    Yes, is possible. Learn Tantra and guide his inner core. 

    All I could find about Tantra is that people compare it with sex and that it is 5000 years old. I am sorry but I won't do sexual stuff with my brother.

    If he is happy all the time for no reason, he may be closer to enlightenment than most of the people in this forum.

    Remember, enlightenment is not about what you gain, it is about what you lose. He may have less mental constructs of self vs other than what most "normal" people have. 

    I can understand this. He is almost always happy, doesn't care much about anything besides whatever he finds fun.

    If you are brothers you already bound in a very deep vibration. So, if you awaken, then you can influence his inner self to do the same and learn about his own being. In the process, he will wake up from the condition of Autism. 

    But it takes courage to go deep in the unknown, drama, maybe pain, etc.

    Do you mean with going deep in the unknown, going deep within him or within me? And how am I supposed to influence his inner self to do the same? As I said, he doesn't understand everything very well. If I have a hard time understanding it, how am I supposed to influence his inner self?

    Hello everyone. Today I wanted to ask somethings not about me, but my brother. He has classic autism and mental retardation which makes him unable to talk with us. He is always happy for no reason, which makes me happy. He of course behaves differently than people without is autism and mental retardation. Since I got in touch with self-actualization, reading self-help books and so on. I wondered somethings and maybe someone can give me answers.

    As I said my brother has autism and mental retardation. Is there any chance he can reach enlightenment? When I look at him, I don't even think he cares sometimes. I mean I can hate him or love him, it won't matter to him. All he wants to do is go on with his daily routine. How can he reach enlightenment at all? He isn't filled with dogma, at least that's what I think. 

    Can Truth with the capital T solve maybe some problems for him? When Leo talked about it in his video, he said that sometimes it can cure what was once incurable. I want to try it myself first, for private reasons. And maybe let him try later. But if I have to do so much research first, how is he gonna do it?

    Hello everyone. I wanted to ask a question for those who are all in for NoFap. I am very young and wonder if anyone would advise me to really get into it. Whenever I read about masturbating regurlarly, all I could see were people who said it was natural. Because I am young I am full of hormones and I can't surpress it. I tried quitting, kept getting back on it after a few weeks.

    Let me introduce myself by saying that I am young, muslim and raised up with the typical things we all heard of. Praying 5 times a day, participating in Ramadan, believing in the one and true last prophet Muhammed (s.a.w) etc. Since I have seen the Spiral Dynamics series, I really admire Yellow and Turquoise. I want to go there, but am facing a few problems.

    I started meditating I think a month ago. Since I've seen the series, I don't see a reason to do prayers. Meditating is so much more, relaxing. The typical teen problems don't seem to have value when I meditate. I can let go. Does anyone advice me to stop prayers? I wanted to do it, but thought that maybe I should quit whenever I can meditate for 1 hour at least. Until then just prayers, but prayers seem so unnecessary. Leo said that the reason Islam actually wants muslims to pray 5 times a day, is because why not enlighten 5 times a day? But I haven't even experienced enlightenment at all. I tried mindfulness while praying, but moving constantly gets frustrating. 

    When I read some statements from Quran/hadith, I saw something about calling your fellow muslims brothers/sisters. I still have the problem that I want to call everyone my brother and sister. Not just muslims. I don't see why I should call only a muslim my brother when every male in this world can be my brother. This problem made me think again about completely leaving Islam and focussing more on self-help books and meditation. Should I just do it? Do I need to, if I want to succeed with self-help, psychedelics etc?

    Just in case I need to, or people advice it. How am I supposed to tell my parents? My mom is sunni and my dad is shia. I wouldn't mind keeping it down until I am old enough to be independent.

    @martin_malin I haven't read Mastery yet. I wanted to read Six-Pillars of Self-Esteem first, but thanks for the compliment.

    How I found actualized.org is a nice story I think. I started having interests in meditation. Looking up documentaries about it on Netflix I discovered ''The Secret''. Turned out to be just the Law of Attraction but yeah sure call it The Secret. When I searched for ''Law of Attraction'' on YouTube, I discovered Leo's video. After watching it, I saw that he made a video about going full Buddha. I noticed that his channel isn't your typical BS self-improvement channel. I am muslim and so watched his ''What Is Misunderstood About Islam'' video. I loved how everyone all of the sudden hated him, because he made a video about a religion. The fact that he wasn't effected by it at all inspired me. 

    Now I am starting to read books, self-help books  and want to go beyond + go deeper in psychedelics. Since I heard him talk about the Truth, I can't stop wondering how enlightenment must feel like. Daily typical teen things don't bother me anymore. I want enlightenment. I always knew that these teen things would never satisfy me. I knew pornography and that kind of stuff was temporarily. The real deal is Truth. I heard stories about kids in my age who had already fucked, but somehow didn't seem happy at all. This explains it correctly. 

    Anyways, I always looked up to spirituality and always felt that connection. Never though it would occur in my life again.

    Hello everyone. Today I wanted to talk about books. I just started reading books, self-help books. Do you guys recommend any specific books I should really read? Are there any books you wished you would've read if you were my age (under 16)? I already ordered the following books:
    ''Mastery'' by George Leonard
    ''The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem'' by Nathaniel Branden
    ''The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens'' by Sean Covey   (currently reading)
     

    I won't put my entire booklist here, because it would just be too much. Any self-help books, biographies, religion and spirituality books are welcome.

    Hello everyone. Today I wanted to talk about my problem. Maybe one of you can help me out. I want to talk about 3 girls, we'll call them Mia, Charlotte and Emily.

    My first crush was Mia, which I still kind of have a crush now. Since I got out of Blue I started aiming more for Charlotte, but came more in touch with Emily. Mia is in a different class, so I don't have many reasons to talk with her in the first place. What am supposed to talk about with her, the different teachers we have? Charlotte and Emily however are both in my class.

    Many people in my class have noticed the tention between me and Emily. Although she wasn't part of the plan, I really like how she is. I also noticed the differences I have with Mia and the fact that Charlotte is being more distant. Mainly because I accidentally became more in touch with Emily. I think Charlotte was open for me, but now she falls back because she doesn't want to destroy her friend's (Emily's) chance with me. I don't know if I should just go for Emily, or break it and wait for an oppurtinity with Mia. 

    That's it for now. Take care everyone.

    Hello everyone. Today I wanted to talk about my religion. I was raised up as half sunni half shia. I just discovered the existence of sufism and saw a thread about ''coming out as non-religious''. Leo said something about that you should tell your parents that you are converting to sufism, which is supposed to be ironic. Because he said: ''You'll actually be more of a muslim than your parents will ever be''. I don't understand this entirely. I couldn't  find a good definition of sufism at all. Maybe it's just me, but the wiki page wasn't that clear. Can someone just explain to me what Leo meant with that?

    Leo also said that Muhammed meditated. Which stage was Muhammed in? I think you guys can understand that I look up to him, and seeing him not being in stage Blue made me instantly go to Orange (I was on the edge of Blue and this was a small push). Also where can I find proper information about this topic? I've put 1 book on my booklist about Mohammed, but I don't know if it will actually talk about on which spiritual level Mohammed was. Or just basic history which I have been told many times. 

    Oh and was Muhammed on the same stage as Jesus and Gautama Buddha? Just curious.

    I think it would be interesting if Leo covered this topic. Lucid dreaming has various forms and I firstly didn't know that it's also part of meditation. Or something in that direction at least. It would be helpful for me, and probably many others,  if Leo could go deeper into this topic.

    Hello everybody. Today I wanted talk about the so called ''Alignment test''. I only know about this for a short amount of time and since I discovered actualized.org, I wondered what you guys would think about this. I will link it down below, but before that let me give you a quick list of what it is. 

    This test is supposed to say what kind of human you are. You have the following categories:
    Lawful Good
    Neutral Good 
    Chaotic Good

    Lawful Neutral
    True Neutral
    Chaotic Neutral

    Lawful Evil
    Neutral Evil
    Chaotic Evil

    Each have there own very deep definition. I can't go into detail here, because there's is an entire website dedicated about this. I could never summarize the amount of information that that website has. It might be just for me, because I recently discovered this while watching a YT video. It seemed like the guys in the video knew about it like it is something very old. It is, however I never heard of it. So I think the chances are that this isn't anything news. 

    Anyways here is the link. Take care everyone

    http://easydamus.com/alignmenttest.html

    That link is for the test. You can find the explanation of each of the categories in the bar on the left.

    I wanted to make a thread where people can post quotes which inspire them personally. It's advised to give credit to the person/character who said the quote. I personally know only 1 quote, which is below. Feel free to post your own and maybe explain why it means so much to you :)

    Hello everyone. I am meditating for a month now I think. I have a problem though, the way I sit. Everytime I cross my legs I get a sleep foot. Then I am trying to get the right sitting for 30 min before I even start meditating. All I want to do is just sit normally for once and not get distracted by a foot who falls asleep for no reason. My left foot is always almost in the same position as my right, and he still falls asleep. I wonder how, considering that my right foot doesn't. I tried the lotus position and I can't even get into it. Like I am not agile enough. Do you guys know I practices I can try to be more agile? I always admired the lotus position, my body just can't get into it. 

    Anyway that's all for now. Take care everyone.

    @Serotoninluv Inspirational story. If I get older I want to get into meditation groups too. Some people told me I should go on something called ''Vipassana retreat''. I looked it up and I don't think I can go for it now, but maybe later in my life. Anyway I am about to watch the Green video. I can totally relate about ''somethings that appeal to me and some not''. Although it's mostly ''not''. Btw, do you recommend giving up daily prayers in exchange for focussing more on meditation and reading self-help books? Since I've seen the Blue video, I can't find a reason to do prayers. How did you stop? Or did you stop at all?

    @Serotoninluv I watched the video about Orange and I am half way through. I must say tho, I almost can't relate at all. Like genuinely I understand it when other people are like that, but I can't imagine me being like that. I haven't watched all of it, so maybe Leo will talk about the good sides too and maybe I can relate to that. Is there a chance I might be, for example, more Green and Blue than Blue and Orange? Is that possible?
