I actively follow others' journals on here. But i'm not sure if anyone follows mine lol. If i have any followers who want to ask questions about my path or where i'm at/going then feel free i'd be happy to engage.

@Leo Gura Do you have a plan for nuclear winter and nuclear war?

@Romer02 No problem. Follow the good feelings. If someone sais something to you and it doesn't feel good then fuck that advice and find something that feels good to you. Good luck

You must take 100% responsibility for everything in your life. You have control over the types of thoughts you think. You also have control in the types of emotions you feel. But it's no simple, and these topics have a lot of nuance. Empty your mind of all beliefs and ideas you have about how you think spirituality works. Be humble enough to admit you don't know shit, and everything you think you know how about spirituality is just dogma and beliefs passed on from others. Take time to learn about these topics for yourself. Learn about thoughts. Learn about emotions. Enter this place with a beginners mind. There's a lot to become conscious of here. Which thought feels better? "I have no control over my thoughts and emotions". "I am 100% responsible for all my thoughts and all my emotions"?

@fridjonk Yeah I think so. Throughout the day the types of thoughts we have are influencing how we live our lives. Our thoughts are the driving force behind what is actually playing out in our reality. Most people, myself included, spend a lot of time meditating but we are fluctuating between the object of meditation like the breathe and our typical thought patterns. The issue is most of our typical thought patterns are unhealthy because of societal conditioning and upbringing so we are thinking our selves into happiness with unconscious thinking patterns. Affirmations change the wiring so the default is positive thoughts. Basically brain wash ourselves into thinking healthy and happy thoughts. It works with meditation because rather than making the breathe the object of meditation, or the object of awareness. We turn our attention to positive affirmations as the object of meditation. The more frequently we do this, the more our typical thought patterns become positive rather than negative. And thus the more positive emotion and experience we get in life because we changed the core component of experience, our pattern of thinking.

I am about half way through "Ask And It Is Given" and OMG. Law of attraction makes so much sense. Can't wait to keep learning and master this topic!

@fridjonk Are there float tanks in your area. For the past 3 days i've done 3 hour floats each day. It's been really great. I find the tank allows for easier relaxation and depth compared to a normal sit. I also recommend using affirmations for at least some part of the meditation. Bringing attention to the present moment is great, but when you got lost in thinking it's better if you've conditioned yourself to think positively in the time you're lost in thought.

Build more confidence and self love. As you grow creativity will occur spontaneously on the path. Highly recommend affirmations. Before bed and when you wake up. Much better than strict meditation ime.

@Salvijus Lol why won't you answer the question my dude? Maybe this jaded attitude doesn't feel so good. I don't listen to anyone on here who isn't at least incredibly happy and feels love and joy in virtually all moments of their life. The only reason i'm here is to improve my direct experience and feel the highest joys that life has to offer. If you want something else then so be it. But miss me with that noise.

@Salvijus @Chintan desai It's a jaded perspective but i don't know if he's right or not. @Nahm recommended Reiki to me. So I wonder how Nahm would view the statement that no legit guru would recommend it. @Salvijus What is your existential experience? What do you feel and experience on a daily basis? Is it love, bliss joy,? Or are you experiencing fear, hatred, boredom, irritability?

Had my first reiki session today. Overall it was very fun. My reiki person was very intuitive and I think she has a very high level of consiousness. A lot of the things she said to me made a lot of sense and were consistent with how i view my current stage on the path. She said i'm doing enough and my destiny is coming to me, i just have to be patient and surrender. This is consistent with how i view my path right now. I'm doing all the right things. I just need to be patient and start surrendering to life more. Yoga class today was amazing. I did a new class and the teacher was pulsing good vibes. She's much older than me, but i was insanely attracted to her haha. When i find a long term partner, she will have similar vibes as my instructor. There was something divinely feminine about the way she taught. My main practice moving forward will be affirmations. I've realized no matter how much meditation I do i am still getting drawn back into thinking, and i was not doing anything to address the underlying negative beliefs that were causing me unhappiness. No more. Affirmations for multiple hours per day basically whenever i'm not doing anything will be the key moving forward. I am literally going to brain wash myself into thinking positive happy thoughts lmao. The re-programming of my mind has begun.

@Shroomdoctor Use positive affirmations to re-program your mind to think good feeling thoughts. Spend as much time as possible with the affirmations and get your thinking in line and see how your feelings change.

@Chintan desai I just had my first session. It was a great experience. My reiki practitioner was very intuitive and described my spiritual path pretty accurately without me giving much info. As for the session it felt very much like a spiritual massage. I had some tingling of energy in lower back, i think kundalini energy but not sure, and i felt very relaxed. I'm planning on going again in 2 weeks so maybe i'll do another post after. Would definitely recommend trying at least once. I really liked that i met someone who was as intuitive and spiritual as my reiki person.

@pluto The body you're in right now is 10 000 years old? Or you have memories and recollection of past lives spanning 10 000 years?

Past few days have been incredible. Making some major changes to my spiritual practice routine. Starting to do longer float taAnnk sessions. Yesterday and Today i'm doing 3 hour continuous floats. I'm also going to do less formal meditation and start doing more practices where I listen to affirmations. I'm going to limit my basic TMI meditation to only about 30 minutes at a time because i find it very boring. But the affirmations i'm planning on making my main focus. I'm going to be basically playing these affirmations all day when i'm not doing something that basically prohibits of the use of affirmations like yoga. I asked my yoga teacher if I could use wireless headphones and she shut it down lol. Stage green dogmatism. The yogi's forget why we even practice in the first place. She's like focus on the breathe. I'm like i can focus on the breathe and none of these people here are enlightened so clearly we gotta change it up. But it's all good I still like yoga and i enjoy the workout and stretching benefits. I'm going to do another LSD trip this Saturday. Very excited for that. It's either i break through and experience myself and true love. Or i have a bad trip like last time which will spark incredible growth like how i've changed my diet and changed my sleep habits since the last trip. I literally can't lose lol. Psycidelics are really incredible for growth. But I also understand the fear associated with them. You need a certain level of emotional and psycholigcal grounding to use them. On my last trip i had moments where I thought to myself that I could end up high for ever and this may never go away. But i was like no problem I will overcome. But if i didn't have all this conceptual knowledge about the path then maybe i'd go crazy thinking it will be permanent. Anyone who's reading my journal who is skeptical about using psycs for growth. I'm telling you they are incredible. Changed my diet and my sleeping pattern basically effortlessly. It was a bad trip, i felt a lot of pain and it wasn't a good time tbh. But so much growth since then it's almost breath taking.

@Aaron p I used LSD two weeks and i made more progress in those 2 weeks then 4 months of "spiritual practices" combined. Completely changed my diet from trash to overall very healthy, and I haven't woke up past like 7 in those weeks.

@Aaron p Did you use psychedelics as part of your path?

For those of you who have strong understanding/embodiment of advanced personal development and spirituality, what are some substantive criticisms of Leo's recent videos. Where do you think he is off, or what do you think he missed in his presentation. Leo's content is amazing, and he's the biggest reason i'm even on this spiritual path. But no body is perfect. There must be something he's missing with his content, and I assume people here can fill in some of the wholes. Please don't turn this into a thread where we critique Leo, and project all of our nonsense onto him lol (:

@Chintan desai I have my first Reiki session this thursday so i'll let you know how it goes. If i forget to post feel free to pm me i'll let you know how it was.

Feeling stagnant and bored. Need to change it up and start pushing harder and going deeper. 4 hour float coming up tmrw. More meditation throughout the day. More yoga. More socializing in yoga class. Time to make some friends. It's uncomfortable but I think it's important to make some connections. Going to plan a psycidelic trip coming up. I think Saturday. Working on moving myself up the emotional scale. Gratitude. Optimism. Positivitiy. Eagerness.

@Average Investor How are your energy levels since switching diets? I recently cut out junk like take out so i've improved my clarity and energy a lot. But now i want to take it to the next level lol

I'm trying to radically change my diet for health and well being. I'm basically at ground 0. I cut out most junk, but i'm eating a healthy western diet but not feeling amazing. If you were to advise someone on a diet for feeling amazing. What would you say.

@Bno Wow very cool. Good luck.

@Bno How happy are you with your current lifestyle of following and being involved in politics? Is it love, joy, bliss? What are your pre-dominant emotions and feelings?

@HP Lovecraft Psychedelics can be a valuable tool for personal development work. What's your gripe with them? Why would you steer people away from psycs?
