@Endew I would take out a student loan and go back to school, at least part-time, and work somewhere part-time. This would give you a goal to work towards, an opportunity to create results in your life, to be more independent and self-sufficient. Also, look for positive people to surround yourself with who will support, encourage, and cheer you up in your journey. And learn about personal boundaries and how to assert yourself and say no, even to your parents. They don't own you.

Soy beans are not recommended. They turn on genes linked to cancer growth.

@stephan Better to find someone you feel comfortable with.

@Christian Leave this disfunctional toxic relationship. Sounds like your 'friend' has mental/ emotional problems and is using you as 'punching bag' of his neuroses. All you are to him is a source of his narcissistic supply. Real friends don't do things that he does to you. The only way to make an emotional vampire stop sucking blood-life out of you is to cut off the supply. Which means you got to leave and have no contact with him, if you want to save your sanity.

@zasa joey Check out Ayla's thread in self-Actualized Journals forum called 'Mind Attacks After Initial Seeing'. She describes how the ego tries to make you doubt and undermine the process, and the steps to get yourself back on track. -

@zasa joey Self realization would actually make your life more liberated and meaningful. You'd be able to separate the lie of your conditioned mind from the truth of reality. You'll appreciate and value life more, from the simple position of just being, existing. It will also help you rid yourself from different neuroses, like fear (of emptiness being the biggest one of all), guilt, neediness, etc. It's a process that will take some effort on your part, ego will resist changes. But more you press on, further you'll advance, and more beautiful and joyful life will become. There will be no death to be afraid of. And you'll get that enduring peace that transcends all understanding -

@zasa joey My take in a nutshell is that perciever IS perception, like it's all one substance manifesting itself. And the first part of your question - when we're in a deep sleep and our brain is 'turned off', that doesn't mean there's no awareness. And remember, it's the EMPTY awareness Leo's talking about, where no thought, feeling or any other possible mind activity cab be present. -
@Holdup An interesting study on attractiveness levels in a couple https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/05/03/the-real-reason-some-people-end-up-with-partners-who-are-way-more-attractive/

@DizIzMikey Chlorella is awesome for heavy metal detox. I take 1 table spoon of chlorella powder in my morning green smoothies daily. 2-3 drops of Oil of Oregano in a 8-10 oz drink daily for a few days will get rid of parasites. Also, probiotics are supposed to help eliminate parasites.

It's not shallow to keep your standards high. Build yourself up first, then you can attract same kind. Gyms, yoga classes, health-food stores, fresh farmers markets are all good places to meet someone who takes care of her body and mind. Once you meet a girl you like, you can introduce her to self-actualization, meditation practices, let her listen to Leo's vids, etc. If she responses positively, that's a very good sign. Using online dating to find this gem of a girl is a waste of time, unless it's a Conscious Singles type of site. Don't settle.

That's impressive! Thank you for having typed it up.

This is a very good discussion, thanks for sharing.

I agree, hours of meditation are not necessary to see the truth/ reality as it is. It's a sudden realization, a shift in perspective. It's when the subjective is no more. Pointing out to this ego-less paradigm is what I find invaluable in Leo's teaching. And before him in Tolle's teachings. So you could say it's a process, a path. And it stops when you become/ embody what you've been seeking.

@SmartFixer_OceanJjb ((Hugs)) This week's Leo's video is really dense, I have to watch it again to get everything he's trying to deliver. 'Deficiency' paradigm vs 'Being' paradigm. Problems arise when we adopt deficiency mindset. Do a self-inquiry and ask yourself what do I need to be happy and whole? If you're completely honest with yourself, the answer would be - nothing. Just being is all we need and all we are, period. Everything is just being, is it not? Look around, everything.. even our thoughts. As Leo said, we are no different from everything around us, made up of the same substance. It's just is and it's all one free flowing energy, no separation. Everything and nothing. It's so simple and right in front of our nose, we tend to miss it. This is truth, this is enlightenment.

"Why is there so much mystery around the truth? When someone is sleeping and you ask them, 'Are you sleeping?', and they say 'yes', that means 'no'. So certain questions when they're not answered, is the right answer" Loved the talk and the humor Thanks for sharing! -

@Galyna Your name is very common in Russia/ Ukraine. Are your roots from that part of the world?
