Your art is beautiful

Don't talk about enlightenment (or spirituality in general) to people who aren't familiar with it. It's useless, the only thing you accomplish is that you sound like a mentally retarded hippie to these people. Your inner change will eventually affect your actions... trust me people will start to notice, they'll see how you are becomming more selfless, calm, and loving. After a while people come to you and even ask how you do it, this is still not the right time to talk about enlightenment. You might talk about small techniques or insights you know at this point. There is really no use in talking about the truth with someone who isn't looking for it, you're helping no one. I know the struggles, no need to alienate from the people close to you. Make them your subjects of excercise: love them more and more and more each day without judgement!

Great thread! Thanks for all the great suggestions .

I started balding when I was 20 years old, I used to have a huge bunch of curly hair. I know what you're going through . Just shave it all off, I keep the length at around 2-3 mm and grow a bit of a short beard or something. There is more attention on the face, work out a bit and man.. it makes you look super sexy. Girls don't mind guys who are balding, if that's something you're worried about. However women will mind when you are trying to hide your baldness (hair tattoo... holy fuck, if you want to stay alone for ever then that's the solution haha). Wear your baldness with pride! Girls often dig it, makes you look wise (like Leo!) . edit: Oh and don't forget you can just trim your hair yourself, you'll save a lot on getting haircuts. The first time go to a hairdresser and ask for a bit of advice. You might not want to go all shiny bald at once. It feels great, you'll become like an airbender .

Thank you for sharing, this was very insightful .

Great videos, thank you

Ayla, thank you for the updates and the beautiful video. Very inspiring. I realize that I need to be more grateful when I read your posts . Keep us updated!

This topic has been such a mind twister for me ever since Leo's enlightenment video. Thought about it a lot and got some insights, but a Leo video would definitely help a lot!
