Forum was down.

Making Actualized.org better? Create some content that promotes and supports people actually contemplating instead of just filling their heads. It may take a radically different approach to content creation but could be worth it. Whether it’s exercise pages, books, etc I would be willing to pay for these PDF’s if they helped me contemplate at a higher level

@Michael569 They can be deleted you just gotta finesse it

@LSD-Rumi I think it is

Isn’t that part of the work?

I’ve had discussions about spiritual talks on Reddit. These upvote downvote things lead to fighting and abuse if the system.

Nah, Buddhism has teachings that would help you orient these things. Right thinking, Right lively hood… a basic understanding IE, reading a single book about the cognitive framework of Buddhism could easily be done in 2 weeks during this 20 year period and be applied to your overall personal development path as it’s framework aligns with many self help areas. I am not convinced it’s that linear. What a shame to go 20 years and not look at the fundamental basics of Buddhism. At least look at the heart of Buddha’s teachings, eightfold path, the turning of the wheel etc. Having that cognitive framework I think may be useful. Personally Tate does not appeal to me. But, I can learn from anyone. Though I wouldn’t look up to tate, I saw some things in him I could use to be more authentic in the world. To be willing to be myself in public regardless of their opinions. Just, his ability to be himself and be confident. But, beyond that I don’t really like the guy. You can learn and see things in people you want while seeing things you don’t like. If you can’t learn from everyone… idk,

I ain’t never seen an ass like that make my Slinky my go boing booing boing

@Danioover9000 I sense for most peoples it’s his confident energy more than his actual dealings

@Moksha Exactly…

@Moksha You misunderstand. I’m transcending all teachers . Im firing you because: 1. I’ve heard it all me before 2. Your words won’t get me to where I want to go 3. You aren’t saying anything new to me personally. I’ve also fired everyone else too. Doesn’t mean I won’t read them as I enjoy this stuff. But, they are fired. I’ve realize all anyone can say to me regarding truth and consciousness is things I’ve heard before which are false.

@John Iverson for what?

@Moksha I’m firing you too dream boyo hehe ?

I appreciate you imaginary form members

I’ve heard it all before. There is no you. No universe according to Jed. The point is, all this sounds like bullshit belief and hearsay. Not to be rude, it’s just none of this read and anyone tells me is true. Part of the reason I say this is, you know by now ive watched all of Leo’s videos, read plenty of spiritual books, had awakenings, do regular spiritual practice, and just read a book by Jed McKenna where he went on for 160 plus pages about how consciousness is everything. Honestly is like I’m trying to fry an egg by putting it in the freezing talking about this here. The dream cat said “Meow” If it’s just consciousness then, what universe is there? There isn’t one. My direct experience therefore is everything Now. what you say makes sense and has truth to it. But, it’s not the answer I’m looking for. I want to KNOW. I’ve had awakenings. But, I have more questions still. Utlimately,

@Moksha No, the question is, am I the only consciousness that exists? Is my direct experience without scale? Am I the absolute? It appears so. My mystical experiences suggest so. But, all these dream characters are full of shit. I understand already that the finger is pointing to the moon. But, they have many logical inconsistencies in what they say about consciousness and the ultimate admit “hmm, I don’t really know”

@LSD-Rumi There’s truth to what you are saying. However, most people here haven’t read a single book on Buddhism to begin with. Buddhism really promotes understanding your suffering and using a critical and intelligent approach to solving it and living a good holistic and balanced life. There is also more to Buddhism, but in the context of comparing it to Tate. A Buddhist could see Tate, and use his Buddhist understanding to grow. It’s not opposing Buddhism totally. A Buddhist should be an open book and student of life. A lot of men need good strong male, masculine roles models. Yet, honestly they are few and far between. I can’t even name one. Ideally one who is also deeply spiritually grounded and full of integrity. Someone who is yet to be actualized. Soon, they are in their way.

Is that really a true representation of what Buddhism teaches? Or is the an overnight simplification and pop culture understanding

By the end of the book I gained the sense that he didn’t really now what reality was and just had a bunch of beliefs despite being hard on beliefs. I can’t help but assume Leo is the same way. I’m throwing you guys out. One minute Leo says it’s just me, next he says it’s just him, then Jed says it’s just him and then just me. But, then he says there could be an infinite amount of absolute consciousnesses, but, wasn’t it just consciousness? I’m not conscious of these things. Then Leo says he doesn’t have his own consciousness. But claims to trip and have God Realizations. Okay, so a dream character is some pseudo teacher for infinite mind to dream some reason it awakened because it had this teacher? That’s weird. And, why me? Why this dumbass? God, ya make no fucking sense! Give me a call sometime and clarify a few things. All I have a are idiots authors and Gurus and I’d like to speak to the real deal. So, basically your both fired when it comes to truth. If God and Truth has a number in the yellow pages please send me the number.

@John Paul I would say the ability to fight is a small aspect of masculinity

Jed McKenna - reading him is like reading Leo it’s a little weird

Great track to leave playing throughout a morning of Meditation, Qigong, reading and contemplation. Spread love

@Aaron p agree

@something_else It’s all our fault and projection. Because people have different opinions on him, the only logical reason despite healthy epistemology to be to have multiple interpretations (10-15) the only interpretation is it’s your fault you have a critique of Razard who is pure perfection. You need to check yourself bro, obviously.
