    BTW dude if you can't wait for her 45 minutes once then what are you trying to do? 

    I have driven 2 hours for pussy many times. 

    @SFRL My man I am not getting any pussy. Remember that I am a teen. On monday, wednesday and friday I have to go to fitness after school. On the other days I have to study for the upcoming tests. I might try Thursday.

    Dude that was the advice. Instead of just fixating on this one girl, why don't you shift your focus to becoming a guy that any girl in your high school would want to be with?

    Your thinking is small. Think bigger and think more long term.

    @aurum That actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

    You wait for her after school, in the long grass.

    Just like you do every day, dont make a big deal out of it. Or make a big deal about it but be excited and confident - then she will feel excited as well. Dont be afraid - then she will be afraid as well, we dont want that.

    @universe You want me to wait 45 mins everyday after my day at school has ended? I don't understand your advice. Or do you mean wait until she randomly occurs later in my life? I don't understand ''in the long grass''.

    I would recommend that you sample around for different techniques on emotional mastery before you make up your mind. Check out Leo’s booklist for that. I think that Leo is very different to most of us because he had a good upbringing and very little problems. Most of us are here because we have a lot of problems in our lives. I would suggest you find authors and teachers who have expertise in the arena of your problems. Leo’s booklist is a great place to start.

    @How to be wise I read posts about recommendations to buy the booklist if you were a teen. Most people disagreed and said it would just be to much for a teen. Guess what? I am a teen. I will just stick around with my own booklist, it already exists of 32 books so I am good for now.

    Hello there everyone. I am still new to this forum and the YouTube channel, so I finished sharmanic breathing yesterday. Nice experience I have to admit, but I do have a few questions:

    Leo said that the chances of deep emotions coming up was high if you did sharmanic breathing. All I got was laughter. I felt weird, but I guess great during and after the breathing. I still have a little of the feeling in my chest. I wondered if it's oke to do it more frequently if you are just starting. I will watch the ''The Dark Side Of Meditation'' video, but I don't think it will matter. From Leo's small resume, both meditation and this can bring up hidden emotions/traumas. It turns out I probably don't have any. Or else I might have felt it during the breathing. 

    Oh and what schedule would you advice for me? I am just curious about all the types of schedules people will recommend.

    You should tell her: "Hey, didn't we go to school together? I remember you. This and that class that and that teacher." 

    Then if it comes up she is deaf you should tell he she is a limping Gazelle. 

    @SFRL I don't think you understand the problem. I know what I can say to her. The problem is that I am insecure about the way of approach. She is in a higher grade than me. What does that mean you ask? She has a very different schedule than mine. Her breaks are different. We don't even walk through the halls of school for most of the time, because even her classes start and end different from mine. How am I supposed to approach someone who I barely can talk to during schooltime?

    My friend from even another grade higher, suggested that I should try finding any social media accounts and contact her from there. I am still struggling with finding any. Alternative solutions are needed and certainly welcome.

    @SFRL I am gonna need to stop you right there and tell you that I haven't even been able to talk to her in the first place. My guy, I understand your enthousiasm. But we are kids. I may be able to do what you are suggesting, if I am really close to a relationship with her.
    About that deaf situation. I didn't want to make her a victim, I wanted to apply to her in our first conversation that I knew who she was. By remembering that one ear is deaf.

    For someone who's first language isn't English, your grammar and communication is really good. You're going to do fine. 

    I knew you were 14 because you remind me so much of myself around that age, even posting on forums. This is a crazy time for you... by 16 you'll start to think of yourself as an adult. I started smoking weed and taking psychedelics at 16 and 17. Those experiences played a big part in making me who I am but also robbed me of much balance in my early 20s. 

    I thought my life was going to be an easy fairy-tail (magic stories they tell them kids) when I started taking psychedelics and getting into spirituality and self development. You feel like you've been chosen and given a golden ticket to an easy and incredible life. It's true, in a way, but the use of drugs made those times very chaotic (crazy), and it took years of deep struggle and inner work to find balance. 

    I discovered many years later that I was using that stuff to run away from myself and my unhappiness. When I realised that, I started to see how lost people get with psychedelics. The ones who use it too often stray (stray: to move away from) further and further from themselves while at the same time being convinced they are making progress  because they're blinded by shiny 'truths'

    True growth doesn't look fancy. It is about quiet self love, peace, ability to help others, being able to feel happy just sitting by yourself and making a cup of tea. 

    Look up the word 'glamour' and try to understand it. When a thing appears glamourous, it looks fantastic and appealing in the surface, but it's true reality (substance) is weak, it robs you of your humanness. Beware glamour. Follow simplicity. It will lead you to the ultimate happiness.

    They turn psychedelics into another religion and get dogmatic about it. Beware the wolf in sheep's clothing. If you suggest that psychedelics may not be optimal (the best) for spiritual growth, their teeth and claws come out.

    Real spiritual work isn't glamourous, it looks mundane (simple/boring) and it doesn't look as appealing as the glamour of psychedelics. They can distract you all the way into infinity. You can make 100x more progress by simply making a commitment to forgive yourself and others for errors.

    Do you have any computer/tech related hobbies? At your age I was playing around with animation, web design and Photoshop. Playing with that stuff paid off in a HUGE way because creative tech is effortless for me now. In this online entrapaneur era, it pays to find out what excites you and learn how to build things. 

    'Integrity' means to be whole or complete, but people use it in a slightly different way. 

    When someone says one thing and does another, they are broken up, they do not have integrity.

    Integrity means being true to yourself. It means doing the right thing and being honest. It means taking the more difficult or less appealing path because you care more about truth and peace than about short-term pleasure.

    @Arman Wauw thanks for the story, I in fact thought that I had a golden ticket by being early. After reading the posts on this topic I don't think it in that way anymore.
    ''You can make 100x more progress by simply making a commitment to forgive yourself and other for errors'' but that is exactly what I am doing! That's why I wondered about psychedelics. So many things which people need to do, I already have done. I learnt from Islam, religion I am raised up with (and technically still being raised up with, besides that I am trying to leave it), that forgiveness = key. 
    Yes I am familiar with Photoshop, but not animating or web design. Rather than that I am good with Premiere Pro. Video editing in general is something which I am good at. Every school project where we have to make a video, I offer up free time to edit in exchange of my team deciding what the context of the video will be/acting in it. 
    Again this is what I mean. I have integrity, if we are looking it from your definition. Same with so many other things I have read in only my first 2 self-help books. One was specifically for teens, where I had almost 3 quarters already mastered. Second one is the populair ''Th Six Pillars of Self-Esteem''. I haven't read the whole book yet (still reading it), but so many things I can already relate to.

    @aurum Have done that with one guy who is new in my class. He is basically friended with the cutest girl of my grade. I don't want to start a serious relationship. But Leo said in his ''Advice For High School & College Students - The Keys To Mastering Life'' that a student should at least have 5 girlfriends during his study time. He/she has to know what kind of girls/boys are out there. Since I got out of stage Blue I decided that I wanted to try that.

    I get that you're bored, but there's better and more efficient stuff for you right now to focus on. psychedelics will traumatize you even if you choose not to believe me.

    @Viking I am glad you at least understand my perspective. It won't be hard for me to believe that psychedelics will traumatize me. It makes sense. In the end, I am still growing.

    @AlwaysBeNice I take my words back. I don't have a clue what is going on right now. Oh what was is with Stage Yellow? Research everything right? I may need to read some books to decide my opinion about this.

    The kid is like 14 and complaining that he doesn't understand the words in self help books because they're 'made for adults'

    5meo will FUCK HIM UP

    its called context bro

    To OP: no drugs for you. stay in school kiddo. find a creative outlet you enjoy. you will get WAY more gains out of making a hobby out of self-development than trying psychedelics right now. You're lucky to be a part of this world of self improvement at your age. Read those books anway, take it slow and look up the words in Google. Take satisfaction in trying to understand things that are initially confusing or frustrating and you'll go far. If you want to enter the world of spirituality, try the book 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle. The audiobook is usually available on YouTube. Even if you don't understand it, listen anyway. If you really start to understand it, it'll mess you up just as much as psychedelics, but in a gentler way ;)

    @Arman First person who got my age right, so I will pretend you weren't harsh on me.
    Thanks for the advice on the audiobook. Of course you may understand ''context'', it is harder for someone who's first language isn't English. Some words I understand after reading 5 times the same sentence, others look just stupid. I still don't understand ''integrity'' for example.

    Want a glimpse of DMT in a more natural way? 

    Haritaki+Melatonin+Breathing Meditation.

    Haritaki boosts 3x the oxygen in the blood, Melatonin coverts to DMT in a high oxygen environment (same as REM sleep and rapid breathing at night). 

    @Hellspeed You mind explaining Haritaki and Melatonin? I am still new to all of this.

    From the way you write it does not sound like you are mature enough to handle it.

    Focus on yoga, meditation, self-inquiry, shamanic breathing, etc. And read a lot about nonduality.

    Psychedelics are no joke. They will rip your reality apart.

    @Leo Gura I don't think I am mature at all. I was just curious people would recommend it. 
    Don't know what shamanic breathing, self-inquiry and non-duality are. I may need to watch your video's for those. Thanks btw, for the content.

    f you are planning to do weed,then try some edibles. They can give you psychedelics like experiences.

    @Good-boy I am not trying to do any drugs. I just want to keep my body healthy and wondered if people would advice things lik 5MEO for kids. No weed for me. A guy in my class smokes and the smell alone makes me wanna puke. No thanks, ''body is priority'' is what Leo said in his body-awareness video... I think.

    and as far as I know there is no study done that says weed causes cancer.

    Wait until you are 21 at least and out of puberty, do the non psychedelic practices for now. Then work your way up through psychedelics. I have no experience with 5MEO but thats what I would do.

    @MM1988 Sounds good. Thanks for the advice.

    Actually, it has been proven now for years that weed can help cure certain kinds of cancer and a lot of other illnesses including regular pain. It's not unhealthy at all. Big misconception.

    @Azrael You mind if I pass? As far as I have been told, weed can screw up the teen's brain.

    Do not. You will be traumatized.

    5-MeO-DMT is one of, if not the strongest psychedelic substance in the world. It produces 100% ego death. Which means that it feels like dying.

    Your brain is still growing, and psychedelics can alter its development. Mature first. Get more in touch with the theory of spirituality. Wait until you're in your twenties before trying psychedelics. Start with common ones and only consider 5-MeO-DMT after you're experienced in & comfortable with being in an altered state of consciousness.

    If you rush any of this, it will bitterly regret it.

    Wait till your twenties. Got it.

    No just start with meditation, and if you have some discipline in your life regarding that, you might not desire anything more due to it's results, hopefully.

    And what do you mean 'I know weed is unhealthy', you don't, so this kind of assumptive attitude is the opposite of what is helpful in this field.

    - I tripped too hard when I was a teen, 2nd or 3rd trip or so, I was already not in a great place, but I became dysfunctional and depressed for 1-2 years after. Now I don't look back on it as a negative, it forced me to take spirituality seriously, but I don't recommend it at age at all, there's already so much to discover: finding your place in the world, finding what you like as a job or study, relationships with parents/friends/partner.

    In fact most teens I think are just quite overloaded by that, that again all they need is some meditation.

    - I can highly recommend practicing dream awareness though, these are already quite psychedelic every night (sometimes, deeply psychedelic), yet most people are too unconscious to even have a slight recollection or a vivid awareness of them during.

    They can help with purpose, guidance, healing, contact with deceased and most importantly spiritual awakening. And they are just fucking awesome.

    @AlwaysBeNice Wauw thanks for the advice. 

    Do you mean with dream awareness, things like lucid dreaming? I already have experience with that, just not in a very deep way. I heard there are people who have practiced lucid dreaming so much, that if they want, they can just go with the flow during the day and lucid dream in noon.

    Hello everyone. I will start by saying that I always admired spirituality, just a month ago I started meditating and I wondered: Should I try psychedelics? I am a teen, so I need some insights first of course. All I know is that 5-MeO-DMT is good. I asked the typical drug dealer if he has LSD or paddo's, but negative. There might be some LSD in the business, but paddo's are 100% negative. My friend suggested that I should start smoking weed first if I want to get into heavy drugs, but I don't want cancer so that's a no (I don't know if weed causes cancer but I know that it is unhealthy). Would you guys advice me trying 5-MeO-DMT if I am really interested? And does anyone know other good alternatives, or in general good drugs for spirituality?

    As I said, I am very young. I don't know much about non-duality or things like that. In fact, I still don't understand the definiton of non-duality. Same with enlightenment, spirituality as a whole etc. I know that if I want to go deeper I should read books about it, but right now I am reading the typical basic self-help books for beginners/teens. Books like ''Mastery'' and ''The Six-Pillars of Self-Esteem'' where I don't understand most of the words because they are made for adults.

    Hello there everyone. Lets start off by saying that I am very young. Just got out of stage Blue I think and am ready. There is a girl in a higher grade than me. I think I know her from way back, when I was around 8 years old and did judo. I remember that she was hearing impaired on one ear. I know I can start a conversation about all of this if I confront her correctly. But that is the thing, how am I supposed to approach someone who is from a higher grade than me? My school schedule is different than hers, so we can't talk during the breaks. I gave up on girls in my own grade because all of the sudden all my crushes date someone. I lost interest in them because it got boring to watch from the side. They somehow also got less attractive, but I guess that is my eyes opening. 

    Since I started my journey here, I already bought some self-help books. If you guys know any good dating books for young teens, don't be afraid to leave recommendations :)

    Where on earth did you get these ideas? Masturbation is common in the animal world and humans have been masturbating for thousands of years.

    @Serotoninluv that is exactly what I thought. When I first started thinking about if masturbating was oke, I thought about how everyone has done it. Humans in the past have obviously done it right. At some point their dick got erected and they discovered a thing called orgasm right? It's these thought that made me accept masturbation.

    I would recommend contemplating what you consider "problems"

    @Serotoninluv Sometimes he gets randomly angry, sad or whatever. The amount of suffer me and my parents go through when we don't understand him at all and we see him beating his self up. Yes that is one of the problems. When he gets angry he hits his own head, or hits others. He almost got kicked out of his school because he slapped the teacher twice.

    He hasn't been programmed with what everything "means". He doesn't have a complex story about who he is and how everything in life *should* be. He doesn't have to spend years trying to deconstruct all the stories and beliefs we have been programmed with. It sounds like he simply experiences and expresses joy in the present moment. On the other hand, he might not be aware that he is enlightened.

    This is very true and I think this is his case. I got raised up as shia/sunni muslim, since watching Leo I have started dropping these beliefs. Looking at him, he doesn't even know what prayers are. Let alone reading the Quran. He does, in fact, simply experience and express joy in the present moment. 

     

    On 9-10-2018 at 7:24 PM, Hellspeed said:

    Yet, I would encourage you to also let go of your perspective and try to enter *his* world.  Try to see things from his perceptive, try to experience his world with him. From your brother's perspective, what is important to him? What does he value? What does he want? What does he consider his problems? What is he trying to communicate he wants help for?

    You may find you and your brother become great teachers to each other, each with your own perspective. For example, humans rely heavily on language and we have low nonlanguage social and emotional intelligence (compared to language intelligence). Language is limited. Your brother's nonlanguage communication mode is normal relative to him. It's people around him that may think and tell him it's abnormal. By entering his nonlanguage world, you may develop your empathetic and intuitive modes of communication. As well, the two of you may be able to create new forms of nonlanguage communication that lead to deeper levels of human connection and love.

     The amount of times my mother wondered how his mindset would look like may finally get some answers. There are somethings I know, but trying to get into his perspective never accured to me before. I have only tried this with people without autism to get out of, stage Blue I think? Or is living in your own paradigm an Orange thing? I don't know, but I will try it. 
    The teacher part sounds exciting.

    You don't need to change people, change yourself, change your world.

    I think you would understand the love I feel for my brother. After joining this forum and starting changing my habits, I wondered if he could maybe one have a day less autistic than now. Maybe I can talk with my brother one day. You know how much my parents have wanted that when he was born? I may not need to change him, but if there is a way I will try. Of course I will start with myself first.
