  1. @Princess Arabia Got yaaaa
  2. @Princess Arabia Yeah, but it's sad. He really wants a real connection. Instead pays for a fantasy.
  3. @Osaid He means “are there other minds?” I think
  4. @Osaid I think Leo said it was absolute actually
  5. Hi everyone, I've been experimenting, watching through lots of different routines on youtube. I am working towards a deep experiential understanding of different teachers, techniques and types of Qigong. I thought this short routine had a lot of fantastic exercises that I think can help us as we develop ourselves spiritually. Don't overlook Qigong as a highly practical and foundational habit to have along your spiritual journey. Developing a mind-body fitness is crucial to support your spiritual endeavour. I believe that in order to maximize our capacity to love, create and remain highly conscious in a sober state is to have a tool box of techniques and practices that address different aspects of human consciousness. Our body/mind is one of the most foundational aspects. Don't let it's name, lack of popularity or it's simplicity and ease steer you away either. It's a very effective practice that promotes mindbody fitness, defined here by CHATGPT: -------- Here's a comprehensive definition: Mind-body fitness focuses on exercises, techniques, or activities that promote a harmonious relationship between mental and physical health. It involves various disciplines such as yoga, Pilates, tai chi, qigong, meditation, and certain forms of dance. These practices emphasize the importance of cultivating mindfulness, breathing techniques, body awareness, and relaxation alongside physical movement or exercise. The core principles of mind-body fitness often include: Awareness and Mindfulness: Encourages present-moment awareness, mindfulness, and conscious attention to the body, breath, and movement. Breathwork: Emphasizes controlled breathing techniques to facilitate relaxation, focus, and stress reduction during exercises or activities. Physical Exercise and Movement: Utilizes exercises and movements that integrate both physical fitness and mental focus, promoting strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. Stress Reduction and Relaxation: Aims to reduce stress and tension by incorporating relaxation techniques, aiding in the release of physical and mental stressors. Holistic Wellness: Aims to enhance overall well-being by addressing not only physical fitness but also mental and emotional health. Mind-body fitness practices are believed to offer numerous benefits, including improved physical fitness, reduced stress, enhanced mental clarity, increased body awareness, and a greater sense of overall well-being. Many individuals find these practices helpful for managing stress, improving posture, increasing flexibility, and fostering a more balanced and healthier lifestyle. --- ------ I personally think Qigong is a great foundational practice for anyone who is a self actualizer, working toward becoming a sage, or someone working on spiritual develop and personal growth and health/ longevity in general. Here is a great short practice by Kseny. Note: There is a wide variety of practices, styles, techniques and schools of thought around Qigong. You may want to explore different teachers! Find one suitable for you. It's my opinion that Kseny is one of the greats!
  6. @Phil King True, Leo for example sometimes fails to acknowledge his unique situation.. No family, no kids, no employees, total creative freedom... Easy to trip whenever ya want with that set up.
  7. I may sit, and then walk every 30 minutes for 5 minutes in a walking meditation. You are basically trying to be still etc, but your body will likely ache. I personally will in the early part of the meditation do some shoulder roles and neck rotations to massage out aches and pains, smiling into the body so I can sit with more ease. You can treat this 4 hour sit as an experiment as well. Find out what works for you. Also, a bit of endurance and discipline will be usefull. You may want to sit on a cushion for part of it, and then sit on a chair for part of it. Sitting for long periods is really unhealthy. So, find a balance. I personally like training with the Headspace app. It got me to a point where sitting is much easier because it helped me train the mind.
  8. @Actualizer777 Hello my friend. Take some time to spend with friends, family, or others. This solipsism stuff, when understood intellectually is just none sense. Focus on enjoying Leo's content, socializing with others etc. Other people are real.
  9. cranky sheeesh Yeah, Owen does have some Trauma. That's sort of his Origin Story... Alcoholic Dad, Autistic, desperate for love and feeling of success... That's what drove him to go as deep into his field as he did and why he became one of the greats of pickup and social dynamics. I look forward to buying his course.
  10. @Raf Happens, you can plug or snort it. Next time, simply make sure it’s freebase. Is there an easy way to turn HCL into freebase? Idk
  11. Easy there. He has a spiritual side for sure. Many people here, young people into spirituality actually would benefit from burning through Karma. But, Own, I don’t know what will come of him. He is only in his 40s.
  12. He has many years to go. Maybe he will explore once he exhausts his karma if he does it. Maybe he prefers being happy over awakening I listened to own Cook read the bible for an hour this summer. He is more into life coaching these days than pick up. Leo, are you being fair?
  13. nnDMT is not for me at this time. It will destroy your material fantasy
  14. Funny cute song. Been around for years. It was made as an ad for people to be safe around trains.
  15. Sounds like he is being taken advantage of
  16. @numbersinarow He is asking for clarification I think. Why did you say “ignorance fallacy”? I also don’t know what your point is.
  17. Leo is bald that I know for sure
  18. @Nate0098 Infinity need not be repetitive. Also, it's simply because everything is radically one.
  19. Him being sober got him to wear he is
