@LifeEnjoyer Just watched it after listening to the book. I really enjoyed it @LoneWonderer Silly and Childish? I think you may be taking it too seriously. Then again, I get enjoyment out of children's movies (I will watch Super Mario Galaxy and probably enjoy it) I don't feel embarrassed about enjoying stuff like that. I felt like phm was good with scientific realism as far as science plus fiction can go. In the book, they had more details about many things. It was more graphic and had language. I think you would like that better, but I don't understand your qualms with the movie, so I am unsure. Did you watch Marty Supreme? I am curious about what you thought of that one

I never replied to this, my bad. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. I read over it once or twice these last few days. I agree with you. I think I may have fallen into a similar place. A lot of bypassing, but I burned through most of what I could and now am living a familiar loop. I CRAVE that masculine energy it seems I am lacking. I believe I should put myself into a big challenge and stick to it, kind of like you said. The thing is, I think commitment and mastery of things is worth it. I feel it within myself that I would like that a lot... So it is time to commit and build. I feel like I knew this answer the whole time. It's just about being willing to go for it and learn. To look silly but to do *something* anyway. I know the biggest regrets of the dying, I know what leads to a spiritually bankrupt life, etc. It's about actually moving and being honest with the things I lack right now in this world, but still want to have.

I will look into that book. It's true, I don't know what it is. I guess the answer is simple, but I don't want to admit it. I don't know my thing. My thing is created through doing things, as you said.

You are right. If I don't have the tools, I can find or make them... I never would have "wanted" my life to be where it is today, but results were made in areas one way or another. Certain tools worked slowly. Time to find some new ones or start using what I stopped using.

I used to watch him a lot. He has a lot of good information. He could have a solid video for this. I will see. Thanks

@aurum I guess nothing has felt "right". It feels like i would be wasting my life learning things i don't care about just to get by. Maybe I need to stop being idealistic and settle for less I guess. I just know i will regret not fully living, but what I'm currently doing doesn't feel like "living" either i suppose. I can't have it all. I look at people like Leo and see a glimpse of what is possible if you really go for it. I'm just having a hard time knowing what "it" is going to be for me. I've always had a hard time with it until "it" became the life i have now.

Hey. First off, I do have Leo's book list and Course. I am sure that is a fine enough place to start, but I don't believe it's the right time for me. I will tell you my situation. It's not terrible, not insane. It's advantageous in some ways. I work at a non-profit that helps people going through domestic abuse. I'm here getting paid very little, but what I get is work that feels like I'm doing something, okay. I have worked jobs that paid better in the past, but I ended up here for now. I don't even know if I should share my whole story, but I will share some parts. I have been here for around 1 year now. I started working here after I quit my last job to go all in on my side business, which failed miserably. I also did not even agree with what I was doing, and that was hard to work on because of that. My standards are higher and keep getting higher. It's at a point where I have a hard time doing the things those around me do because I am trying to minimize harm greatly. After everything seemed to crash down, years and YEARS of emotions flooded me. It became too much. I ended up bedridden, barely eating or drinking at all, for months. I ended up putting everything on the table. I had some minor guidance, but I made breakthroughs with my mind. I developed the ability to radically accept my emotions and see my thoughts as thoughts. I essentially meditated all day for months. I have felt a growing, deep love for everything. I rarely get upset. When I do, it's caught and felt so quickly that it goes away. I have become an extremely understanding, loving person. In some ways, I already was, but everything got better. Now I feel light. I feel better than I have for years and years. I found Leo's content. It seemed like the right timing for me. It was very helpful. I found it at a time when I was ready to hear it. Anyway, enough about all of that. There is more to it. I have had some mystical experiences and such now, but that's not relevant to this post. Actually, I am not sure how much of what I said is relevant... Getting to the point: Right now, I pay a little bit of rent. It's not much. I have things I would not mind doing, but I feel stuck inside this consumption-perfectionism loop. I believe I have been in it for most of my life. At some point, fear took over. I stopped trusting myself. I have some insecurities as well. They are not as bad as they used to be. They often don't exist at all. I can feel it, though. I have this gnawing sensation that it's time to START. To do something. To work on that project. My life purpose, if you will. There are so many factors that seem to slow me down. My vision is muddy. There is someone named Joe Hudson on YouTube. The kind of work he does really touches me. I love people. I know it's related to my childhood abuse and trauma, but caring for people, fully loving, and helping them find what it is they have been seeking all of this time, the thing they always had, but could not see. That is amazing. Obviously, I would only help those who want to be helped if I did something like that. So there is that, but I also love art. I have failed myself in this way, because I stopped doing it, but music primarily, then drawing, comics, film, poetry... Art is just amazing to me. I feel a STRONG calling to it. It feels as though whatever I create is really awesome. I don't mean to say it's "better" than other art. It's my own. I'm just always surprised by what can be created, and love seeing how it impacts others. I have studied content creation and online business for years, not taking much action at all. This year, I would like to change that. I am going to a conference in Canada (I am from the USA). It starts in 2 months and will be the first time I have traveled out of the country by myself (I am 23). It's about content creation. I will get to meet cool people like Dan Koe there... The issue is that I have not made much content so far. I tried, but something doesn't sit right. I don't have a direction yet. I can spew my thoughts out for all to see (everyone I know found my page), but it feels void of real meaning other than to expose myself to being on camera (I have self-image issues that linger still. (It's silly and only I care, I know, but it's getting better) ------------ With all I want to do, not wanting to copy anyone, not wanting to milk people for profit, along with wanting whatever I do to be in alignment with my life purpose, making basically no money with what seems like no real skills... What do I even do? I feel as though I have been living life on repeat for years and years now. I have learned a solid amount. Arguably, what I have accomplished is bettering the mind. That's foundational. I have a lot of "work" to do, but things do feel clearer and easier now. I still feel lost in many ways. I feel as though there is something I need to be doing, but I allow myself to stay the same. Maximizing everything that is not taking true action. I wonder if I should get a job that pays better, then reinvest that money towards health and knowledge... It's kind of goofy. I realize that nobody can solve this for me. That I must see and do more. Learn and explore. If I want to solve things, it's up to me. I know all of this, and yet somehow I still feel a need to reach out here. With my life, I just want to keep raising my consciousness, help myself and others to see their true natures / heal from trauma, be healthy, strong, and deeply engross myself within projects and art that have real meaning and are in alignment. I have not mastered survival by any means. Even making 30k in a year sounds amazing to me. That's how poor I truly am. Yet somehow, I am happy enough, not discouraged, and feel full of life. I think I have fallen into this "trap" where I feel great about having so little. I can tap into a state of peace despite everything. Then my survival pressures hit me like a truck. The dreams I have slowly floating by hit me. Not taking care of my health hits me... It's in moments like these that I see just how much room there is to grow. Sometimes I want to grow so badly that I shortcut where I am at. I accept that I am not in a place where I feel comfortable doing nothing at all times. I wish I knew what to do next precisely. I suppose I should just trust my intuition and let whatever happens happen... -------- I guess this post is sort of a mess. If anyone has anything to share after reading it, whatever it may be, I would love to hear from you. You can call me out and be hypercritical if you would like. I don't respond harshly to any criticisms. Any kind words are nice as well. Just whatever you feel like sharing. Maybe you could share a relatable story? Who knows. Much love.

Great watch.

@Leo Gura just saw you posted a RÜFÜS DU SOL song. They're amazing. It's great to see you like them too, but I am not surprised 😂

I have put 50 hours into it so far (I beat sts1 on a20, so naturally I was looking for more spire) I had to slow down because I let it consume my life... It has big issues and is easier than the first game right now, but it's fun. What do you think of it?

@Leo GuraIt is interesting how you explained what love is, and how there is nothing immoral about understanding others/loving, even if what is being loved is seen as "evil" by the world... and yet their minds could not grasp it. It truly CAN NOT be explained in a few minutes. The more you see it is all love... the more loving you are. It makes sense. They don't understand that they are fighting against your "theory" because it hurts their survival to do so. They are so stuck in survival that they can't see it's survival... I am not different. Not really. I still operate on a survival level. I am trying to figure out how to survive more consciously. That is okay. Yet I also look around and cry at the beauty of reality. Of existence itself. I had no idea Leo did that as well. I must have forgotten. It felt really cool to know I am not alone in that. It also makes sense... The shitting on the floor part was kind of funny. The hosts were like

For me, conspiracies are fine to have, but they can take you away from creating a positive impact on the world. Getting upset over things you don't truly know are real will do that. It is ridiculous to act like nefarious things may not be happening. Be that chemtrails are bad, elites are doing cruel things, and food in stores is not as healthy as farm-grown food. Maybe there is a bit of truth in these things. That's cool. There can be. So what are you doing about it? If chemtrails are bad, will you start shooting jets down? And then what? Do elites do cruel things? So do many people; these people happen to be in the spotlight, though. How does knowing this impact your ability to create a better life for yourself and those around you? I mean, what are you going to do? Just get upset? Hold it lightly. I did not say be passive, but don't let a strong belief ruin you. Food in stores not being that healthy, possibly being so modified and full of chemicals that it is killing you... Okay, is this done with the intent to kill you, or are unconscious people just trying to make extra money? What are you going to do about it? You have not even stopped consuming pizza with overprocessed carcinogenic meat, yet you are mad about this? Take some personal responsibility and do what you are genuinely able to do. Control what you actually can control. Do you want to commit your life to changing it, or is there another part of your life you would like to focus on? There are many secrets and deceptions in this world. You don't need to know the truth behind all of these deceptions. Just your own. I don't think dismissing everything is a valid approach to learning, but one has to learn what is important to focus on. That is my take.

Could you explain your perspective on why that is

?
