Does anyone else get the shivers watching this when you start to come to the realization of what he's saying?

[AgarthaFan]

I'm honestly very glad that I choose to watch these videos with Leo as early as fifteen. Everyone who works on this topic seems to be in their 20s or 30s but I think I actually know what I'm gonna be doing with my life at such an age, not entirely of course.

[dogindagrass]

even if I am dreadfully unaware, what awareness I have achieved so far has completely flipped my life around.
the biggest revelations I've had are over coming the anxiety I was told I would have for the rest of my life and the harsh dysphoria I had when looking in mirrors. just being aware that everything is running itself is like a huge weight off my chest and it feels so good to be me! I just keep wanting to get better and see how far I can take this because I'm starting to see just how limitless my self and everything is.

I was actually able to stay self conscious for a whole minute. This is something I have worked on for years.

One thing that has helped me a lot is to start a journal, mine is called outside the box. But the purpose of the journal is to write about new ideas of questioning everything, Including yourself, your culture, you environment, the universe and everything you can possibly think to question. Ive been writing in it for about 3 years now and have over 220, 000 words. Its helped me on the path of self discovery to awareness. Because the journal forces you to constantly be questioning which forces you to be constantly aware so that you can write about it everyday. The goal is to write at lease several new ideas a day.

Thank you Leo ... Its amazing that at your age you know all this .. I am 57 and comes from the people of fire in Iran .. We are only taught this wisdom when we reach 40, and we have to choose to study it ... The will to want to know .. The real craving desire to know is the whole thing .

[geneferbaxter]

Wow, it took me 4 years of watching this episode to actually have a still enough mind to understand the exercise. Actually becoming aware of the mental images and voice that I am constantly conjuring made me laugh out loud! I am truly asleep. Thanks, Leo.

[laurenbrewer]

I just wanted to say thank you Leo for having these tools available for us. I've been trying to deal with really bad anxiety, and your videos on introspection and mindfulness have helped significantly. Thank you for not sugar coating anything and for challenging me to be honest with myself so I can move forward. I sincerely appreciate what you've created here.

Richard Rose once said something to the effect of: We're a bunch of dummies sitting around a table, asking ourselves "Are we dummies"?

[HarmonousHappenings]

My entire life/world changed in a flash. A moment which took me from living in a world that I am part of to living in a world but no longer being of that world. Life has become lonely at times but i am never alone because now I have myself! Thanks Leo your work is fantastic!!

[carloscallegonzalez]

Thanks for all your videos Leo. You have change my life, I was pretty lost and depress until you help me find my path. Now every time i start feeling lost and unmotivated I watch one of your videos and it makes me get on track again. Im changing my life step by step thanks to you, please never stop sharing your wisdom and helping other people like me

[nattycampos]

Your videos are fucking disturbing. They've been changing my life so much.

[shitmandood]

My Mom has watched me watching your videos over the past 1.5 years and after awhile when I would come to visit my parents, she would start to say things like, "Are you going to be watching that bald guy again on YouTube this weekend?" with a lot of fear and foreboding in her voice when she said it. As if I had joined a cult!

So I explained Leo and Actualized.org and invited her to watch the videos and see for herself. I told her what I was doing and she even pitched in some birthday cash for my purchase of the Life Purpose course. Her being a Christian, I explained the ego and ego death and Buddhist meanings & even explained the underlying backbone of all the prophets, where Enlightenment can occur with anyone.

It didn't take her long to understand what I was talking about. She told me that once in high school, something had happened to her mind & afterwards, from that day forward, she never cared what anyone thought about her again. Sort of having an awakening. And then I recalled my first panic attack as a senior in high school. For no reason at all, I thought I was dying. I had no idea what was happening to me or even how to describe it to someone. That fear of death hovering over me felt so real.

"And afterwards, you became smarter.", my Mom then said. Because I went on to do a lot of hard math & science in college, stuff I never had a knack for or even an interest in. No one knew about purpose or meditation or anything back then, so pretty much all I could do was focus & work on things, while I still tried to figure myself out. I couldn't let me ego die for not knowing what it was, it may have been an attempt at my brain trying to drop it, like those with bipolar disorders, but it never happened. It still took another 20 years before I could arrive at this point in this place to discover the concept of life purpose and enlightenment and look at my past and give it all meaning and direction. I'm really glad that I found it, even if it's only the tip of an iceberg.

As the old saying in the Lynch Dune movie goes, "The sleeper must awaken."

[elisawhitney]

I could imagine that waking up from this form of sleep you talk about would be, in some ways, similar to becoming "aware" while sleeping/dreaming. Like when you're able to change your dream just because you realized that what you're experiencing is a dream and not reality. When this happens it feels like a door to another world opens but I never know how to stay there long enough.

[FightForFoundation]

Just want to say thank you so much Leo, for the work you are doing. I am about 1/5 of my way through your material and am feeling the momentum building towards my awareness. You are the teacher I've been looking for, teaching me to take all responsibility for my own understanding. Thank you, thank you. I'm going to follow through.

[esatakan]

Wow... You are truly one of the best sources of knowledge i have EVER come across Leo!

Thank you so much for everything you have been doing..

if it wasn't for you I would be TOTALLY CLUELESS about so many incredibly important concepts..

Don't get me wrong, i am STILL CLUELESS but at least on some level(albeit very small), i began to get a grasp of how DEEP this thing called life is..

Began to know about how much i don't know, if you will.

Take care and thanks again, please keep going, me and i bet a TON of people appreciate and love it a ton..

Esat.

Few people ever pay complete attention to anything. I’m thankful for Jiddu Krishnamurti, Eckhart Tolle, Michael Singer and Tom Campbell for assisting and accelerating my heroes journey. Thanks for your contribution Leo I see the intelligence of being operating through you

[daisy]

Staggering video, i listened to it about a year ago when i decided to get serious about becoming aware. it made an impact on me then....i listened to it now and the difference in understanding is mind blowing with every small step you achieve every word in this video is an electrical charge to your sleeping existence. Leo you are a gift to humanity, thank you!

[perlyfe]

The "distracting thoughts" that came to my mind were "leo I love you, you are beautiful"..Thanks for inspiring me with every video
