How do you know that? what if there's no need for it? it's possible that they are self aware.

It's the same, since the realization of "that" being the only thing in a non-dual way, means there's no I am. The idea of these being two separate things is maya.

I would like to share a nice trick and also hear your discoveries of a simillar nature. When getting in touch with your body ask yourself: "What do I not feel?" "What do I not see?" "What do I not hear?" Don't answer the question it's not an inquiry. Just stay mindful and see what happens. Also don't rush between them, ask and be patient. Tell me about your expirience with it When I do it it gets me an amazing focus.

@bobbyward It's very intresting, I didn't realize this. Did you try it though?

In the recent year I've become very intrested in all topics of self actualization. It shocking how most people are immediately showing resistance to these subjects. Most of time people feel offended and say I'm so arrogant for talking about these things. Did you have similar experiences? Should we just keep to ourselves? It feels like priceless knowledge, and to withold it really does feel like a sin.

I've been thinking a lot about how the constant blabbering is ruining beautiful concepts by turning them into cliches.

Hi everyone I would like to hear your opinion about a project im working on. I'm a student and I've picked to focus on Actualization for my project. I want to develop a concept of an app that will help you with this process of self actualization. Meanwhile it focuses on bringing up quotes from a different subjects database (relationships, buisness, etc) Please tell me what would ypu expect to have in such an app. How would you interact with it daily? Your input is very valuable to me. Thank you

@Moritz221 Thank you so much. You just gave me a great idea

I like the idea about affirmations reminder Would you guys want a notification sayin "meditate now"?

This community is so beautiful : ) I just wanted to express my gratitude to you all. I'm deeply enjoying reading and answering your posts! Thank you

Hello everyone, I would like to hear your expirience in implementing that concept in your life. Lately I have been wondering wether I got it right. Sometimes it feels like I want to speak out, but then I ask myself, is it worth the possible arguments? What if the lower self wanted to make trouble. How can you tell between a lower self and higher self opinion?

Hey man, I used to affirm that also, until I realized it's in negative form. not dependant. Affirmation work only in positive form.

Tell me how you opened your mind to spirituality. I see how hard it is to hear the same old cliches and dismiss such beautiful ideas.

What if the true self were selfish? then you are selfish in an unselfish way ; ) We must accept our selfishness, it's an inseparable part of us, but at the same time ask what is this self we are selfish about. (we don't/can't know)

Being enlightened you do the most purposeful things without ever intending to. You might say that seeking a purpose from spiritual point of view is clutching to certainty. (You want to be sure your have found your "life purpose") There's a share of truth in this very statement. They realised their neediness, and therefor don't need it : )

There cannot be an experience without an experiencer, and visa versa. This suggests that they are the same. Imagine a world without experiences, who would logically be an experiencer? Credit to Alan Watts of course : )

In one of the last videos leo drew a beautiful metaphor of thoughts questioning thoughts collapse and tear a hole in consciousness through which light can shine through. So yes indeed the mind is used to collapse itself : ) You can't know that intellectually, since "mind" is only logical in terms of "not-mind". And if all were mind there wouldn't be such a definition. Come to think about it, everything you ever experience or know is an interpretation of the mind. So it's true from a metaphysical point of view. I think that the experience of that is exactly what that famous saying means. "All is one," which of course is illogical and thus ridiculed.

Now riddle me this, how can one be selfish without knowing one's true nature. Who is selfish?

Exactly! The mindfulness is allowing you to see the ways in which the lower self tricks us into unconsciousness. We should also consider that mindfulness alone without understanding the subtle ways in which the ego tricks us might not be enough.

The thing I was trying to find out was, how from close mindedness somehow you suddenly open your mind? What's the trigger or the key to shift? Right now I am open minded, or at least want to be : ) Im looking for ways to influence my family and friends to discover they same beauty, but in very subtle ways.

I think a meditation habbit is the most powerful of all. At least for me By the looks of it, you suffer from monkey mind. And it creates the fog, makes you restless and focused too much on immediate results. Personal development, is a 1000 jorney, which is built 1 step at a time, and in a beautiful way they all connect to singular path of feeling on track.It's about connecting the dots and see a new big picture. Start very small, and see what bugs you the most. Being mindful is important to find clues of these troubling thoughts. I hope i could help dude. Welcome and good luck fellow travler

We always hear how we should, live our life giving to others, forgetting about ourselves. But how do you do that? How to manage your life in such a way?

After watching Leo's new video about the nature of the true self, where he is saying to actively seek for it. I keep wondering if the process of looking should be any different, since it's basically proving to yourself that you don't exist.

I appreciate your detailed reply Arik, Right now I'm not familiar with many techniques, except for looking. I don't have much time to research more methods, and i trust that Leo's method is the best I can get realistically. How do you practice acceptance?
