    @Red-White-Light

    Going to college gave your life meaning.

    It allowed you to wake up in the morning with a sense of purpose, a sense of belonging to a community and it made you feel that what you do in class today will make the future much better.

    Leaving college removed the meaning that it supplied to your life...which is why you feel depressed, you are now empty of  "college meaning".

    The goal is to find work, friendships and hobbies that will slowly add meaning to your life. Doing nothing all day is a sure ticket to depression.

    Mark Manson's book "Everything is Fucked, a book about Hope" is a masterpiece on the topic of depression and how we can create meaningful lives.

    Ever noticed that an elastic band resists the process of stretching itself ?

    It does not want to stretch, and if you allow it, it will go back to being small.

    Why is that?

    It doesn't want to pop (fail).

    Just like an elastic, we resist stretching ourselves because we fear that we might pop/fail.

    So resistance arises due to fear of failure.

    But the thing is, unlike an elastic band, whenever our comfort zone stretches and pops, it can heal itself together, and wherever it heals, it becomes stronger.

    This is my current vision board, but I am refining it now. Working mostly on developing skill and technique to be a singer. I have just began using this forum, and to me this seems like the best place to share everything I have been working on with the life purpose course; Vision, Vision Board, and especially the Me Sheet. Sharing progress, passions, insights, and interests...yea this seems like the best!

    @Lucas Kehr Hi...I love the picture in the bottom right corner...the one of the man holding the girl. Where can I get that? need it for my vision board.

    Meditation by itself would not be enough to make teens interested. 

    Call it a Wellness Group instead and incorporate all kinds of wellness practices: cooking healthy meals, yoga/exercise, hiking trips, have discussions on mental disorders that young people face like depression, anxiety, anger, have guest speakers like psychologists come in and speak about wellness, ect.

    So yea...diversify it and people would be more interested.

    Meditation is awsome but its gonna be a bit boring if its the only thing you do...especially for young people.

    I can see how being successful in any field often requires a person to take action that goes againts the norm. 

    So I wonder if this counter-intuitive approach could work with Youtube ?

    What if I demonetized my channel, which would then give me the creative freedom to incorporate music and video from other creative persons?

    This would make the videos much more creative. 

    Then my work would be so good that people would want to support on patreon.

    What do you guys think?

    When you Reveal the truth about who you are...your mind no longer needs to constantly have a cover up story.

    Hiding or withholding information causes our minds to constantly try to find the perfect arrangement of words (or story) which makes us seem better than we actually are.

    Admit it...you are fucked up! And so am I

    the image that we have of ourselves of being this "decent, polite" person represents a very limited aspect of who we are, because our experience constantly contradicts with this self image...we get angry at our neighbor, we are attracted to the 16yr old girl and we like to smoke pot.

    So there you have it, a self image which says one thing and while direct experience says something totally different.

    When reality contradicts self image, the mind struggles to make sense of this.

    Telling the truth of who you are frees you from the mind's constant chatter of trying to cover up the truth.

    So what are your secrets? What are you hiding? I'm afraid to post mine...but hopefully you guys will inspire me to do so by starting first!

    He has fell into the trap of calling himself a master on his way to mastery. This dude embodies nonduality but lacks epistemic knowledge. Psychedelics would deeply humble him, so would yoga and meditation but he think he has got it all. I honestly appreciate everything he is doing despite my opinions of him. Besides, he is not for everybody to watch, you need a lot of maturity to read between his lines. His vibe, passion, and intention is what keeps me watching, also he talks to his viewers so Im studying the dude so I can offer him something of significant although he seems to be very close-minded. He forsurely falls into the same traps he tells others to avoid. I love mycellf;)

    Peace Reflection...I love myself 

    Agreed man...he has such a powerful way of delivering truth.

    I think Natureboy and his group would benefit enormously if they started doing psychedelics. One time I asked him if he would try psychedelics and he said "I am a psychedelic"

    I have actually been hoping he sees some of your content and you see some of his because in my mind, if both of you were fully intregated by an individual, there would open up a new dimenson or a new prespective of previously undiscovered insights. 

    Naturboy has seen Leo's videos (or at least one) because I saw him comment on one recent video titled :

    "What is Perception? The Metaphysics of Perception"

    @Vipassana lol yes...he was doing so well when he was on the journey all by himself. 

    I think he makes a good case study because it just shows how important embodyment is and how difficult it can be to run a spiritual community.

    I am not here to criticize...I actually want to see Naturboy and his group prosper and grow spiritually. His mistakes as a spiritual teacher have taught me a lot and I wish you can learn from his flaws as well.

    ________________________________________ 

    Ex-stripper and Gay pornstar by the name of Eligio Bishop claims to be The Messiah...the Christ...and he has started a spiritual community in the jungle to get himself and his followers away from "babylon". 

    The group goes by the name Carbonation, and although their intentions may be good, it has all gone south recently. 

    Polygamy and a belief to aviod contraceptives has been a bad combination...when members of your tribe enter with various STD's: herpes and HIV included.

    Naturboy's main flaw is that he lacks embodyment of truth. Spiritual practices like meditation, yoga or psychedelics are ignored. The guy can theorize and spit out explanations for everything...the universe, God, Ego, sexuality, science and even astrology BUT...

    at the same time, he manipulates his members, he lies, he is in chronic state of anger and frustration, he debates with everyone who speak out againts him and always plays the victim.

    Studying this man can give you HUGE insights about the traps involved in doing spiritual work.
