Chadders

@Schizophonia It doesn’t bother me like that it’s just like this minor irritation that I have noticed. I go so frequently to that place I end up observing the exact same patterns of behaviour and think oh here they are again. My inner introvert in me is partly to blame. I prefer to be undisturbed having said this I really truly don’t get the sense people deeply appreciate the nature in the same way. But this is like saying most people think spiritually is woo woo bullshit

@Carl-Richard tbf I could have it ass backwards as Leo says. Fair enough I just find it mildly irritating. I like to walk undisturbed by constant dog walkers doing the same thing. Sorry if I have offended any dog walkers. It just strikes me as very unintentional and process orientated but they may unlike me be the real inner Buddha lol

@StarStruck when I go for a walk I sometimes just stop walking in random places and become completely present. There’s something about stopping in unusual places that connects with the spirit like normally you might go to a particular spot and stop to look or sit down but do it in places that no other person ever would do it. The more random the more interesting. Don’t care what other people think when they walk by looking at you

@fopylo 3. Start investing money. I have FINALLY gotten the trading app for my phone, a comfy one. My goal for this year was to finish watching a playlist of like 70 videos of someone explaining about investing. I have stupidly rushed into buying some QQQ stocks because I think it might be good but mostly because of FOMO and that I am not managing to invest time to learn about investment. I would suggest you proceed with caution when it comes to trading. IMO trading is a mugs game. It’s basically gambling and you can lose a hell of a lot of money. Only professional traders know how to play the game and even they can lose a ton of money. Are there other ways to make money? New career or vocation? 5. Get back to music. This has been so long lost that it isn't something I think about anymore. I haven't touched the piano really for like a little over 2 years (basically when I started my job of serving the country). This has been a long lost dream, really. I don't have much emotion now writing this. The only reason I felt like writing it is because I really like to whistle and I know that I am musically gifted. This I like. Music is good for the soul and good to connect creatively in ways that can be shared with others

@Someone here Hmmm I would not say the same in my experience. Personally I just let go completely of the outcome and just follow my heart. I don’t try to control or manipulate anything so I don’t think to myself oh if I think more this way I’ll get that. It’s not up to me whatever the hell happens if it happens it happens I learnt from deep connection with the spirit that most of my life is out of my control. I just follow my heart and passion and take time to empty my mind of thought in nature to intuitively gain insights into where I should go next.

@Emerald That will depend on the generation though. The average is more than a 2 year gap for those in their 20s and 30s. I know plenty of women who are dating guys 10-15 years older For those in their 50s and 60s the age gap is around 2-3 year difference

@PenguinPablo I have not reached the kind of consciousness levels that Leo has but I’m conscious enough to get what he means by this. To jail break your mind is to understand how reality ACTUALLY works. This is where deep intuition comes from when you access the ethereal dimension ie the dimension of consciousness The universe will reveal the rest…

@Hojo Very good explanation. Very blessed 🙏

@MarkKol Women will pretty much always go for guys older than them and the gap is widening. 40 years ago the average age difference might have been around 3-5 years now it’s around a 10 year gap. I don’t actually have any advice for getting round that even if you are more mature for your age. If a situation arises and you connect with an older women no harm in buying her a drink and seeing how things unfold but I wouldn’t count on it if you’re 20 and she’s like 30 odd men age like fine wine. Just focus on developing yourself and when you get older you’ll find it easier to attract the women you want. I’ve noticed I have more success now than in my 20s

@Bobby_2021 with maturity, experience and spiritual development I have grown to value my suffering more. I see it as the universe is trying to tell me something or push me to make a change when life gets too convenient

Reflecting on it recently, funny how much of the harm we inadvertently do to ourselves is in the name of making our lives convenient. Capitalism has sold us this. For instance, I saw a study recently that said the residue from the chemicals in dish washer tablets ends up staying on our plates. People use dishwashers all the time because of convenience. Or for instance how ready meals are quick and easy to prepare but do us a lot of harm through the micro plastics. Water bottles also Could even consider less obvious stuff that we don’t think twice about like driving. It’s so convenient but actually we could be doing our body a favour by cycling instead I really do feel that for most of the convenient things we do to make our lives easier there is a trade off. Anyone got any other thoughts on this? Curious to know because our lives can be so automatic and taking time to stop and reflect on our daily habits and the harm they can cause we really need that.

Since I started to eat super healthy around 2 years ago (organic hearty foods) I have noticed the development of allergies. So for instance, I now have a metal allergy that prevents me from playing my guitar. Also my IBS is more sensitive if I eat too much or eat junk food which I very very rarely ever do now (FYI I consider bread junk food) When I do eat unhealthy my god it does hit me. Really not used to it. I just seem to have become way more sensitive with allergies, intolerances and bad food Has anyone else experienced this?

@Princess Arabia okay thanks yeh I don’t eat any of the low quality foods you mentioned. In the UK so our foods standards are better than the US - we are going that way though as a country! Tbh I think I need to slow down when I’m eating and also just be more mindful when eating out.

Typically I have yoghurt and fruit in the morning, scrambled egg for lunch then could be anything from lasagne to beef stew i did used to eat one meal a day but would have a very large portion and this I don’t believe was any good. I’m quite a quick eater as well so need to slow down im going to try fasting for a day or two. It’s the inflammation I need to bring down. Also been looking at nutritionists to get a bespoke understanding. my body is really not cut out for junk food

@FlyingLotus thanks for putting this together

@Princess Arabia it’s still better than some of the WhatsApp groups I’m in with friends. Honestly the bs they chit chat. WhatsApp is a curse I can chat the shit sometimes but I can’t do that as much as they do

@Miguel1 the key is to not hold back your intent. That’s where the friction is like when you try to be cool by trying to be detached which makes you blunder. You have to just lean into the intent and honest in your manner with how you’re feeling towards a woman

I have been thinking about trying day game. I don’t like clubbing can’t get in the mood Cafes to me seem the best bet. It’s just having that opportunity to arise naturally like when the waitress brings you food/coffee and there’s a spark Yeh London will be amazing for girls

@HMD I do also know what you mean. I find I have times when I have a deep knowing into the nature of reality and then other times I have to proactively remind myself of the insights One insight is that the majority of my life is out of my control and that I have to let the universe decide. Let myself off the hook. To know this is the only way to truly let go In this respect don’t try and force insights and profound connection as that’ll just hamper it. Your best bet is find more time to be mindful and enjoy those times. So you are not seeking you are just enjoying being in the moment for me, it’s connecting with the nature that I really enjoy and helps me to be mindful. I am not looking for answers I am just connecting and then if the universe wants to show you something it will psychedelics will also help connect you to the spirit but even with that you cannot force the insights

@Hojo Blessings man 🙏🙏

I’m curious to know how others on here respond to unconscious habits around family members especially for those that have experienced a challenging childhood I speak with my mum often but I find I get easily wound up when she doesn’t listen to me or just simply does not understand. I especially get wound up when her actions are influenced by her partner who she has been with for about 26 years. When I was growing up he was a negative influence on my life. He is a very low conscious person let’s just say I have actually managed to let go of a hell of a lot but still there is that dysfunction. I don’t want to get so annoyed with my mum because I love her but the history remains which is triggering.

@KoryKat I would say Eckhart is the most spiritually attuned guru type person. Leo has said that the god realisation he talks about is not understood by most gurus as they are not awakened enough. With Eckhart I would say that is not the case. He also talks about god realisation and doesn’t advocate shutting yourself away from the material world either like some gurus do He is not as direct as Leo but everything I have heard from Leo, Eckhart has also touched on in his own way Edit - he’s not the typical guru but I do like Ken Wilber

@Hojo sorry to hear that man. It’s tough when the cards feel so stacked against you in early life. We can be grateful that it is part of the awakening process I never felt grounded growing up. Parents split when I was very young and met new partners. My mum’s partner is a dick. I think that’s the biggest trigger is knowing she is influenced by him far too much. My mum is highly creative and intuitive and she could have done so much more with her life. He has robbed her of confidence and independence. It is what it is now but still it pisses me off and I struggle to let go completely

@SQAAD interesting point. Like you it was after discovering Leo’s material that spirituality really opened up to me. I can only think of this from the perspective that you are the universe and that you are witnessing this mindless suffering around you creating a desire to do something about it. Suffering is universal and it is the fundamental driver for us in pursuing awakening to transcend it. To witness the suffering in others moves you to not only transcend in yourself but help society transcend as well. It may seen mindless but perhaps it actually has a purpose in moving you to do something about it? You are the universe after all If we take it from the radical perspective that you are the only conscious thing in the universe because you are the universe it makes sense to me because it moves you to do something about it. If we take the other stand that there are separate consciousness then that doesn’t make sense to me

lol don’t worry man you are definitely not too old You have plenty of time to attract the women. Women typically will go for older guys anyway around 10-15 years older and this is becoming more common - I have noticed this a lot more in the world of dating apps where young women have so much choice. Actually you are at a disadvantage. You are 28 with less experience and maturity and will be less settled than the average 38 year old. Women always prefer more experienced guys My advice focus on your own self development and where you want to be in life edit this is why young men are disproportionately single so it is perfectly normal and young women the reverse. Women make the most of when they’re young and more physically attractive I actually prefer older women in their 30s who are typically more mature
