[@marvinquinones9080]

Think you misunderstood; I find it hilarious that he mentioned this (somewhere in the first 5 minutes of the video).....

[@thespacefrogdigbaby2508]

Martin Cruz Are you fuckin crazy?

[@Soda_Lemoon]

Thanks, you saved me an hour.

[@rashidmuse5426]

Martin Cruz how did you do that

[@HigherSelfKorea]

i love you Martin! I was about to do it for myself and saw your post

[@brodyjersey6722]

You have completely changed my life thank you

[@mitchparker7763]

I think the number one most important thing is for people to truly believe that they are actually the architect of their life. Most people will hear that but will not truly believe it. Love the videos, you are a big inspiration for me starting my own channel, keep it up.

[@zinqtable1092]

Yes! Limiting beliefs!

[@LeoEckl-DerAbiturCoach]

So true! This is the core essence of my channel, let's connect!

[@davidsiew2891]

Ok

[@jarogniewtheconqueror2804]

But aren't most people sheep and not shepherds so they need a leader

[@zinqtable1092]

That is such a loose description of people that I don't see any meaning in it.

[@williama3600]

Leo you are a true, genuine, good person. Thanks for believing this much in yourself and in the people around you. The world needs you, way beyond KZbin.

[@danarnautu]

This is an extremely high quality video. I've been actualizing for a few years now. Radical growth. I'm glad I stumbled over you in my life. Keep doing what you are doing. You are inspiring millions.

[@jeffseddal1514]

Amazing the effort you put into your videos. This one is roughly an hour long, but most likely took countless hours to make. From getting your communication down and having to re edit, to getting an entire schedule together, Definitely premeditated.

[@GS-xg4nz]

Greed. Can't see any editing so must all be one take? Very impressive.

[@jeffseddal1514]

Gary Sutherland​ That is true, he's most likely s

[@jeffseddal1514]

Gary Sutherland Good observation. Countless hours of rehearsing has definitely paid off. But I believe the way you would apply this type of knowledge, especially for teaching videos such as this you would most likely have to take notes to pick the order of which is the best method, also weeding out less important methods.

[@HugoPortoFerraro]

Leo, Im 17, and I have started self actualization for a while already. Thank you for sharing so much with us. My consciousness is getting more wonderful everyday.

[@sp77622]

can u share what u have experienced?

[@HugoPortoFerraro]

Dilaravamp A nothing huge, you know? I just feel more confortable with my mind, i have more focus, more calm and these kind of stuff. But with meditation, im still stage 2 :)

[@AuroraNatureSounds]

So young!!! Great!!! Are you Portuguese?

[@14ldolan57]

I cant believe that guy in the comments who kept saying "Leo can you have sex with my wife" actually got a reference in the video lol.

[@ZagoITA]

You're a good human being

[@davidreynolds4942]

Gilgard no such thing:P

[@mitchparker7763]

agreed, need more people like him

[@helenaville5939]

+Gilgard. Well said. Leo is a good human being, following his life purpose by helping others. H's a cool guy.

[@VishuddhaDas]

Beautiful video & techniques!

[@ActualizedOrg]

Hey Koi, dug some of vids last week.

[@VishuddhaDas]

Thank you brother. Keep up the great work with what you are doing.

[@Soda_Lemoon]

"People that make videos like this (like Koi Fresco) are lost. I like Koi but that's not spirituality, it's nosense" [Cit. Naked Reality's last video] This is so true.

[@Sannyasin]

:)

[@jarogniewtheconqueror2804]

yes boi ;)

[@DamonCart]

I like that he puts responsibility back on the viewer to carve out their path. When people passively consume content like this and don't take action they go into a state of wanting to be told what to do and how to do it, but this is the complete opposite of self-actualizing.

[@tomthomson1813]

Leooooo !! Thank you for transforming the very core of my existence !! My life would be so shit if it wasn't for you ! Sending so much love from the uk :) !!!

[@Gudsfralsare]

His high levels of conscioussness flows through his eyes

[@dantemarinucci8765]

I'm only 15, but I really enjoy all these personal development techniques. Thanks Leo, and keep up the good work!

[@colinfrey8381]

I started young too, I’m still young but it’s amazing being able to get a head start on these practices before bad habits from normal life are created. It’s liberating, keep going my friend

[@subash4599]

you jump straight from heaven. i am simply grateful for this video. i found lot of other selfhelp channels shallow. your videos are not only practical but also provide necessary insights to pursue research on my own. Thank you.

[@casperhkragh4753]

Hi Leo, just bought your LP course and is very excited! Im in a period of my life where I am totally lost mentally, bad memory, confusion, lack of motivation and consciousness etc I really have to find some purpose and a strong vision for life thanks for everything! love ya all!

[@jackarrow-journal5317]

hows that going ? actually interested

[@OfficialLuceMusic]

I've been following you for over a year (maybe 2 years now) and even was fortunate enough to speak with you a few times and I must say... You've done a LOT for me in my life by sharing such profound wisdom, especially for free. I occasionally take the time to at least thank you Leo. (:

[@sianacarmine8409]

I started watching this video thinking there were other things I needed to know as a beginner. But after I saw the video I was really happy because most of the things you have said there I already do and it showed me that I am in the right path for self actualizetion. Thank you very much for the guidance. thenks to you i realized i dont need a therapist when i can be my own therapist.

[@42Maat]

You have no idea how much you’re helping me! Thank YOU so much, Leo

[@lesliedyson5473]

I'm not even a quarter of the way through this video, but I just had to pause to tell you that you had me laughing right from the beginning, and it feels so good to laugh out loud! I've just recently discovered your videos and actualized.org and am grateful beyond words to have found you! Thank you for being you!

[@TheNoSuchThingPodcast]

Leo’s material is the best I have found. I keep saying that, but this is so comprehensive. I followed buddhism and other practices for years and just got lost. He really brings it home to me. Everything he says (well, most of it) makes sense for me more than anything I have watched

[@abdeljalilamzil1762]

you saved my life. thank you from the heart ...don't stop this please!

[@vanillamindscream196]

This man has changed my life completely

[@heatheryish4982]

I love that he looks at you straight on. There are many people who I don’t trust who discuss spirituality, etc because I watch them hide their humanity. But he is not denying his humanity. He is putting it all out front. I can see spit and wrinkles and anger. And his honesty makes me trust that he has been integrated enough so that I will listen to what he has to say.

[@tanantarawanderer4003]

This channel is the most helpful KZbin channel ever, I have seen. I promise to watch all of those video lessons and create better me. Thank you for your devotion.

[@donotaddmeplease]

Hello Leo, Thanks you! Hope you're having a wonderful day.

[@youtubecanal]

Thank you. You are absolutely right when you say at the beginning of this episode that each person is the architect of his own development. I’ve watching your videos and chosing themes following my needs and intuition, jumping between themes and, as you said, in a non linear way because there is so much rich content and concepts to unfold, learn and integrate. Another point is when searching for what you really want for your life, make sure that search is not about others really want for you. When I mean others your must include culture, ideologies, moral and belief systems and so on.

[@abbiwatson8255]

So excited that you mentioned astral projection, I've been wanting to know your perspective on it! So very thankful for your wisdom, it's already transformed my life in a few short months and I can't wait to see what's to come. It blows my mind how much knowledge exists that most people aren't even aware of, and I feel so grateful to have stumbled upon it.

[@sp77622]

Abbi Watson how do u practice astral projection?

[@EPSTomcat11]

One of Leo's best videos

Thanks for all your wisdom Leo. I never regret listening to you.

Came across your site today. Wow. Thank you for being there.

[@jendiazgreen5062]

Great video. Thanks Leo, your videos have changed my life. I'm particularly chuffed at your mention of Reiki. I think this is a big part of my self actualisation process and I have been curious about your opinion about this. Thank you!

[@WitnessRichness]

Like i said...I’m watching and taking notes on every video. All of this eye opening wisdom and thought provoking concepts for FREE!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@robmoss8198]

Gold as ever. A little nudge in the right direction.

[@bibimaritza]

What I love about you Leo is that you're raw and straight up. No sugar coding. I legit promote your videos on my snaps and IG ! I call you my father 😂 But only because I appreciate the guidance. ❤️

[@lifecraft1201]

"Glimpsing non-egoic consciousness" - Brother thank you for putting this into words, I first experienced this glimpse on the meditation mountain of Lightning in a Bottle festival last month. It took many layers of unwinding of subtle pain and blockages around my heart and letting go of the many usual selfish thoughts. I wish I recorded what happened on that mountain on video, I will take a video camera with me next year.

[@ismaelgimenez3061]

Just thanks!

[@jakobengberg-pedersen4457]

I love the rant in the start :D

[@petraalt4006]

You're the best.

[@geraldblanchard5533]

Encore une fois , vraiment bon !

[@devonrexcatz]

I can't wait to listen to this. Thanks so much Leo...you have transformed me. Your videos (and those of a couple of others) are my meditation and what I listen to when I sleep...I'd be lost without you. Much love. Belinda xXxX

[@JasmineAmaa]

devonrexcatz this so sweet! I definitely feel the same. Very grateful for Leo and his videos

[@devonrexcatz]

Jasmine Ama Thankyou Jasmine. He inspires so many. I have nothing but gratitude for him and I'm so pleased he is helping you too. Much love xXxX

[@GS-xg4nz]

He's a breath of fresh air. I quit drinking 6 months ago and immersed myself in self-improvement; meditating, yoga, Buddhist thinking, Stoicism and of course, Leo's videos. We are so lucky to have the internet to help us find the right material. I've cut out 90% TV, social media bullshit too. Sugar and excess 10lbs body weight are next on my hit-list :) Best Wishes

[@augustcollins503]

great content. very insightful!

[@meinungabundance7696]

This is amazing what you are talking about - I am 60 years old and can concentrate on my mental tasks at work without any problems (longer than 10 minutes!). It might be a generational gap, as I spend 30 minutes weekly on social media and use my smartphone only if I have some important to say. No multitasking either. I observe newly hired employees in our company, and boy, they have problems sitting still for half an hour. "Generation distraction" should be the name. Leo, in this context, there is plenty of work ahead of you.

[@robertgrant3197]

Leo thank you for this amazingly valuable list, and the inspiring discussion of each technique... I'd like to mention E.M.D.R., which I noticed you never talked about in any of your videos (at least the 150 I checked...;)) and that I personally find incredibly powerful in helping dissolving the ego, the neurotic patterns, the bad habits, etc...while quickly bringing more awareness, emotional mastery, self understanding and character maturity. Thanks for being such a model... after your recent videos, I now know that I HAVE to go solo retreat...because it's clear that it is essential to grow past my current level of development.

[@BTHABIT.]

It's a vibe that s very rare online....love to have a video like that tho your recent work is phenomenal..sply the spiral dynamics ones you've done in 2020
