@Leo GuraHey man, I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your podcast with Ben, and I think we would all love to see more like that. It's great to have your Youtube videos as serious deep blocks of your teachings which is of course the meat of your work. But to have these podcasts as sides really helps with integrating it to the real world and day to day psyche. The chemistry between you was great because you were going very deep as always but Ben was constantly asking questions from a perspective that I better relate to. With your YT videos it always feels like we are in some deep Metaphysical dungeon haha where all the shit goes down. This is great and one of the appeals of Actualized.org because shit actually goes down and you go very deep on the topics. But to have videos like the podcasts on the side actually strengthens the depth of your content because we see you talking to someone else, when with YT we are only used to you talking to us alone. What I noticed within myself when watching the convo was how much my Ego is normally twisting your teachings when I watch your YT videos. With the convo this was way less and it was quite shocking to see how much my ego normally gets in the way. You have to understand that when the bulk of your content is Metaphysical and Intellectual dungeon videos, the vibes of those videos get heavily infused in your audience, because you literally have hour and hours of content all in the same style. Just this one video with Ben brought your entire teaching in a different light simply because of the format change even though the subject matter was the same. It just has a super refreshing effect on me as a student. If you are going to feed us raw steak for 100% of the time we forget what it is. When you feed us some different foods for 10% of the time, we never forget the uniqueness of the steak because we are occasionally refreshed. and you still get to feed us the steak for 90% of the time.

Well then I take back some of my words.

If you are fully vaccinated I advice you to not care about covid. This forum thinks death is imaginary but does not even have the balls to walk outside when you are fully vaccinated. The whole reason for lockdown was to stop superspreading and to stop getting old people to get the virus. It was never about the safety of young people. Lots of old ppl were dying which caused extreme reactions of lockdown all over the world. I would be a lot more afraid of wasting my life in fear than to be afraid of covid when fully vaccinated. The vaccines work! Thats why its an official vaccine. How can you be afraid to catch a virus outside but not afraid to transcend your ego. To me being afraid of covid is very unspiritual, and I dont mean that in the conspiracy type of way. I understand that lockdowns were necessary. But to individually be afraid of covid, when you are fully vaccinated is just a denial of life and reality.

It is completely true that the covid vaccine is effective and that covid is not some government conspiracy. However we should be allow to discuss the ways that governments use this pandemic for their own needs. For example, the vaccine passport, while off course a good idea within itself, is actually also a step towards a China like technocratic system. The covid passport has allowed for all identities to be verified digitally by anyone, even outside the original country. Again, of course Covid is not a conspiracy but people in power are seeing it as an opportunity for new things. "As we enter a unique window of opportunity to shape the recovery, this initiative will offer insights to help inform all those determining the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons. Drawing from the vision and vast expertise of the leaders engaged across the Forum’s communities, the Great Reset initiative has a set of dimensions to build a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being." From https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/ . Notice the "unique window of opportunity" they are talking about. that's what I mean. That doesn't mean the coming changes will be necessarily bad but we should be keeping an eye out.

@Leo Gura You have said that if you eliminate wheat, sugar, rice and potatoes you will lose weight automatically. What do you think about the Ketogenic diet, where you also eliminate these foods, but going a step further to not allowing carbs to exceed 20g each day. (so basically veg is your only carb source). So this diet would leave room for high quality vegetables while focusing on high quality fat and protein sources like grassfed meats and butters or coconut. I am asking since you are following the carnivore diet to my knowledge, the keto diet is basically carnivore with the addition of non-animal fats (I never understood why carnivore does not allow olive oil for example, besides that it's technically not carnivore anymore, why is olive oil not allowed in carnivore diet in a dietary sense) , and moderate vegetables. How is carnivore working out for you, specifically the fact that you are not consuming vegetables? how is this at all sustainable? I don't understand how you advocate for eating lots of vegetables with high quality pigments etc, (In the how to shop for healthy foods video) to make them essential to your diet, and now you don't eat veg anymore.

I'll be honest, I'm struggling with blackpill ideology. It seems impossible to get a hot girlfriend if you are not hot. Quite fair ofc but that is just what I always dreamed of. Leo saying a Pua's succes rate is always within 0.5-3%. Would this really work the same for rich and/or good looking guys. I'm feeling like even if i get a hot girl, She will always either cheat on me or something but never really want me. Girls never look at me on the street or anything. While I hear from other, taller better looking guys that they do. I want to take responsibility but I just want to know the truth about how girls think about me and how they really rate guys. I know blackpill people are fucked in the head. But it feels like it is true how they describe the unlovingness and judging of girls. In elementary I was literally called ugly by girls, specifically ugly. not "pussy" or some other shit. What is the fucking truth.

Exactly. Plus the fact that all real holocaust deniers do not actually intellectually think the holocaust did not happen. They are just right wing racist antisemitist, self deluded to the extreme.

Thanks everybody for the replies. @Bando very sharp commentary, really what I needed. I know I have to leave blackpill behind. I think I already knew this but remnants of blackpill are in me that I wanted to vent in this post. I think I am having BDD issues, since I'm considering jaw surgery. Maybe I will take the surgery once I have saved enough I'll be honest about that. I hate my own face and blackpill confirms that and the victimhood of it. Projecting all this self hate into the world. @Leo Gura How do you build the self confidence and self love to act like a man, when you hate yourself in the light of societies standards, or is it all built through social action in the field?

According to Leo, he is himself a hallucinatory vision.

@Leo Gura Look what I found. "The life of God — the life which the mind apprehends and enjoys as it rises to the absolute unity of all things — may be described as a play of love with itself; but this idea sinks to an edifying truism, or even to a platitude, when it does not embrace in it the earnestness, the pain, the patience, and labor, involved in the negative aspect of things." -Hegel

@Leo Gura It would be cool if you made a video discussing Hegel, maybe in a blog type video, and compare his ideas with yours. I always found Hegel really difficult to understand like many others.

Hello forum, I have been a long time lurker but decided to make an account to ask this question. I would really appreciate if @Leo Gura would have some advice on this situation. My cousin who is the same age as me in our early twenties, has been suffering from depression, self-mutilation and multiple suicide attempts over the last few years. she has taken medication and therapy which didn't work. Let me clarify that she has always been into science and rational debating stubbornness. So she is a materialist. her immediate family told me the clinic where she is currently at is giving her electro shock therapy as a 'last resort'. I inquired as to what would happen if this 'last resort' did not work. They told me that euthanasia was being discussed. This shocked me to the bone. Apparently in my country it is possible to get euthanasia even if you are as young as in your early twenties. And the cold hard way the clinic just sees it as an option they can take. I know this clinic must be highly materialistic just like all mainstream clinics. meaning they only give medication and physical therapy, and if that doesn't work they offer euthanasia, basically saying; "if our materialistic medical treatments don't work, killing yourself is your only option", Further reinforcing the story of my cousins suffering and hopelessness. At least in stage blue societies, people who suffer get recommended to turn to God to start their self-transformation. I have no Idea how I would turn my cousin to the likes of spiritual contemplation and introspection. I know for a fact her suffering and cold materialism are tied. She sees the world as a cold clockwork. The best idea is to maybe send her this video from Actualized; Either "What is Spirituality" or "Why reality is not material". Would this be a good idea? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Side question: Is the fact that my country offers euthanasia to young people, an example of toxic stage green?

I am willing to go through this to 'come out the other end'. Would 2000 cold approach sets be enough to attract 8+ in the field and to at least not feel devastated if it doesn't work. After how many hours in the field did you 'become a man' and got a different perspective on rejection for example? The thing I'm struggling the most with girls is I can't think rationally when I'm around them, in the sense that my self-confidence plummets to an extreme and delusional level. When I am at home I have a rational idea of how attractive I am, at least I think. But when around or talking to girls most of the time there are just extreme negative thoughts about myself, both about my appearance and about my personality. I try to become aware that they are delusional but it never seems to work. The thoughts are accompanied by feelings of anxiety and shame. I also am afraid that if I approach a lot that I will only get rejected and that thus my anxieties will be proven by the field. I am afraid of the possiblity of my utter failure and therefore extreme unattractiveness. I know it is because of my trauma, because there were rejection and bullying traumas, also sexual traumas so it does of course make a lot of sense that I have these issues, but come on I can literally only think extremely negatively about myself when around girls. fills up my entire mind. The self hate is becoming extremely frustrating.

How to become a guy in the club that girls have this kind of sex with? Just RSD type night game? What other tips can you give?

@Depersonilized I dont know the details of the medication. @kinesin You are correct that I live in the Netherlands, probably the only country where they administer it for psychiatric suffering. Its highly fucked up and twisted but you are still misrepresenting the situation. Its not that they are booked to be killed, the patient has to really want it themselves and say this in therapy etc. This is of course still super twisted because the condition my cousin is suffering is the depression and wish of death itself, instead of some underlying physical cause which causes the wish of death. I didn't fucking know this was even possible in my country till i heard about my cousin. Again its not like euthanasia is an option they just move on to, but the fact that it was even mentioned as an option shocked me so much. I have no idea how to talk to my cousin and my aunt and uncle about this. @Leo Gura Yes it's highly fucked up. Growing up I always thought my country the Netherlands was the best, but the older I get the less i become sure of its greatness. Thanks a lot for the tip about psychedelic therapy, already saw your blog post but didn't even connect it to this situation. I've done some research and found out there is only one serious psychedelic psychiatrist in my country, doing sessions with mdma and ketamine. But he might do the trick if I persuade my cousin to take it. Do you think a psychedelic can still work for transformation even for highly scientific stubborn materialistic people?
