@Meta-Man That makes total sense, thanks! Yes I'm doing meditation daily, practicing sedona method, last year was doing shadow work and connecting more with my emotions, this year I'm connecting more with my body, been on african dance classes and now I'm working out at home harder than ever. Everyday I'm more aware of my body and all its sensations, that plus the emotional work I'm doing, I'm sensing my electromagnetic field and can check its inbalances and with sedona method and concentration I'm being able to align my energy. It's really weird tho, its a level of awareness I've never had and I feel like experiencing reality in a whole new way. And even though I probably understand conceptually what's up with this fear, I feel it rooted in my body and having a hard time letting it go while on the interaction.

Oh man, this is a tough situation. Just by living with it and learning from it you'll be able to grow a lot by this experience. To make him change would be of extreme effort for you, at his age is really very hard to change and only if he chooses to do it and gives massive effort he would change. It'll probably take years to raise his awareness and change his habits. What I would recommend is that you learn from him, imagine he is a past you, imagine you are an evolved him. See him as a mirror, try to see in yourself what you dislike about him. "How am I the same way?" Of course you feel attacked and suffer from it every day maybe, but try to find the lesson in all of this suffering. Learn from his bad example and also learn from his good example. Choose what you don't want to repeat and what you want to keep. Check spyral dynamics stage red and orange, you'll have to understand why he is how he is, then you'll find he knows no better way. Once you've done this maybe you'll be able to detach a little from his behaviour and not take it so personally, then you'll be able to build compassion and acceptance toward him. I feel you because I'm having similar issues with my family right now, and its really very though, our closest relationships tend to unleash our most primitive behaviour, my mom brings all my authority issues to surface. Find yourself and be yourself, yes maybe you'll have to act a little when you are with them, but when you understand yourself as more evolved than him, even though they think they have the power, you'll know you're more consciouss and you'll be able to be compassionate with them. And remember its not your responsability to "save them", whatever you try, in the end their growth will be always one's responsability. You can do this! take this as a learning oportunity while you finish school and plan your independence. Much Love ♡

Watch it twice as faster.

Teacher teaches what they've been thaught Teacher teaches how they've been thaught This just perpetuates the paradigm but as the world evolves and needs change, the paradigm becomes obsolete Then a new what and how has to emerge Right now we're teaching from a red and orange perspective from that perspective it makes sense that its that way and yes its pure ego-centric chimpery, but its not bad, its natural we can evolve through it

One starts as just Alex

@Meta-Man I'm 25, I feel their presence and their eyes very intimidating. I also remember having a lot of fear of cops.

Now there's probably a chinese kid playing Dragon Force's played Through the Fire and Flames while gettkng a brain surgery, even getting the nurse suck his d***. Jokes aside, that's awesome. Would be nice to play Pink Floyd's Brain Damage followed by Eclipse.

I sense a contradiction here. You're starting to want money but maybe a belief of yours is that you don't need it. Pick one.

Thank you guys! I'll be checking them out

What are the skills you'll master? Those will define what you offer to the people you want to help

Drugs are great for going out of your box and getting new neuronal paths for creativity. Just be careful not to make your creativity substance-dependant. I've been there, and its not cool to get really frustrated when you can't have ideas beign sober. Having that in mind, go wild

Go do some research on what the top artists are doing and what are the cutting edges of style and aesthetic. Skill is one thing to develop and the other is style, which can only be found by exploration. When you explore you begin to take new ideas and approaches to art. Consciousness might be your general idea, but pick a few others and combine them and see what happens. For example, here some topics: - The shadow side of consciousness - The need of suffering and death for transformation of one's consciousness - The paradox of consciousness See what Im doing? I'm not just taking "consciousness and its symbols" as a topic (which I feel is the topic you're picking: the eye, the dalai lama, the light, the tree) but I'm taking contrasting ideas to add on top of "consciousness". You really need to go out of your own box, try new processes, colors, strokes, tools, composition styles, narratives, meanings, symbols, etc. Maybe you know the WHY of your art but need to play more with the HOW of your art. If you follow the same process you'll get the same result. Do experimentation with your process and you'll never EVER run out of ideas to work on.

@innerchild @StarStruck Oh guys I feel you totally, I also find myself addicted to new information, I love learning so I unconsciously masturbate my mind in youtube, books and courses. Seems to me like a false sense of accomplishment, an escapism to actual practice. Everytime your brain gets novelty it has a spike of dopamine, that's how social networks get you hooked. Scroll-novelty-reward-repeat. Same process applies to us but in another context. We're addicts and need to accept it, addicted to mental masturbation, we're "self-help junkies" as Leo used to call his tribe. Here my strategy, if you could share yours would be nice too: I'm applying dopamine detox some days to unhook my brain, so getting a full day with my phone off some days a week is helping. No novelty is the name of the game, and when I got my phone I instantly want to search and scroll on new things. Also doing 24-hour fasting which also does detox to my body and and brain, helps a lot to get rid of cravings. Redirect attention is another one, which is about being fully aware and understanding my emotional-physical-mental and behavioral patterns of addiction, and as they go through interrupt them and change my attention to something more. Replace the habit with another one. Awareness + something healthier. Also stop every action and stare into the void. Do nothing but be aware, notice the emptiness you're trying to fill in with your addiction. Get massaged by the sensation of being without doing. Make a sacrifice to free yourself. Acknowledge that you want to stop doing this, remind yourself why are you doing it, do some affirmations and visualize how you and your life would be different. Remember you're learning, be fully present, enjoy the process and be compassionate with yourself, don't punish and guilt yourself for not being what you "should be", control doesn't work in the long term, so better make your changes gradual. much Love to All ?

Sometimes I just write whatever my mind is processing in the moment, feels like vomiting haha, but its not about what you write, is about the process of sitting and doing it that makes your brain better understand it and make connections to then catch insight. I do this on computer. But also, journaling on a notebook is so cool and free, I recommend using different colors so your brain gets more stimulus and makes better connections. You can write whole sentences or just keywords, connect them with lines, arrows, or any figure that makes you understand what you're thinking or feeling. Also drawing on it is so good. By this point my journaling is like mind-mapping, I have so much fun doing it and my mind has developed its own language and way of making connections. It also improves memory and creativity. As a start, you can just begin asking yourself a question and writing-drawing whatever comes to mind. Try not to overthink before writing, you have to let yourself go, because your intuition-subconscious know more about what is going on than "you", so allow yourself to write whatever comes first.

And thus the pot was stirred This is a nofap circle jerk (pun intended) If its making you good you keep doing it, If not then might be good to leave it Be aware of self-deception tho

Thank's for quoting Zappa here, his work has been very important to me. I've been listening and trying to understand him for years. He was way ahead of his time, he understood american culture and critize it like nobody else and he was authentic as fuck. A glimpse of yellow yes, but still I feel he had many prejudices against many things and he stood with his perspective for years. But its ok for him, he was super into his creative work, I don't think he minded much about expanding his perspective. Also I have the weird feeling that he's still alive.

As I understand it, Beauty is the result of something made of Love. If you see it as a fabric, Love is the thread and Beauty is the fabric. You are made of Love that's why you are Beautiful. When you realize it you feel Love, you remember who You are. Sounds like a word game haha but its a experience. I know right! I also distrusted the title, but the content is what matters. Looks like this guy knows who to sell, you always need some bait to catch fish.

WOW I made that last comment without finishing the interview, that ending was BEAUTIFUL. I didn't expected him to go all into the real source of it, Love and connection. He went all turquoise there, you can feel God taking his eyes and speaking through him. "The fabric of everything is Beauty, and our reaction to seeing the beauty is Love" This quote of really hit me, as I've been understanding beauty and aesthetics the last years, and my conclusion has been that "beautiful is that which reminds you who You are: Perfection, God, Love". Thus while you experience beautiful things like nature and art you feel awe, and as you understand yourself more as God you begin to see beauty in everything.

This guy sounds like he's talking from a green-yellow perspective right? He looks like he know's his shit and he can see the world's perspective shit. Also his calmness and his understanding of humanity as a part of just a bigger and more powerful Earthly system. I trusted him, but still just another perspective

Its crazy! I'ts a instant dopamine factory, full of dancing ego-hookers getting likes and ridiculous memes giving you instant laughs, and you just have to fire like one neuron to get more. I installed and yes I got many fun and laughs, but I noticed my brain getting hooked quickly. Shit's dangerous, if you get on it prepare for an instant addiction, apply a dopamine detox when you need to get out of it. Here's a graphic description of it:

How do you deal with people when you want to focus on yourself, on doing your inner work and your creative work? How do you deal with not leaving everyone behind while trying to self-actualize? You kind of have to go solo to focus on yourself, and people dislike when you leave for too long, or when you just don't really feel like talking. And I find people want to be texting, calling, or hanging out constantly, but I really just want to be left alone to do my thing. I'd like to know, how do you deal with this? How do you balance between being alone and staying connected with people?

What are the activities and experiences that you most enjoy? What fulfills the most every area of your life? creatively, on relationships, on inner work, physically, spiritually, playfully, on your career, on business, anywhere. Just would like to know what makes you most happy --- I personally enjoy a lot playing with ideas, concepts, meanings, exploring new ideas, I LOVE writing and making mind maps about what I'm learning or reflecting on. I love reading, watching educative videos, As a designer I love drawing, product design, graphic design, video-making and I enjoy going through diverse creative processes for what I love is understanding what the Creative Process is in all its forms. I also deeply love playing the bass and composing music, also watching music videos, kinda dancing like a fool. I enjoy the peace that comes with meditation and focusing on feelings, I don't really enjoy excercise but I'm learning to enjoy it. I enjoy cooking and having breakfast all by myself, I enjoy cuddling with my girlfriend, I enjoy walking through the city (but my city is hot as hell 50°C on summer fuck off), I honestly enjoy getting high and talking with my co-creator friends and just bouncing around crazy ideas, I love laughing wildly and being random, Oh man it's good to be alive. --- Also bonus question, do you think enjoyment is one of main points of life?

To me she has a good message, pretty green maybe, good femenine point-of-view advice, has helped me understand some things Yes she kinda looks like an android while she talks, but to me it looks like lack of mastery of speech, thus her constant jump-cuts. Also as a designer I find her videos lacking a lot of quality, kind of annoying aesthetic, unconsistent format, ugly choice of images or footage, poor audio quality, but I guess it works for her and her audience. Not to sound cult-ish but that's one thing I really appreciate about Leo, you can feel the mastery and pursuit of beauty on all he does. Thumbnails on point, video format, audio, lessons, speech, content, marketing techniques and all 10/10 ? We could take this website to a whole new level with some branding and user experience design but for now it really works as it is.

Thanks a lot for your grat advice! @Preety_India @Elton @egoeimai ? I'm definitely working on my allowing myself to be vulnerable and having the important awkward talks that define relationships. I feel I have to define more clearly what kind of relationship I want with each person, so then I can dialogue, make boundaries and agreements so everyone knows its place, me included. The problem I find is when someone wants you closer to them but you don't want them SO close, there we have to find a point we're both comfortable. Also unconditional Love is key, also patience to those who can't love unconditionally. Easier said than done haha Love to all ☼♡

Beautiful! Life is beautiful! You are beautiful! every experience is beautiful! words can't express the beauty and Love all around thanks for sharing the love ♡ every time one gets this insight, we become One dance, sing, breath, jump for its all perfect! much love and blessings to You ♡♡♡
