Thanks a lot. Helps a lot to review things.
Basilis Moutzouridis μπράβο ρε Βασίλη. 😉
Wow, good job. Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
You’re a hero.
Never learnt so much life changing and perspective altering information just watching one channel. Definitely consider myself lucky to have come across this. One of the best on TH-cam.
Do you have any other source that's in your best lists? Actualized is on another level in my list so im finding more high quality sources.
Thanks!
That was my thought too..well said.
same
A side from the topic itself. watching your videos are relaxing. You pause between sentences, I love it. Many other TH-camrs just shove up many info many info , super fast which transferring anxiety. They do it for the sake of algorithm but you do it for great intentions. Peace to you brother
Thanks!
Counterintuitively as a child of over controlling or abusive parents, your urge is to fight back/runaway and victimize yourself but this just perpetuates the pain and leave you stuck in the dysfunctional relationship, the thing to do that’s more effective is to love and accept them even more in a non detached way where you accept them for who they are but not form your identity around the dysfunction and through not reacting to them it can transform the relationship.
You’ve just saved me from a lot of heartache
@@arvinsloficookery shes speaks truth/this tack works a treat
@@arvinsloficookery I'm glad it helped! Took me a few years to figure it out..
brilliant!
Wow! Well put:)
haha.. just wow.. how effortless Leo is at giving such a deep profound wisdom that can't be found almost anywhere (at least marketed) Such an invaluable work you do for the human kind. You have definitely moved many many people towards higher stage of spiral dynamics. Thank you so much for living a selfless life Leo. I really do appreciate it. You are my biggest motivation.
This is one of your greatest episodes Leo 💪🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
Jenny. Thank you for that cognitive pathway you opened up in me. Beautiful perspicacious insight. Love this.
A few counter-intuitive concepts i can think of:
1. Cold turkey - It’s easier to go cold turkey and abstain completely from all temptation than limiting it.
2. Correcting someone - If someone says something wrong you want to correct them but that usually just agitates them.
3. Focusing on the negative - You usually focus on the negative because you want to fix that area to be happy but usually what happens is that the problem just grows bigger when focusing on it and you stop appreciating the positive.
4. Being passive - Doing nothing all day seems better than it is. Being active, challenging ourselves, going outside our comfort zone is what really makes us happy and alive.
5. Self help - Self help sometimes creates problems instead of fixing them. Negative sources can make you feel bad about yourself or not productive enough making you feel worse and get less productive.
The first step to overcoming a problem is admitting you're powerless over that problem. Life is all about being counter intuitive. Another example, the best way to grow confidence is by submission to those around you since your optional powerlessness will empower you to control the things you can control.
Best counter-intuitive method Ive used so far is the one discussed by Betinho Massaro in his youtube video “you can’t win from a belief. Instead admit defeat and be free.” It has changed my life.
Use this ONE WEIRD TRICK to negate existential suffering! Rationalists hate him!
LOL
HAHAHAHA epic comment!
Counter Intuitiveness Part 1
Evan Pagan’ book talks about CI in business and female attraction.
Success in anything is CI.
The fool takes the most obvious route. You should rethink most obvious ways people takes in life.
Appreciate how tricky reality is.
Always look for CI move in important decisions in life.
CI moves separate you from the herd.
CI is more like counter logical.
Intuitive solutions require you to take into account that things aren’t working in a straight linear path.
Ci is the opposite of common sense. It’s the emotionally difficult thing to do but then the logical thing is emotionally easier to do.
Wisdom itself is Ci.
Ci is how to get good in spotting wisdom.
Reverse psychology is counter intuitive.
The greatest strategists are CI
Examples.
Business:
- Pursue maximum profits in business. In a short run you can make some money but in the long run you will loose to a company that was building a strong brand.
- Try to appeal to everybody. Ci move is to think about specific market that may need your product.
- If you desperate to get a sale you will won’t get a sale. People will think that your product don’t have any value because you pushing it so hard. Ci move is to make people come to you for the product.
- 80/20 rule. 80% of your results is coming from 20% of your effort.
20% of the work you do is responsible for 80% of your profits. Ci move is to cut everything else and focus on what gives you profit.
Attraction:
Female attraction is very ci.
Being nice guy does not work, girls are attracted to assholes, because being nice means you don’t have any value. The same thing like being desperate to make a sale.
The less committed you are to a girl the more attracted she will be.
Bragging and boasting is not attractive to women.
Start talking about how low quality you are. You don’t come off as desperate and needy.
Attraction phase is only an hour long.
The hotter the girl - tell her the smaller penis you have.
Investing:
- Buy when the market is crashing. When everyone is excited and market is going up - sell.
Hedonism:
Seeking physical pleasure won’t lead to a best life possible, it leads to an enormous pain. Ci move is to pursue enlightenment.
Parenting:
Ci not to lecture a child. Child will do the opposite to spite you.
Child needs to learn from making mistakes. You want your child to experience life, to understand that failure is not bad.
Saving pennies will lose you dollars. By buying cheapest products you will loose money.
Part 2
Education:
False that most educated people are the smartest. This makes you less
conscious because you stuck in a logical mind.
Evil:
By trying to stop evil you are creating evil. Ci move is to love evil, when you have deep understanding of life you’ll see that hating evil adds move evil on top of the evil.
Love ones sins to death. Don’t try get rid of the evil by hating you own evil, this way you won’t project your evil to an external world. Melt your sins away with love.
These are live transforming examples.
By avoiding work you create twice more work.
Control:
It’s ci to give up manipulation. When you let go of control you will notice how your relationships will go smoother.
For parents: stop controlling your children. By trying to control your child to be the best they can possibly be, ironically you making them weak and reliant on you.
Being cool:
By trying to be cool you care too much and you end up being try-hard. The real cool is to not care.
Patience:
By doing stuff quicker you end up doing stuff twice.
People pleasing:
By pleasing people they end up respecting you less, not more. If you not respecting yourself why would others respect you?
Negotiation:
You need to come in negotiation not needing the thing you negotiating for. You need to negotiate from the position of detachment.
Life purpose:
You can’t follow you passion because you hung up chasing money. You not passionate about money, you passionate about passion.
Pursuing goals:
Little goals are harder to accomplish then bigger goals. Little goal won’t inspire you to pursue them. Losing 5kg is harder then loosing 50kg. Because you won’t even notice the difference there.
Meditation:
The less time you have to meditate the more you need it. It’s ci to meditate for 60mins a day. If you want to be smarter or creative stop thinking. Doing nothing is hard. Try to do nothing for 10 days. Sit for 10 days and do nothing. You the most creative when you not trying to be. On the weekends I’m the most creative.
It’s ci to be a man. By acting macho you come off as a strong beta. Embracing feminine side makes you stronger. You resist going into Green when you are not embracing your feminine side.
Ci move to give away 10% of the money you make. Not giving up money makes you think that money is scarce. Try for one year give away 10% of your income.
Part 3
Create a good portfolio.
Ci is to pick top 5% of your work and add it to portfolio. It needs to be small and well polished.
Ci move to give credit to other people, because you think that it will take credit from you. Be so confident that you didn't care about giving credit to other.
Solving problems:
Ci you have to leave the problem alone. In a couple of days solution will come and problem will be solved. You not pushing yourself to be creative.
Love:
Most of the people think that you can surround yourself with lovely objects, like having beautiful man or woman in your love. But love is not about getting stuff, it’s about radiate your love to the outer world. You can’t take love from the person who radiates love. You want to give love back because you are being loved back. Nobody want’s a love vampire.
Ci is to love yourself more when you fail. Like a mother would love as a child when you failed in something.
Relationships:
Intuitive thing to make your own needs met. I’m in a relationship with you so you can satisfy me sexually and be around when I’m feel bad.
You need to do exactly opposite.
Satisfy your own needs so much, that you don’t care about them anymore. And you can care only about your partner. Of course your partner needs to be on a same level as you.
Every time we suffer a piece of armor being created and you think that now you are invulnerable. This way you cut yourself off from life and from feelings. Ci move is to surrender your armor and make yourself more vulnerable. The best life is a vulnerable life.
Freedom:
Too much freedom is backfires and creates chaos. By creating good government regulations and strategically regulating rules - maximizes freedom.
Changing complex systems:
If you want peace you have to have strong military to youse it for defending only.
Ideals:
You think that having high ideals is really good. But by having ideals you creating something that never can be achieved. Reality is different and by having high ideals you will only suffer by not achieving them.
Anger:
You think that anger is authentic expression of your emotion. But it’s actually a denial of being hurt. And expectance of being hurt is super ci.
Suffering:
We recoil the suffering and trying to create armor to shut and destruct ourself from suffering. Ci move to do is actually fully feel the suffering with mindfulness. Suffer it really hard. By resisting suffering most suffering gets created. Embody is really hard. That’s why spirituality is so hard to master. Suffering is spiritually purifies you.
Fear:
A lot of people will think and worry and fear challenging situation. They think that if they will worry about the situation they somehow will prevent it. But by the law of attraction you will attract the situation you are thinking about. So if fearful about lack of money you will attract poverty. And it will program you into a poverty mindset.
You think about love and you needy, when you do get this relationships with your partner, you will be so needy that you will repel your partner and he will leave you. And you will leave in a self-fulfilling prophesy.
Ci with fear is to face it head on. Go into the fear and though that you will concur your fear you’ll realize that your fear is just an illusion. Illusion is an appearance that mimics reality but it really is not.
It’s ci not blame other people.
It’s ci to listen to criticism. It easier to close to criticism and criticize back. Not to accept that someone might know more than you.
Minimalism:
It’s ci to see that less is more. Minimalism is actually harder then non minimalism design.
The more minimalist live you have the more time you have to do stuff that really matters.
Open midness:
By opening your mind you become unattached to beliefs.
Selfishness:
It’s ci to live a selfish life. You’d think that by living selfish life, by trying to manipulate people and work your way to the top you’ll become happy. But ci you need to surrender this way of living and dedicate it to others. To love others, to love the world.
Projection:
When we deny something within ourself and then we see it everywhere out in the world. Your mind does it know that you doing this suppression. Anger is a projection.
Denial:
When you in denial you are in denial that you are in denial.
Skepticism:
Ci to be skeptical about your ideas and not direct it into outer world.
Thinking:
Ci to realize that there are people that has different brain and that they experience reality differently than me.
Happiness:
By seeking happiness you are already unhappy. To be happy you need to be happy by whatever is happening it the present moment. People always seek happiness in the future and they missing that happiness is in the present moment. You need to be happy when you sad or when you facing a problem and that’s ci.
Sacrifice:
It’s ci to sacrifice your queen in chess game. Most people are worried to losing you queen in life, that they end up losing your king. You need to surrender whatever you can in order to have most valuable things protected.
Focusing on one thing is ci. And not multitasking.
It’s ci to counseusly put yourself in challenging situations for self purification.
It’s ci to let go of emotions most people hold to emotions.
It’s ci to see failure as an opportunity. Not to get derailed by fail or demotivated.
It’s ci to admit that you’ve been wrong.
It’s ci not to justify yourself.
It’s ci not to change people.
It’s ci that money, sex and success don’t produce happiness.
It’s ci that achieving your goals won’t make you happy. No matter which goals you achieve you will never be happy. Because happiness is never found in the future it’s always found in the present.
It’s ci to select right romantic partner. Woman will select the biggest asshole, and men will select the most attractive woman that they can.
It’s ci love those who harm you.
It’s ci to forgive.
It’s ci that you are GOD.

1. Pursue truth at all costs. Even if self-agenda is threatened
2. Live selflessly. For others and the world
3. Love unconditionally. Radiate love

Man i love you leo so much.I want to outgrow you for you.Even my toxic parents dont love me this much.
The hardest you try to relax to more stressed you get. This counts for meditation
I didn't realize how amazing this video was until watching it 3 times. you are a true visionary Leo, not only in philosophy, but metaphysics.
σε καποια θεματα ειναι αρκετα ανοιχτομυαλος αλλα σε καποια αλλα δεν ειναι αρα ειναι λιγο υποκριτης
@@1997giannis Σίγουρα υποκριτικό και μάλιστα θα έφτανα στο σημείο να πω ελαφρώς ψυχοπαθητικό, αλλά παρόλα αυτά πιστεύω ότι η δουλειά του είναι χρήσιμη.
You’re such a beautiful human being I really can’t help to say it. Your personality is so genuinely nice I can’t help but cry sometimes, it’s such a joy listening to you.
This lecture reminds me of the first verse of . "Tao which can be said tao is not true tao. A name that can be named is not a true name."
The principle of the universe, tao, is natural. Everything should flow naturally like water. You should not create a frame and hold your thoughts. When you make an idea and concentrate on it, the idea invokes the opposite. Because everything has yin and yang, if you look at only one side, you create the opposite side as well.
If you say yes strongly, there will be a case to say no. If you say no strongly, there will be an event that you should say yes. This is the basic law of the universe.
Thank you Leo! I've been following your TH-cam channel for close to four years now, and your content has changed my outlook on life. Please keep it up 💪🏼
Worrying is like praying for something you don't want.... read that somewhere
mclbru yes have yoi heard about Abraham Hicks. the set up is kinda different but he/she says that everything we thimk about especially intensly. we attract to ourselves one way or anothet
@@petraalt57 - Thanks!
@@mclbru89 It's not like, it IS!
Its Counter-Intuitive that you have less than 1 million subscribers
Thanks Leo
Leo, you have been instrumental to my spiritual awakening. Much props to you.
Give this man an oscar already ! Leo i hope you're planning a video on SHADOW WORK.
Keep up with the great work, i hope it's making you happy as the who follow you !
Only 52 minutes in and so many pearls of wisdom and bright shining insights. Very, wow! This is going in my favorite and high level folders.
I can’t believe after 3 years this still only has a little over 100k views this is soooo magnificently life changing
I live in chronic pain and may pass soon, but your work, thanks to it being free, has kept me alive way longer than I had ever intended, and your work has helped me come to terms with death. Which is 1297387237x more than any therapist or counselor has ever done. Thank you, Leo. You genuinely have saved entire lives.
+愛ジョージ Sorry to hear that. Hope you get better.
Yes Leo, you're right, the only way for comprehension is personal action..nothing more..but such a precious help, like yours, is a very helpful guide! F.
He changed my life !
Leo is what the word genius really means, I can't tell you how grateful I am to watch all of this wisdom and take it with me everyday.
Thank you for everything.
Hi Leo. I've been watching your videos for years now, and this is my absolute favorite. Love from Malaysia.
Wow.
I have been listening to your channel all night, for several hours. What a wonderful channel you have. I felt myself relating to a lot of the things you are preaching about, but didn't truly understand them until hearing the way you put it. It's so simple. You're just literally laying the truth in front of me exactly how it is, and my mind is finally open enough to accept these realities for what they are after so much self searching. I've spent years giving other people advice that they tell me is wonderful, but I never took the time to step away from who I built myself up to be, to take my own advice. Thank you, I think you've sparked a profound change in the way I perceive things. The cogs are all in place. It's only a matter of time and real effort towards self. Who knew loneliness would turn out to be such a gift.
This is very profaund video. Counter-Intuitiveness cured my сhronic depression and low self esteem
Leo, thank you 💜 please make lots of metaphysical episodes. I’d like to continue moving forward not backwards. Thank you.
Leo...when you get all giddy about pick up I get to experience an emotion...disgust. Bait and switch is such a turn off! Thanks for the rest of your awesome wisdom! What a turn on! 😊
Leo in 2014: 'How To Make a Girl Squirt'
Leo in 2018: 'Everything Is Consciousness'
funny that that's how i stumbled upon actualized.org...............
OMG it tough the same thing just 2 days ago.. wtf ahahahahah..That's when you know the layers of ego are all almost gone. =D
@Coaldelver it is already a concept as long as you do not experience it for your self. not by thinking or accepting if non duality makes sense but experiencing.
@Coaldelver aint everything we try to explain a concept?
After all, to point to a direct experience we do need to use words/symbols
Coaldelver He already understands that.
Something counterintuitive about your channel might be the fact that you offer so much free, well prepared, genuine material, people’s natural reaction to this is: “I gotta pay this dude somehow”, at least I know that has been my reaction. Much love. (Edit) Oh, you just mentioned it lol
My family does every counter-intuitive thing you could possibly imagine. They buy the cheapest things, hate evil, use various diets instead of just changing habits, overthinks, fears etc. My family is pure blue, I don't even know how did I escape that thinking. Thanks, Leo, very valuable content.
In a world full of BS artists going after the buck instead of creating true value, actualized.org is truly an exceptional gem. Thank you Leo for your amazing work.
Well, I think Leo tries, but there are other BS artists going after the buck the put Leo to shame. Richard Dawkins is an example.
Mind blowing content on tap as always. Just the concept of "the map is not the territory" and "beliefs vs direct experience" is so awe-inspiring and counter intuitive.
Thanks a million as always Leo.
If there were one video of yours that I could share with the world, this would be it.
I always wondered why people's patterns where so self-fulfilling.
And the penny drops...
Thank you for sharing, Leo.
What Leo says at 1.16 is bang on the money and something I’ve realised I and everyone does. Literally everyone assumes that the way they see a situation is how it is, and how can others behave in a certain way considering this is how it is. Wrong wrong wrong, everyone looks at things differently, if you can re-look at a situation through the eyes of someone else (even though it makes no sense to you, just morph into their mind like it’s a game) you will have great insights, it’s like a super power
yesssssssss. Im going to apply this counter-intuitiveness even more into my life
Genius! One of the BEST videos on this channel 😱
For those who don't have time to watch the while for now, watch it from here at 1:38:58. Thank you Leo always!
After listing to this, I told a group of really hot women that I work at McDonalds and live in a cardboard box... next thing I knew, they were all over me, molesting me. Thank you Leo!
It's funny but I remember a guy to use to live in his car and he always was surrounded and making out with hot girls. Lol
This was pure genius. I needed to hear this tonight. Thank you so much for posting this.
Leo, the idea of hard work translating to success is highly counterintuitive. Many times the greatest success in any field comes as a surprise, when you didn't have the idea that you need to work hard to do something. So when you say to people on their journey to enlightenment that there's a lot of hard work ahead and you're going to have to work really hard for this, it creates the wrong mindset. Turns out the best meditation sessions come from having no expectations and dropping the I need to work hard mindset
+Shalin Mahadevia The wrong mindset is expecting great things to come to you effortlessly.
I find this counterintuitive nature with vicious dogs. The counterintuitive response is to ignore them, but that's what I find calms them down.
They probably associate my non-reactive behavior with me being a non-threat, so they back down. One would think that this response would project weakness and encourage them to attack, but they don't.
Class has begun! Got my notebook ready!
Good for you , a true student with a notebook!
@@petraalt4006 You're funny xD
This lecture should be a declaration of humanity and wisdom to the world. What a wonderful, insightful video. Thank you so so so much for your free work dear Leo. Love, Aron.
This is an exceptionally profound and intricate exploration of life's paradoxical elements. I am so grateful that there are people like Leo in the world who are so generous with their time and knowledge. I just wish that he got a lot more views.
Dammit, Leo. I get so excited every time you put out a new video. Sometimes I find myself pacing in front of the computer, clicking the new video, stopping the video, leaving the room, coming back, reading through comments, and hesitating to start it...because I know it's going to be a catalyst for self-reflecting and making life changes...which is always difficult, challenging, crushing (when I fool myself into believing I can't make certain changes), and painful as far as my ego is concerned. It fills me with gratitude just knowing that this path exists. I often wonder if I'll ever break free of my own chains and endless loops of self-deception and addictions. Thank you for helping me to realize that it is at least possible.
or the more i try to better myself and improve, the more i get flawed and fail. Also the more i secure myself, the more i become vulnerable. :) great topic.
This video is absolutely incredible. You are a goddamn genius Leo.
Thank you for this great video! It is actually about taking into account that our senses and perception are limited. So things are not logical and straightforward from our initial perspective. However, when we understand how something really works than it is straightforward and logical.
Thanks Leo 🙏 Just let you know that your work helps me a lot in my personal growth and in my self actualization work!!
I, myself, have pondered these very points of view! It's a glorious feeling to know I'm not lost in my head but extremely present.. This is one smart dude. ✌️
Holy shit, I was on my bed playing Videogames in my pajamas high of a spliff I smoked earlier, a few days after I got temporarily laid off a job in which I was trying to be an effective door to door charity Canvasser, trying to get negative thaughts out of my head
Struggling to put into practice all the spiritual teachings I've learned from watching you, stuck in a major ego backlash,
My boss told me to come back and he will hire me right back after three months and I will be working directly under him
And said alot of people do better after in their 2nd go at the job.
He said alot, "don't try to drop, just drop."
And "you create the world you think in your mind."
I've been feeling in the midst of my backlash that I need to meditate be and act and live more spiritual.
And at around the 44 minute mark of the video,
I just figured out what Yoda meant when he said, "Do. Or do not. There is no try." To Luke.
Wow this video was so good. Completely changed my perspective on money, minimalism, and creating expectations for yourself that cause unhappiness. Now I need to go watch Spiral Dynamics.
I loved what he said about little goals being harder than big goals, so true.
17:10 - Gonna try this at work tomorrow, wish me luck fellas
Even better: tell her that you have no penis at all. She'll get wet instantly.
@@mv1991 lol
I'm gonna use it at my Job interview!
@trap beat production essentials I walked into the room, as i was sitting down in a karamel brown leather chair i casually mentioned my small penis. When i looked in front of me i noticed the interviewer looking down with a grim face. There was a light above him making his eerie expression covered in shadow. Then he put on a smile, as if extremely aroused followed by a hand reaching out gesturing a hand shake. I took the hand, we didn't shake. His hand was firm, not too firm. That situation lasted for about five minutes. My hand didn't start to sweat, which he found remarkable.
I got hired.
@@spookman123456 lol
Thanks a lot Leo . Humanity needs you mate . Wish you all the best .
in my experience, sometimes life becomes counter-counter intuitive, or even counter-counter-counter intuitive..etc :)
"..really what we mean when we say counter-intuitive, is we mean counter-logical."
Counter-intuitive seems like a pretty counter-intuitive word.
47Wew I agree, intuition is usually logical so it’s basically the same
47Wew straight up
The counter-intuitive approach is the best form of self-help!
Just thank you Leo.
your videos never disappoint. and i only find it more true over time
In most videos you go in depth in one topic but this one explaining that everything is connected is much enjoyable to me maybe because it’s also my style of approach as well. Amazing video
If Leo writes some books, it'd be even more awesome.
i loved this video sometimeslife is simple as Alan Watts said about the law of the effort invested, that
Sometimes he call the "law of retrocession." When you try
stay on the surface of the water, you sink; but when
You try to submerge yourself, fleets. When you hold your breath, what
you lose, which leads one to think of a very old saying
and to whom very little is done: "Whoever saves his soul,
will lose ».
Thank you Leo for your hard work. you are doing such an amazing job and bring so much value to our lives
th-cam.com/video/SOWt2fBI1VI/w-d-xo.html
Very insightful stuff my man! - some of this stuff really hits home, Thank you for your work and Keep on keeping on!
Hey leo, how fun that you end up saying not to make an ideology out of what you put out, it's counter intuitive too, since everyone would assume that it is one, when in fact, it's not an ideology, simply plain guidance. Thank you.
I find it really satisfying how Leo pronounces 'significant' 40:00 . I find it somewhat pointless to comment about the content. Great video, as always. Lots of love, you guys !
'' … make sure you ACT!. '' ---> Definitely the key
1:04:12 anger - amazing stuff!
1:05:50 really embrace and feel your suffering, once you experience it fully you will go beyond it
1:18:35 to be happy- you need to be happy now with whatever is in the present moment,,, most people think they have to chase something or i need to create a happy situation- they look to the future which is wrong
I’ve been coming back to this episode for years
I’m still in the process of rewiring my brain
Holy shit though the amount of value in this episode alone is absolutely insane
Here’s a list of the counterintuitive moves I’m trying to implement in my life
Dont judge ever
Don’t control ever
Give people a good time
Always provide massive value socially always more than you take
Put yourself in a position of strength in life to negotiate
That strength allows you to not need the sale
If your being controlled just leave
(means you need the ability to do so)
Never fight back or condem
Love evil to death
Non reactiveness/patience
If you manage to get all of those qualities I wish I had them all
Holy hell who knows how far you could go in life
The secret though is that it all has to be CONGRUENT IT CANNOT BE INAUTHENTIC
Which means you have to work for years to make yourself a strong person
Literally rewiring the ways you respond to situations
Something to note
People go crazy if they cannot control you
They try to control you
You leave and don’t attack NEVER ATTACK
Then come back when control is gone and give them a good time
They go fucking crazy
Wow. I learned so much from all of your videos. So grateful!
It is counter-intuitive to do self-actualizing work. It gets even more serious when you give up drinking alcohol as a former skilled drinker. Ppl around me are finally getting used to me, it took almost 2mnths of blah blah... :)
Blah blah???
No offence, but to me it looks like you're getting lost in your own philosophy.
In one of the examples you said we don't need guns 'cause it won't protect us, but rather harm us ...and I totally agree with that statement. Then you go with another example where you claim we need military and guns, so we can protect our freedom.
These two doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I'm missing something??
Also, I think you're using word freedom too easily. I'm sure you already know that freedom is an abstraction and everyone sees it and interpret it differently ...while most ppl doesn't even know to define freedom.
Would love to hear from you, but I understand you can't answer on every comment here.
Also, I'll use the opportunity to thank you for all that effort, consistency and will for sharing. I've learned so much from you. Actually, you're my favorite "guru" :) out there on the net. Thank you so very much for everything!
Hey my friend! I train horses and team rope for a living. So I'm around plenty of closed mind people. And I see them change and become more open if they decide to master horsemanship. Anyway I dont know why but I've been very skeptical about you. But I totally catch the ball your throwing with your videos and I understand you. Thank you. I have nothing but you guys on u tube guiding me on this crazy journey.
Counter intuitively, when I became a martial artist, I became less violent. Because I realized what is really worth fighting for.
Happiness can only be found in the present moment- not found in the future but right now in the present moment! :D
1:18:24 by seeking happiness, youa re already unhappy, to be happy you need to be happy with what is now in the present moment
I am excited for Leo's book❤️ i appreciate you a lot!
Leo, plz make these kinds of vids more cause this seems more practical to me in the level that I am in.
I am open minded about oneness and all but I can’t jump from A to Z so easily.
Love ur vids but a lot of them are too advanced cause I haven’t gone through those experiences using drugs and meditation.
This vid was fire🔥
My man, Leo, coming up with another video on a topic that I haven't really put much thought into. I just know it's gonna be good!
Martial arts are very counterintuitive. You learn how to flow with an attack, and use your opponent’s force against them, rather than meeting it head on with brute force. I think this is influenced by Daoism and wuwei, flowing with life rather than fighting it. (Apologies if you’ve mentioned this. I haven’t watched the whole video yet😉).
+Gazstronaut Good example
+1
Another example is, that I became less violent when I became a martial artist, because I realized what is really worth fighting for.
@@lakshi4883 True. Also, the better you get, the less you have to prove, and the more respect you have for your opponent.
@@Gaztronaut LOL I be wanting to give my opponent a big ass hug after fighting.
It was counter intuitive that when I had satori it wasn’t from the 20 tabs at once I had been taken for about every week of the past year but simply from one tab of L. Less is truly more
Not really buying the 'companies who pursue maximum profit always fail'
One of your main arguments was paying the lowest possible wages destroys their company. But some companies pay absolute minimum wage and are the most successful in the world, take a look at McDonalds. And it's not despite either, you'd make a hard case for yourself if you argue they'd be more successful by paying higher wages. They're not exactly a niche either like your other argument either. Granted if you START a company, going in a niche where competition is minimal is a good idea. But economy is not just a measure of being as counter-intuitive as possible: you provide value for other people and get compensation for that, supply and demand, there's nothing counter-intuitive about that.
As a genuine question, a counterintuitive approach to wisdom would be NOT to listen to wise people. How would that work?
But yes I agree there is a lot of fruit for grasp by exploring counter-intuitive ideas. Great talk.
McDonalds started to experience a huge backlash years ago which forced them to adopt greener, healthier menu items and eliminate the supersize option. If McDonalds stays pure Orange it will eventually go out of business. Compare to Chipotle which offers more green options and look how successful it became.
If your biz strategy is to be pure Orange, you will ultimately fail as all of society around you will slowly turn Green.
I tought about this before you said it offcourse, but thank you for sharing this for free Leo. Thanks.
3:18 intro-ing with some Peterson bashing (I've listened to Peterson a lot recently, so this is my current frame of reference). Leo, was it intended as such? Would generally love to hear your opinion on all of his main talking points.
Thank you leo for all you do. Its amazing how much you do.
This counter-intuitiveness is throughly theorized in a book called Reality Transurfing, by Vadim Zeland. A mind blowing content.
Pay day and Leo’s Sunday video downloads, the two best days of the week haha
I think it would be really interesting to do a video on how counter-intuitiveness in intimate relationships work. You touched on it a little in the video but I think it would be really helpful to a lot of people, including myself. Thanks again for the excellent content!
That's so true bro I'm so good with women and I think it's just because I could take or leave them there are plenty of fish out the sea is even a website called plenty of fish can't get much easier than that
This video was my favourite!! Thanks Leo!!
Only halfway through and this has got to be the best goddamn episode.
Here is another counter-intuitive heavy thought from Bhagwan (Osho) : "The one who always struggles to understand life, don't understand life. The one who never tries to understand life, really understand life."
I quote Osho's profound words from my memory, so i think it's only a relatively quote :D....thought the essence is there.
Thank you again, leo. So selfless of you to put this level of content for free on youtube
Brooo these ads got me fucked up. Im really thinking about investing in TH-cam premium along with TH-cam music
1:18: seeking happiness- by seeking it you are already unhappy. to be happy you need to be happy right now in present moment
