It's true for my dad. He tells me with pride stories from his childhood when he got the best marks and always puts himself as an example that I should follow. He just doesn't understand that I don't have the desire to compete with anybody. My dad always felt pride in being better than other people. My mom is different though. She's a typical stage orange person who values success over everything else. She doesn't compare herself with anybody but she does compare me to others. She wants me to live up to her expactations and always tries to put me in a rat race.

In my meditation practice I faced a pretty annoying problem. I noticed that I can't meditate productively after not getting enough sleep the night before. And the problem is that even if I sleep 7 hours I can't meditate without facing sleepiness/drowsiness problems. To properly meditate I need to sleep at least 8 hours but my life conditions don't always permit me to sleep those 8 hours. It's really annoying when I haven't slept 8 hours one night and my meditation session gets ruined. And the fact that I'm a night owl adds on top of that. Give me some advice on how I can meditate better when I hadn't the opportunity to sleep 8 hours.

I face that problem too. It's really a shame when such an effortless thing as meditation starts feeling as an obligation. I think the problem is in moralization. We shouldn't say we should meditate

Thanks for the advice. Really helped me not to doze off today

The same happened to me

Hell yeah! Ego is not bad. It's bad if it controls you. Ego is there for your survival and your job is not to eliminate it entirely but to get complete control over it.

I already did it and had the same thing. But it affected only my good hand. By the way the experience was mad. The spasm was really strong so even if I pushed my hand into normal position it would get twist back up

My cuestion is really that simple. I don't know if I can do it because I can't stretch my arms like Leo does in the video with my hand broken. I can still place them in a comfortable way though. I know it's a stupid cuestion but I just don't want to play around with serious things like shamanic breathing.

Same thing happened to me but only to my good hand. My broken hand was ok and this incredible energy peak just affeted my good hand

I'm very curious about how language is being constructed and what does shape it the most. Thinking about it I came to the conclusion that climate and nature can be a factor. I myself know Spanish and Russian so i notice this. Spanish for example is a very melodic and "light" language same as spanish climate but russian tends to be harder and less melodic very much like russian climate. Do you think it's possible that language is shaped by climate and nature?

I don't think he's entirely turquoise yet. Although he has hit it and it's just a question of time

I want to share with you an insight about what is courage that I had a few days ago. Courage at its root is a result of a desidentification with your ego (body and mind). If you don't associate yourself with body and mind there's nothing to fear. Absolute courage is only attainable by full enlightenment. But in normal life we see people that are not enlightened but still have a lot of courage in them. That's because some people are more capable then other to desidentify with their ego in dangerous/challenging (not necessarily fisically, it can also be psicologically dangerous/challenging) situations. The more actualized and less egocentric is the person, the less this person fears. Give your thoughts on this little insight that I had.

I think it's better to remove reputation and ranks. That really makes me feel like I'm in a society (which it shouldn't feel like in my opinion). And it also adds a hierarchical and social element to it which I think is unnecessary and is making things worse. Good content will always be spotted because it's normally noticeable by the title.

I notice exactly the same thing. You described it very well. The most important thing is not to think that you're not interested in writing or that you're a bad writer.

Today I had a very weird experience that I want to share with you. Today I meditated using Leo's guided meditation and felt extraordinary sleepy during meditation. It felt like I was going to fall asleep if I continued to meditate but I still continued and suprisingly I didn't fall asleep (although sleepiness didn't go away). But when I finished meditating I realized that I'm not sleepy at all and weird shit started happening. My body felt very weak (as if I was ill) and I literally couldn't think. My head was just empty and felt as if there was a hurricane. Also I was in a state in which I never have been before in my life. It's hard to describe but it felt as if everything around me was a movie. I felt no emotions at all. I stared at everything around me because it felt so weird. This state lasted for about 30 min and then I came back to normal. I don't know if it was because of meditation or because of something that happened with the weather that made me feel so, but I have never experienced that. I doubt that it was a mystical experience because I didn't have any realization or a "aha!" moment and because it was rather negative than positive (felt rattled, my head was a mess and my body felt as if I was ill). Did somebody here experience anything similar and can someone explain what was that?

Did you get that from "Blade Runner" 1998?

I've been meditating 5-10 minutes every day for about a year (sometimes falling of course) but can't see any results. Is it normal or should I just meditate more? Because right now I don't think that 5-10 min per day are enough to get me anywhere.

But can meditation and reaching enlightenment be compared to a gym?

1) Because I meditate for just 5-10 minutes which I don't no if it's enough to get enlightened. But right now i'm thinking of getting rid of time completely. 2) I use "do nothing" technique 3) Before meditation I feel a bit forced to meditate (but not much really), during meditation I feel pretty calm and peaceful (sometimes hiperanoyed because of ego backlashes) and after meditation I feel more concious.

I've done that one. It's the best option But now I'm thinking "is time really important"? I think I should meditate until y feel that it's enough.

I think you're right. At least it should be 20 min and 1 hour would be perfect

That can be the case. Even though I don't follow time so strictly, I just wrote the medium time. But you're probably right that it's not always pleasurable for me to meditate. I think I should meditate without a timer because it distracts me.

It may very well be the case

Explain how government works in general and analyse specific governments of important countries like: USA, China, Russia and some of the european countries. That would be really cool to watch an episode like that because it would be very helpful to understand politics.

I'm not a person who wears glasses but I just wonder if its posible somehow for a person who does wear them to improve their vision and not need them anymore without any operation? Modern medicine tells us that its not posible but let's not forget that modern medicine wins millions of dolors from glasses industry and eye operations. So why would they tell people how to improve their vision without glasses if It's benefiting them? Give your thoughts on this.
