Yeah, also the temptation levels are much greater for these famous people, think Tiger Woods etc. Apparently people like Deepak Chopra, Doreen Virtue etc were partying with Hollywood stars back in the day.

This is a very knowledgeable and useful statement. The sexual energy properly channeled rises to higher states of consciousness, and Kundalini usually provides the quantum leap for the same. However, those who are not well-established in meditation, self-control and a disciplined lifestyle will have trouble with the same. This is a reason why you can see religious adherents and even preachers in many religions getting involved in scandals, as they are not able to handle the kundalini rise after acts of devotion. This is particularly troublesome in a materialistic and hedonistic environment. Swami Vivekananda, an eastern saint of the nineteenth century had stated on the same... Vivekananda also cautioned against confusing spiritual growth with emotionalism, and stated that states of emotional excitement can have dangerous consequences if not handled prudently. -

We usually think of sanity as binary, either on or off, at most maybe someone is more insane than the other, and never think about what is the positive aspect of gaining more sanity than normal, what we call in the spiritual sphere more enlightened or awoken. The ability to see reality as it is more accurately, to be even more sober than the norm. If this is true, then we can make a predictive model of enlightenment if we find ways to measure higher levels of sanity and so prove that sanity is central to the philosophical pursuit of the understanding of Metaphysics. We don't usually think of philosophy and psychology together but we should. We should first ask how sane and lucid the philosopher was when he declared his metaphysical statements, and even better to find a way to quantify and to measure his levels so we can know who to trust. -
@Leo Gura Insights from all my contemplation so far: All words are interchangeable meaningless labels There is something (or nothing), and I don't know what it is; labeling it with words is putting it in a box The only way to comprehend/understand this something/nothing is with consciousness, not language This aligns with what I have heard in the past many times from you and other mystics. But in your conversation you mentioned "infinity", "field", "point", "singularity", and then you said, "I mean these things more technically than scientists do". And you also said that reality is perfectly logical. So when you are applying these labels like "infinity", "field", "point", "singularity", etc., are you at the same time aware that this is "maya", and that you are simply using language to explain your worldview because that's the format of your interaction with DemystifySci? Or not?

Hey, I'm working as a software developer (mostly web) for 8-9 years now, and for the last couple years, the industry is being reshaped in front of my eyes due to AI. At the moment, it's like, if you don't use some sort of AI agent in your workflow, you're getting behind, and you feel that each month. Managers push us to use AI more and more, and expect productivity gains due to it, and for the last 2-3 months, AI agents have improved to such a degree that me and most developers around me don't actually type code manually, the process has morphed into talking with an agent, or multiple agents at once, and basically orchestrating them, reviewing code, making sure they do the job correctly, and if an agent isn't able to do something, then we switch back to an old school way and do things manually. These agents affected the industry so much that many of us have anxiety over losing our jobs in the long term. That's why now I'm switching more and more into roles and projects that require more architectural and big-picture thinking skills. If not at the current job, I try to advance those skills with my own toy projects in my free time. So, I was wondering if any of you guys experience similar changes due to AI in your induestries. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts.

I like the simplicity of how this woman creates her cooking videos.

@bazera Yes, for optimal health and moral reasons. I'm big into health and longevity and vegan/vegetarian/pescitarian shows slight edge over meat eating. This is a whole can of worms and debate I don't really want to go into. I've done years and years of deep study into health and longevity and these are just my conclusions. Moral too, after having seen the documentary: earthlings. Just disgusting what we do to animals. However meat tastes great I won't argue with anyone there.

Has anyone else been playing Resident Evil Requiem? It's fantastic! The graphics are stunning, and the audio design is incredible. It truly captures the essence of classic Resident Evil while feeling thoroughly modern and cinematic. I love how they've alternated between horror with Grace and action with Leon; it's a really cool approach.

@Joshe yeah bro. some of his videos are good

This is why this topic engenders so much indifference. Every time I try to bring up the 2000 deal that Yasser Arafat walked away from, the pro-Palestine person says no no, it was Palestine who offered the deal and Israel denied it. And then you link some article from a pro-Palestine echo chamber where all the details are reversed. I’m not even saying that I’m not susceptible to such things either but again, this is madness and so boring how intractable it is. And then the other part is where all Palestinians and Arabs are absolved of their deeds because supposedly Israel is the grand puppet master directing them to do it, again justified by some unverifiable echo chamber conspiracy brain rot. In every discussion of this topic there are multiple levels of absolving Palestinians and Arabs of agency or responsibility for their actions. The bottom line is the Middle East was about as peaceful as it’s been in my 40 year life, and then Hamas shot up a music festival. They broke the peace. The things you say Israel did that are supposedly equivalent happened AFTER that. Sucker punching some civvies at a music festival in a time of peace is some ugly shit. But when a Palestinian does it, the world treats them like a wounded animal who doesn’t understand their actions and can’t be held accountable for them. And then you conflate the idea of the Palestinians and Arabs letting Israel live in peace as the same thing as Israel taking over the whole Middle East. No, this is what BORDERS are. One doesn’t have to dominate the other into extinction. But, if you spend decades shooting rockets into your neighbor, you incentivize them to come over and hold your land to try to make you stop. -
It took me ten years to find my life purpose, and did Leo's course twice to find it. I still don’t fully know how to make it concrete, although I’m working on it. My advice is to try many different things and follow the thread of the ones you find you truly enjoy. And keep asking yourself, If I were a millionaire, what would I do every day without expecting anything in return? For me, that’s the key question. You can see it’s vanilla advice and something that gets repeated a lot, but honestly there’s no other way around it, you just have to be very persistent.

@Leo Gura Yes, makes sense. That’s what I intuited.

@Oppositionless You are 🔥 yoga ROCD is hot 🗑️ -
Hey guys, first post here. Thank you for the opportunity to post on this forum. I've been watching actualized for 2+ years. Young 21 year old male. Been meditating daily for 1+ year. I've seen Leo's videos on Ego Backlash and Dark Side of Meditation which explain what I'm going through quite well. Mostly I am posting to find others who can relate to this. I'll have 2+ day periods of feeling on top of the world. Like I can conquer any challenge, like I can reach out and grab anything I want in life. Feels like the limitations have come finally come off my mind. Sometimes is accompanied by a selflessness, but more often than not it is accompanied by egotism. Like power is flowing through my veins. Then I'll have 1+ weeks of the exact opposite. My mind is hitting me with every negative thought I can come up with. Every insecurity, every negative emotion is just hitting me all at once. My thoughts will tell me my goals are impossible, I'm stuck, will never make it to where I want to go, etc. Cycles like this are pretty much where I'm at 24/7. I never really feel just calm and normal. I've been meditating over a year for an hour a day. I've sort of always had these emotional oscillations. But the meditation has certainly taken the lid off it. I have reframed all of this as spiritual purification, purging, growing pains, etc. I don't intend to stop working through this emotional turmoil, but I wanted to reach out and ask about others' experiences starting meditation. Wow, when I started personal development, there was an expectation that this was going to take ~6 months and all my problems would be solved, haha. I'm getting a lot more than I bargained for. I certainly see the growth, but damn is it more painful and confusing than I could have expected! Appreciate any replies. Thanks!
