i was editing the link below. Imhad the link for a long time on my favorites and was planning to review and study. I know Leo talks on Values a lot and their importance. This Paper aims to study some Hierarchy. And althouth I feel there would need more nuance on it , truth is that this little article covers a lot and maily in the importance to have more education on this matters since most of the problems we face today are directly cause by an invertion or even transvertion of values. Take a look and tell me what you thing, I will glad to add to my study notes on this topic here the link https://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Valu/ValuMin.htm Hierarchy of Values.pdf

For me any Awakening that deny the Direct Exeperience here now and Actual is not worth my time (Well I just used "my" and "time") just to see how tricky is language. So what I want to say is that the Actual exeperience here writing text with these physical finger must be, because is actually what is here now. I always start my meditation from here. Yes some meanderings during the day playing around with concepts, lost in daily drama here and there but coming back to this on and on. The ideia is not getting bored of this. So, this sensory being I am, body with all its intricate functions and all. Think about your body rigth now. If I would ask you to build it from zero, how would you start? No, nothing of coming back in time to you moms belly, I am talking about you , now, moving, seeing, sniffing, tasting,hearing, feeling this sense of distances, heavy, pain, plesure, thoughs, emotions .. HOW? How would you re-built yourself? Every bit? I am incapable, If I dissolved now, I our my ego my "I" sense have no ideia to how to built a human body? And still here I am. So now imagine empty space and nobody there with no instructions to how to built anything. For Who this sort of "something" would ask instructions to buillt "stuff" Inteligence from WHO? Permission from WHO? When a machine is ready built is easy to dismantle and see how was built, you get the manual and rebuilt. But How do you dismantle a machine that dont even exists yet? How you put together a machine that dont exists yet? We dont even know how to built a brain without appealing to inserting our dicks onto a vagina and 9 months later a whole new brand brainy creature is there crying. Where does the "personhood" enter in all this process? Before even start cognizing, reflecting, concdptualizing you mus first come to BE. My whole quest is How this moment here , now is being held as it is, not past not future but this ongoing NOWNESSING, not static now but a flowing now, no cuts , self existing. I am this intelligence working and I dont have a small clue of how I would remake it again since I am in the middle of it , USURPING of it without knowing the intricated threads that hold it together. -

Well, I posted recently one about how to think better by writing more. And in this forum what we do more than anything is Writing a lottttt... So I will share something that may be of awareness o meny here but is always good to remind. Paragraphs for good readablitity. About the good grammar forgive me, english is not neither my mother neither Father language, So, with the help of our Demi-God Chat-GPT I got this very simple guidelines. I hope it may serve some of our most active writers. Mainy the ones who have preference for Long Sermons. Here it goes: GPT speaking below Knowing when to start a new paragraph in creative writing is both an art and a science. Here are some key guidelines: New Idea or Topic: Start a new paragraph when you introduce a new idea, topic, or point of view. This helps to keep your writing clear and organized. Change of Scene or Time: In narrative writing, a new paragraph signals a change in scene, time, or location, helping the reader smoothly transition from one setting or moment to another. New Speaker: In dialogue, begin a new paragraph each time a different character speaks. This is crucial for clarity, making it easier for readers to follow the conversation. Emphasis or Impact: Sometimes, you might start a new paragraph to give emphasis to a particular sentence or thought, creating a dramatic effect. Lengthy Paragraphs: If a paragraph becomes too long or dense, it may be time to start a new one. This can help maintain reader engagement and improve readability. Remember, these are guidelines rather than strict rules. Part of the beauty of creative writing is the freedom to play with structure to achieve your desired effect. As you write, consider the rhythm and flow of your text and how paragraph breaks can enhance these elements.

Napoleon approach is mentalism and power of imagin a positive life for yourself and more some core principles. Covey is about a rigth living on sound principles, values a sense o mission and many more classic wisdom. Basicaly all you can find everywhere in the self help sphere. Live a life alligned with goodness and all is good, there will be challenges but as Leo teach an many others teach, if you alling your life with Health,Growth,Truth,Love,Investing in yourself with consistency in all areas possible you are anti Failure. You say you are afraid of fuck up. Ok, be afraid but see how this being afraid is ready a shot on your feel. Face the hard truths but grab hope and vision with the other hand, almost as your future self ready knew you are capable of magic, more than Napoleon and Covey would ever imagine a human being could reach.

Take in consideration what Leo keep saying all around his videos and maybe even in the Gasligthvideos. He is not perfect and all his info is bound to review and nuance. Is clear that of you have a hint that some especial other may with proof of cause understand something or are a better expert on something more than you , then in this context take his or her opinon in high grade. Example A Vet knows more on dog tratament than me A woman knows more on menstruation, feminine issues than me You got the idea. So yes, if you feel that your grip of reality is less acurate, belief in some others. Overall a Extreme gaslighter will have a certain vibe,tone and weird intentionality towards you. Is something you catch in the air. But then if you miss the intuition to sense the difference, well, God Bless you.

More on this topic I remembered from Ken Wiber the distictions of Awakeing up and Cleaning up And in a search I found this. "He says New Age spirituality has focused too much on ‘waking up’ — on awakening spiritual experiences — and not enough on ‘cleaning up’ (dealing with one’s psychological problems) and ‘growing up’ (trying to mature into an adult)." The whole link bellow https://www.philosophyforlife.org/blog/ken-wilber-and-spiritual-hierarchy As was discussed somewhere in the Actualized-sphere. There is Hierarchies of Awakening, but sincerly this Awakening rat race I see here is a comedy. Of the most awake or better aware.. still from the link: ...if there are aspects of your self that are unrecognized and unowned, then meditation could make it worse, by encouraging you to dissociate from them. You need to own your shit before you can advance spiritually.

@Davino Thank you for the Sharing, I am also in the same integrative path. There is time to go high and Meta, but to stay with the Head on the Stars eventually prove to be a deterimental strategy. The work on the Baseline is as Important as Breakthougths. Any thing you find of Value on this direction feel free to share even in direct message

I will even post here a copy of one of the most important Leo posts that I personaly copied to my Commom Book as model of message to give when the level of a Forum lower down here it goes : All rigths reserved to Leo Gura I feel that people here need a reminder of what this place is about. This forum is not like other social spaces on the internet where the function is to rant and rave about whatever stuff surfaces to your reptilian brain. The function of this place is your development, maturation, and evolution to higher consciousness and selflessness. So this place has a bias by default. It is not just willy-nilly post-whatever-you-feel-like-because-this-is-internet,-land-of-infinite-freedom. This requires intention. This requires caring about truth. This requires observing the reactive habits of your ego-mind, which include: rationalization, projection, denial, confirmation bias Emotionality Gaslighting blaming Judging moral posturing, etc. This is not a place to vent or promote ideology. It is not a place to attack others.( You own self ) It is not a place to waste time as you avoid doing work on yourself. I see many here posting in ways as though you never even studied any of my work and you are not interested in becoming more aware of your self-deceptions and egoic reactions. It's time to cut the monkey games and behave in ways that align with what is talked about in the videos. I am not perfect at this, I work on this too every day. I don't need you to be perfect about it, but I need to see you trying. This forum is a place for going meta. It's a place to scrutinize yourself and find ways to make yourself better, not to nitpick others or engage in debate. It is not about the content of what you post but the structure of your mind and why you think the way you think and do the things you do. It's about deconstructing yourself. Think long and hard about whether you are on board with this mission. If not, then this place is not for you. Go elsewhere online where you can be free to act out your ego and battle other egos. That's not what we do here. Going forward I will be keeping an eye out for this, looking to see if each of you is here to do the work, or just to vent ego. Those venting ego will eventually be kicked out. Every time before you post, as you write your post, I want you to stop and ask yourself, "How is this post just me acting out my ego in the usual ways?", and "Is this post just me venting and justifying my selfishness?" In a nutshell, I want to see people doing more self-reflection and being more conscious of their behavior at the meta level. Are the things you are posting in alignment with principles of higher consciousness and higher stages of ego development? Are you acting in a mature or immature way? Are you being selfish or selfless in your communication? Are you acting like a monkey or like a God-like being? Basically, I want more Tier 2 discussions rather than Tier 1 discussions. So make sure you study that difference and strive to discuss topics in a Tier 2 fashion. Tier 2 requires you to be more aware of your biases and less self-absorbed in your personal emotional baggage and survival agenda. Notice how most of the stuff you post is just a cry from your survival agenda, nothing more. Like a baby crying for candy and throwing a tantrum or using tricks to manipulate others. You are still allowed to have fun here, but don't get carried away with petty human nonsense. Watch your own tricks like hawk. No one else can do this for you. This is your job. This is how you grow. It's not about me policing you, it's about you learning to police yourself because that's what conscious beings do because they respect life. Cheers! -

Small article but so deep. the difference of just posing as confident or fake confidence and Genuine Natural Confidence Shining Confidence by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche We are all leaders, in that each of us is leading our life. We have no choice. We are making decisions moment-to-moment, even if it’s to butter our toast. To lead our lives well, we need to be intimately involved with our own journey. It’s healthy to meditate because it’s a way to move forward and have vision. We can take the proper posture, let ourselves be, and get in touch with the unconditional health of the mind. That is meditation. Even in the beginning, as we struggle less with thoughts, emotions, and sense perceptions, we experience a glimmer of inherent nonaggression that allows us to be at peace. When we feel upset, depressed, or frustrated, this feeling of space and accommodation is challenged, and our relationship to it shifts. Meditating is an unbiased way to strengthen our confidence in it. Such confidence in our inherent nonaggression cannot be acquired, but only uncovered. If you feel that you have to create it, you are experiencing a tinge of aggression. We’re talking about aggression that manifests as an innate feeling of disharmony and uneasiness. It is a dualistic root that requires us to struggle. We are somehow not content with what we are experiencing. the notion of gentleness in the Shambhala tradition is that we do not have to manufacture an aggressive state of confidence. In this case, confidence is something we already have. The Tibetan word is ziji. Zi means “glory, brilliance.” Ji is “splendor.” This word describes the inherent radiance of the human heart. Although having confidence in yourself can be helpful, ziji is different. This confidence embodies our natural radiance and naturally extends to others. Ziji is a sign that we trust our own being, which allows us to embrace life fully. It dissolves the veil between the spiritual and the genuine. That means we’re willing to put our nose a little bit further into the wind of complete non-knowing. The Shambhala teachings call this “living in the challenge.” People who are comfortable with that sense of not-knowing are able to do heroic things. When they look at challenges, solutions arise. From the Buddhist point of view, nirvana is attained through suffering, but for that to happen, we have to develop our minds, and we have to connect with others. Both are challenging for different reasons. It’s challenging to connect to our own emotions because they can be destabilizing. The mind is a vast place, easy to get lost. Relating with others provokes us, and sometimes people are just difficult. We have to connect with how they feel. In order to do that, we have to know how we feel. To suffer is unavoidable, but it is hard to lead when you’re trying not to get hurt. Great lives are led fearlessly by applying the loving kindness of an open heart and mind. That’s how we can be both resilient and helpful. Living in the challenge means that it is easier to accept making relative mistakes. If we are able to keep a little bit of psychological distance and accept a mistake as a healthy part of the journey, we are able to learn from it and move on. Those mistakes are like the sharpening stone of the sword. If we want the sword to be sharp, we always need a sense of what it’s rubbing against. That’s where self-reflection comes in. We use it to establish our intention. When you awaken, you take time to reflect on areas in your life to develop or improve, including relationships with friends and family: How will I lead my life today? The more you can appreciate your fortunate existence, the fresher each day will be. Confidence in our forward movement infuses life with curiosity, wonder, and play. Such splendidness comes from a mind that is doubtless about its inherent peace and strength. Such trust transforms selfish tendencies into selflessness, which is naturally expressed through a light-hearted attitude, a sign of an open mind, a spacious and gentle environment in which we can see more clearly. That is the meaning of the word enlightenment: “full illumination.” When something is fully illuminated, we see everything. Partial illumination is essentially ignorance. When our confidence is obscured, engaging in life is a process of hope and fear. If we can release ourselves from this claustrophobic trap, we have vision. We can imagine success. We become fearless warriors who see where they are going. When we believe in human dignity, we can imagine a good human existence. Imagining success, we are riding the tip of the arrow for all humanity. Not only can we lead our own life in an uplifted way, we can also uplift the lives of others. This is windhorse — inherent trust in the fundamental goodness of what’s happening, as opposed to the attitude that things are only going to get worse. It is hard to have vision when we’re afraid to look up. In that case, instead of radiating confidence, we tend to spread anxiety, hesitation, and fear. In order for fearless vision to occur, we are not afraid to acknowledge space. First, in meditation, we experience a sense of complete fathomlessness that is always available. This space by which everything can be accommodated is saturated with nonaggression, a natural part of our being. When we accommodate everything, we appreciate everything; no detail is inconsequential. Familiarity with that space gives us precision and power in leading our life. Sometimes we become too myopic to allow ourselves to experience our own vastness. That is how we create prefabricated tunnels through which we run around endlessly. These psychological tunnels are what we call habitual patterns, and they have no jail-keeper but ourselves. When we “think vast,” they disintegrate in the face of compassion and brilliance. Our space and radiance are happening all the time, but habitual patterns are usually obscuring them. Meditation and self-reflection are the keys to revealing them. Whether you feel inspired, uplifted, or in the dumps — just look at the quality of your mind and heart. Recall the moment when someone inspired your decision not to escape from life, but to lead it genuinely. Then relax, and allow your brilliance to occur. As meditators, we cannot simply hide away in our own realization. That inward personal experience is sacred, but just by being human, we have a responsibility to lead. Whatever the phase of our life and practice, we can perpetually develop our leadership skills, the ability to genuinely engage with our lives and inspire others. If we can open our minds, we can open up to what is happening right in front of us. That’s how we gain knowledge and realization. As genuine leaders of life, we are able to uplift any environment by connecting to our own magnanimity and letting other people into our field of experience. We need to be humble and bite off what we can, and at the same time allow ourselves to think bigger. Whenever we are able to contact our own confidence, we are also creating a sense of community: we are touching that timeless quality in everyone. https://shambhalatimes.org/2014/11/10/shining-confidence/

Other day I realized I was using Glutamine Supplement instead of Glutamate such important for Actualizers https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/22839-glutamate
