@Consilience God speaks to us through feelings that's right. But he's probably just pointing out it can help you in general and in life to be a good thinker, like the stoics were.

When i did it it was kinda half-assed effort by just watching some Youtube videos, i wanted to start right away. And it was more powerful than i could've foreseen. Next time i'll try it i will buy the books on the book list and do it properly. It probably works cuz it takes some effort, it's not easy to do properly.

@RevoCulture

Awesome! Thanks

@Aaron p The power of thought is an art in of it self. Neglected by many spiritual folk.

@Farnaby The power of habit is what you need if you want some practical advice and action on this. But what Leo is pointing to is definitely the highest truth rather than a scientific implementation.

To express Love...and maybe get some back.

@Aaron p Yeah, i literally just read a chapter on that in Six Pillars Of Self-Esteem where he went on about exactly that.

@Consilience Thank you! Do you feel contemplation is what contributed somewhat most to your growth? (Besides psychedelics)

@Chilli That's awesome! I'm also debating on weather to start using a journal or not. ??? @Arzola Yeah I was more so just interested in how others go about doing it. I contemplate on psychedelics quite often so I'm all good. Although i should do it more often in the "sober" state. I mostly meditate to elevate my consciousness. Yeah, agree on that.

@Joscha You have to tell your self that its a long journey. So take your time with each practice and really dig into it. And then move on of it doesn't work. Psychedelics definitely might help you grab onto a technique faster. Kriya Yoga is most likely on of the most powerful methods you could choose.

@Neph Give Six Pillars Of Self-Esteem a read, there a lot of exercises in it that might help.

@electroBeam Sounds like someone needs a certain set of ego death

@Zigzag Idiot Awesome! Am really exited to give his books a shot to see if I resonate with him. Seems like a wise systematic thinker.

This is the best description on shadows I've heard so far. Here he speaks of how shadows can stall your consciousness growth from elevating into integral tire 2 and 3. You need to collect the debt of the shadows to regain your consciousness points, to break through into higher stages. Please feel free to share some good Wilber videos below if you know of some.

@Zigzag Idiot Have you read any of his books ?

Leotl - Teotl

@kieranperez One of the most amazing videos I've ever seen! The ending was incredible. Thanks for sharing

You speak as if you know I don't think for myself I contemplate plenty, I just wanted to hear Leo's response on this extreme claim that drinking "makes you have no will to live". Because that's a little harsh if you ask me, yet 95% of the content in the book I've verified in my own experience as true. So maybe there is some truth to this claim. As he also said "the body was never meant to intake alcohol". Agreed. The term drug gets thrown around too nonchalantly. Like it only applies to heroin and meth. When in fact they do drugs every morning without realizing it.

@Neph Would you try everything to fix it is the question.

@Charlotte Thanks! Will give some of these a try. I drink cacao daily, definitely enhances my mood.

@Cocolove great, i just ordered 3 of them yesterday. lol

Welcome to actualized.org ?

@Harikrishnan Awesome! I just ordered his book The religion of tomorrow, can't wait to read it.

After a few trips, you'll likely drop this need of having to become a master of psychedelics. One trip at a time.
