Very simple and quick exercice (30 minutes). Just ask yourself, what you truly know about life in general, and be really precise about how you know these things. Here is what I got: The things that I don't know: I am born: I only know that through my parents, I never saw my birth certificate nor any pictures of it, and even if I did, it would just be a paper and a picture -> That's a thought. I'm going to die: Apparently, science tell you that a certain point you'll die, but I never saw people die except on TV, and even if I did, I'll only see a body which couldn't move anymore, what about the mind/spirit/consciousness -> That's thoughts/assumptions. The sun exist: I can see it, and I can feel its warm -> But right now, yeah, it's a thought ! The moon exist: I can see it -> Same thing :3 What is reality: I couldn't even answer to this question, the only thing that happened was me starring at the room trying to find an answer ^^ The things I know: Other living beings exist: I can see them and I can touch them, I also can interact with them. I can't know what they are thinking about, nor does how it feels to experience life as their body/mind, therefore I don't know if I'm the only conscious being alive, It feels like I'm the only one. Logic/rationalization is limited: I remember all the times I thought I was right, with lots of arguments to back me up, and everytime I was wrong in the end, or it always felt that the truth was slipping through my fingers. I am not my thoughts and my emotions: I can dissociate myself from them, and I can feel space around them, therefore I cannot be them. I want to know the truth: That's what my intuition is telling me to do, and I have no clue what intuition is, other than a weird knowing that I have to do certain things without knowing why.

What makes you think that you ever saw reality until now ?

He means that you have to see through your false sense of self (the ego) and realize there is only one being that exist (god, consciousness), That this thing is essentially you, and therefore, you can't die, you never will, and you never did.

Would starving help to force your presence into pure being ? Let's say you only meditate and be all day, wouldn't it make the process of realization shorter, or does it have nothing to do with it ?

You say that like he was your best pal, where are the sources ?

Ok thanks

Delusion #1: Thinking that love comes from an external source, yep after your 5th divorces, maybe you'll start to hear what we're saying here. #2 is when you think you're right when you're delusional as fuck, I struggle a lot with this one sometimes Almost shocked when someone give back, like "what are you doing, really ? Oh ok, that's nice, thank you !"

Meditate every day for 20 minutes, no excuses.

Ohhhhhhhhh ...

When you realize you can't locate yourself:

You're reponsible in the sense that you can always choose how to live the present moment. EDIT: Well, if you're conscious enough to see through your emotions, otherwise you're a robot.

Make sure you're not bullshitting yourself, because that's a lot of text, and a lot of justifications and rationalizations.

If you really can't go to a retreat, go out the all day into a forest or a plain, and only come home to eat. The only limitation here is your own will.

Is there any french guy in here ? I'm searching for workshops in France, and aside a Sesshin retreat I didn't found anything. If someone know some good workshop/gurus to experience in here it would be nice to share

<----- Literally my face when I read the last 6 words.

This is the most important ^^ It doesn't matter how much sexy, smart, or funny you are, if you don't make the effort to please her in bed, it's all gonna fall down one way or another (unless she's a carpet). Now if you're a virgin or have very little experience, that might be a problem, but not because you don't have any experience. It's mostly because she's gonna wonder why, why does a guy that attracted me is still a virgin/have little experience ? Is he asexual/gay, or is he faking confidence ? The trick is to know that you'll probably fail, but not because you're not sexually experienced, but because you'll be needy and won't be grounded in yourself, you'll see her as the women that finally saves you, you'll put her on a pedestal (you won't fuck her like you should because of that), and she will hate you for that. So meditate and do personal developement like a motherfucker, THEN FAIL, realize that you don't need a women, meditate and do personal developement like a MOTHERFUCKER, and then if you feel like it, search an another woman. The kind of women you'll be attracted and that you'll attract will be very different, and the relationship will be way much more interesting and satisfying. WHY ?! Because the relationship will be a bonus (you'll already be happy on your own), because you'll stop being fake, because you'll see the woman in front of you like a full fledged human being, and not some goddess without any flaws. Hope that helps

Do nothing and observe your feelings/thoughts. This is extremely difficult to do, but this is also the most effective process.

Don't close your eyes if you do it while in bed.

Leo always remind people they shouldn't do drugs if they aren't doing self-developement seriously, there is even a warning message. This is a problem yes, because many people think they master everything, and will still do it and failed, but for people who are really doing shit to work themselves, these videos are helpful. So what should Leo do, not capture these videos and not helping those who could understand it, or capture it and maybe crushing emotionally some people here and there (which could indirectly lead them to the path later) ? Well, it's expected, the more Leo talks about it, the more you'll hear it here. You can either accept it or fight it in your mind, but that's not gonna change, it will only get "worse" in your perspective. There is nothing to be sorry of, I'm trying to help you I know I seem too serious/cold, and I'll work and that, but I just want to help some people, that's all I want.

That's what I want to find out too. If I can already calm the mind to the point where I don't even think (for like 95% of the time) just by walking for 1 hour, and see and feel reality different because of it, I wonder how far you could go by meditating hours and hours in a forest. Yersterday, after 45 minutes of walking, I really REALLY feel like some trees was alive, it was so sharp and beautiful that I had to stop walking for a while. There was also two horses, and when I looked at them, it felt like I was watching myself (sort of, don't remember exactly, but it was a feeling close to that). Now everything is reality, but as a newbie, it is way much easier to see this kind of stuff in nature, then on animals/people, and finally on "inert" man-made objects.

Spring, plz cum fast

If you think it's gonna solve all your problems and that you're neurotic and or dogmatic about it, yes.
