I've done a few years of conscienceness work, I saw that it applies to the (real world) too, and that fundamentally, everything including the thoughts, are made of the same thing, awareness, or oneness, or whatever you want to call it.

I can completely relate to you. Here's my story so far.. I saw Leo's first Spiritual Enlightenment video, and had a small awakening of what I should do with my life. I gave up everything, and moved country to live by myself and really give the spiritual path a go. I worked hard for four years, meditating, contemplating, reading etc, only to get disillusioned with it all after not much growth and a lot of suffering. So I licked my wounds and moved home and went back into society and started again. After 6 months of that an opportunity to travel to India came up, so I went. I found myself alone again after friends had gone to a beach town. So I decided to meditate again, but this time I changed the technique. After hearing about how we hold on to childhood traumas in our muscles, I started to concentrate on letting go of tension, mainly in my stomach, chest and face. This changed everything and helped me soooo much. I found that I was holding on to a lot of bad memories from my youth, and that I was completely closed off from most things due to the tension in my body. I've made more progress in the last 4 months than the previous 4 years! Life now is by no means easy, I still have dark moments, but I'm having cool insights along the way and feeling like I'm growing all the time! Hang in there son. Maybe try a different technique or teacher or country? I mean, what else is there to do.. Start a family, get a job, buy a house?? Anyone can do that stuff.

Does anyone get small headaches whilst doing Enlightenment work? I had one the other day, then I went dizzy.. Then for the rest of the day, I was on a high. Weird!
