How did you fall into this? Do they give you sex for money?

Only you would know the answer to that question. Instead of asking God, ask yourself .. seeing as in you are God, the one who deceived and still is deceiving itself .. you have the power to wake up at any time.

I wouldn't count on him to release the course anytime soon .. don't put all your eggs into this basket. Focus on what you can do without Leo's help. Leverage his already existing content, but also set your own goals and measures for success in your spiritual pursuits.

It's not this simple .. nor could it ever be.

@Leo Gura I noticed he also does a great deal to market his website / business on this forum .. so not sure if how much his cryptic language was being used to increase traffic for his business. Do you plan on creating some guidelines around users marketing their spiritual coaching businesses? I only bring this up because it could possibly taint or corrupt the forum.

I’d choose being sober in spiritual endeavors over alcohol for sure.

@SQAAD seems to me that you are not ready for the deepest levels of this work.

The mistake is trying to find meaning in the meditation. It is ideal to not expect anything from your practice, this will give you higher returns and make you more present to what arises. Embrace the falling apart with a smile. The key is not to judge yourself or your circumstances .. your ego finds it hard not to do this. Take a break if you need to, and only return when you are ready. You must not beat yourself up though

@John Paul at least you are honest. I believe well over 50% of the folks that follow actualized.org have some kind of twisted infatuation and attachment to Leo. Kind of natural for gurus .. especially on YouTube these days.

Depends on who you ask. There are many happy / fulfilling marriages .. as well as many miserable ones. Be careful that you are not projecting upon marriage because of past or lingering trauma you have had in your personal life. That could result in you missing opportunities to develop an awesome romantic relationship with a significant other.

You avoid this by de-escalating. The point of going out is to have fun, not pick fights. If a guy wants to start drama, offer to buy him a drink or compliment him on his outfit.

Lol .. hard to do if you're shit-faced. If you're serious about improving your skills at socialization and/or pickup .. go for little to no alcohol.

I exist as God, but alas .. you are God. Therefore YOU are imagining what you call "me" and "others" .. right at this very moment. You cannot escape your imagination.

The term dream can cause a ton of confusion. At it’s core, reality is constructed .. from scratch. This is the magnificence of God (yourself).

Leo’s version of putting heads on a spike lol

Women can definitely be lazy in bed .. no denying that. Men and can too, of course. Point is, sexual chemistry goes out the window if either partner is not interested in pleasing in the other. Really boils down to selfishness on both sides.

There isn’t any raw data to back this up .. seems as though you’re not objectively evaluating progressives (ie. Bias). This may be true in your subjective experience, but it’s not universally true that progressives complain the most. Not to my knowledge at least.

@Leo Gura In light of the recent events of taking your solipsism video down, how do you deal with having so many people relying on you to satisfy their egos in so many ways (a good amount of it being toxic)? You could easily becoming a spiritual cult leader / Zen devil with this amount of pull. I deeply respect the fact that you have actively pushed back against this, encouraging others to forge their own spiritual path, instead of marketing yourself as the solution to all of their problems. How can we embody this level of principled leadership and integrity as we begin to take back our personal power .. and become sources of inspiration to others without getting corrupted by our ego?

@supremeyingyang sure, shoot me a direct message.

You act as though progressives are the only ones that do this? To subscribe to any political ideology is to bitch and moan about the other party is doing / not doing (be it democrats, conservatives, progressives, etc). This is what politics is about.

Leo doesn't owe us anything, honestly.

Healthy relationships are. No one is denying healthy relationships are possible. But you'd also need to be realistic that there are many toxic, and unhealthy relationships that exist in society .. maybe even more so.

You guys are missing the point .. it's much more nuanced. Men and women often have mediocre relationships, with a sex life that is dry. In many cases, they'll resort to porn or dildo's over cheating on their partner (if they have an ounce of integrity). People settle for low-grade relationships and marriages more than you think. A benefit of porn and dildos (for single people and incels) is that you get your physical needs met, without the emotional component that leads to heartbreak, codependency and toxicity. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but there is no one-size-fits-all way of thinking that you can readily rely on.

The counter-intuitive thing is we often think the addiction is the problem. But it's the guilt that follows the activity in that keeps you in a vicious cycle. Stop feeling bad about falling off the wagon from time to time. Also .. we need to stop categorizing things as an "addiction" so readily. Being addicted has two main traits: An inability to stop after repeated attempts. Participating in activity causes physical, mental, spiritual, financial and emotional harm to self and others. I find rarely that occasional jerking off to porn results in the above. Make sure you are not being influence by societal programming that tells you expressing your sexuality is a bad thing. Healthy men are born horny .. we are designed to sow our seeds indiscriminately .. porn is often a healthy outlet to these (natural) animalistic cravings.

Thanks for the interest guys. My LP is to empower children globally by providing resources to parents that will help them consciously raising their kids .. thus creating a more wholesome society free of childhood trauma. I was recently certified as a Family Life Coach .. with a specialty in parenting. I plan creating courses and a learning center .. as well as private coaching services.
