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.

I have an intuition that when my consciousness expands, it allows me to receive higher-level knowledge/wisdom. That's why you suddenly have an insight, you just "get it" some idea that you previously didn't get it or you didn't even saw anything special about this "idea". It is a really nice feeling, you feel like you earned that piece of wisdom.

I didn't have any enlightenment experience BUT i do know how uncomfortable this fast change in consciousness can be, i question my sanity on a weekly basis, sometimes more, depending on how hardcore my sadhana is at the moment. I learned to pace myself, no need to sprint all the way in, don't make your path harder than it needs to be. GROUND YOURSELF. This is key, work on your root chakra will keep you grounded in "reality", you will be able to integrate your change in consciousness way easier this way. Recently i found that Hatha yoga is perfect for this, it is helping me a LOT with this excess energy, overactive third-eye, overthinking monkey mind that goes insane every time that it is challenged, we all know that your ego won't survive the journey so fear is absolutely normal. I suggest that you get in contact with nature, feet on the earth, go to the beach if possible, interact with people you like, do some exercises (again, hatha yoga is great, tons of free videos on Youtube), eat some heavier foods if you feel like it may help (helps me), stay away from psychedelics for a while, practice concentration meditation (leo have a video about it, it is great to grounding), go easy on self-inquiry or contemplation in general until you feel ready, it shouldn't take long, it takes a few days for me if i follow this guideline The best tip i can give you is RESPECT YOUR BODY, it is HIS spiritual journey, you are like his spiritual guide, "you" are already enlightened but it is your body the one who have insights and struggle to integrate them. Let the body integrate all it wants, offer it unconditional love all the way. See this video with full attention, Matt helped me a LOT in the worst of times, love is really the only answer:

Yes, i practice telling "I love you" to myself all the time, especially if something "nasty" arises like i get angry or judgmental, egotistical etc I send love to the part of myself that is screaming for attention and love (learned this from Matt Kahn, good shit). Other than that i say and think "i love myself" all the time as an affirmation, it is a fairly new thing but i am seeing improvements

I recently started practicing hatha yoga with a teacher(two, indeed) and it helped me a lot with the blocked and stagnant excess of energy in my body, i feel like it was the missing key to dealing with my kundalini awakening (not as hard as yours but pretty scary anyway). Any experienced yoga teacher will be able to help you with it, giving you some tips or even a little comfort as you will meet with someone that walk the path you are going through.

Loved this topic, i started hatha yoga recently and i am fucking loving it, a LOT of purging is going on, i feel lighter, clearer, more centered, more confident, calmer etc. I have a huge problem with dandasana, even if i cross my legs, if i don't put a cushion in my but, it is hard as fuck to keep my spine erect and i start to shake like crazy, lots of emotions bubble to the surface

@Mezanti You are absolutely right! Luckily, i am very active (gym and hatha yoga) The effects of the exercises on my brain are clear, this is my one constant since i reached rock bottom ten years ago which started my self-development journey.

I have this problem that i had to deal all my life and that brought me to the self-help world 4~5 years ago but i just feel i haven't improved as much as i need. Basically "i have" crippling ADHD, i know it isn't helpful to brand myself as it can turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy but let's say i have all its symptoms. At first, i dealt with it as an organic problem so i tackled it from all directions, cleaned my diet to the max(mostly vegan raw foods), used all sorts of supplements, nootropics, started meditating, forced me to read a lot in order to develop focus. In fact it all helped me a lot with anxiety in general, depression but my ability to focus for a sustained amount of time is just SHIT, my brain is simply all over the place al the time. Recently i started to think this can be an emotional problem, a belief, trauma or something like that. I tried to analyze from all angles, what could be the origin of it but it's hard to pinpoint exactly what. Let's say i have a really messed up family, my mother and father have lots of success barriers and traumas(they also "have crippling ADHD") and i have roughly abused all my life. I have deep abandonment issues, fear of "not being enough", generally i have a poor self-esteem, i usually assume that i can't be successful at anything, i am not competent or even able to be competent, especially due to my history of not being able to follow through with a task that demands cognitive sustained effort for a period of time (like studying, reading, watching some video etc), i get INSANELY anxious when i sit to study(anything, could be a self-help book, for instance), my brain is all over the place, looking or my next bullshit excuse to drop that task, it's a constant battle, every single moment of the task which makes it extremely frustrating and makes everything worse. I also noticed that i have a low tolerance for failure and rejection and constantly unconsciously sabotage myself. I want to say that i am currently taking action at dealing with all my shit and slowly but surely making progress with my past traumas, emotional and energetic blockage, limiting beliefs etc. I started to see the benefits of visualization and hypnosis (which is a visualization with PNL) and have been doing it every day but this "ADHD" seems to be a DEEP problem that i couldn't even touch until today even though it has been my main goal for all those years and without solving this, i have no hope of succeeding at anything, it really can be the difference between a blissful or a hellish life. I would love to hear some opinions on it, i am sure you guys can offer unique and valuable perspectives with practical suggestions.
