Have not. You are totally right in saying the labeling of ego types can be used as a tool to understand our behaviors and what we focused on and doesnt necessarily have to be attached to the idea "i am this", more like I exhibited these qualities the most while growing up

Feeling committed to something greater than you does produce the momentum for discipline. Teamwork is very effective

Description says to become conscious of the subconcisius, being fully present with the urges will allow you to break free from conditioning ?

i think they seem pretty rational, simply the behavior is irrational. Her argument according to you, sounds like the morality argument for going vegan. This being said, hard to believe you she uses this argument to help someone overcome an addiction. It must have been the 'part' of the video that really stuck out to you or something

Well i think i understand. Giving away the personal 'conceptual' life is not a doing/willing, thankfully

@zeroISinfinity not bragging a bit, that’s your ego Love you man ?

@zeroISinfinity You cannot know what you are because what you are is unknowable as no-thing... Thoughts, ego cannot know it therefore cannot abuse it, ego can only abuse ego you can run from your(self) but you can’t hide

The devil only exists in the attachment/identification...this is why there's no way anyone can ever know who's enlightened and who isn't.... You wish to be wise? be spontaneous, be free, free in thinking and action...be the master of your game of chess

@zeroISinfinity but dude, YOU are the simulator...

I’ve noticed your need to be right relates to your addiction to truth ? Do you have trouble admitting when you’re wrong? Do you believe every word you say defines you in some form or fashion? Perhaps an attachment to thought/thoughts-self, observe yourself and you will know the intentions and reasons behind your righteousness many subconscious needs and beliefs you hold so it’s good to bring them to the surface through sitting with the feelings you experience during these instances when you need to be right (again maybe speaking outta my ass but take what you find helpful dude, and laugh at the dumb jokes if possible )

Hehe ? I love to sleep when I’m tired and be tired when I sleep...

They say tiredness is an excellent avoidance technique

Why do we worry? What are we so concerned about? What are we attached to? What are we seeking? Why do we believe anyone else can give us what we ourselves must realize? What do we think we are protecting?

@zeroISinfinity Sounds like you don’t like your “job” very much being human...

More self love and understanding will equate to more authentic love toward others. Self judgement and shame are huge obstacles for us Also letting go of any ideal behaviors of how love is supposed to look. We have to be present even when we react, we have to be accepting of our own flaws, imperfections and bad tendencies. We can be aware and let go of our expectations and judgments. The only place authentic love is possible is NOW and so I think you may like @Faceless thread on “no way, as way to headlessness” as well as Ivankiss threads on love, for they serve as a good reminder of the non dual expressions of love through us

@themovement Sorry i don't typically watch much of elliot hulse anymore, but he was what drew me into personal development some 5-7 years ago. He's still clinging to belief systems to stay grounded, so be aware that just because i say he's a good guy with a lot of book smarts, doesn't mean his opinions or anyone else's for that matter, should be taken as the bible. He's simply exploring new territory for himself, looking into things he once overlooked but still unable to break through his own identity. IMO of course

Elliot is a great guy and has a lot of wisdom even though he’s not quite as developed in a lot of areas as others regarding personal development, he is a respectable fella practicing radical open mindedness. I think his back ground and personality type just makes it tough

damn haha @jbram2002 you think you know it all before you even watch the video! Things must be going well man. Perhaps carry your daughter to her room after she falls...no worries if she wakes up just tel her your objective. Watch the video before we discuss more as I think it may expand the discussion...sometimes this stuff just doesn’t resonate with us so don’t feel bad if there’s no more but I can share stuff too if you’re ending up interested

@Hansu i didn’t make it clear, awareness and sitting in that zombie mode where you no longer act on the urges but let them surface fizzle and resurface (sometimes) what’s most important is figuring out what void they are filling in your life...having addictions is very common and most have some just to cope with certain thought patterns involving needs they cannot fulfill

I he’s probably referring to is the fact that you mentioned the Wim Hof method in your post, awesome job btw heres a short breathing exercise for anyone who might like to try, I followed the video, did one round and it felt pretty good

@mandyjw quick hold my “belief” I’ll do a quick check to look for impurities... no belief, no self, no impurities. There’s simply no “I” that can live this way... edit: also the trouble is figuring out the subconscious beliefs

Can he ever really know? Teal said it’s a never ending process of self love @Truth AddictI appreciate your friendship, I don’t have many. If I were to be banned, If I was to die, this would be a gift from the gods ?

@Truth Addict sorry man hope I didn’t trigger you, only teasing, as well as posting an example of a “low quality” post, that may do more harm than good. I do seem to remember Leo saying how hesitant he was in making a forum to begin with...maybe it was in the cults vid

Enough of this tomfoolery here Truth...one more outburst and I’ll have you held in contempt! i like what you’re saying, that this sort of moderating is born out of fear (from Leo) as he doesn’t wish to be overthrown or derailed and seeks to control the masses to eliminate suffering, which might have the opposite effect so by now I may possibly be talking out of my ass and so Id like to say thanks for reading! ?

@Truth Addict that’s a belief my friend but this is real life where all beliefs are relative. We all come from somewhere but most of us can’t see things from nowhere
