What are your favourite teachings of Leo from things such as wearing an elastic band and flicking yourself when you realise you are being judgemental, writing 10 things in your journal about your asshole boss lol or trying to be aware of the sensation of your ears to improve body awareness?
Feel free to post as many as you like.

Hi all.
I was looking to use shrooms for personal growth.
I have used them in the past recreationally (in company) so know about their capabilities.
Could anyone recommend if 1g is sufficient to really help me?
I want to start on the lower side due to anxiety.
Thank you.

And yes, the most persistent parts of the voice actually come from your mother, since she was there with you when you were the youngest.
Holy shit I guess he was being serious in the end! I take back what I said to mr Wind

@Vynce At my current level I really hope so. I've not quite burned away my attachments lol

Thank you all for these responses. I appreciate your time. All extremely helpful. Except you Windappreciator - You suck

I'm under the impression this is the "I" thought or the ego itself? Would I be correct in understanding this? Essentially experiencing a voice that isn't "You" and trying to manipulate "you"? Not a pleasant thing...

Hi all! A rather simple request.
Could you share some questions that you ask yourselves after a session of meditation?

What is being aware of a thought?
I'm always given extreme examples of addiction and murder being caused by thoughts.
What about insignificant thoughts like "my black hoodie needs ironed"??
Do I need to be aware of that thought.
-
@Jacobsrw take away the physical body aspect of it all. So whatever is experiencing these thoughts could not be labelled as myself? The experience is I
-
@nistake i need to give some sort of name to this experience as I'm only experiencing it so why not call it I? The thought of looking at a picture arose to my experience so why not call it I?

@Mu_ I still deeply identify with my body so yes I feel like "I" and the body are one so you asking if the body is talking I see that as just "are you talking". I have to be honest. I'll need time to ponder it

@Mvrs In this dream state i still have some sense of this physical body with feelings, consciousness, thoughts. It seems awful constant!!
-
I feel the same. Comments should be interesting to hear....

I've been reading about the "I thought" in my book and want to believe it however I don't want to follow so easily and believe it like being victim of brain washing.
I'm looking about my room. I truly belive I am the physical body and my thoughts come from my brain. I live in the materialistic paradigm.
I welcome you to argue that I'm not the physical body and help me break it down!!!

So thoughts are created (I'll not get into that just now) and go ahead and start influencing the way you act/feel etc. These negatives thoughts arise day and day out and affect you but Who are they affecting? You could say the ego/the physical body. I am not a thought myself so to what does this thought Interact with?
Can someone point me in the right direction of the topic here?

I feel this is why all my relationships never last too long. I think subconsciously I want to do this inner work.

@Kubia Thank you. Growing up with all this stuff can't be good your health. I'll try and cut things out one by one

Im 24 years old.
My sister is having a baby today.
Nothing phasing me.
Being totally honest with myself, I don't have an enthusiastic bone in my body.
This extends to every single aspect of my life.
Booking a fantastic holiday? Nope! I don't care or get excited.
New job promotion? So what!
Everthing I do? Still nothing.
I feel like the only thing that feels half good is pure escapism. A great video game, movie or tv show.
This kills my relationships too as I feel nothing but the same old nothingness.
I remain productive but I feel my productivity could sky rocket if I could just feel something.
Does anyone have any thoughts or theories or advice to give my life some shine to it?
Could this stuff be simple biology with little neurotransmitters in my brain?
Thank you.

Hi all.
I am reading the book of not knowing and I've come across a teaching that we don't actually know anything. I was given a question to ponder: "How do you know the earth is round and not flat?"
Post some questions to stimulate this thought process of realizing we know nothing.
Thank you.

@Maya_0 I would say cultivating mindfulness would be my aim at this moment.

Hi all.
I'm back with my worries again.
I've been currently working in a niche field for 6 years where I am earning a pretty reasonable salary however future prospects will probably limit me soon and I wont earn much more than what I'm on. I'm pretty content with the job however it requires me working away from home often which I hate to do. The boss is quite relaxed and there's not massive pressure on me. It's working on site and I've grown a bit weary with the job and settled - I don't know if I want to do it forever, I'm 29, and feel like I'm boxing myself in. Comfortable!
I've been offered a competitive trainee job in a completely new field where I'll get the opportunity to learn electrical engineering. It seems like a competitive maybe even stressful field where management could be quite bossy however it might be something that I take to really well, it's local, earning potential is higher and I feel like it can progress to good places over the next 10 years and it can push me to do new things and learn new things about myself.
The question comes down to do I want to risk my comfortable life (pretty content) and potentially ruin it with a potentially stressful new job full of unknowns but could help me grow as a person?
