Good video! Thanks 🙏 I would say, Peter Ralston and Vernon Howard teach this kind of spirituality. I would also say, Lester Levonson, Sedonna Method and Byron Katie teach aspects of this real spirituality.

Well, tha why Leo said “use them correctly” not “they work 100% of the time”. Genetics also play a roll. But, they do in all things.

Nope, they would never.

I’m never doing Salvia.

If you could hold context of what he is saying in perspective you’d see what he points too. It’s easy to over Intellectuallize. Also, your essentially man-splaining Leo things he literally teaches in his content. Cringe. While also bringing in context beyond what is relevant, imo

Take the poison of your age Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page It was wrong but you said it was right In the future I will read at night - Lyrics

@Leo Gura Heartburn = Love

Yay, I am just scrolling through audible for some new audiobooks. I'll take a gander. - List looks good. I am in a different stream right now listening to nourishing spiritual books. But, I think this will be a good insightful list for those in a political science, kick/ interest.

Gotta be strong enough for love

Doubt it. lol, also logically incorrect statement at the end. I simply guarantee Leo’s videos and book list trump those two thinkers. Plus, Actualized teacher includes 5meodmt which is why I say your last sentence is incorrect.

@Breakingthewall Free from all its structure except the Christianity part lol

@Someone here clank clank

@Someone here Haha, I’ve been on the forum awhile. Even moderated. There is less shit here, less trolling etc. Don’t be trolling.

I second this. The forum has improved a lot. But, people like Someone Here still haven’t grown over the years but post garbage and make the forum dumber. Why spend time in a personal development forum if you wanna waste our time with your foolishness? Go dick around in Reddit.

@Someone here ? Not everything is free? I never assumed to look for a free book. Support Peter. 30 bucks for a book at the level of wisdom is nothing.

Actually reading Ralston would be a start. Reading Ending Unnecessary Suffering by Ralston now. Very good book. Helping me bring together Byron Katie’s Work, The Sedona Method and Rational Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, etc. I’ve been transcending so much self created suffering very inspiring. Mastery by him was also incredible. I still have yet to read all his work. I’ve read about half the book of Not Knowing.

Great track, and channel for meditation, reading, contemplation and relaxing

@Leo Gura Idk, Leo. That selection may not and highlighting it only misrepresents my point overall.

@Leo Gura At the end he also claims she: 1. Is doing harm and a disservice to humanity. But, from my brief research, familiarity with her via Brendon Burchard who I have grown very fond of and what the core subjects of her books are about she is providing basic self help and psychological comfort to people. People likely benefit as to her popularity. Not just empty, cold calculated love bombing and marketing funny sales copy. She does not, nor does Jay pose as psychologists. Nor do they just flaunt « positive thinking » and « positive affirmation ». That is a straw man. 2. The YouTuber also claims she makes people less resilient to to the stress and challenges of daily living. How? He never explained that just finished with th claim after framing her in a demonizing light. Could you find example of gross stage orange behaviour etc? I’m of course open to that possibility. This video however is not a good example. Be careful lacking nuance I think, when we judge the character of others that can easily be smudged by negative framing and being well spoken as is this YouTuber. I am open to being wrong. But, I suspect this YouTuber is actually wrong, or at least not entirely correct, and likely is framing this with a negative bias. He, to me interpreted the things said by those in the video different from me, attributing falseness, fakeness, pure manipulation, fake emotions, etc of itch Jay, Mel and the other guest. This to me is not a critique from above.

I won’t explicate all my reasons why but I am pushing back on Leo’s recent post against Mel Robbins. She teaches basic self help intended to motivate and provide some psychological comfort which helps basic people. Her marketing is aligned with her message. And she can love her audience. She can move humanity and people. Can can build a business and profit too. Leo, and this YouTube making the critique love to posture as moral authority but I beckon you to see it for yourself. I really think it’s important not to take Leo’s opinions on everything as true. These YouTubers are convincing and also playing psychological tricks, whether knowingly or not. The guy critiquing Mel has a clear general bias. He makes lots of assumptions and claims to know true intentions which he can’t really. His research is questionable, and his interpretation skills are also questionable. Make your own conclusion. Don’t fall into Leo’s gloom traps. But, focus on discernment, and wisdom development.
