  1. I think we have all had this challenge Note that people cannot act beyond their level of consciousness. That is, they are not conscious enough to act other than they currently do. Also note that everyone is at different stages of consciousness. So you may have certain values and act a particular way due to the level of consciousness that YOU have. So your mom who just can't understand why you are 'wasting time' meditating and doing yoga is like this based on her level of conscoiusness. Just be aware that we are at different stages...this should be of help
  2. Recently I was asked by a University to be apart of a panel discussion on 'The Role of Formal Education'. They wanted to hear what actual high school students had to say on the matter. Teachers, Lecturers, Principals and Government officials will be in attendance so this will be an opportunity to raise the point that self actualization should be a major priority in schools. There are many aspects of self actualization to be taught but I think meditation should be the first thing to implement seeing that its the number one self actualization tool out there. I'm thinking we should start with 10mins of mindful breathing each morning. Its very simple but can be very effective in enhancing concentration, increasing intuition, developing peacefulness and much more. Tell me what you think
  3. Hey everyone...I'm 19 years old and I've given up my religion and my pursuit of money, to become enlightened. I'm comitted to this path but I have a challenge. Having enough money to eat healthy. If we are gonna be doing enlightenment work, its a good idea to be eating the healthiest foods on the planet because its good for the body and mind. However, I don't want to be working a 9-5 job (this time is needed for my practice and learning) and I'm not as experienced at the moment to start helping other people and feed myself doing that. So what should I do? The best thing I've come up with thus far is to become a yoga and meditation instructor at a Hotel. Ps. I'm not going to university...fuck that shit
  4. I get back to presence whenever I meditate or on the toilet or in nature. What clouds my presence? Watching youtube videos clouds my presence the most.
  5. This is truly amazing. Thats all I can say.
  6. @Empty I agree. The ego loves to stand out and to be unique. The ego uses its self identity as a means of standing out. A country, that people identify with - whether it be through its unique national flag, song, culture- is a collective ego.
  7. Here is another. Leo's reaction to absolute infinity ( God ) 9:02 - 12:00
  8. We all know that in many of his videos, Leo has moments where he is either very 'savage' or compassionate with us- sometimes making us tear up. In both cases, he is mindfucking us into doing the self actualization work and staying on the path. Post your favorite mindfuck moments here; include the video and the time slot where the mindfuck takes place. This easy access to a compilation of mindfuck moments (pun intended) is good to have when we need a kick in the ass to stay on the journey. Here is my favorite. Enjoy! 48:15 - 59:50
  9. I'm 19 years old and I want to become a sage. I've never had sex before and I get the idea that celibacy is a good thing to observe as a Sage because it keeps us focussed on the path. Here is my specific situation: 1) I have a small porn addiction so having sex might enhance my sexual desires. 2) I actually want to have sex but at the same time I dont want to enhance any addiction. 3) I have been meditating consistently for 8 months now and I am considering to not have sex for the next two years because by then, I would have built a better foundation in meditation, hence, I would not become addicted from having sex. What do you think?
  10. Hey...I have a good amount of public speaking experience for my age, I'm 19 and I have spoken before principals, teachers, ministers and occasionally an audience of 1,500 students of my school. I have only two tips for you. 1) Have something that you really want to share with people. You must be interested in sharing the content with the audience. Your zeal to share will get you on the stage and it will make people want to listen. 2) Stop giving a fuck what people think about you. Let me repeat, stop giving two fucks about what people think. Be okay with the possibility of them laughing at you. Be okay with the possibility of sounding nervous. Be okay with the possibility of saying the wrong thing and they become confused. When you have done this, all nervousness dissipates. I hope this was of help. All the best with your speaking. Ps. Leo did a video titled "How to stop caring what people think of You". Check it out.
  11. When you begin to meditate...you will rejoice when you have noting to do. For meditators, being stuck in traffic or being at home with nothing to do gives us the opportunity of feeling that inner joy that is within us. So start a meditation practice asap. See Leo's video on the do nothing technique.
  12. Hello...I would like Reiki to become more focussed and to reduce anger. Keep up the good work. Thank you
