"A man with one watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure" Segal's law

Absolutely, that episode is pivotal to my understanding of consciousness. The video on authority is also a gem.

@Natasha Tori Maru Agree and notice that this conjunction of human development and Awakening is what makes Actualized.org unique. You have self-development junkies that are clueless of Awakening and live trapped in a dream. Then you have Awakening junkies that can barely survive and glorify their poverty and low stage of maturity as being "beyond it all". It's when you combine both, at the highest level, that the best in life unlocks. This is in fact the essence to be understood from the thread. Be wealthy, be happy, live to the fullest and wake up as God and Infinite Consciousness! Everything coexist beautifully

Technology Strategy Consulting You'd be surprised to see me in person with a suit and in working mode

Yes you can, I do that. In my work breaks, I watch through the window and contemplate the imaginary nature of Reality and its raw beauty. I love watching the leaves moving and the trees breathing. If anything I've learnt in life is that human development and Awakening are the best combo. If you put all your points there, it gives the greatest returns and synergies.

Liberate yourself from the diversity of the world and plunge into the One. To merge into the One is not the sole purpose of life. You must go beyond - even beyond the conflict between the One and the many - into a realm where infinite ‘Yes’ and infinite ‘No,’ infinite truths and infinite falsehoods, infinite creations and infinite destructions coexist. All are one infinite reality, yet none are obstacles to the others. It is beyond the grasp of worldly language. It is That which simply Is. ~ Sri Sri Anandamayi Ma.

I recommend you to search about Sri Anandamayi Ma, the only recorded case in history where a being was born egoless and remained this way till her death. There was no beggar or so called enligthened Guru that was not astonished by her simplicity and presence. If you pay real attention and read closely, undressing the words to what they point to, you will see that a very clear message of God-Realization is being transmited.

Thank God, the blog assured some regular high quality food for my Mind.

The insight on generalisations and the role they play in sense-making is giving me a lot of nuance and granularity in my thinking. It's like discovering a hidden layer of assumptions in every statement. The mind blowing part is that it's impossible to not be general, because Reality is infinite in every corner so it's impossible to pin down any one point. I thought this was an epistemic problem but it's actually a metaphysical one

@Yidaki I've done it, there are no noticeable synergies. Both coexist and neither they step on each other nor they enhance each other. What's very synergetic is Malt and DMT. These two together create a whole new realm of psychedelic experiences.

Your work will be studied for years and years to come by the new generations. You're building the philosophical foundations for the society of the future, the impact is inevitable, it's not an if-question it's a when-question. Actualized.org is the cutting edge movement expanding understanding, waking up and evolving thousands of human beings. You'll see when you start doing live events and start meeting us all. I've talked and meet people from the Forum and man, your work transforms lives, oh sure it does. Impressive start of this philosophical series, as good as it gets and for free

@SimpleGuy If you don't want to be Awake and highly conscious, then just be wealthy if that makes you happy. Spirituality is not for everyone, nor is wealth. So if you love abundance, then go for it. How do you know that is true? Could you give me some rationale or concrete examples? You don't have much time and resources left to do them fully separately in one life time. Ideally you should be doing both simultaneously at different ratios. If you have the vision to become very conscious, it's easier to first start making wealth in a steady way that builds skill and maturity for you. Then after a wealth threshold (e.g. for me it's a owning a nice house), starting to transition towards deeper truth seeking and Awakening. This only works if you really value them both and have a long term vision in conjunction with ruthless execution and working ethic.

I've been years without reading/watching news as I felt they were polluting my mind. Now, I want to inform myself more about the world but find no high quality unbiased new resources. So any tips/apps for reading news on the phone and start understanding better the world?

Wild trailer. Def gonna watch it

Yes, if we are speaking strictly that's right

@UnbornTao that was hella funny

It's not only lying, it's deceiving. How are you gonna train your mind to be truthful if your job is to deceive. The caveat happens to be that to become filthy rich, deception is the easiest way. Having limited resources, becoming billionaire rich in a way that allows you to become insanely conscious and mature is indeed challenging. I'd say it's possible but I haven't seen anyone exhibiting the qualities to do both at excellence. The sacrifice and luck is too much. Even in human history, such convergence is rare, in my research I've only found a few Hindu kings particularly inclined for spirituality & philosophy in a particularly favourable time-space. Having said this, I'm sure you can be a millionaire and be very mature and conscious. Money like spirituality has many leagues and the fish at the surface are not like the sharks at the bottom of the ocean.

Yes, this is where I'm coming from and I've been quite happy about that for the last years. However, contemplate in what ways this is limiting you and your understanding of reality. Actually total disconnection keeps the safety of one's mind, but it's also throwing the baby out with the bathwater. After isolating and cleaning the mind for some good years, what is truly desired is to find high quality channels to evolve your understanding of the world. Doing so is useful for many pursuits and may impact your work, economics, friends and major life decisions.

Why do you want to be wealthy? Why do you want to be Awake?

Hahaha reminds me of the classic: Now Leo is too serious to post this stuff

I'm at point where my understanding and experience of metaphysics is so clear: as Reality and Consciousness is always present as the test field to explore. However, as you mention, epistemology of the finite is far more complex, as how are we to easily verify the existence of black holes, cells or of Antarctica? It's impossible to have insight and experience into all finitude and permutations of Reality, yet as incredible as it sounds, we know it's possible to grasp Absolute Godly Infinity all at once, as a snake eats itself and metamorphs into its primordial egg.

The levels of intelligence and development you're reaching are very inspiring. Thanks for walking the talk Leo

@Leo Gura Does DMT have tolerance for you? And cross tolerance with other psychedelics? Any reset time for DMT? I'm still unclear, would appreciate your input.
