@Princess Arabia People who go to business workshops have the commonality of having interest in business and making money. Some differences between them and their personalities, but still relatively similar. People who are part of a cycling group that meets once a week to ride the bike have a common interest in cycling, fitness, health. There are differences between them but they still have this commonality which implies some similar ways of thinking. Both of those are choices. They come together because of a shared interest, and you get like minded people. This is different from people on the street who are complete strangers to you. Here on actualized.org you don't get "random people from the street". You get people with a shared interest to self actualize, otherwise they wouldn't be here.

@Carl-Richard Yeah, but this is not just any open forum with random people totally unrelated to each other. There is a common shared of interest in improving oneself and the life experience. You attract people who are similar to you, and this is why you see people like Andrew Tate attracting people that are similar to him, Eckhart Tolle attracting people similar to him, and I believe with Leo it's a similar case. I don't have any burning insights.

All this sophisticated talk seems like an escape rather than actual truth. There is literally no reason to be silent, as though it is somehow a universal law that silence = wisdom. No. If anything quite the opposite. We are still humans living together in a society, with pretty much the same genetic code of hunter gatherers thousands of years ago in the wild. We are social creatures. All your behavior is for the purpose of survival, nothing more. You are simply a biological machine that is coded to keep its form, based on how the brain identifies as you. All the 'inner workings' of this machine are biological processes (chemical processes) that are designed such that together they create a complex system of predetermined behavior, which is happening right now. There is the experience of all of this, yes. Being silent is not your sophisticated choice. You being silent, writing this post and acting spiritual is your body reacting to the environment and inner biology (including the information you intake, and the thoughts that shape your experience). There is no "end" to this journey. Like, what happens now? Tf? You just keep living. If anything you would be more happy interacting with people, as we are social creatures (by design) and our happiness (happy hormones) is very much dependent on those interactions (very much for design, for survival). There is no way out of survival. The human is always in survival mode, which is also a very great thing. Very amazing thing - literally what keeps you alive and emotionally comfortable. Your true identity might not be the human, and thus you can argue that we should let go of it since it's an illusion. But the truth is that the human experience is what is, and every reference point has always been from that pov.

@Leo Gura Business first, psychology second, if psychology remains. If you need a million dollars, psychoology will not help you. You need a million dollars. There are legit reasons why you might need a million dollars. Of course there are also illegitmate reasons. Why would psychology not remain after getting the business? (or girlfriend) You're literally building a fragile house of cards that way. If the business fails or your girlfriend breaks up with you, you'll be doomed into deep suffering because of excessive attachment to those things. Brother, I'm really curious as to why you're putting more emphasis on action when without proper psychology might lead you the wrong way.

Don't get to sophiaticated. A man needs a few girlfriends first. @Leo Gura If I'm stressed about money and want a million dollars to feel free and happy, would you suggest me to take action on working on business or to take care of my psychology and perhaps then the money will fall into place?

@Leo Gura But then we might realize that crossing that bridge was what we really wanted and that getting a girlfriend was just a trick of the mind. You could also not want a girlfriend anymore once you got one and realized it didn't fix much, so maybe quick action isn't a good solution when dealing with emotional problems.

By taking action and approaching girls. You will stop being jealous once you get a girlfriend. @Leo Gura I honestly don't think that approaching more girls will solve this emotional disease of jealousy and comparison. Getting a girlfriend can't solve that problem for you. Man, Leo, I know you know this shit so why would you give such advice when you know it won't work?

@Eph75 Emotions? Bro you're very poetic (in a good way). So basically you're talking about "planning the direction of my life"? As long as I keep coming with a plan for how my life's layout will look like, a story basically (or painting as you out it), I'm gonna keep arriving to this dead end. This might explain why I've been feeling stuck throughout my life. Yes... The brain's skewed way of defining yourself and to preserve it. It's in the DNA. I don't think it's so intuitive though that it's the script that is the problem. Without hearing about it from someone, I don't think I'd ever guess it's the story of myself that causes problems. Yeah, had a strong feeling you won't say something like "let go of the story". As humans, we always give meaning to things. It's like a psychological need. So this is the how awareness leads to a better experience of life? Those insights actually create shifts in the neurological level of the brain? Isn't it also because we resist change because of homeo stasis (from a survival point of view)? Seems like you're saying trying to change the situation with logic from a bad script vs changing the script via observation. Holy shit dude, your writing is so heavy for my understanding😂. It's quite hurting the brain lol. A new paradigm thinking in terms of scripts... What do you mean by "but it may be a compulsory thought generated by something in your internal script"? It was quite hard for me to understand what you wrote... I'll try introspecting more into it Dude how can I remember those details? I don't remember. Oh, ok, for hours, maybe then I'll remember lol. But what if I'm wrong about the answer, and believe it to be something else than the true answer? I could invent/pull up a story without noticing. Ok all this is a little new to me so I didn't quite understand everything that you said, but it's ok, I got a lot. Gives me vibes of Psycho-Cybernetics (a books I didn't even read lol). Thanks a lot

@Chadders I'm not planning on doing trading (at least not now), but rather long term investments.

@RendHeaven For real. He shows honest appreciation to anime. I really loved watching the hxh, aot, bluelock, and now it's my hero academia.

@Michael569 No. I mean, that's not true though. This isn't a major issue currently though. It's just that recently I want to start watching his videos and I'll want to plan it out and combine it somehow with all the above. I dunno. Not thinking much about it now. I like working out and to read. My dog, laughing, cool music, entertainment. Failing socially and feeling 'stuck' in life. Pretty much the body and feelings. Perhaps I don't remind myself too much about. I don't think about it during the day, just at night sometimes when I reflect a bit. Perhaps I need to raise more awareness on it? I dunno.

@RendHeaven whaaaaaatttttt??? Bro... Yes! I ain't gonna lie he is the best in terms of reactions. Nothing fake about his reactions lol, seems pretty genuine and gives good commentaries. His content is sometimes addictive

Brother, who did the land belong to like 3,500 years ago? Weren't the jews inhabiting the land from the start?

@Leo Gura They are really not rational in their minds. All they care about is killing and slaughtering Israelis, even by means of suicide, collective suicides, hurting their own people. It's like this is their moral.

You're either bored or frustrated, one is more dominant in your experience. If you feel bored then you obviously have thoughts arise that indicate that you're uninspired yet not resisting much, that you're quite open and that you recognize options do exists. Really allow this experience to be, and when you do allow yourself to experience it then you give the space for thoughts with similar emotion to rise (slightly better), and you'll naturally feel inclined to focus on them (better feeling not as an idea, but as how you actually feel: in some moment thinking about anime, revenging someone, a certain song, watching crazy prank videos - these might feel more relieving). Naturally you'll feel more connected, inspired and authentic when you really invite your emotion and then relief your way up by allowing yourself to focus on things that feel better. Probably not exactly the type of answer you were asking for, but I felt that it can be very valuable and not too long. My 2 cents

Gonna post here long and short poems by me Perhaps this is a stepping stone for me to get into writing songs, with the juiciness of the music, by me, for me Yeah, I know my poems might be terrible now But I still must keep with the flow It will always get somewhere With the power of expression

One will not become fitter in a day or even a week. Rather it take consistency, if gainz is what thee seeks. Wear thy hard work proudly as it's the total of the valleys and peaks. But become not vain of thy own reflection, nor fall into disdain of achieving perfection.

A head nod to thy gym brethren is a sign of respect For this is how we acknowledge a good set, and quickly connect It's also short for saying: "You're looking submissive and breedable bro" As we also admire each other's aesthetic, and the consistency it took to grow

Working out thy core should not feel like a tedious chore. For although it is 'mired by many who seek aesthetic abs, it carries over to stability and bracing more athletics, which are must haves.

Hopefully you aren't just coming here to spit comments and what sounds good

@Leo Gura What do you mean? You do gather us all under one roof, ahem, this forum... Where else do you gather your followers? You think it is not a cult, or at least really hoping it's not, trying to make sure it is not. Eventually it does become a cult, even if this wasn't the original plan, a very subtle tricky cult. I am not blaming you at all for this, but you gotta understand that people think differently than you and they are too much in their minds racing for success dependent on self imagery and "perceived value".

@Leo Gura Dude I would say it is exactly the same with your loyal followers. Take a moment to also see how your own followers are immature, mentally unstable and emotionally reactive. Your community is quite dangerous as well if I'm being honest

You reach insights and see things that you would not otherwise reach. Tons of spiritual work is achieved. @Leo Gura But even if you see things, they disappears after a while - because they aren't permanent. How is this exactly 'tons of spiritual work'?

@Leo Gura Do you believe psychedelics produce permanent realizations? If not, then what is the purpose of psychedelics for spiritual work?

@Chakra Lion Damn, you've been through a lot. Seems like a natural cause of all these changes
