I followed him for awhile, might should take a look at his newer content. I recall watching him and not liking how he tried to describe key concepts like "the ego" and "the shadow".. I read The Law of One and understand the jist of it. Naturally I have my disbeliefs associated with it. I try to be open minded but reading that had me thinking "Ra is unnecessarily verbose isn't he?" Lol. ?

https://youtu.be/YgvrUi8BIWw I'm not particularly fond of all Teal's videos, but seldom do I come across thought provoking content. I'll leave this here. ☄️

@TheSilentObserver A passing dream, yes. Langston Hughes was right on that. -

When I was a child I got ahold of peyote my mom had for religious reasons and saw myself as "God," but I hovered over my body and felt pulled back into a dark massive collective consciousness that wasn't just myself but it was.. where all information of earth was known and relayed back to me.. going back into "reality" hit when I was caught and I forgot everything I learned when I was back in this human flesh sack. -
Workout bench on Amazon for around 100 or a pull-up bar helps with posture, be mindful when sitting in a chair how you're positioned as well as when you're asleep try not to curl into fetal or lay on your side. Your spine might have curvatures that cause pain but if you do physical workouts like in physical therapy, it'll help immensely.

I think this should be revisited in a video to elaborate upon any new or improved realizations.

@Preety_India I agree, Tinder isn't really a great app and I believe it's full of catfish and prostitution at this point. Nobody ik who's single uses it at all but hits on girls/guys using Instagram, Omegle, VR chat, Reddit or Discord. Okcupid, meetme, those also are fairly full of fake people now. I'm seeing a new trend though, which is embarrassing to see!! Grown 30+ men hitting on girls using TikTok.. it's not even a dating app and they put videos of "looking for my soulmate." Sad. Dating norms now are complex and people want to cheat on one another due to feeling either bored or confined in a monogamous relationship when they realize there are a multitude of people out there ready to meet. Seeing lots of 2 girls and 1 guy couples popping up within with my mutuals. ?

Jerry was living vicariously. It's weird but I felt that post in terms of mindlessly binging YouTube videos. The attempt to tame ones ego is insane, but necessary considering how much it rules over our daily lives. I like to invision that it is it's own entity I can unplug to fixate on things that are vital to my journey. Doing a ton of shadow work and oh man.. Good luck to you man. ?✨

@PigeonPark if they are interested they let it be known and bombard you with messages. If they are not interested and she goes over a week without messaging don't think about her and move on.

I think you can be considered "less attractive" by strangers and women will still like you if you don't treat them with respect and are arrogant. It's manipulative, but I see many seemingly less attractive men with dad bods pulling hot women. They treat them nice at first then progressively start to be more arrogant, full of themselves, and emotionally detached. Women do like abs though but they also assume it means the guy is full of themselves or a narcissist. ?

You are not alone I do this at times as a fully grown man. It's scary as hell when you realize all this will go away and the pain of death is something I have feared the most. I'm terrified to die when I have a sudden dream death situation arise right as I'm waking up. The pain I feel is all too real and so is the experience. I try not to think about it but oh man.. Those minutes before I'm fully awake I tend to scream and kick for my life. It's not something you should focus on too much after it happens and you're back to normal or you'll go into a spiral of trauma. Getting out of Rem sleep messes with people differently. Yes! It's scary and you're allowed to react as such. Death is scary but we can all hope for a better life after instead of thinking we will just fade into existence. Our consciousness is too complex to end and go back to the darkness we had at the beginning. Our physical bodies that harbor pain will no longer be of use to us. -
I'd assume he has the financial stability and medical knowledge from reading to know he has to treat his body right. We aren't his parental figures or in a good enough standing with him to coax his mind into altering his current perceptions. Hope he's taking care of himself and resting well as opposed to staring at the fourm. [Gentle reminder to go eat properly and GO PEE to anyone who decided to read this!]

Lately I've noticed how my past is not as important and I'm starting to only live in the now. Before my wife, I would reminisce very often, thinking of past people I knew and how I "loved" them. My soul has never felt so connected to anyone. When we first met she told me I scared her because everything I told her came across as if "God" had made me for spying on her every move since childhood. I didn't say it but a lot of what she said to me sounded like she had been watching me in my house for years before we met. Past relationships hindered me from being completely myself and those people often tried to project their issues at me and pick at my massive shadow daily. It was exhausting trying to fit perfectly into a box that was never going to be me. There was never any moment of peace. I've discovered the true peace that comes with living each and every day with a person who accepts all the darkest corners and even smiles at them? She told me "I love all that's happened in your life, because without that you wouldn't be the you I know and love." She oftentimes will also say without me nobody would of ever gotten to see the rawest form of her soul. Never in my entire life had I known this feeling. At first my ego said "You're not worthy of this seemingly perfect individual", or "She's far more educated, physically attractive, and can get better." Now she's boosted my self esteem to the point I see myself on par with her in many aspects. I hope others know that if you ever feel you have to compromise a huge part of yourself to "not be alone" avoid doing that. Lonlieness is only in your mind and you can rid yourself from it by yourself or find someone who understands you and wants you to pursue what's best for you! Not them!

It's interesting, but when working with people who have developmental and cognitive delays, I've noticed the compassion and love (the common term of love people try to aspire towards) is so much more than us average humans can ever begin to obtain. -
If you hadn't of written that I'd still be lost on the concept of this "love" he was trying to refer to. Very helpful response in understanding what Leo was trying to convey. Love it.

I think this wasn't racial profiling but an interpersonal issue that these two people who previously knew and worked together had. It was murder but I think it's ridiculous to blame all the police for the actions of a few. It doesn't justify it, but I'm not about to get upset for the man who committed atrocities that I personally could not easily forgive if it was done to my wife and unborn child. Human Trafficking to me is a much larger issue than fighting to absolve people of responsibility or a label. Much better things to do than be upset and waste that time on an issue that's pushing us to lose more freedoms (such as freedom of speech.) As sad as this is to say, the fact that fentanyl was in his body, means to me that his fate was quite possibly nearing an end. My brother lost his life to it when he overdosed on it. Not only that, but those that I've encountered in life who were doing fentanyl illegally, were also distributing it out to the locals. If that was the case he might of had a hand in many innocents actually dying.

I've read a lot on the subject, and I will stick to my statement of (modern) in how people are using it now.

It does change a lot as do our personalities over time. It impedes our individual growth to assume we are always correct in a specific way of thinking. Which many who are consumed with it DO tend to think their opinions are the only ones of significance. I believe that MBTI is a huge waste of time and energy and there is little to no validity in data of it actually helping. Unless they want to be in contact with other overthinkers, then by all means go down the endless rabbit hole that consumes a great deal of time from your day-to-day life. The 16 personality types are a way for many click bait addicted people to fixate on how they can be arrogant/patronizing towards other people due to the functional stack they take to heart. Using terms that the typical person isn't accustomed to in order to gain some type of superiority over another is appealing to them. That's why the "rare types" INFJ or even INTJ isn't actually as rare as people claim they are, because everyone wants to be deemed unique. Many will claim they resonate to a specific type cherrypicking stacks to make themselves appear better. Then you have those that are into it for the "who am I most compatible with." It's definately a huge scam like modern astrology that many use to rip off easily persuaded minds. Lots of self proclaimed 'High IQ's' are into this recent fad, and they love watching Youtube videos all day about it or go on Quora, Reddit, Discord to relate to "similar" people, as cohesion is greatly sought after to rid oneself of loneliness.

Might place some more in stocks for several years, perhaps try putting more into CD's. I've started growing microgreens, fruit, vegetables, all kinds of trees on 9 acres of land with a tiny house. It only took 10k to build and I'm thoroughly pleased with how it's completely off grid.

Covid 19 is fishy to me. I'm Armand's wife and I'm a microbiologist. We've tested this shit in our labs and it's been around since way before it was ever reported. Everything we learn about this virus is mostly how it's approximately like the common cold. People with severly weakened immune systems are likely to die from any type illness that they get. We all think this whole pandemic will stretch out for another year. Unfortunately. -
I wouldn't limit myself to just "spiritual singles," as you can find spiritual people lurking on any dating app. Why do you think it's so important to find someone that's within the exact same space as you are mentally!? You can grow a lot by experiencing all different types of people and gain more confidence/knowledge by dating around a bit. Online dating is great for introverted people. I see nothing wrong with it. I've even urged my friends to seek out their now partners by going online. Being able to type out what your ideals are to another person, helps in gaining insight to the other person's mind. Finding out their likes and dislikes ahead of time can help a lot with compatibility levels, and intimacy. My online dates have far exceeded those that are set up by any mutual friends irl. It's situational, but the girls in my area that are single are not exactly mentally sound, or I quickly find out they have had relations with someone I'm close with in the past. Not to mention, I find the bars around here to be quite irritating and kind of like walking into a sausage fest. Raves are alright. Conventions are usually decent places to strike up a conversation with new people. Physical looks these days are not as important as you'd think to attractive women. The ladies I hang out with talk about "e-boys," (Attractive boys/men online) in a negative way. In college I always noticed that the funny chubby confident guys had the hottest chicks around them at all times. They eventually married those insanely hot girls. I'm not sure why, but all the hot/intelligent women around here settle for less early on and never leave their partners once they commit to them. Pffft. Be aware that there are a plethora of catfish now pretending to be attractive girls online, but then there are REAL women that can video call to prove their actually real. I wouldn't trust just an image online.

I'm sure Leo's made videos on how to help let go of Ego, as well as to how to actually please a woman if thats your reasoning for needing a bigger/longer phallus. The harm you can cause pulling at it like that will render it utterly useless.. Unless you're into that kind of masochistic torture?? If you're that desperate for a larger slab of meat, perhaps consult a Dr that can perhaps elongate it by cutting away some of the tissues.. or see a therapist for assisting with the self esteem issues. Confidence alone can make someone quiver or feel weak in their knees. Having long conversations as well. Using your fingers, tongue, or toys can help prep. Many are under the impression that penetration alone will magically make a girl orgasm. Pffft, what nonsense.

I concur with Shiva. It's difficult for me to walk up and down a single ⛰, let alone ? for 20 miles every single day. Phew!

Intermittant fasting helps greatly in achieving quick results. Allowing for only a 8-9 hour window for consumption, but during those hours eat what you would typically want to eat in the day. The video below is helpful! Normally I wouldn't suggest this, but B12 shots might also help to improve your energy levels, overall fatigue...thereby assisting in productivity throughout the day.

@Sparkist I'm simply astounded at the level of talent you possess. I must say, those are remarkable transformations. Spooky, yet brilliant artistry.
