Yeah, I replied that way not to have to explain my motivations much further, since they are coincidentally aligned with the forum and there are pretty good videos explaining why one would want to do so on Leo's channel.

Pick a goal. I can tell you what tools would help you achieve it faster. Doesn't have to be anything about your body, could be finances, relationships, anything really. Think of it as an experiment. Won't cost anything other than like half an hour a day, or even less.

Yes. It should.

Life mastery and insight to the nature of reality. It can be used on anything you want, not just eye color. Everybody wants to change some aspect of their life, many people want insight into the nature of reality. This does both to a degree.

Also, why do you care whether it is confirming to the forum, are you trying to build some sort of nonconformist identity?

You should ask for tools to prove it for yourself.

How is that me confirming to the forum? I had these goals before discovering actualized.org.

Not nearly often enough. Which will hopefully change as I progress with consciousnesses work.

Life mastery and insight to the nature of reality, which is literally what this forum is about.

I am writing the guide based on my experience .

If you can't see how that is relevant to reality being literally imaginary, which is one of fundamental metaphysical laws then I have no words for you.

Wait, what?

It is worth it. Maybe try 2hr (in two sessions) for a few days just to get it back together. The amazing thing about body scanning is that it lets you train both insight & concentration at the same time which no other technique does. Also idk if you are lying down but perhaps try sitting upright for a while, that helps concentration too.

What do you mean? I don't understand the question. Here's a quote from this section of.the forum: "Also includes topics like: Psychedelics, Lucid Dreaming, Alternative Healing, Paranormal, New Age, etc."

Extra time. Who doesn't need more time during the day?

I mean it could work if you do not develop too many mental problems and are ready to leave everything behind.

Well, wait for the guide and see for yourself.

I think it is more like two ways people start pursuing enlightenment. One does it FOR liberation, the other FOR insight. Both (I think) lead to enlightenment.

That logic falls away after you too do something like this. This is unfortunately the only way to show people who are too close minded to see what is possible. But yeah, if I do something visually visible and care enough to document it I might post that too. Maybe try subliminals too and ask for suggestions instead of denying before trying. Lmao.

Well, stocks provide value to companies. Otherwise, good point.

If you are decent-ish at communication the learn wordpress (you can do it in a week, lol) and find people who need a website. (Whether in real life or online) As long as you can find clients it is relatively easy to make money. Also, idk if you have experience (or even realized it exists) but there are spiritual ways to draw more clients in/make more money. The only catch is you have to correctly differentiate between complex websites and simple websites, so you don't accidentally begin working on something too hard to handle.

Idk if I can share this kind of links, but search "list of transcendental meditation mantras" and the first link (blogpost blog) has a table they use depending on your age (which is probably unnecessary, but you dont have to come up with a mantra yourself that way). Concentration meditation, so basically breath meditation, but you should count the breaths in order to make sure you are actually training your concentration and not unknowingly doing something like zazen. I was not familiar with the term "anapanasati", but it is safe to assume it is kind of the same, except slight difference of meaning (one is about developing samadhi, which basically means concentration, the other one is about breath, which develops your concentration too).

The key to transcendental meditation, if you want to do it in the CLASSICAL WAY (but without a teacher) is to pick a mantra that holds no meaning to you. Then count your breaths for a minute or two and begin repeating the mantra. First in a controlled fashion for short time (minute or two) and then let it repeat itself freely . If it is repeating by itself then it will slowly begin repeating less and less, which will quiet your mind, and then you will experience self-transcending. Btw. If a self-transcending technique makes you feel tired, then stop & switch to samatha meditation. What @Preety_India described above is nice, but try both, to see which gives you transcendental experiences. A self-transcending technique should give you these experiences either on your first try or after a few tries.

Lmao, I was just contemplating exactly this (well, yesterday) and this was precisely my thought. Synchronicities are everywhere when you take this thing seriously.

As long as you don't overdo it. Why not. I would ramp up the meditation to at least 1hr counting breaths daily & continue taking adderall. You might hopefully fix your adhd that way.
