The traps of leo being your only teacher:

A bias toward philosophy. Though has been extremely useful, also has its downsides of being too in your head 

Not enough wisdom on finances, relationships, health 

Too much philosophy not enough action 

Leos susceptible to err, just like others

Today I wondered "what is understanding?" this distinction is important because it helps you differentiate between truth and falsehood I think. 
so I youtubed to see if leo had a video on it, and he did it. what a gift. when he first put out the video i wasn't interested but now, it's at the right time 

Another thing - 
Today I was looking for a new therapist. My current one is amazing, but I feel she doesn't have the right wisdom I need. Though - she has wisdom. She is open, understanding, kind and non-judgemental. I need that, but with deeper understanding and a slightly more solution oriented approach. She doesn't seem to have the balance of: when to give advice, and when to not. 

Good question to answer:
Why am I not resonating with my current therapist?
What kind of therapist is the right fit for me? 

What do I need from a therapist?

A quote I saw today: 

The quality of the question dictates the quality of the answer

I asked some on advice to attracting healthy relationships 

He said, instead of focusing on the right person, focus on becoming the right person and that will attract the right people 

Interesting? Idk

Leo is a supplement, not the main course

If you put the effort, you will see the results. 

You reap what you sow.

As a human being we are limited to the nature of being  human - to our environment, influences, human limitations, genetics and so much more . Our agency is incredible but also limited. Our agency can be influenced by the thoughts we think, to the influences we allow in the form of country, community, social media, people, books, and other forms of media, as well as the decisions we make.

Humans are infinitely creative beings and also simultaneously the opposite . I've experienced high creativity and also extreme stress 

Humans are also powerful creators of change in the world. I've experienced high victim mentality

What is Important? How does one even figure that the fuck out? 

What is the point of life?

Sit on each question for several minutes

Quote of the day: 

"One of the crazy things I've noticed is that you don't need to dive into like 8 hours of deep work in order to make progress in your life. If you can dive in for one hour on the most important thing for the day, with a ruthless active concentration, you will be substantial progress in your life. You can upgrade this over time. Even then, that is so much intense focus, you will skyrocket past your goals" - Better Ideas

Given that.. 

[Jacob Morres]

Something to say about being is that there is nothing to say about being - because what you say about being is not being . it's just better to witness it sometimes

but talking about being is what helped me realize that there's nothing to say about being, because being has properties that is transcendental of speech. it just is there and words can't do it justice... finger pointing to the moon 

so talking about being is also necessary as it helped me realize that insight

What is truth based on? It seems to be that truth is an illusory topic. There is no such thing as truth? If we constantly search for new truths, and we redefine what is true/not true through more experience, is there really truth? is there really just a process of gaining accuracy and deeper truths, but not "truth" itself? becuase even in non-duality leo talks about there being more to truth ?

is the Truth that leo consider with a capital T really just one truth? And all non-duality truths point to the same truth? I don't know!! I have no experience with it... 

Is direct experience itself even worthy of truth if direct experience itself cannot be defined as a truth sometimes??? ???????????????????????????????? if direct experience cannot be the absolute truth (because even if that too it is subject to change), then is there no absolute truth????????????????????? this is mindbending 

even everything i say here is not even truth but also simultaneously - it could be..

What is the heart? What is heart based living? What does it mean to follow your heart? Why does it matter?

What is intuition? What does it do?  Is it real? How much better is it than your mind? Is it better than your mind? What does it mean to live an intuitive lifestyle? 

What is life purpose? What is its purpose? Is it useful? Why would I want that? When is it appropriate? 

What is the difference between heart and intuition? Where does the mind play into this? Where does social conditioning play into this? Aren't there also times where social conditioning is important to follow? 

Is heart/intuition/mind just a model? Are they even part of the same model? Who says that in the first place? How do they know? How did they come up with that? 

fuckk so many questions
