I use the brand Vanicream. They’re known for making products for people with sensitive skin

Also, never too late to live your most authentic life. I’ve heard folks saying they felt more alive in their 30s than they did their 20s.

Stop bossing Leo around! As Leo says, you are the CEO of your life. Oh yeaaaah

It’s like a buffet of consciousness. Some items are spicy, some are sweet, some are salty. What one considers too spicy, another may consider too mild. Etc, egg cetera

Work towards a strong vision for yourself. One that isn’t dependent on others’ approval or disapproval.

Seems like it’s working out for you, so why not? Perhaps you’ll discover Love without explicitly being taught it.

The ultimate scammer is one’s self.

There is no right or wrong way to dance passionately.

I would have it say ignorance. It’s truly a paradox. In the beginning it’s necessary to avoid ignorance to protect ourselves from ignorance. Basically, it’s an avoidance of aspects of ourselves that we view as wrong. For example, if you associate religion with ignorance, you’ll do everything in your power to avoid anything associated with religion. With that said, we can go back full circle and ask a fundamental question from scratch, “What is ignorance?”

I never identified as an incel, but looking back at my life I definitely had the qualities of one. The good news is it’s possible to get out of that identity, but that requires years of inner work and altering the structure of your life.

Very tricky to avoid. In the beginning it’s necessary to avoid ignorance to protect ourselves, but after exhausting that you begin to love and accept ignorance. Diverse perspectives would not be possible if not for ignorance. And we tend to take for granted the beauty of insights that emerge from inquiring into the “I don’t know” aspects of ourselves.

Unironically, I read all of this while eating dark chocolate. Life is certainly like a box of chocolates

Out with the old, in with the new

@Rafael Thundercat I have a ton of experience communicating with AI that I already suspected AI content from your first sentence, lol. (These detectors are not perfect)

Just noticed this random detail as I was listening to a Leo episode on Apple Podcasts.. Below, both images of Leo seem identical. However, look closely and you’ll spot differences. The one that caught my attention: Look at Leo’s top. Notice how you can only see the zipper teeth of the sweater on Apple Podcasts; not on the Actualized website. What other differences can you spot? Actualized website: Apple Podcasts:

There is no right way to dance unless you’re on a talent show

Being stuck matters if you care about living a holistic and wise life. It’s fine to be stuck for some time, but contemplate how your ideas about yourself and others is keeping you stuck.

The irony of your ignorance is you’re still seeing reality in dualities.

Here’s a megathread of solid advice

Do you also do yoga? How would you differentiate between yoga and calisthenics?

Very clever wording of you Who else is there to verify? Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide. You can think of others as different facets of the Absolute. Consciousness doesn’t need to verify if others are awake or enlightened or whatever to be Consciousness itself.

The future exists now in your mind.
