I don't like the whole thing where you stand up and identify yourself as an "alcoholic" or "addict." Intuitively, I think that kind of reinforces the ego identity of addiction

This is also good, pressure grows the ego most in a good way. I mean walk before you can run, but if you put yourself into a situation where you have to support yourself more and more independently (and it's not too much for you) you'll have less time to entertain your addictions. Things like life purpose or moving country... Doing something with your life. This is ultimately what will fill the hole your trying to fill with food and porn.

Get addicted to making money?

Lots of people pour their energy all into self improvement in some aspect. If you can find something to lose yourself in that builds yourself up It can ease the tension of a difficult situation.

Our parents didn't have the internet so they're more limited than us. More blatant recognitions of generational failures points to a steeper increase in us. It's kinda like when Leo said about how the more you experience cringe when looking back on your past self the better...it shows major progress. I guess

This is actually more of an interesting topic than a lot of people consider. From an economic standpoint and social evolution, it's pretty obvious that on the whole country's like the USA in the United Kingdom are generally more evolved. These countries are called MEDC's (more economically developed countries) if my memory serves. What's interesting though is being higher on the evolutionary scale on average produces a lot of strange and weird results that I find to be unexpected. For example, a significant amount of the population seem to be lulled into a sort of low grade, benign stagnation. Essentially my understanding is that this probably comes from a polarization of classes. In certain areas there's a lot of stupidity too... Where you might find that something is common knowledge in the likes of a poor country, where people tend to be slightly more street smart, people living in the United Kingdom are sort of in a protected bubble of McDonald's, Amazon deliveries and supermarkets. I know for a fact that this likely comes because; prosperity breeds complacency. So it's not a simple upward movement of a country just because it is economically developed. Some of the stupidest people in the world live in the most developed countries. And so while Western countries do tend to be more economically developed, this stage in the evolutionary process is typically seen to induce all kinds of malnourished, deformed and f***** up people and situations. Without doubt it's a temporary thing until such a time as Western countries learn how to maneuver masterfully in the new world of smartphones and microwaves. I see that the self improvement industry (especially with teachers high quality as Leo) meaning of instrumental importance in this process. But it'll probably take many years. You could research the study done by sepian labs on the state of the mental health of each country and the rank. The United Kingdom for example is the second most mentally ill country in existence. The USA is about middle. There is so much work to do it's unbelievable. Ultimately we just have to keep making the correct moves and trusted the energy of God will keep correcting itself, which it will. But in terms of personal lives and living in one of these Western countries, do not make the mistake of assuming the people are happy here. It is my full intention to move away from the United Kingdom. It sucks major ass.

@Rigel I'd be interested in hearing more about your progress bro, there's a decent chance I'm going to teach beginner piano at some stage. What instrument do you teach?

We need to turn this place into a disco

Lol. Yo homies, the left have to be careful they could inflamed the right so much that they cause them to become so strong and relentless that it could start a civil... situation. Let them have their dumbass parade and wait for it to fade. (Also I know this statement is probably incorrect and that in fact it will take every tactical method to remove trump, don't tell my lower self it's wrong).

Its cool to be kind and fluffy, but the idea that you need to be nice all the time can cripple you. I abandoned the *principle of constant* niceless long ago. Replaced it with genuine love, directness and reality. In other words, I keep it real.

More emojis?

Still pretty young. Once again we have no idea what your situation is, so it would have to be you to consider all of these points and make them coherent in your own mind. You've got a bit of time? Just sit with some relaxing chill music and contemplate on what you actually want from life. It can be an experience of enjoyment and love felt deep in your stomach as you just sit and visualise and ponder the fact that the entire earth is at your finger tips and there is nothing you cannot do. Granted you'll need to work for it, but focus on what makes you feel fulfilled. Really man, you should fuck with life purpose and Leo's foundational material if your noticing these kinds of issues like self esteem. You need to lay a proper foundation. I'm realising this more than ever myself

@OBEler plenty of time for extra research, won't be doing it for a while

Oh shit your right, hell, you can combine a lot with 5meo. Looks like its only deadly if you combine with SSRI's or MAOI's. amphetamines and cocaine are still labelled an "unsafe" rating. Man Im super super pumped to try the mdma+5meo combo. I know we already know this one, but for comprehensivity sake; there are multiple 5meo combo rankings. 1. Low risk & synergy 2. Low risk & decrease 3. Caution 4. Unsafe 5. Highly dangerous And 6. Serotonin Syndrome (risking death) Mdma + 5meo is a level 3 "caution". I think I recall that they potentiate eachother though so maybe lower the dose the first time from both..? Ketamine is even safer, a level 1 rank. Fucking pumped.

Ok so this is a good practise to get into, with spirituality and in pretty much every situation in life. Not to say that you need to have a hard and fast action plan with 34 steps and know exactly what your going to do to get to a desired end goal or outcome...but it's really powerful to always have the end in mind right at the start. Know what your doing and why. Do nothing meditation is cool, but you *need to know why your doing it. Try not to float aimlessly in life. Always have *some kind of plan with a clear desired result. Your not alone here btw, I used to frequently find myself in meditation and after half an hour of sitting quietly I think..."what the fuck am I doing?" Not to say that do nothing isn't good, it'll quiet your mind...but it'll lack power. Psycs can help with throwing you into a state where change is demanded and you can formulate creative solutions to problems...but just be aware that you really need to have a super stable and establish base for solid tripping. Remember, psychedelics will still tinker with your neurochemistry and that's what governs things like self esteem and motivation. The last thing you want to do is to accidentally induce more psychological instability or dysregulation. You could end up fucking yourself up more. Young brains need to be handled with care. Ok so recreation. It's ok to be honest about this. Fun and beauty is fine, but don't tell yourself it's for self improvement if it's really about fun and beauty. Drugs won't replace years of dedicated focus and strategically investigating how to constantly adjust your self improvement methods until you eventually force a checkmate on some of your real world problems. Stay with us here in this community...Leo's content is fabulous. And free All of us here help eachother grow and develop. I'm not taking psychedelics atm, I used them irresponsibly. Making posts like this is actually partly what I do to help me process my own mature approach to chems. You will become a juggernaut if you focus on the sober exercises. Somatic healing techniques (see Leo's ep on holotropic breath work). I trip only very occasionally now. Don't do what Leo did with psycs, he makes regular juggernauts look like my guinea pig, squeak. Think about waiting till your older for hardcore tripping. Not to say you can't trip now, but you should join the actualised movement and learn mysticism theory. If you like this kind of flavour, who knows, maybe with a slower, more paced and calculated approach, you could make significant progress towards enlightenment.

Diexonol-4 When ingested it lasts 4 hours. It has strong visual elements but has the safe, comforting elements that ketamine has. It pulls a soft silk blanket of calmness over you while you enter a tranquil dimension of peace and gratitude while transcending human existence. It has the unimaginable bliss of 5meodmt but it comes on so slowly that you don't even notice it happening and before your even aware, your in heaven. In a tranquil garden made of light and orgasm's. Then the compound actually makes you have orgasms lol. then it gives you the ability to spawn shit in.

Pleasure. @Whoami3 I have no idea about your life situation so I can't speak. I'm getting a small inkling (that could easily be mega wrong) that your using drugs for the sake of it without actually understanding why your doing it. If you have a half baked, sort of whimsical idea as to why your doing it, it'll taint everything else and make it hard to skilfully navigate this terrain, especially considering how abstract it can get. If this is the case my best word of wisdom would be to place a significant amount of your focus and energy on developing radical clarity and self honesty on the why of your motivation. And try to avoid quick one liners like "to heal" or "to get enlightened." Establishing unrelenting clarity on the why behind all of this is a must have insight. Is this something you've thought about before?
