@Leo Gura Then why I experience happiness when I measure myself based on my values of Resilience by accepting and engaging with challenges head on, when I question my assumptions why do I feel tranquil, when I express myself honestly then why it feels better than performance?

1) Because your top values aren't always out of alignment with truth. Sometimes they are aligned.

2) Happiness != truth. Lots of false things can make you feel temporarily happy.

3) Following your top values does genuinely increase happiness. But that doesn't automatically make it true.

So are these values listed here are better than chasing women ,money ,fame or even worse?

Bro I have experienced them to better than chasing success,sex or women and fame . It has been proven counterintuitive to me after years. So yeah suffering changed me for the better- experienced this and I am saying it proudly .

On Sacrifical Religions

Human sacrifice - Wikipedia https://share.google/9qOgsTMxF7oZT4o1j

People dont realize Judaism was a sacrificial religion. Those temples Jesus supposely made a big scaldal were Slaugherhouses. 

So, what to expect from a religion based on this stuff? Blood.

Nice to discovery this Marcium Heretical guy. The Greek root for the term Heretic is important 

Word Origin

• Greek roots: The word comes from the Greek term hairetikós, meaning "able to choose" or "one who chooses for oneself" instead of accepting standard doctrine.

Life long to the Heretics

I am curious about Leo's new fondness for "!="

I just condensed my top values into one single picture. Maybe you can take something from it.

Out of all of them I consider TRUTH the most important one, LOVE the highest one & FREEDOM the most valuable one.

Whereas PEACE is the endstate of TRUTH, after the heavy heart of LOVE finally danced in FREEDOM, until there's no more Beauty left to give...

Yes, people assume a extre-rigth wing person dont have relative happiness. Of course he or she have it. Playing by Status Quo is easy, you get money,sex,community etc..

Try to be an Heretic to see what happens.

@Leo Gura Any recommendations of people/places in the U.S. that hold legitimate no B.S. workshops or intensives? Much appreciated.

Edit: Also, is there any way we can get on a waitlist for a future retreat of yours?
