I mean, walking through life with full confidence, not exactly that you are going to be good at anything but that you CAN be good at anything, so it's a matter of time until you accomplish any goal you want, no self-sabotage without being enlightened? There are some humans that you look at them and think: man, what that guy did is amazing, i wouldn't imagine me doing something that hard and thriving in it in a million years. I feel like a boy inside, that i can't handle life and its problems, i often procrastinate forever in questions (hard but with enormous potential) like building a great career(going full out on my life purpose), being famous for that. It's like i fear life and i hide from it. I don't feel good enough. How to develop such confidence?

I found his reaction really compassionate, he even got on his knees to comfort the dude. I hope David finds what he is looking for.

Every thought is a involuntary thought.

Thank you, i will take a look into your suggestions. By the way, i brought your book!

Mostly "letting go" by David Hawkins(focus on the feeling in my throat, chest and belly area and let it be as it is, complete acceptance of the present moment as it is), trying to dissociate from thoughts, emotions, some mild self-inquiry, some hatha yoga. I am having trouble following some formal sitting meditation due to overwhelming anxiety and fear (sometimes looks like grief). It seems that it has no end to it, the more i surrender, even more comes up.

Hey, would you be kind to share your experience on this topic?: I am going through some tough time, i feel like dying (got worse after i participated in some online shakitpat session), i am just trying to surrender as much as possible but its especially rough when i don't see any light at the end of it, i never had any blissful experience without psychedelics so i am going on blind faith here.

The best answer i got from this question is one i got from a video made by Matt Kahn. He said that the one who is in a journey is de BODY, not You(the true Self), the real you has no free will, it is awareness itself, it's perfect, complete, infinite, indestructible, but the body, on the other hand, the body is the one on the journey, having insights, clearing blockages, old emotions, traumas, learning, evolving, undoing the energetic mess it got into etc. As you probably currently identify as the body (or something inhabiting the body), in a sense, you do have free will. In short: know that, in truth, you, who you think you are, don't have free will because this you don't even exist to have free will or not BUT, in practice, you didn't break out of that illusion, so act as if you do have free will.

Strangest phase. When everything just turns gray, all seems hopeless, you look like someone who never worked on himself at all, which is a nice blow to the ego. The feeling is like grief, apathy, depression, something is dying (i am sure it is), nothing, absolutely NOTHING is effective in distracting myself a little, i am forced to feel my feelings, i try to stay mindful, present, to let go but it seems that there is always more to let go of. The boredom is a killer, not even spiritual talks or self-development material (which i used to love, as a self-help junkie) works anymore, i don't have the patience for anything and doing nothing is too painful. I am in that phase that it looks like i already know every fucking concept that i need, more information isn't going to help, which is a little disturbing. I see myself hiding from life, taking no action at all while "problems" suddenly manifest all over the place. Sickness arises, the body is weak, painful, lazy, constant discomfort, for sure is a huge ego backlash. In truth, i kind of know what i should do, as it is not my first time, but i always love to hear your thoughts and experience about hard times in The Path.

What's the difference?

Doesn't reeally matter how its named, just words, but i see what you are saying, i am going to keep it in mind (i see the irony lol). For some time now i began an inner movement of letting go of trying to rationalize my way into the spiritual path, it has its benefits but is also limited, i am trying to let the body do its thing, my meditation is basically being present, relaxing, focusing in some feeling and letting it go.

Yes, i do use them, i think since 2017, there are lots of subs for all kinds of goals, in that meantime, i experimented of lots of them, with some fails and some victories. I learned how to listen to them, for how long (it is tempting to change subs frequently but for optimal results, you need to stick to one for at least 3 months), what to use etc. In terms of results i can say that i am: calmer, more mature, more authentic, more self-sufficient, self-reliant, more grounded, healthier, more ambitious, striving for bigger things, less fearful, way less guilt and shame, way better boundaries, using less drugs, more confident, better self-expression etc. Those are only words, they cannot describe the true ramifications of those changes in my life and in the life of everyone around me. Go for it, they do work, the new versions (better ones) only require you to listen during your sleep, it's the easier thing ever. There are some free ones if you are not fully bought in but i strongly recommend you to spend a few bucks in a paid one (with 115$ you can buy a really good one). I don't earn anything to do this marketing lol it's just how much i believe in those products for self-development.

You are afraid you are going to lose your mind or something? This can affect your trip. I understand your fear, i have some of it even though i don't have kids. I mean, you can always use 5meo later in life as you continue your work by other means.

Every time i see a topic about this subject i share this: http://www.subliminal-shop.com/ They are probably the most powerful subliminal audios in the world right now and they do work. There are even some free ones in case any of you want to try. This is my primary self-development tool.

This question may look silly (sorry, i am projecting my insecurity), but it really puzzles my mind about the nature of learning and really integrating deep self-development concepts. It is possible to "force" or accelerate an insight? When i see one of Leo's videos (let's use this example) i recognize: "this is a crucial insight", but i can't really grasp it fully, usually i get distracted as fuck (ego's primary trick). I know you can't "force" anything but i am sure you can create conditions to greatly accelerate the process of learning and integrating (fully grasping and applying it) deep self-development knowledge. Like no one can force enlightenment but we can do kriya yoga, meditate, do self-inquiry etc to create conditions that make the insight easier to hit us. As a people-pleaser, i am beginning to see how much caring about what others think (good or bad) is holding me back, obviously, this is a deep issue (lots of repeated traumas, fucked up beliefs), it's not some mind concept, it can be fully felt in the body (some sort of fear sensation, tension, anxiety etc). Yesterday i smoked some weed and saw the "How to stop caring what people think of you" video and it gave my lots of "insights", my plexus solar was on fire, my resting heart rate was high and Leo's words resonated a lot with me, he inspired me a lot. Today i woke up kind of normal, i don't know if anything really changed but it got me thinking, how the fuck Leo is able to have such insights and fully embody them consistently? Every single video is a gold mine full of hidden nuggets. I want this kind of life for myself, fully embodying all those deep self-development concepts and inspire millions to do so(this is my life purpose).

I don't know why my post if so fucked up lol tried to edit but only got worse, hope it is still comprehensible.

I often fall in this trap of comparison, especially because his life purpose is basically the same as mine, it's hard to resist the trap of thinking: "holy shit, i am nowhere near this level, wtf do i have to offer, then?" Consistency, man, this is really key and my biggest challenge, i am often a prisoner of my mood swings, i achieved a lot throughout those years of self-development and i can't even imagine if i do a routine consistently, self-discipline is really the key for success. Thanks, for the reminder, i will watch this one again! This is actually a great idea! Great list, seems to me that i need some psychedelic once again lol This "talk to yourself" approach is great, seems to be the primary benefit of journaling (a habit that i failed to install but appears constantly on suggestions from others). Buddha inspired millions, life purposes suppose to be big, ambitious, inspiring enough for you to dedicate your life to it. The need to be (or appear) humble can also come from ego (often, if not always, it does).

Let go completely! Don't try to resist, don't even try to resist resistance. You will feel a roller coaster of emotions, you will think about quitting a lot, just ignore it, expect that it is normal and keep fucking going, do not give up. I think it is the best advice i can give you because your mind will try all the tricks possible to make you quit, just know it is this way and ignore it.

I am always listening to something when i am doing stuff but i have to admit that my retention rate isn't good, in fact it is poor, i learn a lot more through reading as it forces me to keep engaged, its more like an active approach to learning. That being said, it is way better to listen to something, even if you retain 1% of it then nothing at all. And as said before, if you want to learn from audiobooks, you have to be in a meditative state, focused.

@okulele Thanks for the response, it really helped. @JerseyHoopz Thanks for reinforcing my question, it is clear to me now.

https://www.ramdass.org/ram-dass-gives-maharaji-the-yogi-medicine/ " To take them with no effect, your mind must be firmly fixed on God. Others would be afraid to take. Many saints would not take this.” The story about the time Ram Dass gave 1200ug of LSD to his guru.

That's really awesome! I think a huge electronic festival i went 4 years ago was the catalyst of my spiritual awakening, it was a huge reality check for me and i started to question everything that i knew, i was even an atheist and know i am a firm believer in god.

This is actually a great idea, i don't even know how i didn't think about it before even though my body was screaming to dance his way out of pain. That's why i love rave partys, love electronic music, i feel like a monkey in the jungle, jumping like crazy with powerful vibrations of sound hitting my body into an almost orgasmic feeling of letting go and vibrations.

For sure it is, just remain present and they will be liberated, as you are already doing. Those emotions can be super subtle to identify, can be some sort of uneasiness, anxiety (I have every time I smoke weed or take some psychedelics. I noticed that I became fidgeting and hurrying up on everything, it took a while to notice this, now when I see I just remain present, slow down and I immediately feel better, this process alone can allow the body to purge emotions

You already know the answer In my opinion, this shaking is great, is a way for the body to get rid of old stored emotions. Your body is superintelligent, it knows what to do and will point you to the direction, if it is asking for free self-expression, just let it have it's moment. I have this shaking and extreme uneasiness when i use psychedelics, gets worse with higher doses, it's like lots of emotions get loose and the body is trying to let them go, it is common for me to perform asanas, mudras and pranayamas spontaneously. With high doses of ayahuasca, shrooms or lsd is like i am performing some kind of exorcism. Hatha yoga is perfect for this! Look it up at youtube, you will be greatly benefited.

This is quite interesting, can you share her name or something? I am interested in working with deep healing through massage but don't know any techniques that do something like that.
