How am I supposed to use that practically? What does direct consciousness of truth using intent even mean dawg

Can you please maybe give me examples of how you did this and how that led to better life for you?

@Leo Gura also your teaching style and lessons have improved drastically as in its way more grounded, out of curiosity, how much of your videos from the past do you now disagree with?

I think you should’ve emphasized this point more in your videos 10x. I remember watching the harness intuition video and feeling a lot of cognitive dissonance when intuition didn’t work out the way I expected. Covering these details is really important because it threw me off a bit. I’m just sharing my experience after trying to follow your advice. ik it’s not easy to explain things perfectly, but these gaps in information can really affect how viewers learn and apply what you’re teaching I think.

Everything I hear is hear-say. I will from now on confirm for myself through experience.

Security and self confidence require letting go of your need to people please. Letting go of people pleasing happens when you become the source of your own approval. Self validation is achieved by being your own ally, which invloves positioning yourself in the most advantageous way you deem possible. Usually this means aligning your life with your core values—like truth and self-development in my case. It’s impossible to know with absolute certainty how to position yourself in the most advantageous way. This said, blindly living your life based on the opinions of other people is faulty in my opinion, and limits you to the person’s your trusting worldview, because they are advising you based on their incentives (which might not match yours) aswell as their understanding of reality and truth (which may or may not be good). Blindly trusting someone's advice is the same as blindly trusting their world view, because they give you advice based on that world view. If their world view is true, you should be able to comfirm for yourself. Even with doctors, you should be able to speak to your doctor, understand why they're advising their sollution to your problem, and do proper research. For this reason it is important to trust yourself fully. Don’t delegate authority over your life. You could still be wrong, but at least this way you are independent and are only held back by yourself.

I just cried my eyes out. Realising that I am not living the life I want to live. If I lived on my own I wouldn’t do half the things J am doing. I would do everything differently. i need independence.im not living my life i hste my life. I realised that no matter how successful I am I won’t be happy like this. It’s not success it’s what I’m doing the way I’m doing it

This year I want to live life on my own terms.

Happy new yearrrr

I wanna have twelve kids. Name 11 of them Leo, name the 12th Theo.

aint it everywhere? Where has it actually turned new year

I didn’t work at all today. Very minimal language work, that’s it. The reason for this is yesterday night I entertained a series of thoughts that spiked my cortisol. I was basically went in to fight or flight and couldn’t sleep. I was imagining a debate about something sensitive and it got heated. couldn’t sleep after that. Subpar sleep, ny head hurt. I basically wasted the day. From now I plan to wake up at 5:45 study from 6-12. Then study from 1-7 12 hours a day. and I won’t get distracted by thoughts.

I have both my parents, both my grandparents still. I must be grateful.

I worked 5 hours today. I worked till my mind is so foggy I can’t think . I feel great. I am finally putting in the work, I feel great.

Who even is this guy, does he have history on this forum or community? Im so confused.

I worked 6 hours today. Most productive day so far. I mean, I was focused the entire time.

Having Children mature you significantly. I don't have experience yet, but I've talked to my parents and they've agreed. Because for the first time you have someone that's more important than you are. I think being more mature will definitely help in recovering the planet. You may not give a fuck about pesticides in your food, or climate change. But having a kid could lead you to fight for future generations. I'm just spewing heresay but it makes complete sense.

I didn't do too much cold approach or get much success yet. Mostly because I don't live in a huge city, but I am planning to improve my cold approach skills significantly. That is going to be a priority in my life at some point. I want to meet a good woman spontaneously like that.

@Flowerfaeiry Hey thanks. Biggest reason I created this post is because I was confused on how to feel about my progress. Your response game me more of a relief. Yes I am itching to reach my goals, and you put it very well, change is very very previous. Thank you for the response

Hey everyone, Lately, I’ve been feeling pretty frustrated with the lack of results in my life. My results making skills, and ability to "brute force" the work is very poor, and I am constantly trying for years to improve it. I’m not sure if I’m just overthinking or genuinely doing something wrong, and I’d love to hear your thoughts. Over the past few months, I’ve been documenting my journey in the actualized journals. I’ve tried various productivity tactics, but I keep finding it hard to do the work consistently, even for things I enjoy. Focusing and staying on task long enough to get significant work done feels almost impossible. This has been a recurring challenge for a couple of years now. The journal has been helpful for spotting patterns in my thoughts and habits, but I still haven’t cracked the code on making real, lasting change. I’ve talked to some of you here before about my struggles with staying productive, even considered ADHD might be a factor. Your advice has been incredibly helpful, and I’m grateful for it. Still, I’m really ambitious, and working just 2 hours a day isn’t enough to match my goals. Honestly, it feels like I can’t even meet basic expectations like school with that level of effort. Recently, I started seeing a therapist to work through some of these challenges, including underlying trauma. It’s been a positive step, but there’s a lot to unpack, and progress feels slow. So, here’s where I’m stuck: Are these struggles normal? Is it typical to fall short of your productivity goals everyday for a long time, even when you’re trying to improve? Should I just trust the process? Or am I doing something fundamentally wrong? (everyday just seems like a new gimmick I am trying to be productive, and of course nothing is sustainable) I can see that I’ve made progress, I’m definitely better off than I was two years ago but the pace is agonizingly slow, and it’s tough to reconcile that with my ambitions. Also, I failed the year, everyone my age that's around me have no trouble doing the work. I'm not gonna play the victim here, but I want to know what to do. I know sitting at a desk for 6+ hours a day isn’t realistic for everyone, but my goals demand a lot, and I don’t know if I’m approaching this the right way. Any advice or perspective would mean a lot. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I am ahahahahaha

@integral wow this was a great response. Matter of fact I was recognizing that every time I took drastic action I basically was obsessed by the goal. Whether it was understanding a existential topic or getting some girl ahaha. im just unsure of whether you can self-deceive yourself into doing this. If so how, how to do it without it seeming like your gaslighting yourself.

@Ishanga i understnd

@Buck Edwards honestly I know this sounds weird but I usually get distracted by philosophy abs self-development. like as a deadline is approaching I somehow convince my self that a certain existential matter is more important than the exam. So il be studying, 2 min later I have a certain question that I need answering and go down a rabithole.

@Ishanga Ok I understand what you mean, thanks for claryifying. Il be honest I want tangible results in life. I can see how Isha Kriya or many other practices can help me be happy right now, and thereby extinguish the need to do anything else (at least on a smaller scale). But I seriously doubt that it excuses me from other self-development work and working on the main goals I outlined. Maybe I am wrong. Thanks anyway.
