@Wyze Realize there is no other way it can be. Everything that happens is inevitable. Reality is perfect no matter how bad it may seem to the ego.

Nonduality includes duality within it. Therein lies the full circle. See image of ying-yang.

Absolutely Law of attraction baby. Whatever your heart most desires to know it will ultimately receive an answer to. And if you desire nothing you will get nothing. Metaphysical curiosity is a damn powerful force if you can cultivate it.

@youngshinzen See video: How To Contemplate Using a Journal That's one good way. But there are many ways! Like the Shamanic Breathing technique I shared in the Shamanic Breathing video. Or the yoga I shared in the The Important Of Real Yoga video. Or psychedelics. I've shared dozens of the best techniques with you. Psychedelics are the most powerful technique ever if you use them right. You could use them to deprogram all your viruses over time. All of the questions being asked in this thread could be answered with a couple of solid psychedelic trips. During a psychedelic trip you can literally communicate with the universe and ask it any questions you want, and you will get more reliable answers then from the best human gurus, because a human guru can only talk, not show you. A psychedelic can actually modify your field of consciousness to show you the answer.

Think of the mind like a computer hard drive. The hard drive can get loaded with all sorts of viruses and bad programs which then need to be uninstalled and defragmented. That is the function of therapeutic and self-help techniques. They make the computer run smoother. Obviously a computer doesn't need to have an "I" for this to happen. Neither does your brain/mind. Think of yourself as a malfunctioning robot:

Adding a "feature" tag to this thread because it has some really solid summaries. Great work!

It's a real thing and you can do it if you want. But if you do it in a repressive, neurotic, or egoic way, it will backfire on you. Sexual desires must be genuinely transcended through spiritual work. You cannot just suppress or deny them mechanically without expecting problems. Which is why many of these no-fap people and Catholic priests suffer & struggle so much. They are doing it dogmatically.

You're conflating types with stages. Regardless of your type (Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, masculine/feminine, etc) you can be at various stages of Spiral development. You can be a 5 Blue, 5 Orange, 5 Green, 5 Yellow, 5 Turquoise just like you can be a feminine Blue, feminine Orange, feminine Green, feminine Yellow, feminine Turquoise.

Sounds like a lot of folks in Toronto. I guess I'll have to pay it a visit. Although last time I traveled to Toronto the customs agent in the airport almost kicked me out of Canada for giving him lip.

@ULFBERHT I address this point in the LP course. The bottom line is, you will not have the perserverence to master a thing unless you enjoy doing it. There has to be an underlying love/passion/fascination. It just isn't always glaring when you start. Check out the LP course. It will change your life as far as building a career goes.

OneNote would be so much more efficient. The search functions and other features become essential as your notes grow. Try it! And you will never go back. OneNote is Microsoft's greatest software.

Greene going Green, lol.

@bejapuskas An enlightened person is not limited by any rules. He/she can enjoy all the comforts of life, including marriage.

@tashawoodfall I don't think there's much demand here. Although I could be wrong.

Pata pata pata PON!

If you notice, dreams commonly reveal your deep-seated fears. Especially if the same dream keeps happening over and over again. This is an opportunity for you to learn your lesson and resolve your fear. Then the dream will stop repeating and you will get more advanced dreams. Keep learning the lesson from each one until eventually you purify yourself of all your fears.

@7thLetter There will be a video announcement once the details have been figured out.

It's due to the academia part. Academia has its head up its own ass. To maintain its status as the arbiters of "truth", academia must dismiss everything non-academia as unscientific BS. Which itself is unscientific BS. This attitude is a cancer of the mind.

I've never had any knee pain in my life. Watch out for your fantasies, assumptions, and projections about me. Best not to talk about someone you don't know as if you know him. And it's a bad idea to do things on people without their permission. Be care with the New Age rabbit hole. It contains lots of potential for self-deception and delusion in the name of spirituality. Which is not to say Reiki doesn't work. Just don't get carried away into fantasy-land about it.

@Raider15 Yes, but your question is rather misleading because you are assuming consciousness is a thing. Pure consciousness is not a thing. It is blank, void, nothing. It is like the hole in your coffee cup. You're asking: "Can a pure hole exist without a coffee cup?" Yes, except it is then no longer a hole as you've always thought of it. It is just infinite emptiness.

The Absolute has no qualities, which is identical to it having all qualities. All qualities are qualities of the Absolute. So literally any quality you can think of is a quality of the Absolute. Which is precisely why nothing can be said of the Absolute because to say it has one quality but not another is to misrepresent it. It is infinite, finite, both, and neither. It is small, big, both, and neither. It is eternal, temporal, both, and neither. And so on down the line. Your mind cannot hold all of these qualities at once. For that, you would have to exit the mind and literally become the entire universe. Which is possible, but not within the realm of speech or conventional "knowledge." You'd have to leave those behind.

I'm looking for a fairly experienced web developer with good working knowledge of PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. And as a bonus, experience with Wordpress backend, shopping carts, and Paypal backend integration would be really nice. I have a few improvements that I want made to the Actualized.org website, like an improved search function, and we need to create a registration page for the upcoming Actualized tour -- which needs to be hooked up to Paypal payment processing and a custom database -- and some other additions to the shopping cart. This would be a part-time, semi-paid volunteer gig. You could add Actualized.org to your resume/portfolio. I could also give you free access to all current & future Actualized products/courses, or maybe even some one-on-one life coaching if you want. PM me if you're interested. Let me know what kind of experience you have and where you are located. I only need one person. Thanks!

That's gonna be true of most work environments. The search for Truth is the opposite of doing everyday work. Even the work I do for Actualized.org is counter-productive for seeking Truth. In fact, very much so. Because work is just not about that. Work is a survival function, which is the opposite of Truth. The biggest problem I see with programming is that it consigns you to sit at a computer terminal for 8 hours per day for 40 years. But then again, lots of work does that these days. I spend much of my time on a computer. So....

The ultimate mark of enlightenment is the humility it bestows.
