Depends what you by "potential"

What exactly do you mean by "Am I in my real life"? Pleasure

@Joseph Maynor Joseph, I'm mainly in green and I got to say, it isn't an easy ride (emotional labour MASSIVELY, draining almost).

Not about gender, it's about ego. A must listen. Hope it helps ??

@Ingit teach yourself acceptance for where you presently are and stop projecting yourself into the future. All you have is the present moment. Sounds like your striving towards a goal and then realising you aren't where you want to be and that's creating negative thinking? Solution? End the thought of the future and focus on the present. Also, practice self love and be grateful and proud of yourself for where you are RIGHT NOW.

@Etagnwo I find observing how the suffering comes about to begin with extremely beneficial, watching how it blossoms from a simple thought and then soon to be a massive problem we create.

I don't want to actualize my potential, I want to strip myself away and be more aware of the 'thought-self'. I'm more interested in the mechanics of the self rather than adding to the self. Yeah, I clearly haven't seen it holistically yet, but I've been quietly observing it in myself and others. More so fear. I haven't no, I don't want to put people out. That would be awesome thank you ❤️ Of course. Totally get what you mean and I'm not in this to solve anything, I'm in this out of sheer deep interest. Think of the self as an illusory magic trick, I want to become aware and learn the movements of the trick. This sounds amazing! Thank you so much for your time and patience ❤️?

Why the duck have I not come across this before? This is absolute pure GOLD! @Leo Gura wow! I'm using this video as a tool to transcend to yellow (as mentioned in green video) but I have a feeling this will do just more than that! Amazing, thank you! Highly recommended ❤️

Also as you know, I experience this often and your right it's beautiful ❤️

@Faceless Thank you for that beautiful response faceless, I agree with everything you said. I have been watching fear, I have been watching psychological suffering and desire seeking etc, I see it all as some kind of escape, I see it all feeding from each other and its self perpetuating but my only issue is I don't know how to take this further... To REALLY get into the nitty gritty of it and go even further. You said to thread... The only "learning" I get is from you, I've tried googling it all but it's given me nothing, it's not detailed enough. Could you point me in the right direction please faceless? Because honestly, hand on heart... I fully agree with this...

? It's horrible isn't it! Even people attending a 'birthday meal' on my behalf give's me quivers. "Let me be, on my own in a room and contemplate the next year of my life", that's exactly what I do.

@molosku ?? And bic's (shaving razor's)

(also just realised we both have tree's as avatars) ? lol!

I was brought up in a very green family but live in a very orange city/culture. I slipped into orange more and more the older I got (from teen to young adult) but always shown shades of green because of my upbringing. The shades of green I was brought up with demonstrated a lot of suffering through my life but I was able to transcend the unhealthy part's (eventually). As I've progressed in PD/consciousness work I'm now able to see I have slight shades of orange still, moved into green even deeper (but in some respects on a healthier level) and also little bits of yellow. I plan on researching lots of yellow/turquoise and delving into systems thinking in order to move onwards.

It will come to them when they are ready. Although I got my dad on to Leo and we now have regular laughs at his comedic side

This proper tickled me ? I love how honest you are. Ditto by the way...

@Faceless This really sparked my interest faceless. What's the alternative? Doing absolutely nothing? It's extremely paradoxical because when we self actualize, we are stripping away ego but your saying even self actualizing is still feeding ego?

I've often wondered this myself, can you TRULY ever transcend ego...COMPLETELY??

Another thread that's sparked my interest on your behalf sir @rounder

@Just Do Nothing All I'm going to say is well done! Well done for doing all you do with sometimes feeling the way you do ??

Greater Manchester (UK) red, blue and orange and very small hints of green

Green does care to much @Leo Gura I am currently going through that myself. It causes suffering, exhaustion, emotional labour. I am trying to find a way around to reduce it. I won't even water my plants because of the insects in and around the plant pots ? ?

? Thought it may be a useful thread for you
