So I was reading that book for emotional mastery, and I was wondering, if I mastered her method, could I ever be immune to all negative emotions?

So do you think it's not a distraction? -

But according to Leo, knowledge is a distraction. -

But to develop a big picture understanding you need actual real theory. Yet according to Leo, we don't want that. Should we develop big picture understanding or not? -
There are books in Leo's book list which talk about systems thinking, so check that out.

Check out Byron Katie's channel. It will solve ALL your problems

There are a lot of ways, but the book 'Loving what is' by Byron Katie will show you in a very practical way how to detach from all people and situations, no matter how bad!

I used to have almost exactly the same problem you did. I used to be very fearful and anxious about people and what they think of me, to the point where I couldn't leave my house without having this background fear and anxiety, and I could feel it in my body, as my chest muscles would be tense. Personally, meditation and stuff is good, but I didn't find it helpful at all in relieving me of my fearful and negative emotions. But there was a book that I read, called 'Loving What Is' by Byron Katie, which completely transformed my emotions and the way I feel about myself. I've been dong the excersises in that book for around two months, and 80% of my negative emotions, fear and anxiety have turned into laughter and joy. My body has completely loosened up. I very highly recommend that book, rather than doing meditation or stuff, which is good for enlightenment, but I think it'll take a long time before it can transform emotions.

Some hard shit, way beyond me! Is the technique from Adyashanti's book. -

What did he mean by 'you have to become life'? -

I guess weed is linked to psychedelics, so you could have had a mystical experience. Interesting... -

You could try contemplating on this issue. -

For me, sleeping for 6 and a half hours is a lot. Most days, I sleep less than 5 hours. -
I was reading a book where the author helped us to unattach ourselves from our thoughts. By this process, negative emotions and bad habits caused by us believing thoughts would be unwired. So I was wondering, if I am able to work on unattaching from every thought that I currently believe in, then will I become enlightened? I mean, the ego is a belief that we have, and if I am able to unattach from that belief as well as any other belief that I have, I don't see a reason why I can't be conscious of absolute truth?

So what are some examples of other things that I have to let go of, given that all negative emotions and bad habits come from attaching from thoughts. -

Make sure you grind through all frustrations that could come up during your meditation -

Are those insights that you had. or are they thoughts that you just thought up or did you get it from a book or a person? just curious... -

If all of our insights are untrue, then what is truth? -

It feels good when you act kind, so that's how you know that you should do it. -
In the book review, Leo said that he could have put this book into the enlightenment and consciousness category, so does that mean that if I do The Work long enough, I will be able to attain enlightenment?

So lately, I've made it my mission to meditate so that I can realise the fact that all sensations are impermanent. If you've read 'Mastering the core teachings of the Buddha', then you'll know what I'm talking about. Anyway, I was wondering, if I meditate every day for 20 mins, then approximately how long will it take for me to realise that sensations are not continuous.

I don't need those kind of answers gosh... -
I'm 17, but I've still not looked at the life purpose course. I intend to discover it before I finish university. Good luck with your life purpose searching.

i think this post should have went to the enlightenment thread. Great advise though.
