I was thinking and contemplating this issue and i realized that career and work takes hours and hours each day. If you aren't passionate or have some affinity with your work it can get really risky. The trap many people fall into is finishing high school young and dumb then entering university, choosing a major just because it pays well. This is more dangerous than trying crack. When you're naive you think that's a good strategy, but upon contemplation, you realize that as a human being if your career isn't fulfilling you, you'll fall prey to all sorts of traps which end up hurting you in your search of happiness and fulfillment. Think of happiness as a spectrum, happiness on one end, and suicidal depression on the other, and in between all sorts of dysfunctions and pathologies and addictions and so on... Happiness and fulfillment aren't optional in life. They are fundamental to your well being and not falling into self destructive behaviors. And it is simply impossible to be happy working a career you hate and isn't motivated by and not passionate about.

If you're God and you're not a human, and you're the only one in existence then there aren't other sentient beings including animals. Therefore veganism gets debunked. I've struggled with veganism for a long time, i was a vegan, then i stopped then i realized solipsism and awakening which put an end to veganism in my mind.

If reality is a hallucination, then whatever you consciously hallucinate becomes your reality. We can think of it even in this way, reality is infinite, hence infinite possibilities, if you focus your mind and pay attention to that which gives you opportunities to actualize your vision, you'll end up actualizing your vision. We can call it the law of focus. Whatever you focus on, you end up achieving. Your psychology, self-esteem, inner mindset,etc... are the primary factor in determining your success. Therefore yes, believing in yourself has always proven to work, and is a prerequisite for success.

@Leo Gura Yeah they're interesting and complex. I like thinking about figures which are non obvious to pin down .

Skip to the beyond postmodernism segment. I found his talk about the raving homeless madman really profound. I started contemplating and realized how my understanding of these people was terribly distorted because of my biases, assumptions, hear say and conformist thinking. I realized these people are conscious of God and are in heaven. They are enlightened sages, who have realized that life was a joke, hence they live and act the way they do. Contemplate: what is the inner experience/consciousness of these people like ?

@Leo Gura Also substance abuse is common, which is quite interesting from a metaphysical standpoint as these substances can create higher consciousness experiences. It's definitely a complex topic, but like the way society treats it with the stigma is completely uncalibrated.

@Leo Gura I don't know man, I am having these weird insights that I haven't integrated yet.

@Yimpa You're just unconscious of the stuff i'm describing.

To get rich, forget get rich quick schemes. Cryptocurrency, day trading bullshit. The wise gets rich slowly by building a brand, delivering consistent value over decades, scaling, monetizing and being passionate about your artistry and craft.

Truth isn't merely an intellectual matter, but a spiritual matter. Truth has to do with your soul, it will move you, make you cry in joy of bliss and ecstasy. That's the power of truth. Developing a truthful mind is the highest priority.

Money is a hallucinogen, a drug, and when people get under its spell, they stop seeing reality as it is. This drug becomes their reality. The hallucination of money is so powerful for childish minds. And like with any drug, there needs to be a catastophe, an overdose, to awaken for the hallucination to spiritual reality. Money is psychological. It isn't just a currency, it's a psychological hallucination. That's why we associate happiness, success, status, importance, value... With it. With this worldview, people's net worth dictates their value. Not their morality, or their character, just their financial assets. When you're under the spell of money, the lens of which you look through the world is one of extracting money, not Truth. You stop looking for the Truth, and you start looking for money. Which will end up in evil. Which is what we see with the inequalities in the world today.

If we think of open-mindedness as a spectrum from closedness to openness. Mystical religious experiences and phenomenon happen at the extreme end of openness. Close-minded people are incapable of being truly religious. Because religious spiritual mystical phenomenon is only accessible for a very open mind. That's why most people who call themselves religious are narcissistic bigots, close-minded, ideological, dogmatic and rigid in their ways. They're incapable of being truly moral or religious because of their lifestyle and close-mindedness. To be truly religious is to be in union and communion with God. To develop a telepathic connection to the source of infinite mystical knowledge and experience.

@Ulax Homo-curious vibe.

God is unlimited love. In every pursuit the human seeks unlimited love: unlimited sex, that's a form of love. Unlimited money, that's a form of love. Unlimited fame, unlimited knowledge, etc... It's all still limited though. Why not go for God directly ? That's what the wise person does, the source of all infinities is itself the greatest infinity possible.

I am posting a lot of insights on here, all in alignment with actualized.org blog content. Since i don't know where to post them elsewhere.

The key to losing weight is this: Focus on the process not the outcome. The process of losing weight is healthy eating, change your eating patterns for the sake of health. Not losing weight. Losing weight comes as a byproduct of healthy living and eating. Value your health. Contemplate: what's the value of health? Health is life and death. That's what people don't realize. If you don't live healthy you die faster. As obvious as that seems, people don't get it. That's why you should contemplate.

The reason meditation works is because you're detaching from material life and just sitting there, when there's nothing material the mind will wander towards the mystical, and you'll get access to mystical states and visions.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeHlaDBIUBA/?stkn=M2Q4MWJwMjk4anJ5 This is what success looks like for the fool. For the wise success is mastery of mind. Mastery of mind is what leads to a successful life. Bliss and ecstasy are all the rewards you get as a byproduct of mastery of mind and proper living. What's paradoxical, is that even the fool's version of success, which is seen in the video, requires a certain degree of vision, and mastery of mind to accomplish. See it all goes back to mastery of mind. Master your mind and you'll get rewarded, not just with money, which is the fool's hypnotic spell. But with Truth which is clarity of vision, as well as inner ecstasy and bliss on a mundane basis. Mystical spiritual religious experiences of devotion to the love of God are all functions of mastery of mind.

@Leo Gura Yeah lol.

"You should never acknowledge any man above yourself" This mindset while narcissistic, toxic, delusional, and psychopathic, will paradoxically get you laid. Self-belief to the point of delusion produces success, but at what cost? To sever your connection to truth. Because you've traded truth for success, you'll get success, but your mind will be corrupted by all the manipulative tactics you employ to manipulate others and yourself into getting your success. The truth is this kind of acting out is a coping mechanism for some sort of trauma. It isn't pure. The mind is fundamentally insecure, and protective, which will ruin your relationships long term, by being disloyal, uncommitted, immature, sex addicted, and juvenile. So while in the short term your lack of appreciation for truth, will help you get success sex wise, in the long run, you will feel miserable because your character is incompatible with healthy relationships. You've cut yourself off from love to fuel your lust. You've chosen pleasure over happiness and fulfillment.

@Nemra I couldn't agree more!

@Leo Gura Thanks!

@Leo Gura Leo we need a video titled: "Understanding mind. The ultimate guide to mastery of mind".

The God awakened mind experiences experiences of religious fervor, complete devotion towards God, and acting on that commitment. God becomes the highest priority taken with intelligence and wisdom. The God awakened mind is highly intelligent, it can create entire worlds from scratch and they materialize. Alien dimensions of consciousness are accessed, you can look at a bird and realize its alien nature. God is seeing as pure beauty, as well as the highest perfection. The intensity of religious experience starts to intensify.

@Leo Gura Ah okay I see, yeah, I'll have to try and see, once I am off meds.
