  1. Yes! That was super powerful. Basically saying that because the worm doesn't have the sight sense, it doesn't mean sight doesn't exist, and therefore just because human's don't have the spirit sense, it doesn't mean spirit doesn't exist. Great way of looking at it. As far as the worm is concerned there is no such thing as vision, just as many humans believe there is no such thing as spirit. Oh man, I can't thank you enough for this, seriously. I watched the ending again late last night and nearly cried. I felt like I really, really loved that little Indian girl. Like she was my daughter or something. @Pacific Sage
  2. @Pacific Sage I just finished the film. Blown away. One of the most powerful end scenes I've ever seen. Goes to show. A lot of the reviews complained it was too slow but for me it was super intense. Thanks for that. Literally buzzing now!
  3. At least Trump is candid about doing it. Putin would have just said "not us, we were never there".
  4. @Unjigorjigor Great post. Makes sense to me.
  5. Thanks for this. Have you heard of Harville Hendrix by any chance? Not sure how his work is perceived. It's just that about 10 years ago I read a book of his that really resonated with me when I was in a really bad jealous/possessive boyfriend role! I've lost the book. Can't even remember the title.
  6. Does anyone know what stage of spiral dynamics the general was on?
  7. I wonder if there is a club mix or drum and base version of Leo's video about how to make a girl squirt?
  8. Hey that trailer laterally just give me goose bumps. Looks awesome
  9. Haha nice one. It would be interesting to have a few more remixes that were divided into how much psychedelics had been taken at the time.
  10. Hi, Just wanted to say this applies to me as well. However I do have a very obsessive and addictive personality (haven't we all to a degree I guess?). Anyway, I'm clean and sober from alcohol and sleeping pills for 15 months and in that 15 months I have put on 2 stone of fat as I have been binge eating and often high carb content and sugar content. I don't have a great solution right now. It's a bit like insomnia advice, there are many suggestions but you got to find what works for you. For me right now I am intermittent fasting for about 18 to 20 hrs a day and then consuming about 1500 to 2000 calories in the other 4 to 6 hrs. I know this sounds a lot. I'm not counting calories right now but have done for years so i know roughly how many calories I am having. With the intermittent fasting it has given me great benefits on focus and a feel good factor around self discipline. @tsuki once wrote fasting is meditation for the stomach and that helps with my motivation. Problem I've had is fasting has just led to bigger binges lol and I've defeated the point of fasting to a degree! My usual success rate with the 18 to 20 hrs fast is really low. Less than 10% but I'm currently running at about 80% success over the past week and it feels good and only a couple of times have I over binged in the 4 to 6 hour window.
  11. Your post screams out that you need therapy. That's not an insult. It's closer to validation than an insult. You have some beliefs that are seriously limiting and unlikely to go away of their own accord. I've needed therapy on and off for years. Quick bit of preachy advice! Stay away from alcohol, cannabis, or any drug that's not sanctioned by a medic including psychedelics. Hopefully that is already the case for you.
  12. @Lento Putting beliefs and direct experience in the same sentence causes problems in my experience. EDIT removed the Lol shit list and karma reference as seems like a troll post otherwise Sorry! Just saying. Touchy subject.
  13. I agree on the victim mentality you allude to. That much yeh, people stuck there forever. Self imposed prison. Massive projection.I am still there to a degree but nothing like I used to be in terms of claiming I'm a victim. It's hard work to break the victim mentality but it can be done and needs to be done. I hear you on the people blaming other things for their own being stuck.
  14. And you think everything would be okay if only they meditate better? Actually your post is quite powerful. If you are in a lot of pain from being completely alone and you are wondering whether or not to seek out other people then you have answered the question yourself perhaps? Yeh it's a risk forming relationships. I most definitely hear you on that. But if nothing changes for you, then nothing changes.
  15. There is no spirituality without money? Without health? What about those that don't fit that criteria? They can't have spirituality? Spirituality is beyond their reach? I know money and health can open doors so to speak and create more options and opportunities but my idea of spirituality partially involves transcending this kind of thinking. Try without them and you will fail you say? Fail what?
  16. Is fapping in direct conflict with self-actualization? Nope. It's just as Leo says And If it takes over your life or causes problems then try to address the inner issue that causes the obsession if it becomes one. Work on why you are vulnerable to over doing it (if you do). Same thing with porn. Porn can be enjoyed or left alone.
  17. Well how about those who think Leo has a responsibility and/or is not deploying this responsibility, articulate what the responsible should look like? How should the responsibility manifest itself to the eyes or ears because we either read his content and/or watch it. This way we could take responsibility as an abstract idea and lay down how it would present itself on the front line. Basically what does Leo have to do for someone to think "yep, he has met his responsibility". Might even help Leo to see it in writing what people are thinking.
  18. One other thing that could be factored in here is that it's my experience that the mods do a pretty good job helping posters make sense of things. Especially if someone seems very lost and is struggling with Leo's concepts. That's what I've seen anyway. It's not like people are just ignored when they are struggling. There is also peer support available here. I see that happening a lot. Also, you can't even really argue the mods are just parroting Leo or are blindly loyal to him. Anna for example is upfront that she doesn't watch much of his content. I might be way off track here but my money is on most users here have either had great suffering before or are currently suffering now. Sometimes it can feel you are the only one not getting it or that everyone else is doing well but that's not unnecessarily the case. With Leo and his talking in absolutes as if it's all established fact, that does piss me off but I choose to simply not believe most of his assertions but I treat some of his self help stuff like gold because that's what I am working on. Do you think if Leo was in Walmart and two people walked in with AK47s and started killing everyone he is going to be all relaxed about it and just accept that he is God and he created everything and that there is a big illusion going on? Or if he quickly shoves some psychedelics up his arse it will all be okay? This forum is not going to go out of it's way to cater for our individual vulnerabilities. That's just the way it is. Take the good and leave the bad.
  19. I am not unsympathetic to the suffering. I don't want anyone to suffer on here but come on man. If you are going to say actualized org is even partially to blame I would argue 100% that is false and that it is 100% to do with the person themselves. You just can't blame an internet website for the suffering, not even blame it 1%. It's obviously just triggering an issue that is already there. The person either can continue using the forum or not. The forum is not dangerous and neither is Leo. You would have to shut down the whole internet to get the risk down for your friend. I'm just trying to do you a favour with this post honestly. Don't waste time looking to pass the blame onto Leo or this forum. It just distracts from dealing with the real problem. Blame is a strong word perhaps. Even attributing a cause for your friends issues to this forum is a big stretch. I really believe that. We all, me included, get so committed to looking outside ourselves to solve an inner problem. It's crazy but we love to keep doing it. Mostly out of habit I think.
  20. I have only recently stumbled into Neville Goddards work and it's hitting the spot for me big time. Glad I found it. And it's available for free.
  21. I have settled on my prayer routine. These are my before bed prayers. Yes, quite a few, as I need them. My morning ones are posted above this entry. Loving Father, Please help me to receive all the good gifts you gave me today with thanksgiving and gratitude in my heart. Loving Father, Beneath your wings Filled with light I have no fear. Wading through truth Clean and bright I have no fear. Dwelling in love Safe at night I have no fear. Soaking in your hope Eternity sings I have no fear. Loving Father, May your love overcome my resentment, May your strength overcome my exhaustion, May your truth overcome deceit, May your hope overcome apathy, May your light overcome darkness, May your wisdom overcome confusion, May your peace overcome my stress, So that I might rise up with a new heart, With rest and balance, With transformed thoughts, To face the challenges afresh. Loving Father, I Trust in Him with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding, and in all my ways acknowledge Him and let Him make my path straight. Amen.
  22. I have settled on my prayer routine. These are my morning prayers. Yes, quite a few, as I need them. Loving Father, Thank you for this new day, Help me to live it, hand in hand with you. Loving Father, May your love overcome my resentment, May your strength overcome my exhaustion, May your truth overcome deceit, May your hope overcome apathy, May your light overcome darkness, May your wisdom overcome confusion, May your peace overcome my stress, So that I might rise up with a new heart, With rest and balance, With transformed thoughts, To face the challenges afresh. Loving Father, As I go into today, Be with me Lord, Be the patience when I'm frustrated, Be the endurance when I am tired, Be the wisdom when I am uncertain, Be the inspiration when I'm out of ideas, Be the peacemaker when I feel hurt, Be the comforter when I feel overwhelmed, Be the energy when I am weary, Be the guide when I am confused, Be the forgiver when I get it wrong, Be with me Lord, today. Loving Father, This morning I put on the full armour of God. I put on the breastplate of Righteousness and carry the shield of Faith by receiving the mercy of God. I am putting on the shoes of peace. I don't know what's going to happen in my life today but whatever comes my way, I'm up for it. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I'm ready for anything and I'm equal to anything. I’m going to go from Faith, to Faith, to Faith, to Faith. I'm going to stay in peace. I'm going to be adaptable, flexible, teachable, and resilient. Even if I don't get my own way, I'm still going to keep my peace. The devil's going to do what he's going to do, other people are going to do what they are going to do, but this is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad. Loving Father, I Trust in Him with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding, and in all my ways acknowledge Him and let Him make my path straight. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Father, make me a channel of thy peace – that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness – that where there is discord, I may bring harmony – that where there is error I may bring truth – that where there is doubt, I may bring faith – that where there is despair, I may bring hope. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. Amen.
  23. @Spiral_Wizardry_Fan Thanks for reply. I hear you!
