Do you know this farsight initiative? They explore all kinds of topics based on remote viewing abilities:

Funny, I just shared this beautiful Bentinho talk on another actualized forum: I've followed Bentinho the last 6 or 7 years, have done some of his events, his free trinfinity academy, online workshops, and having met and talked to him personally. He feels like a brother from another dimension to me. And similar to how I resonate with Leo's perspective and work I have also observed many similarities in how this generation of current spiritual teachers are being perceived, portrayed and judged by the masses on social media which are clearly not yet capable of understanding or opening up to this higher level of consciousness. For example Bentinho's inner circle of like minded individuals at some point, a few years ago, was infiltrated by a self proclaimed journalist type with a very negative intention to expose Bentinho as a dangerous cult leader. That individual wrote a very judging and opinionated article (on medium) in which a lot of his spiritual teachings were taken out of proper context and mixed with many accusations from a very low level fear based consciousness perspective, framing him to be some kind of suicide encouraging monster and dangerous cult leader. To the level that when the article was published the local community of the city of Boulder became so much influenced by the fear the article triggered that Bentinho and his inner circle and following had to actually move away from that area because they weren't welcome there anymore. In one of his videos Bentinho explained that he was even visited by the police because they were seriously investigating a suicide of one of his students and were trying to determine if he had perhaps encouraged people to commit suicide in his talks. I mention this story In light of the recent events with the suicide of one of Leo's forum members and the very large youtube following Leo currently has statistically. Because of my own spiritual growth and experience as a local spiritual coach / teacher in my city and country I am aware of how powerfully this level of higher consciousness can inspire awakening, accelerate inner growth and expand our understanding of reality. But I also notice how relative and even limiting some of the social media or platforms used in combination with this type of philosophical and spiritual information in teaching higher consciousness can be. Bentinho himself once said something like: "A true master is not the one with the greatest amount of followers, but rather the one who creates the most masters." Which points to the how the actual evolution of consciousness naturally unfolds, as a process that our daily lives already catalyse, because we are the creators of our reality, whether or not we are personally awake to that absolute realisation. Everything is a reflection of our inner state of being and when we are honestly ready and asking for expansion we will naturally create, attract or resonate with the information and all the different ways that would currently contribute to the realisation of our inner desire to grow spiritually. Although I very much appreciate and admire both Leo's and Bentinho's ambition, inspiration, dedication, eloquence and body of work, I also notice that some aspects of this form of teaching, with youtube video's and social media expressions, are not always very effective ultimately. In essence every tool, ritual, approach, philosophy, object, inspirational video etc simply functions as and can be embraced as a permission slip to allow yourself to match a specific preferred frequency of being, to resonate with and become the parallel reality version of yourself that you aspire. Listen to this explanation by Bashar about the concept of how 'permission slips' work in our consciousness: The main similarity and theme I notice in how the teachings of Leo and Bentinho are expressed and interpreted is the cognitive, mental and spiritual understanding and eloquence in explaining very abstract concepts about consciousness and the nature of reality from that higher perspective, just as how this enlightened wisdom has been communicated in many books throughout our close past history. (the Seth Material, the Ra Material, Bashar etc) But this level of clear communication does not automatically mean that the consumers or audience who listens to, reads or views these transmissions will be able to comprehend or integrate as knowing what is being transmitted. Just as how someone might have peak experiences of divinity or enlightenment using psychedelics as a permission slip, but also having to deal with the contrast of those expanded perspectives in relationship to daily life experience. One obvious benefit of our current technological capabilities is that these teachers are now able to easily create beautiful databases of thematic information, but as a side effect these forms may also encourage many to become even more lazy by only following and mentally consuming the information without having the support or dedication to actually explore, experiment with and integrate the wisdom that is being communicated in daily life embodiment. That is why I still wish to focus my attention mostly on interacting and meditating with people who are at least open to apply what is being offered as invitation and might benefit from the individual attention in their growth. What I mean by this is that it could be equally valid, effective and valuable to interact with for example only 2 people or students in a certain amount of time as with for example 2 million followers, from the point of view of contributing to the expansion of human consciousness. All that we as spiritual teachers are able to do is offer others the loving invitation, mental clarity and intuitive inspiration to expand one's own understanding by being a reflection, an open door to and a shining example of higher divine consciousness. Relevant to this theme I recommend this series by Bentinho on how to inspire change (session 1 - 2): https://www.youtube.com/c/BentinhoMassaro/search?query=how to inspire change And this 4 part series about the fall & rise of our civilization: https://www.youtube.com/c/BentinhoMassaro/search?query=fall rise civilization Another example of Bentinho's work is this exploration and visualisation of the topic of death: Overall I think that there is currently way more desire for individual and small group type tailored education and interaction than there is for more spiritual information being put out on this relative mental plane. And I would encourage everyone who feels inspired to contribute to our collective spiritual evolution to initiate their own local gatherings or meditation groups in order to support each other in this way. Having teachers like Leo, Bentinho, Bashar and many others providing us with comprehensive background information and next level teachings to draw upon, I feel we are invited to help each other in step by step applying and integrating much of this wisdom in our present reality experience. Individual or collective spiritual awakening, enlightenment and empowerment cannot be forced, but can be effectively invited, activated and catalysed with our loving attitude, time and energy. Leo and Bentinho beautifully play their parts , their specific roles in this endeavour, how do you wish to contribute in your own unique way?

Next to the spiritual inspiration by Seth, Orin & DaBen, Bashar, Abraham and Actualized, I've also been attracted to Bentinho since about 2014 and do very much recommend many of his (perhaps somewhat earlier) video's as higher consciousness resources. This is a nice example, enjoy:

On this topic I highly recommend the channeled transmissions by Bashar, an ET first contact specialist. Go watch the 'first contact' documentary: https://www.bashar.org/bashar-documentary/ , read the 'Masters of Limitations' book: https://www.basharstore.com/books/ and check some relevant transmissions, for example: https://www.basharstore.com/the-protocols-of-first-contact/ in which Bashar explains all the different steps which are involved in the process of contacting a new civilisation from their point of view and reality. Very informative!

@Leo Gura I am curious what you think about this perspective by Bashar on the importance of understanding what he terms 'permission slips' in our consciousness as explained in the video in this previous post: (as applied to for example the exploration of psychedelics, meditation and every other kind of method, ritual etc.) There seem to be many collectively agreed upon belief systems which provide many different ways of expanding one's awareness and understanding of the nature of reality, just like there are many different messengers and messages which enter our personal and collective consciousness synchronistically providing valuable information about the next level of evolution at every stage of development. Overall a very holistic perfect system, and very personally tailored in our unique reality perception.

I recommend this beautiful enlightening talk and visualisation by Bentinho on the topic of our death to release resistance and be able to actually enjoy life as we have intended.

"You have been given the gift of the gods, you create your reality, according to your beliefs. Yours is the creative energy that makes your world, there are no limitations to the self, except those you believe in. I am Seth, I speak my name joyfully, though names are not important, then each of you speak your names with affirmation every morning, you create your life through the inner power of your being, whose source is within you, and yet beyond the self that you know. Use those creative abilities with understanding, honour yourself and move through the godliness of your being." - Seth

@Leo Gura Why would you? I think your content speaks volumes and everyone naturally attracts their own audience, what would be of the highest integrity and love?

Bashar says that although in essence (absolutely speaking) everything is an illusion or imaginary, the experience you have of it is real!

Bashar says that their et civilisation operates on pure 'synchronism', by virtue of being telempathic and by all individuals truly knowing that everyone is a unique puzzle piece of the whole and when everyone is not only allowed but encouraged to be their authentic self the harmony of the society can only be reinforced. Imagine everyone sensing who you truly are and what your desires or needs are from a young age, encouraged to discover and develop your unique talents and abilities, everyone following their highest excitement all the time and experiencing the natural abundance and synchronicity as organising principle of daily life. Learning, teaching, enjoying, discovering, co-creating. He sometimes uses the terms: an ecstatic explosion of synchronicity. I think we here on earth in our evolution as humanity currently do sometimes experience these states of being individually or perhaps with each other at moments, but as a coherent society where all individuals are self-empowered enough to contribute naturally by being their most authentic self and actualizing their dreams would truly be the next level. A type of reality experience that is way more fluid, malleable, creative, less linear, less solid etc. I would love to see and be a part of our world transitioning towards that parallel/future possibility, it feels like why I am here, and for me personally Leo's and Bashar's teachings fit quite well in this vision, because they are about spirituality, enlightenment and self-empowerment, which are essential to truly thrive and embody our greater potential.

"You create your own reality" https://www.sethlearningcenter.org/q_create_reality.html

"The Nature of Personal Reality", a Seth book, channeled by Jane Roberts, originally published in 1974

All the Seth books can be listened to on this youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Timhart1144/playlists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=2 I would also recommend 'The nature of personal reality', a masterwork about how we create reality with our beliefs and expectations. And 'The individual and the nature of mass events' goes into depth about how we co-create with each other.

@Leo Gura Congratulations on the new channel, I think this shall be another valuable resource of inspiration! My constructive feedback: - I love that the excerpts of content can be very inspirational, offer lots of wisdom or specific insights and can be grouped or categorized at some point with other clips that are related in some way or might be relevant within a certain theme or topic. On youtube this could perhaps be organized with 'playlists', but these clips could also be easily included in future courses or on the forum or (other) website(s). For example I have created a blog type wordpress website on which I collect lots of inspiration by category for myself and the local community I am part of in the Netherlands, where Leo's video's are part of a growing database of resources for the people I meet or coach. https://nu.centrumvaninspiratie.nl/thema/youtube-kanalen+actualized-org/?o=desc ) - I also very much agree with, admire and endorse Leo's intention and style of presenting all this wisdom in the longer in-depth video's without being too commercial or short-sighted, but instead focused on the quality of the information and trusting his own intuition about how to run his company. (as I think he has explained in one of his latest video's on integrity) Therefore I think it is great that at least the original video of the clip is properly linked in the youtube description and being mentioned in the last outro section, but perhaps it can also be included as a clickable thumbnail suggestion or annotation overlay. (however youtube allows clickable links to other video's in the intro, during or at the final screen) - The titles of the clips are very important in my opinion, because they are not only searchable or findable but can also be relatable and inspirational. I think the titles can be even quite long and descriptive and I like the current ones for the clips that are already chosen. I hope you organize all the clips, titles, thumbnails, urls, sources etc in a practical system for your own meta perspective on all these teachings. (For this kind of system I personally love Notion: https://notion.so) I don't exactly know how youtube's (hash)tag system works, but perhaps using a special syntax for keywords or themes could also be explored. - In the thumbnails of the clips I notice sometimes a correlation with the original video, but also some differences. If the original video has a recognisable unique thumbnail, it could perhaps be included as part of the thumbnail image of the clip, and maybe even the original title of the source video can also be included in the thumbnail or in the title or at least in the clickable links in the intro, overlays or end screens. When looking at this overview screen of the clips: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFc8wPBHyLl_cJphb6hDSIw/videos I do not quite like the variety of colors chosen for the borders of the images in the squares of the thumbnails, maybe a bit too distracting or unimportant. I do like the idea of Leo's face being part of the thumbnail, but maybe the border of the square inset image could be just the same light or dark color and the background image of Leo's expression a bit more subtle in a monotone color, less visually competing with and less contrast as the unique squared image, in order to more easily distinguish the topic or clip from another one, but also easily notice the style of the video being a clip taken from another original Leo source. - I like the length of the clips, currently ranging between about 4 to 10 minutes, I think even twice as long clips when relevant would also be great - In many of Leo's original video's he offers great practical exercises for self-inquiry and self development, or he asks a lot of great questions to ponder and answer. I think these types of excerpts could benefit from having a separate category, like a youtube playlist of exercises, of multiple playlists of thematic or topical exercises. Because one less effective aspect of these kinds of teachings on youtube or in video format I notice is the passive state of consuming information in this way this format and types of platforms keep encouraging, as apposed to actually taking the time, initiative and energy to practically apply or practice what is being offered. That is one of the reasons why I have personally not (yet) devoted a lot of time to express myself in this specific way, when I instead can work with people directly in conversation, coaching and meditation. I do very much appreciate and value Leo's unique qualities as a teacher to embrace this medium of video and translating the higher wisdom in his type of expression and therefore would love his work to reach everyone who is seeking, open or receptive to this level of understanding. But I also notice the relativity of these kinds of media in our current collective culture. Another great spiritual teacher I resonate with is Bentinho Massaro, who has I believe said that: "The true master is not the one with the most students, but the one who creates the most masters.", in this context a relevant point of view. It is not about having more 'followers' or a greater audience, but simply consciousness inviting consciousness to awaken into mastery. How eloquently, creatively, brilliantly or beautifully you are able to express our divinity does not determine how much impact or success or contribution you make to our collective evolution if that is your desire, but the truly unconditionally loving intention, empathy and serving attitude will naturally shine through every moment of you simply being authentically yourself. I find it quite funny that both you and Bentinho and many others like us are easily misinterpreted as cultleaders, signifying the gap in consciousness we so passionately try to bridge. In short: Leo, you are doing a very, very great job at translating higher wisdom into relatable understanding and I encourage you to keep following your own higher spiritual guidance in all the endeavours you feel inspired to act upon, like you are doing with this new channel and your ideas for a book, please stay incorruptible, focused and grateful for all you experience and may offer this world by choosing to be aligned with your life purpose. You are a beautiful example for many and one of the best teachers of our time in my opinion! much love, Victor

For those who are genuinely interested in this topic I recommend this documentary about Bashar and First Contact: https://www.bashar.org/bashar-documentary/ Bashar, en ET being that actually is a first contact specialist, has in his transmissions explained many aspects of ufo's, first contact and the probability of earth in the near future becoming a member of their interstellar alliance of worlds as a natural next step in our species evolution. The relatively new book 'The Masters of Limitation', 'an ET's Observations of Earth' offers a nice overview of Bashar's teachings of self empowerment and what steps are involved in the process of First Contact from the ET's point of view, very informative: https://www.basharstore.com/books/ These are the basic principles of Bashar's teachings: https://www.bashar.org/principles/

@Phyllis Wagner Check this post:

Check out these perspectives on AI by Bashar:

I find this specific wisdom by Bashar very practically valuable and relevant for everybody to better comprehend about the nature of our personal reality and how we are naturally attracted to all types of information, rituals, objects, symbols etc in our own consciousness in order to grow and become the version of ourselves we are divinely inspired to embody. Integrating this understanding about permission slips will free you from all collective delusions and invites you to empower yourself by transforming your limiting beliefs and embracing the abundant natural guidance you are always synchronistically provided with. Enjoy:

Enjoy this inspiration:

Hi @Leo Gura Great self reflection in your new blog video! Your insights about the importance of balancing everything in your life dynamically are very valuable. Balancing spirituality with practicality or inspiration with the cyclical nature of creativity are necessary parts of the integration of expanded consciousness when maturing as an awakened, empowered and self-actualized being. I am noticing these themes in my own development and resonate with your messages. We are all in our own unique journeys awakening more into the inherent creative freedom of our true divine nature and I am very grateful for the wisdom and clarity you and many other great teachers reflect to us. This is a short illustration of how that freedom can be experienced by Bentinho Massaro, talking about the concept of 'true simultaneity':

Another great and flexible tool for organising your life / work / inspiration to your personal liking is Notion: https://www.notion.so/

This is a great interview with Darryl Anka (the channel for Bashar), touching on many topics of the teachings Bashar has brought humanity in the last 35+ years.
