For most young guys, their struggle with getting a girlfriend boils down to social anxiety. It’s not that they’re afraid of talking to girls; they’re afraid of talking to people in general. And this is very common among introverted young guys. I still struggle with walking around a mall or attending a social gathering without feeling like a paranoid weirdo who thinks he’s being watched. You keep looking around, becoming overly conscious of yourself, and making weird facial expressions when you should just go monk mode and stop giving a fuck about who’s around you.

A journal for posting anything that comes to my mind regarding literary anything in my life or in life in general . I want to look back at it after few years and find that I went through a lot of things yet I’m still thriving and maturing.

And this whole over-investment in the field of politics. Some people have suggested this point . It’s not because I don’t like politics, but because it seems naturally disconnected from teaching advanced spirituality . Other fields like Art seem more connected. I don’t imagine a person who studies let’s say Ramana Maharshi and then Studies Carl Marx . There is a disjoint when a blog post is about metaphysics and then the next blog post is about politics.

I don’t know if this fits as bias but it’s a point of criticism that there is this huge gap between your teachings and your conduct. You teach truth, consciousness, love and advanced things and early on the transcendence of ego. Yet sometimes the way you communicate with people seems inconsistent with those very ideals. A lot of times You can be very dismissive to people because they seem silly to you or use rude vulgar language toward people who disagree with you. Like how on earth could you ignore answering my thread on suggesting a way of deeper communication between yourself and us as fans of the work . Even if it was locked , you could post and say what you think . Another thing you mislead a lot of people by teaching falsehood like solipsism and radical ideas without fully explaining all the nuances about it ,then complain that you should not be taken out of context . To name a few .

😂Whenever I feel down I listen to this man and I laugh . Doing stand up comedy when you’re old (which is the age you’re supposed to be wise and settled ) makes him double funny . share your best stand up comedy .

I like this phrase .

@Wilhelm44 no problem. Accepted . It’s a mismatch . I tend to carry myself less seriously these days in general. Should not assume that others are having it like me because life is different for everyone .

@Wilhelm44 it’s all good . Relax . I apologize.

@Wilhelm44 no I’m just practicing non reaction . I don’t mind it when people insult me these days I just laugh . You are not a stranger I’ve talked to you a lot and I saw you on your little video trying to sound like Jim Newman lol. You’re good . Just chilling

Don’t insult me bro . Your mama might beat you for being a naughty boy .

I think he means the link . Or you are being dense .

Talking in abstractions like that doesn’t lead anywhere . You need to explain how is an individual who’s undisciplined can avoid turning their lives into a mess in practice.

In a very clear sense, I have come to see the apparent character I appear as in the world as something being moved by a force beyond its own understanding. It is as though I am watching a life unfold through this body, yet the ultimate source of the movement remains unknown to me. I experience myself as someone who thinks and makes decisions but beneath all of this , how much of what I call my life is actually authored by me? And how much of it is simply unfolding through me according to power I don’t fully comprehend? We call that unknown force God. I do not necessarily mean God in the conventional religious sense, with all the human interpretations that have accumulated around the word. I mean the unknown reality behind existence, the source or governing principle to which the entire movement of life ultimately belongs .I call it unknown and even unknowable. No body knows what that is. Because that’s its very nature . It can’t be known because knowing implies a distinction between the knower and the known but let’s put that aside for now .I do not claim to understand its nature or its intentions .In fact, mystery is precisely what makes the question so profound. I am not pretending to know what this force is but rather I am questioning whether the individual human being has ever possessed the slightest little ounce of control over his or her own life. And strike it out NO. It’s all being done by god or the unknown force . people, me included , don’t like this idea and they will dance around it with million excuses for why we should not live our lives or act from that perspective because it’s impractical and a little bit nihilistic. But here is where we have to draw a distinction between truth and practicality. It’s true but impractical. And realizing it as true won’t make our lives more or less functional because it is already the case whether we realize it or not . But actually it will make us more relaxed and live life with such ease and peace because we are fully aware that our lives are like a dream where the unknown force is orchestrating our lives and we don’t know what is happening to us in a moment from now and that can help us live with less stress and anxiety. i will add more but that’s what occurs to me at this moment. But this is an important topic to me .

Anyone who’s ever achieved anything worthwhile in their life understands the value of discipline. Stop kidding yourself .

Ok so nobody understands anything but you. We’re wrong and you are right . Therefore you should call us names ? Does that even happen in kindergarten?

But that’s just being sexist . Suppose I’m a chick .. why should having a pussy rather than a penis be inferior? Is a pussy inferior to a penis inherently? How exactly is a body organ an insult ?

Yeah no hope . Carry on .

@James123 you’re just saying it’s all equal . So apply it to your own meaningless nihilism which cancels itself out . Try to learn from him . You sure as fuck he knows this shit better than you then take a breath and try to understand for once my dude and don’t you dare respond with I expect you to respond .

say that again .

@Ulax he had no mercy for Madrid players . Such a nightmare lol . roll the dice. I expect Barcelona to win but the game is not gonna turn into a circus like that one because of aboveboard mentioned reasons . Cheers.

@Ulax Your pfp lol . Mourinho . His first ever El-Classico he lost 5-0 . But it was explainable because that Barca squad was the best team ever . There is actually a return to the Camp Nou today . do you know what I’m saying? Lol

I don’t know . Everyone wants their culture to be the best. A shithole is more appropriate to call Cambodia or Afghanistan . If you take a Random member off the streets there and send him to Las Vegas, London , Paris etc he will have a cultural shock and die . Try to appreciate the diversity of reality . You could explore the animal kingdom forever basically and that’s just one subset . Open your mind .

@Atb210201 dude stop this nonsense. You’re obviously fully aware of the light years distance regarding sexuality and sexual freedom between the west and Middle East . Stop moralizing about it .

It depends upon what kind of enlightenment you are seeking. Because Leo teaches a long list of different realizations.For the realization of no-self , just self-inquiry as taught by Ramana Maharashi . There are numerous resources on it online . Just google it . For things more complex like realizing how your mind is imagining your life like a dream , there needs to be some psychedelic experience along with deconstructing your every last drop of preconceived ideas about what reality ought to be . Personally I don’t like to fuck with these domains because most people misinterpret their trips and draw conclusions based upon their experience. We are barely beginning to understand how the brain functions to be able to understand how these chemicals affect our consciousness so don’t lose yourself too much . But that’s generally seems to be the suggestion for attaining what Leo called God-Realization. But for peace of mind and awareness , just meditating really . Watch Leo’s earlier videos on enlightenment and meditation.

@Vido keep it up . This is a step in the right direction . I hope this community develops more and more.
