    And do you daydream without audiobooks?

  3. Changing my Reading Strategy

    Davino replied to Davino's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Most books don't need that level of attention and retention, it's about having sudden insights that precipitate over hours of listening, exposing yourself to good media/input, learning new ways of thinking and pattern recognition etc. For heavy books I still prefer to read calmly, I just discovered there are very few books worth it of that.

    Yes that could be the case, but the point is different: I can't read a book while walking, cooking, or driving, but I can listen to an audiobook.
  5. @Joseph Maynor 40 groups
  6. What does approaching 40 sets mean?
  7. Just wait and buy second hand. You don't need to play on release. It's an old game you already played before with a new coat of paint.
  8. What a savage video about Pokémon
  9. In the Secret Teaching of All Ages, Manly P. Hall recounts this old mystery school allegory of how at the end of the journey satan transfigures into his true form of lucifer and tells man that he(lucifer) became the demon satan out of love for man and all the pain and torment was inflicted in mans best interest because it was the only way it could be in order for mans true potential to be fulfilled. He's probably right.
  10. Do you guys ever wonder if you're agreeing with Leo because Leo's right or because Leo said it? I have this problem sometimes. It's not because I don't introspect to see if I'm believing or actually conscious of something. Rather, it's because Leo is so right about pretty much everything that I end up wondering if my mind was subconsciously influenced by actualized.org content to adopt the same conclusions. Or alternatively, it could be because reality is what it is and anyone can reach the same conclusions if they do truth seeking correctly. Some things Leo is right about: Oneness, nonduality The limits of science and the myth of science Identifying rationalism Academic philosophy being bullshit Ideology, Conformity, the social matrix God existing, and what God is Solipsism (nonduality has to solipsistic, in case you didn't catch on) Cognitive and ego development The ego and self-deception The weird thing is that as I do this work, I arrive at many of the same conclusions as Leo. Of course I already had heard about them, but my understanding becomes much deeper. The only issue is that I could be deceiving myself by using actualized.org as a sort of paradigm and then falling for confirmation bias. I think the only solution to this is more introspection, removing beliefs, and contemplation. But it's still not easy. It's important to be aware of the drawbacks of actualized.org. The content is really good, insanely good, inhumanly good. But the cost is that you're exposed to the most profound insights before actually doing the work that is needed to get there, and as a result you have the potential to reach higher peaks of consciousness but also to get bogged down in a very advanced form of a paradigm.
  11. @Leo Gura I am working on it, I do try to do less self ejection, sometimes during the day tho girls just walk away during day game, maybe I need to work on my stop aswell to just stop them hard. At night its a bit easier to have longer conversations for me, this was all day game btw.
  12. Gracias!
  13. Good for you. Enjoy it while it lasts.
  14. If you want to give true substance to an abstraction the first thing you do is very lovingly and very tenderly run it through a shitpipe of existential terror of a feeding and fucking frenzy until the madness is beyond all measure .. anything short of this and you still got nothing but gossamer cotton candy instead of true vital sentience giving expression to a fierce and burning love as it rips through eternity into infinity.

  15. Challenging Leo on women

    Joseph Maynor replied to Alexop's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    @Emerald I would love to hear more from you regarding Jungian psychology on here.
  16. Messaged you.
  17. That is what one would think. They have university degrees so learning some basic game is no problem but it is. On university one learns about IQ but game is more about EQ. Totally different skill set. It is their own responsibility though. I won’t go out of my way to teach it. I only give out warnings here and there that youth is wasted on the young of some sorts. From my experience these guys don’t even need game. They need to work on confidence, self concept, how to present oneself , and basic social skills.
  18. Life is joy to me.
  19. Life is suffering. So what?
  20. Examine the If.
  21. Yes! We need more blog videos
  22. @Zeroguy in a dream, do you have control over what you dream? And still you are creating the dream. Your logical flaw is, that you dont grasp that creating others and then forgetting that you did that and have therefore no control anymore is intentionally dreamed by you as god.

  23. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

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

    I take issue with this in the sense that I think the tactic of demonizing people can be self-serving too. Sometimes we demonize others so we can avoid self-reflection. https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-750
  24. Today
  25. Nah man, I don't think so. This is all crap.

  26. Jiang NarrativePorn - Collapse

    AerisVahnEphelia replied to AerisVahnEphelia's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events

    Still, Jiang has predicted quite a few major things correctly (and we know the details don't matter that much, and he knows that too). I'm siding with him on the idea that the war in Iran is going to get worse and worse, and he has been talking about this since the first month of the war. It gives him a certain credibility. It's not all fearmongering. I think he genuinely believes in what he says, which at least means he isn't a true grifter. Now, he is definitely abusing the opportunity to gain fame and recognition, while also continuing to feed the media machine he has become with a lot of filler. So that's something to keep in mind. Still, many of his theories can contribute to a broader framework for my own future predictions. It's one POV I can still use as long as I'm cautious with it, like acid in my own formula.
