  1. Feeling authentic when interacting with human beings. There's always this feeling that I'm not completely being myself or that something is blocking me from expressing myself 100%. I recently became aware of this.
  2. Ugh, I'm going through a phase in my meditation habit where my thoughts are too messy. They just float by and I can't get anything concrete about them. It's like they're not tangible anymore they're just clouds that can't stay longer than a couple of seconds. I can't think straight because my thoughts escape from me. What is this? Has anyone had such an experience?
  3. I know that in order to be happy, I must become enlightened. Why am I not going all-out towards enlightenment? Why am I resisting?
  4. What frequency did you try? Delta, Alpha, Beta.. ?
  5. Did you use a phone app for holosync? If not, what resources did you use for meditating on holosync?
  6. "The results from working out take months and years to pay off." Don't you see the repeating pattern here? The pay off is Ego Boost, Muscles and being Physically Attractive all of which stem from pain of not being good looking or of social rejection/low self-esteem.
  7. Yeah, that looks amazing and stuff but the issue remains: what motivation? You can say that motivation is just to LOOK BEAST YEAH FUCK YEAH KICK THIS SHIT but then again, what difference is between doing that going shopping everyday for the best outfits? It's just Ego games in the end of the day.
  8. Thank you so much for sharing! I'm on my 9th month of my practice, and I'm facing some deep rooted insecurities which surfaced up and needed to be faced. It inspires me to see people meditating and sharing their results ❤️ Two questions: 1) Have you experienced a lot of emotional turmoil and rollercoasters from your meditation habit? 2) Have you faced any super strong inner demons?
  9. Ahaha so much positivity! Thanks for sharing
  10. 1) Are you going to release the course on powering the subconscious mind? 2) When are you going to write a book called... Mastering Life - A Western Guide to Self-Actualization
  11. Yesterday, after spending 2 days in silence contemplating, I took a really really big hit of weed. And then, I started to do Self-Inquiry. What happened was so frightening. I felt like I was wearing Virtual-Reality glasses and everything was part of the game. Everything was unfolding as it should. I wasn't controlling anything, things were just happening (just like in a movie). There was so much harmony in other people's movements. It felt like they were just mechanical toys. Other people were just characters in a movie. Everyone was equal in that sense. Every control I thought I had, I hadn't. Really, life is just like a big VR Game. It's really just a big VR Game. My personal experience didn't change, I didn't see things pretty lights or colors. Nevertheless, I saw everything from a higher perspective. Which I believe can go much much much higher. This is all just a big game. It's absolutely terrifying to give up on control... or give up the illusion of control. This made me wonder that to give up control is very, very frightening. I mean, every ounce and bit of control, you will let it go! Absolutely everything. How will I have the balls to surrender everything to God?
  12. It shattered a lot of illusions. Even though the trip was 2 days ago, I still feel a huge shift in consciousness. Maybe it's permanent?
  13. How did you experience it? On weed too?
  14. @Leo Gura I think I'm experiencing the dawn of the witness. I now get it, the witness. Everything is unfolding. My thoughts are unfolding. My body is unfolding. My introspection is unfolding. The words in my head are unfolding. The sensations are unfolding. Everything just is. Phenomena is unfolding. t's all a big movie... It's all a big Virtual Reality game. Where am I, who am I. How do I move beyond this point? I got this point through doing Self-Inquiry after a huge dose of weed yesterday. It's just a movie... just a movie...
  15. I'm so sorry guys Mooji could not find time to meet with my friend yesterday... we couldn't stay there another night so we left. I'm thinking about joining a 7-day retreat in September.
  16. Top 10 Values: Truth Understanding Purpose Personal Growth Joy Productivity Connection Contribution Freedom Independence
  17. I have just finished taking the Life Purpose Course. I've done all the assignments, visualizations, exercises and watched all the videos. Here's my review. It's an amazing course. I've found a lot about myself and what my trajectory my life is going to take. I've found what's most valuable to me and what I love most to do in life. It has motivated me to live my life in accordance to my values and strengths and has given me the proper wisdom to do so. To everyone who's thinking about taking this course: just do it. I found that a lot of fear and resistance popped up, which expresses itself in a stream of thoughts that goes like the following: What if I waste my life and never attain enlightenment? What if this isn't actually what I should be doing with my life? This will take so much work. What if I'm a lazy twat and can never get motivated and deep in my life purpose? What if I give up? What if I just dabble around? What if the resistance is greater than myself? So, if you have any doubts like those above, know that you're not alone and you're not broken.
  18. I understand and develop systems of thinking to create technology that can understand the Universe.
  19. Then you're doing it too intellectually. I feel a boost in awareness and I feel that I'm becoming much more spontaneous and care-free. There are times where I just stop and realize that whatever I'm doing is just being done. There's no one doing anything. Those moments are becoming more and more frequent.
  20. I've been suppressing my problems with jealousy and frustration with Self-Help. This is a brutal honest report of how I feel. I need some help. I'm sick of my jealousy. Everywhere I look, to everyone I see, I get jealous. I get pain and it fucking hurts. I envy others good looks. I envy guys being amazing with women. I envy my friends kissing girls at parties. I envy the self-assertiveness of others. I envy the material possessions of others. I envy the social circles of others. I envy people's amazing friendships. I envy guys' amazing girlfriends. I envy people being excited with life and being so at ease and not having to care with any of this Self-Help bullshit. I get envy and I get hurt. I get stabbed in the abdomen and it's so painful. I'm sick of working tons of Self-Help and not being so at ease with life as other people I see. I'm sick of spending days and days just being conscious of my buried emotions and dissolving them, AND then seeing other people being at ease in life. I'm sick of always being so analytical and manipulative and always thinking and thinking. I'm sick of not being super excited about life. I'm sick of other pretty people having exciting lives and doing cool shit and then being envy of them. Why the fuck can't I just be happy like other people I see? Why, since I can remember, do I have to be constantly judging and labeling and analysing everything. Why can't I just live life? I'm apathetic, frustrated, hurt, unmotivated and having thoughts of shooting myself in the head to end this misery. Deep down, I know Self-Actualizing is the most valuable stuff I could be doing but I still get sad with my life situation sometimes. It's not that I'm depressed. What can I do to just stop this negative emotional/thinking rollercoaster?
  21. 1) What's the thing you most want to share with us in the future? 2) What's the top 3 most outrageous and incredible things you have found in all of your research? (that you haven't made a video out of) 3) Besides Enlightenment, what's something incredibly unknown in modern society?
