  1. Hi, I went to university to study education in Canada in 2011. The education reform that the government created is very positive. However teachers are too slow at changing and entrenched in their bad habbits to make the necessary changes so schools continue on in much the same way even though now their actions are considered unconstitutional and illegal! Yes thats right schools were created and operate with hidden agendas to industrialize children and make them into people trained to, do what authority figures say without questioning it, accept that the institutions agengas will be hidden in a hierarchy of non-transparent owners, believe that the information given is the best information they can learn, get used to having their individual culture, situation and needs ignored, being put on an even playing field with other students which is not fair, be subjected to hidden forms of racism, sexism, and the list goes on. Governments know all of this now and teachers contracts and training make all of this not a part of what school is supposed to be now. But this amazing education reform we all studied in university is not enforced. It is allowed to slowly trickle its way into schools when new teachers arent too lazy do something about it. The burden rests fully on teachers to change it now and its alot of pressure, but it is their job. Governments put sociology in the center of their education reform, so now every lesson and situation must be based in sociological agendas that result in activism, this is law now! Still I do not recommend schools, because they take children from their families for too much time, keep them inactive sitting in chairs, dont show interest in their ideas etc. When I meet highschool kids 9 out of 10 have never been encouraged to think their own thoughts and have no idea how to, its really scary. They get used to being a mindless joke given away to a manipulative institution by their own parents, too sad. And we wonder why they are pissed off! I Recently came across John Taylor Gatto on the internet, his research goes even further showing that schools were designed to make people feel stupid, to break them psycologically. Its all out there if you want to learn about schools. I certianly felt this was the case when I was in school. School is a baby sitter used to keep kids locked up so that their parents can work 8 hour shifts for capitalists. There is this myth that you need highschool education to get a job and get money. Its not true, if you learn something real youll know how to do something real and get paid for it. If you are an amazing person people will want to work with you. If you are creative and a good problem solver you can create your own work or even better not work. Corrupt leaders dont want rebellions pressuring them to be just, thats why their schools keep our most powerful force locked up, the youth!
  2. I find that investing in rew materials that can be transformed into finished products by artisans is the best way to multiply cash systems. As long as you know how to sell the products. For example you buy wood someone makes furniture you sell it and split the profits, you buy cloth someone makes clothes, etc. These projects are more artistic, human and rewarding as well youll learn alot more and know what your cash is doing and choose who profits.
  3. I looked over the designs, very slick, what I had imagined would be sellable in Paris. Do you design these clothes? I was wondering if you do drawings too? The clothes I sell are quite different more hippy I think, so I dont know much about your style. Here is something weird that I started to do when designing, when I am making something to sell I imagine myself as being in contact via ESP with the person who wants to buy it, I dont make just what I want to make, I make what they want me to make for them, with the colour combinations, for example, I try to choose what they want. This helps me make clothes that have a more profesional look instead of overly creative or wacky, because thats what people would want to wear. Also the clothes I sell have a type of almost costume like catagory one could put them in, this helps people be able to choose if this is something they want instead of being confused about it.
  4. Neill, you may be too evolved to enjoy working for a capitalist who makes piles of money not doing the work they hate to do - your job! You may be too evolved to be enthusiastic about being forced into a manipulative institution that is designed to make you feel stupid, and get used to working mindlessly in capitalist industry - right class, school. I suggest you feel lucky that you can feel something other than sheepish willingness and be your own boss, thats right- dont work for other people, invent your own reality -I know you want to Philip lets try using your weaknesses as strengths, all we have to do is organize them differently. Try this out - First put on shoes and sports clothes and go outside, second smoke bowl, third run to park and rip around the track for half an hour, fourth buy bannanas and junk food to snack on after the inspiring run, fifth go home and draw up plans for creative projects before the weed wears off, sixth do all of this in a meditative state and your good to go.
  5. I agree, most of us are in an extremely unnatural situation, but we have gotten so used to it that we dont realize the synthetic structure of our lives is the underlying reason for so much of our confusion and suffering. We are so far off from what we are evolved to be that we have no idea what it would feel like to be a normal human being. The normal we think we are trying to be is a hugely manipulated social experiment in capitalist industrial profit making. I always wondered why things felt so weird, uncomfortable and wrong but its because the foundation of the institutions controlling my life never had my best interests in mind. But I am feeling much better now. I have learned to get some of the skill a real evolving human being needs to feel good. These are what they are, spend alot of time in the natural world, build your own house, make your own clothes, know every plant and animal in your area and how to use them, grow your own food, collect food in the wilderness, have a detailed moral/social code, work 1.5 hours per day in general, live with old and young people, cook with fire, make natural health care products and medicines,make bow and arrows, make footwear, train to be strong, have a secure self defense, be epic in general etc. Knowing how and doing these things helps me deal with the problems of the industrialized world. Ooo that reminds me I have to go to the woods tomorrow and get mushrooms!
  6. Thats great news, you have made progress thats normal, you wont be stuck for long it seems. I want to say that a person of your age should be epic and know it. Being epic means that you know the tricks and know that if the girl does end up with you shes a really lucky girl. If she makes the mistake of rejecting the opportunity, her loss. If a girl laughs at you or doesnt like you - good. Thats part of normal reality. My wife laughs at me, and at times doesnt like me but every night she still wants to rock! Because she knows she ll love it. Thats what you have to know, how to have something special to offer, when you believe this they will be interested in finging out who this epic master really is.
  7. Do you have a place that we could see your work, especially those from your own collection? My brand is called CeltaPatch on Facebook, there you can see what I made and have sold so far.
  8. Joining a religion I have not done, but I am sure it is different for each person so I cant imagine comparing typing into my computer to joining a religion. The traps one might imagine that we all need to avoid using this forum, may be just what someone else needs, in some way, to kick off their new life, who knows. I am just having fun here, not at all worried about going wrong in some way, I am sure a silly website cant do that to me. I think humans evolved in groups so we have a natural urge to be with others whit whom we have alot in common. Any group is a group because they agree on certian important things, if not they would join another group. If everyone agreed with me all the time what would that feel like? Too funny, like a fiction that would never happen, I find people so opinionated and normal that most of the time they cant grasp my way of interpreting reality or how I respond to it, no one in my life agrees with me very much, thats why I like this site its full of educated people I can relate to and learn from, what a relief. This helps me feel like I am not the only one I will ever meet who is actively self-actualizing. But here is the true benefit for me, through this typing work, I put some of my ideas into a comunicable form, this helps me analyze them and be more inspired about my self- actualization, this is exciting for me and doesnt happen much with people I know.
  9. For me the trap might be something other than having others agree with you too often. Its spending too much time with your computer instead of in your natural world. And maybe you could be studying a higher quality of information from other sources. I have already done alot of these two things so for me this is fun and a way of seeing what people talk about, how they talk about it and respond to eachother. It is inspiring and disappointing too but I take the good that I can and enjoy the process without needing it to be too serious either way its very interesting for me, so thanks.
  10. Hi Ana Maria, I have my own clothing buisness now so I understand some of what you are talking about. I see your problems this way. You are too critical and hard on yourself and use the capitalist buisness system to frame some of your interpretations which is not the only choice. First I want you to relax take a deep breath and get ready for the good news. You have a temporary confusion that is really easy to overcome just by looking at what you have done from another perspective. You have done an amazing thing here going to school and finishing it - congratulations really that is awsome. Please never think of your final year as a failure again. It was a hard thing to do and you succeeded. I know we can feel down when our stuff doesnt sell, or when we know we didnt do what we know we could have but these things are just a matter of the energy we had at the time. We cant ever expect to take full advantage of every opportunity and perform at 100 % all of the time. You work really hard, too hard maybe because you expect alot of yourself and the capitalist world of schools and buisness put alot of disfunctional expectations in our heads. The good thing is that you have learned a ton of stuff from your intense experiences, youll never forget all of this and will always have the opportunity to use your knowledge in new projects. I want you to take my word for it you should be proud of your work and learning and really believe it, not for the product but the learning you did. Now as a proud designer go back to the school and ask those teachers for that job you want and get on your way. As well you can work in a restauraunt, or as a seasonal fruit picker, or in a healthfood store, this doesnt mean that you are giving up on your passion for design, you can make cash, eat well and do the designs when you get home or when you get inspired. Take it easy drop the importance you put on pressureing yourself theres no rush. I work slowly, draw my designs and make patterns, buy a few kilos of cloth, cut them out and sew them up. I take them to stores to sell and put on consignment and sell on the weekend in the market. Its a relaxing life slow and minimalist but I really enjoy combining the colours, using nice cloth and finding out what to make and how to sell little by little. Keep your bills low and stress low is my advice. I believe in you, you have alot of great options and theres no reason that you cant do a bit of each thing , or do whats practical first then the artistic as you get time to. You have alot of years ahead of you to figure out how your buisness can work smoothly. Ask me anything else you want to. Good luck!
  11. You have changed them. Everything is constantly changing and the examples you exhibit change the people that come in contact with you. You can take control of what you talk about with them and how you talk, even what you do together and where. You can suggest things in the conversation indirectly. You can control the climate and direction of your conversations in a way that gets them thinking about what you want them to think about. This is manipulation but you use it to make things better so its positive. You can trick them into changing. Tell them that you are thinking about changing some things and ask them for advice. The message is, 1 we change ourselves, 2 we talk about it and support eachother 3 I believe in you as a person who might be able to understand and help someone change. The more ways that you show the person you believe these type of things the more they will open up to these posibilities. Work on it subily and enjoy the process, also let yourself off the hook if you have little success just trying and learning is good enough. Its time to experiment not get frustrated with them. These experiments show that when you believe in people you change them for the better Rosenthal and Jacobson's results demonstrate a powerful self-fulfilling prophecy. Students believed to be on the verge of great academic success performed in accordance with these expectations; students not labeled this way did not. Later research has supported Rosenthal's original conclusion, that teacher expectations can have a substantial effect on students' scholastic performance. I wish you well.
  12. Alot of us have had to live with parents who don´t communicate well or have education about parenting or whats best for children. As children we automatically believe that we are the combination of both parents we are both of them put together in one person. If Someone says something bad about your Mom you feel like they are saying it about you. If your parents treat eachother badly it feels like they are treating you badly, we take personally any attack against a parent, no one deserves this. Perspectives you can adopt They didnt know any better, they never learned to do it differently, they learned to interpret reality this way and react this way ---- Not their fault. Just what they had learned so far in life. Not that they wont learn other things, it just hasnt happened yet. Forgive them and be sure to create a better dynamic in your own family where the children dont have to worry or be subject to anger all the time. 2. Thank them for everything you got from them, deeply feel greatful for what they did do, what they could do for you. Gave you a cozy home and a bed, 1000s of meals they put on the table for you, changed your diapers, sent you to school, took care of you the best they could. Now because of them you have a base, a life that you can now do with whatever you want to. You can learn to be better every day, because they gave you a start, not a perfect one but not too bad either. Look them in the eyes and say thanks for everything. 3 You can become wise enough that all of this can change. If your goal is that your parents are happy and your family healed and you prove to yourself that you dont need to be depressed, I would say, yes this can happen if you find out how to do it, and it can be you who iniciates it and sees it through. You might also detach yourself from needing them to be one way or another and live your dreams out the way you want to or maybe both, there is no limit here on this. There is a way, stay hopeful, positive and keep learning.
  13. Hi I read your conversations, it seems that you have focused on debating the idea that you are not dreaming of Leo because this is not a cult. I trust your instinct on this so I want to offer a fresh perspective. You were dreaming about Leo, maybe you arent any more, If this hasnt happened yet I see it as a posability, this could easily change. You can also make it change, I have experienced dreaming as a more conscious activity. Think about what you want to dream about for a while before bed and pick the topics of your dreams. Create a sacred circle for your mind. Protect your thought space by deciding who enters and who doesnt in your mental space. Only allow thoughts of the people or things you want to think about enter your protective circle. If thoughts of someone you dont want to think about enter you say , No. You are not invited here I will not think about you, what you have said or anything about you, then return to thinking about what you were thinking about before or something new. If you do not watch videos of his or allow thoughts about him to happen, and fill this mental space with things you do want you can effect what you spend time thinking about. In my experience dreams come from thoughts we are working on during the day. So think of exclusively other things for a while is my advice. You can also learn to become lucid in your dreams. Get the instructions if you want to, it worked for me, its real. By the way why is dreaming about Leo bad?
  14. Good, I agree that your goals are worthy, but you have made an easy mistake with the nature of my advice. I am not suggesting that you try to just make friends with girls, only that you change the way you think about your objectives when talking to them. Basically the idea is you can get better results use your mind more fully. I am suggesting something new for you here, that if you can master it will give you new results, and that is what you want right? The idea is this I want you to convince the part of your mind that gets nervous about girls that you are just talking to a friend so that it can relax and not get wound up about how not to mess up the sexual goals. You will need to start using a part of your mind that we will call the trainer. It can tell the other parts of the mind what they need to believe in order for you to get what you want. Normally we think of beliefs as being things that we think are true, but here I want you to introduce beliefs into your mind that you know aren´t completely true in order to trick the disfuctional parts of your minds programming into behaving differently and letting you out of the nervous traps they put you into. Think about what it is like to just talk to a friend, everything flows, its fun and easy, you are interested in just hearing what they have to say, there are no alterior motives putting any pressure on the situation, just being in the moment with them is enjoyable. Focus yourself on these feelings and images and pay attension to how you feel when you are talking to friends so that you can return to this state. You know what it is like and how to create it. Another thing that should make you nervous is that you want to do something that you are new at and haven´t practiced. Good we need to go into uncharted waters. Dont worry about the sex thing it all comes naturally and is fun. But if you really want to dazzle the ladies get informed about sex and how it can be done well. If someone handed me a welding torch and said Weld me up a sculpture Buddy, I would feel nervous because I dont know how to weld. But if I had read the manuals first I wouldnt be so afraid, I would be eager to try out my techniques and learn along the way. Another thing is most girls would like to really be friends before sex anyway, it makes the sex more interesting and more fun. Just to recap my primary advice, practice and get used to telling yourself that when you are talking to someone you are just talking to a friend, you know that this feels, fun, easy, interesting and light. Treat them the way you treat friends to really convince your mind of what you want it to believe, and youll have a fun easy time with the girls then have the chance to move on to other activities later once you have proven to yourself that you had nothing to worry about, everything went Ok.
  15. Hi if you are like most of us you learned to have these expectations, over a long period of time. You were trained to interpret peoples actions and have a response without being conscious of this. Almost all of our parenting was wound up around expectations and how we are meeting them or not. To untrain a long term training like this also takes time. You may have to analyze what your expectations are and if your parents, made a big deal about these things too. Where did you get these ideas is the question first. Then once you know where these ideas came from you can see them for what they are just someone elses ideas that you learned without knowing it. You are taking for granted that what you learned is really important. If it doesnt work for you and you know its wrong you can begin to identify when you automatically react to your learned interpretation and stop for a moment. Observe yourself making these mistakes and have a new way of handling the situation ready to try when you get the chance. This can be really fun, trying out new responses to situations that you learn from good sources. If these new ways of treating the situation work keep them if not try new ones. Dont get mad at yourself if you forget to stop and do the retraining process it is all new and takes time and effort. But once you get good at this you can change the way your mind works. I am talking about working on the problem from the inside out. But maybe there is a way your partner can also change one small thing at a time too with you, this also is reasonable in a relationship that two people care about. Let me know what you think.
  16. I used to be nervous about appearance, I thought others were looking at me my clothes, my haircut and judging me. One day I had a revelation, it went like this ¨Wait a minute! I am not looking at peoples clothes and hair and judging them, I dont have time, energy or interest enough to do that - so why have I been thinking that they are doing it to me it was never true. And if they are doing this and think something bad about me they can fuck off! Perfect with this new belief I could be free of interpreting others looking at me as judging me and not give power to anyone pathetic enough to waste their time on it. I think the way you think about yourself and others determins how you look more than clothes and haircuts. More important to think about what kind of woman am I interested in attracting, one who cares about my appearance or everything else that I am - because there are lots of each type of woman out there. I am so used to just picking clothes for me and no one else that when someone judges my clothes I just laugh at the whole idea and give a bow. If you know what you want and are creative, are confident in your decisions, focus in important things instead of hair gel you might attract someone more interesting because these invisible things will be obvious and noticed by women more than clothes. Seriously I never think to look in the mirror at all my personality is my strong feature, now I have a hot wife that I love being with, what can I say.
  17. Using good habbits is different for me now than it used to be because I am used to changing habbits as soon as I decide to now, my determination and will to experiment is strong enough to change anything I do without questioning my decisions. The resistance to change is gone I trust myself because my experience has shown me that I can without fear,I choose my habbits. So my idea of good habbits is a bit different now. Best habbit ever - create your mind the way you want it to be by trying out new ideas/ treat them as beliefs about how you interprets things, responds to things, what your objectives are, what you sees as important or even better not important. Here is an example, if someone does something you dont like instead of getting mad at them you can try this mindframe ¨ I am deciding I want to findout why it happened and understand their motivations as best I can so I know the person better. The more I know about how they really work the better off I am. Ill learn alot more by being nice and asking questions than attacking people with criticism etc.¨ There you go a new habbit to try out everytime you get the chance. Just try to stop the old habbit and experiment with the new one youll have to remember to, thats all. You may find dramatic results in your favour. Other ideas get truthful about stuff and do what you know you should every time you get the chance. Dont live a lie for any reason Keep your senses alert to learning - Learn to get better information from everything around you and try using it enough to see if it really is good Enjoy life - slowdown enough to feel how good the world is and appreciate it Let go of making the wrong stuff important - almost anything can be seen as not important enough to ruin your day, worry about etc. Trust yourself more than others when it comes to doing what you know want to do. Thanks for the advice but I am going to do it my way this time Find the calm place between polarized extremes and let go of them, see extremes a dramatic imbalance, its like saying no icecream / only icecream, or a balance need to want or fear icecream Play with children, let them make decisions and follow their lead, learn from them instead of being the big boss. Act like I am retired, no more working for capitalists, I work how and when I want to. Fasting , cleansing the industrial junk out of my body while learning to have an iron discipline Find and memorize then experiment with good comunication techniques (NVC, Restitutions) stop using automatic communication practices and try new ones out one by one. Communication is your connection to everyone else, dont mess it up, get good at it so you can be together. Listen to your intuition train yourself to hear it better and follow its advice Go to nature and interact with it - eat the fruit, swim in the rivers, walk up the mountains, build fires and cook there, bring some stuff from there to your home Make your own stuff instead of buying stuff Play music Decide not to have addictions ever Dont let people force you to listen to them if you dont want to be weird and love it
  18. @Cdub248 What will happen need not be feared jump into the river they told me and I was happy I did. Our minds have been trained for years to be the way they are, from parents, TV, Schools, friends examples. When you self-actualize you begin to walk a new path that requires truth. Alot of the stuff you learned is not true- 10000s of things that you take for granted and use everyday to interpret and respond to reality. Even more potent than this you also believe that all of this is you. For you to exist and work the way you do now nothing need change - But thats not what you want anymore you are challenging this whole constructed reality you have been handed and want to start reconstructing it in a way would will like( a whole lot better). Problem is you need something to run your life during the process - your old self concept is being broken apart because it is not true and you want it out of your way but the new person you want to be isnt fully ready to take over either it needs training and experience - this is why the old you doesnt want to hand over the reigns. There is a balance here to find so that you dont destroy too much of the old mind; which gives you a crazy feeling, before the new one is ready. The process does take you into unknown territory, I like to be tough on people so I advise going a bit crazy be agressive in stopping living the lies, let go of the need to be stable and predictable, give yourself the free time and space to evolve as much as you can. Trust that letting go of what doesnt serve you is better than staying with the same old that you dont like. I think you are going to find the instability will giveway to a new more open perspective - relax and enjoy the ride
  19. I have heard that it is good to except your emotions let them do what they do, you have a right to have them. If I think about sad stuff I get sad if I think about happy stuff I get happy. Dont dwell too much on sadness it gets stronger the more you let it dominate your thoughts. We are told that being happy is what we want so sadness can be hard to except or a deep sadness overwhealming. But in self development I see it as a mourning process that one instinctively has when one realizes something is dying away, a self concept or part of the ego. It is also sad to realize everything that you lost, couldnt have, destroyed, got taken away from you etc. All of the possabilities you didnt get. A sort of what if, if only I had known sooner or how unfair. Polarized in the negative- To remedie this one thinks in this momemt I am OK. I have everything ahead of me and Ill always be learning, Nothing is perminant you can learn to taste emotions and not be controlled by them observe them. the emotions are not you. When emotions are not so important to you they will give way to peace
  20. I also wanted to say I watched Bentinho Massaro´s video, and I liked it because he really went all out with his explanations and the vocabulary he uses strikes me as useful. I had written some similar stuff to share but was a bit shy about posting it because I wasnt sure if people would think it was too off the wall. But I see that some people are thinking the same things so it helps me be more open when I share with others to hear these videos. I also feel that thinking about the topics we are discussing on Leo´s Forum and putting these thoughts into words helps me manifest what I want in my life so thanks to everyone who is participating and creating here together this is alot more fun than facebook
  21. I think there is a big awakening that started small years ago that will end up surprizing alot of people. It seems to have an exponential speed that is excellerated by the amount of people noticeing it, responding to it and discussing it. The effects are coming to a threathold where they now do not go unnoticed by our present awareness. If the exponential speed continues the effects will become even more noticable and quite strong. Awakening and sleeping are natural cycles of consciousness experienced by different parts of our beings in different ways. Its like going on a long trip, you sleep part of the way and when you awaken you will be surprized at the new place you have arrived in because the vehicle you are in hasnt stopped travelling when you slept mother earth was at the wheel the whole time. So you wake up and find a you have to adapt to being awake in this new place and time with new technologies to adapt to etc. Being awake now means you can be inspired, manifest easily, learn alot more alot faster, use new technologies both machanical and spiritual, have a heightened connection to intuition. Also I should mention that we are being called to wake up, because when we wrer asleep alot of stuff happened, we need to get informed and get on the ball.
  22. Its a gift, its a happy time, its what we have been waiting for. Ok, I dont know what it is called but I do think its worth while paying attension to. The magical world is being revealed again little by little for some reason. I noticed that with the intuition as well the more I pay attension to it the clearer and more real it becomes. Forget about trying to reason it down to a feasable explanation, play with it and try to stay in a bright mood thats where it shows up for me. Ti may become useful for all of in some way afterwards, for now it allows us to break free of the stale unmagical world we have been made to endure.
  23. Ya I do, I have a pretty amazing friend who was talking to me about the 2012 energy thing this was in 2009. I told her I thought 2015 was the special year not 2012. She just looked at me bugeyed. But then in 2015 I noticed a heightened magic. To be more specific more coincidences happening really often, so many that I started writing a list of them because I couldnt believe it. To me this means that I am on the right path. Also a spooky thing happens to me, when I think about things people near me having conversations say the words I was thinking. Like for example I am on the bus today these dudes are talking behind me, I think ¨ Id like potatoes for supper tonight¨ and they say instantly ¨ did you get the potatoes?¨ then it happens again and again. Proving to me that there is something weird going on . But it only happens when I am in a good frame of mind. If I get down about things in general it shuts off. Ill check out the videos.
  24. Hi, maybe you are nervious because mainstream society teaches us to have some weird expectations about what should happen when we talk to girls and these examples make real situations difficult . I know that talking to girls can be a high tension situation because of sexual attraction and how we are shown to deal with it. Society has a way of amping up importance warping norms about sexuality this can be really stressful because get caught up in these warped examples and dont know how to react in real life You may be feeling the confusion of what the heck you should be doing - thinking- planning etc. when it comes to these girls. Yes of course its weird and disfunctional the whole thing they show us on TV so get some good skills from books so you are not lost and nervous. It may help to drop all of the hype and just think of your goal with girls as being fun friends nothing morethe same as boys. This may allow you to relax and drop all of the expectations and worries. It is great being just friends for a while with no pressure right, you dont have to rush into planning anything else for now. See how this feels, The most I want from this girl is to be friends, or even better¨ we are already friends, I treat her as a friend. ¨I am sure they will appreciate this
  25. It will be fun, give that TV to someone else so it is not in your house, sa fait du bien! Or if you like sell it and buy books, a frizbee, a baseball glove, paints and canvas or whatever you want to do. I love having free time to improvise with. I can hang out with friends, go to the beach or the woods, learn to make jam or fix electronics,I have time to do Whatever I feel like because I dont have a TV, or work for other people, or go to school. Fill your time with your ideas not someone elses. Tres bien cheri, bon chance!
