I thought some of you might enjoy this commentary on the TOE Leo and Curt interview. I did.

I don't blame you for not watching it all, it's long. And I don't blame you for brushing it off as baseless. Every "let's critique Leo" video I've ever tried to watch has been exactly that. This one hit me differently. But I'm a nobody.

Hey Leo, I don't know if you watched the whole video or not but my take was that the guy was really just trying to offer constructive criticism on your communication method. Specifically, the order in which you talk about talk about things. I'm in no way saying he's right, I simply don't feel advanced enough to have the right to an opinion. But I thought while watching that just like with you and Curt, a conversation between you and this guy Tyler would be an enjoyable experience for me and the average actualized.org viewer.

I agree. I had the same experience as the OP. Very valuable conversation!

Again just to be clear, this is not me in the video. I did notice he misrepresented your claims on that particular issue but I still felt like he had some valuable input. Although half of your discussion with curt was over my head and half of this guy's commentary on y'alls discussion is over my head, so I'm not the best judge, which I why I posted it here, for the people who do understand. Curt posted this in the stories/comments (or whatever their called) of his channel is how I found it.

I've heard of Bashar through the Aaron Abke and Brian Scott YouTube channels but I'm not that familiar with his/its teachings. I am fairly familiar with the LL Research channelings though, Ra, Q'uo, and the Law of One. I've found a lot of value in their teachings. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVRMm6i0kggMtjKecjF51t_0yp5ydPs8

I got the J&J in March. Felt a little crummy for about 24hrs. The weirdest side effect I had was insomnia for about 2wks after the shot. My mom had this same side effect from the J&J though. My wife got the Moderna in January (nurse) and she felt bad for a day after each shot but didn't have the insomnia. My step dad took the J&J on the same day as me and had zero side effects. Alternatively, my neighbor who is a type 1 diabetic and in his 60's had a bad reaction, had to go to the hospital, and his Dr told him not to risk taking the 2nd dose.

No, it's not me in the video. Didn't mean to imply that.

Are you familiar with the Law of One? Or any of the channelings from LL Research for that matter? If so, do you have any opinions on how that ties into your framework? If not, it sounds like something you might be interested in.

I'm glad this thread lead you to explore it! No, I definitely like the Aaron Abke material on it better personally, but that doesn't mean you'd be the same. Try them both lol. I don't know how I've made it this in life for without hearing about this material before now!

So I've just discovered The Law of One because a friend of mine turned me on to Aaron Abke. The actual text is extremely hard for me to understand but Aaron's videos on it basically explain everything about everything and it aligns so perfectly with Leo's teachings and frankly just "rings true" to me. Anyone else into it? Good resources? Has Leo ever commented on it specifically? https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKVRMm6i0kggMtjKecjF51t_0yp5ydPs8

I listened to Leo's summary on the book list. It sounds like it might have been recorded a few years ago before he started to give as much credence to the paranormal as he does now. Still enjoyed it though. Working my way through the Gaia playlist now. It's blowing my mind how many huge questions this ties together into one cohesive narrative!

Thank you all for the replies! I didn't realize there's a Law of One summary on the book list, I haven't browsed that in a while, definitely going to listen to Leo's take! Also this Gaia awakens playlist looks rad!

The show Yellowstone is heavily stage red. One might normally associate cowboys with stage blue, and there are a lot of blue elements in the show as well, but in many ways its akin to a mob movie/show where violence is always the answer, power is all that matters, trample anyone who gets in your way by any means necessary, etc.

I just discovered this guy recently and thought his teachings might be of interest/value to others here. He was a student of Ramesh Balsekar, who was in turn a student of Nisargadatta. To me his particular set of instructions are so clear and direct that they are hard to misinterpret and easy to execute. That's a problem I have with a lot of teachers (Mooji & Spira come to mind), nothing they say is practical enough for me to actually apply. I'm likely just not ready for them yet TBH. This teaching is simply "absorb these concepts, apply them in your mind, and change will start to happen", which is exactly how it has played out for me in my life so far. I know different teachers resonate with different personality type and people at different stages of development, but this one speaks to me so I hope it speaks to others here. The basics are: Ask yourself "what are you seeking?". His position is that we're all seeking "unbroken happiness and/or peace of mind in this lifetime". Granted, this could be debated, but it seems like a good place to start. He then argues the realization that there is "no doer" in you or anyone else that is responsible for the actions/thoughts that are happening is the way to achieve this. I recommend you listen to him explain it though because I don't want to butcher his explanation. I also type like 10 words a minute and this is getting long now lol.

I've really been enjoying this podcast lately and I thought others here might find some value in it as well. Here's their description of the show... "A weekly study of converging right-wing conspiracy theories and faux-progressive wellness utopianism. At best, the conspirituality movement attacks public health efforts in times of crisis. At worst, it fronts and recruits for the fever-dream of QAnon. As the alt-right and New Age horseshoe toward each other in a blur of disinformation, clear discourse and good intentions get smothered. Charismatic influencers exploit their followers by co-opting conspiracy theories on a spectrum of intensity ranging from vaccines to child trafficking. In the process, spiritual beliefs that have nurtured creativity and meaning are transforming into memes of a quickly-globalizing paranoia. Conspirituality Podcast attempts to bring understanding to this landscape. A journalist, a cult researcher, and a philosophical skeptic discuss the stories, cognitive dissonances, and cultic dynamics tearing through the yoga, wellness, and new spirituality worlds. Mainstream outlets have noticed the problem. We crowd-source, research, analyze, and dream answers to it." https://conspirituality.net/ Its also available on all the usual podcast players.

I thought it would be cool if everyone shared what Youtube channels and podcasts they subscribe to related to personal development besides Actualized.org. I'm always looking for new material/knowledge related to all facets of self improvement. I've watched all of Leo's videos, a lot of them 3-4-5 times, and I'm slowly making my way through his book list. I spend a lot of time behind a computer and driving and therefore have a lot of time to consume material in audio form. So if you feel like sharing, share away

I just recently had the most profound psychedelic experiences of my life as well on 3 & 4 hits of LSD using the Christopher Bache method of laying still with an eye mask on. I didn't use music like he did though. I kept vibrating into a million pieces that were consumed by/became part of an immense fractal geometry universe made of pure love, then the pieces would turn back into "me" briefly before exploding into fractal pixel things again. Also, my whole body was vibrating uncontrollably for the better part of an hour. Like the worst cold shivers imaginable, but without the teeth chattering, and I wasn't actually cold. Anyway, just wanted to say, I can relate.

This is probably not the ideal solution but I know a lot of people who have detoxed from opiates with high dose cannabis. They still had withdrawals but it reduced them to a bearable level. If you/she live in a state with medical this might be an option for her. Definitely cheaper and safer than ibogaine, but probably less effective in the long term.

I donated a fair amount to her campaign while she was still in the race. Not because I thought she had a chance at winning, but because I figured the more debates she was in and the more talk shows she went on, the more her views and positions would be normalized. The whole Overton Window thing. I was glad to hear she'd endorsed Bernie. Wise woman!

Other than the obvious answer of regular meditation, chanting helps me a ton. Occasionally I sit down to meditate and my mind is going crazy so after a few minutes of this, instead of getting frustrated and quitting, I do 20-30 looong "Om" chants and after that I find that my mind is much calmer. It's worth a shot. It's free after all and you're just sitting there anyway lol

I'm a pretty big fan of Roger's. I posted a thread about him here a year or so ago but it got no play. Glad to see I'm not the only one whose found his teachings helpful.
