The 9 Stages Of Ego Development - Part 3

[@p0intblAnkwaziT]

Junior year of high school I hit rock bottom and woke up 0-100: from a completely unconscious mind to completely ego aware... I switched to online school and spent two years completely deconstructing my ego, calling every thought, belief, and idea I had into question. It was like I was seeing myself in 3rd person: I was watching myself imagine myself in real-time. The most bizarre, scary, horrifying thing that can happen to someone. It's like you're living inside of a snowglobe, and the glass completely shatters; you're left standing on the outside looking at the log cabin that was your entire life. "Groundlessness", as Leo discussed, hit an emotional chord. I remember feeling like an infinite, non-dual, dream, with no grounding. This was extremely terrifying to someone who's never even looked into spiritual work... Took my three years to really reorientate myself with reality - Thank you, Leo. You've given me context to work through what happened to me. Without your work, I would have spun into madness and insanity. You saved my life

[@kristilu1987]

Good for you! I'm so struggling to balance spirituality and "real" life, maybe some tips here? Couse I feel lonely, groundless and I find it really hard to funcion in my society

[@p0intblAnkwaziT]

@@kristilu1987 preface: I'm not expert - I'm just a regular dude going through his journey. Ride out the wave is the best advice I can give. In high school, trying to "balance" life & spirituality would have been futile - I was so disconnected from every day Earthly things... Miles & miles away. My soul needed to go through the ego deconstruction process. If that's where you're at, ride the wave and exhaust that process (i.e., balance might not be what you need). I'm 21 now, a Junior in college, and my life took an incredible 180. I've put in about 4 years off deep deep ego reconstruction work; now I'm making $500-1,000 a day, I have some absolutely amazing people in my life, and things are cool. I'm relaxing going with the flow and allowing myself to go through what I was sent here to go through. (I emphasize that to show you that life is a process...) Roll with where you're at - where you are at now isn't where you will be 5 years from now. I send love & positivity your way

The 9 Stages Of Ego Development - Part 3 [Note: yes, I have written notes for the past 2 videos] **General** - It can be counter-productive to skip stages - Don't rush trying to get towards enlightenment or awakening. If you do, you won't be able to sustain it - Use this model to analyze what kind of people you are dealing with in your life - Use this model to determine what kind of teachings you need! - Focus on all the stages, if you don't do so, you will stagnate and will feel frustrated **Construct-Aware/ Magician** - mind and the material reality is tangled together is constructed - Realize that life is not an objective but rather a subjective and deeply personal thing - at this stage, you are concerned about what it means to be alive and the significance of your existence - everything that is held true is called into question once again - When you realize how much of reality is constructed by the mind, reality starts to feel intangible and groundless - Keen awareness of how the ego-mind distorts reality and comes up with models and understandings of reality to suit itself for the purpose of survival (Check out the 2 part series of understanding survival. Very Imp) - The realization that all objects are human-made constructions - keep appreciation between the idea of map and the territory - Realize how much language shapes your reality and understanding of the world - Cognizant of the pitfalls of language and it's a tremendous gift to mankind - Getting skillful at playing with the language and not getting stuck - Realize that concepts only make sense with what it surrounds and polar opposite - Awareness of how abstractions and concepts get made by the mind and responsible - hitting up with the limits of the human mind - conventional belief in the permanent, objective, external world starts to be questioned - The distinction between mind and body, self and others starts to break down - Objective and clear self-identification starts to be questioned at this stage - this stage has a flexible, continuously, deconstructing, non-reified notion of self - an acute awareness of the endless interplay of polar opposites - good at cross paradigmatic thinking - They have a global historical perspective - stepping back and awareness of meaning-making 41:27 - 42:16 (Very profound) - realization of the human need for map making and trying to organize experience and knowledge in ever more complex matrixes and meta-theory - Deconstructing personal stories and letting it go - Deception stages: Level 1: We have no idea that we are deceiving ourself Level 2: Start to get a little bit of idea that we are deceiving ourself Level 3: HOLY SHIT, I am deceiving myself and I am aware that I am deceiving myself, I CAN"T STOP deceiving myself because I am attached to it. Can't figure out how to let go yet. Level 4: You will be aware of self-deception that you will stop it before it starts. - Constantly questioning your own questioning process - there is lastish effort by the ego to create comprehensive maps and reality possible - theories incorporate other theories and become ever more complex - sense of isolation that comes in this stage as nobody is able to understand you and your complexity - start seeing the absurdity of map-making and stuff like this - glimpses of consciousness beyond language - a different relationship to knowing is necessary - An acute awareness of ego tricks and mechanisms - Ego functions as the CPU for all the stimuli and central reference point for all identity formation - realize how deeply you get stuck in the ego and how helpless and powerless it is to break out of it - The ego desires ego transcendence but it feels stuck even in it's own desires - The more one tries to break free, the more one gets stuck - Awareness of thoughts and how limited it is - all cognition is realized as constructed and split off from underlying non-dual territory - The concept of ego now becomes questionable - the mind wants to get free of linguistic filters but is stuck in its illusion - Duality is recognized which mutually necessitate each other - deep awareness of how one's unhappiness and judgements create unhappiness and so there is a lot of shedding and letting go of judging - seeks deeper compassion of self and others - has a dynamic and multidimensional understanding of human nature and human interaction - living in the edge of meaning and meaninglessness - awareness of one's own emotions and rational processing patterns but you have to use both - awareness of pseudo-reality created by words - rational explanations seem to be futile and impossible - the language itself is a tool of ego constructing and defending itself - capacity to draw from and appreciate insight from non-rational sources - momentary experiences where the knower and known merge and the personal self disappears - temporary freedom of the ego's constants effort to control - Ego can use this information to tute its own horn - As leaders, people tend to build their own novel organizations and work alone to make the best contribution to humanity that they can - take the role of catalyst and transformers inside organizations - tend to be consultant, mentors, therapist and coaches - open to not knowing - need to look good goes away - need for defensiveness starts to melt away - less need to impress others - depression at this stage is the man's existential aloneness and inability to create lasting meaning through a rational process - capable of perceiving the structure of its own thinking and feeling habits - language is much more authentic, vivid, complex and playful. It's more direct and raw - there is an attempt to let go of conscious structuring of what one says or does - catches himself in self-deception and catches himself and auto-corrects - Recognizing self-deception is an opportunity to grow and change your belief system - Ken Wilber uses two terms when referring to this stage: Vision logical and centaur(half animal half human and both learn to coexist) - questions the need of making order out of chaos - think of reality as an undifferentiated whole and realization of the interconnectedness of all things

[@popupexistence9253]

**Unity** - Directly conscious of what absolute truth is - ability to witness the whole song and dance of life - step outside of the human mind - Witnessing and being is the primary mode in this stage - All experiences are seen as valid - open to fully experiencing whatever enters your consciousness - relish in the mystery of being. There is a profound sense of aww and wonder that overtakes you - Reality becomes magical - cosmic perspective in this stage - they can take many perspectives and shift focus effortlessly among them - mystical states are no longer glimpses but steadily established - Peak experiences have a familiar and comfortable quality to them rather than being scary or alien - The peaks of earlier stages become the ground - from moment to moment, only the present is real - feel like you are one with nature - deeper stages manifest deeper security of being. There is a deep sense of fulfillment and completion of the self - don't judge people at any stage - non-controlling tends to have a lot of humility and grace, has down to earth quality with simplicity on the other side of complexity - all personal achievement and strivings are nothing but one drop in the ocean of human evolution 1:27:56 - 1:29:40 Life purpose insight. Beautiful - tend to act as a catalyst in shaping human life - have an intense non-demanding relationship with people - other people feel worthy and whole in your presence - No longer have a desire to live one way or another - Deep feeling of being complete - able to let go of unattained goals and desires and able to rest in the experience of being - non-attachment to outcome - spontaneous insight becomes common. - reality seems to be a universal Mind with capital M - direct consciousness of god - Marvels at the unitive nature and perfection of all the creatures - the mundane becomes supernatural - every word object, the theory is understood to be a human construct separating and creating boundary where it's non-existent - feels tolerance and compassion with all manifestations of life - respects the essence of others, therefore, does not need them to be different from how they are - intune with goodness truth and beauty - has great wisdom - channel deep insights or wisdom directly from the source or universal wisdom - tend to work for justice, stages and benevolence towards all - Starting to see all conflict is a lack of perspective - deep understanding of the ignorance of others. - spontaneity and straight-forward simplicity becomes an essential element of wisdom and ego transcendence - vast mental space to roam - letting go of defence mechanisms and control - profound integration of the masculine and the feminine sides of oneself - all the dualities are healed and made whole - There is a cosmo centric perspective - dis-illusion of the notion of evil and their enemies - the only way to "defeat" evil is by slaying your own self biases - Realization that all of reality is imaginary - This is where you tap into true happiness, true satisfaction, tanquility and eqinominity. - realization that birth and death are imaginary. Realize that reality is absolute love. - realization that self is other - realization of the aloneness or the oneness of the soul - realization that all fear is an illusion - realization that all judgement is ignorance - awakening of the heart - realization that good life is to simply live selflessly - compassion for all human suffering and conflict, war, argument, disagreement and evil - Complete understanding of why humans behave as they do - There is just profound silence Conclusion: - This is just the beginning - Use this as a roadmap - convince yourself with the importance of doing some of these things - become comfortable that you won't know how it happens, trust that you will figure it out. - Do your own research! Thank you Leo for your unconditional sharing and others who motivated me to write these notes

You dont know yet how to escape the deception every time, and at the Ultimate stages you will be able to se the the deception so quick that you will be able to stop it before it even starts But that's on the Unitive stage, not here at the Magician stage - ~47:00 You become aware of the self at the center of this construction process of the mind - ~47:30 the self is warping all of reality to suit itself so that it can survive as a self, because the self is not a physical thing It's merely the union of all of it ideas about itself, in a sense if you stop thinking about yourself, you will disappear as a self which is why the self is constantly thinking about everything including itself, relating everything to it self in order to construct it sense of self and this is how you construct your entire life, this is how you were actually "born" Birth is not a physical activity, it's a process of thinking yourself as a self and therefore you create the self And of course death is the same thing. "Once you reach this stage you will understand that even this model itself and all of all such models like spiral dynamics and any kind of model of enlightenment and awakening, that all of these models are still gross over simplifications and ultimately are just a map and not the territory itself and you are gonna have to let these model go if you want to go even higher, reach even higher levels Going beyond the human mind" - 51:30~ There is a sense of isolation that comes at this stage as almost nobody is able to understand you and your complexity everybody else seem so simple minded and naive, dealing withe the loneliness of the spiritual path and self actualization At this stage you begin to understand the limits of models, maps and theories and you understand that you got to surrender them to advance to the next level - 54:00 you start to transcend the symbolic and the mental domain you start to get little glimpses of what it's like to go beyond language Consciousness Beyond language non-symbolic consciousness Of course as you're dealing with all this this it can create a lot of suffering because you're hitting up against the limits of the human mind and you're not quite sure how to go beyond it, you don't have a lot of good role models and examples of people in your life who have done this and who can talk to you genuinely about the real obstacles and questions that need to be addressed in order to go beyond the limits of the human mind You realize at this stage that it necessary a different relationship to "knowing" you start taking Epistemology, philosophy and questions more seriously, you start to question what know is and more at - 55:20 "all meaning is created by the self for its own purposes" - 56:40~ "every thing you want to do is a selfish thing because you want to manipulate reality to be some way so just go with the flow" - me adding "everything you feel/see/ect is filtered through the lens of the ego mind and distorted by the ego mind" At this stage you realize how deeply stuck you're in the ego nd now you're almost helpless and powerless to break out of it, The ego at this stage starts to desire ego transcendence but it feels stuck even in its own desire The more ones tries to break free the more one gets stuck As you go through that struggle consciously, mindfully you learn to let go and surrender and to take a different approach rather then to control You realize how stupid judging is and how much unhappiness and suffering it creates for you A Person at this stage seeks deeper compassion for self and others A Person at this stage is living at the edge of meaning and meaninglessness and he os sort of in the middle because he will have problems on both edges There is an awareness of ones own emotional, rational processing and patterns, you realize how much emotions, rationality and logic manipulates and really you can't trust either yet at the same time you have to use them both There's a lot of sense of: "well, here my ego goes again" and you watch yourself mindfully At this stage you must learn to live in a tension between paradox, relativity, meaning and meaninglessness All habits of mind, thinking and theory making start to be seen as elaborate defense mechanisms against knowing the impermanence of the embodied self There is an awareness of pseudo-reality created by words, rational and objective explanation of reality and self are seen to be futile and impossible. Language itself is seen as a tool of the ego constructing and defending itself There is an awareness of fundamental limitations of all rational thought and of language - 1:08:50 There is a capacity now to do draw from and appreciate insights from non-rational sources these capacities significantly increases beyond earlier stages The access to intuition, bodily states, feeling dreams, archetype and other trans-personal material increases These trans-rational, non-rational, non-quantifiable sources of insights and knowledge become more than rational deliberation and logic. You interfacing with reality by integrating feeling, intuition, visions, dreams, experiences, hunches and even rational deliberation, all of it get integrated together to create the best of all those possible modalities and you are able to be flexible and fluid in how you use this entire mechanism of understanding in different situations in reality - 1:10:00 At these stage there are momentary experiences that the knower and the known merge and the personal self disappears, these are first glimpses of mystical/untive/non-dual experiences They are not permanent, and there is a desire for such experiences There are temporary moments of freedom from the ego's constant efforts at control There is a trap where a spiritual ego starts to develop here. As leader, people at construct aware stage tend to build their own novel organizations and to work alone to make the best contribution to humanity that they can They take the form of catalyst and transformers inside of organizations These people tend to be consultants, mentors, therapists and coaches People at this stage are seriously open to not knowing unlike previous stages There is more comfort in not knowing, with the mystery of life and reality - 1:12:45 There is less of a need to defend yourself and look good, this need melts away There is an ability to be open and vulnerable about one's own flaws, less of a need to impress others or to manipulate others Depression at this stage is about man's existential aloneness and inability to create lasting meaning through the rational process, sort of the depression of hitting the limits of the human mind 4 Categories of The Ego: 1.

I was always very conscious and when I was sixteen I entered the strategist stage. This was very hard on me since no one seem to understand how I saw things. I was so conscious of my ego and didn't know what it was and I felt like I was going crazy. I felt a phony and at times like there was a demon inside of me. Luckily at 21 I encountered your videos and this helped me understand a lot. I then noticed I created a new (highly developed) ego which I was getting lost in. I decide not to watch any more videos and not to read anything about the topic anymore. I needed to know for sure this was all true and the only way I could know this was by realizing everything myself. Five years of hard work later I reached unity. For the first time I saw the truth, myself, God and everything for what they really are. I never saw how extremely self-oriented I was until that moment and all I want to do now is to be selfless and to be a part of something bigger than myself and be a no-one. Of course my construct-aware ego still kicks in 50% of the time, which needs to make sense of it all so I decided to look for this vid on your account, I had a feeling you did something on this. And I'm so happy I did. I usually feel so lonely on this topic so it felt amazing when every word you said resonated with me and felt like truth. I'm thankful for your video because this gives me the understanding of last remaining ego that's still there and the courage to let go of it. You really helped me get here and I thank you for that. And it's really fun to see how you've changed in these last five years. I can see you begin to fully embody God.

This really connected with me - I had two 5meo experiences at age 23 that blasted me into the unitive stage but I found them traumatic and struggled to integrate. Now, two years later I'm still working to reach into the pluralist and strategist stages. I was thoroughly humbled by trying to skip over stages and find pushing one stage or so upwards (as Leo says) to be much more relevant, pragmatic and fulfilling. Thanks Leo!

[@randyniederman8165]

I have really liked this 3 part model. I like that Leo lays it out in the beginning that one has to achieve success in the basics before moving on and transcending. Similar to Leo, I have been doing this work all my like. In the beginning through college degrees (Philosophy, Psychology) and then on my own. During the Great Recession I went from being a professor to being long term unemployed (52 yo). All my learning helped me cope, but still it was over whelming and disappointing to be poor and struggling with little hope of improvement. More and more I felt my philosophic pursuits had been for nothing, that I should have played my cards more conservatively and focused on career. Even so, I continued to study and contemplate philosophy because that is who I am - what I do to make sense of things. I got lucky, the economy bounced back and I found a good job in an ER as a social worker. Once back at a point of economic security I was so grateful and it became a turning point in my development. At this point I'm well into the Construct Aware stage. Leo is right about how lonely it can be at first. But with Leo's help, I've come to see how LOVE plays such a large role in the Universe. Now I am more able to feel and see love around me, which goes a long way to get rid of loneliness. Still it's WORK WORK WORK. Long ago my mentor told me Self-actualization requires constant work, just to 'stay where you are', and more work to advance. I am so grateful to Leo for posting these free videos, which have been so helpful at this point.

All jokes aside, thanks so much for your wisdom, my gratitude has never been as whole as it has been…thank you for giving me the strength to find this part of me, beneath the ego, I have never had any examples. I have finished watching the first two videos and right now I stopped at 1:24:18 and I have been taking your videos slowly and one day at a time because there is so much content. I have had to stop so many times in this last video….it was worth watching the first two, know I fully understand the symbiotic process of….how consciousness is a phenomenon that happened to help us as animals…not sure how the video will end from here but I have grown already so much and I feel so much more happier and fulfilled in myself. I just started getting into your content over the summer when I was chasing validation so much. I was insecure, I was trying to fill a hole in me that could never possibly be filled by extrinsic factors. I was so brain washed…convinced myself I wasn’t brain washed. Your work is noble, looking forward to getting to the end when I get to it. Thanks to you I have found a light in me…

Hi Leo, I just adopted a cat and I called him Leo after you! 😻

[@TroyArn]

hi Leo. thank you for these teachings. I've been studying since birth and reached the spiritual pinnacle you spoke of about 3 weeks ago, fortunate, as it prepared me for a rather intense experience. long story short, i was hiking and encountered a Grizzly Bear. being enlightened, I had no judgement about him and so took no evasive action as he approached, attacked, and consumed me. my screams of terror and pain were suppressed when I remembered: I'm god, the bear is god, and we're not actually separate. I WASN'T being eaten by a bear! At that moment I giggled, much like you giggle. I'M ACTUALLY EATING MYSELF! It was quite the trip. And like you said, it's true - there IS no such thing as death. while my discarded form is mostly poop on the forest floor, I'm pure energy now, posting this from an Internet cafe on the other side which I know you've spent a great deal of time. it's called "Leo's Ass".

[@lifequestproperties]

Leo, I just finished watching all 3 parts and wow 🤯🤯🤯 I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this most profound of insights. I feel like someone just handed me the keys to the kingdom of truly understanding our reality and existence. So much of what you shared in this series resonated so so deeply, at such a deep soul vibratory level. I have been consuming your content for years & it has helped me tremendously through various struggles & challenges of life. That said, understanding these 9 stages is next level by leaps & bounds. It is EXACTLY what the universe knew I needed at this pivotal point in my journey towards self realization. I was blind but now I see. Thank you my man for all that you do and for your stand & passion for the evolution & healing of humanity. This planet is better with you here. Blessings brother ❤️ 🙏

I just want to thank you Leo, the first video i watched of you was 6 years ago about visualization, but i wasn't ready to learn about the more profund stuff that you talk about. I kept studying for 6 more years but then, 2 weeks ago i found a tiktok of u talking about the "real matrix" and i decided to give you another shot, and man, that was the wisest decision in my life.

[@CrownedWithGloryReborn]

Bravo! I finally finished the entire series and so glad I did. Thank you! This helped me understand some things I’ve been struggling with over the last year. I had a massive ego-death from 2017-2019, at which point I adopted the motto, “Lock your doors. Lock your windows. The zombie apocalypse is real.” As an INFJ personality type, I honestly questioned If some of these ‘people’ are NPCs in this matrix. 😆 I struggled to understand WTF is their problem; I mean, why can’t they ever seem to evolve?! Hell, I do! 🤦‍♀️ Your video explained this. I realized most of the people I’ve known were opportunists or conformists. I have mostly been in the post-conformist state with some remnants of expert/achiever levels and some slight experience with transcendent. Seeing this not only helped me understand why I kept hitting brick walls with these people, but more importantly - how to see the signs before it gets to that. I’ve known that my motto is pretty grim and I needed to practice selective permeability; basically, have the discernment to recognize and let in higher evolved egos. I just didn’t know how. Your video helped with this. Now, the issue is finding them, because as you also mentioned - most people are in the conformist stage. That leaves me feeling still that there are zombies everywhere. Where are the non-zombies, Leo? At home, behind locked doors, like me?! 😆 Maybe you can do a video on this topic of how post-conventionalists (your audience) can meet more people at that ego stage in their everyday lives. Again, thanks for your very thoughtful work! 🙏

[@ohsee163]

It’s not necessary to know them deeply, you use this model along with how they handle situations and answer questions. This is how the model was developed through survey.

[@ghihbgyu]

@@ohsee163 Still, very often the observer don't know the motivations and feelings that lie beneath. I've experienced having my actions misunderstood many times because a group of people had a certain perception of me and it's very frustrating.

[@ohsee163]

ghi6h66 bgyu5 it’s true, the lower levels have a hard time seeing past their own preconditions and predispositions. But if you’re at a higher level you can perceive through each of the levels that you have grown though, because you have been there before. I’m not so worried about how others perceive me but with how I can use this model and other models to perceive the world and understand others.. most people I have talked to about spiral dynamics for example have no idea what it means, or where to even begin with something like that

Greatings from Sweden, thanks for talking about this model I read it 2 years ago and it hit home, Iv been stuck at the construct-aware state for 2-3 years now. And like you say, its hard to go beyond when you hear that voice in your head all the time, and when you have no one to talk to about these things or even knows or understands. Stuck between meaning and meaningless, and what i do now that im aware I try to construct something I like (i see myself like a everchaninging work of art), and do what makes me the happiest and maybe impact others positivly. In the beginning I tryed do do nothing and see if life would stop, it didnt. So I hade to make desisions based on my programing. Ps, I like these videos when your not yelling at us so much, its much nicer to watch and listen to.

[@NotIT777]

I've had the most revealing year of my life as far as information downloads. I mow lawns for a living with just me and my truck. Get to listen to books and podcasts all day almost every day. That alone with physically reading and just diving into everyi find interesting. About two years ago i firmly felt i identified with the strategist. Listened to magician and it didn't make any sense to me how someone could view life in that lense and said wow that would be crazy! Lol. Fast foward until about a month ago and i remembered this video. Went back to watch it and realized i had fully moved in to the magician faze... this series is so valuable. Without this and similar videos i would feel insane. Learning how to deal and live life this way is going to take some real getting used to. Money and anything material really doesn't mean anything to me outside of comfort and has caused problems. Relationships qith people are so alien and almost impossible. The only place you feel at home is diving into new knowledge about the self and surroundings. It's so important to understand it's not all roses. There is darkness in the awakening process and please never run from it. It has just much apart of our life as the good. It's a challenge to overcome and transmute into something that works in your favor. Dosen't mean it wont come though. Thank you for this. One thing is certain, i wouldn't change having this level of freedom of thought for all the riches of the world. With all the hardship it brings, there is nothing i would rather have. As anything else would feel like a prison. It makes me nervous to explore deeper and to keep going. But i wouldn't stop, couldn't stop. IMO i believe that reaching unitive stage is not a end game.... it's when you are actually aware enough to " start" . Everyone, this IS the most important thing you have going for you. All else is a distraction. Balance that as best you can and keep moving. You WILL, you CAN and you ALREADY have. Love to all.

[@GianASMR]

Hey Leo, thank you for this material. I want to point out something that I have encountered in my experience: Even though helping others can be considered meaningless in the grand scheme of things, My direct experience shows me that every time I force myself to help and give love to others for hours and hours, It creates a kind of flow state in which my whole being gets flooded with this particular sensation of love and unity with the rest, and this thing is very helpful, as the ego is slowly pushed "closer" to the state in which everything and everyone in the experience unite and the identification with the mind is dropped. In other words, when I identify the selfishness and egoicness, "I" force "myself" to help others until I realize that I was never this Ego, and the energy of love pushes my actions into a constant flow of kindness, which then translates into a temporal loss of Ego. With this, my mind has come to the conclusion that in order to keep helping, I need to go back to the egoic state until all of my lower karmas are cleansed, through conscious effort, which rapidly brings a lot of traumas to the surface. Embracing all of these fears helps the healing process and makes it easy to identify whether one is being guided by fear or guided by love. I find tremendous passion in helping others as it seems to be the one thing that propels the evolution of my self. It resonates with me and for that reason, It is not something I can easily NOT do, because this energy that moves my body always guides me towards these kind of nice actions which give my soul a deep satisfaction that transcends everything else. Maybe, purpose is not only something you create with your mind, but it's THAT specific thing that best resonates with your deepest desires and things that give yourself a great wholistic satisfaction, and end up helping the other parts of yourself to evolve. Summary: Purpose = The things that need to be completed in order to achieve higher states, which give the whole mind/being/body a deep sense of wellbeing. Repressing desires will only create a division in one self, therefore one must live with totality and not reject any part of one's evolution. Even the most animalistic aspects. Thank you for reading, peace

This series is so beautiful, especially vids 2 and 3. I'm definitely in the pluralist phase, but I've also had both minor and profound insights indicative of later phases. The struggle had always been how to reconcile these realizations with my everyday life--until today. I can at last see how I can begin the subtle process of integrating these deliciously contradicting insights and choose to live as if I don't know how illusory this life really is. Beautiful is the word I would use to describe this. Beautiful, calming, humbling, integrative, reconciling, down-to-earth with nothing to lose. Beautiful.

Without you I'd definitely still be at the achiever stage or maybe even below, but now I feel I am in the construct aware stage, and beginning to touch some unitive aspects, and only being in college I see so many potential paths I could take in order to make my impact in the development of humanity. Before I got into psychedelics, spirituality, and your content, I struggled so much with finding meaning in life. I was depressed all the time, and even thought about suicide at times.

[@Morgan313]

Bojan V I had to think about your question because it's hard to put the answer into words by definition. The best way I can explain it is to compare it to the individualist stage, 2 stages back. In the individualist stage, you realize all perspectives are as valid as your own. In the construct-aware stage, you realize how all these perspectives are in reality invalid, especially your own perspective. Words and concepts break down because they can't communicate what is actually going on. They can only give an imperfect approximation of reality. But few people ever get to these realizations, so it is a lonely perspective, and yet you can't ever go back to where you were before. That's the best way I can explain it right now.

Best part of whole video and best thing I've ever heard 1:30:21 - 1:31:44 "I never understood why people want life to be real." This is why I love you Leo. ❤️ This whole video's a trip. "You're dreaming that you're not in a dream." 🤣 Makes you wonder how much of this we are missing simply due to language alone even.

Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do.

What I absolutely love about psychedelics is that they put me personally in the state of unity. It took me some years to reach that after many dark trips ( still can have but much less ). I specially felt the unity state on DMT where there was nothing but love, love and love ...Thanks Leo for presenting this model + your insights.

Thank you for these uploads. Honestly, these videos arrived at a time when I was questioning *A LOT* things. Thanks for giving a bit of *direction* 😉

Wow this is amazing and exactly what I needed at this time. I thank the universe and you Leo!
