Cocolove

I'm 16 and have been following Leo for about a year. I've began meditating, contemplating, awareness throughout the day, etc. I've seen the way I think become so much more mature overall(Yellow) and I'm more skilled at meditation etc. I'm unable to put into place the practice that I know could produce so much more results. In recent videos Leo has mentioned the mass of followers who do not practice what he suggests and just watch because its easy to just watch. I've considered myself in the middle. The longest I've meditated every day is for a week, I have failed at meditating every day so many times. I guess it's a problem of lack of discipline. I came on here because I have an intuitive feeling that there is something i'm missing, but I'm sure I just need to discipline myself. Any advice from people who have been in a stage of development where they are unable to discipline themselves in the practice they know will get rid of the neurosis and inner demons stopping them from wanting to be alone with themselves, doing spiritual work/meditating?

Were you trippin?

Update: I've meditated(strong determination sit) for 8 days now, 20 minutes, 30 minutes the past 2 days. I'm in high school and have noticed how much free time the mind has and so i've doing self inquiry about 3 hours a day, not timed or anything fancy like that. Mostly asking what is suffering and simply watching myself suffer. Or taking a phenomena and asking what it is and simply watching it. I'm replying because i've realized what you just said, how ill go multiple hours without being aware and suddenly realize its happened. It's kind of reality shattering.

thanks to both of you, that's actually very helpful

How did you get tricked into buying fake shroom?

Hey Leo, something I would find really valuable would be if you would post the original shot on the blog or forum after the reshot video. I think this would help overcome some of the difficulty associated with every concept that is being communicated is put into the context of the viewer. It would be helpful and interesting to see how you originally phrased what you were trying to say and how you tried to say it the second time

apparently with mushrooms the nausea lasts around 30 minutes...

Leo is on the forums so maybe he'll let us know what's going on

Think about what would happen if someone went through an abundance of trauma, you would probably not be able to see that part of their character that stays the same. Same if they became a vegetable

I'm going to be a junior in high school, and have about a year to figure out if I'm going to college or not. I have no idea what my life purpose could be. Any advice on how I should figure this out in my time frame.

They still hold the same importance. You just realize it's all relative and there is no such thing as importance or unimportance. You don't need objective importance of family for them to play a familial role. Just like you don't need objective morals to not go killing babies. male and female energies are still a thing(watch leo's video on masculine and feminine psychology)

Me either but i'm a fan of some of his meditations. Leo you should make a video on it

What do you think about yoga then

he generally takes low doses

I noticed that the price of Leo's recommended book went up really high, over $50 on amazon after his video, due to demand ig. It's now at $32. Who has gotten the book on Kriya yoga, and what have been experiences with it so far? I'm going to get it soon.

I use them a lot and always wondered why Leo has never mentioned them

@Vintus haha i do the same with pot when i use it don't worry too much about which one you can control more, trying to control either, or setting expectations are both the wrong way to go. It doesn't matter if you do acid shrooms mescaline or fucking ayahuasca the first time, just start with a relatively low dose with good set and setting.

I had the goal of doing self inquiry, but ended up doing that because I was on a very large dose of shrooms and forgot all about what self inquiry and enlightenment are

mushrooms can get weird at 4g+, I almost had a bad trip but was able to let go and be fine i guess, I can tell it would of been absolutely terrible though

Only have experience with shrooms. my first time with two grams i had but for sure didn't need a trip sitter. Nothing much came up, I did it mostly recreationally. I wouldn't go higher than 3g without a tripsitter for the first time, and even that's pushing it. It depends on where you're at, level of emotional maturity awareness, etc. They are amazing to take while meditating. I've had profound insights And i've tricked myself, doing self inquiry on them I thought I was getting somewhere but I was just saying who am i over and over again and giggling without even thinking what it meant.

What differentiates this from an isolation tank? Or is it the same idea.
