I’ve waited for you to make this. I’m 57 and my whole life changed when I decided to BE love in everything. My life miraculous changed to peace, bliss, serenity and incredibly, abundance. The outside of your life becomes your inside. But you know what? The outside was always your conscious pushed out. Love to you Leo.
Beautifully said! 💛 I have a question though. When I chose to BE love, I can only do so for two to three days at most, then I realize that it takes a toll on me to give so much undivided attention to those around me. It’s like I let others pull me into their life and when I pull out of it I feel though that’s not loving and then I’m down on myself for it. Are you always giving it your all 24/7?
@@cailloucontreras133 that'd normal, trusting the process is a good way of surrendering to what Is or God or the Now white is what you are in essence. To accept doesn't mean to tolerate. The body you have isn't separate from everything so discerning what you can do to best serve as a whole. Take care of self to better care for Self.

Have a great day y‘all
Yeah maybe I‘m going to sound like an asshole now, but if you are not willing to spend two hours on this video why bother. It is work. It needs you to invest your time. Set priorities.
Love doesn’t just benefit the person receiving the love. When you practice love, it transforms you. Practice love in everything that you do so that it becomes a fundamental part of who you are. It will become the foundation for the relationships that bring you happiness and success.
@@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices Is a concept that have been created to keep you busy of seeking it. Happiness is something that you are to share or resonate with world. People understand love and happiness backwards. Imagine it like that you are sun and love and happiness are sun rays.
God is the Greatest, all praise be to the Most Good in Who's hands lies all of reality! God is Love. God is Pure Goodness. He will hit you with His Love, before it even hits you, you will cry tears of this Divine Truth, namely, that God loves you. And the Goodness God shows you will make you doubt if you are worth it. The Goodness and Love my Father has shown me cannot be compared to anything. God is the Greatest! God is the Greatest! God is the Greatest!
The life purpose course is genuinely the highest value self help product out there. It's way better than anything else I payed for. So much depth and unique value. Still carving my LP after 3 years and it completely changed the way I see work, career and my art.
01:18:13 - 01:22:13 : This visualisation was so profond I had to did it twice (once from the point of view of the receiver, and once from the giver's). It made me burst in tears. It felt intensely relieving ! Thank you Leo for your love (and vulnerability)
Now I understand why just talking to people, random people at work in the hospital brings me to tears. It's the beauty in the connection. Even if for a moment
Dear Leo, Apparently I'm writing the 525th comment on your channel about this video. The appreciatif relief I'm feeling as I savor what you're saying 😢 😭😭😭😭😭 is so very satisfying. To know that this video is here for us to improve LOVING ONE ANOTHER provides a reassuring comfort of a very special kind. My comment is geared to THANK YOU LEO THANK YOU🌷THANK YOU🌷THANK YOU

The God of the bible is a psychopath that kills and abuses humans from Genisis to Revelation. The bible teaches "might makes right" it does not teach love.
Whatever Leo felt on 1:18:14 I felt that to my core. That type of Love, I only felt coming from my mother. And I am hoping that in this lifetime, to give that Love to a partner and receive it in return. What a beautiful thing. I was in tears during that visualization.
Thank you Leo. I shed tears when you asked us to imagine how it felt like to be loved. This is an extremely enlightening video. Hope to see more videos coming out. Your loyal follower.
Me too, I immediately started to cry when Leo asked to visualize ourselves as a fragile creature who receive love in different shapes. T_T I felt like I got in touch with my inner child and that was beautiful
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” This could have been a Catholic sermon just as well as whatever background this comes from
@@George-zh1og Religion in general is what's wrong with the world: thinking that you're right and everyone else is wrong and that YOUR religion is the only right one and you're the only ones being "saved" and everybody else is going to hell. That is the definition of pride and your "sin" is worse!
The God of the bible is an abusive psychopathic narcissist. He does just the opposite of all of these things Leo just talked about. Christianity teaches "might makes right", not love...
I really believe that some of your best videos are when you combine the abstract to the concrete like this one. I would love to see more content like this. Thank you for the great content Leo.
Appreciate this video. I was on the right track My own list: - treat others the way you wish to be treated. And treat yourself the way you would treat others
This episode and last the one are my ultimate favorites from Leo. This is exactly it, what is love… allowing self and other/it to you have autonomy/true freedom and loving it as it is with no need or desire to change it. This type of all is the only goal and is a lifetime practice.
This really opened my eyes to everyone on my family and everyone I've ever had in my life. I'm one of those that didn't have a parent I could rely on or trust growing up. And ,just as you said, I'm very dysfunctional as a 50 year old! No matter how I try not to be!! I really don't trust ANYONE, EVER! And I don't know how to fix that!! I feel like I truly love others , and the right way, but I have never gotten the same in return. I've just accepted that feeling real genuine love in return isn't for me. I've only ever felt loved from my animals. I love you Leo. I'm the least selfish person I've ever known. Thank you for sharing. I'm going to listen again !!❤❤❤
I've just watched this again... As a parent and an adult child from a traumatic life... This makes me think of the movie, Everything Everywhere all at once. That movie showed me what "being there" really means. I was on LSD when I watched it and my heart was pulling out of my chest at the end... It was Sooo much love in a spiral of all reality all at once. Thank you for making these connections for people Leo, it's so hard to see the truth from the outside.
I think I've been blessed throughout my life with being able to love people and things correctly, somewhere along the way I forgot to continue exercising that on myself. I realized I've lost my connection with myself sometime ago, and I'm on a path to regain it.
This video made me really understand why so many people appreciate me and why with my girlfriend we're so happy. I was SO MADAFFAKING LUCKY to have a lovely&caring family that for me, and after years of spiritual work, is so natural to love and help other people.
Question: 7:05 - 7:33 Answer: It is just there. It's as simple as that. They are just being there. That is love in of itself. The feelings and sensation(s) of that are felt through the energy of the moment. Energy is what is felt. Beauty is what is seen. Love is what is.
As a westener I found it interesting how in India male friends will hold hands on the street, simply because they appreciate the other and want to show affection. It has nothing to do with sexuality for them, it's just a way to connect a bit on the physical level. In the west, male friends have a difficult time connecting on the physical level due to social norms and fears of gayness etc.
What? I have literally never seen that happen once, ever. If anything, the blatant and shocking amount of homophobia, along with a ton of negative cultural norms prevent most men from even showing care. Homophobic and transphobic slurs are common when such behavior is exhibited.
I know I've mentioned this before, but I started watching your podcast when I was in a dark place after a series of family deaths over 5 years ago. Becuase of you, I was able to see love everywhere and you introduced me to concepts I'd never heard of, or people like Peterson and Wilbur, the psychedelic revival, and I have to say, going backwards to ancient wisdom really helps. I'm currently reading the gnostic gospels and Marcus Aurelius. And I never who have known this existed if it weren't for you. Thank you Leo.
That is literally the question i was entertaining in my mind at a party this night. But it was a party, so, uh.. yeah i reflected on it for like 2 minutes. Glad to see you again, really grateful to be here with you. Much much respect and love!
@@MrMiroto i was trying to say that i thought about what does it mean to love, but the circumstances were not quite fitting for philosophising, and i ended up distracted and forgot about it. Few hours later i get on the youtube and see this video.
@@vuyamie ok, i get it! This happens very often to me, too. I got used to take notes everywhere I am and am looking at them later. Especially before falling asleep. (Excuse my grammar - > not my mother tongue)
This is hands down my favorite video, Leo! Wow, this is seriously some valuable content. Thank you for taking the time to share this. Love is one of the most complex and really undefinable facets of reality, yet it exists all around us if we are willing to see it.
Thank you for being the best teacher Leo! I literally was talking about you in my last video and I mentioned what I learned from a guided meditation you gave about loving your sins. What a coincidence!
@@ActualizedOrg Hi Leo, I've been trying to get your attention to ask you to consider looking into Vitamin A toxicity and the affects it has on the liver and therefore the thyroid. And how simple changes to the diet and being careful of what supplements we take can help detox this, if it is actually an issue. If you would kindly acknowledge this message then I can leave you alone; being safe in the knowledge I have passed on information which could potentially help you with your health issues. Also, I can provide possible sources for this and quotes on the affects. Thank you kindly in advance. Rachael
Thank you Leo. I can't describe in a short message what this means to me. But I hope the universe somehow can make you feel the thank you I send out to you!
Alternative title could be "A practical list of Green Flags". And you're so right, someone could easily charge a lot of money for this level of quality.
Wow! I remember watching your videos 7-8 years ago when I was quite young and and it’s amazing to find you again having had seeds planted from your content all those years ago, cheers!
Man this brought tears to my eyez. My perspective has completely changed on what it means to be successful. Love is most worthy of ur attention. Service to others brings everything. Seeing love in everything is my highest aspiration now. Thanks Leo⚡️
As adults we become tough and "confident" behind a persona facade. That's actually fear I now realized! There is a deep lack of love generally in our human society. This was what I thought of when Leo described how vulnerable a baby human or monkey is compared to what the world could do to it. Fear can be seen as love too, but as a cosmic trick of separation.
The essence of love is the desire for all living beings to find true happiness. When we want the best for ALL creatures, then we can honestly say that we love everybody equally. One who appears to love one person more than another, in fact, loves nobody. True, unconditional love revolves around sacrificing one’s selfish desires for those of his or her SUPERIORS, whether that be one's parents, husband, employer, or spiritual master, even if they are imperfect. Should a child disobey its mother just because the mother is flawed? Of course not! This paradigm is applicable to EVERYONE, without exception. Even World Teachers and Avatars Themselves regularly worship their Masters and PAST Masters!
@@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices I agree with your first part, that love is equal. It can often still mean that we spend more time with some people than others, but true love is equal for everybody. The second part I disagree with since sacrifice to me means a disregard of the self, and that's a split, an inner conflict actually, since love is wholeness in harmony, so one must include oneself in the love, not sacrifice oneself.
@@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices No, we are still living in a "fallen" state of good and evil. And evil is a lack of love. But the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" is like fear a cosmic trick. So evil can be included in Leo's concept of absolute Love. My definition of love however is wholeness in harmony, and murder is disharmony one could argue, at least from our ordinary perspective of worldly events.
Leo I have been watching you now for years almost 5 years. You shaped me as well to be the person I am today.I needed this video thank you, you can not imagine how much hearing this video gave me clarity.I have just went off an abusive connection just realizing they were not really loving and I had to protect myself and cut contacts but sending all love.
Honestly it’s been 5+ years that I’ve been listening to Leo, and I’ve never connected with any of his videos the way I did with this one. It really is difficult knowing all this information and wanting others to be on the same level or the level your at and not immediately judge, but when you sit back and understand the way love with a capital L works the judgments are laughable
I’m crying. Connect deeper in all. That was the answer I’ve been looking for. Knowing all is “made” of love aka oneness is a good understanding but knowing we can connect deeper to love is everything. Connect deeper!
I was contemplating about Absolute Love, and I became conscious of it for a few seconds! I almost wept, it was so huge! It's unbearable, it's too much Love.🙂 Thank you Leo!

Thanks Leo for showering this love to me, I followed you for maybe 7 years, when I first time got youtube, the answer of how to practice, reminds me that love is just a saying, but to be one with another, just like god, I am Christian, and you are doing well on expressing of what god try to say to human being, god is love thanks lord now I am thinking of the highest level of human development, that is you will be the sea, no matter how storm attack even how much you cried, you are deep and embracing and the final destination is being with god, reading Bible, there will be more words and love for you thank you love ya Leo
I've loved someone like this before. I let other people's opinions interfere and cause doubt about what I was doing. Added selfish thoughts and feelings in the mix. Adding my own deficiency/sacrifices got amplified and I sabotaged our relationship. I love still to this level. Always will.
So wierd... I've watched your other video on self love yesterday and was wondering "yeah but how do I do that?!" Wake up this morning to see this video. ♡
True love is unconditional. Not transactional, not based on merit, it’s not “I’ll give you this if you do this for me”, it doesn’t calculate what’s in it for itself or the ego, it doesn’t seek only for its own benefit… it seeks connection and it seeks to give and not get
You want to learn love; get into as many relationships as possible where you have to do more for other people. You’ll learn more in an hour with a screaming baby at 2 am than in 1000 hours of RUclips videos .
Love is like an extreme form of openmindedness. Your mind/consciousness is so abnormally open that reality itself becomes less material and more fluid - similar to being on mushrooms. This kind of openness correlates with high creativity because a lot more novel ideas are floating into your field of consciousness. But your mind is so open that these ideas literally start to morph your material world. A coffee table could start talking to you and giving you novel ideas. The trade-off is that your mind is less buttoned-up, so it literally starts to feel like you're going insane. What ordinary humans consider to be "hallucinations" not really hallucinations (since everything is a hallucination), they are just God's imagination - Infinite Imagination - at work in non-ordinary states of consciousness. How would you react if all the sudden your coffee table started to talk to you? Would you be open to listening, or would you freak out and run to the doctor to put yourself on meds to suppress it? Most people would freak out because they don't have a proper context for it. Under the materialist paradigm the only context is that you're going insane. But if you understand how consciousness works then there's really nothing wrong about it, you just have an extra-open mind. You know what happened when the US military gave LSD to soldiers to make them better killers? The soldiers refused to fight each other because they experienced too much love. You literally have to be very closed-minded to kill people! We take a kid from from Iraq and we throw him to a new planet with an alien civilization that is a hundred thousand years more advanced than humanity with teleportation devices and weird hovering technology and telepathic communication abilities and all sorts of crazy stuff, they figured out how to make their bodies immortal. Right so all this crazy stuff that they figured out from the wildest Science-fiction movies. We plop a kid from Iraq into that for a day and then we bring him back. That's a little bit more what it's like to take a psychedelic. At last they declared to me that I was becoming dangerous and that they should lock me up in a madhouse if I did not hold my tongue. Then such grief took possession of my soul that my heart was wrung, and I felt as though I were dying; and then . . . then I awoke. Appearance without substance. Everything is a hallucination. So this moment right now is a hallucination. It's always been a hallucination. That's what reality is. In psychology hallucination means perception without any input or data. So traditionally if you go to a mental hospital and you're telling them that you're seeing Love running around with stripes and polka dots, they'll say you're hallucinating.
How to Practice Love List: - Giving it your attention & awareness, and your time - Physical contact (touching, holding, hugging, cuddling) & physical proximity (just that alone can bring forth feelings of love) - Connection: as in trying to create a connection with this other (Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual connection) - Taking good care of it: helping to meet it’s needs, helping it survive. You recognize the beauty & value of it’s existence - Sheltering it from excessive suffering, fear and trauma that would destroy and cripple it: without overprotecting it from developing autonomy and strength - Having it’s back, defending it, being loyal to it - Taking on it’s agenda as your own - Making it’s agenda an extension of yours • making it an extension of you, another part of you - Treating it as well as you’d like to treat yourself - Being happy when it succeeds as though it’s success is your success, being genuinely happy for it - Wanting for it what it wants for itself: “if I love you then I want what you want for you” - Sacrificing for it on it’s behalf, working for on it’s behalf: if you truly love someone you are willing to sacrifice for it and work on their behalf - Supporting it, nurturing it and encouraging it (to be their best for example: encouraging it’s own self exploration, self expression & self actualization) - Respecting it’s sovereignty: you treat it as a sovereign consciousness - Total acceptance of it as it is: an absence of judgement. If you love a thing you love it as it is not how you want it to be - Valuing the thing for it’s own sake, not for what you need - Appreciation: if you love a thing, you appreciate them as they are - When you really love a thing and form a deep connection with it you are conscious you’re seeing it’s intrinsic beauty - Not needing anything from this other: not making this other a tool for satisfying your own needs - Respecting the other’s point of view: wanting to understand it’s point if view. Not forcing your agenda or point of view on them/respecting their point of view - Listening and caring about their interests: something simple as just actually listening to it - Sharing similar interests with it - Sense of togetherness and company, and collaboration: working together on something - Being there when the other feels down or hopeless: being there at their lowest - Helping it not to feel lonely - Validating it’s feelings: empathizing with it (“how are you feeling?”), validating it’s feelings even if their feelings are irrational to you - Share emotions: have emotions together. Cry together, laugh together, get angry together, etc - Caring about it’s suffering for it’s own sake: (sometimes we care about the suffering of someone close to us because we want to help them quick the suffering because it annoys us) - Meeting the other where they’re at: especially when dealing with people who are less conscious and less developed than they are at. Meeting them at the level they can handle when necessary - Understanding & Forgiveness: understanding especially when they make mistakes, forgiving them for it, not holding grudges or moralizing and demonizing them - Being patient with this other: the more you love someone the more patient you are willing to be - Seeing the God and seeing the Good in them even when they don’t: seeing their goodness underneath their selfishness, their pettiness and devilry. When you can look at the devil and see the God within is one of the highest forms of Love. When the other person is behaving despicably you can look past that and not get triggered by it, see it as a just a façade and look past that into the Godhead behind their eyes: this is powerful and advanced - Recognition of it’s uniqueness: it is unique in the universe there is not anything like it - (If you want a girl to make fall in love with you compliment her on her uniqueness) - Generosity and kindness - Verbal approval & praise - Keeping your promises: don’t make promise you can’t keep - Peace, maintaining peace: lack of conflict, nothing kills love more than conflict with this other (yelling, screaming, physicality), even if someone else tries to create conflict you deflect it because you love instead - Telling the Truth: not lying. If you love someone you will be telling the truth (there is a time and place for white lies but this is a whole different thing) - Safety & trust: if you love someone you want someone to trust you and you are willing to sacrifice yourself to maintain that trust - Seeing the other as it is, seeing the other’s realness: warts & shadow truly as the other is. That means that if you love a thing you want to see it as it is not as something improved in the future. Love has to be an appreciation of it’s realness, of the truth, as it is, not as a rejection of truth. - The deep appreciation of this finite portion if Consciousness as it is (your own consciousness, but a portion if it): this specific form is finite with it’s limitations and you love it as the finite form that it is - Accepting it’s Selfishness: if you love a thing, a finite consciousness, you have to accept that this finite consciousness is going to be selfish and not try to change that. A meta trap is. The real test of your ability to love is how much can you love those people who are very unconscious and very selfish: because that’s real of them and true of them: it’s easy to love everybody when they’re enlightened. The ability to not be disturbed and to fully accept selfishness Love = Selflessness This is the ideal form of love: this is what a totally benevolent, selfless, all powerful, omnitient being would do in relation to you. What breaks love? Violence Abuse Hate Aggression Judgement Criticism Fear Lying Exploitation Cheating Stealing Neglect Not making time for Not listening Control Domination Manipulation Demonization Moralization Blame Disrespect Ridicule Breaking promises Projection Gaslighting Not caring about the other’s suffering Punishment: especially punishing for making mistakes Revenge Closed-mindedness Trying to change the other to fit a fantasy Ultimately: Selfishness If Selflessness makes Love, is Love Selfishness breaks Love
Beloved Leo this is a MasterPeace! Infinitly Thankful and Loving, so loving of you to give this list, It is so precious that there are no riches in the world to equal its value so than only giving it freely in name of love feels apropriate :) I Love You Leo Thank you
“Some call you love, I call you the king of love. You are beyond all imaginings, taking me places I can’t even dream of. O ruler of my Heart, wherever you go... Don’t go without me.” Rumi
Im working changing my people pleasing behavios, and I realized I'm always very nice and happy and everyone comments on my smile but it's not coming from a place of happiness. My aunt is happy. She is so happy that she makes you happy being around her and she just pours love over you just because she's so happy to see you. She makes you feel so loved and special and it's literally just because she's that happy. I never realized a difference but I was coming from a place of wanting them to be happy or trying to be happy or to make them happy. I kind of hurts my feelings to realize that I used to think I was so loving but it's not loving at all it's actually kind of selfish and weak.
Your videos really speak to my heart. I hope I could meet you in person a day.. and have this amazing talks under a stargaze or sunset. What a human being you are
I believe its more true like this: "Making yourself an extension of them (the baby)" and not making "Them an extension of you" 😊 When reached the realisation of love in meditation, i came out with a sentence: "Love is gifting yourself to yourself, and gifting yourself to the world and others." The act of service to yourself and the world. And I believe that all meaning in life as well as the feeling of meaning is in fact derived from the intended action aligned with this action guiding principle. And i also believe that mental health struggles like depression are born in an abstract form from the dissonance between the love of yourself and the love of others. Love is attention. And in that love is caring and love is respect. Love your stuff 😊❤️ You helped me alot
I feel so loved receiving and learning this list. Thank you Leo for being you and sharing the love with other people. I look forward to share the love with my partner and other people in my life
This is so wonderful to hear. This will allow me to have a better and more fulfilling family dynamic than my parents had when I was a child, and avoid many of the mistakes they made. God is using you for greatness sir, and I hope to shake your hand in the kingdom of heaven one day.
The essence of love is the desire for all living beings to find true happiness. When we want the best for ALL creatures, then we can honestly say that we love everybody equally. One who appears to love one person more than another, in fact, loves nobody. True, unconditional love revolves around sacrificing one’s selfish desires for those of his or her SUPERIORS, whether that be one's parents, husband, employer, or spiritual master, even if they are imperfect. Should a child disobey its mother just because the mother is flawed? Of course not! This paradigm is applicable to EVERYONE, without exception. Even World Teachers and Avatars Themselves regularly worship their Masters and PAST Masters!
Jacque Fresco said in the future people will call love "extensionality" because that word better articulates what love functionally is; the perceived extension/expansion of the self.
Closest you will get to love is that , no one is talking about it, no one is listening to it in this video. No one wrote this. When we "fall madly in love" , typically we say, "I lost myself". When the reference piont, or origin disappears. "Love" is experienced. When the framework of the mind loosens a bit, love comes "flooding in". Because love is an experience of Self or Higher Self. It's Free. There is no "person" experiencing it. Just unadulterated, natural state of being. You. Beingness. Love is the disappearance of Origin. And simultaneously showing up as that which are. So you can so loving acts until you find, the ultimate. All those Acts, will become an Act, singular. Washing the dishes, tying your shoes, listening to the pencil run across paper, opening the door, posting the mail. It will become "one" act. Life then becomes one loving act. When it reaches this point, grace takes over progressively. Your not leading with any motive, love becomes the motive in all situations, it becomes the reward. Motive and reward become the same, love. Everything merges into a loving act. When love becomes your consistent motivation, you will sense a levity. There's no more weight in the world, because love progressively has no attachments. Hot dog or stake, no matter. 10 dollars, 100 dollars, no matter. Sex, no sex, no matter. Love doesn't require an outcome, when your not outcome dependant, a new kind of energy will enter your life, a higher energy, known as grace. Grace is like not being in this world, it's like your floating. Very rare is it a person lives in the world non-outcome dependant. Even those seeking "enlightenment" are outcome dependant. Become the outcome of enlightenment, enlightenment is not outcome. Become your own enlightenment, corner it, corner it by giving up your corners, your targets. Become targetless. Have no target but love. Love is the targetless, target. That's why people "in love" do about just anything and the love just keeps going, growing. When you were a kid, running through a field, there was no target, so you were in love with the moment, just running nowhere. Then adults said "go here, and do this" and you became miserable.And you could not find your happyness. Because happyness is not a finding, it's a losing of target, it's a losing of ambition. When people have "no ambition", that is simply because all there ambitions have brought them misery. That is wisedom, so be ambitionless and become like the child running through the field, pure joy with no ambition. Ironically you can get "tons of stuff done" without ambition. It's almost as if the stuff is doing itself....that's because it is. There's no doer, we know this from childhood, no doer, and happyness. Adult doer, and misery. How to drop the doer? There is no doer, so don't worry about it! All you are is a mystery, stop trying to become what you are... So, like a child, just play. If you have to work, don't look at it like work. Forget the money, and this and that, do it but see it as play. Love is the effortless you, shining through when you stop trying and just play. It's only the doer, that wants enlightenment. And it becomes funny because enlightenment is simply the undoing of the doer. It's the so called ego walking to it's disillusionment. You don't "try" and love someone. When love happens, it's simply am obvious fact. It's beingness, playing. Stop trying to "bag" beingness, beingness is in command, it is the bag that encapsulates everything. You'll never accomplish what beingness has, because it's accomplish nothing! The greatest accomplishment. It's accomplished itself. Can you accomplish nothing? A space which everything happens. Of coarse you can, that's what you are. Give up the actor, become the act, become the love that is not doing anything, it is everything.
Sometimes the most loving thing is to see that you can’t always be so!! Because who defines what that looks like anyway? And just because you can’t see it or understand it, doesn’t mean it wasn’t coming from love Because it all is!!! ♥️ (I know that was the message but felt I needed to simplify it for my own self) 🧚♀️

Thankyou.
Thank you, Jenny ❤.
Thank you for sharing your notes Jenny!
Thank you
I’ve waited for you to make this. I’m 57 and my whole life changed when I decided to BE love in everything. My life miraculous changed to peace, bliss, serenity and incredibly, abundance. The outside of your life becomes your inside. But you know what? The outside was always your conscious pushed out. Love to you Leo.
I Love this comment!
💗💗💗💗💗💗
😊🙏🏽❤️
Beautifully said! 💛 I have a question though. When I chose to BE love, I can only do so for two to three days at most, then I realize that it takes a toll on me to give so much undivided attention to those around me. It’s like I let others pull me into their life and when I pull out of it I feel though that’s not loving and then I’m down on myself for it. Are you always giving it your all 24/7?
@@cailloucontreras133 that'd normal, trusting the process is a good way of surrendering to what Is or God or the Now white is what you are in essence. To accept doesn't mean to tolerate. The body you have isn't separate from everything so discerning what you can do to best serve as a whole. Take care of self to better care for Self.
Not everybody takes 2+ hours time, so here my summary:
„The path to making yourself more loving is the path to God.“
00:00 Introduction, Leos personal context
04:30 Animals can only live when they receive love, otherwise they die
06:10 The reason for that is that reality and animals are love
7:00 How in practical context is love given (to human)?
8:10 List how to practical Love:
1. Attention or awareness an time to the subject
2. Physical contact and proximity
3. Connection: physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual(deepest)
4. Taking care of the subject, care about its needs and help it to survive and exist, creates bias and attachment to the subject
5. Preventing (the most, so the subject can handle) suffering, fear, trauma for the subject (parenting). Intent: independence of the subject
6. Defending it, being loyal
7. Taking its values and prioritys for us and extend ourselves with that. Treating it as ouselves. Makes us vurnerable, makes its survival our survival.
8. Treat others as good as you want to be treated
9. Be happy about their successes as much as for yours
10. Wanting for it what it wants for itself, not what youself want
11. Sacrificing for it
12. Encourage it for itself, not for you
13. Respecting its sovereignty, not trying to mapipulate it, repect that you are neighter above nor below it
14. Full acceptance of it, no need to change it
15. Valuing it for its own sake
16. Appreciate it as it is, seeing its beauty
17. Not needing something from it
18. Respecting its point of view, wanting to understand it
19. Listening and caring about their interests
20. Sense of company and collaboration
21. Being there when they are hopeless and at their lowest
22. Helping it not to feel lonely
23. Validating its feelings (emotional connection) Question: How are you feeling?
24. Share emotions
25. Meeting the other where its at
26. Understanding and forgiving them
27. Being patient
28. Seing their goodness and God in them even when they can‘t see it
29. Recognizing its uniqueness, honoring its uniqueness, complimenting that
30. Generousity, kindness
31. Verbal approval and praise
32. Keeping your promises
33. Peace and trying to remain peace, conflict kills love
34. Telling the truth, not lying
35. Safety and trust, sacrifice in order to remain that
36. Seeing the others realness, wanting to see it how it is, not in another way
37. Accepting its selfishness, not wanting to change that
01:11:00 Summary of this list: Love=Selflessness
01:12:10 The purpose of life is learning to be less selfish
01:13:30 What is breaking love?
1. Violence
2. Abuse
3. Hate
4. Anger
5. Judgement
6. Critisism
7. Fear
8. Lying
9. Exploitation
10. Cheating
11. Stealing
12. Neglect
13. Not making time for
14. Not listening
15. Control
16. Domination
17. Manipulation
18. Demonization
19. Moralization
20. Blame
21. Disrespect
22. Ridicule
23. Breaking promises
24. Projection
25. Gaslighting
26. Not caring about the others suffering
27. Punishment, esp. for making mistakes
28. Revenge
29. Close-mindedness
30. Trying to change the other
31. Ultimately: Selfishness
1:15:00 Visualization to proof the lists before valid and true
1:22:00 What made you feel loved as a child and in relationships?
1:28:25 Intimate relationships are hard because most begin one to use the other as a vehicle to fulfill their selfish needs.
1:30:00 About conscious relationships
1:34:00 Date spiritually developed people
1:36:00 About parenting, marriage and Self Love
1:38:00 Two sides of spiritual development: Metaphysical love contemplation as a whole on the one end, practical love to other human beings and subjects on the other side
1:42:10 Life is a training ground for being a good lover (new paradigm)
1:44:30 Summary: What is love? Love=Connection
1:46:00 People tend to live life in a shallow way, how do you go the other way?
1:48:00 How deep do you want to connect with the infinitely deep reality? How can I connect deeper with a thing I like? -A question that creates Life purpose when contemplated for years, this valuable investment needs time, much time
1:54:00 Love makes you do your best work, love is the desire for union
1:55:30 Love grows and expands yourself, love is the fuel for that, love is care beyond your limited self, love is seeing perfection and beauty in reality
1:58:10 Love is infinite diverse
1:59:00 Bias prevents you from caring about everyone, God is infinitely selfless, you are god but not conscious of that, awakening is the process of god realization
2:02:00 Dont beat yourself up for not loving perfect as layed out here. Have compassion for yourself. Strive to be less selfish, less fearful, that is sufficient. Love genuinely at you own pace. Less honest love is better than more shallow fake love
2:06:00 Life becomes more about helping others trough love
2:06:20 Love is never a license to stay with a toxic and abusive partner or other person. Learn to love yourself. Set boundaries. Leave. Get into a safe environment to grow your capacity to love.
2:09:00 Check out Leos life purpose course with new material, also have patience with Leo not being able to live up to his own love ideal. Develop compassion for your own selfishness and trough that for others.
I hope my summary is helpful for some people, thank you Leo for sharing this fundamental episode with us. Have a great day y‘all
Thank you Simon..
Creating these time stamps was an act of Love.
@@marklawson2871 Truly
@@marklawson2871 Haha I appreciate them being helpful ;)
This is a great idea thanks for coming up with it.
Yeah maybe I‘m going to sound like an asshole now, but if you are not willing to spend two hours on this video why bother. It is work. It needs you to invest your time. Set priorities.
Love doesn’t just benefit the person receiving the love. When you practice love, it transforms you. Practice love in everything that you do so that it becomes a fundamental part of who you are. It will become the foundation for the relationships that bring you happiness and success.
Love this
in your own words, define “HAPPINESS”. ☝️🤔☝️
🙏
@@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices Is a concept that have been created to keep you busy of seeking it. Happiness is something that you are to share or resonate with world. People understand love and happiness backwards. Imagine it like that you are sun and love and happiness are sun rays.
God is the Greatest, all praise be to the Most Good in Who's hands lies all of reality!
God is Love. God is Pure Goodness. He will hit you with His Love, before it even hits you, you will cry tears of this Divine Truth, namely, that God loves you. And the Goodness God shows you will make you doubt if you are worth it.
The Goodness and Love my Father has shown me cannot be compared to anything.
God is the Greatest! God is the Greatest! God is the Greatest!
The life purpose course is genuinely the highest value self help product out there. It's way better than anything else I payed for. So much depth and unique value. Still carving my LP after 3 years and it completely changed the way I see work, career and my art.
Thanks for the kind testimonial.
Thanks for creating it and making it affordable.
Beautiful conversation

01:18:13 - 01:22:13 : This visualisation was so profond I had to did it twice (once from the point of view of the receiver, and once from the giver's). It made me burst in tears. It felt intensely relieving ! Thank you Leo for your love (and vulnerability)
This video made me tear up how authentic it was
"All that exists is love; humans have just forgotten."
- Nathan Garcia
Now I understand why just talking to people, random people at work in the hospital brings me to tears. It's the beauty in the connection. Even if for a moment
"Love is to people, what water is to plants"
Dear Leo,
Apparently I'm writing the 525th comment on your channel about this video. The appreciatif relief I'm feeling as I savor what you're saying 😢 😭😭😭😭😭 is so very satisfying. To know that this video is here for us to improve LOVING ONE ANOTHER provides a reassuring comfort of a very special kind.
My comment is geared to THANK YOU LEO
THANK YOU🌷THANK YOU🌷THANK YOU
Its a perfect map to treat our traumatized parts and opening our hearts for them and being one with them .. 🙏🏻 thank you

"The basis of creation is Love. God loves his creation, and when his creation passionately loves him back, the purpose of creation is fulfilled."
The God of the bible is a psychopath that kills and abuses humans from Genisis to Revelation. The bible teaches "might makes right" it does not teach love.
Whatever Leo felt on 1:18:14 I felt that to my core. That type of Love, I only felt coming from my mother. And I am hoping that in this lifetime, to give that Love to a partner and receive it in return. What a beautiful thing. I was in tears during that visualization.
Thank you Leo. I shed tears when you asked us to imagine how it felt like to be loved. This is an extremely enlightening video. Hope to see more videos coming out. Your loyal follower.
Me too, I immediately started to cry when Leo asked to visualize ourselves as a fragile creature who receive love in different shapes. T_T I felt like I got in touch with my inner child and that was beautiful
You shed tears for a cult leader who uses youtube to attract people in his cult
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”
This could have been a Catholic sermon just as well as whatever background this comes from
Dont confuse the Christian faith with a religion which has caused so much pain to humanity.
@@George-zh1og Yes! I know first hand.
@@George-zh1og Religion in general is what's wrong with the world: thinking that you're right and everyone else is wrong and that YOUR religion is the only right one and you're the only ones being "saved" and everybody else is going to hell. That is the definition of pride and your "sin" is worse!
The God of the bible is an abusive psychopathic narcissist. He does just the opposite of all of these things Leo just talked about. Christianity teaches "might makes right", not love...
I really believe that some of your best videos are when you combine the abstract to the concrete like this one. I would love to see more content like this. Thank you for the great content Leo.
Appreciate this video. I was on the right track
My own list:
- treat others the way you wish to be treated. And treat yourself the way you would treat others
This episode and last the one are my ultimate favorites from Leo. This is exactly it, what is love… allowing self and other/it to you have autonomy/true freedom and loving it as it is with no need or desire to change it.
This type of all is the only goal and is a lifetime practice.
This really opened my eyes to everyone on my family and everyone I've ever had in my life. I'm one of those that didn't have a parent I could rely on or trust growing up. And ,just as you said, I'm very dysfunctional as a 50 year old! No matter how I try not to be!! I really don't trust ANYONE, EVER! And I don't know how to fix that!! I feel like I truly love others , and the right way, but I have never gotten the same in return. I've just accepted that feeling real genuine love in return isn't for me. I've only ever felt loved from my animals. I love you Leo. I'm the least selfish person I've ever known. Thank you for sharing. I'm going to listen again !!❤❤❤
Best wishes.
what you said here is so profound and detailed, yet so practical. You help me realize how much I have to change to foster love
I've just watched this again... As a parent and an adult child from a traumatic life... This makes me think of the movie, Everything Everywhere all at once. That movie showed me what "being there" really means. I was on LSD when I watched it and my heart was pulling out of my chest at the end... It was Sooo much love in a spiral of all reality all at once. Thank you for making these connections for people Leo, it's so hard to see the truth from the outside.
I think I've been blessed throughout my life with being able to love people and things correctly, somewhere along the way I forgot to continue exercising that on myself.
I realized I've lost my connection with myself sometime ago, and I'm on a path to regain it.
This video made me really understand why so many people appreciate me and why with my girlfriend we're so happy. I was SO MADAFFAKING LUCKY to have a lovely&caring family that for me, and after years of spiritual work, is so natural to love and help other people.
Question: 7:05 - 7:33
Answer: It is just there. It's as simple as that. They are just being there. That is love in of itself. The feelings and sensation(s) of that are felt through the energy of the moment. Energy is what is felt. Beauty is what is seen. Love is what is.
Leo no words will ever explain I'm grateful simultaneously fearful to have this conversations with you. GOD BLESS U❤
came back again:)
As a westener I found it interesting how in India male friends will hold hands on the street, simply because they appreciate the other and want to show affection. It has nothing to do with sexuality for them, it's just a way to connect a bit on the physical level.
In the west, male friends have a difficult time connecting on the physical level due to social norms and fears of gayness etc.
What? I have literally never seen that happen once, ever. If anything, the blatant and shocking amount of homophobia, along with a ton of negative cultural norms prevent most men from even showing care. Homophobic and transphobic slurs are common when such behavior is exhibited.
wow
How many times have you seen this?
I know I've mentioned this before, but I started watching your podcast when I was in a dark place after a series of family deaths over 5 years ago. Becuase of you, I was able to see love everywhere and you introduced me to concepts I'd never heard of, or people like Peterson and Wilbur, the psychedelic revival, and I have to say, going backwards to ancient wisdom really helps.
I'm currently reading the gnostic gospels and Marcus Aurelius. And I never who have known this existed if it weren't for you. Thank you Leo.
Happy for ya
That is literally the question i was entertaining in my mind at a party this night. But it was a party, so, uh.. yeah i reflected on it for like 2 minutes. Glad to see you again, really grateful to be here with you. Much much respect and love!
what's the point about the party? Essentially you said, you thought about it for 2 minutes.. and what's the point about that?
@@MrMiroto i was trying to say that i thought about what does it mean to love, but the circumstances were not quite fitting for philosophising, and i ended up distracted and forgot about it. Few hours later i get on the youtube and see this video.
@@vuyamie ok, i get it! This happens very often to me, too. I got used to take notes everywhere I am and am looking at them later. Especially before falling asleep. (Excuse my grammar - > not my mother tongue)

This is hands down my favorite video, Leo! Wow, this is seriously some valuable content. Thank you for taking the time to share this.
Love is one of the most complex and really undefinable facets of reality, yet it exists all around us if we are willing to see it.
Namaste
I’ve struggled to finish the Life Purpose Course for many years, this inspired me to give it another shot. Thank you kindly ❤️
did you complete it?
Thank you for being the best teacher Leo! I literally was talking about you in my last video and I mentioned what I learned from a guided meditation you gave about loving your sins. What a coincidence!
Wow Leo, the beautiful raw emotion emanating from you during the second part of the visualisation. From 0 to ten million
;)
@@ActualizedOrg Hi Leo, I've been trying to get your attention to ask you to consider looking into Vitamin A toxicity and the affects it has on the liver and therefore the thyroid. And how simple changes to the diet and being careful of what supplements we take can help detox this, if it is actually an issue. If you would kindly acknowledge this message then I can leave you alone; being safe in the knowledge I have passed on information which could potentially help you with your health issues. Also, I can provide possible sources for this and quotes on the affects. Thank you kindly in advance. Rachael
Thank you Leo. I can't describe in a short message what this means to me. But I hope the universe somehow can make you feel the thank you I send out to you!
Alternative title could be "A practical list of Green Flags".
And you're so right, someone could easily charge a lot of money for this level of quality.
Wow! I remember watching your videos 7-8 years ago when I was quite young and and it’s amazing to find you again having had seeds planted from your content all those years ago, cheers!
Man this brought tears to my eyez. My perspective has completely changed on what it means to be successful. Love is most worthy of ur attention. Service to others brings everything. Seeing love in everything is my highest aspiration now. Thanks Leo⚡️
As adults we become tough and "confident" behind a persona facade. That's actually fear I now realized! There is a deep lack of love generally in our human society. This was what I thought of when Leo described how vulnerable a baby human or monkey is compared to what the world could do to it. Fear can be seen as love too, but as a cosmic trick of separation.
The essence of love is the desire for all living beings to find true happiness. When we want the best for ALL creatures, then we can honestly say that we love everybody equally.
One who appears to love one person more than another, in fact, loves nobody.
True, unconditional love revolves around sacrificing one’s selfish desires for those of his or her SUPERIORS, whether that be one's parents, husband, employer, or spiritual master, even if they are imperfect.
Should a child disobey its mother just because the mother is flawed? Of course not! This paradigm is applicable to EVERYONE, without exception.
Even World Teachers and Avatars Themselves regularly worship their Masters and PAST Masters!
@@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices I agree with your first part, that love is equal. It can often still mean that we spend more time with some people than others, but true love is equal for everybody. The second part I disagree with since sacrifice to me means a disregard of the self, and that's a split, an inner conflict actually, since love is wholeness in harmony, so one must include oneself in the love, not sacrifice oneself.
@@Anders01 would you consider MURDERING animals to be an act of love?
@@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices No, we are still living in a "fallen" state of good and evil. And evil is a lack of love. But the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" is like fear a cosmic trick. So evil can be included in Leo's concept of absolute Love. My definition of love however is wholeness in harmony, and murder is disharmony one could argue, at least from our ordinary perspective of worldly events.
The way he went from explaining how people think he’s a hypocrite to an immediate chuckle sent me flying lol ULTIMATE level of self containment
Leo I have been watching you now for years almost 5 years. You shaped me as well to be the person I am today.I needed this video thank you, you can not imagine how much hearing this video gave me clarity.I have just went off an abusive connection just realizing they were not really loving and I had to protect myself and cut contacts but sending all love.
Good for you. Yeah, tolerating abusive people is not a good way to love. Find more conscious people who can appreciate your love.
Dear Leo,
Please be more Loving in your next videos as well. Love radiates to your audiences, which makes them more loving too.
Thank You,
Love it!
Leo pushes my intellectual boundaries making my ego react only then to break it open with tears of joy with episodes like this.
Honestly it’s been 5+ years that I’ve been listening to Leo, and I’ve never connected with any of his videos the way I did with this one. It really is difficult knowing all this information and wanting others to be on the same level or the level your at and not immediately judge, but when you sit back and understand the way love with a capital L works the judgments are laughable
I’m crying. Connect deeper in all. That was the answer I’ve been looking for. Knowing all is “made” of love aka oneness is a good understanding but knowing we can connect deeper to love is everything. Connect deeper!
You really have the perfect job. And it's absolutely incredible how eloquent and skilled you are talking without cuts!
I was contemplating about Absolute Love, and I became conscious of it for a few seconds! I almost wept, it was so huge! It's unbearable, it's too much Love.🙂 Thank you Leo!
I feel like it’s underrated how smart this guy is
This one really made me speechless. I deeply appreciate you sharing these, Leo ❤
Divine Timing 🙏🏼 LOVE has been trying to get my attention lately. It’s becoming louder and louder, moment by moment ✨
Me too!!! 💗💗💗💗

Synchronicity is the wink of the universe.
I felt the same, this video came at just the right time
Thanks Leo for showering this love to me, I followed you for maybe 7 years, when I first time got youtube, the answer of how to practice, reminds me that love is just a saying, but to be one with another, just like god, I am Christian, and you are doing well on expressing of what god try to say to human being, god is love
thanks lord
now I am thinking of the highest level of human development, that is you will be the sea, no matter how storm attack even how much you cried, you are deep and embracing
and the final destination is being with god, reading Bible, there will be more words and love for you
thank you love ya Leo
Actions speak louder than words. Love is unconditional. Love is given without an obligation. Love is loyal,patient, kind and resilient.
The last video was so amazing.... I'm excited for this one 😁🙏🏻
Much appreciation for your work. It is one thing to know these things but it requires actual understanding to be able to communicate and teach them
leo walking on the streets and suddenly someone starts to play the song: How deep is your love?
Leo : YES!
Thank you for this episode, Leo. Probably one of the most useful videos I've seen on youtube, ever. You couldn't have released it at a better time!
I've loved someone like this before. I let other people's opinions interfere and cause doubt about what I was doing. Added selfish thoughts and feelings in the mix. Adding my own deficiency/sacrifices got amplified and I sabotaged our relationship. I love still to this level. Always will.
Thank you Leo, thank you so much. The world will never forget about your work.
The most valuable episode.
So wierd...
I've watched your other video on self love yesterday and was wondering "yeah but how do I do that?!"
Wake up this morning to see this video. ♡
True love is unconditional. Not transactional, not based on merit, it’s not “I’ll give you this if you do this for me”, it doesn’t calculate what’s in it for itself or the ego, it doesn’t seek only for its own benefit… it seeks connection and it seeks to give and not get
1:30:00 min in and so far love the information. The list is very powerful. Looking back I can see now CLEARLY how I have failed to love.
This is an amazing material, Leo. Thank you.
In Danish, "honesty" is "ærlighed" and "love" is spelled "k-ærlighed".
I love that.
Since starting a daily hour meditation practice I've found I'm doing more on your list than before. Without making an effort.
You want to learn love; get into as many relationships as possible where you have to do more for other people.
You’ll learn more in an hour with a screaming baby at 2 am than in 1000 hours of RUclips videos .
Love is like an extreme form of openmindedness. Your mind/consciousness is so abnormally open that reality itself becomes less material and more fluid - similar to being on mushrooms. This kind of openness correlates with high creativity because a lot more novel ideas are floating into your field of consciousness. But your mind is so open that these ideas literally start to morph your material world. A coffee table could start talking to you and giving you novel ideas. The trade-off is that your mind is less buttoned-up, so it literally starts to feel like you're going insane. What ordinary humans consider to be "hallucinations" not really hallucinations (since everything is a hallucination), they are just God's imagination - Infinite Imagination - at work in non-ordinary states of consciousness. How would you react if all the sudden your coffee table started to talk to you? Would you be open to listening, or would you freak out and run to the doctor to put yourself on meds to suppress it? Most people would freak out because they don't have a proper context for it. Under the materialist paradigm the only context is that you're going insane. But if you understand how consciousness works then there's really nothing wrong about it, you just have an extra-open mind. You know what happened when the US military gave LSD to soldiers to make them better killers? The soldiers refused to fight each other because they experienced too much love. You literally have to be very closed-minded to kill people! We take a kid from from Iraq and we throw him to a new planet with an alien civilization that is a hundred thousand years more advanced than humanity with teleportation devices and weird hovering technology and telepathic communication abilities and all sorts of crazy stuff, they figured out how to make their bodies immortal. Right so all this crazy stuff that they figured out from the wildest Science-fiction movies. We plop a kid from Iraq into that for a day and then we bring him back. That's a little bit more what it's like to take a psychedelic. At last they declared to me that I was becoming dangerous and that they should lock me up in a madhouse if I did not hold my tongue. Then such grief took possession of my soul that my heart was wrung, and I felt as though I were dying; and then . . . then I awoke. Appearance without substance. Everything is a hallucination. So this moment right now is a hallucination. It's always been a hallucination. That's what reality is. In psychology hallucination means perception without any input or data. So traditionally if you go to a mental hospital and you're telling them that you're seeing Love running around with stripes and polka dots, they'll say you're hallucinating.
Leo you are perfect as you are. I am eternally grateful for your existence. 💫🤗
Sometimes you gotta just sit down and listen to Leo spit knowledge 🔥

Two aspects of the path to love
Let go
&
Discipline
This man is pure legend!
How to Practice Love List:
- Giving it your attention & awareness, and your time
- Physical contact (touching, holding, hugging, cuddling) & physical proximity (just that alone can bring forth feelings of love)
- Connection: as in trying to create a connection with this other (Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual connection)
- Taking good care of it: helping to meet it’s needs, helping it survive. You recognize the beauty & value of it’s existence
- Sheltering it from excessive suffering, fear and trauma that would destroy and cripple it: without overprotecting it from developing autonomy and strength
- Having it’s back, defending it, being loyal to it
- Taking on it’s agenda as your own
- Making it’s agenda an extension of yours • making it an extension of you, another part of you
- Treating it as well as you’d like to treat yourself
- Being happy when it succeeds as though it’s success is your success, being genuinely happy for it
- Wanting for it what it wants for itself: “if I love you then I want what you want for you”
- Sacrificing for it on it’s behalf, working for on it’s behalf: if you truly love someone you are willing to sacrifice for it and work on their behalf
- Supporting it, nurturing it and encouraging it (to be their best for example: encouraging it’s own self exploration, self expression & self actualization)
- Respecting it’s sovereignty: you treat it as a sovereign consciousness
- Total acceptance of it as it is: an absence of judgement. If you love a thing you love it as it is not how you want it to be
- Valuing the thing for it’s own sake, not for what you need
- Appreciation: if you love a thing, you appreciate them as they are
- When you really love a thing and form a deep connection with it you are conscious you’re seeing it’s intrinsic beauty
- Not needing anything from this other: not making this other a tool for satisfying your own needs
- Respecting the other’s point of view: wanting to understand it’s point if view. Not forcing your agenda or point of view on them/respecting their point of view
- Listening and caring about their interests: something simple as just actually listening to it
- Sharing similar interests with it
- Sense of togetherness and company, and collaboration: working together on something
- Being there when the other feels down or hopeless: being there at their lowest
- Helping it not to feel lonely
- Validating it’s feelings: empathizing with it (“how are you feeling?”), validating it’s feelings even if their feelings are irrational to you
- Share emotions: have emotions together. Cry together, laugh together, get angry together, etc
- Caring about it’s suffering for it’s own sake: (sometimes we care about the suffering of someone close to us because we want to help them quick the suffering because it annoys us)
- Meeting the other where they’re at: especially when dealing with people who are less conscious and less developed than they are at. Meeting them at the level they can handle when necessary
- Understanding & Forgiveness: understanding especially when they make mistakes, forgiving them for it, not holding grudges or moralizing and demonizing them
- Being patient with this other: the more you love someone the more patient you are willing to be
- Seeing the God and seeing the Good in them even when they don’t: seeing their goodness underneath their selfishness, their pettiness and devilry. When you can look at the devil and see the God within is one of the highest forms of Love. When the other person is behaving despicably you can look past that and not get triggered by it, see it as a just a façade and look past that into the Godhead behind their eyes: this is powerful and advanced
- Recognition of it’s uniqueness: it is unique in the universe there is not anything like it
- (If you want a girl to make fall in love with you compliment her on her uniqueness)
- Generosity and kindness
- Verbal approval & praise
- Keeping your promises: don’t make promise you can’t keep
- Peace, maintaining peace: lack of conflict, nothing kills love more than conflict with this other (yelling, screaming, physicality), even if someone else tries to create conflict you deflect it because you love instead
- Telling the Truth: not lying. If you love someone you will be telling the truth (there is a time and place for white lies but this is a whole different thing)
- Safety & trust: if you love someone you want someone to trust you and you are willing to sacrifice yourself to maintain that trust
- Seeing the other as it is, seeing the other’s realness: warts & shadow truly as the other is. That means that if you love a thing you want to see it as it is not as something improved in the future. Love has to be an appreciation of it’s realness, of the truth, as it is, not as a rejection of truth.
- The deep appreciation of this finite portion if Consciousness as it is (your own consciousness, but a portion if it): this specific form is finite with it’s limitations and you love it as the finite form that it is
- Accepting it’s Selfishness: if you love a thing, a finite consciousness, you have to accept that this finite consciousness is going to be selfish and not try to change that. A meta trap is. The real test of your ability to love is how much can you love those people who are very unconscious and very selfish: because that’s real of them and true of them: it’s easy to love everybody when they’re enlightened. The ability to not be disturbed and to fully accept selfishness
Love = Selflessness
This is the ideal form of love: this is what a totally benevolent, selfless, all powerful, omnitient being would do in relation to you.
What breaks love?
Violence
Abuse
Hate
Aggression
Judgement
Criticism
Fear
Lying
Exploitation
Cheating
Stealing
Neglect
Not making time for
Not listening
Control
Domination
Manipulation
Demonization
Moralization
Blame
Disrespect
Ridicule
Breaking promises
Projection
Gaslighting
Not caring about the other’s suffering
Punishment: especially punishing for making mistakes
Revenge
Closed-mindedness
Trying to change the other to fit a fantasy
Ultimately: Selfishness
If Selflessness makes Love, is Love
Selfishness breaks Love
Love this! ❤️
Thank you
Beloved Leo this is a MasterPeace!
Infinitly Thankful and Loving, so loving of you to give this list, It is so precious that there are no riches in the world to equal its value so than only giving it freely in name of love feels apropriate :)
I Love You Leo
Thank you
Cheers
Thanks for your many years of love Leo
“Some call you love,
I call you the king of love.
You are beyond all imaginings,
taking me places
I can’t even dream of.
O ruler of my Heart, wherever you go...
Don’t go without me.”

Parents: there's no guide for parenting.
Leo: hold my beer
Yup no more excuses
“Hold my 5meo” 😆
Gold right here. Thank you, Leo, for yet another awesome episode!
Im working changing my people pleasing behavios, and I realized I'm always very nice and happy and everyone comments on my smile but it's not coming from a place of happiness. My aunt is happy. She is so happy that she makes you happy being around her and she just pours love over you just because she's so happy to see you. She makes you feel so loved and special and it's literally just because she's that happy. I never realized a difference but I was coming from a place of wanting them to be happy or trying to be happy or to make them happy. I kind of hurts my feelings to realize that I used to think I was so loving but it's not loving at all it's actually kind of selfish and weak.
Your videos really speak to my heart. I hope I could meet you in person a day.. and have this amazing talks under a stargaze or sunset. What a human being you are
Ur gonna have a blast visiting Thailand, the land of smiles as its called, and full of love.
I believe its more true like this:
"Making yourself an extension of them (the baby)" and not making "Them an extension of you" 😊
When reached the realisation of love in meditation, i came out with a sentence:
"Love is gifting yourself to yourself, and gifting yourself to the world and others."
The act of service to yourself and the world.
And I believe that all meaning in life as well as the feeling of meaning is in fact derived from the intended action aligned with this action guiding principle.
And i also believe that mental health struggles like depression are born in an abstract form from the dissonance between the love of yourself and the love of others.
Love is attention.
And in that love is caring and love is respect.
Love your stuff 😊❤️
You helped me alot
I feel so loved receiving and learning this list. Thank you Leo for being you and sharing the love with other people. I look forward to share the love with my partner and other people in my life
One of the best videos I’ve seen
Thanks Leo
You can think of Love as the Fuel for Personal development. 01:56:01
Thank you Leo for this great unfolding and itˆs manifestations of the deep nature of love ❤
Brilliant episode Leo.
This is so wonderful to hear. This will allow me to have a better and more fulfilling family dynamic than my parents had when I was a child, and avoid many of the mistakes they made.
God is using you for greatness sir, and I hope to shake your hand in the kingdom of heaven one day.
❤️ I salute the divinity in you ❤️
This channel helped me a lot in my hard times 1 year ago. Thank you. Keep going King o7
Love for ourselves means love for others and vice versa. It’s all the same energy
You don't seem to practice it in real life...our relationship is the proof of it!
The essence of love is the desire for all living beings to find true happiness. When we want the best for ALL creatures, then we can honestly say that we love everybody equally.
One who appears to love one person more than another, in fact, loves nobody.
True, unconditional love revolves around sacrificing one’s selfish desires for those of his or her SUPERIORS, whether that be one's parents, husband, employer, or spiritual master, even if they are imperfect.

@@ashishmaheshwari9618 Good Girl! 👌
Incidentally, Slave, are you VEGAN? 🌱
@@ashishmaheshwari9618 You 2 in a relationship? Never seen 2 people in the comment section on youtube to be in a relationship before.
Jacque Fresco said in the future people will call love "extensionality" because that word better articulates what love functionally is; the perceived extension/expansion of the self.
Spiritualization is a good word.
Closest you will get to love is that , no one is talking about it, no one is listening to it in this video.
No one wrote this.
When we "fall madly in love" , typically we say, "I lost myself".
When the reference piont, or origin disappears. "Love" is experienced.
When the framework of the mind loosens a bit, love comes "flooding in".
Because love is an experience of Self or Higher Self.
It's Free. There is no "person" experiencing it.
Just unadulterated, natural state of being. You. Beingness.
Love is the disappearance of Origin.
And simultaneously showing up as that which are.
So you can so loving acts until you find, the ultimate. All those Acts, will become an Act, singular.
Washing the dishes, tying your shoes, listening to the pencil run across paper, opening the door, posting the mail. It will become "one" act.
Life then becomes one loving act.
When it reaches this point, grace takes over progressively.
Your not leading with any motive, love becomes the motive in all situations, it becomes the reward.
Motive and reward become the same, love.
Everything merges into a loving act.
When love becomes your consistent motivation, you will sense a levity.
There's no more weight in the world, because love progressively has no attachments. Hot dog or stake, no matter. 10 dollars, 100 dollars, no matter. Sex, no sex, no matter.
Love doesn't require an outcome, when your not outcome dependant, a new kind of energy will enter your life, a higher energy, known as grace.
Grace is like not being in this world, it's like your floating. Very rare is it a person lives in the world non-outcome dependant.
Even those seeking "enlightenment" are outcome dependant.
Become the outcome of enlightenment, enlightenment is not outcome.
Become your own enlightenment, corner it, corner it by giving up your corners, your targets.
Become targetless. Have no target but love.
Love is the targetless, target.
That's why people "in love" do about just anything and the love just keeps going, growing.
When you were a kid, running through a field, there was no target, so you were in love with the moment, just running nowhere.
Then adults said "go here, and do this" and you became miserable.And you could not find your happyness.
Because happyness is not a finding, it's a losing of target, it's a losing of ambition.
When people have "no ambition", that is simply because all there ambitions have brought them misery. That is wisedom, so be ambitionless and become like the child running through the field, pure joy with no ambition.
Ironically you can get "tons of stuff done" without ambition.
It's almost as if the stuff is doing itself....that's because it is. There's no doer, we know this from childhood, no doer, and happyness.
Adult doer, and misery.
How to drop the doer? There is no doer, so don't worry about it!
All you are is a mystery, stop trying to become what you are...
So, like a child, just play. If you have to work, don't look at it like work. Forget the money, and this and that, do it but see it as play.
Love is the effortless you, shining through when you stop trying and just play.
It's only the doer, that wants enlightenment. And it becomes funny because enlightenment is simply the undoing of the doer. It's the so called ego walking to it's disillusionment.
You don't "try" and love someone.
When love happens, it's simply am obvious fact. It's beingness, playing.
Stop trying to "bag" beingness, beingness is in command, it is the bag that encapsulates everything.
You'll never accomplish what beingness has, because it's accomplish nothing! The greatest accomplishment. It's accomplished itself. Can you accomplish nothing? A space which everything happens. Of coarse you can, that's what you are.
Give up the actor, become the act, become the love that is not doing anything, it is everything.
Sometimes the most loving thing is to see that you can’t always be so!!
Because who defines what that looks like anyway?
And just because you can’t see it or understand it, doesn’t mean it wasn’t coming from love
Because it all is!!!
♥️
(I know that was the message but felt I needed to simplify it for my own self)

Leo, I love how you constantly fight yourself. It's wonderfully empowering. ❤️
