You can easily dream an alternate timeline, so that's not good enough. -
Don't overlook the possibility that you might be talking to and tormenting yourself.

Intuition generates ideas and models, which then need to be tested via something akin to scientific method. In the end, experience is king. All your ideas needs to be tested against experience in some fashion. For example, if you intuit that someone is your soul mate, you can put that to the test by marrying them and seeing how that plays out. You'll likely quickly discover how wrong you were. And if there is no way to test your intuitive idea, then you should regard it as a fantasy. For example, if you feel that aliens built the pyramids but you have no way to put that to the test, then it's a fantasy/speculation. You are right that Absolute Truth cannot be falsified and it is necessarily tautological. But all these New Age spiritual teachings are not Absolute Truth, they are human conceptions. Absolute Truth is not a conceptual scheme. Any conceptual scheme can turn out wrong. "Big foot is real" is a conceptual scheme. Unless big foot is standing before you. -
Maybe I'm wrong. This work is about direct experience. So when you veer away from that, I will not indulge you. I understand that's frustrating, but we have epistemic standards to uphold here for your own good. Any teacher worth his salt should not let you veer off into ungrounded speculation and fantasy.

God doesn't need nor want to put a stop to it. That's your desire. Stop asking God to suit your desires and needs. God has a higher agenda.

All the above.

Yes. You can't just apply my list like a baboon to get to the truth. That would be too easy. My series isn't done yet. But as my list said, beware of perspectives which are unfalsifiable. Notice that New Agers love to construct unfalsifiable spiritual views. Saying that intuition is always right is like saying that the Quran is always right. Same epistemic structure. So when you follow the Quran and something turns out bad, people will just rationalize it as: well, it was good for me to get into this shit because it taught me a valuable lesson about swimming in shit, so the Quran wins afterall. Notice, we can do the same for Actualized.org teachings. Any bad advice that Leo gives must ultimately be good because even if it leads you to shit, that will be a good lesson for you in handling shit. Therefore it is definitionally impossible for Leo to give bad advice. It is absolutely critical for you to realize that your intuitions can and will lead you into profound self-deception if you are not extra careful. Intuition is a heuristic, not an absolute. Intuition hallucinates, like AI. So you will get hallucination errors. -
It's a serious existential-level problem. But to simplify it, you need filters against fools and bullshitters who just want to exploit your openmindedness. Be infinitely openminded in private within your own mind when you do serious inquiry work, but in public when dealing with humans you need filters and boundaries. For example, stop listening to anyone who demonstrates they have low intellectual integrity or no genuine interest in inquiry or openmindedness. If someone is being closedminded you cut them off. You also use the list of criteria I gave you in this week's episode to screen out all the epistemic perverts. Being openminded does not mean that you endlessly indulge fools in their epistemic errors.

We already have a thread for this. -
Nice job. Just be careful please. You are headed in a dangerous direction.

Zionist delusions are on another level.

No. All your warnings are itemized for you in your profile.

Don't overlook how many spiritual people have awful politics. -
Maybe God won't dream forever. Be careful what you assume.

You guys fail to understand that humans can be extremely lopsided. They can be very good in some narrow areas like founding tech companies, and very bad in other areas like politics or social media, precisely because all their skill points are dumped into that one narrow area they are good at. Musk is genuinely great in certain domains, and awful in others. There is no contradiction and you should expect this rather than be flummoxed by it. It's okay to admit that Musk is good at business. That doesn't mean his political ideas are good, or that his morality is good, or that his gaming is good. These are all independent variables. -

@Bobby_2021 If I see you post any more factual misinformation in this sub-forum you will be blocked from posting in the Politics sub-forum. So watch yourself. Your political bias has gotten out of hand. There is a limit to what we will put up with here. People are complaining about you to me. -
Of course you will. There are literally thousands of girls out there who would sleep with you if only you bothered to meet them. Of course you don't have the time to meet them all.

You are right. Warning points have been issued on this matter.

Birds are smarter than Wall Street humans.

He is not Awake. Stop quoting him. You spread BS on this forum like a devil.

Fantasies. You know not.

You can prove it if you go out and socialize a lot. You need to be responsible for socializing regularly. Every day you sit on the internet whining about women and not out talking to them, you are being irresponsible.

No. They are as clueless as rats and just go about survival by any means their rat minds can scheme together. Doesn't have to be a balance. What you consider nightmares is your own judgment and projection. It's hard for me to tell. But keep contemplating. Keep your contemplations grounded in direct experience, not wild speculations about the afterlife. That is not good contemplation.

There are 1000+ boyfriends and girlfriends for everyone. The only problem is that you don't want to put in the work it takes actualize them. If you keep being lazy and irresponsible you might end up with zero.
