He is good at what he does no doubt, but it comes from a place of pure narcissism and manipulation. The irony of how much he preaches authenticity is palpable. He is self-admitant rapist and shouldn't even have a platform. I'm not even a supporter of the #Metoo movement because of all the reckless collateral damage, but it has brought light onto the scumbags of the world. RSD are a collective of selfish egomaniacs masquerading under the guise of personal development. Literally devils in disguise. https://www.reddit.com/r/RBI/comments/9kx4ri/ive_uncovered_leaked_videos_from_the_worlds/ I recently found out a channel I used to follow for self-help years ago (Project Life Mastery) was proven to have preyed on desperate terminally ill people by selling fake medical cures for INCURABLE diseases. Much of the revenue was obviously used to build the business and make it more sustainable. Yet if you go look at the channel and Stephen James you'd think everything is squeaky clean and was build with pure #passion and #authenticity. That's why teachers like Leo are dime a dozen. Moral of the story is be very keen and watch out who you take advice from. A lot of what seems, is not. The closet door might be flexing with skeletons pushing on it.

@Keyhole Interesting. I guess the lesson here would be don't rely too much on external sources to help you on your path. The motivation and reasons have to come almost solely from within. It seems from what she described she was depending on something too much and that rug was pulled out from under her feet and the fall was too hard for her and she isn't sure she can get back up again.

I'm not sure what she is talking about in the video? She saw number patterns or something and they kept coming up in her life? That supposed to be angles communicating to her but it was demons?

I have suffered from harm based Pure OCD in the past, and somewhat recently as well. It is fucking terrifying, but I have conquered it and learned how to deal with it. The greatest advice I currently have to help move past it and take the burden off is realize; You are not your thoughts. They simply arise within you and are not truthfully reflective of your intentions, feelings, and attitudes. It is your brain misfiring, and projecting/obsessing over absurd possibilities and conclusions. Detach yourself from any beliefs you may have that you are your brain, because that is not the case.

What are you acting like and saying shortly before you "fuck things up", and they stop talking to you? You have to be completely honest with yourself here. Are you being too pushy with them to talk all the time or set up a date? Are you being far too available for them? Are you focusing so hard on chasing that you're neglecting your life in any way? These are the kinds of things to ask. Women are highly intuitive, they can sense these things out and won't say a damn word about it to you, but still feel it. It will cause them to lose attraction. Perhaps you've just been unlucky. Perhaps good things will come your way if you drop the need/attachment mindset for wanting sex or a girlfriend too much.

It just depends on where you're looking. If you being too vague and just going on tinder or going to bars, on average you're going to run into mainstream kind of girls that reflect the kind of society you're in. If you're in a Western nation that's going to be mostly Stage Blue-Orange people who are focused on shallow materialism and success. If you want to kind more advanced people you need to go look in the places that have them; - Volunteering as a lot of Stage Green women that are humanistic and care about others/society - Gardening stores, Tree planting events, spirituality stores - Libraries I'll let you brainstorm the rest. Overall if you're happy and support each other, what's the problem? If you feel like you need them to have the same worldview and think like you, well. You aren't being very spiritual or open and a lot more consumed by ego than you think you are.

Careful not to place to much authority in him or what he has to say. Try to discover the answer yourself.

That was quite helpful. A nice extra kick, I know there are some things I've needed to let go of but I've been struggling. I'll try to take a step back and re-energize myself for a better effort. Thank you.

@Carl-Richard There are 7.8 Billion people on Earth, and 195 countries. To make the assumption that the path of development for all these people and nations should be even roughly the same is naive and too simplistic.

What the most important thing I should be focusing on right now that I'm currently missing? Cool thx Emerald!

Progress isn't always linear. To reach the next stage you sometimes need to regress - 1 step backwards, 2 steps forwards. All living creatures, with humanity at the forefront, are on hurting trajectory towards a singularity. This is eschatology. Reality is a zero sum game. Even if factually, egoic survival is the only agenda, eventually you become so successful at it that the by products simply force you advance, unconscious or otherwise. A nuclear war could happen tomorrow and set us back thousands of years, but the lessons learned will be ingrained in the survivors and will catapult us to even greater stages - 100 steps backwards, 10,000 steps forwards. It is inevitable.

While Salvia can be absolutely astonishing/terrifying/chaotic, keep in mind it only lasts a few minutes. After 10 minutes you will be your 100% sober normal self. (This is smoking Salvia, I wouldn't recommend other forms of intake.) Like Leo said people can have the experience of feeling "locked away" like you'll never come back, but this is just a temporary trick and sensation. After you are sober again in a few minutes you won't have any of those feelings residing. There is tremendous comfort in this. There is no drawn out come down or post-trip brain fog where you feel sick or on the brink of insanity for hours at a time. In this safe it's actually quite safe and low risk, in my opinion. Just make sure you have someone watching you, so you don't walk around and trip and hit your head or something. If you are looking to try your first psychedelic, it's a good starter, because it's so damn short and you are quickly sober. Just get the least potent version you can find and don't take too big a hit. The question you have to ask is are you willing to experience having your reality replaced with something completely different? Does that interest you at all? If so Salvia is the drug for you. Interesting in the very least.

No shit eh........

I'm not doing anything. That's the point.

@Prevailer Belief is = Hoping or wanting an outcome or state of reality. To realize the Absolute truth is to completely surrender to it, as it dissolves the self into the oblivion from whence it came. If this happens, belief is no long apart of the picture.

Being zealous about removing things 100% from your life can be a trap and a form of neuroticism. An enemy of true authenticity. Is having a few drinks on your birthday or Christmas going to shatter your spiritual practices? The answer to that is probably no. If it does, well you have some other problems to worry about.

I mean yea, but knowing it's gonna be a very short trip should evaporate almost all anxiety before you take it. You've subconsciously primed and communicated to your body to be calmer during the experience. It's not like LSD where you're fucked for 6+ hours and you got a long way to go to come down.... Salvia replaces your normal reality so blatantly that you can't (or hardily) even have the capacity to have thoughts or feel emotions anyways. It's like being tripped by the legs from behind, you don't even have time to get mad or react. It just happens. Unlike some other popular psychedelics where that leg tripping happens in slow motion, and you are still able to think, "FUCK this guy tripping me. Man this is gonna hurt. God damn I can't even do anything about it.............ugghhh."

Salvia isn't really dangerous, because you will be 100% sober in 10-20 minutes after you take it. It completely shatters your reality, but it reforms the way it should shortly after. You are getting spoonful of another dimension. The danger is what you do while you're on it. You lose complete bodily control. That is dangerous. DO NOT EVER TAKE Salvia if you don't have a trustworthy sitter.

@Leo Gura Interesting. My salvia trip was remarkably not that frightening. I mean I lost 100% motor and visual function, and sense of having a body, and literally became different objects in the room. But neither panic nor dread came into it. In the back of my mind I still had the feeling of knowing I was on a drug, and that I would be back in 10 minutes, even if I couldn't articulate it in English thoughts in my mind. By the way what is your sleep schedule like, isn't it like 4 am in Las Vegas lol? Do you have a regular sleep pattern or do you just sleep at your leisure?

@Bittu What is the most important thing I need to hear right now?

I don't know if you've experienced this yet, but once you're on a truly healthy diet and eating well, having trash junk food, fast food, and bad food in general will become disgusting to you. It may even make you feel sick. My advice is to force yourself to go through that initial pain, and cross that threshold. Once you do it will be almost impossible to go back.

Why does there have to be a why? Just in asking the question you are limiting answers you subconsciously don't want to hear by making assumptions like that. Seriously consider all possibilities, and be willing to surrender to whatever answer comes your way.

Don't buy into conspiracy theories, almost 100% of them always turn out to be false bullshit. People have their own beliefs and opinions on things, they then go out and seek information and "evidence", and twist it to support a conclusion they made up in their mind long ago. It's not true at all. China has been hurt badly by this, not only economically but they ironically tarnished their own image even more by trying to hide the virus from the world, killing journalists in the process. It removes even more trust from a tenuous relationship with Western powers and makes it's people even more resentful of their government. China really is an amazing case study for collective ego, and how if you try so hard to have complete control over the identity and narrative of something it will backfire in your face. They are trying to hold onto a bar of wet soap by squeezing it as hard as they can. It inevitably slips out every time and it's HILARIOUS.

@Leo Gura What does logic have to do with it? To do this kind of work or take any psychedelics is transcendent and counter-intuitive to logic. At least to the traditional logic that people use to defend and keep their ego/self from death. My point was how do you know when enough is enough for someone else, but now that I've reflected on it I realize it's a stupid question, because you can't. I apologize.

Enlightened, Awake people are not invincible. If you tie them down, torture them, threaten to kill them or their family. The whole thing will fly out the window pretty quickly..............
