Meditation is more benefitial to life purpose than enlightenment. I heard someone say in this forum that it's same to play 1 hour of video games every day, as it to meditate 1 hour every day, for enlightenment. I don't know about that. I can disagree about that too, but also I want to say that meditation is must for life purpose. Enormous value. 1 habit and practice Leo said that meditation is survival. HELL YEAH, it is. It is number one survival enhancement habit. Just sitting alone, and doing nothing, will not just help you survive, it will make you thrive. *by meditation I mean, sitting in solitude, for certain period of time and doing nothing. Deepak Chopra wrote about this in his book, 7 spiritual laws of success. For example + many others

Praying is abstract. So you are telling me to ask bearded man in clouds for love?

@Artsu What do you mean by praying to God?

I did not listen to Dan's interviews as much, but what I listened to: I think He is intelligent guy. Not stupid guy. You also said in your videos it is not about status or looks. I don't think, girls chase him, just because of his money. He has an attractive personality too.

I don’t understand, why in Maslow’s hierarchy Self-Actualization is in different category than Self-Transcendence. I think, they should be one. Self-Transcendence should be a part of self actualization, or vice versa; or there should be third thing, which contains both of them. What you guys think?

This is great too. He went metaphysical. It was like watching 20 minute video of actualized.org

I may not listen to their music but they know what they are talking about here.

This may sound at first glance stupid, but in my opinion, hard work is actually easy work. By saying hard work, I do not mean hustle; no sleep team; action over anything;, I mean: Taking right step, both mentally and physically. Doing self-actualization work for example. When it’s time to practice, practice. When it’s time to sleep, sleep. Etc... By saying, hard work is easy work, I mean: Doing the things you know in your heart is right. You can feel resistance but afterwards, you will get into the flow. You will get that acquired taste. You will feel the joy, which is hard to describe but you know what I mean. Easy self-discipline, trait of Maslow’s self-actualized individual. Exact opposite is person who always takes easy road; easy way out. This person, when it’s time to practice, sleeps. When it’s time to sleep, does something else. This person by ignorance, thought he took the easy path with least resistance, but he made a mistake, he took the hard one, with the most friction.

@hyruga I was un-disciplined for couple days, and I felt suffering because of it. Took the easy road, and it was not easy. Now, I am back way I want to be and I feel great. Took the hard road: I am feeling the feeling of wish fulfilled, like Neville Goddard would say. After that, I wrote this. Of course, I also read and heard self-help teachers talk about this. For example Leo, in his videos about life advice for young people and also, his speech about building a passionate life. Also, others too.

After Leo’s blog video which was about homeless guy. I came across a movie about prostitues: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princesas I learned little bit from the movie about their perspective. After watching, I remembered Leo’s blog post, and wondered: ”What would actual prostitutes perspective be like” I searched it on YouTube, and found this channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/SoftWhiteUnderbelly They have interviews with prostitutes and some other videos too, and it’s craziest shit I have ever seen, could not watch their videos fully because of fear and negative feeling

@Patrick_9931 I really like Napoleon Hill. I read his books. I appreciate his writings. Amazing individual. BUT To be honest: He is not most developed guy, in my eyes. He is pure orange. For his time, that’s amazing. But he does not understand, power of the mind, consciousness, properly. I started with him, his books were first books I read. Eventually as I improved myself, I know see things differently. If you want to read books about success: Read Reality Transurfing, Neville Goddard. As far as complacency goes, you should not get identified with body and mind. If you do that, you are going to get stuck. In order tomorrow, you must shift your identity, you cannot do that unless you are detached. Complacency stems from identification with body, and mind. Here is great video: By the way, in my opinion, best Napoleon Hill’s book is: Outwitting the Devil. Not think and grow rich.

@Member Beautiful eyes.

@Member No. she is young. She will grow, gain weight, and she will look great.

@Member Tall women is relative, so it depends.

Last time, my mum measured me, I was 6ft 4 inches tall. Still growing. I found another tall girl

@Leo Gura Me: “Hey girl, I like your hot long legs, when do they spread?” Her:

That’s because you are self biased . Imagine, if you were 7ft tall, and you meet her in Whole Foods or yoga class..

@Leo Gura This Russian lady is very pretty

@Sleyker Very good saying. Thanks for sharing.

@Gesundheit I see your point. Good for you bro. You are well-developed.

As I said, watch those videos carefully. Do not binge. Binge on self-help. You can feel lot of negative energy, which will hinder growth. I watched videos about tricks, and that’s it. Stopped there.

Emotional-guiding system!!! When we increase our awareness, we know when we are on the right track, and when we went off. Helps with personal development

I agree with you. Should not fall into epistemic trap, in any situation, and this is not an exception. In some videos, people were so off track, I think, they were probably lying too, not telling the whole story...Even that's the case, it's not about their story. This channel just very good test for open mindedness. In my opinion, listening to this videos, way to much, will be bad, because those people are dysfunctional. (I am not blaming them for that, of course...You know what I mean) + This is great example why libertarianism is wrong, and where term personal responsibility, in this context, flies out of the window. As Leo said in his blog, society needs to be build, where these kind of people are also in society, living healthy way. If everyone was highly personally developed, government would be easy...

Yes. I think that's why, many yogis in India, retain their semen. Use it to enhance their practice and what they do. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmacarya
