  2. There is no distinction between love and being. The point is that being IS love. So the realization is that the substance of being is love. Consciousness IS love. You can't differentiate them further, as they are inseparable. I believe you can actually overlook this realization if you have a very clinical Zen background like Ralston. He simply didn't connect the two points; it's not that absolute truth is something different to him. We use the word love because it perfectly captures what it's all about: the profound openness and infinite fullness of being and the absence of fear, separation, and defensiveness.
  3. AI slop now. Thank riddence I binned google as a search engine over a year ago. https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/google-search-as-you-know-it-is-over/
  4. @James123 I don't care. Observe the forum rules. Don't use truth to justify behaving in a nasty way.
  5. Sometimes Truth is nasty, hurts. But if it's listened, it is useful.
  6. Check out Elephants in the Room episode on this topic for another take....
  7. Keep those nasty thoughts to yourself. Don't make such negative character judgements toward other users.

  9. Thanks to Obama and Biden /s we need to get these stickers back
  10. I just wanted to say, thank you so much for your work @Leo Gura I've been following your work since 2014. I'm just imagining how I was back then. Extremely socially anxious. So scared of women. Unclear in what I wanted to do. I was so lost. Thinking of suicide. Painful just to exist every day. I wasn't sure why this was happening. Why I was deserving of it. Every day felt like panic attacks, and I couldn't be comfortable around people. I hated life. I hated my family. I hated myself deeply. But your content, especially as it matured into spiritual development, was so fucking interesting to me. It was the only thing that kept me sane. Finally, someone I can listen to and I can relate to. Someone who's introspective and cares about life and what it is. You showed me how to develop a deep passion for existence, for consciousness work. As you're getting into consciousness work, I still needed to deal with all of my troubles that I was facing. I wanted to push further and harder into meditation, but the survival aspects of my life were just a mess. I left all of that and focused on survival: focused on getting a stable job, being able to attract women, being able to be comfortable in social situations. Through you as the basis for overcoming all of these issues I faced. And now I just can't imagine how different my life is. The connections I have had with people, especially women, have been unbelievably beautiful and deep. My anxiety is basically gone, and when it comes I love it. The connection I have with existence, just through consciousness work on a day-to-day basis, is getting to the point where it just moves me: The profundity and beauty of life The fact I'm alive The fact that experience is happening The fact that I'm here It just moves me to tears. I've been crying alot this year, and it's been fucking incredible. The risks I've taken in my career, the risks I've taken traveling around the world, traveling to different cultures, experiencing a multitude of different cultures, have given me a worldview of compassion and care for existence. I'm not scared of life anymore. Well, I'm less scared. Surrendering to it. Like, fuck it, whatever happens, happens. Let's ride this bull. Let's ride it till we die. Everyday is magnificent. Every day is magical. I just want to go deeper into this. I wanna go deeper into myself. Into my understanding of who I am. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you

  11. Finished the LP course

    Jannes replied to Jannes's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    I am wondering how adhd folk even survive.

  12. Finished the LP course

    Jannes replied to Jannes's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    Today at a seminar a girl looked at me for guidance. I established some of that the dates prior through adhd medication, but not today. Men I didnt even know that this is something I wanted, or well yes I knew but I kind of buried it.

  13. Starving Patriarchy

    NewKidOnTheBlock replied to Rafael Thundercat's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events

    Genious solution of Rafael: let's all return to a pre-industrial era mindsets and societies because of this one example of a small, isolated and highly primitive North American tribal society. The kind of society that even Aztecs and Incas mogged in terms of scale, technology, urban development and administrative capacity, yet somehow we are closer to apes than they were, according to Rafael LOL
  14. Intentionally provocative title, but the feeling is real. What I’ve seen happen lately is either A) we made peace with the fact that most content in written form (or in verbal form with a prepared script) is entirely the product of OpenAI or Anthropic and we’re okay with it or B) we’re not okay with it but we see it as inevitable and have stopped making noise about it. I’m not some luddite; I’m very passionate about AI, I even self-host my own local models and use it extensively for work, research, or simply bouncing off some thoughts. But I think in terms of creative work and self-expression we’ve lost something huge and it’s just so boring and annoying I can’t put in words (maybe I’ll ask GPT to write it for me). Much has been written about the slow erosion of our cognitive capacities as producers of creative work (and it’s certainly the bigger concern here), but imho not nearly enough has been said on the consumer side: the dystopian feeling of discovering essentially the same 2-3 data-centers, wearing a different hat, behind 90% of the internet. Maybe it’s better to stay blisfully ignorant of the classic landmark LLM-generated writing patterns and wonder why everyone became a witty wordsmith all of a sudden. “It’s not X, it’s Y”. Boom! What a zinger. As a consumer you used to be able to KNOW someone through their writing. Their cadence, their obsessions, the jokes they make twice, the things they always overcomplicate, what their influences were. Now it’s all one big grey paste, utterly anonymous. What’s even the point? Why should I hear OpenAI cosplaying as you? I’ll talk to OpenAI directly, thank you very much. It feels more honest, and unlike your shitty YT video it’s bidirectional so I can at least ask further questions. Rant aside, here’s my point: please call it out. Comment “AI slop” and move along. Hopefully people upvote/like it, and the “author” begins to realize that mindlessly prompting your way to assembly-line non-stop content creation amounts to little more than looking like a braindead clown. If it’s not a solution, it’s at least a way to make people take the time to hide it better or dress it in their own style, which is a small win in my book.

  15. Premium Clips Vault - New Actualized Product

    PsychedelicEagle replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Feedback: I've watched the first 40 videos so far. Found them super valuable, especially the ones addressing foundational concepts (e.g., nothingness,, consciousness) and techniques/practices (e.g., meditation, self-exploration). These shorter tips help clarify some nuances I hadn't yet grasped from YouTube videos.

    Somebody tell me the production names please
  17. Some reality transurfing channels.

  18. Gas up to 5 bucks a gallon

    Apparition of Jack replied to Inliytened1's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events

    lol
  19. @Leo Gura Bought Premium Clips Vault last week using PayPal account. After purchase the product went to a new Actualized account created with PayPal email (and I was logged to my old account when I made the purchase). Can Leo merge the 2 accounts under the old account? Tried to contact support 2 times via site and haven't received any response. So can I handle this with Leo via PM (tried it but can't PM Leo since I'm a new user so can Leo unlock PM feature for me)?

  20. Anyone here use safety razors?

    PsychedelicEagle replied to Basman's topic in Health, Fitness, Nutrition, Supplements

    I almost never use razors or safety razors. This is the best thing I found, for minimum skin irritation. It's a cutting machine but that gets really close to the point of almost matching a razor. Faster and easier to use than any razor, so you can use it more often, and in the end your average beard length will be the same or smaller =)

    Nope. You were buying your bread and butter 🧈 😅
  23. All bodies die. There isn't a you, me or them inside of these bodies. The human bodies are empty, just like a deer or cows body is empty. There isn't a self or higher self or soul or spirit inside or outside of these bodies. Nothing. The identification of being this, that or the other, is a self referential misunderstanding or self illusion. It's not wrong or ignorant to carry beliefs. The self illusion only knows what its taught and or assumes. Most self illusions are conditioned with dozens or even hundreds of learned beliefs. Usually a lot of deep seeded religious one's at that. But when this entire conditioned paradigm(matrix) is shattered or collapses(awakening), it becomes super obvious just how ridiculous/silly or imaginative these belief systems actually were. It's laughable and surprising just how real they had been taken for truth at one point. Similar to being surrounded by water your entire life, it doesn't even register what dry land could be or feel like until plop, your pulled out and dropped on your head onto dry land. 🫨 That's why it's called awakening. In a sleep dream everything seems true and real and happening to you because there is simply nothing else, until waking up occurs.
  25. Look yourself first. Check Peter Ralston, Ramana maharsi, Krishnamurti, papaji, lao tzu, İmam Gazali, Rumi. Stop turning around what leo says, he is just a storyteller.
  26. Consciousness is mysterious - can you describe what it is or are the definitions circular. If Love is a quality of Consciousness - then this is not necessarily disagreeing with Ralston because Love is a part or an aspect of Consciousness. If it is identical but also a facet (2 sides of the coin) the what is that side. I guess you can't really explain either without using circular definitions as other stated it is just via Being that one truly understands. Anyone who has gotten a glimpse of Absolute love please let me know what made it distinct from Consciousness/Being/Unity/Oneness/Infinity for you .
  27. Wait for it. Europe is gonna fall. America, Persia and Russia will rise. Follow The Qanon movement again. Persia's Revival is the end goal here. Iran is a fake name for this land. Persia is the real name of it and everybody knows and respects Persia better than "Iran". Neither the Pahlavi monarchists nor the Islamic Republic's islamists are the owners of this land. The True Leader of Persia is gonna be shown to the world soon. Trust Trump. Trust Restart Leader. King Mohammad. America, Restart, Russia. Who is Q? Everything was already said before. Just see the Qanon posts. The Cabal or The Deep State is gonna fall apart and "Iran" is its Achilles heel.
