Are you me? This is exactly my current situation. To be a sailor, you must leave the port, but you must make sure you are sailing on the right sea.

If your environment is very unconscious, then you will choose not to engage most of the time. This makes you isolated. God is the loneliest ONE. But when we strive toward His Realization, we too become lonely as a test of endurance. Can you endure being infinitely alone?

Your personality is too focused on details. Try to look beyond the words and think more abstractly. Usually, videos that Leo makes are summarized in the quote he puts in the beginning. If you understand the quote, you don't need to watch the video

Perhaps... but you must respond to your immediate environment. I visited another country recently and was in contact with people who have not yet realized their survival needs. If you spend an extended period of time with these "types of people", there is a high probability that you will regress to their understanding of reality. There is lots of subconscious imprinting happening and if you are not fully aware of it all, you will regress. I am curious to hear from others who perhaps have been in isolation for extended periods of time. What has been your experience?

Solve your local problems before solving global problems. @Onecirrus When you focus on solving your local problems, you might notice how the global problems flow over into your local problems. When you have solved all your local problems, try solving global problems. To solve global problems, Politics is currently the most effective approach. -

Music has its own vibrational frequency. You have your own vibrational frequency. When you grow, you change your frequency. If you have always liked the same type of music, you haven't grown much. -
We don't need more words. We can barely understand each other with the words we already have. If you are looking for another interesting project, investigate how people can communicate telepathically, without words.

Money is how people communicate value. To get money, you must provide value to someone. To provide value to people in the future, in the present you must solve a future problem. Can you solve such a problem?

There was a lot of synthesis of many philosophical ideas in his lectures. He tried to analyze important philosophical themes from an enlightened point of view. He introduced a new language/concept through which we can approach enlightenment. His approach is much more academic compared to the way Leo explains enlightenment. There are many small insights within his lectures. His style of teaching is not as entertaining as Jordan Peterson for example, but Vervaeke has more intellectual depth.

Everyone is growing at their own pace. We are not better than others. We just want to grow faster. The destination is the same for all of us.

Why don't you try to meet new people? It is a good way to get out of your head and learn the thoughts of someone else. Their thoughts might not be enlightening, but at least it will be someone else's thoughts. On purpose... Try to find the ways in which you differ from others. The ways you are different makes you exceptional. In your differences, you will find your talents. Work every day to further develop your talents. Always try to push the boundaries of what you think is possible. Try something new every day. That is a good way to expand yourself. A journey of thousand miles starts with a single step. Start small. Say hi to a stranger.

Opinion is subjective while knowledge is objective. The problem is that reality is a mix of the subjective/objective while it is neither.

Depends on the book.

You will reincarnate as every living and non-living thing. Only once you reincarnate as everything, you will know yourself. -
A book is an abstraction of thoughts of the author. A summary is a second-level abstraction of the thoughts of the author by the person that wrote the summary. To gain wisdom, you must be close to the original Source. By that I mean, you should read the original work, not translations or summaries.

That is just your opinion. If it was knowledge I could apply it in real life. I tease. I tease.

@Matt23 Indeed. I just finished all 50 of his lectures today. He has developed the closest explanation of enlightenment that can be approached with language.

The meek shall inherit the Earth. But before they inherit it, they must go through Hell. -
An opinion is not backed by facts. Knowledge is. But then the question becomes, are facts opinion or knowledge? Tricky business.

I agree with most of your assessment. His biggest problem is that he is too conservative. He is well read, highly inteligent and has deep understanding of human pshychology. If he was little bit more liberal, he would be able to transcend himself. -
Watched it... Nicely done!!!

In reality that is infinite, we must create mathematical scarcity so that we can have something to value. Bitcoin is a mathematical scarcity.

Yea... Leo tries to make the toilet paper levitate. It is amazing that out of so much content, you noticed the toilet paper. Is everything else just bullshit? Who knows...

Sounds like you need to organize your time better. I mean you shouldn't try to copy others. Find your passions and do the things that work for you.

Same question for you. @Seeker_of_truth 1. What is your typical day like? What do you do everyday? You don't need to walk in the shoes of others to become great. You just have to stand on their shoulders.
