28 cm unbuffed

@roar Thank you, man! Yes, that was a huge obstacle for me. I wanted to prove to everybody that they are wrong and I am right, too much arrogance came with that. I learned that there is always something "good" in the "bad" and I can learn a lot from these not that smart people. Lots of examples, but even when someone is 99% wrong, there is something that keeps them there, there is something valuable to learn, even if something is "lower vibration", doesn't mean that it is all wrong. That was a huge lesson for me.

@roar Yeah, wanted to do that, but some administrator told me it is not possible. Need some buffs ;(

@DivineSoda Just watch the intro. He is just the best. Do not ask any further questions. Thank me later.

@AlphaAbundance When I was about 13-14 years old, there was a stupid show on TV, for a whole country, where you were answering the questions. Based on your score, you then had to find your age group, but I was too young for any of them, the younger the group was, the more IQ points you had to subtract from your score. The youngest one there was for the 20-year-olds, the students basically. I did it just for fun and didn't give it too much attention and had to subtract a lot of points, despite the fact that I was still a stupid kid, I do not want to lie, but it was 114 points I think. Right now, after "integrating" my emotional part of the psyche, increasing my EQ (I was an arrogant, little narcissistic prick back then, full egomaniac) and practicing a lot of mindfulness and becoming an adult finally I would bet on a much higher score. I feel like my left hemisphere just got "activated" and starts to get back in shape. I do not want to exaggerate here, when I will get back on track with my life (I'm after huge energy shift process in my body and still going through dark night of the soul event) I will test it for sure and let you know

“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.” Easier said than done, but yeah, if you are bothered by something, it's not the something, it's still you, that are bothered.

How about Kim Kardashian? She is not the smartest human being, but she is really aesthetic and has big tits and big butt at the same time. Her face is really beautiful looking. She is not my type but just saying. She lacks delicacy, subtlety, and beauty (for my taste). She is too "wild", too eccentric, too dumb, just like Kanye, lol. But still - there you have a pornstar and a model at the same time. I read this quote somewhere: "hotness dies with age, beauty doesn't". And it's so true. It's like when women say about guys "he has this something in him", but they are not able to describe what it is. I am looking for the same in a woman. Undefinable.

@modmyth Yes, I think it's a thing that I got since childhood. I was always "running away" from higher IQ people, to be closer with not that clever, but good people. It changed after some time, to be the exact opposite. It's a really long story, my personality changed like a million times in my life. @Eph75 Being a strong individual for me means being strong in every area of your psyche and life. That is why da Vinci was always such an inspiration for me - he understood, that to develop your brain to the highest capacity, you have to train all of its areas, like, creativity, IQ, EQ, memory, imagination, analytical thinking, etc. Because when one of them becomes stronger, all of them become stronger at the same time, because they depend on each other.

@AlphaAbundance No fucking idea. I think it's pretty high, but due to years of living like a stupid monkey, it dropped by a lot. And now I am getting aware of that and it pisses me off, I am working to get back to who I was and how I used to behave. I see all of it (it may sound dumb), like some kind of divine plan. I was so heavily left-brained, logically thinking guy, that I could rationalize everything to myself and others, just to trick them and to fulfill my needs. Smoking weed and psychedelics got me to a point, where I got basically disconnected to my left brain hemisphere, just to heal my right hemisphere, fix my EQ and to become a "good person". Why are you asking?

@Hello from Russia Yeah, I am trying to figure out my priorities right now and how to go about it. Rationally speaking, I think getting money and pimp my looks / get a nice car, etc. is the best-case scenario, to get into dating. Or find something in the middle, where I do everything that I have to do and find some time for dating too. I think this topic was created to answer the question - is it worth to date women when you are 6-7/10, let's say, or is it better to get yourself to higher levels and then start doing it. It's not even a question just about girls. Living full monk mode is hard and I think it's better to have mediocre girlfriend, mediocre car while doing all of this to make the process easier and then transition higher from that point. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe I should go all in, hardcore. I wonder how did Leo go about it, I am not sure if I am even going to have enough time for all of this, practically speaking. I think I should just sit down and sort these things out to create a game plan, I am sure, that getting financial freedom is something that consumes me and motivates me the most right now. I just want to get lust out of the equation and thoughts like "oh shit I am wasting another year of my life, being alone, where I could be dating girls".

Quick update on this topic: I found enough courage to ask a random cashier girl for a phone number. I think that was what created dissonance in me: that urge to prove something to myself. This just was keeping me in this strange thought loop: should I just go for meeting girls or focus on myself and my bussiness right now. The key to everything is: you’ll never fucking now, until you accept yourself as a human being, that makes mistakes and try to find out what is the right choice by EXPERIENCE. Fuck me, so simple, yet the mind is so clever Just let yourself to make mistakes, even when conceptually you know that these are just stupid things and ego stuff. That speeds up the process by a lot and let’s you to find „the good” in „the bad”.

@Son of leo Yeah, there are tons of people smarter than me in various areas of life. I never met someone smarter than me overall in real life. That's why I am also cocky - because my arrogance is high as well, because of all of that. And I know, being cocky, narcissistic and egotistic is, in fact, being dumb, not smart, but I am clever enough to convince people, that I am right and they are wrong. When in fact it's the opposite. This is one of my biggest problems in life. Paradoxical and fucked up, I would really need to meet a fucking saint, so he could talk me out of my bullshit. @Leo Gura and @Nahm are great teachers for me and I highly admire them, but still - there are not my real-life friends.

Hey guys. I really want to find my own chronotype, to know, what is my best sleeping pattern. I tried various times a day to go to sleep and wake up, but that takes too much time and I am not able to determine if I am tired because of last night shitty day, wrong time of eating supper, etc. I also tried using some apps from Appstore, but you have to pay for most of them and it's not convenient. I am looking for some kind of research, that I can perform on myself, to find that out, once for always. Have any of you do something like that with yourself? Thanks for help.

@Peanut What you are saying makes sense. I get guilty about getting angry, when I try to convience someone about something. It might be about not being confident enough to trust yourself and your own choices, opinions, values. I am only smart in my own head, it’s not experience based knowledge. Yes, that is exactly it. @Leo Gura Thank you again.

@Raphael Yeah, you sound like me. @PenguinPablo This is exactly what I need to do, find a new tribe, someone to really "compete" with, smart and woke people. Awesome, thank you.

Projection Edit: fuck me, if I was really confident about myself being smart, I could've interpreted it as "yes, I am smarter than I think I am", but I got triggered there. Thank you Leo.

@Raphael I think it's after really getting to know me better. I do not "look smart", act smart, I do not feel the need to show that I am smart. I prefer to be a normal dude for people around, I don't have anything to prove. it's natural for me, after knowing someone better, to advise him about something, to have deeper conversations. And this is the moment, where most of people recognize that I am a smart dude.

@Leo Gura It's not about being not being humble enough or something. It's not about not being confident either. It's more like saying joking about myself to humiliate myself, not to show myself as a smart person, just to fit in, as I described in a post. I am 100% honest here - my problem is not being too cocky, I already got that covered. @Natasha @LastThursday What you are saying here is really interesting. I developed a huge spiritual ego and I right now I'm at the stage of my life, where my priorities and values turned upside down. I went through dark night of the soul process and I am basically an awakened being. That left me somehow empty, I could just sit all day, playing video games or become a monk in the mountains, but that is boring as fuck. I want to conquer the world now.

@Natasha I never said that I am not a happy person, I am. I am the happiest person that I know. That does not mean, that I should stop developing myself and this thing is still on my mind, which stops me from reaching higher levels. Maybe I misunderstood your point here, correct me if I did.

My EQ is high as well. I got there thanks to my IQ, by understanding one simple fact. Everything is a mirror. What you send, you receive. How you treat others, others will treat you. Simple physics. To get there, simply learn to love yourself more and treat yourself with more compassion and kindness. That way, treating others with compassion, kindness, understanding, and love will become easier. Learn to understand yourself better. This way you will be able to empathize more with others. The more you are a friend to yourself and treat yourself good, you will be able to share that with others. From a practical point - relaxation techniques, psychedelics, breathing exercises, clean diet, exercises, basically - everything that will balance hormones and emotions in your body, so you can control them, in other words - observe them, instead of following them and their lead.

I use these exercises in the morning : The lower back is closely connected to your sense of security, money, etc, root chakra if you prefer that approach. In this time I think it is really smart to put these things as a priority. Also maintaining gut health is really important. In the afternoon I do pushups, crunches and squats, also I ride a bike every day to get to work. Exercising legs is really important to stay grounded.

@universe thank you bro, I feel that is going to change me, back to who I was when I loved myself, without even knowing that you can feel somehow different about yourself lol

I am working hard to get my head straight, I am going through my spiritual awakening process right now and there are little things that are still out of balance and some little things to work in a future probably. But there is one huge thing that keeps coming back. It's these thoughts like "I am lucifer ego development archetype", "I am a bad guy", "I am bad", etc. It is probably because I was really into self-development for past 3 years and I got into spirituality balls deep. I was trying to be the best person that I can, not hurt everyone, basically a Jesus fucking Christ. And it ended up with having no boundries, getting lied, pulling narcisstic people into my life and being used like a bitch. Now I am thinking about becoming famous, rich, beautiful, Kanye West's / Joe Rogan's / Russel's Brand path of development really resonates with me. I worked a lot to get more confident, courageous, manly, etc, so these things are not a problem anymore (I still hear their voices in my head, but they are not a part of my life anymore). But I have no idea where this idea about "I am a bad person" comes from. If I could at least know the mechanic that is causing that, maybe it would be easier to find the cause. Do you guys have any idea? Thank you in advance.

this guy is dogmatic as fuck, you can see angry animal that wants to fuck inside of him, but he is too damn religious that his own bullshit is killing him from inside I can see the same exact thing in Jordan Peterson "life is suffering man", "life is tough" they created hell for themselves

Hey guys! I was thinking a lot about what is keeping me in a "thinking and being stuck in a past" mode of thinking. And i figured, that a lot of my thoughts oscilate around people, that I wish I could help. First thing that I did, was looking for a flaws, that I saw in them, in myself. Then I noticed it might be something way different than that. I think it is connected with how I've been raised and being a sensitive person, this article tells a lot about it: http://highlysensitive.org/19/new-article-by-jenna-avery/ I am fully aware, that it is just my ego, that wants me to stay there, telling me that I am some kind of Christ, that has to suffer for their sins, Messiah complex or some shit. Do you guys know any practical methods to get out from this? Other than that and these kind of thoughts, my internal is really on great shape. Thank you a lot in advance! Ps. One more thing, I have a lot of thoughts, telling me, that I am a bad person, battle between good and wbił inside of my head, am I this or am I that. It intensified after my dark night of the soul experience, I think, it is just my emotions that are balancing out. I kind of feel guilty, because I thought that I want to be a self-development coach, a teacher like Leo and it comes out, that I am the exact opposite of that. My „guilty dream” was always to become a rapper, now I am too old for that and I am thinking about becomind na actor. The guilt on that is that, I do not see a value in it, that I will give the world (again, being too good and this responsibility for all of the world thing). I’m just sick and tired of my mind telling me, that I am a bad person. What is the root problem with ale of that? It is all caused by one thing, that I cannot see.

@Nahm This post if fucking gold. It's like reading a good book. Great job, thank you, Nahm
