@Felli Not quite true. Most people can develop skills without understanding what their actual life purpose is yet, so really you don't have to set the condition that you have to now learn, train any skill only after taking the life purpose course. Transferable skills I would highly focus on training, because it keeps you flexible in markets and shortens future training times/efforts for careers with relevant skills. As a throw away example, a transferable skill is drawing with writing mediums like pencils, pens, markers, pencil charcoals. Why? because those specific actions/activities, is transferable to using a digital pen on a pad, like the Wacom Intuos, for graphic design, 3d modelling, ect, that use the same/similar behaviors of drawing using a pencil. This off course isn't limited to drawing, any field has interconnections with soft skills. The same skills for tradition drawing, can be used for graphic design in digital arts, which can also be used for painting, which can be used for architecture, which is used for... Plus marketing research, marketing, ideas generating, business psychology, and you are good to pursue whatever life purpose you want.

@Ivan Dimi What is arrogant about @Arcangelo "s claim that if someone is dumb enough, they deserve the consequences?

@Raptorsin7 I hope to get married to a soulmate.

Here are a few sources about chinese face reading and astrology which is quite profound spiritually speaking. Worth some contemplation: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi95IqT9bv1AhXxmFwKHdVvD0cQFnoECCkQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scmp.com%2Fmagazines%2Fstyle%2Fleisure%2Farticle%2F3120953%2Fwhat-lucky-face-according-face-feng-shui-and-how-can-you&usg=AOvVaw3PvXfYrMctrIfvLInd7nK7

Here a source about Chinese face reading: https://www.philadelphia-acupuncture.com/chinese-medicine-face-reading/

Think about it. As social creatures, with eyes facing forward, we as ego can connect to other egos by looking at that ego's face, and vice versa. Through thousands of years of observation and record keeping, some ancient cultures, like China, has a collection on how a person's face reveals their latent potential as a human being. On top of that, they combined it with reading what the skies show them, in conjunction to what a person face is. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi95IqT9bv1AhXxmFwKHdVvD0cQFnoECCkQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scmp.com%2Fmagazines%2Fstyle%2Fleisure%2Farticle%2F3120953%2Fwhat-lucky-face-according-face-feng-shui-and-how-can-you&usg=AOvVaw3PvXfYrMctrIfvLInd7nK7 If a face is not significant in spirituality, then why do we sometimes feel empathy, or what another person feels, from just looking at what their face is making? When we see a sad face, sometimes we feel their sadness, and when we see a chuckling, laughing face, we can't help but feel that emotion, from that facial shape.

I'm actually liking this new schedule Leo has. Besides basic self help, less hours of talking about high abstract topics like psychology, philosophy, spirituality, ect, the better, because it gets tedious to take some time and energy off of my day to slot in an hour to 30 mins to watch a hours long video, then to spend 30 min to an hour or more of note taking, and hours of contemplating on that day, and repeat the cycle the nedt day on the next 30-1 hour segment of the video. One video every month or two, the quality would be higher, and less invasive of viewers time and mine. Don't forget as self actualizers we are pursuing a life purpose, so ideally a high amount of free time goes into training skills and habits to provide massive value later on, and unfortunately in the past part of my distraction, was also watching videos, not just cat videos, but Actualized.org videos, a bit more than focusing on building skills at that time. The new recent changes, I'm now getting to focus more on building skills instead.

@Batman In your perspective, this could be the case. However, for the majority of mankind, for some who haven't heard of spirituality, and some who haven't even practiced any spiritual techniques, they don't know of and realized no-self. For survival, in a social situation, a person is face to face with another. What is that face to face? it's the ego of one person, connecting and absorbing information from another ego's face, such that it can predict to some accuracy the potential of that person, from looking at their facial gestures, structures, and overall head shape. Leo's overall head shape that widens starting from the eyebrow ridge to the temples, and characteristic features of facial structure, is highly associated with people with some spiritual talent, and higher thought activity than normal, aka those more prone to philosophical thinking and comprehension. I've had a number of interactions with people face to face, and most of my observations line up with what Chinese face reading says about facial structures as I was observing that person and myself, and asked certain questions to verify. In fact, the strange thing about Chinese face reading, is if you bring up a list of faces who are criminals, and a list o faces of people with spiritual talent, and a list of faces of people whose personality type makes them biased to romance and love and long term relationships, a Chinese face reading professional can tell you with around 75% accuracy, the spiritual, or other domains of life potential of a person, from facial structure alone, plus from talking to them briefly and typing their personality types.

I've seen a movie called 'Don't look up' on Netflix. It's a good comedy movie about political ideology, misinformation, the epistemology of how the current social matrix handles a collective extinction, and some metaphysics, all told in a comedic format. If you haven't watched, I suggest watching it. For those who have, what are your thoughts about the movie?

@Illusory Self From my limited knowledge about zone of genius, I think it ties very closely to what is your uniqueness, who you are identified as a self image, and what actions/activities/field of interest comes easily to you, as if it's a natural trait of your being. It's also tied to your zone of excellence too. My zone of genius happens to correlate strongly with chess, drawing using other mediums like pencil, and video games and reading books and fanfiction. That's a specific list of fields of interest to me, and actions and objects. I then go further with the visualization and try to find the qualities and values I'm fulfilling behind those specific things. For example, with chess, I like to think forward and figure out a serious of moves before actually taking action on them, with drawing I like to construct mental spaces and locations and plant objects in it, in perspective. and video games I like for the fun, and I like reading stories because I get to see their world, and seeing how characters interact in their environment and with other characters in 2d/3d spaces. If I want to pinpoint and hone in on my specific zone of genius, I look at those three values and see what do they have in common? Chess and video games have in common, training my mind's ability to see in 3d and visualization. With Chess and drawing, I exercise how long I can hold each images of pieces and the board. I keep going, find the common value and skill development that each activity/action/field of interest is providing value and improving a skill, and that is very close to zone of genius. If you asked me what I find so easy to me, it's thinking in 3d, and constructing stories and generating interesting ideas.

R.I.P Bob Saget, you will be missed. Let's not dwell too much on speculation of how he died, but how he lived and inspired others.

@Ineedanswers Basic explanation, non non-dual answer here. For very practical, realistic and survival reasons, a person is not able to experience another person's sensory experiences, because if they did, their sense making load multiplies. If I'm able to see, hear and feel what 10 people see, hear and feel, not just the outside situation, but each of those ten people's cognition, sensory mental representations, states, morality, personality type, and value systems, then not only am I busy processing my own sense making and mental world view, but I have to process other people's world views and sense making! My sense of self would be even more divided and fragmented if I could literally experience what ten people literally experience, at all times, their states. This presents a HUGE PRACTICAL PROBLEM! Such a person would live comparably like what a person who has multiple personality disorder go through, survival would be soo much more difficult than it already is. Regardless if those ten people are in my sense making field, or if they are in a different location, outside my field of perception I'm at all times experiencing not only my life experiences, but each of their ten lives experiences. And that's just TEN PEOPLE! At all times, anywhere in the world.

@Epikur No, journalists are doing their job, it's just that Joe choses to niche down and do a comedic journalist take. However, he underestimates how some people misinterpret him being serious, when he's joking.

@HypnoticMagician Try the experiments yourself: go to a red room, and try doing mental tasks in there. Then, go do the same thing in a blue room, and tell us what you've experienced in the real world. If your imagination is good, then just imagining going into a room with strong hue and brightness of a colour would bee enough in strongly effect one's state and mood. Of course, it's not entirely objective, nor is it entirely subjective. It is both, plus cultural upbringing and life experiences that can vary to a degree each meaning in a colour for a person. One who sees red, experiences anxiety, would be different to another that experiences excitement seeing red, at the same time, under the colour of red is a set range of meanings of power, violence, passions, while also still variable as well ect. A few sources, and here's one of them: Haha Lung, and his book Mental Dominance. He also has worked in the Black science institute and studied various forms of manipulation, from physical to psychological, and in that book he covers briefly how colours effect some people's psychology to a degree. Another source, the colour psychology chart: While this is an extensive chart about each meanings associated with each colour, it is not completely representative of all meanings in a colour.

People keep forgetting Joe Rogan was a comedian, but he surprisingly was a comedian, which allowed him to be more open minded. Being a stand up comedian also helped improve his ability to speak to people, and ask interesting questions. He was doing God's work, bringing in interesting guests, but lately he's doing the devil's work. The pendulum always swings back and forth.

@Karmadhi Red does provoke power, as it is connected to the colour of blood. Sometimes, the provocation for some is too much, too aggressive, that it can make some people feel anxious. Too much red to me gives me headaches.

@Tristan12 As long as it feels authentic to not date, not deepen relationships, then anything else is moralizing yourself that you should date and deepen relationship. But if you actually don't authentically want it, then don't worry about it and don't change course pursuing it. If it feels off about your decision to not date or deepen relationships, then go and do that. It is possible to lead the good life, without having a highly developed sexuality and dating domain of life. Yes, there is a trade off in that you won't be as skilled in those areas, but there's also positive trade offs too. But it takes sime inner work to properly feel into the decision, whether it's genuine or not to not date or develop relationships. If leading the single life resonates witb you, go do that for a while.

@HypnoticMagician It doesn't have to be overwhelmingly powerful that it impedes one's functioning, but it has some degree of influence in one's cognition, states, value system, and how the mind adjusts parts of it's world view quickly. There was some research done on how colours effect psychology and performance. If you put two competitors in separate rooms, one blue, and one red, and each tasked with completing a mental test, they found that the ones that were in red themed rooms performed less than the ones in blue rooms. They continue, and found that people who did exercises, who wore red, performed slightly better, because the colour red stimulated that person's cardiovascular system slightly more. The following colours is what they found to have some effect on a person's mood mostly, and sometimes a physiological effect: Blue: calming, centered and cool. Red: agitation, passion, rage, flare. Yellow: calming, mellow, energetic. Purple: Relaxation, rarity, sophistication. Orange: Strength, alertness. Green: Skill, cleanliness and happiness. White: western culture: Goodness, purity, hope, peace. Eastern cultures: Evil, impurity, death, destruction. Black: Western culture: Death, despair, destruction, darkness, funerals. Eastern cultures: Heroic, hope, goodness. Also note that the vividness of the colour can decrease or increase the meaning of the colour to a person. A person who feels anxious when they see a red colour, would feel much more if that red is brighter and has more civid qualities, as opposed to a red that is much darker and less vivid. This is partly covered when studying NLP.

@Knowledge Hoarder I think what he meant with regret being a 'good thing' in motivating one towards changing some aspect of life, is it's like negative motivation. Eventually, sooner or later the regret generates so much suffering, that the person has to release that psychic tension in the mind/body at some point and start taking corrective action. Otherwise, it'll be an unhealthy catharsis, damaging not just the person but other people around them. Ideally, we all should be able to generate positive motivation inside us, but sometimes we can't and we end up negatively intrinsically motivating ourselves, so next best thing is extrinsic. Sometimes, even positive extrinsic motivation isn't enough, so it's off to negatively extrinsic motivation, which is either you sink, or swim, which I offer to those reading, you do not want to find yourself being negatively extrinsically motivated.

Nice share. It seems like it is the case with purpose, anyone can literally make a purpose for anything they want to manifest in the future. Taking action, and training towards getting that into the real world, is where it starts to differ.

In fact, there's no such thing as wasted time at all.

@somegirl The good news is, this is way too young an age to be complaining about dating and sexuality. Don't worry, you'll get enough life experiences to be able to date and find the right partner for you, you literally have too much time and energy to not screw this up. The bad news, you have to learn to discipline yourself about getting what you want.

@mmKay Yes, there is a psychology about how colours effect people.

Great that they are finally pursuing sedition charges against those involved in the insurrection attempt, except that it technically isn't a proper insurrection, more a bunch of angry alt right mobs, because if it really was a well planned insurrection attempt, then thousands of lives would've been killed in that day, So, if they charge everybody involved, from the ones who were at the site damaging property, to the ones premeditating the whole thing from behind the scenes, then it's going to be difficult because they can only really go after the ones who've actually on site, damaging stuff first. The best they can hope for is charging everybody involved, directly and indirectly, but is a lesser charge to Donald Trump and others who were hanging back for inciting the mob.
