  1. Yes great video! For me your video on being vs deficiency cognition (Needy vs non-needy perception) was also very practical. On the other hand aren't both videos the same?
  2. So what I took from the last video "what is reality?" is that consciousness creates differences. Consciousness however has no differences, it is one. So I wanted to start a list of things that are the same The streets & the cars are the same My hand & the air around it are the same Breath & an avocado are the same Pixels on your screen & gravity are the same Leos voice & a plant are the same Feeling good & feeling bad are the same The feeling of my lips pressing against my teeth & the smell of a new car are the same The floor & the table are the same My idea about a lamp & a lamp are the same Do you agree? What else is the same?
  3. Your love is very partial. Focus on your feeling of love and expand it to everything around you. If you do that you will see that there is no problem. If you want a solution to your imaginary problem. Id say enjoy your time with both. Dont tell them about the other. See how things evolve. Maybe you fall deeply in love with the new girl and live happily ever after. Or you both dont connect so much / drama / fight / life happens and you get back with your "ex". Could also be that in a few month both relationships come to an end.
  4. I was kinda looking forward for the understanding relativism part 2....
  5. Get rid of all the "techniques" and "just do this thing" type of stuff. Watch Leos video on Fake growth vs. real growth. Everything that promises fast progress with something you change externally is likely to be bullshit. Instead, go inwards. Do the dirty work you have been running away from! Work on your self-image, needs and all the neurotic thinking you have been doing your whole life (Watch Leos video on neurotic behaviour, its very onpoint). People that say "Ahh but Inner-game alone doesnt work blablabla". Thats not true! You have just been doing it wrong. You have been doing inner-game for 10-20-30 years but you are still desperately needing validation, love, control and you crave protection. That is all that you care about. And when you have it, then you are afraid to loose it. Those fears make you needy, blocked and a perfectionist. When you have those fears on a good level, then you will finally interact with people without effort! You will learn the do's and dont's pretty fast and make progress in no time really.
  6. When the emotion is there, its best to embrace it fully. So cry and feel miserable however you like. Dont try to "hide" your emotion. But ask yourself, where this emotion is coming from. What led it come out? How could it arise so fast and get so big? Really this is a good opportunity to look inwards.
  7. If you want true love stop clickbait? Its the only thing I got from it. sorry
  8. No you dont need it. You may loose some girls that are into texting a lot but thats it. Also it depends on where you meet her. Online? Yes you need at least some text. But can be very short. Outside? No, just take her to starbucks and then somewhere else. I used to avoid it but some texting can be useful so maybe learn a few things.
  9. Where I live a professor only gets so much time to truly study. A lot of their tasks are finding money, university politics, teaching the same basic stuff over and over again and in general deal with students. You might get a research semester approved if you are lucky. Good luck trying to convince the others that you are out on a 30 day retreat in the woods. Also I cant imagine the books and sources Leo relies on are seen as academic research papers. It wouldnt fit. And if it would make him financially stable, the bullshit you woudhave to do to make it work wouldnt be worth it. On top of that. You wouldnt have that many people profit from the LPC all around the world. This forum wouldnt exist. There would be no database with terrabytes of video material available at any time from any place of the earth. What you would get is maybe 1000 papers that rot on some place behind a paywall. Im actually starting to laugh at how unefficient and behind the university system is. But there are also already universities that try do be better and new forms of education are arising. Its just as with any big old company, they move slow. //This video might be helpful for you
  10. Abuse during childhood or funky brain chemistry.
  11. Its a paradox, living the easy and comfy live really is harder than doing the emotional work and pursueing the heroes journey.
  12. Yes. search for these places. Maybe research some gurus that travel from city to city and hold retreats there. Maybe search for vispassana retreats. Im sure you will find one that is willing to cover your cost of living in exchange for helping them. In the meantime maybe learn and work in a tech field, as a gardener or as a cook? Always good to have some practical skills and you dont even need college for that!
  13. Well compared to 10000 years ago, you actually dont have to be that involved with society. So be very glad about that. Today, were I live you can be without contact to society for a looong time. And it only keeps getting better.
  14. Top book for dealing with customers, authorities and people you have to talk to in your daily life, How To Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie
  15. If you like to get more into the topics of this video, Leo made seperate videos about some of them Rant Against Morality How Your Mind Distorts Reality Stop Demonizing People! God Vs Evil What Is Consciousness? What Is Perception? What Is God?
  16. Why do you want to know? Do you feel like something is missing in your life right now? Also how is your relationships with your feelings in general. Do you feel anger, fear, joy, gratitude anything?
  17. Is there anything in your life, even objects, ideas or yourself that you feel like you could love? Have you watched this video?
  18. You are too hard on yourself. Meditating for 2 years is great! You need to be very inspired and motivated to fail many times. What do you even want to change?
  19. I feel like you are mostly at stage orange and this thread is in part coming about, because you are transitioning from blue. Would you say that is correct?
  20. What do you mean with the last part?
  21. I dont disagree with your observation. Just want to add that mostly Stage Blue will push marriage. The other stages wont have such a hard-on for it. Where I live for example. I feel no push for marriage at all. Also has to do with your religion and the religion of the people you surround yourself with of course. Also prenups are a thing, so why not take it? This conclusion is flawed. For example: there are no low quality or high quality people. And if you mean it to describe their "development" (where youd have to say what kind if development you actually mean), its also flawed because people marry all the time. Regardless of what kind of development they are at or if they even like each other. Hence why so many marriages fail.
  22. Thanks for sharing this powerful video. This + Charisma on Command + Always accepting the present moment + if you want THIS video from Leo = pure gold
