That's the point of the path. When you love the suffering, the suffering stops. The hatred of the suffering is the cause of the suffering. So it's a loop.

It actually sounds like you are addicted to your house/apartment. haha Leave your house and keep your cellphone at home. And the internet addiction, cellphone addiction, jacking off, will immediately go away. Go biking, skateboarding, surfing, canoeing, swimming, horse back riding, arcade, bowling, socialize with people etc. etc. etc.

You are right. But Leo knows his post is within the maya. Leo swims into the maya and meets the ego face to face. Whereas, many other spiritual teachers fly above the maya and speak to the ego through riddles and non-dual speech. It's just a different approach.

You are addicted to thinking.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, to me, is a helpful tool to use with shadow work. It helps point out where you might be neurotic. And helps you build a healthy ego for living well in the Matrix. But the hierarchy lives within the dream. You have to identify as ego-mind for it to be effective.

Straight into the void. Chills and Nausea.

+1 It would be better to set up an interview with him instead. And have a conversation with him in person and record it. Like a podcast with him as a guest.

Shadow work is never complete. Enlightenment does not excuse anyone from shadow work - even though many people use accessing infinity to bypass having to deal with the conditioning in the psyche.

"Where I could be" will never end. It will follow us for the rest of our lives. We always think we will arrive at "where I could be" one day. But it will follow us to death. And so the earlier we understand that "where I could be" will last forever, the more at peace we will be with ourselves. It doesn't mean to stop making changes or going on the journey to "where I could be". Just realize that even on our death beds, we will think of "where I could be" or "what I could have done or been" It's a song that haunts all humans.

I can't wait to watch this.

These are my top 2. I have watched them over and over and over again. And each time, the information sounds brand new. It's like I haven't heard it before...even if it's the 100th time. Because these videos are completely against the way I live my life, what I was taught and how I regularly see things.

Mine is digital

I agree. In order to make Atheists want to hear about the Bible, which many have failed at, he is quite progressive.

Are there any high conscious television shows or movies that you like? Or any high conscious music that you like?

I think I am starting to realize how Peterson is Blue Stage. He pushes sacrifice, marriage, kids, working hard and being responsible, and is trying to bring the Bible to the mainstream world. His videos sound like sermons at church - brought down to a "washed down" level that Atheists and Agnostics won't run away from. He can instill Biblical principles into people and they don't even realize what is happening. If he mixes Bible topics, mythology, and Disney movies all in one package, people will be less suspicious. Well done Peterson. haha Genius, really.

Excellent analysis on the human identity and vlogging.

Gary Vee is great.

You are stuck within the void. It's a trap. Here are some comedic videos about people stuck in the void:

You did not "kill your ego". Your ego is alive and well. It is panicking and in fear. You stayed within the void longer than you could handle. And your ego is in panic mode and it is terrified. This happens when you are consumed by nihilism but don't have any Metta or Love. Nihilism without love or Metta is terrifying. Go back into the Matrix for a while. Watch TV (comedy) and socialize with friends and family. Do all of the things you love. And check and see if there is a supportive spiritual community in your local neighborhood. Also, try Metta Meditation as well.

You are right about this. Sometimes I worry that I opened people's pandora box before they were ready.

You are excited about a list of places that you want to visit in the dream. Leo is asking you to wake up from the dream. Of course this won't feel good! And it won't make the character in the dream happy. Because the character in the dream will die if it wakes up.

Use the term "non-duality" in your search. Non-duality kind of punches the ego in the face. haha

Do you feel negative emotions at all? Anger, boredom, sadness, annoyance, frustration? Sometimes it's easier to start with the negative.
