I haven't gotten to that part yet. What people embody your values?

I'm in high school and I bought the course last weekend. I've spent about 20 hours working on it. I highly recommend you buy it. High school is definitely the ideal time.(If not earlier, maybe with guidance) You can always keep it for later and the ideas are critical to know even if you don't want to take action yet, but just to plan out your life. I think that with the few years in high school, if you really work at it, you can put yourself in such a good position by the time you graduate while everyone else is robotically getting a bad job or going to college for something they don't like.

bioenergetics. try "the bow" specifically. It works wonder for getting out emotions and blockages. Elliot hulse has some good videos on the bow

I lucid dreamed a few times a year and since I started meditating and journaling my dreams I have them about once a week. I try to do self inquiry but that never seems to lead to anything.

That's definitely a sign that what you're doing is working

I'm in a similar situation and working on finding my life purpose on the weekends, while spending the week on academics. I recommend balance, don't give up your safety net unless you have a plan or know your life purpose

When I do SDS I get lots of pain and suffering and if I'm able to go long enough it turns into bliss and then cycles of pain and bliss. If you do a really long SDS you are pretty much guaranteed to feel bliss at some point

It's possible you are getting into a routine. Spend a few minutes connecting with your intentions first and see if that helps.

If you don't decide to go to Minneapolis I'll make it to Chicago. This is a great idea Leo! Super cool. Why don't you do it on Saturdays and Sundays? People from a distance will be able to make it in time after work/school if they are in a mon-friday schedule.

Make sure you go to bed at the same time. No artificial light 2 hours before and minimal light an hour before bed (times adjustable). What helped me was cutting out my addiction to stimulation. I used to have a terrible time trying to sleep. Now I get at least 8 hours every night and wake up at 6

I know nothing about politics and don't care. Should I learn about them? Is there any benefit?

What caused it? practices?

I use binural beats when I'm not home alone because hearing people talk makes meditation harder. I've noticed they help a lot. Mixing a long binural beat with a SDS and a good technique can put me into a state where meditation takes no effort and it feels great.

Don't conceptualize those quotes and try to "figure it out" Use them to examine a facet of your present experience and simply observe. Leo explains it like this, there is no need to try to figure it out because it is right there, all you need to do is watch it until you become conscious enough. Your realization of what that quote is pointing to will not be in words, like the quote.

I'm 16, a junior in high school and I plan on going to college. I do not know what I want to do for a career. I like psychology, spirituality, and psychedelics, but could likely be best suited for a different career. How do I make a study of the options I have? Resources, Mindsets, Teachers. (Leo, or whoever knows)Should I take the life purpose course, if I don't know what I want to do? In other words is it designed for finding a life purpose or for those who have an idea of theirs. Any other relevant advice and insight? Thanks

I wasn't planning to do so. My point was that those our things I'm passionate about, and would be interested in a career in because I'd like to benefit the world through them.

I'm in, can't wait for SDS sunday

@Peter Zemskov Try stretching before meditating? I have a lot of involuntary spasms and leaning while meditating. @Charlotte that's wild

There really is no limit to dosage. Also, many people report that after taking intense psychedelics or having a crazy trip weed was way more intense.

I mean I would never, but a friend of a friend does it in the safety of his own home, and generally does not get up but to go pee. A lot of people get psychedelics from illegal buying, but some produce it themselves.

@WindInTheLeaf I think that's a good way of saying it. Look into the contradiction and what it really means.

When you breath out, feel energy going throughout your whole body

I've watched some Tyler and noticed the same thing. Will check out Julian. Tyler has mentioned spiral dynamics before, I think he's pretty evolved from a spiral perspective too. He has lots of orange fans but seems to be at least green, some amount of second tier. He's a fan of spiritual shit.

This ones on my list of to read. A lot of reviews say its very beginner and repetitive. Is this true or is it all leo's book list hypes it up to be?
