Notice that you merely assume that. -
Leo Gura replied to Theplay's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Don't make this into rocket science. You are conscious right now. That's Consciousness. It's not some outlandish mystical thing. You have a direct felt sense of consciousness at all times. If you just focus on that you will be as close as possible to Consciousness & God. You don't need any guru to tell you that you are conscious right now. You have a clearer sense of your own consciousness than you do your own asshole. -
Seems like Tate was also involved in money laundering from other illegal businesses. We may soon find out what other illegal sources of income he had. Perhaps drug-dealing or something else.

Pretty much. But it's not just that. Lots of contemplation and integration work between awakenings. All the work basically boils down to thousands of hours of contemplation and self-reflection. You have to carefully think through all your mystical experiences.

There are many degrees of consciousness within the dream. -

It's not just a word. If you aren't crystal clear what specifically consciousness is, you aren't Awake. No other term will do. CONSCIOUSNESS is all you have. You can parrot all the equations you want, but that doesn't mean you are conscious of what consciousness is. -

Don't invent problems where there aren't any. If you feel healthy, that's good enough. Continue on with your work and personal development. If you have specific health dysfunctions, then work on those.

Not if you work from home.

The only way to get hair where there ain't any, is to plant it there. No chemical is gonna cause a plant to grow where there were no seeds planted in the ground. Hair is not magic, it needs a root.

I've done both. Yes, malic acid is the right choice. Drinking that much apple juice is absurd. Needless calories. Drinking malic acid is really hard because it's sour as fuck. Disgustingly sour! Take it in capsules.

I've had a lot of experience with dentists. Here's the bottom line: 1) Visit 5-10 dentists and find one who you like/respect. Only visit dentists who get 4/5 star reviews. And don't do business with the busiest dentists who have 500+ reviews. Once a dentist is that popular/busy, they start to get overworked and sloppy. Find dentists who have 4/5 star reviews but not too many, so they are hungry for business and don't take you for granted. Once they have 500+ reviews they will stop caring about you and start treating you like a cog in a machine. And make sure there is only 1 dentist you're dealing with, not a bunch of them in one office who substitute in for each other. You must deal with 1 guy who you hold responsible from beginning to end. Know your dentist by name and make sure he knows you. 2) Never just take their word for anything. Anything they recommend to you, first you ask them for an itemized price list printed out on paper, then you tell them that you will take a few days to think it about. Never make any purchase decisions while you're sitting in the dentist's chair. 3) Don't be afraid to boss them around and tell them what you want. Make them listen to you. They work for you, not the other way around. If your dentist is not willing to listen to you, axe him. When shopping for dentists, ask him questions to test whether he is the kind of person who will listen to you, or the kind who only does what he wants to do. Also observe how distracted he is and how hurried he is. If he is distracted or hurried, running around between multiple patients, don't work with him. The key is to find an honest, hard-working, patient dentist who hasn't yet turned his practice into a factory machine. Follow these simple laws and you should have great results.

Just cause you love a girl does not mean you gotta have her in your house every day. This is not healthy. I love ice cream but I don't eat it every morning. And if I did I would get sick of it. If you like a girl, create space for the chemistry to recharge. It's like you're draining a battery and never giving it time to recharge. Not to mention that as a man you got other things to be doing than babysitting your girl. You need space to work on your life purpose and she should have something she's working on too, not just middling around your house. Obviously do whatever you want, but I would urge you to think about how you might be shooting yourself in the foot by unconsciously following the "normal" path without thinking it through. Why do you need a girl living in your house? Think about it. Is that really wise?

I got friends who sleep with girls with boyfriends all the time. I think it's gross, but girls will certainly do it if you lead them. If you start talking about it explicitly it will not work. This situation is a good test of your character. Let's what kind of man you are.

You come here and spew your bias without any sign of self-awareness. I am not explaining anything to you because you are so biased you are beyond my help. This forum is not a place to spew political bias. We are here to attempt a Tier 2, meta-perspective on politics. If you are unable to do that then eventually I will kick you out of here because you do not deserve to pollute the entire politics sub-forum with your unconsciousness. It's not about you, it's about maintaining a clean space for others who want to discuss politics without the typical partisan noise found elsewhere on the internet. If you post like an unhinged extremist you will not be welcomed here. This is not a zone where all political opinions are held on equal footing. You need to have a certain level of development and self-awareness to deserve to discuss meta-politics with us because we are not interested in rehashing the same unconscious trash discussions found everywhere else online. If you want to be part of the Actualized community, get with the program. We have certain values here that require some observance. No one is asking you to be perfect, but at least demonstrate some capacity for objectivity, openmindedness, and self-reflection. -
Lol The definition of Toxic Masculinity and also Narcissism. Trump, Kanye, Tate -- these 3 are competing for world's biggest narcissist award.

Yup That was Awakening. Try to see it as a positive thing.

@Someone here It's good that you are so curious. But rather than me filling your head with words, how about you leverage that curiosity to actually directly discover and experience the answers for yourself? -
If you're gonna live with a girl I'll tell you this right now: You are never Awakening.

@mr_engineer If you continue to spread political nonsense, you will be banned from this sub-forum. Do not mistake this place for Reddit. -
