Leo knows this about his followers, he literally said in this thread that's why he does not create physical community: "Then again, any physical New Age spiritual community built around a charismatic teacher is going to take on cult like dynamics. Which is why I never started one. "

This is what happens to radically conscious leaders that do not care about their image. Not so long ago with Bentinho, Leo and now Teal. It's almost like if I would ever look for some new teacher I would check if he had been seriously accused of running a cult/narcisism and if he did not, probably his message is too watered down and has a lot bullshit

Thanks, I will check him out.

See his inner child within. Everyone has scared child inside - gender does not matter. See it within him. Whether it is emotional or cocky dude, see that inside there is always this scared, traumatised child hiding. This helped me feel empathy for people I used to hate.

On a different note it seems crazy to me that we need exams and certifications to drive a car, but no knowledge at all to be responsible for human life. I don't think everyone should be able to be a parent. Of course many problems with that, who would decide that, how and so on, but fundamentally I think there should be some learning required. Think about it. Basically the most important and difficult task - to raise a healthy human being - and still what is the precentage of parents that even though about reading a single book about parenting? Like 0.0001%? All the rest assumes that "it is in them" and that they instinctively know what is best for their kids. And then they just pass on trauma from their parents and so on. On abortion, the line between life and fetus is 100% imaginary. Like some could argue that from the moment zygote is formed then it is illegal to abort it. Some other may say that we can kill a child even after going out of the womb - like maybe 2 years after birth it is still okay to kill it? Some other may argue that sperm already has the potential to be a child, so jerking off should be illegal ( comparison to a brick by some guy earlier may be used exactly the opposite way, that single sperm actually has significantly more potential to be a kid - 0,0000000001% compared to 0 is still infinite times more potential) So we just gotta realise that this line is imaginary, and we should decide as a society at what place in the spectrum this imaginary line would benefit society the most. As I think the less kids the better for our planet, environment, and society at the current level of psychological development of an average parent then I personally would draw the line like to 2 days after birth. Some painless death. The amount of suffering and trauma that is created by forcing kids to live in dysfunctional families, and then they pass on this trauma onto the world for generations is huge imo. So much less suffering for just pushing an imaginary line a little bit further seems good to me. And the soul of this kids is untouched. They will incarnate onto some other, possibly in not so dysfunctional family.

The fact that this insight can be misused as an excuse does not change the fact that it is important factor. The fact that this can be unmotivating for some people is an excuse not to look at the fact of genetics' importance. I think we should advise people to investigate and then transcend. Not ignore.

Well, I do not think that trains are better ultimately. Just it personally seems to me that many of the problems would be solved by them in an elegant way. But I am also hyped about the future of self-driving cars. For me whether it will be trains or self driving cars it boils down to getting rid of that notion of PROPERTY. That in order to be a free human being you have to have your own car. When you don't have to have your own car (via public transport like trains or great web o self-driving cars) then all the problems with huge space required for cars that sit all day 9:00 - 17:00 in city centres are solved. So yeah. I don't really care if it will be trains, buses or self-driving cars. The web that makes owning a car pointless is what I hope for.

Trains actually are the most elegant solution in many problems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oafm733nI6U&ab_channel=AdamSomething

I have similiar situation. There is just so many factors. Speaking relatively maybe your family has good genes but young "Souls" if you believe in souls. Maybe they have good genes but they did not have the perfect ombination of other non-gene factors like childhood trauma etc. Maybe you have a very wise old soul and good genes, but still using Leo's argument you would not be enlightened if you incarnated into dog. So it is important factor but still one of hundreds other necessary for such rare thing as enlightement.

Butt On!

Personality type: 50% INFJ 50% INFP - the results depend on what test I take, and differs between days. The general description makes me more INFP, but some common stereotypes INFJ. I do not know the model enough to decide wheter infj vs infp, so I say 50/50 Appearance - tall, blonde, blue eyes, I have gold circular glasses and ofc handsome I would like to receive general advice about current energy, whatever comes up, also whether I should focus more on spiritual side and let go the material survival stuff or the other way around: pause the spiritual impulse and focus on material stuff first in the next couple of months. Welcome to forum <3

Without you particular life God wouldn't be infinite, so your very life is very important and special.

@Maka @Batman Wheter he makes someone moan by talking with him or not is irrelevant for his awakening. But the fact is for some people with psychic talent weird shit starts to happen when they awaken. So it is ignorant for you to assume wheter he is awakened or not by his external world story. Because awakening is felt inside. And you don't know his direct experience. So it would be cool to raise your openmindedness for a newcomer of the forum and do not assume he is lying when you simply do not know.

I think you will like that video from Ben:

In the next year should I focus more on the material, survival side of things and let go the pull towards spiritual or should I focus on spiritual practives more and let go of fear of material survival side of things?

Good luck, waiting for the story after you come back!

When you do not want anything and are 100% available to the present moment the child-like joy reappears.: 48:00 - 60:00 - Here there was a really cute moment of a older women feeling like a child again on 52:00:

@Michael569 thank you for that guy. Nice resource. How did you get to know him?

@Preety_India I understand and respect that. Sending digital hug.

I too had my first major awakening at 19 lol. I was in deep existential crisis then and thanks to huge psychological suffering and victimhood I had this one year of strong motivation of digging and digging. Then synchronistically "Power of Now" by Eckhart showed up and half year later Jed Mckenna. And of course daily meditation before and after high school. And then one day the universe went silent for 5 minutes and disappeared. But I still had rigid atheistic, logical, materialist mind so after that began the Spiritual transformation of the character that is taking place to this date. Really only after 2 years after that glimpse and after taking 5g of shrooms I really viscerally believed in God (as I). So I would say that this existential dread comes in waves, and it is different for each person. But the end of high school, end of your twenties, mid-life crisis all seem potent to create suffering deep enough to have the motivation to strip away the ego.

Thats like saying "I don't care what is true if it does not benefit me" - and again there is some wisdom to that, and that's good insight but you gotta be hones that you do not care about love or truth, but about your benefit. Which is GOOD. With that logic even if Buddha and Jesus came to you to say "We love you daughter, you are perfect" and maybe it is exact same thing as your abusive ex said and it bring bad memories back, and then you can say that Jesus and Buddha are not loving because they made you feel bad. That is dangerous way of thinking.

If we meet in India someday and I will give you an ice-cream with best intentions of being loving to you, you still may interpret it as "why did you give me ice-cream? do you think I am too skinny? Do you want me to eat some refined sugar poison? Is that your love? I am insulted by that and it is not love." It is important to look on intentions. To try to see love in people's actions.
