Ok so I'm gathering that the kingdom of Israel has existed for around 3k years, but lots of them got chased away then came back and formed a modern, recognised, sovereign political state in the 1940's with the help of the UK. Then the Jews roll in and start fucking shit up for the Palestinian civilians. No doubt Israel is wrong with their methods and it's clear you can't just dislodge thousands of people...but it's also clear that historically, this was the Jews holy land. Which would explain why their being so agro. Of course metaphysically all ownership is a delusion...but politically, it was Jewish territory first was it not?

@Raze Im just dipping my toes into some unfamiliar territory here lol. Politics is very complex. It's obvious that Israel has been a naughty boy even though I was indoctrinated with right wing information through my entire life. Was Israel not the OG owners of that area of land? It would explain (but wouldn't justify) why they're being so reactionary. Like it actually reminds me of my own countries political problems, northern Ireland...when the Brits took over Ireland and started fucking them up they reacted with blowing Belfast to high hell for 30 years, and while employing terrorist methodologies was clearly the wrong way, the essence of their motivation was correct, it was originally their land... Im probably way off the mark as I need to educate myself way more about this all but yeh

It's just surprising to me how the UK can be so supportive of Israel so publicly in the media. They aren't typically ones for being heavily supportive of war criminal campaigns. But then again, I seem to be discovering the unbelievable depths of systemic, widespread stupidity that exist at government levels these days. Its obviously got to do with Christianity as well...all the older gens seem to be against Palestine in UK. But it would be interesting for me to find out what exactly caused Israel to become so aggressive. I find it hard to believe that they just woke up one day and decided "hey let's become extremely unnecessarily heavy handed and become war criminals" for no reason at all... There is the possible answer that's it's just down to basic escalation...but something tells me it's more than that...

Can someone please explain to me why Israel is employing questionable methods? What sparked their rage? This does not come about randomly for no reason

My friend Molly isn't cheap, but you have to crush her up before you take her

I could give you the contact details of my good friend and trip sitter, Molly, she's great

@Leo Gura if you do an interview with him you could be super gracious but gently tell him your more enlightened than him and he has no clue haha. Jk ... The student has become the master

Oh I didn't realise the op was a year old. Well my point still stands any loss of motivation or loss of anything positive or a build up or negative can happen right before a small or big breakthrough ;I The only other piece of advice I think I'd give is don't feel the need to rush into anything too fast. Do your research and speak with ideally at least 10 people who have done what you want to do and carefully analyse the logistical components of becoming a life coach for example to see if it's really what you want. If it is then boom, your good. But it also might not be. There is a phenomenon of group think that can happen in self improvement circles like here at actualized, where everyone sort of just thinks they want to become a life coach or enlightened master, when in reality, life has a hell of a lot more options, some of which are just as good. It's also worth noting that Leo has previously made mention of having thoughts that pursuing something that is very advanced too early in life can interrupt the natural flow. God has recently been soothing my mind with the wisdom of zen and in particular, not forcing things to happen. Forcing things to happen too quickly without actually consulting the inner deity to see if it's his will can result in overextensions and blow outs and burn outs. I made a promise to the universe today that I won't be making anymore big decisions in life at all without consulting the inner deity before hand...that ultimately it isn't me that does or chooses anything. This doesn't discount some basic effort, but it dose offer a little wisdom to an Americanised approach that is otherwise oriented with forcefulness and raw mental strain.

You have a gender equality demon. The best way to get rid of him is to learn psychological mixed martial arts then when he comes to try convert you into a woman again you can give him spinning back fist

@jacknine119 if i were you id find ways to put walls and resistance in place inbetween you and gambling. this seems to be the biggest problem from what i can detect. like bro, if you could build up a few walls and strategy plans for this gambling thing you could legit just save money and use it to buy more smokes, at least it would me money in your pocket rather than a casinos...make pragmatic steps and action plans with a family member or support worker to avoid the gambling...like at least if you do that and save your money you can spend it on something unhealthy that gives you a little bit of pleasure rather than something thats unhealthy and gives you no pleasure and just takes all your money for no reason at all haha

dont worry zen, a blast of demotivation can sometimes be the energetic shockwave that precedes a massive step forward <3 ;l

i feel connection to all animals, its almost like i know what its like to be them. check out this badass grizzly fight https://youtu.be/OloflbzNeMs?si=RPV2BdnMO0-vHNps

i think a legendary death would be cool, like giving a speech and being so overtaken by emotion that your heart gives way, that would be beautiful

well, at least your admitting it. its hard because i think manipulation is kind of like how leo now talks about selfishness, a degree of it is required. Think of it this way, if a male gave a female altered or exaggerated information to increase attraction this could in some ways be seen as manipulative...however think about what females do, they wear makeup. Is this not altered or exaggerated information? Also why would you go to an interview overdressed? Because you enjoyed spending the money on the suit? probably not. its because you want to control the interviewers mind and opinion of you. You want to influence them with appearances that will likely be at least slightly exaggerated. That could be classified as manipulation. Also, how did you get to the interview? Did you manipulate your car to get there? Or manipulate your body to walk there? If you cant control/manipulate all aspects of your reality in an appropriate way and to an appropriate degree (for example not making threatening undertones to an employer lol, or abusive social pressures to a girl). Then its just about distinguishing between what an appropriate amount of healthy selfish manipulation is. Btw for pragmatism's sake you might want to use words like "influence" or "guide" rather than manipulate. The word manipulate carries extreme, abusive connotations.

christianity: the soul is the mind will and emotions. Hinduism: the soul is the eternal part of what you are (what christianity calls the spirit). These terms are sometimes used interchangeably

The way I do it is just be detached. Not to say that you don't care about anything...but that is ultimately the best way to go about it in a way. You could also then do some social freedom exercises which start easy and work up to more challenging. For starters you could walk up to random people in a part of town you never go to and just ask people for the time or directions. Then after a lot of that you can start to actively embrace the awkward and socially alien: you can ask people "what time is it in Roman numerals" or after they give you directions just walk the opposite direction lol. Then slowly ramp it up to where you just walk up to a random girl and propose to her with a jelly ring on the spot. Gradually your social >freedom< will become better. Also generally becoming a badass is a good tool, but don't go towards Tate style badassery, you can be a calibrated badass. You could even start with wearing pink and walk down the street or whatever is mildly uncomfortable 4u

Bonus insight: the way to best consume the daily bread of Ballance and integration is the strategic elimination of social-spiritual isolation. Being alone is a trap.

That's gangster

find balance Leo's teachings are advanced and lots of it is supplementary not daily sustenance. My good friend sent me this (Book name: Psychedelics & Psychotherapy)

1ml RDS (reduced dead space) needless syringes. Save every drop

^ Big up dis wan innit

Typically you can't have massive power and massive safety simultaneously, not easily, especially with the most advanced teachings ITU. Plus someone needs to blaze the trail. This is particularly important as this particular trail happens to be the most amazing trail in existence. The key is baked into actualized brand - advanced self improvement. This is high level shit. Very difficult to do what the Leo avatar has done. Cool accomplishment. Now that the trail has been blazed, we can work on increasing safety

This is good advice. Check this insight out (mooji inspired): This is a silence that is discovered not maintained. Some can hear it, but most do not listen to it.
