Conscious billionaire Video i really enjoyed watching: If only the majority of rich people had the mindset Nick Hanauer seems to have. Leo posted a similar post on his blog in the past : https://www.actualized.org/insights/the-dirty-secrets-of-capitalism

Cool! Yeah, day in a life videos are pretty interesting

So is mine haha

Just a funny video I really enjoyed about NFTs:

@Arthogaan Interesting! That's a cool idea though

What if electricity became free and available for everyone? Is it possible? What kind of world would it be if it becomes a reality?

This reminded me of some of your blog posts about ego and politics. From https://www.actualized.org/insights/politics-and-ego From https://www.actualized.org/insights/the-neo-nazi-bible

Good luck with your tournament!

All you need is Faith

Enlightenment Now I wanted to share this excerpt about enlightenment from Sir David Hawkins. If you're a spiritual seeker, you know how frustrating it can be when you view enlightenment as something to be attained in the future. But what if that's what's holding us back from enlightenment? If you want to, you can hear it here:

So I watched Leo's video that i really loved and left a deep impression on me, and i wanted to share some key takeaways from the video. In a way, what he talked about in the video really cleared up a lot of stuff for me. "Do you wanna honor life or not?". That's the message of the video in a nutshell. If the answer is yes, you'll have no motivation issues. The video resonates with you more if you're on the self-actualization path. At least, that's what i felt. Key points/takeaways from the video "Motivational speech - October 2021" Honor your life! Stop taking life for granted. The core principle of life : LOVE for Reality/Life. In what way do you wanna love and honor life? Find what you are the most fascinated about life and pursue it. Become a master at it. (In Leo's case it the fascination with the Mind/Consciousness). Stop making excuses for yourself. You're the only one holding you back. Start making baby steps. Focus! Don't get distracted. Listen to your heart/intuition. Take the right brain approach to life. Listen to what your higher self is saying. It will be difficult and lonely at times. Console and reassure yourself in those times. Have faith. Ultimately, you don't take everything way too seriously. You realize it's a game.

You're only 23, dude! Why are you being so hard on yourself?

The part 2 of the notes from: “A Vision for the Self-actualized life - Get Yo Ass Inspired!” Kick-ass goals: Life where you never have to worry about money again Life where work is not work, but play and your greatest joy Developing full emotional control (conquering depression, anxiety, boredom, pain, suffering, anger, negative thinking, fear, etc) Becoming a grounded and emotionally imperturbable human being (Someone like Marcus Aurelius, Stoicism) Having a deep understanding of how the world works Really successful and fulfilling intimate relationship Amazing sex (tantra, hypnosis, dominant sex, etc) Developing a core confidence (being sure of oneself, cultivating deep self-love, accepting one’s flaws and weaknesses) Traveling (savoring full richness of life) Physical vitality and energy Rich and rewarding friendships Becoming a leader of other human beings, being a role model Being creative and advancing humanity in a meaningful way Breaking free of the rat race Living life with integrity (a life lived on principles for their own sake) Enlightenment (realizing the true existential nature of oneself, others, and reality) Having the time to contemplate and reflect on life (appreciate and see the beauty of life) Dying with a smile on one’s face Steps towards self-actualization: Knowledge - accurate, high quality information. Invest 10% of your income on learning Start making small changes - eliminate toxic habits (start building a strong and healthy morning routine, change food habits, social media addiction, etc.) Find your life purpose Become financially independent ------------------- Hope you found my notes helpful. I personally love this particular video, because it sets the Vision for you. But i'd still recommend you to watch the video if you're interested, because i can't script down everything that's said in the video. There's a lot more there.

Hello! I wanted to share a note I took from Leo's video. I still love watching his relatively old, motivational type videos as much as i love his newer, deep, metaphysical videos. The video's called: “A Vision for the Self-actualized life - Get Yo Ass Inspired!” (part 1) Self-actualization is: The realization of one’s potentials, capacities, and talents The fulfillment of one’s mission in life A fuller knowledge of one’s intrinsic nature Getting really in touch with your authentic self Becoming a whole human being An unceasing trend towards unity and integration within oneself Maslow's two types of pleasures: Scarcity pleasure - relief that one gets from loss of tension and anxiety Abundance pleasure - ecstasy of functioning at one’s prime; the bliss you get from living an excellent, virtuous life, acing life Self-actualization is an unceasing trend/pursuit of: Humanity Creativity Knowledge Fairness Rationality Playfulness Authentic love Virtue Truth Beauty Feeling of joy Deep gratitude & fulfillment with life What’s possible for you: To feel Creatively alive every single day To turn your work into your top passion To make the most meaningful contribution that you can possibly make to the world To be a leader and be someone who’s inspirational to others To free yourself of your neurosis, fears, and other limitations To learn and master all the key areas of life (career, health, wealth, friendships, intimate relationships, self-esteem) To learn and master emotional development To learn and master family life ----------------------------- It continues though. I'll post the part 2 of my note later.

Importance of a life Principle Do you have a life principle? Following is a note from one of Leo's videos on values and principles (Life advice for young people part 2 i think): The core values/principles to follow to live a good life: Creativity Heart Love Intuition Independence of mind Clarity of mind Lifelong learning Reading Authenticity Radical open-mindedness Passion Vision Ambition Purpose Spirituality Fearlessness Truth Raising your consciousness Work ethic Focus The ability to concentrate your mind Wisdom Service to others Selflessness Solitude & self-reflection Questioning Curiosity Going beyond materialism & survival Which one of them do you resonate with? I personally love them. Of course i'm working on my own principles too. It's a work in a progress. To my opinion, it seems that, even if you don't know what exactly it is that you wanna do in life, having a principle helps immensely. It guides you. We often like to think in terms of: "What do i wanna do?". We wanna think in terms of "How do i want my life to be?". Do i want it to be Passionate? Creative? Selfless? Spiritual? Joyful? You lay it out.

My favorite ?. It makes me feel motivated and inspired. Don't have much to write today. I'd love to share some of my personal stuff but I'm not too sure about that too. I'm too timid, i guess. Have a great day

Following video is one of my favorites from Leo. I especially love the part where he talks about how we're so disconnected from survival these days, and the way we've domesticated ourselves. (If you click on the video, it starts where he talks about it (8:16-20:25)) We have forgotten what it's like to be "on the Edge" everyday. We have forgotten what it's like to feel Alive. Why don't we take that back and choose to live an Engaged life? Why don't we choose to live a life where we're passionate everyday and exited to wake up every morning?

Learn to say "So?". Simple yet powerful. "So what?". Now the world loses its power over you. Your thoughts too. Self-judgement, self-condemnation, self-talk... After all, what is your biggest enemy but your own thoughts. You say "So?" This question, as Sir David Hawkins says, negates the value of unnecessary, destructive thinkingness.

When life gets too much sometimes, instead of wallowing in sadness, anxious thoughts and trying to resolve everything, you wanna let go and say, "Gee, I don't know!", haha. It's okay if you don't know. We like to control everything around us. But sometimes (or always) you wanna get out of the way of Life. Life is intelligent, trust it.

@Leo Gura This might sound like a silly question but if I'm God, then why am I not Omnipotent and Omniscient? God is often described as omnipotent, omniscient but why don't i feel like that? I'm not almighty or all-knowing, instead i feel limited and finite. For example, If you're God, without having 0 experiences before, you're supposed to be able to paint the most beautiful painting, or compose the most beautiful music, or crate the most sophisticated robot and all that ON THE SPOT, right?

Could it be said that these two videos are the summaries of what Leo wants to teach you ultimately? @Leo Gura Do you still stand with everything that is said here, or would you add/change some things?

It's an expression of finding something funny and humorous, not saying that i literally can't do it. But i appreciate your advice

I can't ???

Oh okay But are you in God consciousness at all times? Are you beyond ego? You've said in the past that although you get all the incredible awakenings on psychedelics, you come back to your old state, therefore really the key to awakening is collapse of the ego. Is that still true?

One of the biggest benefits of spiritual work for me has been the dissolution of self-loathing. I'm still working on it but it has been unbelievably transforming. For the past few years my self image was getting pretty bad, and the way i viewed myself was getting worse and worse, and as a result you get more insecure than ever, the smallest things triggered shame in me. Something needed to be done about it, or else it could spiral into something very serious. But with spiritual awareness, now I'm almost entirely free of that and I'm feeling so much better. You can too IF (big caveat) you're dedicated enough and not too attached to your sense of self. If you want me to elaborate a little more, let me know.
