OP i'd go watch David Tian, and do some depth psychotherapy. I think this fascination with red pill is just your trauma talking.

Another thing, is it wise to ask cult members if they are in a cult? They would probably say no because they are in a cult.

Lol come on, he was banned for giving really unhelpful, and contextually strange advice again and again and again after warnings. I get your point about the issue of Leo ego. I agree. Makes me constantly hesitant about my engagement with the forum.

Imo, red pill is devastatingly dumb. Go do pickup if you're in that sort of paradigm at least. I think that is even too toxic. Red pill is people jacking each other off to strange bedtime stories about the world.

Sounds healthy. I'd check out, 'When I say no I feel guilty' to validate your desired action

Anyone got any advice on dealing with dyslexia? Thanks in advance

@JosephKnecht Everything is a projection at a certain layer of analysis. To get to the inside you have to understand the outside sufficiently. I.e. Generally, you wouldn't do the necessary work, unless you heard someone tell you what the necessary work was.

I believe its because many people live simply inhumane lives. Without the drug of caffeine, people could not function adequately.

Transmission? What do you mean by that?

My dude, we watch the same content for sure. Was gonna recommend that first link too! Tian is the man!

@StarStruck What level is your therapist btw?

I see. Had something in mind if you struggled with reading. Re not feeling many emotions, I'm sort of in a similar boat except I feel 0 emotions. Except for anxiety when I see people I've had conflict with, and anger when someone pushes past my boundaries and my defence mechanisms to my boundaries. Re IFS, I'd advise trying to get as a high a level IFS practioner as possible (Level 3 = Highest). One from here: https://ifs-institute.com/practitioners. Funding wise: - https://youarerad.org/therapy - https://psychosynthesistrust.org.uk/counselling/low-cost-psychosynthesis-counselling/ (somewhat similar method to IFS) ---------------------------------------------------------- Also, would you say your a controlling person? I.e. You seek certainty a lot in your life with things. For example, certainty of good marks on a test.

Also, @Leo Gura, on another note, what are your thoughts on doing an/ some actualized.org in-person event(s)? I recall a few years ago you floated the idea around.

Hey, I came across the forum yesterday. I spoke to someone who mentioned they were joining it (they didn't try and recruit me). I checked it out, and it was an almost exact replica of this forum. My first thought was that it was setup as a sort of revenge against this forum. Appreciate this dude ^ I get this must be difficult to do. Kudos for doing this. The cult issue, to me at least, is a v tricky one to avoid with the sort of work on here, I agree. All in all, thanks for this post, Leo. Will report this sort of thing in the future to you. Look forward to seeing how the forum progresses.

Ye seems a bit sus lol.

Hi mate, My opinion is that enlightenment can be used as a tool to escape reality. And, can be done out of a desire to self-actualise. I think it depends upon where you are in the spiral (spiral dynamics wise). For example, if you are stage yellow, then I think its a natural progression to then later seek enlightenment. However, I think it can be a perhaps unhealthy coping mechanism for those who haven't integrated their stage red enough. Their thinking might be I need not fight the dangers if I can escape them entirely.

@Esilda I get you. Glad ya feel safer.

Internal family systems 2nd edition by Richard Schwartz

@Esilda Yes, I know of Nahm. He was recently removed from his role of moderator on this forum. Their site looks v similar to this one in terms of format/ layout lol.

@Esilda Ah okay, good luck with everything And, thank you

Hi guys, please could you recommend me a book/ books re this subject.

I love Mate too. Was a route into depth psychology for me, alongside Peterson.
