  1. I'm not revealing yet what the new course will be about. But it will be a course that is useful to 100% of people and my viewers, regardless of where you are on your path. It doesn't matter whether you're into spirituality or not at all, this course will be hella useful to you. It doesn't matter whether you've watched a single Actualized video before, or if you've watched them all. But if you've watched them all, this course will help you to implement it. It will not be about enlightenment or metaphysical topics. It will not be redundant to the LP course. Both courses will be useful on their own, and also synergize together. The new course is not "more up-to-date" because it simply covers different/new material. And the material covered in the LP course is timeless. It will still be useful 50 years from now. If you're following my free videos, you should also supplement them with more practical, less metaphysical teachings from other sources. Actualized's focus is big picture understanding of life, not so much about making you successful. There are tons of sources available for nitty-gritty success techniques and tips. I offer a bit of that, but it's not our main focus here because that ground has already been well-covered by others and because we seek a deeper level of development than success tips can offer.
  2. Well, I can't speak to that because I have no direct experience of such things and those are some bold claims.
  3. Just the exposure of Trumpism is already raising consciousness as Trumpism looks so ugly to most people that we as a culture will agree that it's not the right path forward. Of course there will always be some fanatics who refuse to change their mind, but mostly people see that Trumpism is not a workable way forward. Even his own supporters are starting to admit it. You can't deny the obvious forever. All that's necessary is to shine sunlight on devilry and it will start to dissolve. Trump's whole presidency is that process unfolding.
  4. All experience is a hallucination. It's just a matter of what kind of stuff you're hallucinating. The mind can be highly stable or highly unstable and everything in between. Highly stability does not make a hallucination any less a hallucination. It just creates a hallucination of stability and solidity. A brick wall is you hallucinating something solid and stable. Take a psychedelic and the brick wall will melt and morph. Then it will return back to solidity. Get shot in the head and the brick wall will cease to exist. Classical psychological hallucinations like psychosis are the result of a less stable mind which tends to play by a different set of rules than ordinary minds. It's more dream-like. More like being on a psychedelic 24/7 but often mixed with ego, fear, and confusion. It's not clear like awakening or meditation. Hence people can hallucinate demons and other things like that.
  5. We will still be covering practical topics in the future. A lot of topics remain related to emotional mastery and those will all be practical. Stuff on business and success too. Relationships too. Etc. I just have a big backlog of metaphysical and spiritual topics which I've been executing. It won't always be like that. I'm not going to keep rehashing old topics. There's always new stuff to talk about with at least 200 new topics planned. There will also be a new paid course, which will be the most practical of all. ETA for that is sometime within the next 5 months. So much work, so little time.
  6. AKA mindfulness That's what meditation and waking up is for.
  7. Of course it depends on what my goals are. If what I wanted was a serious relationship and he was actively doing pickup, then probably not. If he is at the point where he's already done a lot of pickup and got it out of his system and was willing to let it go, then that might be ideal. It's every girl's dream to lock down a stud. Girls hate the guy doing pickup but they love the end-results of pickup if they can lock the guy down at the end of it. Pickup refines the guy and makes him a stronger, more attractive man. Girls love that, but they don't want to know how the sausage was made. They want to assume he's a natural. It's like, "OMG! You're so good in bed! How did you get this way?" "Um... you don't wanna know." Like anything else in life, being attractive requires practice. Highly attractive people tend to have lots of practice. Don't be overly pessimistic. It depends on how you go about it. It's just that conscious relationships are rare and take work. But they can be done.
  8. Trump's strength is pure illusion. He's like the Wizard of Oz. People keep thinking he's strong because he got lucky and won once. If you're a betting man, bet on Trump's luck running out. Never bet against karma. It will catch up to him one of these years. He can't keep dodging it forever. What's amazing is how lucky he's been up to this point. But that won't hold up. In true poetic style he will end up hoisted by his own petard. It's foolish to bet on a devil prevailing over the truth in the long-run. A devil's victories are always short and fleeting.
  9. Treating others with the same respect you would treat your self. Selfless love.
  10. Visualization exercises every day is important for building up your confidence in biz. Visualize yourself being successful.
  11. It's important to keep in mind that all systems have parasites and exploiters. This is not a condemnation of government per se. It's a fundamental aspect of nature. Parasites have existed for a billion years and will continue to exist for a billion more. This is not a valid excuse to not create better and bigger systems. In fact, this is why better and bigger systems evolve. The better government gets the less parasites will be able to abuse it. Bigger government is important precisely because its size helps to protect it from large corporate parasites. Government must be larger than the corporations it governs, otherwise things get squirrely.
  12. You just want that third tit
  13. They will all turn into robots who sing karaoke
  14. First of all, solipsism is a conceptual scheme, a philosophical system. This is very different from actuality. In this sense solipsism is a fantasy whereas nonduality is actuality. Map vs territory. This is a HUGE difference. Don't underestimate this. Secondly, solipsism is not even a good map. It does not recognize the truth of no-self and the truth that you are God. Solipsism is still dualistic in that it denies the reality of others by upholding the reality of the ego-self. Nonduality makes a more radical move. It denies the reality of all individual selves, especially oneself. If other people are unreal, you as a person must also be unreal. If you are unreal, then what are you? Solipsism doesn't answer this ultimate question. The part that solipsism gets right is that ultimately you are all alone. But what are you? You are not a finite being, as solipsism assumes. But when you finally realize that you are an infinite being, you will also realize that you are both alone and together, because infinity includes all dualities. You are so ONE that you cannot even distinguish oneness from twoness! Unless you do
  15. Again, the difference between the two is imaginary. People are imaginary BUT, since everything is imaginary and there is nothing but imagination, people are in this sense as real as anything can be. From the Absolute perspective people are unreal. From from the relative perspective people can be spoken of as if they are real. When I interact with many of you, I treat you as if you are real because that's helpful for navigating the everyday world of human survival. It would not be appropriate for me to treat the guy at the grocery store as if he was a cartoon character. But from the Absolute perspective I know that I am the only one here. Yet I don't live from this perspective most of my day as I run chores and do ordinary survival activities. The illusion of other is very strong, even after some awakenings. It's easy to fall back into the illusion of otherness, especially when people behave like dicks.
  16. It doesn't make sense to you because you are interpreting what I say from a dualistic paradigm which assumes a self/other distinction. You are projecting your delusion of duality onto what I say. I am conscious that other users on here are simply projections of a universal mind. You are not conscious of this. So when I speak to others, I know am just speaking to myself, but you do not know that because your ego is in the way. Your ego will not even allow you to imagine what it would be like to realize that the self/other distinction is unreal. No matter who I address I am addressing you and I am addressing myself because you, me, and all beings are ONE! Everyone is the only being in the universe. It's like a massively multiplayer online game where one central server runs all the players. God's mind has fractured itself into a trillion pieces. Or it imagines it has. In truth, nothing is fractured because the distinction between fractured vs whole must itself collapse, leaving behind Absolute Unity. A Unity which has no opposite. The human mind cannot imagine such a Unity because it is too total to allow for a finite mind to exist in it. Within this Absolute Unity there is no difference between your human body, a chair, a kangaroo, a taco, or anything else. All of it blends into ONE. This is the Godhead. This is what you were before you were born as a human self.
  17. Psychedelics are of course imaginary, just like everything else. @Nivsch It doesn't make sense to you precisely because your worldview assumes there is an external physical reality. Once you drop that assumption, all the sudden psychedelics cease being physical objects and all of your objections fall away. My claim is not that everything is a hallucination except psychedelics. My claim is that everything is a hallucination, including psychedelics. Which means, when you eat a mushroom, you're not actually eating a physical substance, you're hallucinating eating a mushroom. There is no difference between a mushroom, a chair, a house, a tree, your body, your Mom, or Santa Claus. All of them are just different kinds of imagination. Taking psychedelics helps you to realize this. Yes, it's strange-loopy and paradoxical. As it must be since everything is ONE. So go hallucinate eating some mushrooms
  18. @Shaun It's very simple. If you are a student of nonduality you should know by now that nonduality means oneness. How can you pursue oneness while maintaining the notion of twoness (self vs other)? You are not conscious yet of the implications of ONENESS. It means... you know... that everything is ONE! Which means you are the only being in the universe. This does not contradict Rupert Spira. You're just not understanding yet the full implications of Spira's teachings. Don't confuse oneness or nondualty with solipsism. Solipsism is not radical enough to be true. And yet, you are all alone. Technically, the duality between aloneness vs togetherness collapses. But when this happens your ego will perceive it as solipsism. If you're not careful you will reject/deny this important insight of God's existential aloneness because you are so attached to the idea of there being others.
  19. By that logic we shouldn't teach kids that Africa or kangaroos exist. It's silly to demand that people visit Africa first-hand before you can talk to them about it. It's not useless. It's very important for people to know that they are God, even if only conceptually. The greater danger is falling into the belief that there is no God or that God is something other than you. You do not prevent false belief by staying silent about God and keeping a secret. How can you expect someone to visit Africa if no one tells them it exists to be visited? In this sense, talking about Africa is very useful. All great things begin with talk. Everything is a spectacle. God is a spectacle. To downplay the grandeur of God is deceptive and misleading.
  20. It's not misleading, it's simply what's true. Obviously claiming you're God is totally useless without the consciousness of it. Devils have misused spiritual truths for thousands of years and that's not about to change.
  21. Survival requires manipulation. You are a devil for good reason. It works!
  22. Dating and relationships are predicated upon manipulation. But pickup takes it to the next level. You can do pickup, the biggest thing to avoid there is the ideology which often comes with the activity. The problem is not so much that guys do pickup, it's that they develop a toxic masculine ideology to go with it.
  23. The problem with your reasoning is that it assumes a distinction between self/other, which is imaginary. What dies is the thing you imagined was real -- self or other. But that wasn't a real thing, it was an imagined boundary. For example, if the imaginary boundary between America and Canada stopped being imagined by all human minds, then America and Canada would both "die". But of course in truth nothing has died because it wasn't real to begin with. Things "die" when they stopped being imagined. Which means: if you stop imagining yourself, you will die.
