It doesn't matter what works for other people. What matters is what works for you. Cut your dose in half. Test that and see. You should be close to good there. This work is not about high doses. The number is irrelevant. What matters is the depth of your consciousness and how much you can handle. All my doses are modest, yet I have reached levels of consciousness that would terrify Satan. -
It's possible but you gotta be serious about it. You should act fast.

Good, but you're still so far from the ultimate God-realization. This was just a baby encounter with God. God is you! But it will take you many more trips to realize and fully accept that. Keep tripping, carefully. You don't need to wait a whole year to face your resistance. Give yourself time to integrate but also don't waste time in avoidance and fear. Fear has to be faced. Reaching the ultimate levels of awakening will involve facing lots of fear, over and over again. -
Yes you should as long as you find them attractive. Personally I don't approach girls over 5'10" because I'm not attracted to that. Never don't approach a hot girl because you think you're too short for her to want to sleep with you. That's pure bullshit. If you approach a lot of tall girls, you'll see that many of them will get attracted to you and will be willing to date and sleep with you. Not always, but enough that its worth it. You don't need every tall girl to like you. Even 5% would be more than enough for you. Not approaching because she is 1-2 inches taller than you? This is just laughable. Stop being a pussy and approach! Maybe if she was a foot taller than you, your logic might make more sense.

It's no surprise that psychologically dysfunctional people with poor judgment will not have the wisdom necessary to enroll in and complete a course of therapy. These people usually spend their whole lives avoiding facing truth and their emotional wounds/trauma. Also therapy is expensive and tedious. It requires work. Most people who are depressed or suicidal will not want to do that work. The paradox of therapy is that the people who need it the most are usually the sort who are least interested in doing it and also cannot afford it. In general I would guess that a person who kills himself would probably have kill himself at some point in life, and that no one thing anyone says or does to him is the cause of the suicide. Suicidal people usually have a long history of suicidal ideation and attempts. They don't just wake up one day, watch a few bad advice videos, and then decide to kill themselves. If one thing doesn't push them over the edge, another thing will. There can be hundreds of things that could push them over the edge simply because they are already teetering on the edge anyways. I mean this Reckful dude said he tried to kill himself when he was 16 because his favorite MMORPG video game lost users to WoW. If this is not dumb then I don't know what is. A person that fragile will not be able to handle the ups and down of life. Life will hit you with downs pretty hard sometimes. You gotta be willing to handle them. And you can't depend on someone to babysit you through each one. Bottom line is, you need to develop a thick skin to survive life. -
Yes, but the man needs to have his sexual needs met. In other words you can have a bunch of platonic female friends as long as you got at least one girl who you're sleeping with and happy with. But if you are starved for sex you can't just have female friends because you will start acting too weird and needy with them and ruin the friendships. So start by getting yourself laid. Then you can build up a circle of platonic female friends if you want. And it would be a good idea to do so because they can introduce you to more hot girls.

I would consider it mature and silly if a deeply awakened person owned 3 homes and 5 cars. I would not do that myself. But in the end if some awakened dude wants 5 sports cars, it's not gonna change the fact that he's awake. Maybe he like to collect cars because he thinks they are beautiful works of art, or whatever. Obviously it could also just be remnant vanity. You can define yours terms however you want, but when I speak of awakening I'm speaking of a very specific sort of shift in consciousness. I am not speaking of some general path of spiritual evolution or growth. Awakening happens within seconds or minutes as your consciousness expands into a new state. It does not take years. So I would distinguish an awakening vs a path of gradual spiritual development and growth. You can have one without the other, or both. I don't agree that there is such a thing as collective awakening at all. There is only YOUR awakening. You can speak figuratively of mankind's awakening, but this is not at all the same as individual awakening that I talk about. This is a very dangerous assumption. I would not believe in something so naive. Dealing effectively with collectives is a deep skill set which requires specific experience and training. You can experience a visceral sense of collective as self, but this will not automatically give you great social skills or the systems thinking necessary to deal well with collective issues. Collectives also always mean politics, and navigating politics is a deep skill too. Awakening will not make you a great politician automatically. -

Nothing was taken down. I just logged into Vimeo and they said my account was disable due to over-use of bandwidth. This is very strange because Vimeo has no explicit bandwidth usage caps and my videos have not been using bandwidth any more than usual. I am working with Vimeo to sort this out. Please be patient and avoid gossip and speculation. I intend for all the videos to be available as soon as possible. Some of the Life Purpose Course videos will be unavailable during this time. Please be patient. They cannot be made available until I sort this out with Vimeo customer support. I'm hoping this will be resolved within a few days. But this is my first time hearing of such an issue so I don't know how long it will take to resolve. My latest video will remain up. Everything I said in it still holds (sorry to disappoint you). Keep calm and carry on. -

You guys need to calm down. Nahm has not been banned. -
1) Just bite the bullet and go sober forever from now on. Learn to pump up your own state. This is doable. 2) Replace all that shit with DMT vape pen. 3) Combo of both, cycling. I've never had a single drink while gaming. Never done cocaine although I've been offered it. Never done weed although I've been offered it. I've even been offered ketamine. One of my wings goes to Zedd's after parties where they pass around trays of cocaine. But his morals are such that he doesn't do any drugs ever. And everyone there knows that. So when the cocaine tray is passed around the table they just skip over him out of respect. All you gotta do is set clear boundaries. If someone questions you why, you tell them it's against your morals.

You pull to the biggest and closest place. So ideally a place with 2 beds. You never split a set of girls who are close friends, they will refuse it. Just pull them both. Pulling 3 girls with 2 guys is gonna be very challenging. You basically need one of them to drop off, leave, or fall asleep. Or you can try to grab a random guy to join you two. Or you can even call a wing to come join. Once you got a contact list of local wings, you can text them and say, "We got an extra girl who needs company. Come to my place." Another thing that's possible is you pull all 3 girls to your place for an after party. As you party with them and have fun, you take your girl by the hand and lead her to the bathroom and go quick sex there. This is a good option when there's just no way to properly isolate. Just make sure she don't regret sex with you. Make sure she wants it. Another good option is to party with them till the dead of night, till everyone is dead tired and start going to bed. Then just follow your girl into her bed. Often her friends could fall asleep early, giving you privacy with your girl. You could also take her to have sex in your car if you got one. Or even outside in some dark alley. One of my old wings literally fucked a girl in Austin under a bridge. You gotta be creative. Again, make sure she's into it. I've had wings fuck girls in restrooms, parking lots, cars, bridges, rooftops, ice rooms, and even in the middle of the dance floor at the club. You can even fuck in an elevator. The other option with a 3-set is do it solo so the other 2 girls can entertain themselves while you eventually walk off with your girl at the very end of the night. You just stick around with them an be social until your girls to bed and you follow her into her bed. - - - - Just keep looking for better wings. Yeah, sometimes wings can be very immature or inept. But you will eventually find great wings, especially in a place like Toronto. A great way to find wings is to attend an RSD Free Tour event when it comes to your town. The best wings tend to show up to those.

But Dr K is even open to mushrooms. I heard him recommending it as a possible method of healing. So it's not like Dr K was even anti-psychedelics. Perhaps, but also therapists and coaches are human and they make errors in judgment sometimes. Overall I find Dr K to be professional, empathetic, and careful when speaking to people. He doesn't just mouth off, he is careful and intelligent in framing his coaching questions. Yes, but on the other hand there is no cure for stupidity. Life demands having a good head on one's shoulders, otherwise shit like this happens. A grown adult ultimately has to be able to make judgment calls for himself, even if employing the use of experts and advisors. You are the CEO of your life. If a doctor tells you to take a pill, you can't just blindly take it. You gotta do your own research and make sure that pill won't kill you. But if an individual is so far gone that he cannot make basic rational decisions, in the end no one can save him from that. Even if Dr K babysat him for 2 years, he still probably would have killed himself because the issue is lack of good judgment. His family even had a history of that, so clearly this was a very deep-seated issue that I doubt even a year of therapy would solve. -
For the last 60 years. Well, California alone cannot solve the problems of capitalism. California isn't pure Green, it's more like Orange-Green. Relative to other states immigrants are much more welcome in Cali. Cali literally has safe harbor cities. Of course under capitalism immigrants are not going to be treated fairly economically. But then again, they are still much better off in Cali than in Mexico and Central America. Yeah, well, LA is a very Orange-Green town. More Orange than Green. If you want more hippie Green vibes, check out Oregon.

I regret to inform you guys that I made the decision to demote Nahm from being a Mod. Since he is one of the biggest members of this community I know plenty of you may be upset by this, so here's my explanation: I have noticed over the last few years that Nahm's posts/advices were becoming more and more out of touch with people. Like he was talking at them or through them, not meeting people at the level they were at. Often his posts were cryptic and ambiguous to the point of confusion. I made several private messages to him about this over a year ago, hoping that he would see the problem and correct it. His posts and replies were becoming so out of touch at times that even I had trouble understanding him. It felt more and more like he was communicate from inside his own spiritual bubble, unable to see how his posts were failing to land with normal people, or even myself. Often I would read one of his posts and just have no idea what he was trying to say or how it would help. And if I fail to understand a post, I know 90%+ of others will not understand it or be helped by it. This failure to understand is not from lack of consciousness but from the style in which Nahm chooses to express himself. The issue isn't that Nahm is not a developed or conscious guy, but the obscure and nonsensical way he communicates. I turned I blind eye to this for several years, hoping it would correct itself naturally. Unfortunately it has gotten worse. The parroting of neo-Advaita platitudes in response to people's relative questions and problems has become too much, especially recently. When I explained this problem to Nahm via PM and tried to communicate with him about correcting it, he started to spout those same vapid neo-Advaita platitudes at me. This is not the kind of communication I can stomach from my Mods. It also became clear to me that he was not interested nor capable of changing his ways. Nor do I want to force him to change his ways if he doesn't do so of his own recognizance. The issue here being that platitudes such as "there is no you" or "that is just a thought" do not help people and in fact start to do the opposite. I do not like neo-Advaita style teachings and I do not want this forum to turn into the kind of place where some normie asks a straight forward question and the response is something like, "There is no you, that's just a thought, there is no one to awaken." These kinds of teachings do not lead to the God-realization I am trying to guide people towards. With that said, I have no personal ill feelings towards Nahm. He's got many wonderful qualities, most of all is his big heart. I have met him in-person and he's a great guy to hang out with. I know he's coming from good intentions, but his style of teaching nonduality simply does not align with what I am trying to teach about God-realization and the future direction of Actualized.org teachings about awakening. I know many of you love Nahm and I know he has helped many of you in various ways. I appreciate that and his service to this community since the forum's inception back in 2016. Unfortunately he can longer be a Mod and the situation may devolve to the point where I have to ask him to leave this forum entirely because he keeps parroting the same neo-Advaita platitudes in every situation and I don't know how much more of that I can tolerate. Honestly, I've been tolerating it for months already. I tried to turn a blind eye to it because he has a long history here, he's helped many people here, I consider him a friend, and many of you guys look up to him. But it's just clear to me that this is not going to work out long term because our styles are so different. What he teaches is not what I teach. And I am okay with that to some degree -- not everyone has to agree with me or teach spirituality like me -- but the vacuous neo-Advaita talk has become too much recently. This is a great example of the problem of conflating relative and absolute matters to the point of disconnect with the normal people. When a store clerk asks you to pay the bill, the proper response is not, "There is no one who can pay the bill, and no bill to pay." I know some will be upset by this and will disagree with my decision here. So, whatever your feelings are about this situation -- good or bad -- share them here or forever hold your peace. We will not be able to move on from this until the air has been cleared. So take the time to do that now. I'm sorry it has come to this. I wish Nahm the best. Nahm, I sincerely thank you for your years of service to this community. Really. You put in so much of your heart into this. And we all saw that. Attached is a screenshot of my last communication with Nahm on this matter so that you understand why I made the decision I did: https://i.imgur.com/3WKAELm.jpeg This was not a decision I wanted to make. Note: do not attack each other over this.

I am not going to answering any of your questions about "Who is awake to what degree?" Context matters. I only say that when you guys pester me with distracting questions, like ranking your favorite gurus. This is a fools pursuit, so stop going there. I am not going to be ranking your gurus for you. As far as I'm concerned they don't even exist but images in your mind designed to keep you asleep. You need to realize that you are fantasizing the awakenings of other people. Forget about their awakenings. Focus on yours. -

Thanks for the feedback. Keep doing the work. I would write a book, but who is there to read it?

Well, you see... there is no difference between anything. At all. Like, at all.... That is awakening. -
LA isn't failing. What are you smoking? Homeless in LA exist because the weather is nice, because house prices are crazy (from success), and because of capitalism. California is the most successful state by far. It could be its own country it's so successful. What's failing is West Virginia & Alabama.

Dude, Toronto is one of the top cities in the world for game. So none of your BS excuses. You can find tons of wings and you can also game solo. But solo is very hard to start with so look for wings. Fuck your values for now. You don't need these wings to be your spiritual gurus. Their only purpose right now is to get you laid. Later you can be more picky. The dude from HonestSignalz YT channel is from Toronto. Watch him game. You are not going to find enlightened wings. PUAs are all around stage Orange and they are obsessed with one thing: getting laid. Which is what you need right now.

Yeah but that's not a good enough reason to kill oneself. You don't need Dr K to tell you to restart your mushrooms if you are feeling like shit without them. This isn't rocket science. People don't just kill themselves on a whim or because someone said one wrong thing. You know how much bad advice I've gotten from doctors? You don't see me killing myself over it. A licensed doctor can give you really shitty advice. So what? You gotta use your head. No license or ethics board will save you from bad advice. -
