Okay... thats a problem... I dont know really know how to fix that.

Similar but not entirely the same. Shadow Work is way deeper. Im surprised Leo still hasnt made a video specifically on that.

Make a list of traits you absolutely hate, and find them in yourself. At first you will deny that theyre in you, but once you start your consciousness will crack up open like a coconut when you realize how diverse you personality actually is. 1.Traits 2.Journal about them, why do you hate it? Have you ever expressed this trait? etc Be creative. Its been a while since I did it, Dark Side Of The Light Chasers is a fantastic book if you want more info and tons of exercises.

Let me give you an example. I did 3 months of daily Shadow Work last year. Lets say a child that is 5 years old looks up to his father alot. They have a strong bond. One day the child falls on the ground and scrapes his knees, the child starts to cry, the father is a tough macho type of guy and says "Crying is for babies, man up! stop that! you keep crying you wont get ice-cream". The child gets embarrassed and shuts down his emotion to keep his bond with father. This happens over and over, subconsciously the child learns that not crying leads to good relations, not crying is manly, not crying to leads to pleasure, being a stoic tough guy becomes his surface personality. Crying and showing emotion becomes repressed. Everything is going great until one day at 20 y.o he meets a girl, they fall in love, but the girl gets bored and unfulfilled because the guy doesnt know how to show emotion, everytime she cries he thinks she should man up! The girl leaves him because she feels so bad. Now the guy has a problem. What once saved him and had a purpose has become a problem. Why did she leave? I though being a stoic badass was cool? Now he has to look into that crying that he repressed... His shadow. How can he let himself feel again? Of course he doesnt want to do that so he goes from relationship to relationship running into the same problem each time. What you resist will persist.

you sound delusional dude

how do you know this?

Hahahahaha you have no idea how much i understand this meme

you guys didnt even listen to the video did you... "stop giving me health advice" "it doesnt help when you spam me" "ive tried more than you can imagine"

Find a stall.

What do you mean by the last moment?

You mean back into the same body??? life??? again??? all over??? please no!

haha true dat

All I can see as a good reason is to learn how to love. Ultimately the best knowledge helps me to see from others perspective. Otherwise I dont see much reason to learn a bunch of stuff unless its ultimately for practical and technical reasons. I think I've become addicted to learning for learnings sake. What do you think? "Soon I'll have the courage to leave my thoughts behind, I'll give back all the knowledge, and keep the wisdom precious in my mind"

Seems like a cool channel.

too sad?

Could you elaborate?

Lol, this thread is all gurus and music, is that all you can be at Stage Turquoise. Can i be a Turquoise taxi-driver.

Very good point. Striking a balance between willpower and flowing with life is something you get better at with time. A car has a gas-pedal but also a brake.

Yeah, one guy basically said there was no oppurtunity for further study in Iraq so thats why alot of them went to China.

Ive must have met the best of the best then. I really liked those kids. Opened my heart to people in other countries alot.

They were pretty middle-class. But I get your point. I just think its good to realize the diversity. Theyre not all AK47 toting maniacs with turbans screaming "Death to America!"

I know, right! Almost scientific in a way.

Ive taught a class of Middle-Eastern kids from many diverse countries, in a University in China (dont ask me how I got that gig lol, its a long story) But theyre actually a mix of Blue/Orange and even Green. Theyre really cool people. A very diverse crowd of course, some were praying to Allah under their breath, kid you not! But others became really close friends with me! Now dont get me wrong, theyre probably the bunch that has a bit of money in their matress but dont assume its all so bad down there, the world is very connected and its easier to be more secular and Orange-y these days.
