  1. I agree that people can be deceived, but surely you’re being a little bit paranoid about the intelligence of others? It’s true that most people aren’t as intelligent as you, but this is not the same as them all being stupid.
  2. Read the book Attached 10-15 times, so it can transform your mind and you can get permanent results from it. Reading it a few times isn’t enough.
  3. THIS is the avoidant trap right here. Please read the book ‘Attached’ to familiarise yourself with the concept. It will change your life.
  4. Other than your frequent posts on the forum and blog, I’m not aware of your other works. You mentioned in 2016 that you were writing a book, and here we are in 2022. You can’t blame all this on your health.
  5. That idealisation doesn’t exist. Don’t fall into the ‘avoidant trap’. It’s basically when somebody deep down is afraid of being in a relationship, but outwardly they think that they haven’t met ‘the right person’, and they use this as an excuse to keep intimacy away. Firstly, there’s no way you’ve never met a girl you’re attracted to. ‘Strongly’ is just another avoidant trap, an excuse to not be in a relationship. As for ‘click with’, let me break it to you, you will never meet someone identical to you. Everyone on this planet is different. The only pre-requisite of a relationship is that she accepts your lifestyle and values, and you accept her’s. If that is set, there’s absolutely no reason to not be in a relationship. I recommend reading the book ‘attached’ by Amir Levine to learn more about the avoidant trap.
  6. @Raptorsin7 I’m guessing you’re not the ‘loner’ type, like I expect most people here are. Do you tell them to watch Actualized videos?
  7. How much health do you need to sit in front of a camera and make videos? I think if you played less video games and read more books, you can get your old productivity back.
  8. She’s now a moderator in Nahm’s forum.
  9. @Carl-Richard It’s difficult because his videos always have some profound wisdom in it, however, there is also some Hindu bs mixed in as well.
  10. If you scan his YouTube videos, you’ll see them.
  11. @Loveeee Virtually all of the spiritual books in Leo’s booklist are a mind-based approach.
  12. Having read Neale Donald Walsch’s trilogy, I have spotted several things that God asserts that I have investigated, and found to be factually false. I will mention one example here. There’s a story that God tells about how the devil was invented. The summary is that women were in charge in prehistoric times, then men invented the concept of the devil and used it to overthrow the women and to put themselves in charge. At first I was fascinated by this fact. That women were in charge of society in the ancient past, but were overthrown by the disaffected males was very intriguing. I decided to look it up. This is what I found: “A belief that women's rule preceded men's rule was, according to Haviland, "held by many nineteenth-century intellectuals". The hypothesis survived into the 20th century and was notably advanced in the context of feminism and especially second-wave feminism, but the hypothesis is mostly discredited today, most experts saying that it was never true.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matriarchy It was extremely disappointing. When you take into account that the book was written in the 90s, it’s pretty clear what happened: God just regurgitated what people believed at that time. Although the book is still incredibly useful, I would caution believing all of the technical information. I have found several other assertions of God to be false.
  13. He regurgitates Hindu beliefs and makes us think that he discovered them independently. He’s obviously not very critical of Hinduism. No doubt there is a lot of wisdom in it, but like every religion, it has a truck load of myths. He actually takes those myths as reality and prescribes people to act on them.
  14. @Gabith His teachings are very similar to Eckhart Tolle’s. I think if you resonate with Leo’s more mind-based approach to spirituality, then you probably won’t resonate with Kahn’s heart-based approach. They’re very different.
  15. @Andrey I wouldn’t believe everything Sadhguru says. I’ve already confirmed that many of his claims are false. Just because he’s enlightened doesn’t mean he’s truthful.
  16. @Leo Gura What do you think will happen going forward?
  17. Although these women are the most extreme you will find, if you compare them to the average male maga republicans, they are saints. Kari lake was an Obama supporter.
  18. @Leo Gura If you’re actively seeking minority votes, that by itself is proof that you are not a white supremacist. Can you imagine Hitler asking Jews to vote for him? Unthinkable. I also think that the increase in female Republican politicians has had a positive effect on the GOP, since they are much less likely to fall into right wing extremism than the male politicians are.
  19. @Leo Gura The Republican Party has been trying to get minority votes a lot more lately. Trump even mentioned minorities in his recent speech, something only Democrats would do pre-2016.
  20. From my perspective there is no God. It’s just another concept.
  21. I’m in the middle of it, the part where Maharaji tells him to go back to the West. I must say he’s much more of a risk taker than I expected. Flying a plane while high on drugs, and driving across Afghanistan with Jihadis, sure does take balls.
  22. @Leo Gura I’m speaking relatively not absolutely. In the absolute realm, there would be no discussion.
