You made my independent and valid critiques of the left into "dogmatic right wing views" I didn't do that. You did. You create it to be that if you call it that. To me, it's intuitive choice based off direct experience and years of observation and study. What about that is dogmatic? Thats the exact opposite of dogmatic. Thats thinking for yourself. Thats choice. Thats Consciousness. Thats Love.

Videos mostly on spirituality.

I did. I provided many valid points that have nothing to do with pedophilia. Look at my first post: I just pulled the "Joe is a Pedo" card because it's True, a lot of people here like to turn a blind eye to it, and a lot of people point fingers at Trump for much much less. So I wanted to see what was said if I directly pointed that out, and of course... ???

I create content and have a pretty big audience that supports me. I also run a freelancing business that helps brands and creators with online marketing.

No, calling Joe a pedo is not name calling - it's accurate. Look at the images above. And anyone that disagrees is lying to themselves. Normal healthy adults don't sniff and grope little girls. Period. And what is the point of a forum discussion anyways if an opposing viewpoint is shoved out and not seriously considered? Not one person here seriously considered my points - and yes - I couldve come off "more nice" but thats exactly the problem. Most of what I see on here is a majority of forum members sucking on the tit of this idea that "If I just blindly follow the left, I'm doing the evolved thing!" why? "bEcaUse SpIraL DynAmicS SayS So!" Which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of thinking for yourself... But whatever. I yield. I wasn't trying to start an argument, Just trying to understand why the towns I visited on the coast were so destroyed under democrat leadership, given its "more evolved"... And if anyone has an answer, I'd love to hear you explain why most progressive run towns/cities are basically warzones.

Yes and those systemic solutions would probably involve not letting our border being invaded by thousands of undocumented immigrants and not donating billions to a foreign war when our own layperson is struggling to afford a apartment, yes? This is a topic for who will be the next president of the United States. It is definitely warranted in this discussion. Plus, I'm one of the very few people on this forum that can consciously stand behind a more right-leaning worldview. Maybe it's good I share my perspective eh? Don't want you guys to get lost too deep in a progressive echo-chamber

@Leo Gura Thanks for curving my response. And I'm aware. They all have their dark side. Nobody is perfect. which is why I said: I'd rather have a cognitively healthy pedophile for a president than a senile one who can't remember his own name.

Oh I forgot.. It's totally normal and healthy to grope and sniff little girls hairs as a 70+ year old man. Totally nothing suspicious about that at all! Forgive me for committing the first cardinal sin of the forum which is: pointing out the obvious devilry of the left. LOL. I'm not a pedophile, and I don't know any, but If I had to guess - this is how they would act. Unable to control impulses around what they crave most. How does nobody else on the forum take this seriously? It's like you all love to blame and point fingers at Trump but when someone says to look at Biden in the same lens all I hear is crickets from this forum. The Bias is deep.

@Godhead The thing is, it's hard to not be react (which literally means to respond or behave in a particular way in response to something) when you encounter such profound levels of poverty and crime within your own country, towns, and counties. I went outside last month and saw the current state of the country first hand. Thats why I'm reactive. And you know what - Hell Yes! I'd rather be that than another brainless sheep just unconsciously following the noise of the left and not thinking for themselves.

I have thought long and hard. I have watched the country over the past 5 years. I have taken Leos considerations carefully. But at the end of the day, why would I yield my Truth and Intuition? Why would I yield my direct experience of the MASSIVE poverty, crime, and homelessness in every democratically run city I visit when I do go outside? That is one of the MANY VALID points I have offered here that you aren't acknowledging. So who lacks the genuine understanding and capacity for political analysis? You literally just told me to leave and won't acknowledge any of my critiques.

I just referenced the sad and disgusting state of the Northern California and Southern Oregon coastal towns I visited last month, which are all heavily run and maintained by democrats. We have been told by Leo for decades now that progressives are more evolved - and that sounds great - but if true, why are these towns destroyed? Why has it been that every Blue state I visit is an absolute sh*thole of poverty, crime, and homelessness?

Anyone would be better than the two choices we have now, but in my honest opinion, Trump is 10x better than the absolute disgrace of a president we have now, who definitely has dementia and is most likely a pedophile. The fact that we are allowing him to continue to make executive decisions and don't have in place some standard of cognitive health and mental performance that our President absolutely has to pass is insane to me. I mean this guy has access to Nukes, and he shakes hands with ghosts after he gives speeches NOBODY can understand! We are the laughing stock of the world right now, and it's only strengthening foreign relations like Putin and Xi Jinping, as well as China with Saudia Arabia and Iran - which will lead to the world leaders in oil to possibly making the switch from the USD to a new currency. I don't understand how anyone could want to re-elect a president that completely blew the withdrawal from Afghanistan, is actively sending billions of dollars to Ukraine to fuel a foreign war that the US will only profit from, now giving illegal migrants brand new iPhones with court dates 5 years out - while our own populations of homeless military veterans with no help of this kind continue to rise, and normal everyday people like myself face increasingly difficult living standards? At least with Trump I could fill up my truck for less than $100 and buy eggs for less than $7. It's insanity to me, and I know a majority of people I've interacted with recently feel the same way. Trump is by no means the highest potential of who we could elect for president, but out of the two evils - thats who my intuition tells me to go with. I've seen and experienced to much insanity from the left to feel safe giving them a vote to continue running things how they are. I mean just visit Seattle or any California Coastal town. These places are nightmares and warzones underneath democratic leadership. I just visited the Northern California and southern Oregon coast about a month ago and my direct experience of these places is: HOLY SH*T! What an absolute nightmare of poverty.

Yes I absolutely agree! Thank you for sharing

I love that. I feel the exact same way.

Found this mini documentary that came out a few months ago and thought I would share it here. Really interesting to see these guys now and what they think / feel about their time overseas:

That too

@KGrimes I feel like that was a pretty spot on answer. What more is there to say?

I've followed Leo for around 7 years from the age of 16 to now 23, and by far the most profound awakenings I've had from being apart of this community and seriously pursuing the path is Love. Nothing comes even remotely close to that Love I've encountered as a direct result of actualized.org and Leo's work. So for me, thats the essence. But of course, its completely relative

I think shutting it down temporarily and putting in proper safeguards are really all the best we can do, other than that, tech bros and millionaires looking to profit more and more will not stop until they get their Ai, so there is no point in trying to stop that market and growth imo.

I would be learning how to use Ai to create websites. Thats where it's going. They already have tools that can take a photo of a website you like and instantly recreate it. Not sure what its name was, but I know its out there. If you learned that well, I would go to Upwork and start submitting proposals for website design.

Yes yes I agree. I understand I am imagining all the awakenings of others including you on a meta level. I get that. You've helped me understand that through your content, so thank you. But by the same logic wouldn't the whole point of you posting a thread saying "I am the most awake" also be a trap? And can we not objectively and accurately pinpoint a beings level of consciousness within this 3D realm? I mean you've been doing It this whole thread to Buddhists and NonDualists, so why not their founders? I'm not trying to argue. I'm just genuinely curious. I guess I just don't understand the "WHY" for why you started the thread. Is it to teach us how to accurately pinpoint if a person, teacher, or teaching is actually Awake? Is it just to warn us? Or is it just to remind us how deluded we are? ? Either way, I feel like I'm missing something here.

From what you know of Jesus, where do you rank him with his consciousness? Do you think he reached the same level of God Consciousness you have? What about Ramana Maharshi or Siddhartha Gautama?

Even though there is a lot of disagreement on this thread, myself included - I actually think this thread turned out net positive for most of us, and there are two things we can all agree on: 1. There is no one standard "Awakening" or "Enlightenment" you can have. It's a broad spectrum with many facets, degrees, and depths. The Awakening you've experienced may be similar to others, but most likely won't be the exact same. There will be differences. And, 2. You have to take Absolute Responsibly over the Sovereignty of your mind / consciousness. If you don't, there is no chance of you discovering the Truth for yourself. Whatever that Truth may be.

Obviously I'm not actually doing that. I was speaking poetically with my comment, as if I was a voice for all of us who have been following Leo for 5+ years. Nothing. I was addressing this community and forum specifically in that quote.

I grant you your Awakeness, but why not mine? How can you take away the certainty that Mystical Experiences and Awakenings give me? How can you take away the Sovereignty that I know? You can't. Nobody can. Because Truth is Absolute. And when you taste Truth, you know Truth. It doesn't matter who tells you that you aren't awake. Am I open to more? Yes. Of course. Why would I not be? But that doesn't mean that the incredibly magical, utterly mind-blowing, and completely paradigm shattering Truths and Mystical States I've encountered aren't that Awakeness too. Thats literally what it is. It's just sad because Leo and this forum have been a MASSIVE aide in reaching those states of consciousness, but they seem to never be "enough" in the eyes of this community. What happened to the pure joy of Pursuing Spirit and higher levels of consciousness for its own sake? When did Actualized.org turn in to a Nonduality War of being right and everyone else being wrong? What happened to all the old vibes of discovering and exploring this uncharted territory as if we were pioneers on the edge of something incredible? Why did we have to reach the end and start fighting about it? I just don't get this statement of saying nobody else here is Awake. I don't see how it's productive or helps the health and consciousness of this forum at all. I consider many people on this forum some of the most Conscious and Awake beings I've ever interacted with, myself included. I feel like there should be more of a focus on community and exploring Consciousness together instead of constantly debating who's more Awake. I feel like there should be more of a focus on Love.
