  1. Past hour
  2. @Cred Good luck my friend, I hope you succeed! Keep at it 💪
  3. Really ? Did you forget Gaza already. Netanyanu thinks differently than you.
  5. It is not my job to do introductions. I am not a podcast host.
  6. i wouldnt even know what the word epistemology means without discovering Actualized.org. Talk about hitting the jackpot in life
  7. @Infinite Tsukuyomi People are the biggest trap. I would never have got into weed if my best ex-friend who was literally an undercover enemy had passed me that blunt innocently. How naive I was to trust people. The guy literally tried to destroy my life and reputation with his psychic abilities, long story… If I were you I will test your brother “in law” to see what are his real intentions. You can get a lot of information about who he truly is by his behaviour. Pretend you want and pullback but never accept it even if he forces. See how far he will push it. All the people in a weed vicious cycle will try to drag you in. Even family members did to me. It was the hardest part of getting out. If you ever do it, do it alone and far away. No one should even suspect you did it by the smell or they will snitch on you and ruin you. Happened to me thanks to that friend who I almost wanted to kill with my own hands. No one can be trusted these days. I have learned the hard way to not even trust my parents.

  9. I think that problem is solved by properly teaching epistemology all throughout school. By the time kids graduate highschool they should have the epistemic knowhow of everything Actualized.org teaches. This should be a baseline for everyone in society. Not as a belief system, but actual epistemic work, questioning reality. We expect everyone to know math, yet not epistemology? This is silly.
  10. @Infinite Tsukuyomi Nice. Why don't you just use honey instead of artificial sweeteners? Not sure if it's healthier though.

  11. New Episode: Epistemic Responsiblity - Out Now!

    Natasha Tori Maru replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    @oOo what? Lol Wrong topic? But where was Leo going to put an intro - it isn't his podcast?
  12. Today
  13. I can't find the exact recipe for my protein cinnamon rolls, but I watched it on youtube. Casein, flour, artificial sweetner, barely any butter. The frosting was made with greek yogurt. I also like to buy belvita biscuits at the store, crumble them, add fruit and top with a frosting made with greek yogurt and squeezed lemon juice or some sort of lemon flavored powder like crystal light. Protein donuts. Ready for it? Hamburger buns lol. You make whatever flavored jelly you want to go in the middle with jello powder, crystal light, and greek yogurt. Then the outside, you can put artificial powdered sugar. Regular fruit tastes more amazing than it used to, since switching to non nutritive sweeteners. I could single handedly make nectarines go extinct.
  14. There’s generally always good aspects to find in many faiths, ideologies, religions, theories, hypotheses, experiments, cults, culture, societies and various other kinds of churches. The problem however is you’re asking a human whom has not been properly trained for life to interpret what eventually defines their actions. This is when the veneer starts to peel off the MDF board. Not enough glue, not enough time in the press, the press was anchored with too much weight, the board was left out in the rain and its dampness is ignored. It’s super important to realise that human perception is imperfect, especially when they perceive their perception as perfection itself. This is when their bubble becomes divine, their echo within it becomes gospel and the words they will write through a void that will eventually take their epistemic humility, their bible they indoctrinate others with. I have friends of many faiths, you’re moving in the right direction; Muslim, Christians from the United States all the way to Tailand, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, you name it. Every faith has validity to it, outsiders often do not have the education to intelligently observe and communicate it. But for the very same reason, every faith becomes its own vice in as much as there isn’t that same education concerning interpretation. Belief in this case often becomes the privilege of judging another, and the basis for conflict over understanding. There is a voice in every human I meet that needs to be heard, but all our voices must be refined in both the words we read, listen to and finally write and say. Keep questioning without a final resolve and the puzzle will continue to reveal itself to you slowly. Our perception is fragile and our confidence often overstated regardless as to how much epistemic humility we say we have, so differentiation is foundational. Where knowledge to wisdom cradles every weakness and strength of another with one’s own in the context of the greater universe, life spells out its own harmony. Your job isn’t to carve out a religion, and that isn’t the goal of epistemic rigour. It’s balance between consciousness and the greater universe, starting with making sure you have a roof over your head, are prepared financially and can form non-artificial friendships with the outer world if that isn’t already a priority over worrying about the ignorant perceptions of others or even your own concerning your personal faith. With balance comes the humility to consider and have gratitude for all perspectives, with the wisdom to discern where balance must meet conviction. Best wishes, good luck @Schahin.
  15. Outside my praise and critique on your approach to scientists specifically where I hadn’t gotten into the gaps in understanding pertaining to science, it was a bit of a sloppy introduction. Anastasia and Michael (Shilo) really took the time to think about who you were and what you were about, reflected in their introduction. You didn’t even bother to mention their actual names @Leo Gura or give an accurate assessment about what their channel is about. And this is coming from someone, in this case me, who heard about their channel first from you. I was excited to see it all unravel. You mentioned the interview a month in advance, you had all the time in the world to think about who they were as much as they did yourself, and yet you mention them as they’re just movie extras. Doing a personal level headed connected introduction is not difficult to do and only makes you look good. It’s a little disappointing, and still reflects a lack of maturity in your own approach in certain areas especially around socialisation. It was a great inspiring video, but the social awareness makes it feel lacking. Best wishes.

  16. Mood swings + meditation

    Infinite Tsukuyomi replied to SmartMonkey's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    The quick version: Ego backlash is the answer that your mind is choosing because it sounds the most noble, this would happen even without your meditation eventually. You don't currently have everything you feel like you want in life yet. Your mind is not like other people's but you've masked it extremely well through doing what you "should" be doing. This type of work is highly appealing to who you believe you should be. Yes I relate, and you are not alone. You will receive even more self help esque replies, and you will eat them up. The long version: The good news is that you are likely doing the right things in the spirituality sense, as you get closer and closer to your true nature the ego does indeed backlash. I have to agree with most of what Cred says, meditation will make your problems worse before it makes them better. It took me awhile to accept that. I still meditate but I don't confuse it with my life situation changing. My spiritual practices are for deepening awakenings, and having ever clearer consciousness. Meditation is not a prescription for the neuro-divergent mind. Avoid romanticizing your suffering, there is a possibility it could become toxic. The predicament in which you find yourself, your current life, is not yet tailored to what you want it to be. I suggest get busy and get lost in the process of getting it to where you want it to be. I say that, as to not have you hypnotize yourself with your goals, but rather with the boring day to day things that move you closer to your ideal life. You already meditate, so you have the discipline to make small steps towards various goals you might have. My experience is basically a 1:1 to yours. But after some time, I am convinced that I experience these mood swings and polarities due to undiagnosed ADHD, OCD, bipolar and other disorders. I am considered quite successful to people who know me, was a smart honor roll kid and well functioning in general (from the outside). The inner world is where things are a stark contrast. I read the book Neurosis and Human Growth by Karen Horney. This book brought me to tears and deep anger. I may as well be who is described, even down to this line "He may even speak multiple languages yet does not think he is capable" (slightly paraphrased). We tend to be very attracted to self-help, self actualizing, spirituality and growth in general. These fields are perfect, because they are explicitly "growth areas" but for certain personalities, which I'm suggesting you have, they are ways to avoid more pressing work. What I would do differently if I woke up 21 years old again? I would prioritize actions and activities that undo the identity I built as a child. 9/10 you avoid things that might make you seem like you are not smart and you don't have your shit together. As a child you had to appear as competent, obedient and intelligent. (I'm projecting this onto you, and that is not lost on me). I've been contemplating this for a long time, and only recently got this deep and it is VERY deep. I realized after a skydive that I would rather skydive than dance while someone watched me. A provisional 180 in your life might be useful (I'm still testing this). Meaning allowing yourself to be embarrassed, be wrong, look like a fool, look weak, be mediocre. No one likes these feelings, but it is worse for us. Positive thinking is not for you, but solutions thinking is. Write as many problems about yourself as you can think of, it doesn't matter if they overlap of seem unimportant, then write what you will focus on with action when that problem comes up throughout the day in your mind. This will act as a quick reference guide to ensure you focus on the solution. Your mind is bombarding you with all your problems and it will not stop, then you start feeling better, motivated, inspired, embodied just to fall from grace over and over again as you described. Yes I relate, no you are not alone in that. People like us rarely talk about it in detail, because it is not popular and we sound lazy, anti self help or nihilistic. It is important that you do not let anyone gaslight you about this, because that will start a second fire, wherein you start to doubt your own experience of yourself.
  17. Yo, I just tripped and this scene from the witcher in season4 episode1 where Yen and the other Witches tried to get into this girls mind and then Vilgefortz manifests in her being and talks to them while creepily staring at them and then destroying the body of that poor girl and blowing out her eyes. That flashed my memory in the trip and it was quite disturbing. Would like to trip some more so I need to be careful with what I consume. Is there more creepy shit in the other episodes that may be too much for a gentle soul like myself?

  18. New Episode: Epistemic Responsiblity - Out Now!

    Natasha Tori Maru replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Thanks for the episode. Just finished it. I have a question. More a request for your opinion! In your view: should institutions enforce epistemic standards, or is that a slippery slope toward control?
  19. I'm truly mesmerised and confused about the way Iran is handling this conflict. For the longest time, their responses were the most rational and calibrated. And now what?! They're gone absolutely insane. They're just proving they're terrorists waiting for the right moment to blow up. I mean I understand the situation doesn't leave them many options, but this is literally suicide bombing. Just imagine they develop nuclear.

  20. Finished the LP course

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

    4mg .. more effect then I expected. Not with infinite speed but it felt like a space shuttle in which I moved in the direction of infinity it seems. It felt like quite a lot actually. Not that comfortable to embrace. It was very managable but also a pretty long ride. A scene from the witcher kind of disturbed me. Then - Ego death or very low ego, I cant quite tell. Not shocking or anything but my sense of self simply got a lot less, from attatchments in my chest to attatchments in my brain which got dissolved. Lots of pretty deep thoughts about my days. Some things clicked, for example why I feel like shit when I sit around all day not doing anything or how much shit I took from the old theatre club. Huh, thats interesting, I didnt see any mistakes on my end. I kind of got comforted in my beliefs moreso. Sometimes you can have false beliefs you deeply hold and then a psychedelic can boost that.. My room looks pretty alien. Its very much shaped by my functionality lense and all other kinds of lenses ..
  21. This could be an Iranian failed missile. It doesn't make any sense for US or Israel to attack a school. It's just pointless for them at best.
  22. I like to cook and like food so I'm not the hugest health nut when it comes to cooking. Here's a couple I enjoy. I try to make something like this once a week. Mostly I eat salads and healthier things.
  23. Whoever is currently in power has very unclear objectives, hard to say what they're trying to accomplish strategically besides lashing out. If you teleported me in the Iranian HQ I would be going the humanitarian route and getting the UN on my side going down the US and Israel are war criminals angle and getting international support. It didn't seem like the wellbeing of their country was their priority even beforehand so randomly lashing out and bombing the infidels and planning some kind of symbolic revenge is the path I unfortunately assume they're gonna keep taking. Let's hope they really didn't manage to successfully enrich uranium otherwise deploying a nuclear weapon weapon against Israel or the states would be their hail mary if they're gonna go the religious martyr route.
  24. @LordFall but strategically that seems like a low reward high cost desperate situation to now anger all these countries in the process, just for targeting a handful of US bases .. I mean to get now not just US and Israel against you, but all these other countries. That can't be that smart?

  25. New Chapter in My Life: Habits and Disciplines

    Spiritual Warrior replied to Spiritual Warrior's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    Interlude: I am not a lyricist, I am just a bastard child, here to experiment I want to start taking my life more seriously mainly on the spiritual front. I am all set up to be a successful dancer and dance instructor. All of that will fall into place, as well as my intimate relationship, this all has its place and I can let go and coast off of the foundation that I have built. Where I need a conscious push is in my spiritual pursuit. I am not taking this seriously and I am in a place in which I have so much damn potential. I understand what it means to be enlightened on a conceptual level, which is a rare thing. I understand that a human being increases his level of consciousness in stages. I understand that it is going to take an experimental shift towards the Truth. I can also feel that something is off in my life right now, I see that everything that I am doing is shallow, it lacks meaning. More important to this I might add is how on earth do you know what to pursue when you don't know what the Truth about reality entails? You have it ass backwards.. you are right now pursuing things without knowing how everything works. But how could I understanding everything, is that even possible? I don't know but I'm willing to put in the work to find out.
  27. The US has military bases and troops all over the middle east which is what Iran is targeting.
