4 years after my LP course, full circle back to lost (perspective needed)
4 years after my LP course, full circle back to lost (perspective needed)@George Fil Your commitment to finding and developing your purpose is admirable and not a lot of people have the kind of drive you clearly have.
I just want to reassure you that your situation is not uncommon. I personally had a similar experience. I completed an entire music bachelor's degree (3 years) to only loose interest in it after I had finished. I realised it wasn't what I wanted to do. I know you said you have an interest in music, I'm not commenting on that, i'm just explaining my situation. Music could absolutely be a fruitful path for you.
I then spent another 1.5 years trying to start an online business through Amazon. Had some mild success but nothing substantial - so I let it go. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours were put into those two things, and they were both dead ends for me.
I then spent another year feeling depressed and without any purpose whatsoever - applying to random jobs I didn't care about.
But then one day I realised that people literally get paid for drawing and making images. I'd always had a mild interest and some skill in drawing and illustration, but I didn't make the necessary connections. That possibility literally did not exist for me. Now its my number one priority.
But its really important to realise that your purpose/life/career etc is created by you, not discovered like you're trying to uncover a hidden treasure box. I only realised my life vision by trying a bunch of shit that didn't work and then completely and whole heartedly committing to creating that thing I can put 10k hours into. Because it is a creation. You have to be the sculptor of your life.
The process that you are going through, trying lots of things and failing, hitting dead ends etc, is the very process of finding your purpose. Keep going man! You got this!

Why this society?
Why this society?Not at all
Everyone has a different idea of love and peace.
One person's idea of love might be to rape you. BTW, Tibetan monks are notorious for raping young monk recruits.

What can be done to speed up the exhaustion of a desire?
What can be done to speed up the exhaustion of a desire?I agree.
To make my earlier point more nuanced, I would say that you overcome neediness and craving by allowing yourself to be fully satisfied by the thing you crave. So, if you really crave some hot sex, stop feeling guilty or reserved about it, HAVE IT! Have it so deeply and allow yourself to enjoy it so much that it fills that needy hole inside your soul.
And the way you prevent that from becoming an addiction is you always have your eyes towards something higher: Truth, Love, God, Consciousness, Life Purpose

My Insights After 10 Awakenings: Awaken Now!
My Insights After 10 Awakenings: Awaken Now!Every religion told you there is one God. Yet you still think there are many of them and that you somehow aren't THE ONE.
You can lead a mule to water but you can't make him drink.
You have no problem at all accepting that everyone in your dreams is just your own mental construction, yet in the dream of life suddenly it cannot be! Oh noes! And yet every guru worth his salt has told you life is a dream. Yet you still cling.
YOU invented OTHER! Silly.
The only thing you will ever find in this work is yourself.

Is the Greenpan any good, or will it poison me too?
Is the Greenpan any good, or will it poison me too?Whatever the coating is, it will scratch off and get into your food. Those coatings are not natural molecules, they are all highly synthetic. Eating that can't be good.
No one is claiming massive poisoning. The poisoning is mild and slow, over years and decades.
100s of millions of people suffer from all sorts of cancers, brain fog, fatigue, autoimmune conditions, depression, ADD, autism, mental illness, and the like.
The problem with such a situation is that you will get poisoned so slowly you won't even know what killed you or crippled your life after 10 years of chronic use.
Everything seems good until one day your health collapses and your life is crippled.

Being a nice guy versus being an arrogant dickhead
Being a nice guy versus being an arrogant dickheadGo approach 5000 women and go on dates.
The pain of women rejecting and dumping you for your weakness will make you strong. You are not going to learn this skillset other than through massive pain and rejection.
Get rejected so much you stop caring. Die inside from all your mistakes.
Rapport is built AFTER attraction already happened.
You need to learn basic pickup theory. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel. Attraction theory is 100% known and proven. Just study it. There is zero mystery to what attracts women.
No

Traumatic Failure - “Leave, you’re being a creep”
Traumatic Failure - “Leave, you’re being a creep”You're missing this key: Attunement to her subjective reality.
Success in attraction is not just about not giving a shit and saying crazy things. It's about keen awareness of the woman's emotional state, situational awareness, and being able to attune yourself to the social environment.
This is what keeps you from coming off as a madman and freaking people out. Don't say things which don't fit the subjective reality of the woman you're talking to. You need to meet her where she's at rather than bombarding her with your I-don't-give-a-fuck attitude.
When a woman tells you you're being a creep, that's a clear sign you're not attuned to her subjective reality and you're acting weird. You are not respecting the rules of the social game.

Is it normal to feel like THIS after you jerk off??
Is it normal to feel like THIS after you jerk off??It's hard to draw simplistic conclusions. This stuff can be very complex.
Sometimes I had porn, sometimes I didn't. Didn't really matter.
Back in the 90's porn was pretty low quality and hard to access. Zoomers are so spoiled today.
My sex drive has nothing to do with porn.
And actually, I was very careful not to waste my life energy on pursuing sex.
What you guys fail to consider is that pursuing real life women is a WAY bigger waste of time and energy than jerking off to porn. The amount of life energy lost in the drama of relationships and physical sex is incalculable. The time that the average guy wastes in dumb relationships and dating, I invested that time in my life purpose, philosophical contemplation, and career/business.
You think I got to where I am today by wasting time on having a bunch of sex? While you were having sex, I was contemplating the nature of existence.

Universe vs Beyond Universe
Universe vs Beyond UniverseStop masturbating and do the hardcore spiritual practice.
You will not get anywhere without rigorous practice.
Sit down and do 10 days of non-stop one-pointed concentration. And if you're not willing to do that then you should just stop pursing spirituality because you will just chase your tail in circles and get no results.

Shunyamurti... cult?... probs: Reviews
Shunyamurti... cult?... probs: ReviewsWorrying about the end of the world is silly. The whole point of awakening is to not give a fuck about such things. If the world ends, it ends. No point thinking about it.
BTW, human civilization is more peaceful and better than ever. There has never been a better time to be alive. Don't let Shunya bullshit your with his stories.
I asked him when human civilization was better. He said in the ancient times. I told him 40% of the ancient Roman population were slaves. He just handwaved my objection away. That little fact didn't fit his worldview so well.
Human civilization is better than ever and it ain't going anywhere. So buckle in and enjoy the ride.

What's the physical mechanics needed to have ZERO RESISTANCE
What's the physical mechanics needed to have ZERO RESISTANCEA radical change in your state of consciousness is necessary.
The human mind would basically have to die. You would have to experience a death so deep you surrender survival itself.
You will not accomplish this through any trick or manipulation. You have to actually surrender the entire game of life.

ROCKSTAR-Diet Request
ROCKSTAR-Diet RequestTry 2-4 weeks raw veggies/fruits and compare with 2-4 weeks beef/chicken. That would give you a clean baseline. Then you could experiment with others things like grains or dairy. Find which food groups work worst for you and then avoid them for life.

ROCKSTAR-Diet Request
ROCKSTAR-Diet RequestI get max consciousness and alterness on 100% carnivore.
It's pretty unbelievable.
You have to experiment with elimination dieting to find what works best for your body.
Definately kill the bread and heavy refined carbs. That is the single biggest performance killer.

Dear Leo, have you ever encountered an abusive relationship?
Dear Leo, have you ever encountered an abusive relationship?I was never a pickup coach.
I've known many women with abusive relationships.
My ex girlfriend was handcuffed to a door for weeks and fucked at gun point.
So yeah, most you guys don't even understand what an abusive relationship is.

Say Hello To Our New Mods!
Say Hello To Our New Mods!One of the new functions of all Mods, new and old alike, is to keep an eye out of dangerous/reckless activity on this forum.
What this means is, lock down threads and discussions which involve overly risking/reckless use of psychedelics or other methods which could lead to obvious harm or death. And post messages which inform the general public that such activities are dangerous and not what this forum or Actualized.org is about.
Our values here are about healthy and responsible use of psychedelics and other spiritual methods. Nothing that harms the body or leads people into clear danger (like taking 1000ug of LSD).
If you see someone who is unraveling in an unhealthy way, guide them to temporarily suspend their spiritual work until their mind and life stabilizes.
We want to cultivate an ethos of safety around here. We do not want to be associated with anything clearly reckless or dangerous.
And if people are talking seriously about Mahasamadhi, lock that down too. Nobody here should be considering Mahasamadhi.
And if you find anyone being suicidal you report that to me.

If the dating market is a market, then why it's not regulated,at least online dating
If the dating market is a market, then why it's not regulated,at least online datingAnd how about empathy for women struggling to find stable long-term male providers?
How about we regulate the dating market such that you cannot sleep with a woman unless you show the government your bank account. And if your bank account has less then $100k cash, no sex for you.
The framing of this entire thread is itself sexist and deeply male-biased. It ignores the reproductive difficulties and agenda of women. Because this thread is just another lame attempt at making excuse for not talking to girls.
The excuses you guys invent are truly crafty. Anything to not talk to a girl.
You feel entitled to sex but you don't feel the need to work for it.
Regulating capitalism is a lot easier than regulating dating. Capitalism already has regulations in place, so tightening those regulations is reasonable and doable. And the excesses of capitalism affect all genders, races, peoples, rather than one segment of the population.

Understanding Relativism and the Validity of All Perspectives
Understanding Relativism and the Validity of All PerspectivesRelatively is another name for separation or duality.
Its a fictional story in which an individual living in a world of meaning, purpose and value, endlessly strives for fulfillment in the future.
In that relative dream story the individual never finds what's truly longed for because what's truly longed for is the end of feeling separate.
What's longed for is the end of ME that feels separate, incomplete or lacking.
The cosmic joke is that "the separation never occurred" -ACIM
It was only a dream story all along.

Disclosure of Extraterrestrial Life
Disclosure of Extraterrestrial LifeBasically do the work to move up the Spiral Dynamics stages. As we all move up the stages stuff like racism, selfishness, hatred, judgment, violence, war, terrorism, corruption, etc will all dramatically reduce. We don't really need aliens to help us with that. I doubt they even can.
Also, we need more material wealth and economic development. Much of the world is simply held back from developing themselves psychologically and spiritually because they lack basic safety and material conditions. You cannot self-actualize in a warzone.
You don't have to re-edit it unless you want to.

I feel that Leo hasn't really explained how the universe is Good
I feel that Leo hasn't really explained how the universe is GoodIt is not subjective at all.
Reality is Absolute Perfection when you look at with a high enough degree of consciousness, free from all of your biases and attachments.
God did not make any mistakes. That's what's so astounding about awakening. It is unbelievably Good.
