  1. hi, after watching the video on how psychedelics work, I started wondering how does reading work considering that books are conciousness some of the points I wish to be discussed on the video are: - what are books existentially? - how does reading books transform, grow and change conciousness?
  2. buy Leo's booklist and read the 5stars rating ones
  3. good lessons of dedication, perseverance and not giving up
  4. Bear Grylls biography
  5. try reading the book "Breaking the Cycle" by George Collins and Andrew Adleman
  6. hi, anybody can share a trusted site where I can buy psychedelics? I am from spain. ty
  7. Hi, I need some thoughts on this. Even though I consider that my english is very good, I feel like I don't fully "connect" with what I read or watch (Leo's vids) and not getting the results that I'm supposed to get. Do I need to fully master the language? Should I do self-help only in my native language?
  8. hi, I'd like to know how much % better results you get by reading paperbooks.
  9. you understood my question and I'm asking this with the hope of finding someone deeper into this that can save me the time of finding this by myself. because you really only can drag a conclusion for this after lets say 100 books read in each of the two ways (something that I don't want to have to test my myself) on the internet, I've only found answers in terms of price, comfortability, space ...
  10. I need an answer from someone deeper into personal development and not in terms of price or comfortability but development results. Does it make any difference in terms of conciousness growth getting the books in paper, digital or audio?
  11. science is good, no doubt about that but the problem comes in when people forget what scientific thinking is or take it for something else, as Leo points out in his video and that is taking it as a lense through which one sees and understands life. that's not playing by what our nature is, by what a human is. science is done with thought and we all know what thought is. we use scientific thinking to bring things around us to our understanding but reality doesn't work by the "thought system", this is the reason science doesn't have a theory of everything yet and even if it will someday, that will still be a "map of the territory".
  12. I am a sorta "follower" of athene. I recommend you all to check his story and charity and scientific projects he's been working on (very inspiring) and he's written a small book also. I too was curious about the relation betwen his work and personal development but I, as Leo said in his reply to this post, think that it's still science, it's still the map of the territory, it's still knowing/understanding of being and not actually being, it's still ego illusion no matter how accurate. personal development is not to be approached with the scientific mindset because science is understanding, mapping, calculating not being. on the other hand, science is not to be approached with a being approach. a yogi can't get you the math to get to the moon, he will tell you that he is the moon lol. this Leo's video explains my point

  14. Hi, I heard Leo say in one of his videos that we humans are the only creatures to live by an ego which has led me to the question are animals and plants enlightened and not identified with their bodies, minds, etc...?
  15. I'd go for both since personal success, in my opinion, is more important than professional success
  16. is yours like your mouth's voice sound?
  17. we and life don't come with manuals so we have to make them for ourselves
  18. religions steal things from what we are and what life is, most commonly being spirituality, working with the subconscious (praying) and how to deal with others and they overwrite/modify and nest those things with supernatural stories, illogical rules and trash of all kinds and there you have it, a new religion. now go and convince everyone you can reach that they must live by it and that doing those things without this filter will get them in hell forever people who get into religion and never get into personal development will actually think that religion holds all those things. both religion and personal development are guides, they don't hold anything. all jokes aside, for your growth it's better to do brute personal development. there are good life advices and teachings in religious books that were good at their time but in 2016 with all that we know and all the material we have, religion fails drastically in offering wisdom and teachings to base your psychology and way of life on.
  19. anyone has thoughts or treatment information of this disorder?
  20. I'm asking this because Leo said that he tried kindle and that he wasn't getting the results he was expecting and that physical copies of the books is the way to do this. So I'm wondering how much better can it be, because I don't have many books for now and I'd want to know which route to take cause it would make my life so much easier getting them in digital format. On the internet all I see people say is that it's a matter of preference but if Leo said so...
  21. what are the areas of oneself that one should focus on in life? thank you.
  22. I first related what I'm going through with that but now I realized that what causes me the loss of personality state is actually the sound around me, of any volume. With ear plugs I'm quite "on earth" but without them it's just horrific. Anyone with a theory? thank you
  23. can't wait to see Leo's reaction
