  1. From my personal experience I notice how my own voice, tonality clarity and flow in discurse are when I am clean in my diet, my exercice routine and other allingment practices. Basicaly what we see in Leo is the result of his inner and outter work. I dont make videos in youtube but I sing in Live concerts and I can feel clearly how my habits impact the way I perform and even my hability to sing from the heart. What we see in Leo is the fruition of his work, of unravelling the mind from all the obscructions and unecessary turmoil so it can flow easily and respond according to what is needed to say and do in every moment. Is good to admire fine art when we see it.
  2. Is simillar to the track I use too. For me, I feel the pain when I sidetrack from meditation, contemplation and observing my thoughts. Then I forgive myself for sidetrack and come back on track from where I remember I had lost track.
  3. For me if a talking head annoys me for the slow, mumbly way of speaking or even stuttering I simply stop listening the person for sometime or just stop listening completly. And honestly, even Leo Gura in his early videos, I could not follow it. Maybe even he himself cringe listening his early self. And I would understand since I dont miss at all the self I was 3 years ago, ot even the self I was last year. But today I like his way of deliver his message, what I cant listen is a Mooji ( sound stoned for me) or a Sadguru or Osho. Imagine a 3 hours video of Osho about any topic. I would sleep in the first 10 minutes. Maybe Lex think his way of speaking is romantic or so. Or he is inspired in the Rocky Balboa style.
  4. There are so many factors when it comes to what route a country can go on the future https://theconversation.com/china-the-rise-of-gen-z-will-have-massive-consequences-for-business-and-politics-194674
  5. I interacted with people with thia same vibe in spiritual retreats and communities. Is really people who are a pain in the ass to be around. I eat a good ribstake from local farmer. I dont care what any Guru tell me about Vegan non vegan or whatever. I feel my body and listen to it. This guy is just annoying and have some inner stuff to work, but only he can know what is. I saw his stuff months ago and I simply could not stand it
  6. This is going Meta, being aware not about the product but about the endorsers or the lack of scrutiny the endorsers have. In this case endorsement by silence. Nassin Taleb I think said something in his book Antifragile " I you see Fraud and you don't shout FRAUD!! Then you are a fraud. Is like if in a jungle I see the Jaguar coming and I just be silent about it, climb a tree and let my friends be attacked by it. These podcasters are working as Curators of content, and delivering to society, there is a subtle social responsibility when you are in a position of giving messages to a lot of people that follow you, because you easily can mislead people. Of course every viewer is an agent to what they listen and how they are naive or wise in their information consumption. But this dont take out the responsibility from the emissor of the message.
  7. I was having a intuition about this another day. Like, if the guy have no integrity, how far would he go? Pedo too. What a mess.
  8. I knew Tate was scumbag since first tweet post I saw early this year. But I 'am still watching the episode because I know sooner or later I can meet someone talking in distorted way about this topic and although I have my own ideas about the topic Leo explanations have some nuances that I didnt notice. The best till know is the truth that is spread into all Actualized.org content: Each one are a Instantiation of divine and sovereign into itself so respect is a law that cant be broken without consequences. Letting go of any desire to manipulate others or force or coerce orhers.
  9. Jesus , it is that serious? Link below say schools will engage in re-education to correct the warm made in kids by Tate message. https://www.wionews.com/world/uk-schools-developing-special-lessons-to-re-educate-teens-brainwashed-by-andrew-tate-550810
  10. Sometimes reading stuff I feel like the girl in the Movie " The Menu" . She could see since the beggining that there was something terrible wierd going on in the crazy nut chef restaurant, but the rest of the costumers were blindly in denial till the the shit hit the fan. Is really absurd.
  11. What is a dry herb vaporizer and what is Migthy?
  12. @RareGodzilla what is Tate giving men? What are they desiring?
  13. If there was not need to violence to exist it would not exist. Anything possible to exist will exist and guess what, everything is infinitly possible to exist. Point one thing that would not be possible to exist, bring up in your mind now, something you think that would be impossible to exist. There you have, even if is existing only as an ideia in your mind, is existing. You can fool yourself into denial that something should or could not exist, but in the direct moment of your denial it is existing. I cant belive violence out of existence. If you can do it, so make it, and then you dont need to make questions in a forum about if World peace would be nice. Would really be nice? For who? For the lion? For the gazelle? What is peace? There is a time when one need to stop trying to imagine things out of existence or into existence and embrace existence as it is, the peace of embrace all of you. I don’t like violence because deep down ,violence is something that represents a threat to the survival of "me". Because we know that today or tomorrow violence may be catch me and that would be the end of this "me". So, who is this "me" that would like the world to be in peace in order to be nice?
  14. Lets be honest, we kind of like the whole drama. As Leo said once in a video, if there was a movie with two peacefull characters looking to each other in silence we would get bored. Personaly, I noticed it when I was watching Avatar, the peaceful scenes were only relaxing due to the carnage from the violent scenes. We say we would love a shanti,shanti world and "only joy", but how much of our lifes are dedicated to cultivate joy? Then I was asking myself in the Theater, in my inner chat: - So, you do love peace,joy,serenity , but here you are getting all excited with all this explosions and blue aliens trespassing humans with giant Spears. And you are even paying o see it. Cheerleading to the blue ones to win and send those greedy heartless humans to their own dying planet. Is easy to talk about the, emprisonment, mess, pain, jail, lawsuits, confusion in the life others as long as that mess is not happening to me, but when is with me is not that funny. I feels good that I am not Tate, that he is dealing with his life and me with mine but this distinction is one more backstory among many others to keep me being me.
  15. Why bot both? You can be an authentic diplomat or a fake one. Sometimes I did choices that later on I saw was not fully diplomatic but in the time I did It felt the best option possible considering the situation. As Leo said in one of his many videos " Sometimes you will beed to take decisions without knowing all the variant consequences. This strive for perfection in every action can make you blocked in inaction due to excess of analisis. A diplomat must know his field of action well and his values so that when he will act in the moment he can be as sharp as true as autentic and as effetcive as possible without being moved by emotionality, It doesn't mean being dispassionate but feel the rawness of the situation and be present to respond accordingly. No matter how many words one try to use to express what is to be in the moment so much that you naturaly do what must be done. For me the close example is when you naturaly catch a Tool someone throw to you ( The Way of Peacefull Warrior style) You are so embodied that your mind flows and without knowing how,you end up doing the rigth action of decision to the moment, even if the action ends up yo be hitting someone with a stick ( Go ask Zen masters)
  16. @Lyubov in what world do you leave? You say : "Animals do not have the ability to change their beliefs or see the world in a rational way so they act out a baked in belief system which we call instincts. We can call this survival for animals because it’s basically as high as they can go but not for humans. " I know animals cannot rewrite their survival program in big or less gradients( because not animals are the same) and yes, rationality is a special feature from humans, frontal Cortex and so yadayada,. And for God Sake, unless you are one of this Victorian Christains who don't want to see that humans are one among many species of animals, then will be for me impossible to make you understand that is not hard to a human to act by irrational instinct an do acts that for another human could be seen as animalistic. Have you ever tried to negotiate with a angry drunk man? I did, I was going out from a club and this guy grabed my neck and shouted : I know you mother fucker, Is you!! You fucked my wife!! You fucked my wife!! i was able to escape and tried to explain that he made a mistake and security took care of him. But in the state he was was impossible to talk. So, I don't know where you leave, In a Palace as Sidarta, where you dont see Sickness, Old age, Death and humans behaving like animals, but surrender to the truth that it is what it is, and will not change so fast. This will bring peace to your mind. All this violence drama have a reason to exist, you can call the Care Bears to help us if you wish and they will heal our word with Rainbows. Peace
  17. https://eclipsevape.com/product/eclipse-vape-kit-purple/ I saw this pipe being used in Hammitons pharmacopedia , that famous Vice video. So just to check twice. Is this one a good device for 5meo? I have a friend who have the glass tube, that one with a lot of space like a bulb lamp. Is that one better or this one is sufficient? I am in logistical preparation for a solo retreat this year so any help with procedures is welcomed.
  18. I just watched this Documentary of Misha , the girl who live with wolfs when she was looking for her parents that were Deported to concentration camps. But end up was just a story, a lie Interesting to contemplate
  19. One Headline for the news could be When Multiple Streams of Income goes wrong.
  20. Btw, if you want to see one example of peace check the thread about Patrick bet-David and Neil, on COVID discussion. ? ? Peace is negotiation process
  21. In this last shit show that happened in Brasil, apart from the Bolsonarists that could not accept the result of elections or in other words "they were in disagreemen with the results" , anothe thing happened, I dont know of is in the news, I will search. But I said that in a Pub full pf people one guy with a weapons asked: There are any Lula supporter here? One guy said : Yes, me Why? And he receive a shot. Boom, simple like that. That go to court now and the justice will be made. But the violence came first. So what I said was not that two people in disagreemt cant live side by side in peace. See how many couples living together many years, they don't agree all the time. But certain topics in tje extreme can lead to violence, because one ideology wish to survive over the other ideology, but ideologies dont float out there fighting each other, they figth via the people who carry them and are not flexible enogth to say: Ok, fuck your political party fuck mine, lets just drink together. Some do that some not. Edit: Was not shot, was stabing with knife. The link is in portuguese. I cant translate that. https://www.cut.org.br/noticias/ce-apoiador-de-bolsonaro-invade-bar-pergunta-quem-e-eleitor-de-lula-e-mata-f61e
  22. Yes i thougth about this issue, if another person hold the ligther for me would be good but I intent to do it Solo.
  23. @Danioover9000 I am saying this because I have a friend from Poland that was always inviting me to do something she called Matrix Reading. And she is actually similar to you in the way she speaks. Impossible to describe he but she have this practice and of course her studies and plant medicine journey helps lot to enter in the field of the other and bring up stuff to them about them, naturaly, just front to front asking question and catching glimpses. I think is the practice from the link below. At least from what I read resembles how she explained the process. https://lifehereandnow.co.in/workshops/soul-matrix-reading/ Have you ever heard about it?
  24. This is related with this last post from Leo's blog about The current Prince Harry Book and The Old Institution of Monarchy. Is maily about the sentence below: Prince/King Charles is so spoiled that he has servants prepare his toothbrush every morning by squeezing toothpaste onto it for him with white gloves. I couldn't make this shit up! Just imagine what kind of rotten ego that must lead to. The post is this: https://www.actualized.org/insights/royalty-monarchy-is-toxic And my take is this: I have one friend from my past that was deeply addicted on cocain. One day with tears on his eyes and rage on his face he said: I blame my parents for all this that is happening to me!! I said: Why? Because they since young dosent matter what shit I do they never told me to stop!! They never punished me!! They ruined my life for letting me go with anything I did. So what to do if your son start showing signs of being an ungreatefull idiot? I was a teen and I know I could be like this if I would let go unchecked. So, How to deal with a child early enogth to avoid that he become the future Andrew Tate in the news? This mother from the story bellow found a way. By doing exactly what her 14 years old boy asked. ________________/____________________________ I know this sounds bad but let me explain a little. I (35F) have a (14M) son. I do everything I can for my son and make sure he has everything he needs. Lately he has been acting out a little at home and school so I decided to sit him down to try and figure out what was happening. He is my only child and his dad and I are still together. I tried to sit him down and ask why was he acting out. I was concerned if maybe it had something to do with myself or his father but he wouldn’t budge. I asked him was there any issues going on at school because if there was I would be more than happy to help him. I was scared there would be bullying at his school and I was prepared to transfer him to another school if necessary. He said there was no bullying and he had no issues he just felt like “14 year olds should act out a little”. I told him his behavior was not allowed in my house. His behavior consisted on swearing at myself and his father, swearing at his teacher and much more. I tried so hard to discipline him as much as possible. So here’s where the issue started. After a little fussing with my son he said “my life would be better if I didn’t have a mother.” I was extremely hurt. I said “okay.” And went on with my day. I prepared dinner for myself and his father. Not for my son. When my son smelt food he came downstairs and asked where his was. I responded “I made dinner for myself and your dad. Since life is easier without a mom there’s some heatable food in the freezer.” My son went absolutely crazy. He stormed to his room and did not come out until today morning. Normally I would take him to school but today I did not. He came downstairs expecting his breakfast that I make for him every morning but there wasn’t any. He said “where’s my breakfast?” I responded, “your mother would normally do that for you. But if life is easier without one you’ll need to prepare your own breakfast. Also take the bus to and from school.” After a few swears he made himself some cereal and took the bus. I suppose my son called his grandmother ( my MIL) about this and I received many many calls saying I was a horrible mother, that I’m starving my child and I’m being petty. I thought this was a good way to discipline my child and make him grateful for everything he has. I’m starting to think I messed up. So AITA Edit for info: later today when he gets home from school I plan on sitting him down to have a conversation that what he said really hurt me. I do not plan to bring up the fact he called my MIL. I have never hit, scream, or swore at my child I would never do this Edit 2: my son had a half day so I texted him asking if he would like me to pick him up or the bus. He texted back saying he wanted me to get him. So I did. In the car he immediately apologized for what he said and he said that his friends were acting out so he wanted to fit in. His friends got suspended today for something they did and they wanted my son to join. My son did not and he said he was sorry for how he was acting. I also apologized for my actions. Edit 3: I wanna say thank you all very much for your comments! When my son got home he cleaned his room and even offered to help with dinner to learn to cook. In only a few hours our relationship has gotten better and our communication has gotten better! Edit 4: regarding my MIL: she actually found this Reddit post ( not sure how ) and she is currently blasting me all over Facebook and numerous social media. All is well with my son. We are working on talking about our issues and he has agreed he would start therapy. Those who say I’m “abusing” my child have never seen real abuse that children are actually faced with. My son is safe and well taken care of. Anyways, thank you all for the love! So, compassion is nuaced.
  25. Are you paying attention to your dreams? For me sometimes is super clear when something I was trying to hide from my awareness during the day, pop up in dreams during the nigth. Like: I was thinking about a girl who I wanted to talk with and make a move to try something with her, but then unconsciouy dismissed the idea telling .y self some reason why she actually was not that much or other reason to not go talk with her, trying to hide from myself the truth that deep down( no pun intended) I really wanted something with her. So at nigth, in the middle of many dreams there was her, flirting with me and then when I made an advance she runned away. For me is enogth to know that I can fake I hide something from my mind but mind keep everything. And if you follow Leo videos for a long time and do some psycadelics or simply look around and realise who you are, where you are and when you are you must know that is all your mind. I dont want you to agrew with me. Just observe your dreams and you will see sprouting there stuff that you ignore here ( there/here whatsoever that means) .
