"Be different". As easy as this statement may sound, the more harder it is to embody it in a society where the notion of being different is frowned upon. Telling you a story that happened a few hours before. I am pretty sure everyone who will ready this, will relate to it in some way. In my university break, we classmates usually sit together and eat while discussing and communicating about trivial things. One of my friends in my university is organising a gaming event, so for that reason he asked me if I enrolled in the event or not. I immediately replied, No. He then asked my if I play games. I replied, "No, I do not play games. It is a waste of time". The statement was nearly finished when everyone was looked at me at dismay. He then went like, "Oh, then how about you using Facebook or watching random Youtube videos.". I remained silent, I was like let him say whatever. He then said, "I played guitar for 5 hours per day". I was like, "Dafuqqqqqq! Waste of time". Everyone on that group disagreed with me, while my intention was not like how they interpreted me. Everything that is not causing you to grow in one way or another is a big, giant waste of time, or is not benefiting you in your life purpose. I mean, I can not just sit and play games for 3 or 4 hours. Or sit on my ass watch Netflix. I CANT. I rarely watch movies. I sometimes feel like It may be because of my neurosis or maybe I am a modern freaking sage. Your replies would be much appreciated.

@wk197 Oh damn man. How can you even notice that? lol. You just explained me in a nutshell. Goddammit.

@Gili Trawangan Damn, thank you! He even told me, that I have to add the phrase "In my opinion". He seriously felt bad. But I always am straight forward like that, which makes me in trouble all the time. I should be ignoring and sweeping things under the rug when it comes to human interaction. Applying filter to what I utter to me, is the hardest.

Why are most of the spiritual and enlightened people so sexual? Is it the drive of their sexuality that makes them spiritual and enlightened?

This is like one of the topics I would really want Leo to explain us the essence of Lust since it has been described so vaguely by this pop culture. Lust has been a very close partner of every human being. It can be described in many ways and has many facets to it. It has been the origin of many of the problems human kind face. If he can make vid about Lust, how it can lead someone to devilry, self deception or craziness and etc.

To start off, as all the actualizers here, have one deep core problem in common which will not be solved unless addressed completely. I have been watching Leo's work for almost 08 months now, but still, I always screw up and slack off a lot during actualization. How? Let me explain. I know meditation is essential, contemplation is, journaling is, this is important and that is important. I know that all. But... but why am I and you all still suck? I never remained balanced in my life, sometimes I am on the one side of the pendulum and sometimes on the other. Sometimes become buddha, sometimes push the boundaries and become neurotic fu*k. Why? Because of society and its norms. I know, I have to take full responsibility for my life, but still, understand these: How can I actualize when I have sheep-like friends? I can only actualize or have friends, can not do both at the same time. How can I actualize when my family is manipulative? It does not leave me to do whatever I want. How can I actualize when I have all these distractions? I think the environment plays a very crucial role. Put Leo in my shoes, he will become the same guy. My question, how can all these things Leo tells us to do can be applied in the society we live in? Society is my problem, to make it short. I just do no what to do, and how to solve all these problems me and you have. It feels like I am still living in the matrix, do not know how to crack it. Do you all feel the same way? If no, then please let me know if I am just being a pu**y.

Generation Vagina! This new generation has become more neouratic, dependent, needy which always whine bitch and moan and complain about anything and everything that come their way. Reffering them as chimps would be a better term to demonstrate who they are. I think, we can not move on to deep self- actualizing topics without addressing the problems we face in our day to day lives.

Today I was surfing on the internet just to find some new philosophical higher consciousness resources, but by serendipity I landed on this guy's YouTube channel named Stefan Molyneux and his YouTube channel is with the same name. I watched his recently uploaded video about the movie The Joker, to tell you the truth, full of deep good insights. But I am not sure what you guys may think about him. Let me know, what you guys know about him, his views and his way of thinking. YouTube Channel link: https://www.youtube.com/user/stefbot

I have always been worried about this marrige issue, because I belong to a culture where we should get married below 27-30, so even If I get married, is it possible for me to continue the journey? Another question for Leo: Leo, have you thought about moving things out a bit, like you thinking about getting married and stuff? (Forgive me, if that is inappropriate to ask).

Leo in his latest video about his "Many Facets of Awakenings" kinda explained the soul/atman. He talked about how this is the true self. If he can make a video solely about this would be good insights.

@Angelite Seems like tafsir of Quran. Whats this book's name?

I actually half read this book about Emotions and that beautiful concept of "Trapped Emotions". It helped me a lot understand my own trapped emotions. Will recommend it to anyone for enhancing EQ.

Leo, can you please explain a little further? I sometimes win girls that is not an issue for me. I can approach women, but my main problem is that I always screw it after the hook up point. I do not know what could be the main problem there?

The more you get into spirituality and the more you get enlightened, the more you will find people mundane, boring and unattractive. Now as you say it, you already are faced with this issue in your life. It is good you already tackle this issue as soon as possible, because this will happen all the time. Sexual attraction? Oh my, it is completely normal as everyone on here said as well, but if your sexual attraction to your guy is lower than consider it a problem. "Your mission should not be to find some Buddha to bang/marry" - Leo

Mindsets, perceptions, perspectives differ people to people. People see reality as how are indoctrinated with certain types of beliefs and teachings. If there is a glass with little amount of water in it, I would call it half-empty and someone will come and say, hey, this is half-full. Different perspectives, different distortions of reality. The way to look at things is to get rid of all the different distortions created by different people and that is how you will get the juice out of everything.

@Elham Good for you! Wish me luck so I could find my Rabia Balkhi here.

@Identity Pu**y would have been so inappropriate for the title.

As chess is the best strategical game mankind has ever created, if you could shoot a video or videos about life seen from the lens of a chess game; the best moves we make, the blunders and the chances we miss with one simple decision. This will also resonate with your video you shot "How to Be A Strategic Motherfucker" too. For example: If you could also shoot separate videos on, The Pawn mindset, The King Mindset, The Queen Mindset, The Knight Mindset ... etc, with its all drawbacks and strengths with the spiral dynamics explanation too. My humble request/opinion.
