  1. is it possible to be being whilst reading?
  2. @Mal Interesting. I am familiar with spiral dynamics but nice to see how Altruism can be applied to it. Out of curiosity what are your actions that would take yourself from orange through to green through to yellow. How would/did you transcend these stages and what was the most effective for you. If you choose to model your psyche in this manner. This is quite a broad question but I am a beginner in Personal Development and interested on your journey. Also, I think that Leo should make a video on Skepticism, I see people taking a lot of his principles on blind faith on the forum.
  3. I wasn't planing of asking that. I am very grateful that you are here. Your advice is helpful for people on the forum. I think Leo's videos can easily fool you into make enlightenment a goal, and your contribution puts things back into perspective.
  4. I think this would be a good topic for him to make because it will make people aware of how they are deceiving themselves from an egoic perspective. The average person who abides to the principle of Altruism does it to make him/her self feel like they have done good. It would be a good video to expose an aspect of how people lie to themselves and others. I have been doing this quite a lot in my life.
  5. @charlie2dogs What are your views on the videos Leo has posted on Enlightenment?
  6. @Oneness What is the emotionally difficult thing to do here? Ask yourself that when faced with decisions. For me with my decisions to move to Japan that would be the emotionally challenging thing for me, it scares me a lot, but for myself I can see the results it will produce in my life that I want as it aligns with my values.
  7. @Leo Gura how different would you life be if you discovered the concept of enlightenment at college? (or earlier)
  8. .
  9. do you meditate cross legged for that long? Bro your diary is a great source of inspiration!!
  10. language is a mischievous creature. The when tent bemuses paper a treetop if get me you.
  11. really? like the fisherman on deadliest catch?
  12. Forget about enlightenment. Focus on mastering yourself and enquiring about the nature of self. Raise your awareness.
  13. That's my plan: to heavily master myself. After I finish university I plan to do a 3 year residency at a zen monastery in Japan called Antaiji. But you would need a job or something to sustain the costs of investing in yourself. Have you managed to find work?
  14. But I see it as the more older and wiser you get the more fun you would be having in the present moment even during the "mundane" experiences. For me, I finish my bachelors next year. I am planning to do a long term residency at Antaiji. Then when I come back to the west I want to teach what I have learned to people.
  15. Cool!! Thats similar to me at the moment. I don't resist my societal addictions/responsibilities at the moment because they are too fun, and when I do it is like I am repressing my ego but I am cutting all that stuff down slowly and focusing more on internal work. However when I do, I acknowledge the fact that the activities are low consciousness and am becoming more aware of how society has affected me up until now. During my exam period I was very monastic. I am planning to stay at Antaiji next August after I finish university. Would be cool if we go at the same time!! When are you planning to stay? (if you are)
  16. @Arik on a scale of 1 to 10, how monastic/aesthetic is your lifestyle at the moment? (10 being a monk completely)
  17. As in the title
  18. this video really hit home for me. At the start my work was all over the places, erratic, and intermittent. Start a daily plan most valid your goals. Watch this video. As with all of Leo's videos it really helps Thanks @Leo Gura for your amazing work. It is changing my life. I would love to bump into you in person just so i can give you the BIGGEST HUG and shed some tears
  19. @Leo Gura Out of context of this topic but are you in the midst of creating a new course??
  20. start clipping the toenails of your fingers... Weird stuff
  21. i would read the book. Its short but jam packed full of wisdom!!
  22. also @abrakamowse if you seem like you are not growing apply George Leonord's Mastery theorem. You are probably on plateau, learn to love it. http://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/4176-mastery-of-meditation/
  23. @abrakamowse sums us up
  24. Does anyone have the urges to pig the fuck out after an hour or so of meditation on unhealthy food. It happens to me quite a lot recently. I used to love pigging out when I was a kid and these urges have started again, i dont resist them just acknowledging my chimp side is hungaarrry
  25. this changed the game
