Nervewracking

In his latest video and in "Motivational Speech for building a passionate life", Leo stressed the point that nowadays it's relatively easy to create a cushy life where society provides for you. But what's wrong with being dependent on society? In what ways does my disconnection of real survival tarnish me? Help me understand this point a little deeper

Hey, yeah, it's a never-ending journey, but that doesn't mean we can't become more loving, more conscious, more capable human beings. Keep in mind that the journey IS the destination.

@Mondsee Holy cow! Powerful story. Thanks so much for the write-up. Do you contemplate a lot? Also what you said dovetails very precisely with the quote in your signature. I might buy this book...

@ajasatya So by probing and asking ourselves a bunch of questions we can gain true knowing. Is this wisdom which we acquire from contemplation coming from the akashic records aka the unconscious mind? Is that one way to look at it or am I just spinning out stories here? Do you know anything about that?

Exactly.

@Alfonso Nice words brother... but can you elaborate what you mean by non-existential things? @Sukhpaal Good tip! Thanks. @Leo Gura Absolutely. I guess I am still too neurotic and preoccupied with getting answers from external sources. My ego-mind says something along the lines of: "You can only know stuff for certain if you learnt it in the past. Everything else is not certain." @ajatasya I don't know really ... I suppose contemplation is more about asking questions rather than getting answers @John Iverson Interesting. Thanks for the paragraph.

Hello, I want to learn how to live a truly contemplative life. So to me questions like this arose: What if I just don't have sufficient intellectual / concenptual understanding of the matter that I'm contemplating about? Isn't there little point in hourly contemplation if I have a little understanding of the world?! Won't my contemplation practice only make sense if I do it alongside my practical experiences? Please feel free to share any thoughts regarding contemplation and how you do it, I need clarification.

a) Do you sleep on the bed or on the floor? b) Have you tried sleeping outside?

Hi Leo, what are your thoughts on / experiences with: 1) The Akashic Records 2) Meditating on 432hz music 3) Past lives
