I think the seeking of unification is deeply programmed into us. Uncovering that there is nowhere to go is part of the way we all need to go. Otherwise there would be nothing to awaken to. So it's kinda nice. Moved the thread to the "Meditation, Consciousness, Enlightenment, Spirituality" discussion board as it fits better here.

You don't need to know about it, you can just hire someone to do it for you. Also depending on the kind of your business and how much your customers love it, marketing might not be so important.

Right on. If you want to be free of this need there are two ways that I know of Releasing the fear behind that need with emotional work Enlightenment/Spiritual work Combine those and you can be free of needing anyone else. You can still enjoy social belonging. But you will be fine without as well.

You don't really need to know a lot about trading bitcoin. You can just buy some if you want to, many platforms exist that make it easy for people to buy them. Now, if you don't trust the platform to keep your bitcoins safe (hackers, fraud) then you need to make your own wallet etc. I think it's not that the economic system will change because of bitcoin rather our economic system might collapse and people will look for alternatives. Which bitcoin would be one of many others.

Highly depends, most of the time when someone says something to you, they are saying it more to themselves. Meaning, they project their inner world onto you. In your case, your brother might be dealing with a feeling of not being good enough for some reason himself. When you can figure that out you can either ignore him, help him or tell him to get lost. Also look at your own behaviour, maybe you have triggered something in him that hurt him? Which then led him to lash out at you. On the other hand, if you feel hurt by someones actions your are giving power to them. In the sense that they have the power to make you feel hurt. Do you want to give away your power? Furthermore, for relationships or family, it's often the case that we are not so much concerned with the message or details. Instead, we are disappointed with the other person because they failed to fulfill our expectations. If you feel like that's the case you should investigate what it was exactly that you hoped for. And maybe it is time to make an adjustment to your expectations and accept the other person for who they are, letting go of the desire to change them. Also be respectful to yourself, if someone makes you feel bad - you are free to walk away from them. The people we surround ourselves with, shape our lives and reality in crucial and deep ways and it's very hard to counteract that impact on your own. ❤️

What do you mean by this? You said its stuck in your sacral chakra. Ok, Im interested in the practical effect it has on you. Maybe you can give an example. What's the effect on your sleep?

No, I've not been shadow possessed. Pay attention to your thoughts. You are love. Everything you do is love and when you are shadow possessed, that's also love. What I do have are suppressed feelings, stuck somewhere deep inside of me. Wanting to express themselves. Wanting to be accepted and made space for. I've worked on that by releasing these feelings. Like I said in your last thread, impatience/low tolerance can be a good thing. While there might not be a need to get all upset and angry when your needs are not met. There is even less a need for tolerating other people's bullshit and sucking it all up, letting the anger build inside you. So, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Allow yourself to be irritated, impatient or angry. The pendulum will swing back and you will come to your center. Naturally. ❤️

As others said, it can have many aspects. Do you feel weird about what other people might think about you? Stop that. You can do some exercises and see that other people are the same. They are just in their head and think about what other people think about them. In reality nobody gives a fuck. Do you feel triggered emotionally because your needs are not met? Time to release those feelings and needs. For example you can use the sedona method or many other techniques for releasing. Do you feel uncomfortable or tense in your body? Watch this video or try some lsd. Do you feel like you are in a low conscious state outside? Practice meditation, for example gratitude meditation outside. Do you feel antisocial? Work on your social skills.

It's your choice. I'm not going to comment on it because it seems you are pretty clear on this one. You seem to be interested to understand why people find it odd. So here is my attempt to explain the men's perspective. Many man will be very frustrated with your decision. Because sex is so important for them. If they tell you they find it odd you don't want to have sex before marriage, they tell you that because they don't like your decision. And that is their way of telling it to you. Now it's really difficult for a woman to understand the men's perspective, so let's try a little example. I'm not saying it's a comparible example but maybe it helps you to feel into this. Let's just assume that woman want emotional intimacy with a man. Now picture a man who only wants to talk about his feelings after marriage. Before that, he will talk about his day, listen and explains things. But he will never say a word about how he feels. (You could add further that he would never ask her about her feelings as well). See how some woman would react to this guy? Of course there are also man who don't find sex as important or who want to wait until marriage. ❤️

@BjarkeT Very well then. I don't see a problem. You are doing everything you can for your passion and to achieve your milestones. Tell me why shouldn't you be on the internet at night? Do you not get enough sleep?

I think it's not that the internet is too tempting. While yes, sure it is very tempting. If we have something to work on the next day that we are passionate about and already worked hard that day we just don't have time to waste with anything else. What do you want to achieve or do in your life that is worth it to sacrifice internet time for you? If you can't answer this question it's obvious that your life will be filled with browsing the internet and watching videos all night long.

You can not change other people. They can only do so themselves. I think its obvious that you want to help them and have their best interest in mind. That is enough. Focus on your people-pleasing habit and work on that guilt you feel for not helping them. That is your next step and will be crucial to develop your potential. When you use more breaks and paragraphs in your text it's better to read ❤️

Look closer. What is the underlying fear of shame. What do you think are the needs behind it?

Whatever you want, more sex, a relationship or no relationship. It's usually a non-issue. You create these problems in your head by being so fixated on analogical thought patterns. When you finally realize that there is no problem and you are freed from these thoughts - that's when you really know you have grown.

Without knowing your specific situation. In general when you are less agreeable and more harsh, inside you are loving towards yourself and have low tolerance for anything that is going against your way. Ask yourself why you are that way and be compassionate towards yourself. Being loving towards yourself and giving yourself what you need in the moment is a very valuable skill. What can be tricky is when what you want doesn't align with reality. You can not fight against reality, so make sure that your way includes the acceptance of what is.

For me beauty has much in common with Love. Like a warm feeling. It attracts me and I want to connect with whatever I find beautiful. It inspires you to see the beauty in yourself. And it makes you conscious in the way that you want to be present while perceiving it and enjoy the experience. That can turn into a distraction when you get obsessed with it and can't let it go. ❤️

I did some research and what I've found is that "hyperventilation does not only reduce the total cerebral blood flow, but also changes the distribution of blood flow within the brain." http://www.anesthesiaweb.org/hyperventilation.php But is holotropic breathing the same as hyperventilation? Also, anyone knows if you increase oxidative stress on your body by doing this kind of breathwork? That's something I always wondered

Can you focus on other things for a long period of time, like something that's very ineresting to you? Some people have focus problems other people have motivation problems. For focus I think simple meditation could help. Also a lot of people in this thread claim that not drinking coffee helps with focus. If you need caffeine try dark chocolate. It has a lot of brain boosting ingredients and it definitely helps me to stay focused for longer times. Plus it tastes awesome!

Maybe the condoms you are currently using dont fit you. Try different sizes.

I like the exercise Leo gives in his video about What is Love. It starts around the 21 minute mark. Also I've found that practicing gratitude helps me to increase my capacity to feel love ❤️

Have you watched this video already? It might clear things up for you Moved the thread to the "Self-Actualization" forum because it fits better in here.

This is already the time where you start acing in life! This feeling you get right now is holding you back. You will encounter many more of these situations where a belief or feeling will hold you back. If you want to be better prepared for when these situations will come up in the future, you should start to release on your need for control. This is where you get emotional mastery. If you want you can start with this little exercise: First you have to get in your body and into the feeling that you might lose control over your business. How does it feel to think that someone might steal your idea? Also try to locate that feeling in your body. This can take some time. It helps to make the situation big. Imagine you already build your business and are making profit. But now another business is selling a copy of your product and your sales go down dramatically. How does that feel? Let it sink and turn inward for a while. Can you feel it a little bit more? Could you let that feeling go? Then ask yourself if you would let that feeling go. If you can answer yes to both these questions (should be a quick reaction, don't think about it too long), ask yourself "When do I want to let that feeling go?" And just sit with the answer. Repeat the whole process as often as you wish.

Hello CuriousCanid and welcome to the forum! Self-Actualization is a wonderful thing. You can turn your whole world upside down with it. And if you are the kind of person that has been looking for something their entire life but couldn't find it. Self-Actualization might lead you to it. But it can be a bit tricky from time to time. As I understand from your text, you use sexuality to motivate yourself on this path. I don't have experience with this but I do know that it is a powerful energy. If you found a way to harness this energy to inspire you to express your full potential, go for it! Everything that has a strong pull like sex, power and fame will often be used as a distraction from actualizing. Handling these forces whithout getting distracted by them requires a strong mind. I'd advice you to stay very alert and watch out for these traps. Let Truth and Love be your guide. And think for yourself. Don't let others think for you and follow them blindly. Regardless of who they are and what they may seem to be. If you stick with this work long enough, you might discover that you are not a lost sod but maybe Leo himself and even more! Enjoy ❤️

Don't worry. Do you use condoms for sex only? The barrier thing for girls is quite normal. Either there are emotions blocking her because she tries to hold on to something or she is afraid she will pee your bed and thats why she holds back. Communication and trust are the key. Building trust will make it easier for her to relax and let go. Check out Leos videos on sex!
