@Shin Lol he isn't really the soccer stereotype.. He is also spiritual in his own way, but kinda hesitant to develop himself further... And yoga?? Eh... Not for me. I'm just this deep meta philosophic occultism-oriented person who likes to crack a cold one with the crew (assuming that whatever's cracked doesn't contain alcohol, so it can range from cocoa milk to iced green tea). Here's a picture of me:

What does he mean by "Better to die than live in a sleep"?

I agree with Vingger. You really have to ask yourself how much of that overthinking leads to results. Besides that, I would recommend having a thought journal, or just having a few blank print papers to fill up with thoughts, then throw them away if you want. But the best is having a note-taking app, and every time you have a need to overthink, just write, and write, and write... Write your heart out. And see what conclusions you got. That, combined with 10-30 minutes of meditation daily can be helpful. Good luck to you!

What about carnivore animals? Specifically carnivore pets? Just a thought/question. I agree that fast food and grains damage our bodies, and I loved Leo's video about how to shop for food. I will never look at food the same way again! But I think meat is needed sometimes. Although I'm also very new to this. However, I have read pro-meat articles about vegetarian studies, and all of them seem to be conducted by animal rights promoters or something (thus might be biased), I can't remember the exact informations written there, read it long time ago. I think the site was called "Let them eat meat" or "My plate". Look up these terms if you want, and I do admit I have to do my research. Also, I'm not attacking anyone with my initial question, as I myself am also considering to try out the vegan diet for at least a month - after reading up on it ofc. If anyone could recommend a list of books to me, that would be great.

You just need a stronger vision. Also try accepting your feelings, everything is how it should be. Just do what feels right to you, even if it's not something you would hear from, say, a zen master or whatever. Be our own master and live by your own terms. Create your own life and live it by your own rules. Follow your heart. Good luck to you!

Do you expect to get any book for free from the book store? No. Then why do you expect other people to work hard on courses and other material just to give it away for free? Would you work for free on various projects? The materials presented here are the results of a life-long investment, both financial and energy. Do you think this comes for free? Not to mention most of the materials presented here are free (the videos, etc.). Maybe you should stop considering business a "bad" thing, and grow up. Besides, people following Leo blindly is the result of THEM being atached to ideals, and THEM thinking Leo is omnipotent. He never claimed to be. He is just a young man making videos, no one forced you to watch his stuff, let alone buy his stuff. Jeez. What made you create this post?? Sounds like you're dogmatic.

@Epiphany_Inspired I never want a child.

@Joseph Maynor Aww tnx @K VIL Thanks!! I feel old sometimes so this really made my day. @Study Good luck to us! @Hardkill Try to watch videos where people approach girls or other people and learn from there I guess. For me it helps to watch all sorts of shows, then I kinda know how to act in a certain situation. Like simple shows, about anything, that usually also have romance in them.

@Shiva Oh god, actually, I tried a dating site yesterday, full of pervs if you ask me. @Spiral I did love that person with all my heart and still do and will forever, he is like the most perfect human being for me even if he is super flawed sometimes, but I accept every little detail and see him for what he is. This doesn't mean I have to be sad after the break up because I truly love him and respect his freedom, I don't feel like possessing him as an object. That's why I said I'm not sad. I'm sad, but it's because I'm lonely, not because I was attached or something. I mean we still go out for a beer and give each other advice (esp. him cause he's older. He gives me dating tips now ) Also naah, I'm looking for intellectual men not hook-ups. Maybe a dating app would be the best option for me, but I had a bad experience yesterday (I still have trouble setting boundaries...). @blazed But are those the kind of guys I want to meet? Who like me for my butt only? But you're right kinda... Oh well. I'm actually lucky cause I'm super curvy, thicc, athletic (don't even work out I'm just like this), and my face is like a 7.50-8/10? I noticed when I had makeup on and sexy clothes my boyfriend (now ex) sort of wanted to rip off my clothes when we were walking in the forest, and he usually barely holds my hand (this was last summer). I think my weakest point is that I have super-short hair, but that's my fault, I did it, so no excuses, I know, I know. Thanks for your sincerity and the direct approach of the situation, highly appreciated. @Girzo Thanks for the feedback! @Barbarian Number 8 I'll try this once, I guess? Tnx. @Shane597 Thanks for your feedback! @aurum Thanks, I know this teacher, he is pretty good at what he teaches.

@Ayilton I'm pretty sure I'm listening because I like music and it makes me happy. @SgtPepper While I do agree that music does have the aspect of self expression, I see nothing wrong with that. And again, I'm listening because it calms me, I release stress, makes me energetic, and I find it beautiful. I don't feel like I have to excuse myself for feeling this way. I just wish I could listen less so I'd have more time for more important stuffs... @pluto Prettyyy :> I like it! @Faceless Oh cool, sounds like you have a good taste. For me, I have to listen to every genre and experience every feeling that they give. I'm mostly into darker, deeper stuff.

@Serotoninluv Agreed. @SOUL What do you mean? @Faceless Sweet I live native american drums @Sri McDonald Trump Maharaj Cool way too look at the subject, I'll think about it. @alyra For me I think listening to music is more than just a bad habit since I listen all day, so I am addicted. And yeah, obviously not going to give up my carnal needs, and personally I think of enlightenment as something natural, not groundbreaking. Isn't in my top priorities right now. Also consider that many people think many different things about enlightenment and what it is, what it means for them, so it's a lonely journey. For some, awakening to the law of attraction is what enlightenment means. For others it's ascetism. As Leo said too, different people access different aspects of reality. For me enlightenment would mean that bliss of non-doership combined with the nature of consciousness/reality-fabric. What I practiced a lot is biokinesis and it taught me a lot about reality. That was my path. Now your path might be totally different. So yes, I agree that we are not yogis, not at all. The yogi life-style isn't for everyone. Honestly I think of myself as a pretty average or even lower than average person. @pluto Is the vibrating sound of my neon light healing? Buzzzzzzzzzz...... Jk

@Spiral Why would I suffer from this breakup? It's over and that's it lol. Nothing to suffer through. Or is there some rule that you must suffer after a break up? You're right, but I don't know how to make the first move, and there are almost never any concerts or events so idk. And I don't feel like spending money on traveling to "hunt dick". I'm really scared of people too, I admit I need some help or self-help to feel more comfy. I actually have a friend who always brings other friends I never met before and I think that's cool, but most of the time it's teens and I feel old. But nah, I kinda don't want to depend on him, not quite sure what to do. Thing is, I'm not this super cute nurturing sweet creature of light or whatever, I'm super moody, slow, sometimes rude, way too quiet, and I want people like this next to me. And this type of people like me usually don't go outside (because we don't feel at home next to other people who are constantly dramatizing and whatnot). I would like someone mature, authentic and similar to me in what i described before. That's why I was thinking dating sites. Why do you not recommend dating sites?

@Psyche_92 No jealousy, no emptiness. Idk what you're talking about. @Melwyn Hmm good question... Most "relationship gurus" say you have to make yourself look super cute then go to events and such to get noticed and then someone will approach you. But this sucks, because I cannot approach anyone, because I'm a girl and I'm not supposed to do that. That would make me look desperate. Was looking for some tips from other girls and women.

@Serotoninluv You mean while travelling? Sure. @Epiphany_Inspired Thanks!

@Nahm Thank you!

Alright, so I came up with this idea of writing motivational statements for those of you being unmotivated/lost in life or who are lost in mental-masturbation. Truth is I'm also writing some of these for myself in case I ever need them. I'll list some that come into mind, and you guys can continue writing these "if...then..." statements in posts below. Put your ass to work, people! If truly you want something, then give it all you got to get it. If you are poor, then stop excuses and get creative. If you are overweight, then put aside 20 or 30 minutes a day for fitness (it's not that much plus it's your health!!). If your family annoys you, then stop depending on them and move out. (assuming you are 18+, if not, just study hard or spend as much time as you can in the local library) If you feel lonely, then 1. join a community, 2. approach people at your school/college/work, 3. call an old friend, 4. do the first step towards someone (people don't bite), 5. befriend yourself and enjoy quality time or 6. pick up a book. If you want a boyfriend, then stop staying at home waiting for "prince charming on the white horse", and go outside to socialize. (no excuses, if it's important for you then: you do have time, there's no obstacles, your town is just fine, someone out there is worth your energy) If you want a girlfriend, then meet more girls and actually learn how to talk to them. If your partner is not the right one, then stop depending on them for anything from sex to financial security, and find The One (or else you'll be miserable). If you're mentally ill and want to heal/get more stable, then ask yourself how much effort you actually put into this and the resources are you investing on becoming better. (then the solution is obvious) If you suffer because of your beliefs/belief system, then ask yourself if they're worth holding in the first place. If you want to do something but are hesitating to do it, then remember that life is short. If you want something big out of your life, then you have to learn. A lot. Non-stop. Forever. If you want to be the best in your field, then you have to develop the skills. And you do that by practice. If there's an obstacle, then there's a solution too. If you want to tame your mind, then meditate. More to be added soon.:)

@Serotoninluv You just gave me the best idea. I too could travel to the nearby bigger town. Tnx

@Leo-Tzu You're right, I might even hold back my bf from growth without realising it. @Epiphany_Inspired All this consciousness-oriented stuff is giving me a head-ache sometimes, y'know. I think where I am right now I don't even satisfy the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy... so I need to take it slowly. I like to keep a balance between spirituality and fun. Honestly I don't even see a difference between the two. I see everything as spiritual, everything has magic in it. It's incredible. I don't feel the need to neuroticly cut off "low-consc." stuff, although I do care about healthy diet and such. One step at a time. I already get more insights that I can process anyway, and I'm neglecting my "carnal" needs...

@BjarkeT Ahhhhhhh, old Leo <3 I loved those vids. Ok, and I do this in front of the mirror or something? Also it's pretty hard since I don't live alone in the house, and I'm never alone here. But that's just another excuse. I'll make it work. Tnx. @Serotoninluv Depends where you live, if you're stuck in a small town like mine, you get like 1-2 events per year. PER YEAR. And no groups really. Maybe just radical religious ones. @Epiphany_Inspired Thanks for your empathy. And it's cool to be alone sometimes, but as I said, all the time? I'm alone all day, all week, all month, all year, all my life I've been alone. I don't get what's so romantic about it.

Did you get any results?

@BjarkeT Good idea, I actually would like to try that... except where I live people aren't that open to strangers, they might think you want something from them or idk. At least in a small town like this. But yeah, I could easily spot the people who would be good for me so I might try. Problem is, what do I say to them? Or any books on cold-approaching? Also my looks aren't too pleasant, I look aggressive and cold hearted. I remember when once I went off-meds I got my serotonin levels pretty high and I could easily talk to anyone. Actually people approached me! Some crazy LoA stuff was going on! I'll never forget those times. But now I'm on my meds again. And it's nothing I can do about it.

Omg what is dissss I feel this all the time about literally everything, am I a monster? Even inanimate objects and plants. And especially my boyfriend.

They're your values, and it's fine to stick with them. No one can ask you to "bend". Just make sure these values aren't based on some fear, like fear of getting pregnant (I actually suffer from this). Also ask yourself if you have some limiting beliefs about sex. You seem like the type of person who needs intimate sex, I mean sex that has love in it not just carnal satisfaction. And if you want some men like that, well, it isn't that rare, there's a group of people whose sexual orientation is Asexual. Which means they might have sex with you, but don't crave it. But everyone has different definition for their (a)sexuality, so be compassionate when you meet someone. You could download an asexual dating app and meet asexuals. I met many asexuals and they're cool people. I don't think your therapist meant to hurt you, he is just trying his best to help you. He suggested an idea, but it's up to you what you do with your life. It's your life.
