I just noticed something a bit strange. The member count is too low compared to the guest count. Is this because most guests are actually AI crawlers? Or is there another explanation?

Yes, I did investigate the investigator. I did self-inquiry as taught by Ramana Maharshi and Robert Adams. I focused on the sense of “I” and tried to hold on to it, but I couldn’t, because it’s unstable. There is no fixed, separate self. I traced this “I-thought” all the way back to its source. I asked, “Who am I?” The correct way of doing self-inquiry isn’t by giving a verbal answer to this question, but by letting the question dissolve the one who is asking it. Who is asking? If I met God and I could ask Him any question, I would ask Him, “What should I ask?” And He would reply, “Why should you ask anything?” I’m familiar with Zen koans and all of this. And I’ve asked myself: why is there a need to know? The answer is simply that there is no good reason. You can do whatever you want with your life. There is no inherent reason behind people’s different motivations or what they choose to dedicate their lives toward. But here is the thing: what is the best thing I should dedicate my time and energy toward? The answer varies between people because people are different. And the answer can vary even for the same person throughout their life. The child cares about candy. The teenager cares about video games and doing cool shit with his buddies. A husband cares about taking care of his wife and children. The old man starts contemplating his death and wondering what all of this has been about. For me personally, I’ve spent a lot of time on self-inquiry and the neo-Advaita path. I’ve gone deeply into questioning the sense of self, tracing the “I” back to its source, and seeing through the idea of a fixed, separate self. But it no longer feels like the best way for me to live my life. And perhaps that is itself something worth recognizing: seeing through the self doesn’t necessarily tell you what to do with your life. It can answer the question of who you are, or at least dissolve the assumptions behind that question, without giving you a particular direction for how to live. So now the question that feels more alive to me is not “Who am I?” or even “Why do I need to know?” It is simply: What is worth dedicating my life to? -

I've engaged long enough. You took too long to reply. The discussion lost momentum and I got bored. Nothing personal here. If anyone else did the same, I would probably feel the same. I never lied. It is possible that I forgot parts of the discussion and said things differently in a way that contradicts some things I said in the past (thanks to your delay). But you're not engaging in good faith, so you assume the worst. I never played psychological games or ego games or any kind of games. I am being fully honest and transparent, always have been. I clearly stated that I wanted to leave the discussion. You kept trying to pull me back in. You've made this discussion about me. As if my approval is more important than the truth. Oh, no. Oh dear almighty Carl'im, have mercy on my powerless ignorant soul. Redeem the error of my ways and guide me to grace. Please don't throw me down the torturous forum hell of your ignore list. I mean I'm already "psycho" as you put it. Are you trying to invoke a psychotic break or something? Grow up, dude. -

There was actually quite a lot of investigating and juggling different perspectives/spiritual concepts between 2014 thru 2022. Lots of spiritual books read and hours of meditation/yoga also. I've taken LSD and eaten hallucinogenic mushrooms dozens of times between the ages of 16 and 19 yrs old. I understand you are an explorer of reality and a seeker of truth. I understand mostly everything I read of yours on this forum topic. We have a lot of similarities and I remember questioning a lot of the same topics I see you discuss on here. Have you thoroughly investigated the investigator? That desire to know, grasp or understand is coming from somewhere. Have you traced that seeking energy back to its source? You seem to have the main pointers of the so-called neo advaitian uncompromising message memorized. Have you actually looked closely within and for your self? Look for that frustrated character that thinks I'm close minded. What does "someone here" consist of? -

Mind-blowing 🤯 Did AI draw it? If not, which app is this? -
The Problem is, Bryan Johnson is not intelligent. That's also he mesures everything but not his iq. He doesn't approach this whole health thing intelligent. Taking 100 pills, taking steroids, wearing makeup, his stupid training. It's funny how people can take him seriously.

I want to deeply understand what sleep is . And what dreams are .
-
Note: God is obviously not a “he.” God doesn’t sleep because God is always aware. God is all-seeing, which means God sees everything. God is all-hearing, which means God hears everything. God is all-knowing, which means God knows everything. God is all-pervading and exists everywhere and everywhen. God is alive. Humans are also alive. But God’s life is the actual independent life because it is self-sustaining. God doesn’t depend on or need anything external to Himself to make Him alive. Whereas a human needs oxygen 24/7 and needs water and food. And even then, the human will die because it can’t sustain itself forever. As soon as a baby is born, it starts dying slowly. God is the only thing which could be rightfully said to be truly ALIVE because His life is self-sustaining and doesn’t need external resources to support it constantly. The second reason is because He will never die. That which is truly alive is that which will never die—which is God, not a human. Physics, till this day and age, doesn’t know why the universe doesn’t disappear into nothingness immediately for no reason. What sustains it? Well, the answer is that God does. God holds the fabric of space and time together with His will such that it doesn’t go “poof” just like that. And this doesn’t cost Him energy or effort because He is all-powerful and He does anything He wants through sheer will. If He wants to create a universe, He thinks it up, snaps His fingers, and there it is. That’s the mechanism by which God creates. A human needs God, but God doesn’t need anything. God doesn’t need anything because He is the wealthiest being ever. Why? Because all of existence is His property and possession. I possess a car or a house or money. But God possesses everything, including my car, my house, and my money. In fact, I don’t even possess anything. Nothing is truly mine because one day I will lose everything I possess. So I actually possess nothing. And God possesses everything. God is rich. The richest. If you want to be the richest being ever, you have to stop being human and become God. When you become God, you possess all that there is. I’m aware. God is aware. I can see. God can see. I can hear. God can hear. But my awareness and sight and hearing aren’t complete because I fall asleep. But God never sleeps. God is always awake. Always aware of everything. Always knowing everything. Always seeing everything. Always hearing everything. But I fall asleep. Deep sleep is a temporary death. Humans fear death because humans fear nonexistence. In deep sleep, no forms exist. Not even darkness or silence. Nothing at all. That’s a lack. God doesn’t sleep because if He slept even for a second, the whole universe would disappear because the only reason the universe doesn’t disappear is because God sustains it with His will. But doesn’t God feel tired from not sleeping? Why do we sleep? Because we feel tired of being aware. But why is being aware for 18 hours or more tiresome? Because our awareness is limited. And because we are mortal. A day is a metaphor for a lifetime. You wake up in the morning refreshed and energized. You are born as a baby and a child with vitality. Then, as the day goes on, you increasingly get tired, and then you go to bed to die temporarily, or sleep. Likewise, you grow older and get more and more tired until you are so tired that you die and disappear. But God is always absolute awareness. Never sleeps and never dies without getting tired. If you want to never get tired and never experience death, you must stop being human and become God. This is a direct insight I derived from contemplating god which made me feel very happy to understand. Thanks to the Quran as well as Leo’s teachings, obviously it’s not 100 % original.

Caring that people have different values is also a value. That's like a meta value. A value about values. Sounds like something Leo would say anyway

the neon colors are so pretty n trippy :3 -
Yes, this is made with the help of AI, but I've done the ground work myself, also there is A LOT of prior experience bound to this. I may not have been very active on the forums, but I've been connected in real-life with the ideas surrounding the psyche and spirituality. I figured some people may like this stuff over here

i haven’t consumed cbd in a minute, i’ll need to try it again soon!

@QVx I'm extremely extroverted. I wanna realize the truth (get enlightened, get God-Realized) but I also want a lot from material life, like marriage, kids, successful purpose, etc. Why does going deeper into truth reduce relationship tolerance? I'm ok with it in the context of my own spouse and children but I'd like to know for the future's sake.

DXM has more energy as a dissociative so might work better

The problem is that you are most likely not going to transcend it, but instead repress it, which will bubble up and manifest in perverted ways in your psyche. Lifelong brahmacharya is basically impossible(Especially if youre under 40) and probably not healthy for prostate. Instead study tantric yoga and tantric orgasms. You can bust a couple times a month and be fine. ^^^ This is also a good youtube channel for your purposes

Even though street cannabis is crap for the brain, medical legal regulated cannabis with CBD has been a game changer for pain for me and functioning has been superb on this. Brain works well on it!
-
(Fellow ADHDer but still enjoy medical cannabis but take CBD to tone it’s side effects. Take Dexedrine for work occasionally). Mushrooms are pretty sloppy for ADHDers; just do LSD without any stimulant medication as it’s a stimulant itself and should have a strangely calming effect on you vs other psychedelics because of that aspect. I found LSD good for the emotional regulation of ADHD. I recommend giving yourself time to recover from the trip before taking your next stimulant dose, but when you finally do take that next dose after tripping it should feel pretty good.

Think of Bryan Johnson like Aristotle’s bending of the stick: society is bent too far toward processed foods, fast food and no excercise. Bryan Johnsons approach might be extreme but sometimes it takes extreme force to bend back the stick. In a world of influencers and attention you gotta play by the rules, a nuanced certified nutritionist who shows epistemic restraint and uncertainty has no influence in todays world, its like the difference between a spiritual monk who sits in a cave and a spiritual influencer like Leo, one inuenced us while we dont even know about the other one

I don’t “ need “ to respond but I can respond if I want to. But more importantly because anyone who’s into Actualized org is intelligent . And hopefully I’m talking with an intelligent person who’s capable of juggling different perspectives simultaneously instead of repeating the same bullshit for 1000 years . -
