No @Michael569 but I do buy my own jackfruit from https://www.abelandcole.co.uk/shop/search?term=jackfruit&searchcat=products Happy jackfruiting ??

@Leo Gura Leo why did you initially show an interest in psychology?

@Shin (Did you watch the video?)

Could one be an activist without falling into the traps of ideologies?

@Shin ? "Beep bop bop beep"

@Outer I can't thank you enough for that video. I cried all the way through. Absolutely beautiful. ♥️ Beautiful quote. I am changing myself. I'm doing the best I can. And yes it has 'rubbed off' (had an effect on) on other people around me.

@Rilles Yes I was sober. I don't drink (and I hadn't done any drugs). It was like 0900 in the morning ? No idea what it was, I won't label but it happened ? ? I merged with everything everywhere for like 3 seconds clock time and then as it vanished I started puking etc

@DrewNows ♥️

Plot twist. You dont need them ? (my experience) Friendships are full of shit (Relating to Leo's new episode ?)

@Outer I'm going to kindly disagree with this based on personal experience. There's been many times during meditation shifts have happened and I've suddenly felt incredibly nauseous. Also the glimpse 'I' had, had me literally puking with a splitting hardcore headache.

Recently I've been ultra aware at how I'm trying to escape the present moment or resist it in someway. The more I've become aware of this the more I'm noticing how much I actually do do it! It's absolutely insane! Not only that but it literally causes so much suffering like anxiety, tense muscles and worry. I'm using feeling within the body as my guide. I'll notice a dramatic change & surge of emotion (it can be very hidden and minute) then that will be my indicator to observe my thoughts. After observing comes total surrender and acceptance which leads to peace and being. Please share your own experiences

I drank every weekend for many years. I secretly hated it but I did it anyway. It left me psychologically depressed and lifeless (in the body also) (to put it lightly) for the next 3/4 days and then drinking would resume again the following weekend. It messes with the whole system. I even found a little alcohol caused a slight depression and disruption. Not good

Or possible anxiety on the come up. ?

First and foremost. Test kit the F out of it (if you know it's fine then leave it). Then go to leos playlist and watch the video on how to use them for personal development. Pretty sure he mentions dosages in there. If he doesn't I apologise

@Preetom No sorry I think you've misunderstood my point. I meant, I use the sensations in my body as a guide that I am not in the present moment, I am trying to resist or escape in anyway. @Solace Absolutely beautiful to read Solace ♥️ thank you so much for sharing. Some excellent points also.

@Shin Your right shin, I was actually conscious of it happening but I didn't do enough to stop it. I got lazy. Certainly does 

Thank you! When it is not able to feed itself... EXACTLY! ?? What other ways are there? ?

This is my issue right here. This is what I cannot comprehend when it comes to animal welfare and murder. Believe it or not I'm really open minded and welcome with interest all perspectives but with this topic it 'hits a nerve' with me. I've been radically practicing forgiveness and acceptance over the last so many days and it seems to of helped the situation as a whole. I think if I keep at it I may be able to take on activism in a 'healthy' way. Thank you so much for your input ♥️

@Jack River Loving your avatar pic duuuuude ? P.s this is exactly what I've been doing and observing. Still in the early process though

♥️

@Light Lover ♥️ How have you got on with the diet?

@DrewNows Yeah you make a good point. Good perspective. Thank you. I'm now torn between yes and no ? @Shin How does taking on another ideology and then observing it help growth?

I'd answer this by labelling it 'centred focus.' Just as you would if you were watching a movie that intrigued you or picking up a book you wanted to read. Agreed also.

@DrewNows Love your input thanks so much. But I do feel it could create a stronger sense of duality with reality and I don't want that. I'm working on breaking down all barriers to embody 'oneness'. By pointing the finger at other (humans who inflict the suffering) this will create a deeper separation from the self and other. By becoming an activist I feel it could possibly feed into ego's identity even further. Trust me I really want to do it and it's torture deciding not to but I feel it could be yet another ideological trap.

@Preetom Thank you. You to
