@kamill Videos and courses will be much better than books for this purpose. Better yet, consider hiring a dating coach or taking a bootcamp. Getting good a dating is extremely hands-on. You cannot learn it as a theory. None of the theory translates into real life. You need massive field experience. 50 parts experience to 1 part theory. Otherwise no results. For cold approach to work you need to be doing 100s of approaches each month. At least until you develop some skill. Then you can ease up.

@Waves What is my highest vision for myself? What does my soul crave to express? Good luck

I would expect that most people following Actualized.org are in the first two phases, as you're lost and looking for answers and direction. People in the 3rd phase are probably too busy to watch self-help videos.

That is a goal when you're on a retreat with the intention of breaking through into deep states of samadhi. But outside of that life must go on, and in fact you will need advanced types of thinking to act effectively in the world and help the world to awaken. Be careful not to denigrate the mind. The mind is an important tool. Acting mindlessly will result in foolishness. The trick is not to identify with your thinking and the conclusions of your thinking. Most people think about stuff and then they turn the end result of that into an identity.

That ego voice gets recontextualized as the voice of God. That's God talking to itself! The voice does not need to disappear. Thoughts serve a very useful function. The goal is not to stop thoughts but to realize that thoughts are not your only identity. And to get peace from your thoughts when you desire it. The average person gets carried away by her thoughts, totally lost in them. An awake person still has thoughts but isn't dominated by them. Be careful not to demonize thoughts, or judge thoughts as bad. Also be careful not to adopt an anti-intellectual form of spirituality, where advanced forms of thinking about the world are dismissed and denied. For example, systems thinking is still very important for resolving world problems and actualizing God's Goodness. Living in a cave is not a sustainable solution to world problems. Spirit and intellect must be integrated. Your thought process must become multi-dimensional and suffused with spirit rather than suppressed. Thoughts are really only a problem when they are egoistical thoughts: thoughts of selfishness, manipulation, fear, judgment, rationalization, criticism, blaming, greed, lying, jealousy, denial, etc. Purify your thoughts of all that toxic stuff.

@The Blind Sage I have given the reason: I am busy with more important things. Stick to 5-MeO-DMT. It's all you really need.

@paciucr No

"Understanding Nothingness"

It failed again. This video is too woke for Youtube to process.

If we look at this using the metaphor of human schooling: K-12 and university. You have just completed 1 year of preschool. Congratulations!

What do you mean what is this? It is growth. What did you expect? 2 steps forward 1 step back.

500mg is a good starting amount. That's like 5 full doses. 30 doses is A LOT!

Alan Watts is rated just right.

@ElvisN Be careful! You're asking for trouble.

100mg is not really enough to work with. That's like equivalent to 1-2 doses, but you will probably waste a few doses just testing and perfecting your vape method. You'll need more substance to do this properly, with multiple ramped up doses. It would be foolish to vape 100mg straight up. You'll want to build up to that gradually. It must be vaped.

@Yellow_Girl Sounds like you have yet to discover God and truly spiritual living. Enough reading books! You must now actually do the inner work. Books are NOT inner work. Try some psychedelics and go visit some spiritual communities. There are many spiritual communities around if you just search. Yes, people get caught in their beliefs. But so do you. You're not out of the woods yet. Now you must move beyond the mind. Now the real work begins. It is the nature of this work that few people will understand you. But you can make a handful of friends who will be at your level.

@jim123 You are clearly dogmatic and closedminded. So nothing more can be done to help. When you are ready to admit that everything you've be taught was a lie, then come back and let's talk. You have no interest in Truth. You are interested in defending your preexisting position. That won't cut it if you want to realize God.

@Mezanti Who is having this problem?

I don't get much bodyload

@Preetom Lol It's not an alien idea. YOU ARE GOD! YOU! YOU! YOU! Try some LSD and you'll get it. It doesn't have to be hard. We have the tools to make this process easy. They're worth using.

@Conrad Very good

5-MeO is the most direct path towards God-realization. No other method is as fast or as clinically precise. 15 mins is all it takes. The trick is handling it.

It's hard to say because there are not just two experiences (psychedelic vs meditative) there are literally hundreds of different mystical experiences, states, insights, and realizations, and with various degrees of depth and breadth. The mystical terrain is sprawling. No one man has seen it all. The 5 blind men and the elephant is an important metaphor here. Psychedelic experiences can be weak or deep. Meditative satori can be weak or deep. It all depends on how you're doing it.
