Would you come to Australia if we crowd funded your travel + accommodation. I know it is a long way, but there are a lot of Actualizers in Australia, so I think it is possible that Aussie's would support it. @Leo Gura

Great idea!

@Inliytened1 So Hitler wanted to influence the world, alter it to align with his beliefs. After "becoming god", is there still a desire to influence the world in some way?

Really interesting point.

I started waking up early today at 4:30am, I have a cutoff time for activity at 7:30, and read until I'm tired. This morning I was really tempted to do a yoga practise; this is something I have been trying to incorporate into my routine but have not been able to uphold discipline with. I feel motivated to make this change; I have been piecing together a dream board (as suggested by @Nahm), each time I look at what my life is about, I start to feel good emotionally in my body. I also do the occasional visualisation, in a rather informal way (maybe whilst laying down before I go to sleep, whilst working in the garden), but I think that they do help and it becomes really exciting experiencing what my mind is capable of creatively. I feel like I could handle implementing a yoga practice along with my morning routine, due to the added motivation of the dream board, visualisations and interestingly the material I consume. But I have attempted to implement many things at once into my life at a time and it has often ended up in me binge eating and becoming a lazy slob. But during these times I did have nothing to motivate me. How do I know that a routine has been cemented into my life?

@Nahm Thankyou very much. This makes a lot of sense.

I live really close to here.

Thank you so much for this post, I really resonated with how you mentioned loving the "childlike" parts of yourself that do unconscious things. Do you think delaying experience in your life was a good idea? I am 19 and am planning to do more serious psychedelics around 23 years of age, when I am more mature and on purpose.

When I was younger I used to hypothesize that Leo was some kind of Academic scientist, and his videos were some kind of experiment on the suggestibility of the human mind.

The work, in my experience, isn't about pushing and shoving to get somewhere. It is slow, and almost all internal. Yes if you go for a run today you may burn some calories, but you may want some chocolate tomorrow and have no reason not to binge. Remember what Leo says about vision, start to cultivate that vision. Your mind probably doesn't want to, and because you have a habit of pushing and shoving yourself to do "productive" things, it may even hurt your head trying to picture what you want. My advice is to just get the vision ball rolling, and allow the process to become slow, Ernest and introspective. You don't like reading, meditating etc. Okay, what do you like? Ffs there has to be something, think back time when you felt creatively inspired or felt like you were I evolved in something genuinely worthwhile. And then begin that exploration.

This is wicked - keep it up homie.

I think it is okay to resonate with Leo as a teacher, and be really enthusiastically interested in what he has to say, and the example that he portrays. But at the end of the day, and as Leo has said himself, we have no clue whether he is a con artist or a Sage or something in between. -- Eventually we all must flee the nest, we must do our own exploration and do it as intensely as Leo has.

"This work is not about belief... You will believe me for a few years and then realise you have made a terrible mistake." - Leo Gura How can a set of suggestions, one of which being "do not believe these suggestions, think for yourself" be the ideology behind a cult? This doesn't make sense to me at all. I am not saying that I am biased by Actualized.org, but I just see these biases that I pick up on as beliefs that I have not inspected yet.

The fact that this video is angers me is clearly an issue that I need to address

@Dutch guy Thankyou so much.

At Kapooka you will definitely not find time to meditate. I haven't been myself, but I too was considering joining; I watched a video made by someone who has completed the Kapooka bootcamp/enlisting process, and said that the only time you get to reflect is during the 10 minutes you have to eat. Maybe you could become like a military leader, and integrate your passion for self development with your passion for civil defence. Have a look at how Sadghuru has integrated yoga into the military (see attached video). How might the Aussie army, or military in general benefit from doing something similar to this? How might personal development process effect the way that military is conducted throughout the world? How might military endeavours look if we had conscious leaders who are passionate about self-improvement (like yourself)? Also, this was the series that I looked at when I entertained the idea of enlisting. But I don't know how old you are, so the process may be different if you are over 18 (which I am not). Good luck homie. Peace

Do you think that video games is the best thing for the world?

This is wicked - cheers. After I finish Leo's life purpose course, I am really motivated to move onto Ken Wilber's courses. Have you done Full-Spectrum Mindfulness? If so, can you share how it was for you?

@Waken Thankyou so much for this. This is a really awesome insight.

I would say lots of quinoa, fruit, and ditch the OJ for extra space for vegetables. Good luck <3

@TrynaBeTurquoise Thankyou friend

Today a girl I really liked told me that she did not want to pursue a romantic relationship with me. This was a new experience to me, as I have always been the one to remove myself from relationships. At first, I read the words and it hurt me. I realised what people meant when they said "broken heart", as it almost physically hurt within my chest. I inquired into this feeling into my chest, and got the sense that I was creating it. Like my personal view of this girl did not align with the change that occurred in reality, so then it caused pain. The word "attachment" also showed up in this situation, I was attached to the idea of being in a relationship with this girl, and I really liked her and what she stood for. This gave me empathy for people who go through divorces, and breakup with their partners after years of commitment... Ouch. Feeling through the experience allowed me to tolerate what was happening, and now it feels like I my focus has come back to transforming my life. I think I was a little bit needy at times, but not overtly, it was just that I would be the one to text first and ask if she wanted to catch up, and I would do this a couple times a week. Through questioning, various practices and focusing my attention onto what is important to me in life, I am sure that these boundaries will become clearer.

No social media simplifies things. The people you truly want in your life have your number, and all the other distractions are eliminated. But if you think posting on social media adds value to your life then go for it.

If the crops are genetically modified, proteins can form in the plant that are foreign to the plant. The immune system sees this as a foreign invader, and in the process attacks its own tissue. (I read this in relation to gluten in a book by Sarah Blum M.D, but I think the principle could potentially still apply.)

Have you heard of Transpersonal Psychology; maybe something you'd like to check out.
