Long time viewer here, watched all the video, have done the course etc.. Just wondering what your plans are for the actualized project. Can we expect more of the same moving into 2024? Either way what have you been doing with your self?

You need to buckle down and get practical, do one thing at a time and conquer it, if its money do money, if its music do music. Like I have a very lofty life purpose that required me to be financially stable first, what did i do? started being a minimalist, finding every way to reduce my "operational cost of living", that still wasnt doing it for me, I needed drastic action. I got rid of everything except my car, Went to be a truck driver and while i was driving i could continue my education Audios, Courses, Wealth building ETC while not taking Debt, Kept my minimalist principals , Now 4.5 years later I own my own time, Financially free and get to work on my purpose unimpeded. You need to generate a plan to get you where you want to go, if it takes 5 years to be able to work full time on your purpose thats what it takes you have a low momentum situation and you need to build that up.

The thinking is too simplistic, if you plan on living in society and not living monastically. Then yes, you need a purpose and infrastructure, you NEED to be successful or what will drag down your spiritual practice down the fastest is not having worldly problems solved, what do I mean? Can you take a solid month off and not feel the pain financially? How does what you do to earn money make your body and mind feel after your done doing it? everything is interconnected, once you’ve actually become successful in the world, this will help you grow out of “surviving in reality” to “being reality” see spiral dynamics model. leo talks about spiritual stuff because after you have made hundreds of thousands and your net worth reaches 7 figures, the most important thing becomes impact. If you want that type of life you need to do exactly the opposite of everyone you know, why? Because they have the wrong mental models and strategies for success by definition you can see what their strategies are based on how they live their life. Good tool “want their life? Do what they do. This includes look at your parents and friends are they making 6 figures? No? get new friends. This is the cost no one tells you, you have to become successful to have success.

@Leo Gura and anyone else who would like to chime in, has anyone had full meditative absorption’s for a sustained period of time while not on psychedelics? If so, to what extent and how long/ type of practice did you do to get there? ( meditative absorption in this context meaning, everything from stream entry to full on 5-Meo all time, experience and content, body, ceases into white infinity).

"I" feel moved to share this with you friends and Leo, I come from a place of personal experience however what i share is for you to hopefully take something from. A chime in on the question why is the world the way it is ? Its because it overlooks this basic belief and every video here does too. It is the automatic assumption and belief that your a person and your conditioning. This is ok for a time its the play of consciousness however this is set-up perfectly because its going to fail because you chase fulfillment through your projections and even if you get them you will not be fulfilled , you will always be chasing the next projection when you dont find happiness. The "problem" in this is because you hold this belief and through this filter you automatically distort your perception and perpetuate "the person" in which all your problems arise and create a illusion of the person and otherness. While we hold this delusion you create your own suffering because your attached to the "idea" of who you are and this one isnt a stable form of consciousness. The reality is you are consciousness and are using this form because you need it to experience, when you can inquiry and see this your true point of perception, the delusion of the person burns away and your now back in harmony and the universe is managing your life better than "you" ever could, feeling of peace and contentment are its perfume. Notice none of this has anything to do with concepts trying to fix "your life" through a broken form of perception will never work because the current perception comes from a point of delusion and is fearful and selfish. comments, questions? Life isnt what you think, Life is exactly what you think. a paradox to ponder see this one and now your onto what i speak of in this limited conceptual form.

Here is the deal friends, The "story" is i am 25 years old I have been on this journey for over a year or so now, through my practice i have had full on enlightenment experiences the awareness has grown to such a state inside the body mind it feels like no mind just awareness and mind is just a tool to be used for practical matters. Here is the catch all this is happening however I am in management for a company and finally going to get the promotion ive been "working toward' this job however it gets time consuming and draining.. I feel pulled to go to hawaii I have a passive income stream and enough money saved to move, At work in the span of 2 days i saw 5 people with hawain shirts on plus a actual guy of hawain decent in the middle of the mid-west. is it trying to give me clues? what should do i ask you because you are me.. Drop everything and go or continue on this is a 100k+ opportunity.

sleeved on both arms quality art. the story is simple unconscious behavior + Fireball = a bunch of tattoos. No regrets, even after coming back home to the self it was all a play in consciousness.

It's all just for fun anyway why take Life so serious, there's no where to go and nothing to do but wave your hands

right you no longer blame anyone or anything, because your perception is now corrected and you see your not a person but consciousness using the body as a way to experience, and that although different in appearance they are the same as you. so treat everyone as you would your self because they are you as your playing 7.5b+ forms at one time to try and remind your self who you are and come back to harmony.

no tree inside a tree, no cloud inside a cloud, no person inside a human.

Leo, after all the psychedelics do you still feel trapped in monkey mind during the day? A lot of what you said resonginated with my personal expeirences, however after serious inquiry while tripping last year there was a serious release of energy it felt like getting hit by lightening after that day I've felt pure nothingness inside my heart space and my mind is silent unless I engage it to do practical things. when I walk I can feel me consciousness as space like awareness, the body is just apparent if I push the awareness outward in everyday life I can not find myself as an object, Is this how it is for you? The thing I would say is wether you engage in material life or denounce it the one reality is still the same, it's a beautiful dynamic expression, our true self uses this body as a way of experiencing its self and realizing our selfs through forms is its highest joy. Thank-you for your time namaste.

Thought I would give back and give a play by play on the soup. I had none of the items so naturally I went to Walmart.. all together using about half organic half not $38.17 spices being more than half the bill..

All our energies go to our body-mind. There are many people who at the first sign of a bellyache are ready to rush to the doctor; they take it that seriously. But the suffering due to ignorance of the Self is going on for lifetimes and nobody takes that so seriously. And this we call life. Isn’t it funny?

There is no need to transcend what has no meaning for you. Throw it all into the fire..

You say something is efforting to find Truth. But that which is observing this, is that also efforting? Contemplate this deeply and embrace your freedom.

Taste pretty good, curious to see how this effects the body mind, as the normal waking state is already like living in meditation. Would like to shout out to Leo and actualized.org in less than a year total 180 in life, all these quality insights and especially after enlightenment no comparison in every facet of life. If your reading this for the first time go take action, if a hard nosed logical guy like me with a military background can shed the human paradigm and shift into the timeless anyone can go... it's worth everything.

Im not going to argue, however people reading this dont get put off by this misinformation. This "loop" sensation only happens when you allow your self to get sucked into mind during these experiences because you do not have the skills yet to stay by yourself The space like awareness. Just like life if you believe your thoughts into existence and believe you are the mind which is the default position you will suffer it and that is like a mirror reflected and magnified with any psychedelic. you are here perceiving, you cannot be the things perceived as they all come and go, if you were an object of perception when the object goes you would also be gone, but you still here to watch this and every other thing go. Who Are you?

“My mind is struggling with thought activity." How to stop this? the truth is that mind is struggling as thought activity. Mind and thought activity are one and the same thing. Do not be fooled by this. Even the one struggling is itself a thought construct. Observe. Clarify. Confirm you are none of this. Drop all notions of being this or that and stay as you are. you are beyond all thoughts and qualities therefore you perceive all these. Not knowing who you are mind gains strength and molests your peace. Whatever comes, do not push away whatever goes, do not grieve. Everything appears just like clouds floating by they just come and go. Stay as the unmoving awareness, awareness and truth are one there is NO DISTANCE. Do not be diluted you are not the body or the mind stuff they appear because you are.

@Leo Gura consider this simple truth.

@Leo Gura would you mind considering my question, I am really thankful for everything you've done I've watched every video and taken your life purpose course. I'm not trying to make a senseless debate or ideological war. Just you've seen the real you, why not be instead of think?

@JKG Leo is right but at the same time don't take on these limiting beliefs it takes years, this simple truth is you already are. If you need some guidance in times of doubt read moojis vaster than sky greater than space. Do some satsungs, direct expeirence in normal states of mind and if you do them on psychedelics you will see the truth. It's caring for you growing you within, with every experience.

@Maxi that's the fun part when you leave the mind out of things you can notice everything happens spontaneously just as it always has but we were too caught up in thought stories to notice very subtle . Insights pop up naturally, everything has a fresh flow to it.

Higher consciousness is denoting the existential nature of reality. The fact that this consciousness is what allows, mind,intellect,feelings,identity all worldy forms and it's dynamic expressions to exist. Vaster than sky greater than space, no concepts can touch it, it has no smell, no taste, it can't be photographed, nor religions can't own it, it's not a person. It is ultimately you without you.

@Leo Gura "your mind is always on", "im a very conceptual sort of guy" im sure you notice these statements are riddled with identity. You have already had the experience you can see identity doesn't exist. Why not just let the mind be and you stay by your self? Don't engage or try to force it to shut up, just stay as space like awareness..When we feel "i" or say "i" it's really amazing it's the denotion of The spiritual principal in all, I am consciousness. In a round about way Leo this is to the t the definition of "being cognition" from your video so why wait to be you already are?

And realization
