To answer the question: Yes of course you can see and understand them clearly Now whether or not you are conscious and responsible enough to go against your biases and near sided desires is another question

It's not about lifestyle. It's about control.

I get the sense you kind of know you already know the answer to your own question All relationships come with boundaries It’s not about being perfect in relationships but finding a harmony where both can flourish together. We have to be honest with ourselves. Relationships rarely match the ideas and aspirations we have about them in our heads, they change, they are prone to end for any number of reasons. They also are their own important aspect of life where you can create love and build something stable with other people. There is a lot of joy and wonder and surprises in that.

Spirituality has its Mt Everest aspects to it. I consider radical state changes with psychedelics to be of that nature. I don’t think you necessarily need to go deep into all that to live a good and true life. You most definitely don’t need to in order to cultivate wisdom and live authentically. Spirituality is not a competition where it’s a race to the top.

It’s actually very simple but it isn’t necessarily easy nor something that will unfold exactly how you think it should. Basically you will almost always want to come back to the familiar, we see this as safe but it’s sorta an illusion, usually emotional and childlike reasoning rings us back to states we want to obfuscate their cause because it’s easier to live in a sort of comfortable self chosen ignorance than venture off into the unknown. Changing your identity is just venturing into the unknown and trying new things, embracing change, being open. You will learn from resist this so all you must do is take a deep breath, come back to what is true now and most importantly give yourself love, support and acceptance for wanting to go back and sabotage yourself or return to the familiar. Do not beat yourself up. You need to be there for yourself and know deep down there’s boundless wellbeing and guidance in the present. You don’t have to do this perfectly. Just start inching a bit towards what you wish to be and create and whenever you start to sabotage or feel bad comfort yourself. that’s all.

Hopefully we can learn from Hungary on how to recover from these hybrid wannabe dictator regimes. The word is watching Hungary and their next move.

He’s a powerful autist that can def teach you things to reach modern success but you need to have boundaries and know what your principles are and be firmly rooted in your own truth around such people or you will fall into all the traps he has and possibly spend a ton of money on his products that would of been better used elsewhere. If you have the cash to burn, go for it. If you’re really desperate sometimes blowing your cash on a guy sorta creates an artificial fire under your feet to create more of a vision for your life. Really at the end of the day all he is teaching is for you to create a vision for yourself and retrain yourself to focus and not waste time. I find his free videos that are intentionally shot to be more than enough to learn from him. But maybe you will find his paid stuff with it?

The world needs less podcasts

Precisely. This is not a situation where there is a lack of knowledge, ideas and life rafts. Plenty has been thrown towards them.

I’m in the process of reading a book called “Thick Face, Black Heart.” I found it on Leo’s book list but started reading it all the way through a week ago. Honestly it’s probably a life changing book for me. I read only a handful of books a year and on average I come accross 1 book a year or so that it’s powerful and just the knowledge that I need for my next steps. Leo calls it a book for success and for cutting out people pleasing but also it’s much more than that. It actually has a powerful spiritual component to it and is steeped in Taoism. Thick face = able to shield yourself from caring what others think of you, including your own inner critic. Black heart = Able to move through the world ruthlessly without misplaced compassion or care for others. A lot of people who are successful in this world have this, and in and of itself thick face black heart is a tool. It can be used without conscious and for total disregard for everyone but it need not be. The book teaches how to use it selflessly and for the greater good of all, which for me in life has been hard. Especially for us spiritually sensitive people that come to places like actualized we are probably an odd bunch who are a little different than the masses. We can be overly sensitive and sometimes sacrifice ourselves for others in the name of spirituality and selflessness. This book corrects this and brings you back to a harmony where you know how to stand up and pursue what you want consciously. any Thick Face Black Heart practitioners here?

Bro hang in there. I see you post around here and I can tell you’re a good guy. Keep going, the world needs people like you.

That has not been my experience with psychosis. It is emotional logic and self deception dialed up to the max. It is quintessential alignment with falsehood.

neo advaita, gurus, ashrams, seeking , recycled spiritual language (“ego death, oneness”) the same spiritual teachings with the same language, ever consider there are new teachings so radically different and life changing that ultimately lead you to the unexplainable but you’re so conformed to the language and models of popular gurus that you never thought there’s awakenings that have hardly been written and exist outside your understanding? Imagine discovering a new trial to the top of Everest? all a levels of conformity

This video is super interesting. I think his view is a tad too deterministic though. He highlights randomness and dumb luck which is without a doubt a huge factor. The middle way is how I make sense of this in practice, because if you believe everything is random and luck, you make yourself a victim instead of the creator. It's not all luck, a ton of luck and just the unfolding of life which has a random nature to it is most definitely a large part of it but it's not what is necessary to focus on entirely when choosing what to react to, what to believe, what to do that works in Wu Wei with life.

It's just another success treadmill podcast where you are the product and the podcaster and guests have hypnotized themselves and leech your attention to line their pockets.

He's fucking deranged and mad

Ideally the only way to have precise counting is cooking at home and measuring everything out with a scale and whatnot and referencing the nutrition tables of your ingredients. So yeah it's not exactly accurate. And thus my results aren't great. I eat out a lot so yeah there's probably calories in my diet not being accounted for. The thing is measuring everything out is unsustainable for me and doesn't fit the dominant parts of my lifestyle. My rule of thumb for losing weight is cutting back 20%, so however you're eating, learn what foods have the macros and nutrients you need, and then eat 20% less overall. It's easier to cut out bad habits than it is to build good habits for precision results, so just cutting out all sugar, deep fried food, etc can go a long way for the average guy. Throw in two scoops of whey protein a day to hit your protein goal. Done. It's not great but it's def better than just doing the protein and being undisciplined with the rest. Sugar and oil is where you gotta be careful, Claude is also decent at advising on what will potentially put you over into a surplus. There are various rules and things you can learn that can sorta replace calorie counting and still get decent results but if you are like a professional body builder or have a super stable and chill life and the time, it's def better to count precisely at home. I travel way too much for this and just don't have the lifestyle to train and count precisely for like 9 months to get ripped.

I know nothing about him aside from a couple youtube videos. I assume he was a tech guy that got stupidly rich.
