I am overwhelmed by an existential crisis stemming from a complicated case of mental illness that is not adequately treated by medicines. There are multiple limiting beliefs getting in the way of my progress. How can I quickly and effectively overcome them? Thanks in advance.

Here's my situation. I have paranoid schizophrenia that doesn't respond to medicines (I've taken 16 with little to no success), post traumatic stress disorder, severe generalized anxiety disorder, and an IQ in the low 80's. These things combined makes for a life in which I have to rely on my parents and professionals for my survival. However, I have multiple techniques I use to increase my IQ and restore my mental health that have shown profound effects, however, I have not practiced them long enough to see stable changes. I'm not just talking a few iq points. I'm saying i've gotten to a level that's a jump from being dependent to fully independent. My mental illness is terrible and a lot of it has to do with being unable to relate to others. And a lot of it has to do with side effects from certain types of concentration meditation. Which has led to ego inflation in that I feel far different from and superior to those who don't know about enlightenment. Another thing I hate about myself that leads to more misery. My humanity is drained basically on a daily basis and I have lost the vast majority of my ambition, passion, empathy, and meaningful relationships. I need something that will produce profound change, immediately. If it requires pain, so be it.

Einstein thought you could stimulate ingenious thought by allowing imagination to float freely unrestrained by conventional inhibitions.

This novel concept came to me recently. Based on the idea that one can meditate during lucid dreaming, I would imagine this could add an extra 8 hours for serious practice. Has anyone tried this? Thoughts?

Hello all. Had a question about positive affirmations - I understand it takes a month to see results from affirmations (based on what Leo said in a video on them). Would this be from the same affirmation used daily or could it be from multiple affirmations, distributed into different days? Thanks in advance, Sam Euphoria

I'm interested in this meditation practice as it is very simple and not forceful like ordinary concentration meditation. However, I'm wary because concentration meditation significantly aggravated my schizophrenia before. What do you guys think? -Sam

envisioning your dreams as if they are happening in the present moment, in extraordinarily vivid detail. the practice of this is supposed to capture the emotions you would feel in these visions, which programs your subconscious mind - this helps to re-shape the self image and strengthen passion and willpower.

I've been practicing visualization for about a month, and I (sometimes) experience dramatic inspiration-fueling effects. When the visualization worked, it was like magic - I could do probably four times more personal development work than usual. I haven't been getting those types of effects from my visualization practice as of recently, and I crave those feelings of passion I once experienced. So, what are some key points/tips for doing visualization effectively and reaping the most benefits? I am a slow learner, and I see immense potential in myself as an artist, enlightenment practitioner, and yoga teacher. I need someone that would be willing to take time to teach me the ways of visualization - because from direct experience, I know it is a tool that I can use to turn my huge dreams into reality. Thanks, Sam

thanks

What are some high yield techniques for getting maximum gains from visualization? I have been spending 15 mins a day doing visualization involving picturing myself living my ideal self-actualized life in the present moment and my results haven't been what I want them to be. I've been doing this for 3 weeks. I noticed an increase in passion and motivation in the first week, but then it waned and now I'm struggling. Thanks in advance, Sam

Does anyone here know if visualization techniques are dangerous for someone with schizophrenia? I have this condition and I am very interested in programming my subconscious mind in order to get better results and fulfill my vision. Thanks in advance. -Sam

I recently watched Leo's video that talked about ways for getting out of victim thinking and into taking full responsibility for ones life and actions 100 percent. I'm looking for tips on how to go about doing this. Does anyone have any advice? Does anyone have some positive experiences with this or high yield techniques they've used? Thanks in advance, Sam

Thank you guys!

I am a schizophrenic that does not respond to antipsychotics. I am in need of dietary changes and a supplement regimen in order to get my symptoms under control. I have heard of cases where people with this disorder have overcome it through supplementation and dieting alone. I'm looking for input from people that have experience with this, or at least have knowledge of this. Thanks in advance, Sam

So, I watched Leo's video that talked about a "3 step formula for becoming ruthlessly effective at anything". The three steps were: 1. Choose your domain 2. Find a high yield technique 3. Practice the technique every single day So, what are some good techniques for developing deeper compassion towards oneself and others?
