And precisely because this was never about money, money should be handled first. As a prerequisite. Not because it matters spiritually, but out of respect for the awakening itself. You don't want the most profound work of your existence interrupted by human logistics.

The world needs ditch diggers too. -
I never said anything about regret. Regret is backwards-looking. I'm talking about design. And I genuinely respect what you built. I'm building on top of it. But "it was necessary" and "it was optimal" are different things. You can own a path completely and still notice that a cleaner design was possible. Those aren't contradictory. The set and setting principle doesn't stop at the room and the music. It extends to the whole life container. You teach this. I'm not saying you failed, nor saying that in your place I would have done anything different. I'm saying you made it harder than it needed to be, and then used that difficulty as part of the narrative.

I am not trying to scare anyone away. However, I have done this work for so long and it has become so deep now that I cannot be constantly catering to skittish newbies. I speak what is true without triangulating about who it will offend. I can't be bogged down by those concerns anymore. If people are scared then they are not mature enough to learn what I have to teach anyway. I can't sugarcoat this work for people. How many people do you think I lost by speaking about God so much? A lot. But I can't be catering my work to people like that. I said True Religion for my hardcore listeners who can appreciate what that means. Newbies will not understand. This doesn't mean I'm starting some ideology. -
Air purifiers only work in the movies lol. HEPA is good for large particles but the damage is done at the molecular level and it cant be filtered out with out compromise. To get the molecules out you need carbon filters and the likes and they introduce new toxins into the air as a bi-product. They also generally dont work, a single unlit candle off gasses so much its unfilterable basically, the problem is 100 to 1. The real option is to move to a location with good outdoor air, in low housing density areas. Like ski mountains. I currently am in -6 degrees indoors with the windows open, 3 jackets on. It sounds crazy but the options are 1) be cold or 2) be sick.

I cited it because this film seems to represent the stage orange worldview. Other examples show the consequences of ignoring the power of big corporations. I would actually consider working in a big corporation to be a stage blue work environment because you're primarily just following procedures and submitting to authority. While orange emphasizes working hard, it contrasts with blue in that it does not consider obedience to be a high virtue. The ideal orange working environment is that of an entrepreneur.

I do own my decisions. I would not change what I did. It was all necessary. It was never about money. It is my responsiblity to access the deepest consciousness possible. In 13 years I took a channel about simple self-help to a channel that teaches the deepest insights in existence. And I did this while being in the public spotlight and many people gaslighting me, constantly telling me misinformation and to stop. This is what it took to do that and I don't regret it.

@integral Remind me to buy you a gasmask for Xmas.

I agree, feeling the emotion deeply instead of suppressing/running from it is a core technique. It only has to be avoided in your main place of residence, were most of your time is spent. But thats still a large task at first to get right. Foiling the couch is a joke of course, you just throw that out The walls are the key, 100% sealed container with a pipe pulling air in from the window

In Leo's recent video (Epistemic Responsibility) and on some of his recent blog posts, he has referred to Actualized.org as "True Religion," which to be clear, I personally have zero issue with this. In fact, for me what Actualized.org is, is very much like a religion (not in the ideological sense, at least not entirely.) But if this was the first episode of his I had listened to, I would have been immediately turned off. Perhaps that is the intention? Is it the intention to scare away anyone who doesn't currently understand? I doubt that. I understand why calling Actualized.org "True Religion" makes complete sense and is completely appropriate. But when anyone else who hasn't listened to Leo talk for hundreds of hours, what they hear will likely be "The True Religion" which isn't what Actualized.org is. While a part of me loves this term "True Religion" and feels that it is very fitting, it heavily risks bringing ideology with it. With how many warnings and disclaimers Leo puts warning against blind faith, and the vital need to self verify his claims, I'm surprised Leo would even allow this word to enter his vocabulary. I suppose this is also similar to Leo using the word "God" when the God Leo describes is far different from most conceptions of God, but nonetheless, the word God happens to be a more truthful symbolic representation of God. Perhaps it is the same situation with "True Religion" I have very mixed feelings about this term, what do y'all think about it?

Too much nonsense to unpack here.

Are you being sarcastic or not?

Hey. I've done 2500+ Kriya Pranayama 1 (KP1) since starting one and a half months ago. The problem is I think I've been doing parts of it wrong. Is it meant to be done with Uyajji Breathing? One of the instructions in KP1 says you must make a "SHAAAWWWW" sound (First sound made with Uyajji Breathing), and other pranayama types are done with Uyajji breathing. So should I learn Uyajji and incorporate it with KP1? The JC Stevens written instructions say move energy from Muladhara to Medulla, but the illustrations has arrows in the Sushumna where the energy is meant to be directed, which I interpret as: Raise energy from Muladhara to Ajna -> localize energy at Medulla -> send it down back to Muladhara. (I do the Technique Tip of sending warm energy down the backside of the spine rather than through the Sushumna.) What I do from reading Leo's instructions and JC Steven's instructions/illustrations are: 1. Raise cool prana from Muladhara to Ajna through the Sushumna 2. Continue raising the prana through brainstem and brain, blasting both 3. Localise energy at Medulla 4. Send warm prana down the backside of the spine from Medulla to Muladhara. Am I doing KP1 right? Finally, I need some reassurance. Even though I think I've been getting some steps wrong, and obviously not being perfect on the correct steps as a beginner, subjectively in my view I'm still getting benefits. Those 2500+ pranayama have not gone to waste, right? I've still got benefits?

I think in the context of this thread, this sort of status chasing (Owens extent) isn't normal for the general population. Everyone has their own little status game, but the grandiosity of what is spoken about here is next level.

I understand and respect your path, but you can own your decisions. There is no reason to do a 90 day 5-meo mega trip, while also working as a human, this is a recepie for suffering. Why not treat economic independence as part of the preparation, the outer set and setting, before diving into 90 days of the deepest inner work possible? I also have a life as a human. And it has not been an easy life. But I will never use my own personal drama as an argument against other people not knowing the depth of my awakenings

When you get enlightened you will cry so hard. Crying is the mind disidentifying with someone. If you see God you will cry all your tears. The reason cry when they see God is they are disidentifying with something. Like if your mother dies, you are disidentifying with her when you cry. When I see God I cried for 3 months. Crying is forgetting. You will also keep crying. You will be like those weird enemies from advent children that keep crying. God is so cool that its a coolness you will look at and start bawling. Have you ever seen something so cool it makes you cry in awe? I have never assigned anything to be cooler than my avatar except God. Its so awesome you can help but completely dissolve yourself as a lame fuck.

Fun as that would be, I restrain my most unhinged ideas, especially when it comes to others. It's a meme I found somewhere, maybe even on this forum.

Time is the substrate and carrier that makes change possible. Without time, there is no change and everything is static. Just as space is the substrate and carrier for matter and existence. Without space, there would be nothing. Without change, nothing matters. With change, everything matters. To matter is to change. To not matter is to not change. Time by itself does not change anything. It’s merely the carrier. A continuous void of nothingness changes nothing. It takes energy to change and form matter (and therefore meaning). It also takes energy to disform matter. Energy is what emerges out of nothing and nowhere. Energy is actualised change potential. A field of potential is what sits on top of spacetime. The emergence, existence and interaction of energy is what makes the world. The whole notion of physics collapses if there’s no change. This is why God loves change.

I wrote a giant wall of text but then the trashy browser or forum software wiped it all while I was away. No big deal, I'll recreate it from memory later on, just don't feel like typing so much again atm. Threw together a playlist with some more visual representations and other stuff on Autism Awakening. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIEFsHjIryOfn8u2jBQcxwqb0sOMgXbDa Throw non-manipulative primary psychopathy and functioning DPDR into the mix and you get something like me. On multipotentiality, there were a few amazing members here, stark examples of it and ND in general, that unfortunately don't visit much anymore or disappeared entirely. Some more case studies for you. https://www.actualized.org/forum/profile/32427-keryo-koffa/content/ https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/103447-nuwu-appreciation-thread-appreciation-is-spirituality-so-it-counts/

Did you actually send this to someone one?

@PenguinPablo Most humans are not megalomaniacs chasing power, status, and fame. This is a pretty rare driver in humans. Owen is a maniac in this regard. He is not normal. In a bad way. In a way that he will never be at peace. His appetite is insatiable. Such people cannot be in stable relationships. Relationship requires settling and being satisfied with what you got. It's the paradox of choice. Pickup gives so much choice that you end up more miserable than if you just settled down with a 6. It's ironic that as a Christian, Owen does not recognize that lust, greed, and vanity are sins. Owen addicted to the thrill of the chase.

thanks for the kind words. It's been a loooong time since I last had an experience of the kind. My recovery process involved doubling down on meditation practices, and connecting with life in different manners. Also recontextualizing that this episodes of derealisation have no evil quality to themselves, rather, the fear I felt was not the usual "there is a bear coming" fear, it was more like "I've never had this experience in my life, I don't know what it is, and I don't feel particulary good about this" More like a fear of the unknown The thing that helped me the most was just focusing on expanding my baseline consciousness There was a breaking point though, i think it is worth mentioning practicing meditation everyday, is good but try to build up momentum to the point where you can meditate for at least 40 entire minutes without getting bothered A deeper sense of I AM will prevail just be that and keep practicing that what it did for me was not that it eliminated the episodes from happening in the future, but it allowed me to understand them, by what they actually are. Consciousness can focus on anything. If you focus on how you are focusing too much, probably, you will do that in circumstances where you didn't initially thought about. Like, you can be cooking a meal, and then become conscious of the activity, then yourself, then the entire room, and even struggle to distinguish a thing from another, but also notice, there is ALWAYS awareness. Even during an episode. This awareness will forever remain untouched, since its You, the real You, not the human you. When you re-contextualize everthing as appearance, except awareness itself, then, any sort of appearance will be seen as such, appearance, it comes and goes Maybe another thing that might help right now, is to try and ground yourself with some human things, in order to give yourself a break if you need it

Gocha. Really sorry to hear that. Thank you nonetheless for all that you did share, helped me personally to be a lot more cautious and smart with psychedelics when necessary. It's very much appreciated.
