  2. My story

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

    Congratulations! Wishing you the best.
  3. I listened to this last night and man this man speaks directly to your soul and gives you the bottom line regarding complex issues that irritate every human and especially those of us who are on this path .Hope you guys listen and benefit from this. Also if you listened feel free to discuss or ask questions regarding what’s said in the satsang .
  4. Yeah it's complicated but it'd be foolish to think it'd ever be simple. It's reality we are talking about, this stuff is so complex it can make you go insane once you start getting in the nitty gritty. Nice, same here. pada 1.
  5. Dear @Leo Gura, What is the most effective way to create a beautiful mind? This is the most inspiring thing for me. Nothing else comes close. For me, it appears to be as follows: (In order of immediate effectiveness.) Number 1: Awakening. Reaching states of God consciousness and states of non-dual awareness, states of consciousness of absolute truth. This ideally looks like creating as many 5-MeO-DMT breakthroughs as I can consciously and healthily stomach. Including that, is by facing my fear of death directly, through lower doses of psychedelics and through direct self-inquiry, till I reach death similar to Leo’s "2C-B Trip Report - Experiencing Physical Death" https://youtu.be/9_WL0hoRA7s In addition, facing all of your traumas, systematically facing fear, ideally through psychedelics. Getting into the right state. https://www.actualized.org/insights/wrong-state Related: https://www.actualized.org/insights/brain-fuel Number 2: Developing your Sensemaking, Studying epistemology, and metaphysics. Deconstruction of Reality, rationality, science, etc., Practice of Real Philosophy through Direct contemplation of Reality from first principles. Studying Leo’s content. Reading books from Leo’s booklist (and any other great metaphysics/epistemology/consciousness book). Studying The 9 Stages of Ego Development. Creating loads and loads of requisite variety in your studies: Hundreds of sources, hundreds of experiences, hundreds of case studies, contemplating hundreds of things, etc. Making explaining of reality and contemplation of reality into a strong almost automatic habit. Really living the life of a sage. Number 3: Actively Becoming aware of your Bias/Selfishness/Devilry/Corruption/Double Standards/Where you are wrong/ Self-deception by having a routine contemplation practice into this. Understanding the force of survival to profound degrees. Number 4: Rewiring your nervous system and Altering your Brain Chemistry: Rewiring your nervous system with Kriya Yoga Practice, Heavy Metal Detox, Eating Clean, doing proper exercise, mastering your sleep schedule, drinking properly filtered water, ridding any additions to stimulation that is frying your brain, whether that be media addiction with your phone or substance use. Cultivating a brain that can actually focus and isn’t distracted into oblivion. Number 5: Systematically designing your life and survival situation to be aligned with Truth and Love. Ideally aligned with a consciously created life purpose such that acting in a conscious loving way is rewarded, not punished. Mastering your survival such that it is conducive to this work of being a sage, effectively creating a lifestyle of inquiry and learning. Now, obviously, in practice, these are going to be pursued alongside each other, but I simply want to pinpoint down: What the hell is the most effective in creating massive growth? What the hell do I focus on to really create a beautiful mind? What are the biggest levers of this work? (For definition's sake, I’ll quickly define “the work” as: Creating a beautiful mind aligned with the intelligence of God. Or: The raising of your consciousness, raising your sensemaking ability, jailbreaking your mind, unlocking access to “alien intelligence.”) What are the biggest levers in aligning my mind with that of God? To be direct, I would appreciate Leo’s perspective on what he sees as the most impactful areas for my growth in consciousness development. If needed, I’m open to providing more context so this can be meaningfully addressed here on the forum. I infer that Leo has become more restrained about openly promoting psychedelics, likely because he recognizes the influence he has and the risk that people may misuse them irresponsibly. That said, I still want a clear, direct answer on what the most important things are to focus on. If I want to create a beautiful mind: What are the best things I can do, the highest leverage techniques that will get me there? You could say I’m looking for more clarity on the direction with all of this... Additional Contexts to mention. Because Leo, I’ve been studying your work for a long time: Leo, On Nov 4th 2018, you’ve mentioned “The most powerful techniques you’ve discovered” in the episode “65 Core Principles Of Living The Good Life” as follows: https://youtu.be/BqWPqZK-Ikg?t=7326 Psychedelics Meditation Meditative yoga Journaling Contemplation Visualization Solo Retreats Leo, if I am remembering correctly and if I understood what I read correctly, I've seen you express attitudes and opinions that Kriya Yoga was far superior to any meditation. Right now the most effective techniques appear to be psychedelics, kriya yoga, contemplation, and solo retreats. Side note: What is your opinion now on the relative effectiveness on journaling and visualization? In your Solo Retreat notes of March 2019 you mention that 5-Meo-DMT is THE tool to use for awakening your consciousness: https://www.actualized.org/insights/solo-retreat-notes-feb-2019 “5-MeO-DMT is the ultimate awakening tool. Let's stop beating around the bush. No other technique, method, or teaching is as direct, deep, or powerful. Not meditation, not yoga, not contemplation, not self-inquiry, not any other psychedelic. 5-MeO-DMT is the guru. No guru can do for you what 5-MeO-DMT can do for you. If Christ or the Buddha came back to life and personally taught you one-on-one for 10 years, they would not be as effective as a few doses of 5-MeO-DMT. That's a bold claim. Yet it's undeniably true for anyone who seriously experiments with 5-MeO-DMT. 5-MeO-DMT will not solve all of your growth challenges, it may not even permanently awaken you, but it can lead you to super-human levels of awakening if you use it properly — and I emphasize PROPERLY!” In your episode “What Is Fake Spirituality?” You stress that REAL Spirituality is Ego Dissolution and that You're doing spirituality to experience God, which aligns with 5-MeO-DMT use a lot. You also outline an overall scope of what real spirituality looks like in practice. Outlining all the points of direct inquiry. https://youtu.be/ECUHkflwBQc In “An Intro To Serious Philosophy - Top Advice For Philosophers” you mention committing to at least 100 psychedelic trips. Alongside having a rigorous contemplation practice, a practice of inquiry through deep contemplation and observation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InmNW96qcUk You stress like crazy pretty much everywhere that proper sensemaking is number one. https://www.actualized.org/insights/conscious-vs-unconscious-sense-making https://www.actualized.org/insights/the-loop-of-wrong-sense-making You also stress that Truth is the highest priority to have. https://youtu.be/nvNGha_g2U4 You stress exercising Epistemic Responsibility: https://youtu.be/W5kvXJNMMM4 You underline that a deep study of your own self-deception is imperative to this work. You emphasize becoming conscious of your selfishness and bias. Understanding your forms of lying, Devilry, Corruption, Why you avoid Truth, Double Standards, Understanding Survival, Where you are wrong, etc. You stress that you have to understand how your sensemaking is being squashed by conforming to pre-established systems of thought. Such as Skepticism, Science, Rationality, Post-modernism, and also understanding the nature of belief, such as understanding ideology, understanding authority, and understanding conformity itself. Deconstructing all of your thinking is the bread and butter: Deconstructing rationality, science, ideology, belief, etc. You stress that Truth = Love. You Stress having holistic attitudes towards your sensemaking with Understanding holism. Developing sovereignty of mind is also imperative to further rid your dependence on others as mentioned in your video: The Root Solution To People Pleasing & Loneliness. An awakening into solipsism helps here as well, obviously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZqEMok_NXw And you know what, to be honest, I might just be overwhelmed by the workload. There is a lot here. And there comes to be a point where I start asking what are red herrings and what aren't. In a way I'm very lost in Maya. To be clear, I genuinely enjoy studying and learning this material, it's my favorite hobby at this point. But I notice I struggle to follow through with the level of industriousness that I want to be at. For example, let’s say I aim to read at a rate of about one book per week, yet I’m currently struggling to maintain a rate of one book per month. I want to be a completionist with Leo's work. Lots of it is due to managing survival, but the other half has also been just not being industrious with my studies in the way I would like to, another aspect of this is the sheer volume of this work. I think I am fooling myself by focusing on studying all of the content, and putting little to no focus on the Pure Philosophy of contemplating reality from first principles. I'm honestly really bad at that. I do that actually really rarely, yet I understand the power of it, I can change my paradigm of reality in an afternoon if I want to contemplate for 5 hours straight. But this is what my behaviour has been like. Another note is this: I have significant difficulty focusing. Gotta love that ADHD. It’s hard for me to pick one task or one project and see it through to completion. Even when I intend to commit, I find myself pulled in different directions, which makes consistency challenging. This is also why I’ve been so interested in Leo’s mind programming course. At the same time, I recognize that I’ve done the best I could given my current level of awareness and understanding. You better believe I'm lost in my personal maze. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeIfHozjcls 🐀 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 🧀

  6. Funny video thread

    Wilhelm44 replied to Raze's topic in Off-Topic: Pop-Culture, Entertainment, Fun

  7. I don't know about that stuff, sounds very complicated. Though i know i'm a Mula in my moon nakshatra pada 3. I see similarities between me and other Mulas like Trent Reznor, or even arnold scwharzeneger. INTJ personality in MBTI i think
  8. Planetrary energies are defined very impersonally so it is hard to treat them like archetypes mapped onto human personalities. Example: Mars could mean brotherly love but also aggression. Is the aggression from a perspective of dharma or adharma? It gets tricky. So I draw a birth chart, decide on an ascendent and place the 9 planets around based on what I want. Example follow up: Mars in Capricorn 10th house: Now that is specifically a person who is good at getting shit done. But remember, that's different from Saturn in Libra because that one is also good at getting shit done.. just in a different way. I stopped believing in birth charts a while back, but I dont discount how useful the whole model is which developed over centuries and millenia. The best use case I get is I can notice what type of energy my life is currently embodying, so I can predict future stuff. Which can be counteracted through known rules. Example 2: "Damn, it's like whenever I try to do honest work to earn money, it always turns dishonest in some way. That sounds a lot like Rahu 10th House. Hmm. To counteract this I need some Jovian energy. Best place would be Jupiter 9th house. 9th house is the house of Dharma so one solution is "Guide my Rahu Ambition with Jovian Ethics" so I should probably decide on a set of principles. Oh wait, isnt 9th house also of the father and gurus? A jupiter in 9th would mean guidance from fathers and teachers. Let me seek moral guidance from them too, this would increase the Jovian 9th house influence in my life hopefully counteracting the Rahu 10th house energy!"
  9. Cool. Well if that works for you then it works for you and having a new method might ruin things for you. Do you stick by one "path/planet" for a longer period or do you obsessively switch like i did in the beginning of my journey?
  10. I do something similar but with the 9 vedic astrology planets instead.
  11. i'm extra careful and diplomatic now trying not to get kicked if this information is too "far out, man..." and i have a tendency to get shut down on other forums such as reddit or other forums. In fact i posted my techniques on reddit, it received a lot of likes quickly but shortly after that it got dismissed on the r/occult so....I know this stuff can be controversial, magic is dangerous. apply it wisely. Like i said, the empress is an amazing path, i recommend it. The greatest of dangers is that you'll constantly, obsessively switch between different paths and never settling. I did that. Now i've been in the empress for several months and i'm noticing how possibilities in life are opening up to me. It is essentially as if i have opened up my third eye and become aware of future implications and also having visionary ideas that i intend to follow through on. Best of luck. I highly recommend the empress once again.

  12. advice on text game

    PsychedelicEagle replied to Olaf's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    The phone is for setting dates. @Olaf I send a couple of messages back and forth if it's the first time we're texting. Here are the types messages I'd send, in order: Hey, it's John, cool meeting the other day <refer back to something in the conversation we had in person, usually something I'm interested to learn about her> Continue the conversation normally and ask her out So by message or "turn" #3 I'm asking her out. Notice it's always better to ask when she's free instead of asking for a specific date. "Flirting" at this stage manifests itself by me asking questions and being interested in her. I'm not sending emojis nor going out of my way to find "funny" subjects. The conversation naturally gets playful — you shouldn't try to make it playful. But also notice it's good to keep the conversation on the phone to a minimum so you'll have more to talk about in person, as well as keeping the mystery alive. It's OK to send a boring text when it has a purpose (e.g., logistics for the next date). If the girl is into you, she'll see your message and like it even if it's plain or boring. You don't need to go out of your way to find "funny" or "flirty" subjects and the like.
  13. Today
  14. So you may know about tarot cards and the 22 major arcana cards. The fool, the magician, the high priestess, the empress.... Well i found a methodolgy for how one can turn oneself into different archetypes. I have chosen to turn myself into the empress archetype, in previous posts i was the fool, which you can probably notice in that I was making some troll-y posts (though still with a serious under-tone) but if i could teach you how i do this stuff you would probably appreciate it. I first want to say that the empress is the symbol for the imagination, my imagination is more potent now. The fool is superconsciousness, both can lead to creative breakthroughs but the fool is more nuts. Literally bipolar disorder... So first i'll give you a link: https://cosmicnavigator.com/learn/the-22-paths-of-the-tree-of-life/path-3/ <---The empress, "Creative people walk this path" and a second link: https://www.servantsofthelight.org/QBL/ So it's all related to the kabbalah, there are 22 paths in the kabbalah tree of life, connecting the sephiroth with one another. Each path has a different work assosciated with it The Magician is science, and it increases concentration and memory, i believe Leo Gura is a magician archetype, but that's just my guess. He's very rigorous and rational. You can achieve a lot through that path, make great content, all sorts of things open up to you as a magician, but you take a rational approach to things, even art. You become like a technical artist if you were to do art that way.... The empress sort of turns you into either nikola tesla or david bowie. both are venusians and the empress is connected to Venus. It increases imagination like i said. so you become sort of a visionary, also very generous, i turned too this path and i gave a homeless man some money when i was recycling beer-cans. Now the joker archetype, the first archetype, is like kurt cobain, hes a joker archetype, you'll get genius ideas that are revolutionary, whether it be music and stuff. There's also darker paths you can take, like the path of tiferet-netzach which is the Death card and it makes you a criminal basically. So to the METHOD.... You basically just visualize the sephiroth (the spheres) that are involved in the given path. For instance I'm in the Empress now and it's Chokmah (wisdom) connected with Binah (Understanding) Whilst visualizing chant the names of the sephiroth and visualize the line connecting them and the name of the path. Like this: "Chokmah....Binah...Daleth!" (Daleth is the name of the 4th path (the empress) and it's the 4th letter in the hebrew alphabet. Aleph is the first letter, turns you into the Fool or the joker archetype. But beware guys, this stuff is potentially dangerous. It goes well together with chakra meditation, i assume this isn't even possible if you haven't opened your chakras through kundalini yoga. But that's my guess. Leo Gura or other admins might look at this post and say it's unfounded, it's unscientific, that is all coming from The Magician consciousness. The high priestess opens you up to Far Memory and your subconsciousmind, which enables you to develop psychic abilities to an extent, have dreams that are divinatory and highly symbolic. As an empress i intend to create music videos in my room with a green screen and stuff. I play guitar pretty well and am intending to make some money that way, alsoo intending to get jobs and stuff so i'm not like a super actualized human being like all y'all might be but I've discovered these methods on my own and by a stroke of luck and TRUST ME IT WORKS. I'm not trying to sell you something that doesn't work and i give away this knowledge to all y'all Freely in hopes that it can turn your life around. But stick to one path for a longer period is my recommendation. The Empress is also the Third Eye path so it enhances wisdom, I recommend it. For the second link i provided, click on the spheres and the lines if you want to access the information of that given Sephiroth or Path. Thank you all for reading, hope i provided a 'High Consciousness-Resource' And i hope i don't get kicked or banned for this if it is antithetical to Actualized.org's principles.
  15. Men are approaching women, just less men doing it.
  16. Just daily casual occurrence you know
  17. My view is that reality doesn't have a prerogative. It doesn't have an end goal it's trying to reach. Humans just project those qualities onto reality. There definitely seems to be a survival quality but it's more like a programed instinct rather than intelligent decision making. And obviously within reality there are biological creatures that appear to be self aware or self conscious, but there isn't an all encompassing consciousness or universal consciousness actually happening. The identification of Being this conscious universal reality it what I totally disagree with. That identification aspect was clearly recognized here to be completely illusory. It's like a delusional exaduration of the self illusion (spiritual ego) We don't have to agree on these points.........reality still flows regardless!!!

  18. Axioms of Optimism

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

    Assuming I'm the one who's cheating in the bedroom, I'm wondering if both cases are optimistic. Case 1: Cheating in the boardroom is condoned, because cheating in the bedroom is condoned. <-- Optimistic? Case 2: Cheating in the boardroom is NOT condoned, because cheating in the bedroom is condoned. <-- Optimistic? Why? Because, if they're both optimistic, that explains why I'm struggling to choose between them. That's all. Is it less complicated now? The question isn't about free-sex.
  19. Good point, J While nobody is experiencing or having a thought, the content of the thought is what carries the “I”. Believing that this thought-content has an actual existence is the illusion. Similarly, the illusion of a separate self arises when you take ownership of a particular experience through the thought “my” or “mine.”
  20. Are you saying how nuclear energy works is smarter/more intelligent, than a human? This seems like a category/domain error. You are comparing a physical process to the human mind?????
  21. Fiction is my confession. 📖
  22. You too : D
  23. Okay, I’ll take snarky. No problem. Have a lovely day Sugarcoat. 🙂
  24. I was feeling funny, truly no hostility here, because you were snarky so it inspired it in me
  25. I dont actually know if thats in the title, or if its even the words mentioned (im not sure that was the main idea of the video, or if it was sortve like, more of the substrate of what was the title/main part) And the words themselves ~Like, i am calling it *exhaust all possibilities, but i dont think thats the way it was described. i could prolly find it quicker just going through it myself, as i will recognize it when i start getting closer to it -kindve thing. Like i wanna say its one of the ones that are recent, as in, maybe last 4 years, tho i said 5/6 now i started thinkin to myself "wasnt it sortve recent though?" maybe even within 3 years, tho i could be mixn things it could be that i watched it 3 years ago, but it was really 6 years ago that it was made typeve mixups. Or i watched it 4 years ago when it came out 4 years ago, i cnt remember. p.s. dont ask me why 3 years ago is "recent" but 6+ is a long time ago... iuno why thats how i am gauging things, but it is atm.
  26. Okay.
  27. Exactly! You are God/ infinity. You cannot know God/ infinity, because You are it. It’s like a mountain cannot know it’s a mountain, because it is it. A word cannot know it’s a word, because it is it. Some people might not be able to grasp what’s being said here, but some people will. And it doesn’t really matter.
