I agree. But, Mastery is not simply the amount of years you took some drugs or substances, or even the amount of years you did a profession. It is a mindset and you can pursue mastery (Leo literally works full time on this, while I think Rob has a day job) in a different way. You can far surpass someone of 20 years experience in 5 years if you train way smarter and have more time to dedicate to the craft. You have to really look at what the two people are doing. Did you practice everyday for 5 years 8 hours a day with all the best resources? Or did you know about and enjoy a thing for 20 years on the weekend? Big difference. -

You wouldn't know because you haven't read books like you claim. So, you may be right that it is blind leading the blind. But, it is also possible you are so ignorant and uneducated you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Not meaning offence, I am personally epistemologically humbled.. So I see that way. Which is why I remain open as I gain more raw knowledge and experience to contemplate and grow. -

This is not necessarily true. They are very different types of people with different types of educations, experiences, epistomologies and amounts of free time raw hours put into contemplating this stuff. Leo is an intellectual and Rob is a self proclaimed average Joe. "sorry i have not read any metaphysics and epistamology . i am speaking with a mastery lense" My opinion is your lens lacks holism. You contradict yourself with that statement. I think at because you proclaim your ignorance of a wider understanding of reality (which is what we are really talking about) -

Best thing to do for me is to be open to all perspectives. But, do the work being grounded in truth instead of defending any pet theory. -

I thought i would be a good idea to share a personal finance thread for links and tips on how to gain awareness and systems for personal finances. I am in the process of updating my own system and found this simple video. Good luck to improving or creating new habits so you can plan long term. I used to use premade sheets (or just honestly go by the seat of my pants for years)... To me this is the most foundational habit you can install for long term achieving.

I personally resonate with what Deepak is saying and I do wish that Adeptus would: 1. Be more kind and compassionate to people who have different views than him in general 2. Be more humble and open minded toward him and to see what he is really saying before he says what he is saying is bullshit. I also think adeptus makes good points within his own logical and rational understanding of things. I think that it is true that there is no reality. What you call 'reality' is completely relative to the 'state' or 'manifestation' you are in.That it is completely relative and that depending on the way reality is dreaming at the time it is dream that is what is relatively true. What Adeptus calls reality, just regular old dumb reality is an illusion, and the models he has of reality are illusion too. So it's relative illusion nested in relative illusion. Everything is COMPLETELY relative even time. There is no reality. Just the reality that is. compared to nothing. Who can reality turn to to ask if it is reality? Nothing. Just this awareness here. Even amongst humans the way reality is seen is relative which is why him using the definition of reality in the way he does lacks any absolute meaning to me. Because we all have different epistemology and experiential understanding of reality. I personally think (though I love Rob as a fellow human) that he is arrogant to think that he understands more than other people and feels the need to shit on people. I have nothing against him grounding himself in rational, materialism out of fear of losing his mind from psychedelics. Personally, I am humbled by everything I am learning about reality. I am open minded and I see relative truth in both his and Deepaks views. I think the case that reality is an illusion is just way to strong when you go deep enough to ignore it. But, to see that takes study, open minded and the ability to embrace radical paradox which Rob does not do. I don't know if he is much of a reader? There is lots he can read about this stuff from lots of different experts. Reality and truth require open mindedness and the ability to hold simultaneous seeming paradoxes. But, that doesn't mean we shouldn't master our survival, or take our health seriously. I think Rob firmly grounds and identifies with his life, mind, body, and perspective on reality. Which is useful for selfish survival but not understanding the absolute nature of reality. The ego I think can't fully grasp that it's a construct of infinite consciousness. Welcome to relativity, perspective and interpretation. I am still forming my understanding of reality and will likely be humble for many years to come. We will see.

There is video footage of actual protests lol... I am sure it is satire but.. anyway.

This area of his teaching I think is dangerous and could be an ego game. From MY perspective, he has no consciousness. That is true. But the same goes for everyone else. I mean, we can't all be the only awareness bubble. Then again, we could. This goes beyond my understanding and I am curious about all of this. Can't we all have our own awareness and be God? This seems arbitrary. Leo doesn't exist, but he chased pleasure in the past? I admit I am imagining everything outside of my present experience. I am not following Leo's logic in the God realization video. The entire thing doesn't really make sense to me. -

Yea music therapy, I thought about studying this too. They offer it at Acadia university. I've worked alongside music therapists while I worked with autistic children. It seems like a decent gig!

Talk therapy, reading, etc

Made a short video sharing my experience with Actualized.org.

No They are videos and a book list

What makes you special to only need 1?

I think raising a little person into an adult and teaching them all the life lessons I wish I had growing up will be nice.

Honestly sounds like a good thing. You can deeply contemplate this for yourself and make the decision I think is best.

I am in Nova Scotia, it's been real hot

Those of you who consider yourself great long term planners would you be willing to talk to me about how your mind works? What skills have you installed, what habits do you have?

I am just noting my direct experiences. Whether or not I am 'attached' I don't think matters. You are here in a limited form with laws and rules. It may be a dream. But, for not it's this type of dream. Can you operate in it? Can you predict it? No. You note the rules of reality as you experience it. God has chosen all of this. But, I as an ego am not aware of any of it -

I can understand this. However, it is arbitrary because everything exists yet the planet is finite. So, why create such a harsh reality that is Soooo long, and soooo challenging, and soooo unforgiving where most people won't experience self actualizing. Is that love? I don't know. I see the love more and more but I am just saying. Got could leave the devil in the field of potential with it's infinite intelligence. I realize that God I need to forgive God, and myself. But I struggle with that.

Depends on how you approach it. But, developing a mindset of service is important. Got somewhere you want to work? Maybe you need to start by washing the floor, or dishes, or doing basic admin work part time, or just going to events and meeting people. Sometimes you just need to just into the stream and provide value whether it pays you right away or not. Don't think so much like you are convincing, but finding a way to serve.

A vial of hope and a vial of pain In the light they both looked the same Poured them out on into the world On every boy and every girl It's in the neon Bible, the neon Bible Not much chance for survival If the neon Bible is right Take the poison of your age Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page What I know is what you know is right In the city it's the only light It's the neon Bible, the neon Bible Not much chance for survival If the Neon Bible is right Oh God! well look at you now! Oh, you lost it but you don't know how In the light of a golden calf Oh God, I had to laugh Take the poison of your age Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page It was wrong but you said it was right In the future I will read at night In the neon Bible, the neon Bible Not much chance for survival If the Neon Bible is true
