@Matthias The main thing is to apply it to your life. If you don't do that, you would've wasted your money.

@Nivsch I am glad that it helped you

@JohnnyBravo What kind of abilities does he have? I am just curious

No, there is you and the ego does not exist Please don't leave, you can go through this. Once you are in it, you cannot take your decision back, it is not a good idea.

@Nivsch Green on top of beige, purple, red, blue and orange. You cannot transcend something that you haven't yet resolved. If for example someone just protests and yells at others about animal cruelty and stuff, I don't consider them a true stage green person. Even at a green stage, people need to be independent (red), organized, disciplined (blue) and be educated about things like politics, agriculture, history etc... (orange) Otherwise a person like this is useless.

There are many social barriers and fears that you can overcome by socializing, don't underestimate that! I was on a social event in February and it really helped me become more authentic and free. I mostly just had fun with the people there, as I am ok with doing that, but then, when we shared our instagram accounts and stuff, I learnt so many more things. It was the same people that were partying, that could then talk with me about Ken Wilber, Spiral Dynamics, spirituality, psychedelics... They were so open, much more open than I anticipated them to be.

@kindayellow Then it's cool Once you free your mind a bit more, it will be ready to act.

Dude you've made like 100 theories in the last year xDD

I kind of resonate with his older content, there are some useful insights there, but idk much about what is he doing nowadays tbh...

On topic: Focusing on kindness and awareness outside of meditation can help a lot imo. I noticed, that even if I meditate a lot, watching esports on youtube ruins the whole progress (unexpectedly)

If everyone here told you to follow him, would you do it? Think for yourself, do you resonate with him? Are you patient enough to spot and avoid his bullshit?

It happened to me before, that I was giving people advice without working hard on myself and I felt into hypocrisy, not really living my words. It's nice that you do all this stuff, but maybe you need to be more honest about yourself.

If you are meditating to outmeditate someone else, you are wasting your time.

Oh yeh, hanzi is art. Painting it in a meditative state feels so fucking good

@Kenneth-M Welcome Kenneth! That's a powerful one.

@kindayellow You can have a meaningful relationship, that is not a distraction with almost anyone. Just go to some social events and break the social barriers that you probably have, it will feel great. You can listen to the people to learn more about life, they can help you solve some problems or give you life advice if you feel like they are more experienced. (stay humble) Also you can just have fun and enjoy life with them As @outlandish says, many people fall into this trap of thinking, that they are moving forward in their lives, when they are actually just watching videos and getting ideas about life, without doing anything. (I don't know if this is your case, just think about it for a second) They are actualized only in their heads, according to what someone else has told them, that is good. You are free, you don't have to be anyone else's slave. Just follow the good feeling, it will show you the way. If you feel bad, you are doing something wrong, gotta find that thing. I agree with @NoSelfSelf on that, that you should probably find a hobby. Do you exercise? Do you meditate for an hour every single day? Do you read? Do you have meaningful conversations? There are like so many things you can do with this life, stop wasting your time. It is not all about getting ideas, you need to balance the theory and practice.

@tsuki I will try to investigate further on this feeling, that is being triggered in me Good point by the way, I indeed missed that.

@Tiny Nietzsche Cool! I have some friends there, but unfortunately, I don't speak Thai... I know many people who are interested in Asia and I have a lot of Asian friends too. We are kind of making fun of each other in a friendly manner, it is interesting how different we are. I think that in general, they are more disciplined, but we feel more free. Now I am working on finding the right balance between those two, maybe you can work on that? (it turns out to be a lot more different than I thought at the beginning)

@Paul92 They are what they are, nothing more, nothing less. You can be more mindful than this. It's good, that your family is engaged in it with you and is ready to discuss these problems with you. You can probably trust them more than anyone else.

@Tiny Nietzsche I know, that there is a lot more competition in Asia than there is in Europe, it is really tough. I admire anyone who survives there. It's nice that you can admit your sadness, that's a good first step, definitely better than just suppressing it. But I think, that you can still do your absolute best to move forward, while letting go of that social conditioning. Where are you from by the way?

@Paul92 There is infinite love inside you, but you add some thoughts to it Let go.

Leo has a lot of responsibility. People are going suicidal on this forum, it is nothing to be overlooked. I think that we should be allowed to question Leo (I am glad we are) and that he can also learn something from us. He is probably more developed than most of us, I admire him, I am looking forward to his new videos, but still, there are some shady spots. I just feel like Leo is the kind of guy who can understand criticism.

@Wekz First make sure to save yourself

@tsuki When he talks about other spiritual teachers. It is right at the beginning of the article. It seems like he is pointing our their „weaknesses“ and showing, that he does not have them, but doesn't directly say it.
