You should chase living an authentic life aligned with your top values, your top passions, helping spread truth, consciousness, love, and beauty across the Universe via which ever way most excites you and suits your unique strengths and talents.
You are right that you should not just sit around twiddling your thumbs. You should be constantly working on your life purpose and evolving yourself towards that end.
Life is short. Don't squander it sitting around in confusion and inaction.
False success is chasing what others tell you is good.
True success is devoting your life to expressing the Love that you have for the world in your unique way, and doing so skillfully and eagerly.
False success will not make you happy, but true success will.

He could not break his mind out of materialism and realism.

@KGrimes Your problem is very simple, you are hitting on too few girls. When your numbers are so low you will constantly be frustrated because the reality is that this is a numbers games. If you hit on 5 girls a year, chances are that none of them will pan out no matter how good you are. If you hit on 1000 girls per year, now you'll get some results.
Talk to more girls. Don't expect any one of them to pan out. Don't focus on attracting any one girl -- that's just a recipe for misery. Girls will be extremely fickle and flakey until they sleep with you. So the trick is to hit on lots of girls and don't hold your breath for anyone particular one to sleep with you. Majority of them won't.
It's just like sales. It is foolish to hinge your entire business on one customer. Your business should be structured such that you are so busy no particular customer matters. You shouldn't need any customer's business and you should be willing to lose it without a hint of threat to your business.
The paradox is that when you structure your business this way, more people will want to buy from you. And more girls will want to sleep with you.
That's creating abundance vs being stuck in scarcity. It's counter-intuitive and girls will tell you they don't want that. But practice they love it because it os am honest signal of a high value guy. A high value guy has lots of options and girls can smell it and they LOVE the smell even though they will deny it if explicitly asked about it.

Depends on your time horizon. In 500 years mankind will be unrecognizably more evolved.

   Conservativism is not a fear based political ideology. Conservativism is rooted in conservation, and the need to conserve systems. Conservativism done right preserves systems and safe guards against changes too fast or too rushed, which can lead to civil unrest, to civil war. So, what is happening with Conservativism? Most modern conservatives I see mistreat conservatism, and add values more from traditionalists and Republicanism, with some nationalism and patriotism, even some from religion.

This is shadow work 101.
Basically the child's mistake (now that's he's an adult) is to disown the fact that being abusive is not just a thing "others" do, but that he is also capable of it. By realizing that being abusive is also a part of him, he can integrate it and heal. Otherwise he will forever be resentful because he feels that abuse should not have happened to him because he would never do such a thing himself. But the truth is that he would do such a thing himself if he was placed in that situation.
At an even deeper level he can become conscious that all the abuse that exists in the Universe is literally his own self.
With deep enough consciousness you will realize that whoever abused you, was actually your own self! So you abused yourself. And when you realize that, you can forgive yourself, accept yourself, and heal.
Try to fathom this: you literally ARE every rapist in the world who has ever lived. Rape is not something some "other" "bad guys" do. Rape itself is construction of your own Universal Mind. When you realize this, you stop disowning rape, and you accept yourself as a rapist (even if your human body has never raped anyone). It doesn't matter what your human avatar did or didn't do. Once you realize you are the whole Universe, anything that occurs in the Universe is part of you. Since your true identity is Infinity, that means you are a rapist.
If you are God, and God is Everything, then God is rape, and you are rape.
A bitter pill to swallow
But should you swallow it, you will become Whole.
What parts of yourself are you disowning? Hint: everything that you consider "not-me".

Self enquiry, vipassana, yoga. Long practices.
Psychedelics. You have to stop playing around and just decide to change. Your not weak...stop acting like it

It's racist that you aren't sexually attracted to goats.
How dare you!

This!
Marrying a Puerto Rican woman don't mean shit.
The mind is clever enough to compartmentalize and make such justifications as part of its self-deception.
"Look, I can't be a heartless rich person because I donate money to the poor once a year." Lol. The mind is masterful at such bullshit.
A slave-owner might genuinely tell himself, "How can I be a racist when I have sex with my slaves? And I treat them so well!"
The mind will never accept the label "racist" because it's far too ugly to admit that. So denial all the way to the grave.

I explain much of this in: How Society Evolves.
IQ is less a function of race and more a function of social development and wealth.

@Ampresus Relative to what? Pizza and fries?
Questions of healthiness are always relative to what you're comparing to.
And canned tuna ain't the same thing as fresh wild Alaskan salmon.
The biggest concern with fish is heavy metal toxicity. You shouldn't eat too much of it.
Stay away from predatory fish like swordfish, tuna, mackerel, shark, bass, etc. as they contain the most heavy metals. Smaller fish are generally safer than bigger fish.

There are many degrees of quality to psychology. It can be done poorly, it can be done exceptionally.
The trick is that you cannot have an accurate understanding of psychology without personal experience jailbreaking your own mind, which requires excellent grasp of epistemology, metaphysics, and spirituality.

My diet is not relevant to you because I have unique healthy conditions and some disorders.
I also change my diet a lot as I test various things.
The healthiest diet for most people is plant based whole foods.

Zen is a hyper-macho old-school Japanese tradition. And Stage Blue isn't known for its light-heartedness.
Religious purists tend to be the serious sort.

Well here at actualized.org you are the only one denying it. You are the one with the problem. I don't see any of the other posters denying the simple fact that everyone is a racist to some degree.

Everyone is a racist to some degree. Failing to see this is self deception or denial.
Saying that Everyone is a racist to some degree is not normalizing racism. It is understanding it. It is acknowledging that it is an intrinsic part of being a human being. It is self acceptance and self love.

Cast iron skillets are awesome. You need to season them before use and do it occasionally again (not after every meal) but they are amazing and really fun way of cooking. Can put them in the oven too. 

Yes, it certainly is.
But that is not the same as a girl giving you advice about how to attract girls or how to be a man.
A girl can tell me her perspective, but I don't need her advice for how to do what men do. She has no clue about that and will give bad advice. She does not understand the obstacles that men face in this domain and the pragmatics of the situation.

Tony is geared toward stage Orange people. If you are just entering stage Orange then you will love Tony and he will be useful to you.
But once you outgrow that, you should move on.
Tony was useful to me in my stage Orange phase 12 years ago.
Always remember, the most popular teachers are never the best. And he is the most popular. So that should tell you everything you need to know before you even buy his stuff.

Mostly: religion
It's made 50% of the country morons.

@dflores321 Of course trying to escape your job is harder and more stressful than not doing so.
If this was not the case, everyone would escape. But very few do.
Realistically, to escape wage slavery requires working twice as hard as other people work.
When I escaped my job I was working so hard, nonstop, days, nights, weekends, holidays -- it was so emotionally stressful I would just cry sometimes. It was extremely difficult. But here's the kicker: it was the best thing I ever did for myself.
You get from life what you put into it.
"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation."
In the end it all boils down to what you're willing to put up with. You're willing to settle for a shitty life and boring job -- that's exactly what you'll get.
Personally, I would rather kill myself than work a boring job my whole life. Which is exactly why I was able to create an alternative for myself. I refused to settle. The pain of escaping wage slavery was high for me, but the pain of surrendering to a boring job was higher.

I dunno why but I imagined this being read by Ewan mcgregor on trainspotting haha!  Like a choose life for stage green. 

of course this quote is about choosing all of these things instead of drugs... but it’s kinda stage orange? Or perhaps just society on all levels lol 
 

green luxury: tesla, latest tech from silicon valley that focuses on a healthy lifestyle, solar energy and energy saving tech, luxury backpacking trips and exotic travel to see gorillas and natural wonders, luxury spiritual retreats, latest diet supplements and procedures focused on health over cosmetic, expensive clothes that is artistic but not mainstream high fashion, etsy, high quality food, certain types of fine art like ones that are about helping the environment, masters degrees and excessive university programs 

Certainly that's part of it. But, no, it goes much deeper than that for me.
My brain is literally wired for psychedelics. Any psychedelic is 2-3x more potent for me than other people, and perhaps not just potency but also qualitative differences too. It's hard to compare qualitative differences so I can only speculate there.
Basically any starting dose of psychedelic for me is a crazy breakthrough. 2g of mushrooms, 120ug of LSD, 15mg of 5-MeO-DMT, 70mg of DPT, a few puffs of DMT, etc.
And at higher doses my trips are simply unreal in their strength and holism.
I've friends and others take psychedelics without anything near this reaction. I would say that their reaction is 10x less than mine would be at their dose. Not just less quantitatively but qualitatively.
To be honest, it feels like I was born on this Earth to consume psychedelics. Like God designed my brain specifically for that purpose. You can call that delusional, but I've tripped enough at this point to feel that there is a deep intelligence behind my discovery of psychedelics and I know for a fact that my spiritual journey would be incomplete without them. They were not some side-show or distraction for me. They were CORE to my spiritual growth.
Now, that does not mean you are the same. That may not be true for you.
All of my deepest wisdom came from psychedelics. I know for sure that I could not get it otherwise. Maybe some other people could, but I could not. And in the end I gotta do what works for me. But I suspect it will work for thousands of other people too. But not all people.

The hilarious thing about this whole situation is that Megan doesn't even look black! If I saw her walking down the street I would assume she's white. I didn't know she was black until this story broke.
Their kid is gonna look so white that it's moot.
Which does not speak well about the royal family. If they could not stomach someone who looks this white, just imagine their reaction if Harry brought home a 100% black girl. The queen would have a heart attack
Russell Brand has darker skin than Megan, Lol.
