artificial insemination, and genetic modification is not as cool as you would think, you can't just clone stuff, only on things that are very specific, and even then, there's no guarantee. I know because I've been exposed to it as part of my degree. And people walked on the moon all the way back in 1969, genetic modification has only recently been a thing. Besides, we underestimate how weird and how different aliens can be. They would be nothing like humans, they could be a form of gass floating around reproducing, or maybe a bunch of matts that move by stretching. These gass and matts might have their own form of maths and science, or not maybe they use psychic abilities. Would aliens even have DNA. We understimate how different aliens are. The reason we haven't found any yet, is because we haven't recognised them, not because we don't see them.

@Lha Bho when you don't take your meds, and you start seeing aliens, what happens when you walk up to one and try to carry it, can you do it or does your hand go through it like its a hologram

so healing, you don't mean doctor sort of healing, you mean psychological or spiritual/enlightenment sort of healing. And where can you find an interview where they will spill all of their wisdom, or are they just quiet all together yeah bcos most people here are athiests, a reaction to the ludicracy of most people in religion.

but even the Dalai Lama doesn't believe in healing powers. Go to 0:30 of this video

man i don't agree with him, that's why im going back to actualized.org BUT I can't ignore your post without correcting you on something. His viewers aren't lazy people man.... they are people like me, who are sick and tired of getting caught up in fantasy and stories about enlightenment and the paranormal and (Sadghuru) psychic powers, that they just want something refreshingly realistic. Its so nice when you finally realize that what you are searching for doesnt actually exist, and that all that's real is reality. He attracts realists/non bullshitters. he has some pretty damn good points, especially his point that chasing enlightenment wont get you anywhere You are really good at judging before watching any of his videos and if you did research on him, he is definitely enlightened. Emerald Wilkin's video directly highlights it.

His main message is, to not get caught up following a path, and to accept reality as it is, because there is no such thing as a path, and you are already enlightened, and chasing enlightenment is bad, because you are chasing a fantasy, etc.

Did you know that GPS and the thought of moving from one place to another in the first place or all just walls and ceilings of your matrix? Yeah concepts like measurement are great.... if you want to support your other concepts like the concept 'im moving from England to the US'. If you want to come out of your shell a little bit, and place any value on empiricism, you would agree with the book.

@jse "To reach the most distant star in our own galaxy would take 100000 light years. These calculations are made using the assumption that light has a speed." True. light doesn't have a speed. Really, speed is a mental construct, and when we say that nothing is faster than the speed of light, we are making a claim that isn't necessarily true. Sadghuru talked about this once, that time changes all the time. When you're having fun time goes fast for instance. In our western scientific view, we would say that no our brains just made time seem quicker, it didn't actually go quicker. BUT as sadghuru said, this view is inside out, because empirically speaking, purely empirically speaking, the sensory world is the only world we know, and the only truth, and hence our western scientific view that time doesnt change is flawed. And also, in my opinion, this is a very good point: ". In other words, everyone knows that if you drop something it will fall, but no one knows precisely why. Many people know that electric ch arges push or pull on each other even if separated in a vacuum, but again no one knows why. Although the phenomena are quite different, the equations which describe the force of interaction are quite similar: For gravitation: F=Gmm'r 2 For electrostatic interaction: F=Kqq'r 2 The attractive force between our planet and our sun is described by the gravitational equation. The attractive force between orbiting electrons and the atomic nucleus is described by the electrostatic interaction equation. Now each of th ese equations was determined experimentally. They are not apparently related in any way, and yet they both describe a situation in which attractive force falls off with the square of the distance of separation. A mathematical representation of an action at a distance effect is called a field, such as a gravitational or electric field. It was Albert Einstein’s foremost hope to find a single relation which would express the effect of both electric and gravitational phenomena; in fact, a theory which would uni fy the whole of physics, a unified field theory. Einstein believed that this was a creation of total order and that all physical phenomena were evolved from a single source."

The more books you read, the more likely you are to find a practice or technique that works the quickest, or resonates with you the best. And there's more to life then enlightenment. There's also personal development, and changing the matrix. Just because you're enlightened, doesn't mean you become undogmatic. Just look at Mooji, or Rali, there are both enlightened as fuck, and when you tell them something that they think is bullshit, they get all pissed off and frustrated. You definitely do not drop all beliefs definitely

@jse if you ignore all of the terrestrial bs and look at the philosophy on page 15 16 and 17, its pretty valid. You can't chuck out the baby with the bath water. Buddhism is 99% Bullshit as well, would you just neglect the whole thing together though?

@kurt you need to read books to learn teachings to 'get you there'. And yes, there is a path, regardless of what teachers say, you aren't already enlightened until you realize it.

@jse This book actually makes some good points around page 15 16 and 17

how do you know non-duality is real? Or that its bad to let dual stuff enter your head

lost me at this point: "researchers who would pretend to be able to understand the phenomenon completely. Dr. J. Allen Hynek has called this quality of the research the “high strangeness” factor and has linked the amount of high strangeness with the probable validity of the case."

This book is radical, but I know a book that's even more challenging and radical, its called the Qu'ran At least Ra's law of 1 makes sense, and somewhat values empirical evidence. Not some elizabethan, contradicting, paradoxical messy proposition, that talks about what god is, without actually saying what god is If you want to challenge your open mind, give that one a go, unless you're muslim. Or give the Bible a go, try accepting all those arguments that it disagrees with science in. btw I'm joking, but seriously, the bible and the quran are pretty challenging.

I'm watching Rali... and he says that it's preposterous that people can heal each other, fly through walls, etc. And then I listen to Leo, and he tells us that you need to be open to the possibility of everything. I don't know who to believe..... anyone else in the same boat? Are you guys just accepting the confusion?

As the title states, how do you deal with extreme undecisiveness? Ever since I was in high school, I lost my ability to trust myself, and I became extremely undecisive. To put the issue I have into context, I wasted 8 hours a day, for 6 weeks, deciding which university to go to. I also put my teachers and family in a spin, when I was told to choose what elective I should pick for high school. And now I am at another point in time, where I have a pretty important decision to make, and if I continue to do no shadow work, I'm going to waste weeks on this decision. I just can't handle the idea of missing out on a big opportunity, and the uncertainty of it all is too much for me to handle. What should I do? I can't really hear intutition(or the muse) and when I do, I'm just too scared to trust it. What shadow work should I even do? Is it advisable that I should go see a psychologist about this? Thankyou actualized people!

Its obvious to me, and also to you, that after working hard for a long period of time, the mind starts to fatigue, and become unproductive on a long term basis. This is what happens to me every semester of university. You start to feel unmotivated, you start to feel tired, the pain of continuing through work becomes unbearable, the stress becomes super intense, kind of like the feeling you get after running a very long marathon, and so a holiday is needed. Though even when i have a holiday, I still don't feel re-energised. I still feel unfulfilled, and my mind still feels stressed and fatigued. How do you have a holiday so that you can rejuvenate, feel relaxed, feel unstressed, feel motivated again and feel unfatigued again as quickly as possible. I have found meditation to be the most effective method, but are there any other activities you can do on a holiday to get you pumped and ready for work again?

AI is fun; and i currently work in that, but it doesn't have as much consciousness raising stuff as it might seem. How computer brains work, is very different to how the mind works, and applications of artificial intelligence do not directly relate to raising of one's consciousness. Though I'm currently working on a project which uses artificial intelligence to help individuals understand the relationship bwtween introspection and reality, through back propagating neural networks. Like what Pramit said, computational neuroscience has a well balanced fit of mathematics, and applications to consciousness, though honestly, every field would have some sort of consciousness work that you could leverage off, and also use maths to do it.

@Mitch what @MIA.RIVEL and @Leo Gura say about how well formal education translates into the real world is certainly correct, but don't underestimate the networking opportunities a formal institution would grant you, just for being a student at their university. The people in your classes, and the events that happen at university can dramatically give you an edge in the market, and the insights from individual conversations with people around university most of the time, provide you with greater insights and knowledge than 4 years of your bachelor's degree. Go to university, not for the coursework, but for the shiny piece of paper, and for the reputation from networking.

as Richard Dawkins said, I think the meaning of life is a stupid question. Why does there have to be a meaning? Imagine your shock if you realized that life was just experiencing itself for no reason, and by no meaning.

so recently(procrastinating) I was reading through shitmandood's comment on a particular video, and he talked about how 5-meo-dmt gives you HPPD. I was curious on what that was, so I looked it up, and when I saw the symptoms I got very worried. I could identify with 80% of the symptoms on there. For example, one of the symptoms are seeing halos around objects, I definitely see that all the time, and seeing trails from moving objects, which I also see all of the time. Though the most prevalent symptom, and the one that shocked me the most, was the grainy texture symptom. Whenever I look at objects, I always see them as if I'm looking through a grainy television screen, heck I'm looking at my computer screen now, and now that I have become aware of it, it looks grainy as hell. I've always had problems reading, and I just assumed it was from dyslexia or something, but now its so clear to me that its actually the grainy shit that I see on a daily basis. Though I'm very confused, because I have always had these symptoms(since I was born) and just assumed that everyone had saw these weird visuals in their minds. It didn't come from my very recent use of psychedelics(first time I tried a psychedelic properly was only a few weeks ago, and only once). So does that mean I can still get HPPD, or is it some other sort of disease, or is it normal? Does anyone else identify with these symptoms? Surely I'm not the only one?

Hey guys, i was listening to my daily motivational speeches while I study, and I found myself listening to a Leo/Spiritual dude talking about personal Development. His name is Wayne Dyer, and he has a really awesome video about a cool intuition/positive thinking technique to do every night. Really cool. Check it out and see what you think!

Hey Guys, Firstly, this is not a post about an enlightenment experience I have had, or how to get to enlightenment. This is a post about a deep, experiential realization I had recently and how I got it. By reading this post, and maybe by following the message I speak of, it may help you develop very deep realization that could only be possible by weeks of meditation. If this post is too long, skip to the The Message Part ****Leading up to the experience**** I, by nature, am a very skeptical person. And so, being very skeptical, I started a spirituality experiment that lasted about 1 whole year. Coming from a very scientific background, I was very skeptical of the ways in which people just took for granted that someone was enlightened, like Mooji or Eckhart Tolle without and empirical validation. So I decided, which ended up lasting for about an entire year, I would pretend to be an enlightened being, and see how easily it would be to decept people into thinking that I had an enlightenment experience, and had practiced spirituality for a long time, without actually doing/having any of those things. I started off on youtube(June 2015), replying to people's comments about enlightenment as if I myself were enlightened, telling them the common dogma of 'enlightenment isn't a thing' 'its nothing' and that you are what you already are, without actually understanding what I was saying. I was quite shocked at the responses, people praised me for being on the enlightenment path, and for helping them get an epiphany that they had never achieved before. I thought wow, if its this easy to decept people on youtube, I wonder how easy it is to decept actual new age and buddhist movements face to face. I approached my first victims, a buddhist group at my university. I went there a few times, acted really calm, told them the same dogma that you hear from spiritual teachers 'accept everything the way that it is' 'its beautiful the way that it is' and the people stared at me, with light struck eyes, as if they were staring directly into the face of the Buddha himself. They asked me for advice on how to solve their problems, I, like an actor, pretended to know, and faked it as part of the experiment. My head slightly concerned, continued to echo the phrase for the next 6 weeks "Come on, I'm just pretending, surely they can sense that its all an experiement.". But for the next 6 months or so, they failed to even get the slightest hint that this was all a joke developed for my own skepticism. In fact, they believed me so much, that even I was starting to believe my own BS, without actually realizing it. I kind of knew and remembered that it was all game I was playing, but due to the sheer belief these people had in me, I dug a huge hole that was so big and consuming, I began to internalize my own BS. I began to almost forget that I wasn't enlightened, even though if one of my non spiritual friends had asked me, I would have still said it was an experiment. I continued to watch Leos videos with skepticism, and totally followed his advice about how to not be dogmatic, and treat everything as just a belief, which I did. I had a friend at university who was into Buddhism heaps, and believed that the Buddha had spiritual powers, and that Sadghuru had powers as well. And given how deep of a hole I created for myself, I began to believe that! While still telling myself how open minded I was. I began to believe everything Eckart Tolle said, and Leo said, and Shinzen Young said, while also believing that I didn't actually believe any of it. I started treating spirituality like a game, where I had to level up to a higher level. I started meditating with my Buddhist group every morning for 3 hours, just so we could get a deeper meditative experience, and so that we could develop psychic powers. It became an extremely painful experience, because while in the end I knew it was all from an experiment, I started to fully become immersed into pure spiritual dogma. And just the fact that it wasn't real, made it ultimately a painful experience. ****The break of the spiritual ego**** This hole was so huge, that it finally began to start crumbling. My lack of fulfillment and desire started to pierce through my spiritual ego's deceptions. I ended up telling my entire group at university, and also a friend online, that who I truely was, wasn't an enlightened dude, but that it was all an experiment. Some people were really shocked, some people started hating on me because of how much I egged them on, some people just couldnt believe it, and just thought i was pretending for some spiritual reason. just the act of telling them brought me back down to earth. I instantly fully realized again how all of it was just a trick I played on myself and others, and how in actuality, the belief in spiritual powers, Buddhism, and everything Leo said was all something that wasn't ultimately real. But the difference between now, and earlier this year, is that because of the radical open mindedness I practiced, I didnt have a strong grip on science anymore either. I dropped every single belief about spirituality, as if spirituality was just like a fundamental christian church cult, and Leo and Eckart Tolle was deluded, like every other person on this planet. ****The Experience**** Just as I dropped every single belief I had about spirituality, for a few seconds, I saw something that I will never forget. It became very apparent to me, that everything I ultimately believed in, was completely false. Nothing that you believe in actually exists. After realizing that spirituality was false, I felt like I had just become extremely sober. Its like I had been drunk all of my life, and then finally the alcohol had worn off, and I could see everything for what it really was. It was like, everything before this experience, was me living in a dream, a dream constructed from my web of beliefs. It was like that feeling you get when you wake up from sleeping, but x1000000. I was staring outside at the time, and it became very obvious that the separation between the different trees didnt actually exist, everything merged into 1 big collage. Every single event in life, every single object in reality, is shaped by your psyche. Everything, from going to university, to going to the movies, to picking up a cup, are all apart of your web of beliefs. I heard my parents in the kitchen, arguing about the American presidency, and honestly it felt like they were both living in a dream, and didn't realize it. It was an extremely isolating feeling, in a good way. Only when I stopped believing in spirituality, did I truely at least half heartedly understand what Leo was talking about in his videos. I thought I was dropping my beliefs, when I started tolerating every belief thrown at me, but now to my shock, I realize that was all a delusion. I was deluding myself into thinking that I was dropping beliefs, when in fact that belief that I was dropping beliefs was a belief in itself! The worst mistake I made on this path, was that I thought I knew what higher consciousness felt like. I thought I knew what enlightenment was, and I was trying to match that belief with the real world, oh how deluded I was. Everything I thought I knew about spirituality, was completely wrong. Everything I knew in general was wrong. Everything was just a product of the matrix. It only lasted a few seconds, but in those few seconds, I felt a deep sense of relief and calmness, it was beautiful. ****The Message**** What I realized from this experiment, was a realization of how complex and how difficult this enlightenment stuff really is. You can't set a goal for yourself for this stuff. Because ultimately the goal is a belief, and it will mislead you. The ego is extremely sneaky. Never ever ever ever trust it!! IF you think you are open minded, or that you are enlightened, or anything else, you have already become lost on this path. Some beliefs go 100 levels deep! But the most important realization I had was the trap I fell into when I started believing stuff spiritual teachers said, while telling myself that I didn't believe it. If you want to have a deeper realization that what you currently have. Don't believe anything! This ultimately means, everything Leo has told you in your videos, are all apart of the matrix. Believe in Leo's content as much as you would believe in Santa Clause. Being open minded doesn't mean you believe in everything, in fact its the opposite, it means you DONT believe in anything!! Hope this helps someone

Recently I decided to try doing Kundalini meditation. My friend told me some crazy things about it, like that it gives you powerful euphoric feelings. I've heard also that you can go mentally insane from it, and possibly loose some physical sensory abilities. And I didn't believe any of what he was saying, and just assumed that he was over exaggerating. I'm not an athiest and science patriot anymore, but I am still skeptical about the weird new age 'energies' and 'third eye' shit. So I went and tried Kundalini meditation, 100% confident that nothing will happen, and my ass got wooped seriously for being that dogmatic. After 5 minutes I could feel 'energies' going up and down my spine, and a very powerful zinging feeling everywhere in awareness. My worldview was completely detached from me, I almost forgot where I was during the meditation. I stopped 10 minutes in, because I could feel my eyes tearing up big time, for no god damn reason, and I just freaked out because of how real it was. So it didnt activate, and now I'm worried if I try it again I'm going to go insane How do you prepare for Kundalini to make sure that you wont hurt yourself? Can anything happen drastically? That was a very powerful feeling.
