setting a new intention to be out in nature for at least 2 hours a day or a lot more then I currently am. Im low on funds it would be a lot easier/funner if i had the money to travel to new destinations or pick up on a sport.

Had a similar situation. It took me years to figure out but I think I finally cracked the code and gained the self awareness when I learned I might be refusing to do something...(inner rebel).

I wanted to share something that came through while I was meditating a few years ago that actually has brought me peace about about peace it's self. While I was meditating and going through a lot I had a realization that came through the heart..."I'll never have peace in my life until the last person standing has it." which makes a lot of sense. I see people putting themselves through hell trying to attain a state of "peace" or avoiding certain situations or people that may rock it. Now I am a lot more weary and less likely to get sold on any kind of a illusion on peace. If there is a need to walk on eggshells to keep peace then it is not real peace at all. You can only do so much with your own life to maximize Peace on the planet. If someone is off it throws the rest of us off. eventually there is nothing special you can do to find against that truth, no book, or amount of meditation, class, yoga, food or anything special etc. (P.S doesn't mean you should do any of that stuff) Hopefully as a help to other people.... before you put to much pressure on yourself in your journey to act and think in a certain way especially "attain" some kind of peace or have been for a long time... just look out your window and look down street and realize all your neighbors and multiply that to all over the world that do not have peace in their lives that may also be effecting yours. You start realizing the commitment is also a lot grander then just personal transformation.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like an interesting book.

i learned that people are uncomfortable with themselves so they won't be open and authentic. I think it causes an unconscious trigger along the lines of stress and most people are horrible with working through conflict so they need to find people who will give them consensus and vent their stress. It become's a problem on top of a problem. Temptation is all around. I have had my moments when I was like that in my teens. But I find it sad that its equally a struggle and stress going face to face to someone as hard as it is talking behind their back but I think there are light and dark reason's why we/and other people do it. i hope one day as humans we can find more distinction on this topic. so we do not have to lose people for the sake of growth, grief, because our minds change and personal interest. I think when we're in the heat of the moment we become one sided and our aim goal is to be right and understood. Something you choose to do can totally open a can of worms on your and the other person's inner conflicts. I feel like ive been embarking on never ending journey for the past few years dealing with stuff like this. Even worse when your more willing to work through the conflict and the other person doesn't really care to do so. In a recent situation with someone I have taken the face to face all out approach and it's been a not stop battle for over two years working out all the inner conflicts and grief that arise to get to a meeting of the minds win/win situation. To me this approach actually heals but requires so much faith. Sometime's it just might be better to do nothing at all.

This is just my opinion so do not take it literal. I say follow your gut. You have to be careful with the new age stuff...some of those people have self destructive behavior and avoidant behavior that they paste over there B.S with this stuff. Though what they are saying def has truth to it and possibility. It could come with some pitfalls. So expectation management on your end might be helpful for you. Remember whatever you are doing may sound good in theory overall it may not be for the highest and best. You can not always get what you want at other's expense which most of them do not clarify. Doing your best to be distinct with yourself and honest with where you are at on your journey so you are not skipping steps and authentically building yourself over time. So either having a job or not having a job at this time could be serving you and that's really for you to sit with. You never know where you are going to learn a new spiritual insight to carry with you that might serve a purpose to you later on, on your path. I have gotten many spiritual insights by following my gut and showing up places even at jobs and from many different outlets. I do my best to stay open and not isolate myself from perspective's when reaching for something. I learned to become a pack pocket thinker and good listener... meaning if I see something or connect with information I save it for later in my back pocket just in case. Molding into this stuff could lead to later regrets. Not trying to scare you just hoping to save you from later grief. Hope this some what helps.

I do not like to always see fear as a completely bad thing it can saving you from something or giving you direction... I believe in always being in touch with your emotions and trying to connect and flow with it and understand it then trying to overthrow them. Trying to exalt everything that is happening to you to its highest and good.

Thanks Jakeumz... I have to say after what you have mentioned i do not oppose of drinking and smoking or anyone having a good its it's level of dependence that my friends have of these things that they seem to not wanting to be doing anything thing else and their aggressive over it . It started feeling disconnecting being around my friends because they are just looking to get numb and be distracted all the time when i am taking a different path. If my friends have a bad reaction to me i choose to be honest with them and i def have gotten the fire of hatred and aggression more times over but I choose to be honest then keep my distance to leave them with something to process in their own life's. I had to stop talking to most of them while i digest my own work, I was getting distracted and avoiding things myself time to time. But I learned to not play games with other people's Inner conflicts as much as it sucks it kind of has been enlightening.

Hello my name is Gianna, Glad to have come across the forum. I came across Leo's videos maybe a month ago. I usually do not like to post in forums on the internet but I feel compelled to write a little about myself and something I am looking to work on. I like hearing others perspectives. I have been into personal transformation my whole life but I didn't really realize. But I've actually went intense in personal transformation for the last 5-6 years unraveling a lot of things. Something like this is def a long term process. From my perspective agility is key in personal transformation and you can unravel things for years and still have more to work on and unravel. Many beginnings and ends along the way. Synchronicities are something I am starting to process in life but it takes your perspective in life to a whole other angle that's kinda weird. Something I need to work on is getting better at interacting with others and maybe joining. The more I do the personal transformation work I find myself less likely wanting to interact with others or the hard part is the way I used to interact with others is changing and I'm going through some integration, growth and transitions at this time. It def can get scary. Authenticity is the theme I enjoy. Okay that's all I'll write for now. THanks Leo, I enjoy your videos and passion.
