I think we could all do without the sardonic comment.

I love my dogs! Pure bliss to my life -
Might be meaning feelings - but I am only guessing. Emotions and feelings are different. But it's going to depend how terms are defined. In my worldview feelings are direct raw subjective experience. Emotions are more a structured psycho-biological pattern involving feeling, interpretation, physiology, impulse and meaning. Some people even bring affect into this mix - which would be a pre-conceptual energetic tone. This is getting complex because we are hitting a strange roadblock : at what level of consciou awareness does a sense of 'self' arise? And how exactly are we defining the self as it applies here?

You gain empathy via suffering.

Each and every "thing" possesses 3 qualities: Essence Being Existence Existence is its physical manifestation. Being is it's function, "what it's doing". Essence is the absolute minimum, smallest, simplest example of it.

So you say that emotions are more fundamental than self?

Completely tired of my neighbors dogs always barking. At the very least, dogs do not belong in big urban cities like where I live. Their welfare needs... space, movement, and low stress... do not match cramped apartments and constant noise. This mismatch often leads to barking, anxiety, and behavioral issues that affect entire buildings. Urban life also limits exercise and forces dogs into overstimulating environments they weren’t bred for. All of this creates an ethical question about whether keeping high‑needs animals in such conditions is fair to them or to the people living around them. Most of the dogs are off leash pitbulls, by far the worst dogs in general - they were literally bred to kill and people treat them like lovable little darlings. They're like 6% of dogs worldwide dog and responsible for 68% of attacks.

@Lila9 Micheal jacksons iq was 167 it said. Iq is literally bullshit. Its measuring intellect not intelligence. Having high intellect hurts your brain. Its second order to intelligence. The smart ones run on low intellect. Then are told to worship the ones with high intellect. -
There has to be a hierarchical structure with a single leader at the top. All depends on maintaining this hierarchy. The leader employs psychological manipulation in order to maintain this hierarchy. This maintenance usually involves the promise of special knowledge or some special future goal where you can be involved. The maintenance of a hierarchy like this is inherently narcissistic, because the person at the top always holds more power. This also inherently leads to a need for manipulation, like hyper-conformity and isolation. I would say, the simultaneous occurrence of all of these traits would create the foundation for a cult. All the different manipulation methods, like hyper-conformity, isolation, "us vs. them" mentality, etc., fits into this "psychological manipulation". This psychological manipulation is indicative of narcissism, and it is the same manipulation a clinical narcissist would use to manipulate others. And it is the same psychological manipulation humans have used to exploit each other throughout history. We can say that the tendency to exploit other humans is what "narcissistic traits" are. That being said, the leader is often a clinical narcissist themselves. This definition from Google is pretty succinct as well: I would assume and hope so, but I'm not sure. In regards to narcissism, I'd hope psychologists have a basic idea of what NPD and narcissism is, since it's their job or whatever. I think the DSM is for maintaining the standards in that regard. Oh nice. I didn't read that, and I agree for the most part. Indeed, the idea of a hierarchy and someone at the top of consciousness is inherently delusional and isolating. Definitely a cult dynamic. I don't think Actualized.org is authoritarian enough yet, though. I also don't think a real non-dual teacher would actually say they have more consciousness or something like that. Yeah, they "point", but pointing isn't enough for a hierarchy, that would be your own assumption or projection onto the teacher which does commonly happen. It's kind of like if Newton had the apple hit his head, then he had the insight about gravity and tried to tell everyone, then everyone started to think "hes above me and has better consciousness or genetics" or something. Which is completely irrelevant to gravity, lol.

Omg it’s terrible he’s literally imitating even the tonality . Even Nahm has a forum which is the only forum on the web that is copy pasting this forum even though he told me many times that Leo is deluded because he “conceptualizes psychedelic experiences “. The thing is we all look forward towards someone in life ..a musician ..a sport legend ..an actor and we try to mimic them because we think they are showing us how we should act in the world . It’s called the super ego or our imagined highest version of ourselves. Leo is definitely a great example of that . But he really has a style that if you try to imitate him on a YouTube channel you’re really gonna get recognized . Nothing wrong with talking about the same topics but why speak like him .

Like a kid not recognizing itself in the mirror, such a simple yet profound trick -
Seeking intimacy and connection is a basic human need. You're not getting away with this spiritual bypassing.

The other day I cry cause God is so cool. I realize I will never be as cool and its how I deem someone worthy. God is the coolest thing ever. Every cool thing on earth is less than an atom of God. -

You think there is privacy? Privacy is an illusion. When we say you are everything you don't know what that actually means. Everything is literally alive. This means comic book characters are alive, Santa Claus is alive, the Grinch is alive, bugs bunny is alive. You can become directly conscious that because you are alive everything is equally alive. Why? Because love is alive and is non discriminate in the sharing of the gift of life. It's so funny you designed spirituality so you can discover how profound you are. You only create Real Selves because you are a self creator so everything is a self that is alive. When you awaken you can have a conversation with unconditional love and you can go on a journey of self discovery of what it means to create a universe. Really fricken amazing!!! -

Not sure what you're smoking but it must not work. You are one of those people who think caffeine is the be all end all of consciousness work. "Oh yup, my morning Joe, thats as deep as it goes!" Hey I mean, we all have different systems, If people are out here communing with the divine all day off their double dose of coffee, I want in :} "Give me a double shot espresso with a pinch of Divinity please" A high enough dose of anything will let you meet your maker. -
You only get satisfaction out if sex if you are in love with the person.

How strict? Give us your definition. What about scholars? Things started collapsing as soon the implication that the cause of the energy had to be removed from the Earth somehow had been made. The moderation practices occurred up to that point. After that point, I'm not sure any moderation practices occurred in any structured degree. It was sort of like the rug was pulled from beneath the picnic party and people's bare asses landed in the dirt and the ants started crawling and people started fleeing.

Its because you are getting high by thinking you are getting enlightened. Stop doing that. Stop thinking you are awakening. Your emotions are waves and if you go up you must come down. Stop trying to do anything. Stop trying to figure something out. Remain neutral. Out of this neutrality you will open up.
