@Leo Gura Shouldn't psychedelics help fix these problems?

@Leo Gura How do you get to this level of inner game?

guess i'm going to bars alone then...

I've been meditating and doing self enquiry consistently for almost 2 years and it has helped me greatly. However, doing self enquiry has uncovered a bunch of deeply rooted limiting beliefs about myself and reality. These stem from trauma at an early age and manifest themselves in my present reality which greatly limits my social life, career and especially my dating life. Some of these beliefs are: I am fundamentally disgusting and repulsive on the inside Everyone is secretly laughing at me behind my back I am incompetent at life and can't get anything done Other people have something within them that I am lacking which allows them to be successful and happy I am weak minded There is something wrong with me that other people can easily notice I have also noticed a deep rooted fear of intimacy. I tend to keep people at an arms length and don't reveal much about myself. I physically cringed when visualising myself being intimate with someone even though I really want an intimate relationship. On an intellectual level, I understand that these beliefs are probably false or exaggerated and I can come up with countless examples proving them wrong but these beliefs seem to work on an emotional level and simply FEEL true and therefore continue to manifest themselves in my reality. These beliefs are so deeply rooted that I have developed my personality and ego around them making them insanely hard to get rid of. How do I overcome these limiting beliefs? If anyone has gone through anything similar or has any ideas, it would be deeply appreciated

I'm doing NNN this year. Anyone else joining me?

I've generally been quite shy, awkward and terrible with the opposite sex for my entire life (Im 22). I have almost no experience with sex and dating and I was extremely determined to improve myself in this area. I've been working on pickup and developing my confidence for a few months and I became much more confident, and relaxed and sociable. I started approaching and recently i made out with a girl for the first time in ages. When it happened I was suddenly aware of my victim mindset and limiting beliefs i had been identifying with in my mind and how they were illusory and I knew I had to let it go. Im guessing this was very threatening to my ego so immediately after that happened, I experienced the worst ego backlash ever. I immediately felt a deep primal force pulling me back to my default state. I felt a strong aversion to doing any more approaches, and my social skills greatly diminished. The ego backlash was so intense. I was getting physical symptoms like feeling feverish and tired all the time. I ended up getting really depressed and backsliding to square 1. I'm back to being the shy, awkward, depressed virgin that i've always been and its super frustrating because I was making so much progress. I didn't realise ego backlash even applied to pickup. What am I supposed to do now?

@Emotionalmosquito Stay strong soldier!

@Leo Gura No homo

I've heard many spiritual teachers including Leo talk about the importance of grounding oneself while practicing spirituality but what does it actually mean? And what are some good ways to ground myself? Thanks!

@WaveInTheOcean Damn that song is a banger <3

@Nahm@dorg Are you saying I should stop trying to fix the problem and focus on thoughts that feel good to me? That may improve my wellbeing but I still make subconscious decisions and judgements based on these beliefs. There are times in my life where I have attained extremely high emotional states and in these times, these limiting beliefs have less of an effect on me however these states do not last long and once they end, the limiting beliefs come right back.

@Seed thanks for the advice. Best of luck to you too!

@Nahm This is very interesting, do you have any practical examples or methods of how I can apply this?

@Leo Gura Do you have any tips or resouces on how to master leading and logistics?

My centre of gravity at the moment seems to be around stage yellow but I've realised that i haven't properly integrated stage blue. I seem to lack a solid work ethic and discipline and I'm just generally bad at getting my life together. I spend so much time fantasizing about what i could be or the life that i could have but i don't really do enough to achieve it. I don't want to be that stereotypical deadbeat hippie that can't hold a proper job and lives in his mum's basement. How can I integrate stage blue or just build discipline and work ethic?

I don't think either of them claimed to be god realized. Bernardo Kastrup has some of the best philosophical arguments for consciousness being fundamental. His articles have been published in scientific american and he has held his own in arguments against prominent materialist philosophers. Pretty much anyone can plug a fuckton of 5-meo and become god realized. Not everyone can hold their own in debates against materialists like Kastrup can.

@Leo Gura Can you make a video covering porn, sexual urges and nofap? I think it would be really useful for a lot of people who follow your channel and are struggling with these things.
