Warning! Requires being willing to let go of "Sanity" and potentially risk becoming what's regarded in mainstream society as "Crazy". It requires: bulletproof epistemology, high awareness of self-deception, high tolerance for confusion and becoming unhinged, scientific-grade levels of hypothesis and experiment testing within your direct experience, and the willingness to be okay with wherever this leads you or whatever happens. Also, Existential Confidence grounded in Actuality. Taking infinite Ownership and Ultimate Authority over your mind. And being comfortable with unfathomably uncomfortable levels of Not-Knowingness, while at the same time trusting your intuition to borderline dogmatic levels and a degree of open-mindedness so extreme that it goes full circle into closed-mindedness -- Where you just know because you just know. If reading this disclaimer turned your stomach, and even after taking a few minutes to sit with it, no matter how much you try, you cannot genuinely embrace and accept this idea and the possible weight of this burden and life implications, then this post will not be for you, or you're not ready for it at this chapter of your life and development. Skip to blue text below for the actual instructions ... Take a moment to get yourself in a relaxed headspace. ... Get in tune with your emotions. ... Hear your mind out. Give your body the comfort it asks for. ... Set your intention to BE here now. The present moment is all that exists. ... There is no past. ... There is no future. ... The present moment, your direct bubble of experience and YOUR PERCEPTION is the ONLY game in town. ... Shift your focus for a moment to the elephant in the room: Existence is MYSTERIOUS. ... ... Shallow contemplation, if at all -- jumping to conclusions, holding or not questioning assumptions, dismissing blindspots... are ALL the Ego's arrogance and defense mechanisms for it to feel safe, in control and to be functional for day-to-day survival. That cluster of memories, identity and sense of individual separation from the world and others. That's the ego. The "CEO of SURVIVAL". ... ... I would like to invite you to explore what perception is. ... Not what you "think" it is, or what you've heard it is or what you've been told. ... What is it? What does it really feel like? Where does it come from? ...Does perception come from "the outside"? Is there an "outside world" that is being "perceived"? Is the "outside world" separate from the "inside world"? How do "I" relate to the "inside and the outside world"? ... ... What am I? ... What if the most tangible thing you can cling on to in your direct experience as an existential identity of what or who you are, since Nothingness is so slippery, is Perception? The essence of what You ARE, is PURE RAW Perception. You are The Observer, but you are The Perceived, since the middle-man is the illusion of ego-consciousness. But the Observer is tricky to get a solid connection with -- from a standard baseline of consciousness. It's tricky to turn the Observation on itself. But you do have a pretty solid connection to Perception available. Is Perception the face of the Soul of Nothingness? And anything beyond that is what's called "the Ego"? What if there is no "External Perception" or "Internal Perception" like Mindfulness meditation with labeling categorizes? What if there is only Perception with capital P? Am I the "outside world" as much as I'm the "inside world"? Am I both the perceiver and what's being perceived? What if the substance of reality isn't atoms and molecules, but just Pure Perception? Maybe there is Nothing "besides the scenes"? ... How is it possible that you can taste, smell, feel, see and hear? If you think about it, it's an absolute miracle. The senses, and Perception are pure magic. Because Magic IS the behind the scenes mechanism of Reality. The mechanism is NO MECHANISM. Magic is manipulating reality without a mechanism. Magic is an unmediated force or action. Pure consciousness shaping reality without needing a bridge or tool. The most direct and effective method possible. The no-method Method. ... How is it possible for a sound to "happen" without you looking at it? ... And for you to "perceive it"? Don't look at science. I can give you the most profound accurate description of how sound is generated from the materialistic scientific paradigm you've ever heard. Here it is: ( Scroll to RED TEXT to skip science section ) In a nutshell, in very practical scientific terms, "Hearing" is perceiving the disruption of energy and matter in spacetime. ( more context at the end of this section ) Sound is generated by the vibration of particles, specifically molecules, which are clusters of atoms held together by chemical bonds (one of the many types of energy). When you talk about atoms, you’re mostly talking about empty space. Almost all of what we consider “solid” matter is mostly empty. But not "really empty". What we call empty space is more like a restless field of potential. At the quantum level, it’s never truly empty. Even in a perfect vacuum, particles and antiparticles flicker into existence and disappear again in a constant dance. This is called "the quantum vacuum", a kind of fabric where energy is always bubbling and shifting and popping, full of possibilities waiting to become real. When you snap your fingers, the kinetic energy from your flesh molecules crashes against each other. That impact transfers energy to the surrounding air molecules, which are made of clusters of atoms. The impact literally creates an "energy disturbance", causing "matter" , aka the air molecules to vibrate back and forth, passing energy from one to the next like a oscilating wave. A sound wave is just kinetic energy moving through a medium. So, when you hear your neighbours through a solid wall, it's because from his lungs, the gas molecules that air is composed of, vibrate his vocal cords as they pass through, propagate the vibration through the medium, which is gas molecules of air surrounding his mouth, and hit more compact and dense molecules which is your wall (and everywhere around), which still goes on to pass the vibration regardless, now weaker, again pushing the gas molecules that air is made of, finally hitting your ears. When that wave reaches your ears, it hits your eardrum, causing it to vibrate. The vibration travels through a series of tiny bones in your middle ear before reaching a fluid-filled structure lined with ESSENTIAL hair cells. These hair cells are incredibly sensitive, with hair-like structures that bend and wave as the fluid moves. When those hairs move, they convert motion into electrical signals. Ions flow into the cells, generating tiny bursts of electricity that travel along the auditory nerve to your brain. But it doesn't stop there. Your brain takes those electrical signals and breaks them down, analyzing them based on their strength, their frequency, their proximity, and far more than just that. Timbre, texture, rhythm, patterns, how long the sound lasts, how loud it is, how close it is, where it's coming from in space, how it interacts with your memories and emotions... your brain processes all of it. All of those signals and patterns are stored in your "memory". Your brain recognizes them, categorizes them, labels them with concepts and names. You hear a snap, or a clap, or a voice, or music. You identify and separate each one, even when they're layered over each other. Pretty cool and useful survival feature to give to your creatures huh? "Hearing " is the Perception of the disruption of energy and matter in spacetime. (END of scientific sidenote) So all this just reach the conclusion that there is no solid ground to ground sound in -- since " the first domino " is Energy, causing Energy and matter disruption in spacetime. And energy is just pure inmaterial potential. Energy is more fundamental than matter. Matter exist thanks to energy ( electromagnetic energy, chemical energy ... ) YOU LITERALLY perceive movement remotely. It's only a perception without anything to ground it in, nothing solid behind the scenes. Also known as a " hallucination ". The appareance of perception. You may say , hey! that's not right. If i snap my fingers the sound is originated by the snapping. It's not a hallucination. It's not just apperance. It's real! That's for external perception. But what about "internal perception"? What about thoughts? What are thoughts even? Internal Hearing + Internal Seeing + Internal Feeling. Where do they come from? Just in the same way we just explained that empty space doesn't exist, and even in a pure vacuum there are still spontaneous appearances of quarks and potential, Thoughts come from NOWHERE. From emptiness. What if actually, every human being already has some sort of "extra sensory perception"? But we just explain it away with science and ignorance? Maybe thoughts come from "within" the brain, but also from "outside" the brain? ( there is of course, a strangeloop relationship at the core of any existential question) Just like quarks appear from absolute nothingness in a pure vacuum, thoughts also arise from absolute nothingness. The reason for this may be our self-imposed limitation of our design to not be able to perceive dimensions beyond our 3D reality + the 4th of spacetime. Just like for a 2D creature that lives on a flat piece of paper, if we put our finger on his paper from the top, it would look like it appears from nowhere. In a sense, you perceive energy disturbances (which definition of sound explained above in scientific terms) in Nothingness in the "shape" of sound. One of the assumptions we carry is that Technology allows us to speak with other beings. Something like a phone call allows us through the miracle of materialistic science to hear each other remotely. But maybe that is just a permission slip. What if that's already some sort of extra sensory perception in a sense? What about the technology of reading and writing? We can communicate in systems of symbols and meanings and concepts remotely. We can share insights and ideas and emotions remotely. What if we put our materialistic assumptions on pause for a moment, and consider that this is a rudimentary type of extra sensory perception? What about dreaming at night? What if it's not just some brain activity but actually The Pure Raw perception that is THE ESSENCE OF WHAT YOU ARE tuning into a different kind of frequency / dimension / reality / dream that's temporally less coherent and less vivid? Another example of a permissions slip would be taking psychedelics to expand your state of consciousness, but once you're on the other end you understand that it's a ridiculous notion. It's a strange loop and a paradox, how it must be. You may argue, hey that's not extra sensory perception, that's just sensory perception from the material world. And you're right. But what if there is no difference between how ESP and SP work? How to: For a moment here, consider putting all preconceived notions of how existence works on pause. Whatever you've been believing for now, what science or what culture says goes temporarily to sleep. Don't worry, we can wake it up later. Adopt an attitude of humility, curiosity and exploration. Your intention, focus, and emotional mood are everything. Tune in to your thoughts. Notice they appear from nowhere. Sometimes they may be coherent. Sometimes less coherent. Sometimes not at all. Notice that holding on to "thoughts" and thinking "being your possession" or thoughts being "yours" is a projection of the ego. Thoughts appear, and on the one hand, you observe them, but on the other hand, you ARE THEM because they are now part of the bubble of experience, the field of perception in the present moment also known as Truth. You are the perception and you are the perceiver. Again, notice that the thoughts arise from nowhere in particular. They pop into existence. POP. Notice that if you achieve a calm mind, thoughts will still appear without you having any control over it. You only have partial control of the mind, just like you only have partial control of your body. (Lots of involuntary activity going on). Your experience is an experience of co-living with the mind and body as The Observer and The Observed. Notice that you can control your inner monologue, partially and maybe not with absolute accuracy, but you can. The voice in your mind's ear has a specific tone and timbre and color and quality, sort of resembling your physical voice. Notice you can talk with yourself internally. You can both create the sound and you can receive the sound. If you try, you can actually have a two-way conversation with yourself, creating an illusion of separation (An illusion is not something that is not true, but something which appears to be something that is not. And Truth and Illusion have a spectrum. There are bigger and lesser illusions.) Notice you can change the tone of voice you hear your voice in. You can imitate tones of voice in your mind's ear. This makes it easier for the illusion of separation to click. But you can just keep it the same if you want if you're capable of juggling the conversation like that. It looks like you can "hallucinate," which means to experience an apparent sensory perception of something that is not actually present, BUT actually it IS present which means it IS true because you WILL it into existence. Because Hallucination is one of the main mechanisms of reality's operation mode, just there are different levels and consistencies on the spectrum of hallucination. Notice you can "hallucinate" a conversation between two internal monologues. One in your normal voice and one in your "acted" voice. Notice you can "command" your inner hearing with "pure willpower". Again, you can will sounds into existence. Your intention is essential. You can interact with the field of Nothingness by asking questions, which tunes your focus into potential answers that come from the intelligent field of Nothingness. This is known as insight. It may not come immediately or not work at all, but setting the intention to receive answers may or may not eventually fulfill your ask. The ego wants to force it to happen, and it wants it to work 100% of the times, which is why it won't work, because the Ego mind must get out of the way, which means not forcing it and being okay if it doesn't immediately work, or at all. Insight is one kind of ESP, but you can also set your intention to welcome an interaction with a higher intelligence, or whatever qualities you attribute to the other entity you willingly hallucinate. You cannot force it to happen. And you won't be sure if it works. There naturally will be doubt. Is this just me? Or is this actually channeling? A good rule of thumb is that the closer you come to a chain event of Insights, the closer to a pure channel it is. You can attempt to jumpstart the conversation or transmission somewhat like how you choose to speak with someone specific by dialing a phone number of a person that you know is associated with this phone number. You tune into the frequency of his phone after having a thought of that person, and you stay tuned in on that particular frequency just like you were to do if you were speaking with him on a very crowded street, tuning out all other "noise". And over time you will develop a "muscle memory" on how to lock in to the particular frequency you're channeling. Just like if I show you 50 colors you can immediately focus on all the yellows. You will start to know how it feels and how it's supposed to feel. You can say in your mind's ear "hello?" And answer yourself in a different voice. You can try to act it out a little, play around with it. Really get into the roles. Take it seriously. What if all it takes to Channel is to truly actually undoubtedly belive 100% that you are doing it? And doubting it is ego mind that's getting in the way? Imagine that if you really tried with 100% of your intention, it would really have to work, because then, how would you know the difference between you imagining it and it actually being a different entity? And what if that fluctuation between truly believing it's working vs doubting and dismissing is the key to the portal to actually channel? And of course, you can't really tell the difference, because the other entity must be you yourself, because all is one. Hence of course in a sense it's your own voice in disguise, it can't be another way. Which is why this will make you feel crazy and like you've lost your sanity.

In case you missed Leo's blog post: https://www.actualized.org/insights/zeolite-nanoparticles-for-detox @The0Self Thoughts on this? How small would the particles have to be to be effective? How strong is it's bond with the Heavy metals? Any worries about It potentially absorbing nutrients? What about It actually being poluted itself? What would the dosage schedule and half life be? I was about to PM you but I feel It may turn into a fruitful post. Andy Cutler did not recommend Zeolites as far as I remember because of lack research in his times and he did not do provoked urine split testing as he belived large doses of chelators were harmful ( as far as I know) Besides Leo's links, I found this place to be resourceful, as in the product and FAQ section. https://thegoodinside.com/shop/product/pure-body-extra-strengt im a about to guinea pig this one in a few days: https://amzn.to/3tBCelD edit : particle size for this cheaper powder is 132000 to 2000 nanometers. The spray is 10 to 250 nanometers. I'll give It a try regardless . Eventually I'll try the spay as well.

A belief is a model of truth. An assumption of what is real. A hypothesis of how things are and how things work . They can be more acurrate or less acurrate, more conscious or subconscious. It's a good rule of thumb to rely on direct experience to move closer to truth, but it's not everything. Without the proper context and epistemological foundation you can still be severely deluded.

Personal Development enthusiasts sometimes end up being somewhat naive with what is or is not possible for each one of us with that " my beliefs are the only limits " mindset. Let's gather all the genetic lottery winners ? Note : Try to discern high skill and mastery from LITERALLY genetically special people. Genetically special people that also have high mastery ( Like Charly Puth's Perfect Pitch ) is okay for this thread as well. But not just mastery or high skill. For example, no ammount of training will give you the ability to hear colors without the right genetics ( AKA Synesthesia ) Here are some examples of what I mean :

I was craving more of a conversational tone from the snippet that you shared. It gave me borderline academic vibes and personally it's a turn off for me. Just my 2 cents. I always admired actualized.org for the clarity of straightforward language, and I think other readers will too

How's the book going?

PayPal mafia back at it again

hows this going?

I'd rather be in a nightclub than at a maga rally or religious gathering lol

As I'm learning more and more about sales and marketing, the foundations, Insights, do's and don'ts , with the purpose of becoming financially independent in the next 10 years , I'd like this place to be where I share what I find , and for this thread to become massively valuable over the years You're welcome to share wisdom nuggets as well, but really think through if what you're posting is valuable, as to keep it tidy I will regularly be asking mods to remove irrelevant or low quality posts I want to focus on high quality and ethical sales and marketing to the degree that is possible , but I consider learning and translating lessons from the coldhearted cutthroat real business world as well I started with the Alex Hormozi Podcast. It's around 650 episodes long and I'll be mostly sharing stuff from there for now The first 150 episodes focus more on a gym owner perspective before switching over to more pure sales and marketing, but it still very valuable for a newbie like me. A little something from today: Value equation : Value = Significance of Outcome multiplied by likelihood of archivement divided by time and effort Your product's value in the customers eye can be calculated by understanding how deeply they value what you are offering them , multiplied by how likely is it that you can make reality that result for them, divided by how much struggle it takes from their part . And that is one factor that's on their mind when deciding if to pay the amount you're asking

From Leo's Blog: [...] If these sorts of posts seem odd or grifty to you, I'm making an effort to share my favorite products. Something simple and practical. Not everything is about philosophy. Sometimes your life is just improved by finding the right spatula, USB cable, or screwdriver. I am passionate about finding and sharing the perfect products. Finding a perfect product is one of life's simple joys. They are like physical life hacks that pay dividends for years to come. Finding perfect products is not trivial and takes work. I've made a mini hobby of it. Hell, you could make a whole career or LP out of it. I try to find the perfect song, the perfect paper towel, the perfect hot sauce, the perfect toothpaste, the perfect drinking glass, the perfect fork. Being a perfectionist is a curse but also has its benefits. So when I find the best stuff I share it here. Let's keep the bar high and avoid posting mediocre or low-quality items. Make sure it's items you've actually tried. When you share, please include at least a brief description of what the item is and why you love it or what makes it great --- One of my own finds to get the ball roling: Instant Pot Pressure Cooker (2.7L for singles) This pressure cooker features a high-quality stainless steel interior, a programmable timer for delayed cooking, and the ability to cook virtually anything quickly and efficiently. Perfect for lentils, rice, meat, soups, potatoes, and steamed vegetables (if you add a steam basket). It even cooks frozen foods without hassle. Pressure cooking is one of the fastest ( and most likely retains the most nutrients) methods for cooking due to science! (It raises the boiling point of water from 100°C/212°F to around 120°C/250°F.) Plus, it's super easy to use, clean, and maintain, and it’s as safe as pressure cooking gets. If you prioritize raw nutrition and convenience over presentation, the Instant Pot is a game-changer for healthy eating. It saves time, effort, and even money by simplifying meal prep. --- BONUS : Sagami 0'01 Condoms as thin as a hair, polyurethane actually transfers temperature unlike latex, feels close to the real deal. Make sure your girl is adecuately moist to avoid rupture. Share your finds below! Whether it's the perfect pair of headphones, an amazing cleaning product, or your fave warm socks, we want to hear about it. --- Someone with spare time could recompile Leo's favorite finds into a separate post, and maybe we could pin it at the top of this section for easy access.

maybe for decoration but I wouldnt use it for liquids. It's probably full of toxic stuff

the best moment to take down a tree is when its still a sapling;)

I hope he makes it. Very smart dude. Hasn't he been bedridden for a long time now

Who doesn't like the idea that "You are God?"

Alternative perspective here. Its a complex issue actually .Maybe it wouldn't be a good idea. This dude knows his sh*t

Has your opinion on this recently changed? You used to say that you can actually fully grasp all of Reallity – completely. I guess it's a paradox and strange loop.

You guys are projecting a lot onto Hormozi. Hes not being clearly understood here. Been following him a long time. He's as high quality as orange gets. Hes passionate about teaching and doing business. He does it for its own sake. His life purpose is to make serious business knowledge accessible to everyone. He's also a philanthropist and he gives away all of his knowledge basically for free. Consider that he's fully transparent and not "acting" in this video – period. Try not to project other toxic orange marketer traits and tendencies on him

Core characteristics of ambush predators: Camouflage: Ability to blend into the environment to avoid detection by prey. Stealth: Minimal movement and silent approach to remain unnoticed. Patience: Willingness to wait for extended periods until prey comes within striking distance. Sudden Attack: Rapid and explosive movement to capture prey quickly. Precision: Accurate and well-timed strikes to ensure successful capture. From Leo's Blog: The irony would be if the camaraman got snatched by another croc for walking up to the place where the baboon just got snatched.

Haha, this one made me sit up from my chair so I can sit down again The ego thinks it owns Intelligence The ego loves to puff its chest and say, “I am intelligent. I figured this out. I created this. It’s MY insight.” Ridiculous. It’s like a puppet thinking it’s the puppeteer. The ego wants to personalize Intelligence, to say “it’s mine” like it’s some kind of personal asset. But Intelligence isn’t personal. The ego wants to reduce it to a possession, but Intelligence is actually formless and unlimited. Look around. It’s like trying to own the entire ocean by cupping water in your hands, when you yourself are made out of water. It’s like trying to own the Wi-Fi signal just because your device is picking it up. What about the towers, bro? But of course, You are the Tower. 😉 Intelligence is flowing through you. You’re not intelligent. It’s not something you possess. you tune into it. Actually, the more you try to own it, the more you choke it. Trying to own intelligence is like trying to own the air you breathe. Stop hoarding air! Allow it to go in and out. The ego’s ownership game is just a weird, unnecessary middleman that cuts you off from the flow. Let’s not go full woo-woo here though. There’s definitely a strange loop, paradoxical relationship between your physical brain, your genetics, and the magnitude of intelligence you’re able to tap into, your baseline and capacity to develop it. Same goes for awareness. It’s not something the ego owns lol. it’s what you actually are. But the Mind has the capability of self-fooling, deceiving, and forgetting… so eventually you can surprise yourself with a cool gift. 😂 Also, it’s healthy for your self-esteem and confidence if you want a healthy ego to loosely identify with these qualities. No need to base your entire self-worth on being intelligent, or even more intelligent than others, or getting recognition for displaying intelligence. If you insist, it’ll come back to bite you in the ass, triggering you whenever you feel your intelligence-identity is threatened. But don’t be ruthless with your survival though. Keep your feet on the ground. No need to be a woke brokie. Be smart and pragmatic with how you handle your work and creativity related economics. --- As I’m working on bizz and generating content and ideas I feel my ego acting up being scared, angry and bitter of people copying my insights, work, strategies, marketing, etc. But actually, that's the raw nature of Survival. And bizz is modern Survival. It's ruthless and everything goes. Even laws don't really save ya. Also it puts me in scarcity mindset, as if there was a limited amount of good or new ideas or ways of packaging insights and information that work. No! Creativity is infinite and literally right now there are billion-dollar ideas hidden in plain sight. There is an endless ammount of creativity to tap into. And there always will be. Do you identify with being intelligent?

Olimpic levels of mental gymnastics are requiered, AKA Whatifalthist, conspiracy theorists, religious fanatics, cult-people...

I don't think it's entirely true. You can definitely influence, inspire or invite to change I have an intuition you should tinker with healing. Don't ask how, just do it;) Start at 21:05
