$200 is a regular office visit.

I've heard it all. Yawn...

I never said it was. Most things are 50/50. When in doubt, assume a thing is 50% genetic and 50% environment.

Pathetic.

Push is the key word. Reforms require pushing, even if you don't get what you want. It's a tug of war. How fast will the reforms come? I don't know. Slower than we'd like.

You can go to a sleep doctor and get a sleep study done. They will monitor your sleep and tell you if there are any problems happening. It costs about $1000 for sleep study.

How else could it be??

If you want to be a bum there is no normative argument against it. However, survival requires work no matter what. By choosing to be a bum you will suffer the consequences of that and so will society at large. Being creative and hard working is necessary to live in a beautiful world. Otherwise you live like a bum in a shithole. If you want to live in a shithole house, city, society -- okay, go ahead. But I will not be joining you. Having wealth means you are not a burden on others and you have the means to help others better their situations. A bum inevitably becomes a leech on others around him, leeching off their labor. So it is not an integrous way to live. I had a choice. I could have been a bum, or I could be creative and hard working and create Actualized.org. If I chose to be a bum then none of this would exist. Instead of helping people self-actualize I would have been a leech on others. It all comes down to the question of: How do you want to live? There are no objectively right or wrong answers to that question. But however you chose to live, there will be serious consequences.

The guy who made the game Stardew Valley earned over $100 million from that game. He made it himself. A good example of how to make $100M ethically. These kinds of opportunities exist if you are creative and hardworking.

Noun is the perfect term for Emptiness because it's the closest thing to a substance that is possible. Forms are verbs, formlessness is a noun. Of course that's just one way of looking at it. But there kind of is. It's not "behind", but Emptiness it the bedrock so to speak. There is the immanent and then the transcendent, the manifest and the unmanifest. Don't accuse me of dualism, these are just the limits of language.

@SimpleGuy There are phone apps that can measure if you snore. If you snore that needs to be corrected.

Could be many things, sleep apnea being a major one. Check for sleep apnea, check that you are breathing well and not snoring.

There is no boundary, but all form is still temporary. The only thing that never changes is Formless Emptiness.

Well, this is no different than a drug addiction. The problem is that if you keep feeding your addiction you become its slave, which creates needless suffering. How much can you rid yourself of all cravings? That's difficult to answer. It will vary a lot from person to person. No sex nor romance can last forever. They all end. Usually rather quickly. Eventually you will have to learn to live without romance because at some point you will get too old for it. How much should you indulge in it until then? There is no clear answer to that question. It all depends.

The only thing that's truly permanent is pure Emptiness. Everything else is imagined and not permanent. Forms are never permanent. You can dream something is eternal but that dream will eventually collapse back into pure Emptiness, which is so permanent and Eternal that you can't even think of it or imagine it because there is no form there. You can tell yourself that your marriage will last forever but that doesn't mean that it will.

No. All my income is from Actualized.

Bam!

I don't know. I don't keep consistent hours. I just work whenever I feel like it. Sometimes that's a lot, sometimes that's a little. Recording videos the the least part of my work.

This is a bad scarcity mindset. Wealth isn't bad, it's good. Just earn it through legitimate creative work rather than scams. You should have way more wealth than to pay your expenses. You should be so productive and creative that you earn millions. This means you've made yourself useful to the world.

I am designing a new kind of psychedelic group retreat. It is fully legal and will be held in Las Vegas. The purpose is not for fun but to do serious God-Realization with guidance from me. This is an experimental thing which is still in the planning stages. Who is interested?

No

I am not going to be creating any extra channels or doing any translated videos. I am busy enough as it is. If someone needs a translation, they can figure it out themselves.

Sure, but you gotta handle survival needs.

Yes, it's part of the broken blog. It will be fixed.

This is a catch-all thread for any comments or discussions you guys wanna have about any entries from Leo's Blog.
