Truth can never be validated by an external source, even this one. It’s on you to determine which of your constructions meet the acid test of Truth. It can’t be outsourced to some guru or religion, they are all mental constructions. Understanding what you are can only be understood by YOU. Of course! You’re sole source of Existence- it can’t be any other way

Write it down, take action. dont stop until you get the result. intrinsic motivation it’s key- you find this by deeply clarifying your ‘why’

If you don’t like drinking and loud music: Yoga studios, gym, parks, art festivals, coffee shops, Whole Foods / Trader Joe’s. Moving to big city is important - you also want to stay in fairly close proximity to where all the action is — metro/downtown and surrounding areas

I wish people would really think through the points Leo is making from his perspective before reacting. there is truth in the perspective that conservative values can be looked at objectively for principles in living a good life. It’s not about culture wars, it’s about values in which you orient yourself in becoming a responsible adult. Liberal values/lifestyle also have truths within them, but can devolve into sloppy living if they are not balanced with core principles found within conservative values. Epistemic responsibility first and foremost, is a conservative value when it comes to use of one’s mind. Life is a game of balance, working toward that is growth.

Contemplation challenge: how is the act of rape related to love?

That “thing” being Existence itself. Existence IS, and it can’t be anything other than itself.

Sam Harris perspective on Trump & Jesus:

I think the gist of the message on conformity and delusion of liberal Karens, and realities of survival - still stand.

Final boss type vibes right here:

@Leo Gura thanks for acknowledging both spiritual and addictive elements of smoking weed- most teachers are either/or in their perspective. I personally only used recreationally and had to stop because it became addictive and really limited my life and Mind. It takes deep self reflection on how drugs affect us, and acceptance of our limitations with them.

Each year-Insights are getting deeper through help of videos and blog content. These resources are invaluable, baffles me how you are not charging thousands for life changing content. Thanks for making it as accessible as it is- I’ve been lucky, my life is much more engaging and enriching as a result. Thanks 🙏🏾 ‘if God created a manual for how to navigate the deceptions and trickery of its self constructed game called ‘Human Life’, in the most Truthful manner possible, it would be Actualized.org’

It’s a bit more nuanced I would say. It’s less about believing in other minds, but more about the recognition that all minds are manifestations of a single, Unified Consciousness. Mind is One- it can’t be any other way

Nah bruh

I can relate- for me it’s spiritual bypassing which is common. It’s easy to go down the route assuming you can peacefully navigate survival crises through spiritual insight. It’s kind of true- but I feel only advanced people have the spiritual talent to do that. Survival does not always have to be a bad thing, and it’s ok to take care of your base needs as a human. God literally is survival and all the things that come with it. I like these two videos to contemplate every once in a while for integrating survival with spiritual pursuits:

Craziest shit I've ever seen-

Same strategy for everyone- go out, socialize and meet people. You may be insecure about personality quirks, we all have them. You can still go out and socialize-you’ll gain confidence the more you do it

Great episode. Holding a rationalist worldview requires a divided mind, this is antithetical to the holism needed to realize God. Leo is doing a service to rationalists everywhere by helping them reach their highest spiritual potential. This is mission impossible in my eyes, but great to see someone give it a shot. Keep up the great work @Leo Gura

Survival baby. But it can be transcended- to some degree
