     @JayySur  the conclusion I draw from this is that, this is just something I think about. And me realizing that is what will satisfy me cause I can't really know for sure. Just like 30 minutes from now, I don't really know what will happen but I can think about it

     @Terell Kirby this tells me theres no point, its totally free and truly unknowable, but I can guess, and decide how I feel about these facts

    @Kensho I feel if I knew I could be more confident throughtout the rest of my life considering I'll be living the next 30-40 years if I don't die. But if I do die soon I think i'd be very unhappy and be like what the fuck was the point of that. 

    @Blackhawk So theres not much of a point to listen to other people? I just know there's gotta be something more than just this. Cause honestly, life just feels like a grind, and theres aboslutely no real reason to do anything except live it. Which I just can't seem to get motivated to do. Like i wanna be so motivated that even when I'm incredibly unmotivated I'm still incredibly ruthlessly motivated you know what I mean? 

     

    @Loba thank you :)

    @Moksha this makes me appreciate being human and alive and aware. Thank you. 

     

    @Matthew85 thank you I'l have to check that out :)

     

    @BipolarGrowth I love that and I think that is the goal. Thank you. 

     

    @Kuba Powiertowski i mean it has to, we all gotta continue living right? Haha

    @Gili Trawangan This is what I'm realizing. I feel I need to truly embrace this idea.

    Because what is true is such a huge thing. Because what and who you are and what others are is a huge thing. It's literally thing biggest thing. it can't be grasped by the human mind, it's too limited. it's not something you can be aware of all the time, and that's what you're trying to do, and your confusion is the result of the limited mind. Just be in the moment and you can learn about it, it's just concepts, ideas, thoughts about the truth. it's not the actual Truth. because the actual truth is right here right now in front of your eyes.

    You know, like contemplating this topic so deep, such that at a point where i gain the ability to be aware of all the ways i preserve my images from dying and just begin transforming from the inside.

    Those neuro-hacks are cool. But looks kinda "outside-in",not dealing with the root cause. At least from my perspective.

    you're true motivation is outside-in (external friends, family, validation) Mine is literally from the inside-out (literally changing your thoughts and your beliefs.) 

     

    unless you believe those don't really matter, in which case never mind.

    Just repetition until your "whole body" is in harmony with it and can recall it both consciously and subconsciously effortlessly, like driving a car. You drive it everyday (if you work) you use it, you practice it for long periods of time until you're so good at it you don't even realize that you were bad anymore and that driving is easy af.

    Edited version:

    Recently,I was journaling and realized that i am studing hard not because i want to learn stuffs and value knowledge, but what is going on, on the deeper level is that my survival mechanism wants to preserve the image of "a good grader" in front of my parents, friends and others. It subconsciously creates fear and negative emotions to motivate me and i don't wanna do things that way. I tried to let go of the IMAGE, stop serving it and generally feel LOVE towards studing without any strings attached. But sadly, the mechanism is more powerful and wins everytime.

    How can i HACK that mechanism and not do things because i fear the death of the IMAGE ( And maybe move to higher levels of motivations like LOVE or valuing knowledge) ?

    Thanks for reading.

    Tell yourself again. Tell yourself again as soon as you have that thought of, "Oh, I'm only doing this for my parents etc. and not because of LOVE and knowledge" challenge that with the next thought of "now I am, I didn't in the past but I am now and from now on."

    I think this would be a foundational video to ground Leo's teaching style, when I hear about the demonizations of Leo here on his channel and forum I just realize that they don't ultimately understand where Leo is coming from.   He kinda covers it in videos but there isn't a direct video that we could link all the noobs to in order to help them understand.

    @Truth Some people have that condition. It's not necessarily good. I prefer to forget things that I don't need to remember. Forgetting is a blessing.

    Yeah it is a blessing but also I'm talking about vividly remembering peak experiences very vividly that are deep and profound and really something to remember, life changing you know?

    Yes, it is possible. As vividly as you see your hand now.

    However, in my experience, it is unimaginably overwhelming.

    I am much rather conscious of the very moment in front of me, only. One at a time. Instead of "remembering" all at once.

    I get what your sayin', I just dont want to forget the most important things but I realize you just gotta make conscious effort to remember those things.

    No, memory is mental imagery. That is not consciousness proper. That is mind activity.

    The Absolute cannot be stored in memory. Memory happens inside the Absolute.

    This is a crucial mistake. You cannot get to the Absolute through memory.

    I'm starting to realize this, I realize that I just don't want to miss an ultimately temporary peak experience, I want full conscious awareness of it so I can remember it vividly and feel good about it, help it inspire me etc. 

    thanks for all your answers

    @Truth Full consciousness is NOW.

    Yeah but I'm talking about the things that you forget. Is it possible to never forget anything? and see every waking moment as though you never went to sleep.

    Like, a dream at night that you don't remember or is very vague, I'm talking about that always being clear instead of vague or foggy or clueless.

    You do realize that wasn't her opinion.. it was YOUR opinion and what YOU were reading from her. Look at all the projection you put onto her --> " I constantly felt like she didn't like me. Escalation by touch became impossible. I saw (or thought of seeing) every little detail that showed how she didn't like me and thought I was a looser."

    and notice how you created your own negative emotion in your self. This is why meditation is so huge, when you see your mind going there you can just TURN IT OFF.  Interpretation is everything. If she's out with you, It's safe to assume she's at the very least curious about you. If she continues to go out with you on hang outs or dates within 2-5 dates its safe to say she likes you and it's your job to test how close you can get to her and KNOW that she's comfortable with it and that's something you gotta learn through trial and error. In the beginning you should definitely be focused on having fun and nothing else, anything else is a distraction from fun. keep your focus on fun.

    Wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

     

    Ego showed its head a couple of times through ,the video. 

    The video does not matter what matters is that you might be taken for.

    Maybe you should watch Leos video on skepticism, don't dismiss a worldview just cause you saw 1 little video, Leo has over 150+ hours of content, he covers a lot, not including his course, why don't you watch a couple more and make a post that's actually valuable in some form.
