Has anyone heard of the Finders Course? They claim to be able to get people to an 'enlightened' state within a few weeks or months.

Doable. Not optimal for peak creative output. Vast majority of people need more focus in the hours that they do have, not more hours in the day. But, if you feel you do need the extra time, it works.

turned to goo, your brain has.

A significant portion of it was made before he ever started actualized.org, with some sort of online marketing business. I'm also sure that most of his money from actualized.org came from private coaching and such. And of course his subscriber count and courses do contribute something.

he's already past that point mate.

98% of his content is free anyways! on his youtube channel! what are we even talking about? literally his only paid content is the life purpose course.

You mean, what this forum provides? Thought you wanted to leave to save from being manipulated. This is precisely why many of us are appreciative of the way Leo communicates his content. He is coming from a viewpoint and perspective not too unlike our own in place of from some super enlightened guru who we can't relate to very much at all.

Leo is not the buddha Sounds like you may be the one rubricizing him. Most of us recognize and use this forum and community for what it is and nothing more. As stated above there are plenty of people who haven't seen a single video of his.

If Leo doesn't want to work at McD's while also trying to promote his channel and website and do his consciousness work, then yes some form of business is required. If you believe he's "manipulating" you then leave. baibai~

In general, limbs falling asleep for a bit and then waking them back up with the familiar pins and needles type feeling is fine and not dangerous. People pass out drunk in weird positions all the time. Meditating for a few hours is not an issue. However - use your discretion and if you think it is actually causing damage, you should stop. If your feet are legit turning different colors, that's probably a sign .

whatever that means

chatting with your parents is suddenly a weird activity?

@abrakamowse and I regularly visit www.zenstudies.org/newyorkzendo.html. There are "enlightenment dojos" in various forms around. The center I linked above also has a retreat upstate where you can become a resident for months at a time. Then you also have places like http://antaiji.org/en which are multi-year commitments.

just gonna leave this here As FindingPeace said, this is something literally anyone can directly experience. If you don't understand the math/science, time to do some studying.

I came across this journaling system recently and it's been working great so far: https://medium.com/@amirmasoudabdol/workflowy-journal-d33405065d64

Hey everyone! Thanks to @jenna's idea, we've started an online community for anyone interested in chatting with other self-actualizers in real-time. We can use this to get to know people better, keep each other accountable, and hold more active discussions. Let's use this forum topic for feedback and suggestions, and @Leo Gura if you want to take over the reigns at some point, just let me know. [link removed by moderator]

1. Sure. 2. Either is just fine. Eyes remain slightly open in traditional zazen.

Hey guys! So we've had some good activity the past few days in our community chatroom, so this Sunday we're going to hold our first scheduled discussion topic. If it goes well, we will most likely try to hold something similar every other week or so. This is for forum members to connect and discuss self-actualization with others in a more direct, real-time, and personal manner. Some of us around NYC have even met up and visited zen centers in the city, so this is also a great opportunity to make new friends within the community. As for the discussion topic: Real Growth vs Fake Growth. This is based on Leo's video by the same name, and we'll be sharing examples from our own lives where we have noticed this occurring. Maybe this is something you have already dealt with and overcome, and can share that experience with others so they have a better understanding of how to apply these concepts in their own lives, or maybe it's something you are currently working through and want advice in a safe, supporting environment. We will try and start things up around 7pm GMT, but people will generally be on all day so just hop in whenever. Visit the chatroom thread linked above for info on how to join, or just comment below if you're having trouble (the invite server I have running does sometimes go down periodically so just let me know if that's the case). Thanks and looking forward to hearing from everyone Sunday!

Personally I've actually got a pretty neat setup with workflowy going on. As for more traditional approaches: penzu dayone flava diaro
