It only means you have to less experience with them. I went through the whole course over a year ago and also did my coaching certificate after that (there was also a lot of inner work done). And I remember feeling the same as I went through the course. My two best friends would probably tell you the same. They also went through the course at that time. Your values are the essence of what is important to you. If there comes something up that you feel is right, but are not really able to pin down what it means to you, that does not have to mean, it is not true. It only means, you have to little experience and clarity with it yet. If you are talking about deceiving yourself, that sounds to me as if you maybe have a conflict about other values which leo said are "bad" the one with the *. If that is the case don't worry either. The thing you have to understand about the values is, that they will evolve all the time. So if you are now in a position where you feel you can't really nail them and there is something missing in your definition, that is perfectly fine. It will come with time and practice. Think about it, write down what comes the most closest and let it stand for 1 week. Than sit down, and think about it a week later, a month later, a year later. You will become closer and closer until you hit the point where you read them and you know exactly what they mean and this meaning will make you almost cry, because you honor it so much! You are on a good path. For your situation, one last advice. What can help at the beginning is to get a broad understanding of what the value means to you and than try to connect it with specific examples in your life. I for example als had also the value of beauty and what I noticed is that I feel the whole system of actualized.org is one manifestation of beauty (for me). So through connecting your values and there meaning with tangible examples, it can help to get closer to what it means, because than you have something you adore and from that you can get new insights about what the value means to you. Because their is a specific reason why you like the example and why it resonates with you. Become clear on why that is. For me it cam up that I consider actualized.org beauty, cause it is done with so much excellence. This insight created later on my complete value of Beauty / Excellence. Let me know if that helps!

Hey guys, I came up with this question this morning, after waking up from a dream. And I thought about the way conscious business, so it happens, is going to develop in the future. More about what will it look like. What will it's ramifications be and how does it differ to what business looks at the moment. I am talking about a scenario of society and business climbing up the spiral dynamics latter. So this scenario could happen is something like 100 or more years, but it could also start next couple of years, through people who grow and support this kind of business. One idea I came up, was that business would produce massive value all the time. That it would be more about expressing authentic and higher consciousness values, which would be reflected in stuff like excellent content and also caring the way Leo does it in a sense. What do you guys think?

You have a lot of cool ideas in mind! And it makes sense when you listen to it, but also sounds as if you experience would bring you forward! Do the small bets, he mentions. What you came up with sounds like a great foundation, but it will become even more specialized, when you engage in those small bets. They will be ver helpful I guess.

Love that answer! Absolutely, those perspectives help a lot. I feel I want to learn more & be more aware and mindful throughout my day and activities Thanks @Hellspeed and @Arman

Hey guys, I have got a question. Disclaims: 1. I am not interested in hearing meditation, spirituality and enlightenment is all there is, even though this might be the case. 2. I am interested in hearing what people think, who are connecting the dots of meditation with a lot of other areas in life! So currently, the question of how much I should meditate came up for me. I am at the moment in the building process of a business. It is super fun and feels like fulfilling my life purpose. I am also living together with my girlfriend for the first time, in a new beautiful environment at the beach. So things are generally going very well. For the record and to give you guys more background: I have some past meditation streaks which were about half a year long (meditating every day for 20 to 60 minutes, it increased through the year. I also did one Vipassana retreat. What I noticed back than was, that I was meditating more because of the dogma I created out of Leo's content. Which was the right thing at that time, because it helped me to start. For the past have year, I was kind of resolving the dogma, and taped into my own motivation and passion fro meditation. At least to some degree. What happened, by resolving the dogma was that I wasn't as clean on my streak anymore. So I wasn't meditating every day anymore and also went more intuitive with it. For example, I did a lot of sessions, without timer, which sometimes went over 1h and sometimes just 20 minutes. it was depending on my feeling and intuition. I enjoy being that open and intuitive with my meditation practice a lot. But recently as I am getting more involved with my business and stuff, I noticed that my meditation got a little bit neglected. The sessions are running shorter and I sometimes have a few days without it. Meditation is important and Leo is emphasizing a lot on that point, that is why I was interested in listening to some of your opinions on that topic. He especially said in a recent video, that most people don't even have a chance of succeeding in this work, because they are not even able to dedicate 1h of meditation per day to it. So I wanted to ask you, what do you think on the amount of meditation one should invest into this work. In the future, from December on starting I want to meditate longer again. How much progress in possible in this work, without meditation or not so long sessions. I feel that I am growing exponentially at the moment, but I want to keep that process going. Also I would love to hear, some connections that you guys exist between meditation and other areas. For example: business, Life Purpose, Creativity etc. I feel like the balance of the mind that is trained through meditation is benefiting all the other areas and it has also some other interesting benefits and influences on them. But what I mean is, how meditation can influence the way you think about them, which influences how you do them. Not even sure wether this makes any sense for you guys. In the end I know it is all connected and has different influences on each other and meditation is definitely a crucial one for acing it all. Wish you the best!

Thanks Guys!

Hey guys, I know this is a topic a lot of people will answer with a lack of connection of those famous people and I consider this an on point fact, but I am interested in debating this topic also from other points of view. It's also more about what those suicides means for our society in general. Let me begin, with claiming that I know that those famous people get special attention. I know there are many ordinary (not famous) people who engage in suicide but I am not aware about those numbers. So let me start. I recently noticed that a lot of famous people encounter suicide and since I liked a few of them I thought about the topic a little bit. For example, the Linkin Park front man, Avici, a german Soccer Goalkeeper years ago etc. I am sure every individual has their own story and good reasons for why the committed suicide, but in general I got to say that those names make me sad. Often times I hear those people did to much drugs and all of this stuff. First question, maybe meditation is the answer, but I want to ask this. Why are drugs, such a big topic in the music industry? I know they have to work a lot, but in the end they are kind of pursuing their life purpose aren't they? So anyways I know a lot of pressure comes with being a famous musician, but still I am always surprised by how many people do drugs whether it are celebs or ordinary people. Society is kind of structured the way, that being a celeb is the ultimate goal. Whether through social media, sports, music or whatever else makes you famous today. What do you guys think about this kind of belief that society shows celeb status as something very attractive for a lot of people? Second big question. I guess a lot of people know the famous quote from Jim Carrey: “I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.” Famous celebs that earn a lot of money are kind of rushing the system. They can learn from first hand that fame, status and money won't make you happy, why the hell is there no one out there that helps them to get on a path of happiness and fulfillment? I mean those people, they don't have to care about making ends meat, they have time and can afford to learn from the best, so why aren't they committing to a path of growing? I mean after partying and all of this shit they all kind of notice the limitations of that. But it seems to me as if they are unhappy, but try to pursue the stuff that made them unhappy in the first place all over again. So my question would be, why aren't more successful people on the path of growing, but rather involved into drugs and patty shit, even after noticing that it is a sink whole? Thanks for reading help me to grow guys!

@emow I love your words and my intuition tells me that they are really spot on, but I got to say that I can't get behind them a 100%. Especially the second part, with the systems! I love how it sounds but could you elaborate that a little bit more.

@MrDmitriiV You have such an amazing profile picture! I guess you are right, but just because it doesn't make one happy, you don't have to commit suicide right away. I am mean you can pursue other things instead. And I feel like famous people often are not guided enough from the point they are in.

@emow This sounds pretty interesting, do you mean those people rather fight against the ego death by using all kinds of human distractions (drugs, party, sex etc.) instead of facing what is there? I mean if you have no idea about this stuff theoretically I feel as if it is pretty hard to surrender to it so that would make sense. But in most cases they are so far away from real ego death, so what comes to mind (what you could have meant) would be, that even the smallest growing process requires a little bit of opening up. Widening the perspective that you accept, which means to overcome some barriers of your own ego, which always feels like a little death? Did I got you correct? If so, do you belief that it is even to painful to widen the perspective a little bit?

Hey Guys, yesterday I posted a question and got some pretty nice feedback! So I am doing it today again! Just to let you know. I have read Superior man several times and also the enlightening sex manual, but this one just ones. I need to say David Deida is a great teacher but I am far away from really getting and truly understanding a lot of the stuff he is talking about. So my question: I am a young guy and as almost everybody in my early teenage years I used to watch a lot of porn and fap on pretty regular bases. So I guess this is still in my system from my past. After that time there came a big time in my life of kind of getting control about those urges and behaviors which I more or less have today. But there is one problem left and it seems as if I don't find a sustainable solution to it. The problem is high level of sexual energy. So of course I am not horny all day or so, but I notice that at some days there is a steady tension that is not really located on any part of my body, but that wants to get out and the usual sign for that is urges to fap. I was just curious what some of you guys think about it. I mean fapping is always a solution as well as resisting the urges and not doing it. At the moment I am taking the second approach also since I am living together with my girl and we have sex most days of the week. So it is definitely nothing physical that my body needs to release, since there are a lot of times per week that it has the chance. I am especially interested in what you guys experienced in the past or so about releasing energy?

@Martin123 This whole spiritual Journey thing sounds pretty interesting! You seem to have done a lot shadow work. I know this is not easy so want to tell you that I appreciate this! @non_nothing This whole nofap approach is as it is done by a lot of people on reddit etc. not the direction I want to go. I feel those people sometimes come from a place of motivation I don't share anymore. But that was just my experience. Do you had any special advice in mind about the whole nofap thing?

That's a nice answer! Appreciate it! I got say that I somehow still hold some inner judgements against masturbating. Maybe it is from my earlier "No Fap" days or so. But I noticed that this denial of it does not help to find a sustainable and holistic solution to the whole topic of energy release (especially sexual energy). Also I am actually pretty interested in the whole topic of sexual energy and using it by circulating and stuff like that, but I just feel so insensitive to this stuff. So that I often when I notice energy is building up just go for the all know release through masturbating. But love the attitude you presented @Arkandeus as well as the way you explained the building up and releasing it cycle!

Thanks for all the replies! Was some really interesting and enlightening stuff in it!

Hey guys, I just recently watched a video from RSD where Max and Maze talked about their open relationships etc. #What I am referring to with growing deeper in love, intimacy and depth is the whole David Deida thing. As well as enlightened sex etc. Feels to me that this is the ultimate goal for sexual relationships. I am not something like a shallow RSD follower who is interested to get more lays or so. But what I was seriously curios about was the question about monogamy and polygamy. Max opened that he is in an open relationship at the moment and that he would kill for his girlfriend, but that because of his Job and the traveling he also fucks other girls. He loves to conquer and all of this stuff. Fair enough. But what made me serious was the fact that he opened that you can be truly and love and love your girlfriend unconditionally and also fuck other girls. So first of all I understand that everybody has his or her own definition of love. So this could be totally true what he says. But I am interested in the more suddle notions of love and of such a relationship. Because those RSD Guys often say yeah there is 0 drama and that the girls are fine with this style of relationships and so on. And totally there are girls out there who like this, but I am pretty sure there are also a lot of girls out there that get hurt emotionally a lot by bing in such a position of sitting at home and knowing the boyfriend fucks around. So the question that I have is, "Do you guys believe that it is possible for a guy as well as a girl to open up more and more and grow deeper in intimacy as well as communion while knowing the partner is fucking around." I mean even if both partners are fucking around. I don't see the point. I feel like it is hard to for a couple to grow stronger in love and depth by fucking other partners. To open up requires a lot of comfort an security etc. (for most people) and to know that you have other partners around, just undermines this whole notion of creating a deep and loving relationship. I am sure there are a lot of my own insecurities and limiting believes speaking out of me. But I am curious what you guys think?

Has anybody here experience with coaching? Interested in both as client or coach! Would love to connect!

@christianblake Thanks for sharing, also a little bit of your journey. I recently face similar inner damon's and as I am on my lifecoaching certification process, I noticed once again how often we think externals are the root, but they aren't. It's always internal and the answer is always within your self. So definitely go deep into yourself, because you deserve the healing as fast as possible. Not facing yourself can lead to a lot of superficial relationships which are also nice but way below that ones, you actually deserve! If you free yourself up from your inner struggles and insecurities you open up a wonderful world, full of love not just for you but also your lover. This is magic, inspiration and love for your environment and the world. Do whatever it takes to become love and magnify it, so you finally can overcome your ego and live the relationship you deserve to live. And if you get more awareness on this path, you notice that your fears are the only limitation and excuses for you to not living as love in the world!

Hey guys, it's my first post on this amazing forum. I am on this journey for about 10 month now. Recently I feel I am hitting on the first deeper fears of mine. It's about letting go of someone (more about overcoming the attachment) very important in my life. Actually it's not that I really have to let go of the person, but I notice the attachment, which is getting in my way of being full love. When I first noticed the attachment, I was kind of excited to overcome it. It is about one month ago and it was emotionally, the most painful time on this journey. Back than I got stuck in a circle of judging myself, because I tried everything (Meditation, Self-Inquiry, watched a lot of content etc.) to let go of my fears and attachments. This drained my energy so much that I slowly hit in a depressiv direction. I thought of myself as being responsible about myself and my fears at this time, which actually lead to the enormous amounts of judgement (about myself). Last week I had my first rude awakening, in which I noticed my ego being involved in the whole judgement and actually being the root for it. So the last week was easier and light hearted again. The whole situation, stretched about one whole month, just showed me how off track I can get. I was so deceived and off track, but thought that this was the right way to go about my situation. Now I am a little scared by the attempt of overcoming the fear and letting the attachment go again, but I feel comfortable with really letting it go and not trying this stuff. For that purpose I feel a huge opportunity coming up for me. One week from now my first Vipassana retreat is going to start. I feel that being aware of the fear now, as not being directly connected to myself but to my ego is freeing, but at the same time I feel the strength and power of emotions that the fear creates in me. So even if it isn't so present anymore, nothing happened about it's power. As I am heading for the Vipassana, I just wanted to ask, whether someone has a non-judgemental advice for me, about how I can set myself up properly to really work through all this and finally letting go of the attachment afterwards Thanks for reading Leo
