    @Natasha To study the integral map, you need to be an integral thinker and it be intuitively right.  If you can make integral theory up as you go along, then that's a good sign you're ready to study the map properly.

    Eckhart Tolle is probably more up your street , no?

     

    He was. I've kind of outgrown his teachings, though, and am ready for some 'meat'.

    I think transcending ego would be a better alternative. That way you can still enjoy life and do fun things, while being grounded in the awareness of what you are existentially. That's where enlightenment work and self-actualization can go hand-in-hand. If you try to 'kill'/ neglect one or the other, life can get very unbalanced.

    @Nomad What are the signs of a cult that are present in Actualized.org? I agree that Leo's approach is radical, but call it a cult? Cult members are brainwashed into becoming psychologically DEPENDENT on the leader/ cult system. What Leo encourages us to do here is to be INDEPENDENT thinkers. I doubt many on here would follow him to become yogis, but many will go out to realize their potential and help make this world a more conscious place to be.

    Man's brain is wired differently from that of female. Their left hemisphere (logic, abstract thinking, etc) is more dominant than the right hemisphere responsible for emotions, communication, etc. We process thinking differently. It's not that he doesn't want to do these things, he just biologically is not equipped to do emotions like us, women. The good thing is that he is willing to broaden his understanding of how you as a woman feel. Huge credit to him for trying. Working with/ around younger people also makes him feel more alive. You'll understand this once you hit 65 yourself ;)

    Men can also naturally compartmentilize. This is actually a pretty handy mechanism to keep all the stuff in your brain more organized. Women, on the other hand, has a tendency to put all their eggs in one basket, so to speak. If one thing doesn't goes well, everything doesn't go well. Which is most of the time not the case. Once you start learning about enlightenment, you'll find out that reality is actually quite neutral and everything is just the way it is, neither good or bad. It's our ego that interprets it one way or the other. Have you watched any of Leo's Enlightenment videos yet?

    HOW ENLIGHTENED ARE YOU?

    IF....

    If you can live without caffeine,

    If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

    If you can resist complaining,

    If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

    If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

    If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him or her,

    If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,

    If you can face the world without lies and deceit,

    If you can conquer tension without medical help,

    If you can relax without liquor,

    If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

    If you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion, gender preference, or politics,

    --Then you have almost reached the same level of spiritual development as your dog!

    Max agrees ^_^

    @OceanJjb What are your reasons to want to divorce your husband? Is he being abusive in any way? Sounds like he is putting an effort forth to work on the relationship with attending counseling with you and taking an online course. He is also at the age when people feel the finality of life more acutely and just want to have comfort and peace. I'm just trying to understand why you don't want to be married to the man anymore. Could you talk about that?
