There is no such thing as a normal meditation. Over days, months, years, decades the practice, seeking, changes of practice will happen, depth of perception will deepen and life will invert itself numerous times. Relax. Keep the desire for truth and the nature of reality will show itself to you. Good driver can drive with any car. A seeker can use any technique present. And in time find a better one if needed. Me right now closing my eyes does not at all mean what it meant 10 years ago. And I am incredibly grateful for that. At least in 1 dimension of my life I found some answers.

I am doing my best, that's all I can say to you. What is that something that I can do, well, I am very interested on how that looks like. But I feel it just leads me to more monastic life without sex, because trough more and more reflection I have a chance to undo the trauma, I don't know any other method.

Mostly mental blocks from my mother and women which I was growing up with + lack of father figure. Unhealthy ideas about my sexuality. Guilt of being a slave to my sexuality in 10 year period when I fapped. Older lady (neighbour) called me a pedo because I jerked off I guess or used shower too often when I did it. A classmate who found a bf was hitting on me all the time. Sometimes coworkers do too who are taken. Makes me extremely uncomfortable. Lack of experience with women - both interacting and courting makes a lot of women disinterested. So makes me tired to constantly go after her and conquest that I don't feel sex is worth it and I am acctually not a very physical guy. Idk about this one, but one of my first memories being a woman riding up to me in a car and asking to give me a ride. Basically almost getting into a hands of child trafficking. That rings some mental blocks. Pornography left some scars and guilt. And the endless fantasies that just don't reflect reality that don't reflect "real sex". Thinking my mom might be into me 10 years ago. I have done a lot of work to unwind that, but I still need a lot more. It's not easy to write, but this is what I mean by sexuality expressing negatively. Nothing physical.

Well this thread is about something positive. I found expressing my sexuality very negative when I did it.

You are correct. I don't have any. And may not even have any, which is whatever that means. I see there is a lot of gain in terms of energy with celibacy and moderate spiritual practice. I feel detaching from sexuality is an interesting experience. Yet there is a negative projection that I have to address and work out. I will never have children, sex, intimacy and companionship if I do that. My body will say I want to have somebody, my neighbour will say that also, my mother might say that and my colleague my say that. And that for the rest of my life. That being said, please, enjoy, what's my problem.

Hello! Here is what I think. Here are my credentials. =) I have saved up 7k (yeah, I know, what a big amount, compared to 165 k ) I am a regular guitar player that produces music though. Understanding what is exactly that you desire to do is the hardest question. And you can lost a lot of money answering that. And you can spend even more without answering that. Any training, personal trainer, music teacher, dietitian or biz consultant. Any of that is a calculated cost (music teacher not so much maybe, but), I think the first rule in personal development is that whatever you have been advised and you keep paying for, you have to try it and implement to the best of your ability. Or it's a waste of money as you buy it. You will simply not complete, not do the time consuming legwork to implement such subtle things in your life, subtler than you have already implemented since you write "refined". What do you need? What do you need that you can buy? Can you buy it? Or you can actually do it yourself by slowing your life down and get very cost effective but time consuming alternatives like seminars, books, programs, and yes, few consultations. If you really want to achieve pristine health, it has to be done by you, otherwise you will pay people to say that you are not implementing what they are saying and you not trusting them. Yes, you can maybe get accredited programs in nutrition or get certification, maybe that is a good thing, but will you live up to it yourself to sell it to your clients? If you not have implemented, why your advice is worthy and so on? It's the same with personal trainer? You should approach it like a company in a pragmatic way. What is your design qualification for this purchase and how it will be implemented in your life step by step and when etc? What do you need from personal trainer and nutritionist? Be specific. Retreats for spiritual development/ vacation could be the best for you IMO, combining that with travel. About the guitar teacher. Well, mostly you just gotta practice and know what you want. What are your goals? I don't think you want to play world class, otherwise playing the instrument, recording, composing, rehearsing, building a brand musically is your top priority. About the business. This might be most expensive coaching you get. Again. What for? What is it that you can't answer? What can't you access that you can access in seminars, startups, books etc. Are you looking for somebody you pay and they will tell you, well, you need a business idea and business plan, probably not. Take my advice with caution, I am creative idiot with life out of balance, failing to implement my health and having to undergo surgery. Working in a place I don't think I can escape from and transition to music. I am happy, but I am incredibly unfulfilled and when my coworkers say that I seem to like my work or that I am performing well, it insults me.

Oh my god, THAT explains so much.

Ok, thanks.

Ok, how to know if she is the right one? Your passions match? Or she has some qualities? She is open-minded or not influenced by her peers? She follows her passion? What is it? You got a click with her?

There is, but she is also dating while time is passing. You might not be her first choice.

I agree, I rather listen to Cannibal Corpse than Lizard King "microtonal" music.

NOOO! Not the dubstep!

Well, at least you are a good sport, what can I say.

I should introduce you to people around me, they have so many arguments aginst your and my position that will play out like a broken record. "How can you not have?", "You are a failed human being", "Why don't you have?", "What's wrong with you?". Of course I am joking, but there is a fair bit of truth to what I am saying when I am saying this. Yeah. Me too (think that the earth has too many humans). Who will lead, educate, improve the lives of the already existing people so that they don't have to harm and kill each other? That's why I hate conservative agenda as much as valid Nuclear Family might be. They just do what most do, inherit the blindspots of the masses and project whoever is around. Saying all that, having a family can be incredibly valuable.

I watched Trump/Hilary debate today. At that time he showed to be smarter and more on point when it came to economics. Right now his rhetoric has changed drastically. Yes, you are making good points, however, as we speak Elon is getting flak, and was demoted to giving recommendations. Maybe it was just a formal "bad Elon". Interesting to see it playing out.

Smart people and Elon Musk? Where are those people? The people fleeing town halls? The Trump administration? The people criticized Zuckerberg on bond and now that he is a Repiblican donor, somehow won't for the same issues?

I did not find any value in this quote. I feel something is breaking you. This is not Leo who says that he will speak the truth regardless of naysayers. There is no content in this quote to say. If they land to conquest - we are dead. If they know us and are above our level of development - they have no desire to interfere in our life process. I think you are upset that people may be beyond repair with the tools we have. Or that it will take so much time and energy to do that. I just don't get what you mean with you being "not these kind of people"? Leo, are you saying that you are going to Heaven? That's what it reads for me, I can't believe it. 😀

How does the following - DOGE, Tariff and Drill Baby, Drill associate with health? I know your efforts may be sincere. But Make America x realms with unelected South African citizens running USA may not resonate with your good ideas about health.

Cult monkeys. That's interesting, but I will take it, thanks. Human being is a social animal... needs to have good role models to show what's even possible... or else he will be another cult monkey, like Trump or Tesla cult monkey or crypto bro etc. Why not just give him credit where credit is due is what I don't underestand, why to insult his followers like they are pathological and beyond saving from some kind of negative force.

This is not a based take. This is a bad take. He doesn't know that in Hinduism and other religious traditions you sing the verses of techniques and asanas etc., before you do them. A lot of music people listen to is not about mating. Also Leo is projecting intellectual based path over people who like living trough emotion and projecting emotion with devotion. There are so many devotional songs and there is nada/mantra yoga, kriya pada. People literally use sound to transform their energies and recieve from deities trough musical offering. My genuine criticism to Leo is that no, Leo wouldn't make any kind of music, because he doesn't like that kind of spirituality.

I will say this. Assuming this is true. Why? Because we have to assume. Now, I have experienced cool almost all minor things other people have done, I have had akashik reading (personal) from a person reading of a deity in which I asked questions and the vibe was also very interesting once I got my answers. I have been to pujas, recieved the fruits of offering energetically. Some weird things happened with one of my friends right around when I started the path. I have seen people cracking coconuts and I have heard ALOT of stories from Indian history about such things. I once went to a Bhuddist monk seminar and they also did something just by their look. Of course some no-self glimpses both awake and asleep (in deep sleep) and ofc energies moving throughout my body in chakras etc. All of this is great, but if a Guru can use one of these channels to transmit their experience more and more effectively that's a sign of a good master. I am sure any enlightened being possesses some extraordinary powers And Mooji seems to be no exception. Peace!

Mooji has a defined role and I think he does his best and that's fine. The problem is that there is much more possible and it matters, and it's not explained or tought. And it matters in the way it's tought. I think a person like Ramanujam who worshiped a Devi and he got knowledge that he didn't acquire because of education or a person with actual Yogic body who can play with his energies and do phenomenal things, for the wellbeing of others. Another Classic example is Sadhguru for conscecraring Dhyanalinga, but not only. Other people who pursue Bhakti tradition, have different expressions of their enlightenment. A tantric could posses other extraordinary powers and make stuff out of nowhere. All of these technologies can be used to make global human well-being and they are being used. It's so insane how versatile and how forgotten the Hindu Dharma is. The way Mooji is doing it might be unecessary hard for person who likes to do other type of spiritual practice. I am speculating alot as I am not a spiritual master, but because any master is pointing to the same, why Mooji is better ot whatever, you see. If it works for you, great. What do I know. My experience tells me something else. Peace. Also some esoteric traditions are very systematic and very good at preserving monks, masters and great beings like Bhuddism and some parts of Hindusim for example they have some nuances on top of Moojis pointings that are very crucial to Maintain the dharma. I don't believe that somebody is going to be replacing Mooji and I hope I am wrong.

No, you can be tho if you life a specific lifestyle or by accident something happens. Being your own Master that is more of a Zen way of thinking and here we are yet borrowing from another mystical tradition. But as any other specialist (if they really live this purity or relative purity), these people can do something for you if you are willing that normally you won't figure it out on your own in this lifetime. What I meant by no, is that the odds of your efforts are not going to find any success.

He just has one pointing. And that pointing is from the lineage of Sri Papaji and Sri Ramana Maharishi. In theory the best gurus are the ones who are like Shiva. They can teach different kind of people with different tendencies and ways of life wether that is Dhyana, Tantra, Bhakti, Kriya pada, Gnana and whatever. I have listened to Mooji quite a bit and it has made my life far more bearable, but, wether he is the best, I don't know. Second thing that makes him good is how he can translate and transmit that to you.

What better series you need in actualized.org franchise than the 3 part series of how to get laid and "Go Out!" Best wishes.
