So interesting. Dubstep wasn't even a thing when I was 9.

Spirituality is not about acting a certain way. We often come to spirituality to heal and grow, so it makes sense it would attract people who want to do those things.

I followed actualized.org for a few years before realizing women's teachings can be quite different. Now, I find myself really diving into exploring relationships, devotional practices, getting in touch with my body and what it means to be a feminine being. I wouldn't say harder. It's challenging but lights me up with excitement to figure out. Part of my process has been learning about how not to be needy while still putting myself out there to explore a wide range of relationships. I dont think that women or men have any less work to do than each other, but in my experience it has been a different journey than what a man may go through.

Are you using an oregano essential oil or oil of oregano? Essential oils are very strong. I'm sure you're fine but I wouldn't keep using it in your mouth like that even though you're not swallowing. Oil of oregano is less concentrated and in that case I think it's safe to use a diluted solution as mouthwash.

@EntheogenTruthSeeker very very small steps over time are key. I'm talking really fucking small. Like instead of 14 hours on tiktok you spend 13. Or you meditate for literally one minute. Or write just one word in your journal. Anything that feels doable to you. Take it really really easy and do not shame yourself. That doesn't help and actually makes things worse. Give yourself permission to go slow. You don't have to do it all at once.

Adam and Eve were living in perfect paradise until one day they sinned and fell from God's graces. Do you think this is a metaphor for something in life or human history? I've wondered if it has anything to do with humans seeming separate from the rest of nature.

Ok that makes a lot of sense

Thats a good idea, had not thought of that. So why is it a sin to eat from that tree and why would it create a "fall"?

I am curious about the types of psychedelics forum users have experimented with. The answers are anonymous!

I take offense to this hahahaha. You're absolutely right though. I've only caught glimpses.

@Endangered-EGO ok gotcha.

You don't think? I mean it does make me feel more connected. Yea, how is that different from my imagination?

Just be aware that you might feel depressed while listening to the Theories of Everything podcast with Leo. It's earth shattering to hear these teachings. And we know this, but I just want to remind.

I'm glad you said that

Yea it's like go ahead and blast my world open.

Am I the only one? Jeeze I must be projecting... I got 20 minutes in and everything started to collapse and I started to wonder why I still listen to actualized.org and now I'm crying.

@The0Self no way!! Totally not what I pictured lol

This is what makes Actualized.org so unique and powerful and why Leo is one of the greatest minds of his generation. I know of no other people who have any online presence that create such consistently quality, in depth work. It doesn't matter if the watcher doesn't agree with the substance of Leo's teachings, the thought, dedication and care that Leo puts into them is apparent.

Fucking yes. Strength doesn't mean he's a piece of shit. And yea, a woman needs to be aware and not fall in love with a straight up asshole.

Pure status doesn't matter, it's what it takes to get there (putting yourself out there, having a purpose, knowing what you want, taking action).

I had a meditation teacher who I thought was a lesbian because she emanated masc vibes but was actually married to a guy. Simply put, feminine energy is attracted to leadership. It doesn't have to be "status".

Status doesn't have to mean social status or wealth in a corporate America way. It could pertain to being a top yoga teacher, a really talented musician or someone running a conscious business.

When you mix orange and green. Reusable straws in plastic packaging. This would be less of a problem if people bought this and then never bought a reusable straw again, but that won't happen. Most of these will end up in the trash in a year lol.

Welcome to the spiritual path. My advice is to stick with it. It may seem at times like your whole world has turned upside down and you may question why you got involved in the first place, but it can be a very rich and fulfilling journey.

I used to think life becomes easy once you start living your dreams. But now I can hardly handle the fact that I'm actually doing it. Life can be so rich. Don't waste anymore time.
