Osaid

I didn't say it made it better or worse. You made an objective point out of it so I thought it would make sense to add a correction.

It was towards the forum and people on the thread in general, not just the OP.

You feel resistance (depression and loneliness) because your thoughts aren't aligned with what's true. What feels resistance, other than ego? Put your feelings and emotions first, and just let go. Just like you would immediately let go of your hand when touching a hot stove since it feels painful. Your emotions and feelings have that type of intelligence to them. Right now, your ego is resisting and ignoring that intelligence. It doesn't want to let go because it wants to fulfill the guise of being "right" or "correct", even though it clearly isn't. If it were in a state of truthfulness, there wouldn't be so much resistance. Notice that you can put yourself in a more peaceful state of mind by imagining "others", and that this state is true for as long as you imagine it. And there's nothing inherently wrong with entering a certain state of consciousness which includes "others". Your ego pulls you away from this state because again, it's playing the game of being "right". If you want, you can contemplate why it feels better to have "others" vs not having "others", and then go from there. The big trap that the ego creates here is that it puts the phenomenon of "others" on a hierarchy, where it says that "others" are "untrue" or "invalid" or "wrong" compared to the rest of existence.

Lol, personal development for introverts

Thanks Yep. Modern tech is magic.

You're doing it all the time, subconsciously or consciously. How do you know your house won't collapse tomorrow? How do you know you won't be affected by an earthquake? How do you know a robber wont break into your house? How do you know you won't get struck by lightning when you go outside while it's raining? How do you know you wont wake up tomorrow and suddenly find that you've transformed into a cockroach? You don't plan for these situations, even though you don't know about them. You don't know these things, but you trust or assume these things will not happen, because you intuitively understand that having to know everything first before trusting the universe is an unwinnable and unsustainable game. These are all probably subconscious trusts or assumptions you've made. Although, here is the key insight here. If you truly want to practice not-knowing, you should realize that you actually don't know if you should or shouldn't trust something. You don't know if you should or should not be scared of something. But, you default to being fearful and lacking trust, because your ego is exhibiting a bias towards survival, so those mechanisms are kicking in by default. You've already created an expectation when evaluating things you don't know, which is that you should not trust anything until you've fully understood it. Really, if you practice true not-knowing, you shouldn't even engage in this judgement of what to trust and not to trust, since you realize that you don't know if you should do that. You don't have any other choice. The trust comes when you realize you have no choice other than to ultimately just trust the universe. The trust doesn't come because you're expecting the universe to make things to go your way. The "trust" in this scenario is literally just surrendering and assimilating yourself with what is already true. What creates "resistance" or "lack of trust" is when you set an expectation which says "I need to know the future" or "I need to know exactly what will happen" or "I need to know exactly how things are". Obviously, these expectations don't coincide with the inherently infinite and mystical nature of the universe, and so you're stuck in resistance. It's an unwinnable game you create for yourself. And when you realize it's unwinnable, that's usually where the acceptance and trust kicks in, because you realize that you're just resisting to no avail.

How do you know that you should feel overwhelmed? How do you know you shouldn't feel overwhelmed? Maybe you don't need to know in order to decide what to do. Maybe you should build confidence in deciding without knowing. Maybe that's an actual skill that can be built. There's always an inescapable trust you have to put into the universe. Trying to forgo this trust creates a lot of resistance, as it isn't aligned with what is true, which is the fact that you don't know. Allowing yourself to trust creates peace, as it aligns you with what is true, which is the fact that you don't know.

I did wonder whether Leo's passion for video games still exists and to what degree

If you saw these coincidences during a dream, how would you interpret it? < This perspective cuts away at the hyper-logical interpretation and makes you see it more intuitively. I'm just used to it at this point. Sometimes I have phases where I get lots number synchronicities, like seeing the same numbers everywhere. These type of synchronicities come and go in phases, IME. Aside from that, I'm constantly bombarded with coincidences. For example, some person I was thinking of yesterday will show up tomorrow. Or, I'll be thinking of some scenario and it will exactly appear right in front of me the next moment, as if I just predicted the future. There's a channel on Youtube dedicated to machine elves that talks about how machine elves are related to number synchronicities, and that the "angels" in relation to "angel numbers" are probably just machine elves, which is interesting:

Glow worms

Lol I know exactly which image this generation is based on

Sadghuru claims he does it and has his own lifestyle and foods that he recommends for it

You understand yourself better than anyone and therefore you love yourself better than anyone. All the love you need is within you.

Dentists are so full of shit sometimes Correct, quick Google search shows that it is always a mix of various metal alloys, which makes it "dental gold". The high-noble alloys can include palladium, copper, zinc, silver and platinum. The non-noble alloys, if used, can include chromium, nickel, cobalt and iron: https://www.drericmorrison.com/post/understanding-the-difference-between-dental-gold-regular-gold#:~:text=Precious metal (high,metal by weight https://www.animated-teeth.com/dental_crowns/t-dental-crown-gold.htm#:~:text=Here’s the classification system established by the American Dental Association (1984) that’s used to categorize dental alloys.

Figured. If it's not some error on the antivirus's part, is it possible for some sort of cookie or add-on to latch itself onto other websites or something?

I don't know if it was you, but I remember someone else posting not too long ago about this same experience and how Actualized.org gave them some sort of virus detection pop-up. Odd.

You gave the AI an existential crisis.

You gotta give the audience what they want, lol. It seems the "cult leader" narrative is somewhat mainstream, maybe thanks to Turkey Tom. Some people in the chat were like "isn't this dude a cult leader". DK, it was taken down by Conde Nast Intl, whoever that is. Aside from that it didn't seem like Destiny really knew about Leo, I think it was a donated video suggestion or something.

I watched it when OP sent the video. Next day it was taken down. I've no idea why it was taken down, it was a VOD of Destiny's full stream. I think it was posted on Destiny's actual channel, not sure. I don't know what his policy is for posting his full livestreams but nonetheless it was copyrighted for some reason. I think he got banned on Twitch, so idk where he streams now, but if you can find his full livestreams somewhere the clip is probably in there somewhere.
