I do it as well when I am holding space for difficult emotions and emotional intensity. I can see the different "aspects" of "me" interacting with each other. It is interesting.

This is very true for me. I have come across a big issue of myself which is having incredibly high expectations for men I date, making them feel "not good enough" and it is a patter im working on. How do you think one can work on this issue or support your partner who acknowledges this pattern and wants to work it out with you?

Age: 23 Originally from Mexico City Moved to Canada at 19 to pursue my dreams to study Aerospace Engineering. Realized it was not my thing AT ALL and finished my college degree. My focus these years was to get a solid foundation in a first world country so these years the focus has been finding my life's purpose and getting residency in Canada in the meantime. I'm in the application process so far. Grew a lot from moving so young thousands of km away from my family. Definitively faced the real world. Fully financially independent since I was 21, I am proud of that since in Mexico is rare. I have an online business and I am in the process to scaling it up. Financially I am doing ok. I have a goal to make 10k a month in the next couple of years through my online coaching business which will allow me to have the freedom to travel often which is a big passion of mine, as well as having more "freedom" of scheduling but also comes with other responsabilities. I am confident on my journey and have a healthy balance between enjoying the process, building through the karma and know later I will focus more deeply on consciousness work but building financial freedom first. These 6 years I've focused on building the basics on personal development like healthy habits, good self-esteem, persistence, constant learning which now is paying off allowing me to focus on deeper work despite being young. Love life and the journey of ever constant evolving! Both the ups and downs, and also being devoted and passionate to the journey of awakening.

I would say in general read their energy above what they say. There's a lot of people who will talk about being positive and uplifting but their energy is draining and you can sense it doesn't match with what they say. Definitively takes time to get to know people and trust them. Focus on your own fulfillment and development, and you will naturally feel drawn towards that when you meet other people. Set strong boundaries when you hear people talking about others, etc.

I’m starting to realize how much time I invest in cultivating friendships. I have 3 high quality friend relationships, and nurture them and grow with these people. They are mostly stage green (me too, but have been working for the past year to go up and integrate other stages). they are unreliable and I’m starting to think if it is worth investing that much time into them if probably at some point it will fall apart. There is not a level of commitment like in a romantic relationship or a family members. I understand that community and close relationships are part of our basic needs, but maybe it’s not as beneficial to think and trust these people as much as I do. I’ve needed their help in the past and they didn’t care much besides being sooo “spiritual and empathetic” what are your thoughts on it?

Check this out https://www.lawofone.info/s/92 For reference: “I am Ra. The Law of One, though beyond the limitations of name, as you call vibratory sound complexes, may be approximated by stating that all things are one, that there is no polarity, no right or wrong, no disharmony, but only identity. All is one, and that one is love/light, light/love, the Infinite Creator.” (from session 4) The Law of One material is a series of 106 conversations, called sessions, between Don Elkins, a professor of physics and UFO investigator, and Ra, speaking through Carla Rueckert. Ra states that it/they are a sixth-density social memory complex that formed on Venus about 2.6 billion years ago. Ra says that they are “humble messengers of the Law of One” and that they previously tried to spread this message in Egypt with mixed results. The material was channeled by L/L Research (Carla Rueckert, Don Elkins, and Jim McCarty) between 1981 and 1984. It has been published in book form, and the books can be freely downloaded from L/L Research’s library or purchased from their online store or from Amazon*. The methodology that L/L Research used to contact Ra is described in detail in the introduction to the original Book I. See the books page for more information about the books. The original audio recordings are also available, as are audiobooks* and text-to-speech renditions. Audio information.

The books the Law of One by Ra speaks about that in some of its volumes. Very hard to read and one has to be extremely open minded. It is a channeled book from other dimensional beings. They speak about oneness and love as a truth and answer questions about what is happening in different levels of existence. Has seven volumes and its quite fascinating. One can be skeptical yet you can sense in your being as you read that this resonates on a deeper level of existence. You might be interested!

@RebornConsciousness that makes sense, I didn’t realize that. I am living in a foreign country so feel like friendships fulfill deeper needs that tend to be fulfilled by family. Thank you for providing perspective

I was having a conversation with my best friend who identifies himself as gay. I asked the question what he liked about men, which I love to ask to my female friends, but wanted a different opinion. He replied to me saying that he was physically attracted to men, but for him, all "qualities" that men have can be embodied by women and vice versa, and that by him saying "I like that men are... " he is putting them into a box. I can see the validity in his opinion and how we are fluid to somewhat degree, however, I can also tell different trends and polarities that tend to happen between genders, like females being more emotional, and males being more rational. This doesn't mean that a women can't be logical, and a male emotional, it just comes more natural. This is also seen in relationships where, very "feminine" women tend to be attracted to "masculine" men. Do you think there is a clear distinctions between woman/man besides biological differences? Are there clear characteristics of women/men ?

These type of challenges really shape you as an individual. Think about how your self esteem might improve after going through a rough period where life felt shitty and very challenging but managed through and took the best of it. If you quit, quit when your mental state is clear, and feel positive about it rather than wanting to run away because (insert all the excuses your mind is bringing up because it is challenging, ex: doesn't align with your values). It is good to know that you want freedom and want to have your own business, but do you actually have it? Are you currently in the present generating your same salary through your own business? If yes, then its a no brainer, if not, think about how this job can actually help you to create that freedom, whether if its from skills learned, money saved, etc. Use those tools to build your business and then quit, don't buy the stories you're telling yourself just because you don't want to go through the learning curve, which honestly 2-3 months is not a lot. You might feel depressed, but life comes with ups and downs, and the rewards of going through this curve will be worth it.

Uhhh, it´s interesting to be creating a new topic. I am normally looking through the comments but rarely initiate conversations in this forum. I´d love to start this time and bring some love energy here. I´d like to bring some positivity into the forum. This idea came from me recording myself talking about consciousness, and 10 minutes in, my face became tired, and I was not able to develop an idea fully. Rather, I would jump from topic to topic unable to explain myself at all. At the same time, I started to get insights about consciousness, thinking about fear, love, and holism, and suddenly, actualized.org came to mind, as it has been an enormous source of knowledge and practical exercises I could do to understand these concepts. Through me getting tired so quickly, I became aware of how I took for granted, all the effort that has taken Leo (metaphysically, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually) to develop and "devote" himself to this work and ultimately to actualized.org, and would like to start this thread to send some love to actualized.org in its totality, to appreciate all the things that we have benefited from. So, I´d like you to reply to any of the following: How do you think actualized.org has helped you the most in your life? What are some of the most profound states of consciousness you have experienced and how does actualized.org help you reach those? How has your life (practically) improved since you´ve taken actualized.org´s teachings seriously? Share anything your heart feels called to share to actualized.org For me, it´s been a source of deep insight and has provided a solid foundation for a profound life, with purpose, meaning, and love. I feel like I am living my purpose, and although sometimes emotions/contrast comes, and still consider myself ignorant, I keep going through, exploring my highest potential.

@Squeekytoy Yeah, spiral dynamics has been a big one for me as well. What do you find fascinating about it? I've been practicing to articulate my ideas, and be able to express them in a way that can be understood. Not for Youtube for now.

What do you mean by maybe she figured that "she can have me", are you guys friends and its more casual?

Lol this is actually so good haha

Hey @Dodo thank you for sharing this information. I've been fascinated with this myself. What are some of the resources you have used to explore this and would you be willing to share more in depth your meditation practice with sacred geometry? Do you visualize the flower of life, is it intuitive and just let it guide you, tap into infinite intelligence? Thanks!

I have identified this as one of my core wounds. There is this idealistic/unrealistic expectation of how life should be at all times, constantly rejecting my current reality and the present moment. I have tried mindfulness and simply observing the thoughts and emotions, trying to not identify myself with them, yet I continue to get trapped on them and this leads to a constant state of dissatisfaction with my life. It is never enough, there is always the next shiny object thing/situation/person that I don't have and therefore I want. I am starting to realize that this never goes away and you just live with it. I don't know if it is the life that I am living that is not in alignment or is it just me rejecting everything. I try to balance both and accept what I am currently going through while working and pushing my limits to build a better life, work on myself, build healthy supportive relationships, connect with my divinity, nature etc. How to find deeper understanding and acceptance of this never ending dissatisfaction with life? What is your perspective on this matter?

@ValiantSalvatore It was actually extremely messy and chaotic. I was in a relationship at the time and had everything, good chemistry, depth, intimacy but the depth that you build with someone doing psychedelics, and shadow work is very strong. I had to leave my relationship at the time and event after trying with my friend and it not working and just being friends only for 8+ months, when I tried to start another relationship it really felt apart because I haven't moved on fully. It makes so much sense logically to let it go but emotionally It is tough.

It is definitively hard to have a strong male/female relationship if they are both heterosexual and attracted to each other. A friendship is a solid foundation for a relationship. I have a VERY close friend and when I met him, he would identify as homosexual. After doing multiple mushroom trips together, the intimacy and connection we built was so profound to the point he started doubting his sexuality and we tried to be in a relationship, which obviously didnt work because indeed he is physically attracted to males haha. Gave me perspective though, we are good friends and roommates now but it is hard sometimes for me to accept that simply we are not compatible. I think that is the case where friendships stay like friendships. There is no compatibility nor desire to go further for specific reasons.

My ex boyfriend does NFTs and did a very successful project with a team of 5 people making over 300,000US. It took him months though and they work with developers, and artists but if you team up it seems to be pretty doable and everyone gets a share. The key from my POV was to get into the space, network and cross promotion. Right now it seems that the market is not doing very well lol, but might be better soon.

Hey everyone, From a long time I have been fully isolating myself from everything that has been happening in the world in the big picture. I am starting to feel called to inform myself more about politics and what is truly happening so that I can become a more responsible citizen. I don’t really know where to source my information from and I don’t really like to watch the news as they come with a lot of fear based programming that I do not want to consume. Any recommendations of websites/ sources of information where I can inform myself more about politics in a conscious/neutral way? how do you consume this content/inform yourself? thank you!!

Thank you! @Tanz @abundance @gettoefl @gettoefl @Ulax @Ima Freeman

Yes! But my experience was very very simple. Haven’t mastered yet the art of moving around and fully controlling what I am doing. It happened spontaneously. I’ve been writing my dreams and find this to be key as you develop more awareness on the dream world. I started leaving my body and then got scared as I could see myself from the ceiling. Instantly returned back to my body and awoke inside of another dream.

Practice. At fist I would feel really dumb and self conscious. After doing it over and over, it just feels like your expressing your thoughts out loud. I think the crucial part is to keep an idea organized and go from point A-B smoothly.

I had a bad experience with Max Tornow and might be biased, however, in my experience, his programs cost thousands of dollars to teach you cold approach and going and looking for people that have money to throw away, go through their pain points and learn how to sell them your high ticket coaching. They are mostly spiral dynamics stage red and orange and really know how to sell you and get through your pain points. You are their customer, they go after coaches who want to make big money but you are the one that will pay them, look for reviews online, they are of the similar type. Everything he teaches is available as a much cheaper price online. Not worth it. If you want to star your fitness coaching business, That's great! Start learning how to market, sell yourself, and simply take action. One of the biggest mistakes I did while starting my own business was to feel like I needed to fully know how before starting. You become it, as the journey progresses. Start to put yourself as the fitness trainer you are. Of course you should have some type of fitness experience yourself, but what I mean is if you already have fitness knowledge, you can help people with 0 knowledge that would like to be more fit. I promise, one of the biggest mistakes I did was to spent thousands of dollars in courses and none of them have taught me as much as when I started taking action to promote my business and actually work with people. I am also in the coaching industry.

On one of my recent mushroom trips, I had a profound experience. I grasped more the awareness of -this is everything that is happening. This is it. This is the absolute- however It felt so profound and ungraspable that I totally blacked out. Basically I don’t remember that part of the trip. I remember it was profound and pointed me towards deep understanding of truth but also my mind did not understand and blocked it from its conscious experience. After that, having deep conversations about existence triggers some strong emotions. When questioning the idea of self, extreme fear of death comes up. Part of me -the ego- feels so threatened yet another part of me knows there is a deeper truth. My chest starts to get tight, I get scared. I start to feel anxious and that I am about to die. one time I was shaking so much I had to tell myself I’m not ready and try to calm down and not think about it. It is a deep fear that I continue to experience. I am able to intuit that this is taking me somewhere I just don’t know how to push through this stage. I feel an awakening of some kind coming I just don’t know why it is so scary and how can I handle this at all? Any suggestions/work that can be done/deeper understanding that needs to be studied/concepts that will beneficial to know deeper etc all welcomed! thank you!
