This man has great points. "How do you know if you don't look?" He's helped many, including his own children, to regulate their ADD so that they function much better. (His daughter went from Fs to Ds to straight As after giving her the suitable lifestyle changes) A lot of psychologists don't trust or believe in his methods though. His scans don't have enough basis in actual science or something. He's also criticized cause he's "rich" from the work he does. I often think about how we are going to look back on medicine in the year 2090 or so. Probably the same way we, in this age, look at medicine from the 1800s, where it was acceptable to drill a hole in someones skull to relive them of migraines/headaches.

What kinda teas do you guys drink? Green tea? Rooibos? Ginger? Do you make your own? Caffeine or none? And what benefits are you trying to get from your tea of choice?

You may not gain weight, which is all fine and dandy until you get something like kidney stones from all the coke later in life. Not to mention that foods like those are highly stimulating. You've probably already heard about this a lot in the past, but your brain is trained like a dog. If you give it treats all the time, it becomes really lazy and uninspired to learn any tricks.

"Oh, thank you. I was getting rid of that anyway." When someone destroys or hurts your ego.

@Chew211 Thank you! The bottom stuff is the bulk of the work you do, and the stuff people have the hardest time dealing with. This is why doing this life purpose thing is so hard. What is considered the most boring, mundane and emotionally challenging part of mastering an art is like 70-80% of what you end up having to do. There's an art to learning to appreciate it.

Hi. So, being about halfway into Leo's Life Purpose Course, an idea of how to sum up what living one's life purpose consist of came into my mind. I call it "The Life Purpose Pyramids". They both represent what action you take physically in the world and the action you take within your mind. Please tell me what you think, or you have any ideas of how these could be improved to be further of use to people.

@Samuel Garcia Good luck! And remember, you can re-program your identity to become a more productive person! Think as one, live as one. Over time, it then becomes natural.

I'm in the middle of the course myself and I'm very unsure of what my values are or what my passions are, and all that. I don't really have a clear and concrete idea of what these are for me. So, besides agreeing with what Orange said, what I'd like to say is, I am really sure that, over time, as we get deeper and deeper into this type of self-development work, our values and such will be refined over and over and become clearer and clearer as time goes on. They'll probably even change to other things as we get more authentic.

I agree with this. The most effective way to deal with addiction (or any emotion at all) is to sit with it and let it tell its story.

I've been planning to fast for a week after reading up on it. I have some odd digestion related flukes, and my symptoms don't seem to match any sort of defined digestion diseases and doesn't even fall within the IBS category and have been trying to fix it for years, but nothing has worked. Maybe fasting will. Is 48 hours the longest you've fasted?

This could be really helpful to people. I myself know that there might be thousands upon on thousands of things that happened to me in the past which the ego picked up on, but haven't taken the time to dig into it and become conscious of them. If there are good techniques and such to help us do this work it could make for a good video.

Cool idea, I wouldn't mind seeing that.

Hey guys. I have a suspicion that I could have a better understanding of awareness and the ego than I already have right now. Know of any books (for example) that could give deeper insights on these so that I have a better idea of what I am looking for? I do 20 minute meditation every day where I detach myself from thoughts and let them pass. Do I just need to keep doing awareness work to understand it better? Please share your own insights. Thanks.

I've been considering the idea that enlightenment is just another step, albeit a massive one. I remember reading somewhere that even after reaching enlightenment, the structure of your ego is still remaining and you have to dissolve it.

Over these past years in my life, I have had this problem where I have a lot of trouble connecting to people. I have social anxiety on top of this, which is getting better with time and I have seen a major improvement with this in this past year. However, as my fear of social situation is vanishing, I am still left with a problem which is that I have a hard time talking to most people. It could be caused by habits in my mind which are left behind due to living with anxiety for a long time, but I am speculating that it might just be because I do not share enough interests with the common person. Small talk is difficult most of the time and I never really feel myself wanting to hop inside an ongoing conversation, I always have to force it. But when people are talking about deeper things, such as psychological subjects, I really feel like I want to be a part and add my own views and experiences and hear what other people think. Because of this, I end up being the very distant one. I feel very alone on this. The school I'm going to, and the many before, everyone seem to be able to make a connection to someone. People share hugs, laughs, jokes cause they are able to engage with each other more naturally than me. I feel like I don't know how to do this, I can't engage with them, and in return they do not engage with me. I cannot get this two way street to work correctly. It could just be something else that's going to dissolve over time as I get better and more assertive, but I was wondering if anyone else was dealing with this?
