@Mikael89 I have explained a simple technique on how to make contact with benevolent ETs it in this post. I made contact with ETs more than 100 times.

Sharing insights. Intellectual materialism - excessively grasping for information, needing information, trusting a thought that one will be complete when we learn that additional piece of information that just came on the horizon Spiritual materialism - a thought that one needs a certain state to be complete... looking for that state and making justifications for why we're not complete because we're not in that state Agree or do you have a better definition?

@Jack River Albert Einstein said that energy cannot be destroyed, it can only be transferred from one from to another. We could say that this process is a process of transmutation. Change is a constant, it cannot be stopped. Everything is moving towards an unimaginable omega point. But what is stopping that? Ego. Resistance in the body. Lesser the resistance, lesser the bondage. I have used alchemy and light technology from Arcturus RA for transmutation purposes (which is categorized as occult in this forum), so I cannot talk about it. That's why I would like to hear @Leo Gura 's opinion about that.

Transmutation (google) /tranzmjuːˈteɪʃ(ə)n,trɑːnzmjuːˈteɪʃ(ə)n,transmjuːˈteɪʃ(ə)n,trɑːnsmjuːˈteɪʃ(ə)n/ noun the action of changing or the state of being changed into another form. "the transmutation of the political economy of the post-war years was complete" PHYSICS the changing of one element into another by radioactive decay, nuclear bombardment, or similar processes. HISTORICAL•BIOLOGY the conversion or transformation of one species into another Would be nice to see a video from Leo about transmutation and stages of spiritual awakening.

Lesser the bondage, higher the consciousness. More the clinging to ideas, things, perspectives, perceptions, beliefs and states diminishes... the less resistance there is in the body, the more the bondage starts to dissolve the more devine actions,ideas, attitudes, speech, intentions and effort can flow through the body... the original soul blueprint is activated.

@Dan Arnautu Raising the quality of the experience would be a good way.

Consciousness is an unified field that connect everything to everything else. Consciousness with lower density (low consciousness) has a lower vibration, the experience of it is not as good(relatively speaking) as consciousness with a higher density. The lower the density the more information can pass through the field and that results in the creation of a more complex system that is more aligned with source energy, pure oneness.

@Vibivub I have posted 3 playlists with special frequencies and meditation music in this thread, check it out. Also, you can buy tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls or gongs for sound healing meditations, very powerful stuff to quiet the mind.

Non-duality doesn't mean anything. It's an imaginary idea. That idea is an imaginary illusion because it's not in the direct experience, but this idea exists, it's just not real. When one is not aware enough of the direct experience then there are more shifts from the imaginary world to the direct experience. The illusion gets entangled in the real strange loop and slowly becomes an automatic behavior. Now the illusion is running subconsciously and you have to self-reflect via writing to get rid of it, analyze beliefs and egoic reactions. There are a few critical moments in the day, when the environmental factors are right to trigger the illusion, those are egoic reactions that compromise the most of the suffering. Even if you are aware and observing it while it's happening, it does nothing, the illusion has it's own momentum and continues until one becomes aware of the illusion that is running the program via writing and speech.

The Deep Problem Of Marketing Society and culture is very resistant to new ideas Modern society is very materialistic It's not just about providing evidence Marketing is no just about sales, marketing is about influence and eye balls, it's exposing millions of people with certain paradigms, assumptions and ideas and then those ideas become reality, they define what reality is, reality is not just something you find out there, it's something you construct - marketing, society , culture, business are constructing it So the question is what type of ideas are most people exposed to. Status quo is always interested in maintaining it's power and will fight for it It's a construction of beliefs, concepts... and most people will not think of it like it's just a story, they will think it's reality This current reality is mostly constructed by science, academia and business Business is only concerned about maximizing profits, it doesn't care about truth and consciousness Marketing is important anywhere where your trying to get a consensus, for people to agree on anything Those who have control and power, they control access to eyeballs Education is a big propaganda, and after you go trough it, you are indocrinated in a certain box, paradigm and anything that then goes against it you will think of it as insane, non-mainstream stuff People in power want their ideology being spread trough education "I will exert my power to push my self-agenda trough" - this is what ego all about, ego is power hungry.. why? ... because it is no conscious, if it were conscious it would surrender all desire for power, but it doesn't know any better, so it's life is all about acquiring more and more power and than using that power to satisfy and fulfill shallow ego gratifications like buying stuff, taking vacations Notice that nothing high consciousness is ever advertised on TV, or taught in schools Modern marketing is selfish, it's all about maximizing sales (every little word is tweaked to push all your emotional buttons) Marketing is any way to influence any body and getting eye balls and then you can use those eye balls to earn money, to pitch a religion or you can use it to enlighten people.. you can use it for good or evil Word of mouth is another way of marketing Notice that nobody is talking about real solutions to mankind problems What modern marketing is pitching you is fake solutions to very real problems and those solutions are designed not to work so that you can come back and get more (example: pharma that sells you "medicines" that dont' cure anything, jsut so that they can sell you more medicines) 44 min - marketing is directly responsible for causing obesity, disease, mindless consumerism, mind numbing entertainment, dogma, tribalism, misinformation, war, laziness, anti-mastery mindset, suicide, anger, depression, ignorance cancer, every form of addiction known to mankind, materialist paradigm,the growing gap between the higher and lower class, pollution and poison Materialist paradigm is gross by it's very nature, it doesn't recognize anything subtle (creativity, consciousness, beauty, truth, love)... it recognize only the most base forms of human desire (need for sex, need of greasy food, easy stimulation, shortcuts and quick solutions and get rich quick schemes). Modern marketing sets the bar so low that when you hear the truth, the truth sounds like insanity... because you are always judging anything you are hearing by what you heard before, and what you have heard before is what you have heard from every single marketing channel that is popular ... so you are always judging truth against untruth and there is always a giant mountain of untruth with a little tiny grand of truth, so that giant mountain easily outweighs the little tiny grand of truth if you are not vigilant about it (and in a sense this is how it should be because society must evolve trough the spiral dynamics stages. What can be marketed is very much limited by the audiences paradigm, it's very much limited by the limits of human language and by what can be communicated, if a thing cannot be communicated, it's hard to market it. It's also limited by the predominant needs and desires of the population, so it creates this kind of vicious circle where unconscious people will only buy things that are unconsciously marketed to them but then because companies have to carter to that and market unconscious things that makes the people even more unconscious and then those unconscious people are themselves the ones who are running the marketing companies . Even if you think you are not doing marketing, you are doing it by working for a company , so you need to look at what marketing is your business doing. If you are working for Mcdonalds look at what kind of marketing it is doing. Most people are like zombies, cogs in the machine who are contributing to the marketing of Mcdonalds and then what that is ultimately doing is poisoning human beings It's not easy to find conscious work, most work is unconscious. To break out of that unconscious cycle it take vision, ambition, higher consciousness values, takes a lot of work to work towards those , takes work to move trough the spiral dynamics stages Here's what we can do: you can take control of your own life, you can stop using society as the gold standard against which you judge other paradigms and other ideas , you can stop assuming that society will deliver truth and health to you, you can stop sucking on societies tits and take ownership over the kind of media that you consume, over the kind of businesses that you shop with and the kind of companies that you are willing to work for and kind of marketing that you are willing to do and willing to support, that's within your power and that's exactly what a conscious person will need to do. Most people don't exercise this power because, they haven't really thought about it, they are just ignorant about it. They are unconscious. High consciousness stuff is hard to market. It's much easier to create a business which sells poison than it is to create a business which actually elevates people. It's hard to convince people to buy good stuff. Are you gonna appeal to people most base and unhealthy needs and desires or are you gonna have a larger vision for the world? A lot of spiritual masters will never be famous because they don't write books and don't know how to market to the masses. You tend to take marketing that you are exposed to as the entire possibility space of what's out there, of what's possible and that is an enormous distortion of the truth. There is a whole world out there beyond mainstream marketing that most people have no clue about. 1h - Leo wants, that you on some point outgrow actualized.org. So, that you don't need that material for personal development and that you can get all the answers from within What would responsible marketing look like? marketing what elevates the user, taking the users agenda as your number 1 priority rather than money. Is the thing you are selling going to truly, honestly elevate the user? Is your product elevating the user? How can you improve your product so that you would be really proud of the fact that you are elevating your users consciousness? responsible marketing cares about improving peoples lives cares about marketing health and not disfunction. It doesn't want to addict people. It wants to offer permanent solutions to their problems. Key takeaways from this episode: Start to notice how marketing is unhealthy, just how much of it around you there is and start to notice that marketing doesn't just pertain to TV adds but to a lot of other stuff that you normally don't consider as marketing Start to notice a few of healthy marketing out there that exist and try to see what is the ratio of healthy to unhealthy. Ask yourself is that elevating me or is this dragging the humanity down? Stop expecting that truth will trickle down to your from up above. That society will speed feed you with truth - it wont. Go out of your way to find the unmarketed gems (the books, the seminars, the teachers) . This is really how you advance yourself in life. You don't sit back and wait for gems to come to you, you don't wait me for tell them to you

Enlightenment Experience Explanation & Key Lessons Projecting ideas onto teachers. ... careful projections and expectations..(my reputation is on the line...) 6 -11min Everything is in the present moment, everything I need , every lesson i need is right here in the present moment, I don't need a trip to go somewhere, I am inside the absolute (consciousness) I) just need to slow my mind down to connect with it Of course my psyche and neurons,all habits and emotional reactions didn't get completely rewired in one day after some of these peaks your mind comes back and kicks in Whatever experiences you have it will require a lot of integration work and a lot of follow up work for the full embodyment because the absolute is independent of your mind but your mind still has a lot of momentum behind it it has an entire lifetime of the stuff that you do There are different methods to trigger enlightenment and different methods work for different people and every method has its pros and cons I am blown away by some of the substances in my own life not just for having peak experiences but for really transforming how I behave on a daily basis Potential of substances (most people don't speak from experience, all they have is dogma) The broader your research goes, the more you will see how tricky this subject is and just how non-trivial it is to determine which teacher or teaching is deluded or not deluded or which one is deeper than another one Don't think you got to the end of the rainbow if you have some deep experience on psychedelics or not, great but don't think you are done, whatever experiences you have be open that it could be more I don't claim to be fully enlightened or partially enlightened, I don't wanna play that game it doesn't really interest me what interests me the profound experiences that I am able to have, how consistently I am able to have them how much are they able to transform my life 50min Key Lessons: one thing that is lacking in peoples lives is authenticity, what you want in your life is 100% authenticity, because it feels good... what is the point of life? to feel good. significance of fear as a pillar of all personal development, overcoming your fear, facing your fears head on and using your heart, the power of love to break trough all of your fears. power of radical honesty - we are very rarely honest with other people and with our selves, its hard for you to look at the truth because the truth disturbs you so much, it irritates you emotionally it makes you uncomfortable, that's because that's something that needs to be cultivated. Self-honesty needs to be cultivated in a radical way where every single day you open yourself up a little bit more to the stinging truths (they sting your ego - that which is inauthentic within you-so let it sting you and let that kill your ego every single day). Every single day, hour you are presented with little opportunities to either kill off your ego and suffocating it or expanding it, and this is where this principle comes to mind - authentic suffering. There is 2 types of suffering authentic suffering and inauthentic suffering. 57min you can face truth a little bit every day... face the truth with your relationship, your own physical body -how you feel about it, face the truth about your financial situation, face the truth you have been procrastinating on... procrastination is not willing to face some legitimate suffering and so we invent distractions and this is where addictions come from... this is huge the importance of no-mind - working towards a state of no-mind - shutting down all of your thoughts... (that's why buddhist stress the importance of mindfulness on a minute to minute basis - because the absolute is right here...) selfless living...if your passion is grounded in your heart, that passions will not get extinguished by these awakenings it will actually get strengthened but if your passion is grounded in ego than those will certainly get extinguished but that is actually what you want, that is what you call spiritual purification, this is where you deepest growth comes from...your passions need to transition from being shallow egoic passions to being deep, Devine passions, passions that are much larger than yourself, that involve the entire universe not just your little self, your little family, your little group of friends, your little company or something like that. -non-doership - What you need to become conscious of is that you are not in control of anything in this life. every single word coming out of your mind, every single though you are having is completely inevitable and couldn't be otherwise. I am not in control of what I am saying here to you, this is being fueled by a higher source and what I need to do is just purify myself of my own personal bullshit, my personal lies and deceptions so that I can be a better vehicle for this devine force working trough me. I am conscious right now that God is looking trough my eyes. Your entire visual field is God looking trough your eyes. Every little scratch you make is God working trough you. It's just a question if you are conscious of it and if you are surrendering yourself to non-doership or are you struggling and fighting. What you really want is your life to be effortless. How do you do that? Start practicing it. The way you get effortlessness is by relinquishing doership, this illusion of that you are really have a choice about things, you don't. There is no self to be doing any doership. The universe is acting of its own accord trough itself without anybody in control, the more you notice that, that is the place you wanna be living from. Life is so much easier. When all of the pressure is on you to be in control of everything, the fact is, you don't have control but you are afraid to give up control, that's egos whole agenda to maintain this grip and control over your life because it tells itself "hey, if we don't keep this control then everything is gonna fly apart, that is not true but is a really powerful fear . the importance of slowing down my life - self feeding feedback loop - you live a fast paced life because you are unconscious to begin with, but then the fast pace at which you live your life makes you even more unconscious, it deepens your unconsciousness, which makes you think "ohhh the problem with my life is that I am not accomplishing enough, I am not doing enough, fast enough, so you live an even faster paced life" and then it becomes a vicious circle. The counter intuitive move is to simplify your life and to really slow down- doing less work. You need to appreciate what you are doing and not just look for the next thing to do. why people fail with enlightenment, what their obstacles are - you actually think there is such a thing as a physical world,universe and you think that enlightenment is something other than physical death (ego death = physical death) the feminine version of this path will be different from the masculine version of this path, the introverted version will be different from the extroverted version of this path, people who are into love and emotions, very emotional intuitive people your path will be very different from cold heart, rational people.... and I am excited about exploring the whole field so no matter who comes to me I can say... oh you are this type of person and you have this type of problem, oh okay then this technique will be best for you.

How To Shop For Healthy Food Avoid: wheat diary corn sugar soy artificial chemicals Ignore the calorie and fat label on the box, calorie counting is completely useless and unnecessary, looking at the calories of a food is irrelevant, looking at the fat content is irrelevant. Only look at the list of ingredients on the back of the box. they are listed from the most present to least. What you will be asking yourself at the grocery store is : which ingredients are here and are these natural and whole ingredients or are these artificial chemical type of ingredients? what you are looking for is foods with 5 ingredients or less per box. ideally your food isn't even in a box or can.. all of the 5 ingredients need to make sense to you Never assume an item is healthy by just looking at the front of the box, you always have to look at the ingredient list. Cans have long shelf life because they have packed them with full of chemicals You want food that deteriorates very quickly. food that lasts less than a week, that is raw, fresh, alive. Avoid all hydrogenated fats and oils, if it's a complicated oil, not a natural sounding oil like olive oil or coconut oil, then it's probably some of these chemical created oils, these oils are very unhealthy avoid sugar and corn syrup avoid all boxed and processed foods (can are okay but still not the best), what you are looking for is fresh avoid complex preservatives and coloring agents, your food should not have any coloring agents in them avoid cheap meat and eggs What you are shooting for is as fresh and alive as possible, plant based as much as possible, plants containing different pigments and colors Look for organic as much as possible, go for least cooked as much as possible and single ingredients as much as possible. Good labels: organic grass feed and pasture raised (eggs and meat) vegan dairy free gluten free, soy free non-GMO Stuff you should never buy again in the grocery store: soda vitamin water pasterized (cooked at high heat) fruit juice k so v steklenicah, škatlah... raw cold juice is good very short shelf life, it only lasts for a few day, a week max) no bread of any kind and wheat containing products... wheat is the number 1 cause of all autoimmune diseases and chronic fatigue... which also means you have to avoid everything in the bakery, also includes pasta and cereal dairy... milk, cheese, ice cream, yogurt, butter... and all of the products that use that such as pizza all corn products soy products (also soy sauce) pre-made meals, all frozen meals chips meat (salama, ham, bacon, sausage and all processed meats) frozen deserts sendwiches and pasta salad avoid all pre-made salad dressings (make your own) dried soups and noodles (ramen noodles are terrible for you) ketchap & BBQ sauces (contains a lot of sugar) wey protein (the body can't process it) protein bars and protein shakes atlantic salmon, tuna 35min (big fish are often contaminated with heavy metals), canned tuna farmed fish (most are feed corn) - it's okay, it's not the end of the world but try to go for wild fish coffe, alcohol, candy or milk chocolate sunflower oil, canola oil or spray oils butter substitutes (margarine...), just use olive oil or some other oil for that artificial sugars and artificial sweeteners (splenda, aspartam...) corn feed meat or vegetarian feed eggs List of all of the ails on the grocery store that you should never visit again in your entire life: the candy ail daily meat ail cheese soda and juice bread and bakery cereal chips alcohol protein bar What you can actually buy: fresh fruits and veggies frozen fruits and veggies (organic as much as possible,) pre-washed salad mix 100% pure canned fruits and vegetables (not ideal but okay) - just make sure they don't have too many artificial preservatives there fresh cold juices fresh or frozen meat (organic and grass feed) pure nuts (don't buy nuts in nut mixes), raw or roasted with as little salt as possible nut butters (almond, hazelnut, peanut butter organic pasterized eggs organic spices. vinegar, hot sauce, mustard, real ketchup (low sugar quantity, low sugar) olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, flax oil and sesame oil almond milk, coconut milk seaweed, olives, pickles, capers, papers, hummus grains: gluten free oatmeal, kinwa, rice, beans meat and vegetable stocks in cans or in box cartons (good but not ideal) wild seafood sardines coconut yogurt dark chocolate 80%+ raw honey unsweatened tea, green tea pre-made meals: sushi Wheat and dairy - the worst by far

Mankind Is The Bullshitting Animal Homework: How am I full of shit? (different categories from your life) How am I a hypocrite? How do I make excuses for my bullshit? Whose bullshit do I complain about to distract from looking at my own? (this is why people fundamentally bitch, complain, moan, judge, criticize and demonize others so they don't have to look at their own bullshit which is difficult and unpleasant... and that takes all their time so they don't have to self-reflect. How am I in denial about my own bullshit? you need to self-reflect to get rid of your shit there cannot be health, happiness, decency or effective governance without truthfulness, honesty and authenticity. when you think you are convincing other people of your positions what you are really doing is just convincing yourself, the reason you want to convince others of your position, ideology, religion...is that the more people agree with you , the more peole you persuade to agree with your bullshit, the less you will feel like your bullshit is bullshit and the more you will feel like it's reality.... that is why a lot of religious people spend a lot of time preaching their religion, converting others when you have solid truth you have no need to preach it to anyone, truth is solid it makes you detached and dispassionate in a good way the only solution to this bullshit problem is: personal direct experience independent contemplation lots of diverse research, looking at and exploring many diverse perspectives personal investigation into all of the most important aspect of life and reality when something is truly important to you then you owe to yourself to do a deep personal investigation, to contemplate about this subject as independently as possible, free from the influences of other people and various kinds of group think and social dynamics independent questioning

35+ Subfields Of Self-Help Success/Productivity/Goal Setting (stage orange, most appealing to most people, most people discover it through that) Law of attraction (visualization, affirmations techniques, confidence you need to achieve your own goals) Time Management Career and Life Purpose Creativity Business and Entrepreneurship (generic advice or specialized advised) - a lot of people enter here Marketing and Sales Leadership and Management Money Management Dating and Attraction - how to meet people and connect with new people , a lot of people enter here Relationship - how to develop long-term relationships - different from the previous one Love - how to be a more loving human being - distinct from relationships, dating and sexuality. You can use love in all areas.

If some emotions are holding you back you have to study this sub-field. Developing your emotional intelligence will be life-transforming. Shadow work - closely related to the previous one. working with repressed aspects of your psyche and of your ego. Addiction and Recovery Trauma recovery - people who have been abused/molested. who have various kind of trauma, some sort of disease...chances are that you repressed and it's making you depressed, ruining your emotions, it might even wreck your ability to keep a career or be in a relationship. You need someone to help you with this. Mental disorders - bipolar, schizophrenia, OCD, depression, ADHD - requires specialized knowledge. Be willing to do the research to find experts who have knowledge that you need. Personality Types - MBTI, Enneagram. Even after you get enlightened you will still have a personality and you want to understand it. NLP and Hypnosis. - ways to program your own mind. Religion Spirituality - meditation and mindfullness, nonDuality, yoga, Psychadelics New Age/Paranormal/Psychic abilities (astral projection, chakras, OBEs, clairvoyance, near death experiences, auras, healing, channeling, (stage orange people stay far away from new age and spirituality because they view it just as some sort of delusion or some new form of religion, the materialist culture denies all this stuff, which is why it will require extra work from you to research into these sub-fields) Shamanism and Occult - make sure you get in order first the basics - emotions, career...before you jump into this stuff Healing - psychical, emotional, spiritual... Psychology Trans-personal Psychology (stage torquise) - incorporating spirituality into psychology Lifestyle design technical how to books Fields that I hesitate to call self-help but are still important. Politics and government Phylosophy, methaphysics, epistemology Social Psychology , cognitive psychology, antropology History and Science Biographies There is a lot of stuff, don't go around just reading about this, you want to be strategic about what you're reading. keep it to things that you can you can take action on, stuff that engages you Fields for newbies: Success/Productivity/Goal Setting Self-esteem and confidence (if you have a problem here ,it will carry into your career, relationships, into your feeling about yourself...) Emotional Mastery (because emotions run your entire life) Relationships Spirituality (possibility of completely changing your life and where you find your deepest growth), payoff is huge but the downfall is that it takes time homework: pick 3 sub-fields that you don't have a lot of experience in, and commit to purchasing 3 books for each of the sub-fields. Most people live their lives for 30 years with the same problem without realizing the answer is sitting there in a book that's how learning is, it's not obvious until it becomes obvious, it's always obvious after the fact. In the book there are more details to understand a topic in depth.

65 Core Principles Of Living The Good Life 1. No Ideology / no dogma of any kind 6:00.Religion (but it's not only a problem of religion), give you some idea that you must just blindly accept. The thing you are really after is the highest truth and freedom from mind. People who are dogmatic and idealistic have a hard time changing. If we put all epistemology in one principle then that is it. (watch video on ideology) ideology - a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy. "the ideology of republicanism" synonyms: beliefs, ideas, ideals, principles, doctrine, creed, credo, teaching, dogma, theory, thesis, tenets, canon(s); ideology - a set of beliefs or principles, especially one on which a political system, party, or organization is based: dogma - dogma a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true. "the dogmas of faith" synonyms: teaching, belief, conviction, tenet, principle, ethic, precept, maxim, article of faith, canon, law, rule; Več 2. Big picture thinking is greater than technical knowledge and always trumps technical knowledge..... you can have all the technical knowledge but no sense of the big picture and your life will be miserable. 3. Direct experience is king. Experience is the only thing that exists and that is real. ... everything else is fantasy/imagination. Usefull to cutting the bullshit society feeds you and the bullshit that your mind feeds you, your own imaginations, theories, ideologies...so you ground yourself in direct experience. If it's not present i nyour direct experience it is not real. 4. Self-experimentation- you won't know what techniques will work for you, resonate with you until you try them. Because we realize that direct experience is king we also do a lot of self-experimentation because by only experiencing different things we can know what works for us. And this is basicly how you solve all your problems in life. 5. Radical open-mindedness 16:40 - we recognize that we come into this world not knowing anything and that we need to fully explore every look in reality without pre-judging it, so we don't lock ourselves from great discoveries and amazing insights and truths. And we also recognize that the mind loves to be close-minded to new experiences and to challenging new ideas. So you have to be open to any idea, any perspective, teaching no matter how bizzare it sounds at first. Because we recognize that our mind will judge prematurely and cut us off from all these avenues that we can explore. And we also recognize that most truths in life are counter-intuitive and seem ridiculous and silly on the surface until they are deeply explored and it can take a lot of time to deeply explore these various truths and topics before we realize just how true and powerful they are which means we need to stay open-minded during that time. Otherwise we will just say this is stupid, this is irrational, criminal...so we'll do all that without exploring all that , is much better to explore all that which is not the same thing is becoming dogmatic and clinging to anyone of those things, we are interested in exploration and you don't know what you'll find. 6. You don't judge things that you haven't experienced. 7- Questions everything. Especially the most obvious stuff, assumptions, every teaching 8. Care about methaphysical and phylosophysal matters. Most people don't study these becasue they perceive them as abstract and not aplicable but no it just takes more effort and study to find the applications. If you don't follow this, you will get lost in the transactional, pragmatic way of life, business of doing chores. The depth of life is found in this stuff and having this stuff resolved.So that means you are not chasing just pragmatic self-help advice, that stuff is fine but you need to go deeper. 9. Genuine intent for truth at whatever cost. You must genuinely care about the Truth as one of your highest priorities and values no matter what the cost is to get to this Truth. Without this you will keep falling back into falsehood and delusion because if you are not willing to accept the costs that come from seeking the ultimate truth, you are gonna get sucked into lesser things in life- sex, money, comfort, luxury... and all of that is best pursued with falsehood and you will end up deluding yourself 10. Genuine intent to understand every point of view. Most people judge other points of view without caring to jump into their shoes and look at the world through their perspective. You recognize that the world is nothing other than different points of view, there is no such thing as understanding the world without a point of view. And your point of view is not the most important or the best so you recognize that by looking at the world through multiple points of view you can learn a lot, you become passionate about exploring them. 11. Integral thinking. 29:00 It boils down to the realization that every point of view or perspective contains some kernel of truth and it's your job to discover what it is. it's not somebody elses job to convince you of that truth. And this is where open mindedness comes in where you can integrate these multiple point of view, glue them together and really see what is going on - what is the methaperspective where we combine all of these points of view. What does that tell me about life, about myself, about humanity, society. .. by doing that you gain so much more than jsut sticking to your points of view and defending yoru points of view. This is the opposite of ideology and dogma because the point of ideologyand dogma is to limit your point of view and defend a rigid perspective on the world. So it's the opposite of integral and holistic. So these people understand so much less than they could. Integral thinking is the recognition that every point of view is partial never the ultimate truth, so we are exploring so many of them because evry perspective has a little piece , every point of view is like 1% perspective on reality. So we need to explore hundreds of them to add up to something substantial. 12. It all boils down to inner game . The quality of your life come down to your psychology. That means that all problems and suffering is Self-created and Self-inflicted. ANd this is very difficult for most people to believe because it runs counter to the idea that we are living in some sort of rigid, fixed, external reality. A material reality with unbreakable physcial laws, where it seems like all problems are out there in the world. And all suffering is created by the world outside of me and I have nothing to do about it . What is that other than an aspect of inner game, a belief, a paradigm. Master the inner software of your mind. 13. Life long learning and self-education. 34:00 You need to be compassionate about learning . You need a system for taking notes 14. Observation. The essence of learning is observation. How do you learn something? By patiently observing it for long periods of time , very methodically. Observe people, animals, nature, trees, your own behaviour, your own thinking process, motivations, fears, problems and neurosis, oberve when you suffer, when you are in pain, observe when you are happy, observe what makes you motivated, oberve what makes you depressed and through this process you will learn about yourself, the world , the mankind, business. Anything that you observe, you will learn to make finner distinctions in. Observation is related to the principle of direct expeirence is king and the opposite of that is accepting what people tell you. To embody the stuff that actualized.org teaches you need a years of observation. It's through observation that insights come. 15. Plan to meditate for 1 hour a day for the rest of your life. Meditation is basicly observation, you are observing the present moment and that ties us back to direct experience is king. Meditation is just pure direct experience on whatever is happening in the present moment. You are observing the functioning of your own mind , various body sensations and emotions and its only through this observation that you will understand how your mind and body work. And this is why most spiritual teaching cannot be directly related to people and you cannot sell spiritual adancement, psychological maturity, wisdom because the only way they can get those things is by doing the observational work that is required to have those insights and understandings, to have that base of experience. You cannot give me money and in turn become a master piano player, the only way you can become a master piano player is by going through all the direct experience and practice and observation that a master piano player has that makes him a master. No amount of listening to me or paying me any amount of money will get you the observational experience that you need to understand the functioning of your own mind-body. Meditation is one of the most important habits for personal development 16. Ego is the roof of all human problems and suffering. 44:45 The ego is just that sense of you that you were born, that you are that human being right there and that you will die one day, that you had a personal history. 17. Self-deception. The biggest thing you need to be worrying about. How your own mind lies and tricks you and deceives you. 18. Self-bias. You need to be able to see in yourself your own biases and selfishness, you need to see within yourself how the ego self distorts everything that it perceives because the whole purpose of the self is to survive. And therefore you will be looking and manipulating circimstances in order to serve yourself and therefore your perceptual system is self-biased, filled with conflicts of interests and double standards. 19. All fear, all judgement, anger and suffering are delusion and falsehood. When we realize the truth all fear,judgement, suffering will turn out to be false. 20. Do not demonize anyone. Anytime you think of somebody or something as evil you are wrong. 21. Reality is perfect. 22. The purpose of life is to raise your consciousness. 23. The purpose of life is to raise your capacity to love 24. The purpose of life is o take in the beauty of life. Notice the beauty in the hard things . It's very hard to see the beauty when yo uare dealing with a situation that is affecting your survival needs. 25. The purpose of life is to feel alive everyday. To live proactively. Being more conscious and less robotic and mechanical. 26. Build your metaphysical connection to reality. Video: what is spirituality. It'c connecting to yourself as the entire universe. 27. Counter intuitiveness - reality is counterintuitive. That means that reality will work the opposite of how you think it will work. Examle: Attracting women. Bragging and trying to impress the girl makes ger run away. Happiness, fear, emotions are counter intuitive. A counterintuitive proposition is one that does not seem likely to be true when assessed using intuition, common sense, or gut feelings.[1] contrary to what one would intuitively expect. 28. Do the opposite of what people are doing. Most people are not happy and neither successful, most people have mediocre results in all areas of life. 28. Non-duality is the ultimate truth, reality is nonDual soo all boundaries, categories and distinctions ultimately collapse. They are all relative. There is no distinction between inside, outside, physical-nonPhysical, me - other, good-bad, black,white, living-nonLiving.... And as you keep doing consciousness work, all will collapse in one unity, one Truth. relative - considered in relation or in proportion to something else. "the relative effectiveness of the various mechanisms is not known" synonims: comparative, respective, comparable, correlative, parallel, corresponding, reciprocal "the relative importance of each factor" 29. Absolute truth exist but it cannot thought, believed, imagined, communicated, spoken, written, proven or argued 30. Reality is not material. Reality is not a physical object of any kind. Reality is a giant mind. 31. Life is a dream. There is no external world beyond this dream that you are in. It's the same as with dreams, you have to awaken . This principle helps you disidentify from all of the attachments that you have to this dream. You start to take the dream less seriously. 32. Reality is infinite and god is a real thing 33. You are god, you are the entire universe. 34. God is the devil. Inmportant so you are not bothered as much by evil becasue you see that behind that evil is a higher intelligence, it exists for a reason, it's part of infinity, it's part of the stuff that you have to love and embrace. 35. All identity is relative and fluid. There is no identify within reality other than oneness. And this is how god or the devil works through creating these identities, but all of these are malable, changable. And that's a good thing because then you can change what you identify with, you can disidentify with your body mind and identify witrh the ultimate, the absolute, the truth. 36. 99.999% are deluded and asleep. And don't know about any of the things that I'm explaining here. Most people are so asleep that you cannot look for advice or guidance from them, if you look at them you see they do stupid stuff and if you emulate them you will do stupid stuff. 37. Society is still in the dark ages. And that's why you are not getting all the confirmation from society, you are assuming that society is more advanced than it is. So don't expect for society to give you these answers through social media or TV, society is not about how to live the good life. The stuff you learn from society is how to live a mediocre, miserable life. 38. Development and awakening. BOTH. You want to awaken from the dream that you are in but you also have to master how to live in the dream and develop yourself within the dream. If you only develop yourself but not awaken, you will get lost in the dream and you will suffer. If you only awaken but not develop, you will not have any mastery or excellence of living ion the dream. You need both and initially you will need a lot of development prior to thinking about awakening. 39. Figure out who you are and what do you want out of life. This allows you to make decisions and allows you to channel the energy to those things that you want. You will not randomly get the stuff good stuff and a good life by not knowing what you want. You want to be very clear and decisive about what you want. 40. Authenticity. You need to be striving to be mroe and more authentic in your life. It's only when you are being authentic when you are satisfied and happy. And a lot of what society programs you with reasons and incentives to be inauthentic, all during school, when yo uare dating people and when yo uare at work ... you were thought to be inauthentic as a survival strategy. So you don't even know what it means and feels to be authentic, how you should hold your body, speak, smile... all of this stuff is so fake for most people. So you need to get in touch with your authenticity, strip away all the layers of social conditioning that is preventing you from being authentic and all the fears, worries.. such that you are able to express your deepest being, values... you need to be able to express that effortlessly. You career needs to be authentic, your speech has to be authentic, your eye contact , your relationships. But to do that you first need to discover who you are and what you truly want very clearly and also you have to discover the fears and incentives that keep you inauthentic. 41. You need to develop a life purpose. A sense of what your doing in life 42. Take 100% responsibility for your life and don't blame anyone-. Observe yourself blaming people and stop doing it. By assuming responsibility yo uassume the burden of solving every problem that comes your way and that makes you very resourceful and creative. Most people come up with excuses and blame others. 43. Be a leader. Lead yourself, lead others around you. Don't wait other people to inspire you, to motivate you, to tell you what to do. Be proactiv,e be decisive. Take risks it also connect to the principle of living a life and feeling alive. This is how you feel alive. By being a leader, proactive and decisive. 44. Be a creator. Tap into the joy of creativity. Provide massive value to mankind as a creator. How do I contribute to society and improve the world? People who don't have a a life purpose will pick a life purpose unconsciously and then become nazis that fill that need with demonizing others instead of spending it on the real deal. 45. Reason and rationality cannot be trusted all the highest insights and truths and trans-rational, not irrational, not less than rational but beyond rational. 46. Embrace paradox confusion and not knowing. Reason feel reasonable to the one who is reasoning, this is self-deception and bias. Reason in not a vehicle toward truth. Reason in used to justify your egoic agenda. 46. Embrace paradox, confusion and not knowing. - video how to deal with uncertainity 47. Emotional mastery. To develop emotional mastery you have to feel deeper into your emotions, to become mroe conscious of what those are. An angry person does not feel their emotions, they just act them out robotically. It's the emotions that are ruling your thinking process and behavior. Reasons and backwards rationalizations come after the fact , Your left brain confubulates these reasons later to justify whatever you are doing emotionally, driving you emotionally. 48. Integrate the masculine and the feminine 49. Non-manipulation 50. Everything is realtive (except the Absulute,(T)ruth.). That means it's only known in relation to something else. 51. Context over facts. - video understanding reContextualization. 52. Pull from hundreds of diverse sources (so you don't get stuck in any one perspective or paradigm 53. Satisfy your base needs so that you stopped craving - video how to self-actualized using the maslows hiearchy of needs 54. Master your basic survival and livelihood. Learn how to to business before thinking about enlightenment. How to pay you rent, buy your own food..learn how to survive on your own so you can be self-sufficient. This is ideally what you should be doing in your teens and 20s, and you should have this solved by 30 if not sonner. 55. Mastery. You need one thing that you will commit to become a master in. - video Mastery 56. Beware of distractions - video 57. Systems thinking. Learn to think in terms of systems, learn to see systems at work everywhere and develop awareness for the ecological interconnectedness of things. - video Intro to systems thinking. 58. Be a good citizen and be conscious of your ecological footprint. You are the part of the whole and your connected to the whole. Are you contributing to the lowering of consciousness or highering? Are you contributing to problems or are you helping to solve the problems? 59. Be strategic - how to be a strategic motherfucker 1:56:00 - most people don't know what they want in 10 years and don't know what will move them towards that. They don't connect small goals with big goals 60. Happiness is only possible with enlightenment 61. No material possession will ever make you happy 62. Be happy all by yourself 63. Keep your life simple and spartan - not just objects but also social obligations, family, obligations - video minimalizm 64. Without practice, exercises and techniques there will be no results. Theory in and of itself will not produce much results. 65. Do not turn actualized.org into an ideology

"You can see the whole history of philosophy: every answer has brought thousands of unnecessary questions. It has not been an answer, it has been a problem" – Osho That was funny

@LiakosN Mind=bondage to something. The mind is an energetic parasitic system. The content of experience is the mind. The mind is like a vampire that is sucking the life energy out of the body for it's own survival. It stores the energy in the body in form of some tension. When the right time/environment factors are triggered the stored emotional energy manifests as a reaction that moves the body in a certain direction. Behind every reaction there is a thought. These thoughts are subconscious but when we bring them to the surface, to our conscious awareness then we can analyze them and write them on paper. Then after that the content cycle repeats but this time, there is more wakefullness of the thoughts that manifested the experience and then one can use empowering statements to self-correct (speak out loud) and then the fundamental crystals that store the memories are transformed to be more in alignment. This is a process of waking up from dualistic egoic living, it's based on awareness, self-correction, transformation, transmutation, transcendence and integration.

@11modal11 Practice empowering affirmations and reviewing your goals every morning. That's it.

@phoenix666 Great report! Thanks.

@pluto8 I have received mindlabpro nootropics just about 1 week ago. It has a pleasant calming effect, it helps prolong meditations and make them more effective.

@astrokeen Don't ask me, ask yourself, the answers you'll receive will be better. Here are my two cents. God is everything that is. When you realize how thoughts affect everything around you and the non-physical realm, you also realize that you are something beyond what you perceive as yourself, consciousness expands and so, you are more conscious of what that is. When contact happens, you get an enlightenment experience of the interconnectedness of the unified field, you simply become conscious that there is something beyond yourself, that you cannot perceive, but non the less it is there and it connects everything that is This is not something you should put all your attention into because it's not really that important (unless it happens on a bigger collective scale), use it like a supplement to embody more understanding, higher perspectives, love, peace and to become more conscious of what God is.
