Wentel the Gentle DK Yeah about 1 year 8 months for me, and meditating for a year, it actually makes changes to your brain they've done studies, I think meditation and cardio are great foundational techniques for growing oneself plus I do weights and other kool jazz, The cumulative benefits of everything add up and pay off greatly more and more with time, Obviously one must keep dedicated, focused, inspired, and disciplined. Then you won't regret it when the hard work pays off more and more months down the line. The processes for reaching true deep satisfaction have delayed rewards so most people lose focus and go for empty or even toxic stimulation
15 months of meditation here + self edducation in psychology and great things are happening. Nothing explosive. Just feeling happier every day. Life feels fine to me now, accepting it as it is without my expectations. Yet still a game that I can play :-)
Hey buddy, nothing impressive, just meditation, that's all. Just a tool to improve the the perception of the reality, you know :-) I'd recommend that to everybody, just sitting and let the things happening. Yeah, Leo is great, one can never be thankful enought for the wisdom he shares - for free, just because he's passionate about sharing the ways to happiness and freedom. Have a nice day.
Thanks for this, Leo. I have dabbled in self improvement but never put in the "hard work" that you speak of because I've always been 'content.' Recently, I've been feeding off my low-level successes in life and I'm "crashing" so to speak-- I now know that there exists high quality fulfillment, and it's my goal to seek that out every day.
Bro, its absolutely incredible creating a video with this deep insight, at a lenght of 50 min, without a single cut It keeps the whole video extremely authentic, thx you leo
@ Leo: I am pursuing MASSIVE amounts of self education, I am raising my consciousness and I am LOVING IT!!! I am building the foundation, doing the Epistemic work, started a mediation practice and am actually becoming a meditation teacher because I believe in it so much. I have been following your advice since last September and everything in my life has transformed. (People, listen to this man, he teaches the Truth!) It's a beautiful gift that you provide, Leo, thank you so much for everything you do. I am thankful on a daily basis. I've been looking for a video to show my family & friends so they can start to understand what I am undertaking, I think this is the one. As you have talked about before, it's very difficult to live amoungst the unconscious without wanting to enlighten them, so I will start with myself and just be the model. I am so grateful I discovered your teaching, and thank you for turning me on to Adyashanti's teaching, he is also so inspiring.
Leo sir, I would just like to take a moment to say that I have only recently stumbled upon your videos. I don't watch them rather, I listen to them while I'm working. (by carefully setting my cell phone in my pocket and just letting them play) You are absolutely one of the most enlightening people I've come across since becoming a bit of a "self development junkie". It's your words of wisdom that have not only made me open my eyes and say "holy shit!" to myself, but also have really helped me in my journey of becoming the best human being I can be. I'm 22 years old and I'm getting there;). Keep doing what you do best you wonderful bald man that I was so fortunate to stumble across.
the things i took away from this video : 1) being instead of having and doing, accepting yourself and not only accepting an idealized version of yourself. To realize the sensorimotor loop your function with, to realize the underlying motivations between every thought and analysis. 2) Making long term observations, and observing instances of bias and self denial, avoid over analyzing these observations. Be very honest, and surrender control. 3) Motivation for stimulation, becoming distraction free 4) The evil and suffering inside you, finding out the interactions between your motivation and the motivation of other people. Everyone you are relating to, you are relating to in a very manipulative manner.
I was a self-help junkie but during the last year, I discovered there's a lot more. This video indicated a lot of points that I've been getting more aware of. Thank you Leo.
+oAKmjp. Wrong. People don't have a "lack of perspective". They just have a different perspective from your perspective. This should not bother you. It's natural.
Thank you, Leo! I massive eye-opener was the fact that I've been having a need to have and do things to feel happy (to get the temporary feeling of happiness = sugar rush). Advocating more of my resources and time for being from now on. Going on a minimum of 7-day solo being retreat in May or August. Cannot wait!
Wow. That's all I have to say, Leo. Wow. I've been doing self actualization work for over a year and just this explanation of why I'm doing it has furthered my work. Thank you.
Great stuff!!!! I just (only 2 weeks a ago I got a complete look at the absolute, (how everything in life is connected, I realized/was made very aware that I truly am, completely responsible for my life, it came to me very clearly as I was able to see complete blackness surrounding me and all I could see was my own body as I was observing it) What an amazing EXPERIENCE!!
you beautiful son of a beach. I'm highly grateful to you and a couple other channels, that I've been following for a little while through my journey of dealing with anxiety and panic attacks, you give me a better understanding, that what causes my anxiety and that it doesn't make me weird, just overburdened by own ego. I've explored yoga and mindful meditation and each day i do it, i feel closer and closer to figuring out myself and accepting anxiety for what it is, so thank you for talking about it in your videos among many other things!
Love your work, and appreciate your help with my journey! you truly inspired me last year& have loved your insight ever since! I congratulate you on your knowledge and hunger for more! How rare and beautiful you are!!!
Leo I just followed my intuition for once looked at 50 channels i subscribed to, went to the bottom , recalled yourself and watched this one on framework of actualisation. Amazing video. I will be deeply diving into your content. For the record your video on chimpdom was possibly the most profound authentic movie i have ever seen!! Moved me way more thsn books on buddhism and rants by dakai lama. Thanks for all you do. I amnearly 48 and need ti surrender to my life purpose. Hope your course will assist. Blessings to you brother Regards Brett H
his meditation of just sitting still for hours is the strongest and fastest method of growth there is. My record is 1:40 min cause of rising back pain but I will do more and more cause I found that awareness is beyond pain, thus beyond pleasure, beyond the body. Being conscious is also pleasurable so this is beyond consciousness too.
This video answered a question that has been lingering in my head this whole morning. I haven't given myself time the past 2 weeks to watch your videos, but just today haha I had time and this was the first video that caught my attention. I thank you, for what you're sharing with everyone. This was a big confirmation for me. there are no such thing as coincidences
I found all these by myself, independent of any book, teacher, course, school of thought, etc......I didn't know it 'till recently that there's a term for it call self-actualization. It's amazing how you stumble upon things through the course of life, if you ever last long enough and far enough. I believe many more things will come to the fore soon.....
I just want to thank you for every single video you made and all the vids you're going to make in the future. You helped me so much with my journey and to become what I am now. There's still a lot of work to do, but when I look back just a few years from now ...I'm whole new person. You have my deepest gratitude
I just want to thank you so much leo for your inspiring work and insights. you are changing my life. i may not have been writing this today if it wasnt for your you. thank you. your gift to this world will pay you well in the future.
Fascinating how your videos show me the deep stuff I gotta work on in my life. Always thought-provoking and hard to accept, but keep it up, I'm searching for Truth, everything else doesn't matter.
It is hard for me to take 100% responsibility, since I started to realize how hard it is to truly change and how my emotions control me. I thought I was in control, I thought I was going the right way or at least I told myself. But I am a prisoner of my mind. I kind of feel lost.
fuck, whatever I do, whoever I listen to, I always come back at the beginning, to this channel. Life has sence again when I listen to what Leo has to say. This sounds beautiful and self-actualization is the only thing I can imagine myself doing for the rest of my life. I definiely must buy his life purpose course when I start to live alone
Man I discovered leo a couple of weeks ago. No one has blown my mind as much since alan watts. Although Leo presents a framework. Watts really just had a series of awesome lectures . I’m so glad I found him
Thank you Leo for your videos, they enlight my life! I'm so glad that there is someone like you that cares so much about personal developing and helps us out with it :) just know that you can touch even people from other countries like me 🇫🇷! I'm staying on the train!!! 😃
This description is extremely accurate of the progression I've had. Big shifts for me in the future I feel like will have to do with quality of motivation and developing unconditional love. Very challenging.
You have really helped me become a better person in life..... You have helped me unlock...parts of my mind...I'm very adaptive and acceptive..I'm the creator not the victim!
Great video Leo! Your videos have helped me improve my life greatly, and have set me on course for a more self actualized life! So thank you for that 👏
EXCELLENT VIDEO. I find that the majority of suffering stems from UNGRATEFULNESS. Mass media keeps one distracted from seeking the TRUTH that is THAT IS THAT QUITE INSIDE VOUCE OF WISDOM.
wow this is anazing i used to have severe allergues and headaches until i went to another amazing human just like you and he used accupuncture and said that is all blocked energy and my headaches and allergies were gone for two weeks and they have never been as bad!
Super DEEEP and it makes one really think and look at oneself. It will take me years to untangle my webs that bind me.. but I am motivated to keep growing. Thanks⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yes this about reconsiling the fact you are evil is very important. In doing so you can avoid becomeing a terrible version of yourself. Would like a longer video on this topic :)
God, Leo... We are on the same page man. All of these bullshit commenters are so miserable in life. I feel so bad for them. They don't even realize what they are, and what is around them. I hope they find it, and I hope they provide all the motivation you need to keep moving forward with your work. Also, I created a username (gopackgo) on your site, and I have learned so much from the wonderful people there. Thank you for always being a reassuring factor in my development. You have sped it up so much by making the abstract insights in my meditation into concrete and actionable knowledge. Every extra second that I have obtained through these time saving practices you have provided is so valuable. I have so much further to go, but at least I am living right now instead of in a dream state.
Awesome video. Self-acceptance and self-love have been and still is the most important part for me now. I suffered a lot from not accepting my self and basically fighting an inner battle. Thanks for the video, Leo :)
Oh dear god I am thankful for 2 things at this moment. 1. I'm 17. So I don't have much responsibilities and attachments. This has made my self actualization journey way, way, way more easier. 2. Leo Gura. Thanks bro. You've basically saved my life
thanks.. thank you Leo thank you so much I watched this episode two times you helped me a lot am so glad that I subscribe to your channel since 2014 and saw most of your videos
I don’t think it’s fair of you to say someone has failed at being human. Most everything you say is enriching and enlightening but I think it’s narrow to say that someone has failed at being human. Humanity and the balance of the world humans exist in is not so simple as to say if you don’t achieve certain things or enlightenment even that you have failed at being human. You may have failed in a few aspects or in many different ways in life or maybe you’ve failed many people but I think it’s still wrong to say someone can fail at being human. This is what art and history are for. Can we agree leo?
Leo please please please do the video on detachment. That's definitely one thing that I am unsure about in my life. I'm not sure if I'm detached in an egocentric way or detached in the way that is the result of personal development. I used to do a lot of pickup and seemed to gain a sense of detachment from relationships/friendships but I also do personal development so its like where is this detachment coming from?? I form some sort of relationship with everyone at work then when they wanna hang out its like "no I'm focused on my growth." I don't hang out with anyone because I don't want them to hinder my growth. Fuck, I'm definitely really selfish.
The Snow Path by Ko Un (1933- ) Now I am gazing at the snow path that covers up what has passed. After wandering through the whole winter, I am gazing at this foreign territory. The scene of snow falls in my heart for the first time. The world is at the edge of meditation, a world covered with exuberant peace no country that I have traveled has ever seen. I am gazing at the invisible movements of all things. What is the sky where the snow is falling? Listening closely, through the falling snow, I hear the grand earth’s confession. I can hear for the first time. My heart is the snow path outside, and darkness within. After wandering though this world of winter, I have come now to guard the great quiet, and, in front of the piling snow, my heart is darkness.
Has anyone had this experience. I was on the last set of my pressups the other day and the muscle pain was excruciating I do quite slow (high time under tension.. shout out to coach Wade) just wanted it to end and I suddenly had the realisation that I was trying to avoid the pain rather than becoming one with it. Mid set (It was a 30 rep set and I was on my 5th or 6th rep) I decided to count time based on effective action (each rep) and fully experience it rather than resist the pain. I kid you not the pain almost immediately subsided substantially and I actually enjoyed the tension building in my muscles allowing me to push past 30. I've since been applying this to other tasks with mixed results by setting time for tasks and fully immersing myself in micro results moving towards the overall result of the task. Ive always struggled with this concept I'm not sure but I think this is what Leo means here when he says "be" to be don't "do" to "have". In that the focus on presence brings enjoyment in and of itself even beyond the task based understanding I describe. In contemplation and relation to others as well. 👳
more letting go of the need to control = more freedom and enjoyment of life. Balance here with control to point you in a good direction, but with the ratio more towards letting go for happiness. Live by intuition instead of logic and it will lead you to good places, use logic as a tool to serve intuition.
2 Years watching Leo's videos I meditated for 10 months now and I must say my life is just getting better and better
Wentel the Gentle DK
Yeah about 1 year 8 months for me, and meditating for a year, it actually makes changes to your brain they've done studies,
I think meditation and cardio are great foundational techniques for growing oneself
plus I do weights and other kool jazz,
The cumulative benefits of everything add up and pay off greatly more and more with time,
Obviously one must keep dedicated, focused, inspired, and disciplined. Then you won't regret it when the hard work pays off more and more months down the line. The processes for reaching true deep satisfaction have delayed rewards so most people lose focus and go for empty or even toxic stimulation
you're welcome.
15 months of meditation here + self edducation in psychology and great things are happening. Nothing explosive. Just feeling happier every day. Life feels fine to me now, accepting it as it is without my expectations. Yet still a game that I can play :-)
15 months impressive Buddy. I started when I saw the video that Leo made about meditation for beginners 10 months ago.
Hey buddy, nothing impressive, just meditation, that's all. Just a tool to improve the the perception of the reality, you know :-) I'd recommend that to everybody, just sitting and let the things happening. Yeah, Leo is great, one can never be thankful enought for the wisdom he shares - for free, just because he's passionate about sharing the ways to happiness and freedom. Have a nice day.
You really made a big difference in my life. Do you even realize how amazing you are?
Thank you!
I gotchu.

As usual...I feel renergized after your video. Thanks bro
we see the same video but we don't get the same message.
funny how the lack of perspective can make people get something completely different from a message.
+oAKmjp. Wrong. People don't have a "lack of perspective". They just have a different perspective from your perspective. This should not bother you. It's natural.
Thank you, Leo! I massive eye-opener was the fact that I've been having a need to have and do things to feel happy (to get the temporary feeling of happiness = sugar rush).

It's really a big picture but not only of self actualization , but of whole life .
good job Leo and keep going
Just found your website last night and started watching your videos. Thanks so much for your hard work. 🙏
Wow. That's all I have to say, Leo. Wow. I've been doing self actualization work for over a year and just this explanation of why I'm doing it has furthered my work. Thank you.
"There's no way that can't happen to you."
Thank you so much for that, just what I needed to hear now.
Great stuff!!!! I just (only 2 weeks a ago I got a complete look at the absolute, (how everything in life is connected, I realized/was made very aware that I truly am, completely responsible for my life, it came to me very clearly as I was able to see complete blackness surrounding me and all I could see was my own body as I was observing it) What an amazing EXPERIENCE!!

five years, frequently pursuing self-actualization. The best video I've ever seen on this topic. The holistic understanding is massive. PERIOD.
Deep, wise and enlightening. Fantastic stuff, love your brand, Leo!
I just want to thank you for every single video you made and all the vids you're going to make in the future. You helped me so much with my journey and to become what I am now. There's still a lot of work to do, but when I look back just a few years from now ...I'm whole new person. You have my deepest gratitude
Yay! Just thought this morning, "I need some advice and understanding about detachment." Ask and you shall receive the promise of a future video!
Awesome! Thanks a ton Leo!
One of your best videos! Good to know you gonna go in depth with the details!
I just want to thank you so much leo for your inspiring work and insights. you are changing my life. i may not have been writing this today if it wasnt for your you. thank you. your gift to this world will pay you well in the future.

It's amazing how well Leo's teaching blends with that of Gurdjieff's.
LEO, my deep THANKS for your work wisdom and enthusiasm. Love , Kasiia
Thank you for your great dedication Leo!!!!!!!!
Another wonderful video, thanks, Leo! The short discussion on self-acceptance is extremely insightful to me!
Again thanks! Have a great moment!
I feel so privileged to have found this channel.
Such a beautiful life changing well made video
Literrally covers EVERYTHING needed to become a better version of yourself
I always end up with headaches after leo's videos and need somewhat of a break in between, most of this stuff is pretty overwhelming
Leo, brother, you've made a great piece of work. I love philosophers and your knowledge is of great use. Thank you very much.
fuck, whatever I do, whoever I listen to, I always come back at the beginning, to this channel. Life has sence again when I listen to what Leo has to say. This sounds beautiful and self-actualization is the only thing I can imagine myself doing for the rest of my life. I definiely must buy his life purpose course when I start to live alone
Amazing amazing amazing guide. Thanks as always Leo! Much Appreciated!
This is exactly what ive been experiencing and putting into practice. Your video confirms for me that iv been growing.
Man I discovered leo a couple of weeks ago. No one has blown my mind as much since alan watts. Although Leo presents a framework. Watts really just had a series of awesome lectures . I’m so glad I found him
Thank you Leo for your videos, they enlight my life! I'm so glad that there is someone like you that cares so much about personal developing and helps us out with it :) just know that you can touch even people from other countries like me 🇫🇷! I'm staying on the train!!! 😃
I am a newbie I am very interested and immersing myself in self-actualization. Thank you Leo for what you do and for who you are
Just wow wow wow. On the journey, have those glimpses but trying to transcend into life. Thank you
This description is extremely accurate of the progression I've had. Big shifts for me in the future I feel like will have to do with quality of motivation and developing unconditional love. Very challenging.
You have really helped me become a better person in life..... You have helped me unlock...parts of my mind...I'm very adaptive and acceptive..I'm the creator not the victim!
Thank you Leo
So wise for one so young, am loving listening and would like to do some growth work, a few addictions to overcome, difficulties for sure!
Same! I have a few addictions I need to address. I started back on the path with meditation
Man this video... just phenomenal! I say this about every video.
Great video Leo! Your videos have helped me improve my life greatly, and have set me on course for a more self actualized life! So thank you for that 👏
Thank you so much. This is the video I needed and deserved. I just got one step closer to leveling up.
Thanks for this. I appreciate the direct approach!
Leo your website is a boon for mankind. thanks a lot for your video's
Thanks Leo! GREATLY appreciated
thank you so much for your amazing videos leo
I am happy that leo is my teacher in my journey
I'm glad you're back!
EXCELLENT VIDEO. I find that the majority of suffering stems from UNGRATEFULNESS. Mass media keeps one distracted from seeking the TRUTH that is THAT IS THAT QUITE INSIDE VOUCE OF WISDOM.
Thanks Leo, this is deep.
So helpful and so very much needed, thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Hey Leo, thank you.
wow this is anazing
i used to have severe allergues and headaches until i went to another amazing human just like you and he used accupuncture and said that is all blocked energy and my headaches and allergies were gone for two weeks and they have never been as bad!
great video Leo. Pulls together alot of your previous work. You the man!
Super DEEEP and it makes one really think and look at oneself. It will take me years to untangle my webs that bind me.. but I am motivated to keep growing. Thanks⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great video Leo, once again you've left me pondering and evaluating my life's trajectory.
He dropped the Truth-Bomb.
Yes this about reconsiling the fact you are evil is very important. In doing so you can avoid becomeing a terrible version of yourself. Would like a longer video on this topic :)
Kudos on this Leo! Inspiring. This should be the trailer for your channel.
God, Leo... We are on the same page man. All of these bullshit commenters are so miserable in life. I feel so bad for them. They don't even realize what they are, and what is around them.

wow, it amazing that he literally talked for 49m straight
Thanks Leo for yet another great video !
I love your videos Leo!
Awesome video. Self-acceptance and self-love have been and still is the most important part for me now. I suffered a lot from not accepting my self and basically fighting an inner battle. Thanks for the video, Leo :)
Good job Leo! I'm happy for you bro!
Oh dear god I am thankful for 2 things at this moment. 1. I'm 17. So I don't have much responsibilities and attachments. This has made my self actualization journey way, way, way more easier. 2. Leo Gura. Thanks bro. You've basically saved my life

great video again, looking forward to that getting started video :-)
The Snow Path by Ko Un (1933- )
Now I am gazing
at the snow path that covers up what has passed.
After wandering through the whole winter,
I am gazing at this foreign territory.
The scene of snow
falls in my heart for the first time.
The world is at the edge of meditation,
a world covered with exuberant peace
no country that I have traveled has ever seen.
I am gazing at the invisible movements of all things.
What is the sky where the snow is falling?
Listening closely, through the falling snow,
I hear the grand earth’s confession.
I can hear for the first time.
My heart is the snow path outside,
and darkness within.
After wandering though this world of winter,
I have come now to guard the great quiet,
and, in front of the piling snow,
my heart is darkness.
Feels so good to resonate with this kind of content
The ending was so brutally dark .. But intuitively correct.
Has anyone had this experience.
I was on the last set of my pressups the other day and the muscle pain was excruciating I do quite slow (high time under tension.. shout out to coach Wade) just wanted it to end and I suddenly had the realisation that I was trying to avoid the pain rather than becoming one with it.
Mid set (It was a 30 rep set and I was on my 5th or 6th rep) I decided to count time based on effective action (each rep) and fully experience it rather than resist the pain.
I kid you not the pain almost immediately subsided substantially and I actually enjoyed the tension building in my muscles allowing me to push past 30.
I've since been applying this to other tasks with mixed results by setting time for tasks and fully immersing myself in micro results moving towards the overall result of the task.
Ive always struggled with this concept I'm not sure but I think this is what Leo means here when he says "be" to be don't "do" to "have". In that the focus on presence brings enjoyment in and of itself even beyond the task based understanding I describe. In contemplation and relation to others as well.

Thank you Leo!
more letting go of the need to control = more freedom and enjoyment of life.
Balance here with control to point you in a good direction, but with the ratio more towards letting go for happiness.
Live by intuition instead of logic and it will lead you to good places, use logic as a tool to serve intuition.
one of the best videos you have ever posted Leo, keep it up!
Sometimes i feel i need to go back to all your videos and make notes :)
This was a fascinating and an informative episode , thank you.
This man is a gift to humanity
