Leo's Latest; Fake Vs Real Growth...something Hit Home!

[mike smith]

Just listened to 20 minutes of Leo's latest video (29/02/2016) about Fake vs Real Growth.

It really struck a chord!

I have achieved some measure of success in career and business over the past 3 years using a daily plan for self-development and postitive thinking.I now see that a large majority of my efforts have been geared towards attaining this success with alot less attention paid to deep seated emotional issues.

 I still face underlying insecurity in social situations often being on guard to ensure that I don't get visibly embarrassed,look awkward or uncomfortable with the assumption(mostly subconscious)that people will think less of me,make negative judgements. 

Although I have made definite progress in certain aspects of my life and am a positive,optimistic person, I still haven't faced up to this major issue. This has resulted in ongoing anxiety,avoidance of triggering situations and generally less happiness and peace of mind in my life.

I am filled with dread at the prospect of meeting people socially,have people come to our house etc and it is clearly a nuerosis that I need to come to terms with in order to self actualize more effectively.

I've tried the sedona method(i thought was too tedious) and use affirmations,exercise and meditiations daily.

 I think it's time to 1)seek counselling   2)hire a life coach  3)practice mindfulness to monitor the self-talk.

I would love to hear some advice/receive some ideas to set me on the path of overcome this inner demon!!

    Thanks to Leo for this latest realization!!

I would start off by being quiet, and turn toward your consciousness, and simply be quiet. forget all the rules, forget all the practices, just simply be quiet and experience your consciousness, spend some time with it, moment by moment, being conscious, aware and present in each moment with it, there is something there for you, if you are faithful to it and you stay with it, it will find you. 

What is progress in life, what are we trying to progress to, it seems that most see progress as achieving more and more wealth, gadgets, more things, better higher paying jobs, more toys, It seems like that most of the learning is nothing more than information gathering, that ends up creating programing and then programing becomes beliefs, and then the human being become stuck. Once you awaken, you begin to forget much of the nonsense you learned.  The most important things for me was who am i really, what is this life inside of this body, how did i get here, did i exist before i took this body, what happens to the real me when my body dies, did i have something to do with the creation of my own body.  how do you know when what you think you know is real, how do i justify my existence on this earth. There was a time i couldn't answer any of those things, now i can answer them all.  Should not liberation from what has bound you in this world be the most important progress that one could make.  When i leave this body i want to leave it in a conscious, aware, present state of being, free of the programing,  false belief,  and the fictitious identity that i created to exist here in and the desires of the flesh, unfulfilled desires is what will bring you back here again.  To me the goal of progress is about self realization and liberation now, it wont happen after you leave the body and what you are you will take with you, so if you are still programed with a false belief system that controls you now, it will control you after you leave the body just as much as it has here, and it will bring you back here again because its still rooted in consciousness, some call it quantum memory but seems to me they are the same.  All those questions that i ask myself, i suspect when you can answer them for yourself you will be well on the way to liberation.  I hope there is something in there that can help you.

OH and keep watching Leo's videos, if you do you will know when you are making that progress.  If you dont understand them give it a little time, contemplate them, and wait, dont reject because you believe something else.
