This the experiences of life is what propels individuals up the stage. When the dog gets tired of chasing its tail, it will stop and ponder what's really going on, so too will an individual.

We all have disagreements from time to time but I believe it is important to give our flowers to those we appreciate. So I decided to do a Leo Appreciation Thread. My Next Thread Later on will be a User Appreciation Thread where you can give your appreciations for other Users on here who have helped you in some way. Why I appreciate Leo: His vision, his perspective, his openness in his videos, his raw honesty both intellectually and emotionally in his videos. His foray into the pit of consciousness basically experimenting on himself for the pursuit of ever deeper knowledge and the desire to share it with the world. Literally doing the work that the entire Universe desires which is to awaken and to expand onward forever. I appreciate you for building this community of like-minded people so that we have an outlet in which we can share. Be willing to take time out of your schedule to engage with the members which is an invaluable opportunity that people of your status usually place behind a pay wall. I already have What's Your Favorite Leo Video you can check that out and post. But for me this is just an appreciation for all that Leo does. So what do you appreciate Leo for?

What is Projection? Psychology Today defines it as "Unconscious discomfort can lead people to attribute unacceptable feelings or impulses to someone else to avoid confronting them. Projection allows the difficult trait to be addressed without the individual fully recognizing it in themselves." Source: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/projection I have come to a realization today that this concept goes even deeper. It is very close to the concept of awakening as well. I re-watched Leo's Video on Guided Exercise For Realizing You Are God and instantly recognized in that moment that everything was me. Now I of course I already knew this, but I would ignore it and treated it as insignificant. When you in the moment truly recognize everything as you....you truly become compassionate. This what awakening really is, to truly see yourself, or find yourself if you will. "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdWxdhEB19s In that moment I realize all of life is a projection, but not just a little projection it is an ABSOLUTE PROJECTION. You literally cannot have a self as long as you see YOU in everything. Again I knew all the concepts, but I just kept pushing them down, I was denying that everything was me and was "falling asleep again." Its crazy just because you awaken doesn't mean you cannot fall asleep. I also realize what they mean that when you awaken there are no problems, and that anger, frustration is just denial of love. Its so true....its funny. Everything is you....like its really you. So anytime you say things like my life sucks you are just saying you suck. When you say I hate olives, you are saying I hate what I created. Its funny, all of life is really learning to embrace all that you are. Infinity is ridiculous. Learning to embrace Infinity is a tall task. Rape, murder, Genocide, Slavery, Lies, Manipulation, Infinity can express itself in a myriad of ways. Self-sacrifice, honesty, integrity, compassion, forgiveness. You need to accept it all, because it is all you. Your life is literally a projection of Universal Infinite Mind, every object, every feeling, every sense you experience is just a projection of your mind, and the denial that it is you, is just a projection over a projection. Basically you imagine, and then when you don't like the experience, you imagine that someone else created it. Its so funny....God can delude itself....this is the funniest thing!! Whenever you get mad at life, or complain....you are just God being delusional!!!! You can't make this stuff up!!! All of life is Absolute Projection until you accept it as you.

Beautiful post. Yes Reality got your back because its you!! We can submit to reality because it is us. Thank you for sharing this.

Leo is also saying....this very conversation....on this thread....applies

Wait 13 months? I only had bliss for 2 weeks!!! Lol I couldn't handle it after awhile it started to hurt so I started doing grounding exercises...now I miss it lol. But I wouldn't be able to function since my job involves dealing with people and it made me too energy sensitive. I literally could merge with the energy people put out when they speak. So if you were energetically unstable....I could match it and become one with your energy and feel your emotions. I call it energy empathy.

Ahh a kindred spirit!!! Its nice to meet someone who understands!! You too went to the void and returned!!! Yes isn't it amazing that you find out we been lying to ourselves our entire life? Its so freaking funny!! We literally have to lie to stay as a human!! Its the funniest thing!! But yes I'm glad you understand. All those experiences also to me is the greatest accomplishment to me in my life because I finally got to experience the truth, and I STILL haven't gone as deep as I would like. But yes thank you for this post, I feel so loved when another can relate to what I went through. And yes meditation is key, you can remain calm by breathwork and surrendering to the moment. What helps me is I truly believe that I can remain calm. As long as I focus on that I am good. We are all capable of this, some just need more training than others and I know I am no where near the best at centering myself.

Conceptual understanding is not real understanding. You can imagine what it is like to be raped, but understanding rape conceptually is not the same thing as actually being raped. I had the same issue as you, thinking I could awaken conceptually. I understood the teachings conceptually and was like I don't need any mystical experiences. Eventually I decided to have one....YEAH its not even the same. So its funny when I see you here saying what I used to say. But don't worry if you actually choose to have deep mystical experiences...you will realize. The truth is the most powerful, scary, loving thing there is. YOU CANNOT CONCEPTUALIZE INFINITY. That is why I am saying that. The truth cannot even be spoken, mere words cannot even express or explain the infinite because all words are finite, and you think your thoughts which are finite can do what words cannot? But don't worry if you go through it.....you will find out. Now I'm referring to Ego Death. I would advise first that you micro dose for your first experience, take low doses and work your way up over time. But yeah I'll give you a tip. You are not your body, if you experience Ego Death you will leave your body, and if you explode into Infinity...you are not just going to experience it visually you will experience the SENSATION of exploding. You experience full sensations on trips, so trips are REAL and they feel MORE REAL than what we think reality is. Real life is like analog, psychedelic trips are High-Definition. It will completely change the way you LOOK at reality. Good Luck.

You integrate more of your masculine so you can not be triggered and angry at the masculine. Leo is you. Literally you. So I tell you to integrate your masculine because your masculine is YOU. Me telling you to integrate your Masculine is telling you to love yourself. The only reason you cannot accept his tough love, is because you lack self-love. So I AM telling you to be yourself, because you can only truly be who you are, when you accept every part of yourself. https://www.yoga-anatomy.com/why-we-hate-in-others-what-we-hate-in-ourselves/

I didn't tell you guys everything I saw. I had a voice in my head that became devilish, and when I went to the hospital outside I had evil cars coming trying to crash the ambulance. So I experienced some of the crazy stuff you are talking about, but I realize why that happened and it won't happen again. There were certain beliefs I had, and I learned that without the right grounded beliefs....your mind can take you further down the rabbit hole than you thought you could go. So certain possible beliefs I had were killed because I went down that rabbit hole. I also experienced being stuck in a zone where there was no sense of time in the hospital without being allowed to leave the room and had a security guard who was being heavy handed with me and wouldn't let me leave. So yeah I went to the other side, but since this was my first time dealing with this it was all new to me. I went through feeling I was going to get sucked out of a vortex so I couldn't sleep. I kept seeing visions and had trouble sleeping. I went through a lot man, but over time while there I stabilized my mind. I also had to deal with all the energy fluctuations of the people around me who were mentally unstable, we had a person scream bloody murder and run around naked there. So yeah I experienced the other side after my shrooms, edibles, car accident and kundalini awakening. There were a lot of stuff I left out of my report. I'm not speaking from some conceptual, nature I literally deconstructed my mind and had to fight to reconstruct it by telling myself lies that everything around us is real to make reality stable lol. So yeah this victim mentality is what keeps people mentally ill, its why I was able to commit myself and leave when I could argue I was further gone than any of the people there. People don't realize what Leo means when he says reality is groundless, it is literally held together by your belief. If you believe 100 percent that everything around you is fake...it will all disappear. Its the funniest thing to find that out, it shows you the power of your beliefs.

There ya go. Exactly your beliefs determine your reality. I'm glad you saw that.

The answer is you would fall in love with anything. He mentioned it on a video that when you truly awaken a door stopper will amaze you with its beauty. So the point is all of life becomes amazing, you basically enter heaven on Earth in perspective. Think of wearing glasses that you can put on that make you see love everywhere, except those glasses...are permanently on forever.

Who is Ocean man? Also I agree you don't have control. If she cheats better to find out early versus later on. If she doesn't she will love the fact you trusted her. Either way you never have any control over someone, not completely at least but you do have partial control which is called influence. The more someone trusts you the more influence you have, and if that trust is combined with respect it will be almost like having a slave. So seek to grow in trust and influence while using that power for good.

Haven't seen you in a while welcome back!!! Ahhh that wonderful word balance...how doth thou eluded those who pursue thee the most.

I'm not an expert on schizophrenia so I won't pretend to be. But I would take a guess that saying mystical experiences are largely positive in nature is again based on a perspective. For example some people say there are no bad trips, because they choose to see each experience in a positive light. I'd take a venture the one deciding whether something is positive or not is the person going through the experience itself.

Guilt is denial of what is true. What is true is you were never guilty. Your higher self will never judge you, judgment only resides in the ego. Your human self is born empty handed and dies empty handed. So there is no value in any of those things you listed outside of the value you place on them. So do them at your own pace, and adjust your standards to fit where you are. You are worthy of love from yourself. You are complete. No accomplishment will ever define you, its a hard lesson you will learn. No accomplishment will ever make you feel complete. Now with that said it is important to keep the promises you make to yourself so choose things you know you want to do and slightly choose more challenging things gradually over time.

... an awakening cannot be conceptual. But don't worry, if you do have a mystical experience....you will realize that lol.

Very well written post. Informative, historical, good narrative. I'm more concerned about the economic state of Millennials when they hit retirement age.

Again like I said earlier none of these changes will be long lasting. Think of this as the last fight of a dying beast. The generation in power determines the laws. All the people doing this are not the millennials, once the millennials take office in all of the major branches all of these things are going to be overturned so I don't even care. Its the money problems that is going to be more of an issue for this country.

Hmmm this is an interesting question. You said you don't believe psychiatrists are in the business of ontological truths.... That would be an interesting question. I think some of them do and obviously some don't. Pretty interesting subject. I'd argue JP's argument and others similar to him would believe ontological truth is only as true as our ability to map it, measure it, and track it over time.

I plead the 5th your honor

I agree I have heard the same thing. 24/7 I wonder how their sleep is like?

Its still called a game... inner game, outer game, mind game, the game of life, the flow, the zone, the vibe, the moment, zen, yoga, attraction, whatever you wanna call it, the process, its all game. Hell there is an NBA player named Joel Embiid his NICKNAME is "The Process." So yeah its all game.

The denial is strong with you..... its amazing actually. All I'm doing is showing you what you stated and its like a deer in headlights. Also projection again saying I don't like you, when did I say that? If you do not see the level of projection you are doing I don't know what to tell you. You keep making a lot of assumptions about what people are thinking. I think you are a very creative and bright user on this forum and I'm a fan of that thread you have called "I've encountered a spirit and it's living with me." Ask me anything and any advice? Majority of people on this forum actually care about Jordan Peterson. If they didn't they would not be commenting on this forum. You have been mischaracterizing a lot of people on this thread when I can see love they have for him. The OP himself admires JP I also complimented him many times but for some reason you are taking people's disappointment in JP as if they are disappointed in you. Nobody is perfect, not me, not you, and not JP. He isn't above following his own advice. The very things he told the Muslims, he should do himself.

I came across this a while back. I hope it helps.
