Extremely profound episode that slipped my radar. Thanks @LambdaDelta for making me aware of this masterpiece. If I'm not mistaken it's the longest video to date, Leo was surely inspired that day. Video full of insights, like always, moreover I had the Awakening into Sameness Vs Difference or rather for me Oneness Vs Difference. It was incredibly profound, it was discovering a totally unique and self-existent facet to Awakening. I realised simultaneously how everything is in oneness and completely different at the same time, it was extremely complementary, like two opposites in perfect balance. So this video goes directly into my top #2 most underrated actualized.org episode, only second to How Authority works.

@No1Here2c Today when you go to eat use the knife to stab yourself in the leg. Pain pleasure, what is the difference? Sure you mentioned the sameness which is true, but don't forget the difference as well.

Hedonism is sweet poison Pleasures dull the mind, as much as I love pleasure, that is the truth

Then what does it depend in? Why is Ramana, Ramana, and you, you? If nothing bridges the gap then there's no gap but how come it's so fucking obvious there is the gap. How come you resolve such paradox? Contemplate Afterword: Only through the vertical axis of higher and lower states of Consciousness. The horizontal unconditional ever-present axis of consciousness never resolves this fundamental blind spot. Of course the higher-state chasing of Consciousness has all the inherent blind spots you always very intelligently point out, to say one: forgetting you're always fucking it, always have been and always will be throughout all the possibility space of existence; the One Infinite Absolute Reality and Truth, right here-now breathing, awake and alive)

Great post on brain fuel. Once you start experimenting with nootropics and psychedelics it becomes a very obvious truth. This year I'm studying neurotransmitters deeper, I have the intuition they are a profound key for greater understanding. Truly neurotransmitters are gates in the mind of God, that when open, allow for consciousness to flow in new waves and states.

I've been trying apps for a long time in order to use my phone for self-development. The results have been generally quite disappointing, only Duolingo offered consistent value but again it's scope is quite limited. Other focus/intelligence apps didn't really do the trick or I found them unappealing long-term (aka a hard mental chore, not fun). Some weeks ago I discovered Deepstash, it presents book insights in a very concise and entertaining way. If you are used to thinking from first principles, you can really derive the whole book from the key concepts presented through the app. I wanted to recommend it because when you see something good that adds value you naturally want to share it. I'm contemplating on buying the pro version, but for now the free version has been more than enough for my needs. As an advice, it's better to choose books on news topics rather than familiar ones for you, as you'll be able to expand your horizont of understand quicker. I read one on marketing (Building a storybrand) and wow it gave me the right principles and understanding that I applied just after reading. Check it out and tell me what you think. Stop doom scrolling and start using your phone in positive ways!

Of course and it’s all part of an upcoming UFC fight on Trump’s birthday at the White House.

Yes, you're right. I'm not sure about that, but if it happens doesn't seem to be common or maybe they don't survive much.

My prayers have been heard

@integration journey I have to say it's worth it. The amount of packed insight this app has is remarkable and most importantly it's entertaining and fun. I never found anything like Deepstash. I'm sure it will pay for itself, just by reading the insights from the money books the Profit & Loss case will be positive. I'm nobody to give advice but it's worth it the investment in my opinion. Books are too lengthy and inefficient if you're as busy as I am, having such breath of quality insights allows to get value every day while I'm commuting for example or taking a shit. You can get a book insights every time you go to the bathroom, just see how the compound interest will grow over time. I'll keep my exploration to find phone apps that allow for quality phone usage. I took the minimalist approach for years in phone use due to the low consciousness behaviour its systematically engineered for, but then I realised: what if instead of throwing the baby out with the bath water, I actually learn to use my phone for personal growth, that was the key insight and I kindly invite you to undergo the same process.

Imo, it can all be boiled down to intelligence.

That's when the epistemic process starts. Kids are extremely curious. Most parents just get overwhelmed with that phase and don't give it the enough importance. This is absolute gold.

@Jacko Oh, in Spain there's a free and pro version. What a pity you can't enjoy it for free. Thanks for sharing.

I have to say this is not the full truth, I'd say around ~80% of the addicts are like that, but if you watch enough videos talking with druggies you'll realise there's a 20% which has quite some head and perspective on life. True their situation is shitty and they recognise their addiction and defects, but also so many experiences with drugs make them have a different perspective on life that in my opinion is more accurate than the average traditional brain-dead Christian or Muslim Joe. In any long video documentary on the suburbs you'll find one of these persons, and they share interesting perspectives worth considering and not to be thrown in the same bag as their peers and the shit holes where they live.

I sometimes see little kids in their phase of asking questions all the time, I don't wanna have children but I have to say I'd love to contemplate with my child in that phase and inquiry in the nature of reality.

Cultivating the mind is a great source of joy. I have to recognise lately I'm achieving levels of intelligence I would have never dreamt of. This morning I was bombarded by insights, everywhere I saw an insight like a thunderbolt resonated in my mind. I'm still so young and look to the future full of joy, can't wait for the amazing live in gonna live. I would love to talk with my 50 year old self, I'm proud of my past-self, my present-self and my future-self. Let love inundate my life; may I be worthy to drown in thy infinite love.

It's possible to do both. I have an amazing personal career and do a shit tone of psychedelics and Awakening work. That's actually the essence of my profile picture. I'm just saying it's possible, it's extremely hard but it's possible, I've done it. As a matter of fact, it's a way to keep my balance, dreaming and awakening are like my two wings, together they make me fly.

@integration journey It's not a free trial, you can go on with the free version with adds as much as you want, as far as I know. Being honest if the value keeps going on I'll surely pay it, I'm reading the insights on the book 'Finite and Infinite Games' and the value I've gotten from a 25min investment is outstanding. You could use this app to read all of Leo's booklist insights in a few months.

@gengar Only God surpasses all standards, any finite thing will be a limited part playing in the overall perfection of God, every figment of Reality fits in each other like a tesselation, what one lacks the other is abundant in, you cannot ask a part what only Infinity can give.

Great point

Great to deconstruct the marathon illusion when I just committed to run a half-marathon next year

On Quote 545, I'll add another one: Reality is uncaused, self-caused and infinitely-caused. ~ Leo Gura

⚠️ Warning, only read if you are mentally stable ⚠️ I've done a psychedelic retreat, 8 trips back to back on a variety of substances (10+) in mid-heavy doses for two weeks. I was starting to get more conscious and infinite with each trip, reaching new levels of Awakening every time, it's shocking how deep you can go with psychedelic retreats, it seems you max out, only to breakthrough in the next session, I was blasting through every limit till this happened... So what I'm sharing is what I would have loved to know before hand. Most of the times the limit to your awakening is that you just can't get really there, you're not conscious enough, but as you keep on pushing you encounter harder and harder limts to break, what you will discover if you go hard enough, deep enough, long enough is a seemingly unsurpassable wall of FEAR. You'll be so fucking conscious that you may realize on the other side are the best realizations you could dream of, your whole life search, but that wall won't move an inch and will makes you recoil consumed by an incomprehensible fear. With some time for integration and contemplation, fear is designed to protect your 'self' hence imagine the fear you have of not burning your hand while cooking, multiplying it by a trillion for the destruction of all that you are and all that is, moreover fear makes you act in a flash and not to become contemplative, being one of the hardest hindrances to surpass in Awakening. I was haunted in particular by these 3 fears: 1. Death / Universal anhilation: I would die and everything would die with me, if I dared to take a step further and Awaken to the ultimate Reality of what I am, what God is and the ultimate Infinite singularity: my human self would totally die, I would never come back, the human life, all my dreams and aspirations, my family and friends, this universe, everything would vanish forever, like sand blown by the wind. It's not even that "other people" would find my dead body and cry over that, no no, it's even more radical than that, this whole dream, this whole fucking movie, would come to an end, I would resolve all of existence and become God in my Infinite Reality forever beyond any limitation. If any other particular dream would unfold, at all, was dubious, as I standed in the midst of an infinite consciousness singularity sucking me and all of Reality into oblivion. 2. Too much / Infinity A fear of too muchness, of overstimulation overflowing, of fuck it you've really gone tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo far this time. You've fucked it up, you cannot take it, it's impossible to fucking take, every part of your psyche cannot hold it, all safety limits in all dimensions are beeping like a nuclear bomb is going to explode. You've gone through these fears before, but never like this, never like this. After inspecting you realise that 'too much' is just a pseudo word for Infinity, what you truly fear is Infinity. 3. Insanity (totally losing your shit) Insanity, levels of insanity imagineable, levels of distortion, despersonalization, uncontrollable delirium, totally imagineable, no framework can hold your mind, you've lost memory, history, self, context, you only get context from two past frames behind you which dissolve into nothingness and no ground on the next frame but a chaotic flux of unrestricted consciousness, so fucking mad that you can't even call yourself mad, all personalities, all psyches, the whole of reality, an assilum, a delirant carnaval playing in your infinite mind tirelessly and absolutely awake. These fears are very strong and existential, I couldn't breakthrough them with more psychedelics but recoiled in fear again and again, the wall is still there and it needs time and understanding to integrate it with of course surrender and Love. These fears are here and will haunt you before your greatest Awakenings, beware!
