I'll ask this now, and maybe I'll ask a better worded question later as it's late. How about those that are newbie to intermediate? I'm with you on most of the material covered here on actualized.org and videos, and on the highest teachings I still am even though it is challenging to stay open minded, I still stay humble about getting them and doing the inner work. Is there still a place for me here to visit from time to time? I'm not as defensive as I was in the past. Also wondering, for those with stronger disagreements, are they allowed to visit later in the future, if their current development doesn't let them be as open to the highest teachings? Also a good time to ask about the future of the forum?

The classic recipe for a bad relationship is when it starts triangulating, between two lovers and the one doing the affair. It mostly ends very badly for those in the affair. Axe as soon as possible. At least the only thing hurt is feelings. Also good example to always screen for these stuff.

In other words, what I've said before but more politely. This isn't my style of communication of being blunt, but it's similar. The ego mind is really crafty, it can even use this to seek revenge for past wrongs, under the current situation. It almost torn my family apart when we had to deal with a dead family member. It can also use bluntness as way to shelter itself from any perceived wrong it coule of had. It's also possible that, because we don't have definitive proof, Soohei might still be alive, but is using this opportunity to troll,and hope to get his account banned. Who knows? I've known stories of some who will use any lie to damage the other at any cost, taking advantage of the situation, while looking and sounding innocent. Has anyone reading now considered other possibilities other than going straight to concluding and trusting OP? However, like I've stated, sometimes assuming this is true is safer, so once again I offer condolences, if this really did happen.

@something_else Plus the 10,00 hour rule and deliberate practice, and it's possible to memorize half a library.

@Nahm Is a memory and thought the same?

@Jon_Bundesen Well, in that case I could give unsolicited advice about improving your vision/visualization abilities. One way is to keep visualizing about an amazing life, with your life domains met. Also, do more specific visualizations that force you to layer more sensory information, like mental sounds and feelings. For example, while seeing what's possible with the over arching vision, you focus on say the fitness domain. Don't just see the results in your body or what appearance the tools look like, but also feel the texture of the weights you use, then the lightness/heaviness of the exercise tools you use, the music in the background, your cheering yourself up. The more you focus on the process, the more vivid it is in your mind, the easier it is to do the activities.

Sorry to hear about the loss. He always had some good posts here about spirituality. I've suffered a similar situation in the past when a family member died, so I hope you guys go through your grief cycle without too much turmoil, because it can sometimes be chaotic. Hopefully, may this be a lesson to screen earlier for any indications for serious mental health, and more disclaimers and warnings about following the teachings here. Also to solipsists and nihilists here, there's more to life than it being meaningless or pure imagination. There's still the relative world of the living and physical, where people still have to deal with loss, I noticed I'm very tempted to also put blame on Leo or mods for not doing enough to prevent this from happening, and for sharing very advanced spiritual teachings about death, life, infinity and god straight forwardly and bluntly without enough warnings. However, Who am I to put blame on people that I know too little about, and take this opening to attack some users like Leo or mods that I had some past grudges against? As soon as I was aware of this, I felt shame for being tempted. I hope those users still blaming, that they have some awareness knowing that whatever blame is coming from, to be aware that the blame should come from only the current situation, and not from some past grudge attempting to highjack this situation to attack Leo or mods. Please be respectful to those that lost Soonhei, to not use this as a way to get even against Leo or mods.

I was in a similar phase towards self help, with also procrastination. A vision towards some goal, or an over arching vision will help get most people out of backsliding, but until you learn to work with backsliding, it will still effect to some degree. Visions do help with generating motivation. I'm not sure if there would be a detailed explanation here about vision, without discussing life purpose course contents, so the best resources about vision are out there.

We would be discussing this differently if Destiny's opponent showed signs of mental disorder rather than stupidity, and it rubs me the wrong way if it was the former. Hell, it could also be that he has built up heavy metal toxicity, which does also effect speech and cognition, while looking outwardly normal and not like people who have mental disorders. I'll go with ignorance for my peace of mind instead.

@Roy I'm very tempted to agree with this possibility. I see he was having some difficulty in articulating his thoughts, something about that might be related to some kind of brain damage, but I don't know for sure.

@Opo Mutual understanding?

@Lyubov That could be the case lol!

If the states are being dismissed under the labels 'mystical experiences' instead of absolute truth, there I agree that isn't the case and is poor usage of the words. However, keeping in mind 1-10% and so of the world population does experience paranormal phenomena, I would not be quick to discount 'mystical experiences' as those do happen from time to time, nor diminish their significance to groups or a person who may have little to no frame work to help them know of such events. Hauntings, flickering lights, possessions, channeling, ESP abilities, and nightmares are some examples of mystical experiences, sober, altered consciousness or on psychedelics could be experienced. Yes, while mystical experiences are significant, they are not the only things. As long as anybody isn't losing sight to pursue god realization, then enjoy or brace for any mystical experiences that may or may not happen, or training yourself for mystical experiences if it rings good for you. So good luck!

@Advocate I have that as well. It really is annoying to have, every time I fap. Also, abstinence actually helped me more on my LP, as some of the benefits gave me that much more energy.

Like this video. His take on what a real man is funny, and inaccurate, but if he was more specific and said that a man not prepared to be ruthless is not a real man, he could make that case.

@Raze Thanks to you and Frank, Leo released an advanced explanation of god realization. Without this coming up, we would've had a different video. So thanks.

@Endangered-EGO Just like a habit, it's not that easy to break. I had to struggle a bit to take a break from meditating and thinking, and be back to living in different parts of my life. Give it time, and some persistence, and give yourself the break you need and enjoy life. Then later, when you come back to spiritual part of life, you are fresh enough to take on a bit more.

The more I watch and think about it, the more the advanced teachings are like tulpamancy.

@fopylo I think it has some connection to his god realization, somehow. When you get access to infinity, you melt away and become everything, including everything sexual. Maybe from the coming down, he wants to explore more of his god sexuality, so what's the best way to do that so far? One of these would be watching porn vids, or porn mags, because you get a broader selection to choose from, whatever kink, and degree of dominance/intimacy that attracts. Like running through multiple simulations, you get to explore very quickly what does or doesn't attract you, with very little negative impact on yourself, as long as you remember to approach this with discipline and awareness, and you get to customize your preferences over time. You quickly learn what does or doesn't attract, and you can safely release your frustrations privately. Also, rather than risk releasing it in the real world, with a man or woman you don't know if this is what you're attracted to, or you're still not sure that this sex, or type of sexuality is your thing, or if you or the other are willing enough to follow through, worst case scenario is to find out right before, or while didi li doing the person in the bedroom, and get embarrassed, suffer erectile dysfunction, or worse. From this, pornography is like troubleshooting before doing the deeds, with really very little risk on your part, so that you are a bit more knowing and prepared for potential sex partners.

@Tim R That's actually quite good paintings he did. I didn't expect that level of skill from him. I can get why some people think these paintings lack soul, and I think it mainly has to do with the composition of the painting and how each shape is placed.

It's awful when that happens to some people. Spent time doing meanintful work, then later gets called names and stuff. If some people are not grounded, they get negatively affected, and quit early. Some can reframe and move on, but some can't. I especially feel sorry for lower to mid income earning locals that have to deal with decrease in lower to mid income jobs due to increase in immigration and less opportunities in available positions. Mix in advancements in technology and A.I taking over more labour based jobs, more people will struggle more.

@TheDao It does sound like that if he's willing to criticize Trump and Qanon, he might consider voting someone who's conservative to centrist.

@Enlightenment This is valid if there's no interest in going meta on the theorem, and going through the implications that this could have for the world and objectivity.

@TheDao In his older video he had a book about hitler in the background of his many books. Hitler is a goood exsmple of when someone quits too early in self actualisation, and takes on external purpose and values from some other group, while neglecting his own life purpose and values he internally pursues. Where's the video of Jordan criticising Trump and Qanon? No, you are just what this forum needs sometimes. Nothing more.

@Tech36363 Maybe take up some activity that helps you develop a perspective on those types of people. Learn to slip into those roles, and get used to how it looks, sounds and feels to you being like these people, and if they have some values, slip into those, and when you find yourself with such people, you can better manage them, and they won't be too repulsed by you, as in this point you have managed to calibrate to them. Of course, don't lose focus on your highest vision, or life purpose, and focus on that.
