@Leo Gura With all due respect, what “groundbreaking intellectual work” have you been doing this year? There have been no videos and no courses. 

Even when a visionary releases a finished product or idea the public will fight against it for years if not decades until hopelessly accepting it

I was reading Leo's blog post on being a visionary.

I want to understand your POV.

• Can you become a visionary?
• How can you cultivate your mind in a unique way to be a visionary?
• What should you practice? read? being? doing? having?

 

@CARDOZZO Some loose thoughts in case it's helpful:

I would say I think like a visionary, but I'm not sure how or whether this is learnt.

I believe I developed it as a reaction to my father's cynical world view.

1. I think one thing that is really important is to think in possibilities, not in limitations.

Remove all "X is not possible" thoughts from your mind.

Contemplate a state of the world or humanity you currently think would be great if they were true, or could come true, but they can't.

Then ask: what would need to happen to make it so?

Continue until you have convinced yourself that it's possible.

2. Another component I think is important, is to study change.

Read widely, especially read history. Study the periods that humanity made huge leaps in growth.

Why was the world ready for such a change?

What contributed to it?

3. Then look at the current state of the world.

What change is it ready for?

What is already happening on a small basis, which could grow?

How could it be brought about, even if it's only a seed?

4. Fourthly, I'd say listen and read other visionaries.

Watch for your own thoughts saying "yeah but that isn't possible / won't happen anytime soon", and argue the other perspective.

Research evidence to the contrary until you have convinced yourself that anything is possible.

Seems like the key component is envisioning a powerful future and putting yourself at the source of its actualization.

I think the book "The Power of Belief" has a lot of ideas that play into being a successful visionary. It's not enough to see and think you have to have the belief and conviction to put in the effort to bring it to life.

It takes a lot of pain, sleepless nights and hard work to really bring something incredible to life and the only way I know to do that is to see your vision, believe that it's possible and then bust your ass to make it through the drudgery and pain.

Best piece of advice I can give was given to me by a psychic before my first awakening in 2011.  
 

“when you pray you give 1/3, when you fast you give 1/3, when you do good for others you give 1/3…. When you do all three of them together you give 100%. “

she was dualistic in some of her thinking (religious dogma etc) but also very connected to source. I think the point is by putting focus on higher power source/ fasting and/or cutting out worldly pleasures (if even for small amounts) and doing good for others - magical things can happen.   
 

we’re setting ourselves up well by living in-tune and if the previous work on authenticity and genuine desire to know is done - the breakthrough can happen - even without aid of any drugs.
