Thanks, its more clear now.

Thanks for the honest example and explanation. But I still don't understand when the part of accepting myself as I am comes... Maybe I just should accept that I am not good enough? (not smart enough) Can you see what I mean?

Hi everyone, I study a NLP Therapist course, and at the last lesson we studied about “speaking with the part” - which means speaking with the part that -stops you/You don’t want/Bad habit/ etc.. The idea behind this technique is that behind every behavior there is a positive intention. So I took this tool and integrated it into trying understand what the Truth is. The part I decided to talk with was my suffering. I asked it: why are you here!? Why are you really here? (I was really disappointed, hurt, suffered). It didn’t answered. I asked in a different way: What am I gaining from you? Boom. It said: your life. I was shocked and afraid. In that moment, I understood that if I want my suffering to leave, I need to die. It was so painful to understand that. I understood that moment what Leo is always speaks about and now it got so real, this fear of death was powerful and paralyzing. I couldn’t handle that it was too terrifying. I think that only after doing the work for real you start to get why it so hard and so radical. I would like to hear your opinions about it and your states of fear of death.

I believe that the main problem of the Israeli left is blaming Netanyahu for destroying the country, and not taking any responsibility. So many Israelis are so focused on him, and no one is really looking for a real deep solution for both sides. Leo, it is very much like you said in your conciseness politics mini-series. Each side (Israeli right and left) is self-biased and no one goes within to find whats really needs to be done. The Israeli left is so stuck on a victim position, it might be the reason the country is so stuck in deeply-blue orange state. But at the same time, the country is only 70 years old and most of the right wingers came to here in the 50s from eastern states while they were really into red-blue position - So I believe we’re really progressing into more and more green. By the way, do you believe it is yourself taking to yourself right now? Its so radical. Really hard to swallow. But I’m still trying to be open to that.

Hello everybody, I’m new here at actualized.org. I am really sorry for my English, I’m trying to do my best. I live in Israel, and I am an artist- songwriter and a guitar player. After reading a lot about self-actualization, seeing many of Leo’s videos, practicing meditation, eating healthy food and actually, just moving myself into self-actualization - I am standing in front of a problem. According to the Israeli law, every teenager that has grown to 18 years old, has to be drafted to the IDF (Israeli army) and to serve the Israeli army for 3 years. This is putting me in front of a problem- First, the whole Israeli army is very very blue and orange (Spiral Dynamics), and I really want to belive that I am somewhere at green and yellow. So, it is really hard to me to take a part in a deep blue system, as the IDF, that works by hierarchy and prestiges. So, I dont know if it is right to “serve” that kind of system as a green or yellow person. I believe it doesn’t allow me to grow spiritually and makes me stuck. Second, I have another option, which's to go against the system of the army and the law and find a way out and become free from those 3 years and continue my journey of self actualization. But, it will cost a lot of lies, pain, and tons of mental power and in the and of that, to the rest of my life I will be considered as a betrayer that should not live in Israel. I want to clarify that serving the IDF will stop me from continuing any kind of practicing MINDFULNESS, FITNESS AND SPORTS, PRACTICING THE GUITAR (My dream) AND EATING HEALTHY FOOD. Actually, my question is - Should I take the risk, and to sacrifice a lot: My career and a full stop of self actualization for 3 years(!) -become a soldier or should I become a “traitor” that slipped away from serving the IDF. Any idea? I am desperate .
