    @Ramu I am no expert and I haven't "opened it"

    I would say that it would be good for you to read about it, my dad knows a great deal on yogic meditation, he says that the chakra connects us to our guru, and I tend to believe so too.

    But I think that's just a metaphor (I think the guru is just the "real self", wholeness or as Leo would put it "nothingness"(or at least a real guru would try to make us see that)) either way, just focus on perceiving reality, feel that location for what it really is, without worrying or trying to get to a goal, that would be the real approach to me. 

    But still, I'm no expert, if you want deeper insights, I would suggest for you to read Swami Satyananda, or Niranjananda approach to chakras.

    I know this is going to look too long to read, but I'm going to put you in context:

    So, my dad is already 66 years old. He has been dealing with a bipolar disorder from when he was 21. 

    He gets this maniac intervals when he just does crazy stuff, and now he is in one of them.

    Basically, he was in a rehab center where they took care of his marihuana addiction (since it triggers his crises), and he had been there for already like a year, and my half-brothers didn't want him to get out from there, there is a heritage situation there, and they basically are looking for money, he got close to me, and he was acting like an intelligent man, but very different than what I am used to, because he has never been generous, he has always been cheap even to himself, and then he was trying to figure my life out money-wise for the first time, 2 days ago he came here for money I was saving for him, and I gave it to him, and I gave it so he could pay a debt he was into, and get the right pension (it was cutting it in half). Now he is gone, he went away, and I am really scared of what might happened, he might hurt himself, or hurt others, he has done this before PLENTY of times, but I am scared now because he feels so betrayed, though he is really manipulative, and in the end he just ends up with no money, and comes back here so we can take care of him. He already told me he is not going to pay his debt, and I know he has a limited resource that in his situation is not going to last.

     

    Right now, I can't do much, but I have 2 questions for you guys, if you could help me out here.

    1. If there are people here who KNOW about bipolar disorder, do you have any advise to persuide him to come back and do the right thing?
    2. I know I'm having compulsive thoughts, and I don't want this to rob my life, because right now as Leo would say, this doesn't even exist. But I can't help but worry about him, and about my half brothers who are blaming it all on me. Yes I meditate, and yes I've seen (I think) all of actualized videos, So right now, this is a turning point for me, I am living what a "hell-mind" would look like when I'm thinking about this. I know I can actually take advantage of this and change, (because my life is sort of not going smoothly well as it used to) do you have any advise to just get out from this stronger?

    I've been dealing with this my whole life.

    I am currently going through  a stressful period of my life, and I have like this automatic mind that just goes and grabs cookie, after cookie to numb the "pain", and after that I get sort of depressed, so I don't show up to life. (literally, I stop going to uni, I stop caring about myself, I stop just living) because I feel so bad for my actions, (I do workout, but my main issue is diet) then the cycle repeats, and it is like an exponential function.

    Do you have any mantra, or mind game to stop my unhealthy addiction?

    I'm going to quote my "meditations" book from Swami Satyananda here,

    "It is the famous eye of intuition, through which one who is physically awakened can view all events on both the physical and psychic planes." 

    When I've concentrated on it, I feel I'm part of a higher consciousness, as if I were guided. Though I know that's my predisposition to feel it that way, since I've studied it. I think chakras might be just a belief, we are just believing on its power, and maybe by believing feeling it?

    1 hour ago, Leo Gura said:

    We have folks literally across the entire globe. With a majority in the USA, Canada, UK, Europe & Australia.

    Here's a map of countries that purchased the life purpose course:

    Right now the forum population is too small to do effective meet ups. Once we reach a large number of forum members, then I'll look into some way to possibly enable this.

    In general the Actualized.org audience is global. Which might explain why ya'lls English is so damn sloppy! ;)

    Hey, I am from Bogotá, COLOMBIA. 

    Leo, it's Colombia not Columbia, and I know this is not very important, and maybe ego driven, (well, actually ego driven) but imagine people saying you're living in Las Vagas? and from The United Space?

    We Colombian people tend to clear that up, because we expect people to know how to spell it, and yes, yes. I know this is not important, but well. let's say I'm gonna point it out.

    Probably "How to stop caring what other people think of you"

    But I downloaded the audio for "True Vision - I Reveal My Life Purpose Until You Can Feel It"  and I've listened to it so many times, and mainly the last part, when he cries a little bit.

    And I really think that one makes me think a lot, and even though it is not that spiritual, and maybe worships the ego, it is just so brutal, it's like I can see Leo as my own ego, and it just brings out layer after layer.

    "A Waking Life" it's an animated movie with deep philosophical conversations, it covers enlightenment and it is just beautiful.

    "Into the Wild" It's a true narrative about this young guy who travels alone to Alaska and goes through life managing to survive as basically a "cave-man" it really made me think a lot.

    "Mr. Nobody" just watch it because it's beautiful and deep of knowledge.
