If a younger cousin or someone I cared about knew I was into Actualized.org content for years and asked me this, I would tell them to avoid the past year or two of content because it could mess them up psychologically. Without even talking about solipsism, there are a lot of traps and delusions you can fall into if you jump straight into the deep end without years of preparatory knowledge and practices. The simplest lesson plan I could make would be to sort all the videos oldest to newest, and watch no more than 4 videos per week and integrate the teachings as you go. Connect with Leo as another confused 20-something human before you try to connect with him as a God. If you're curious what everybody is talking about here you can watch the spiritual enlightenment playlist, but be very careful.

For the right kind of person, I think I'm in favor of having your retirement in the middle of your life instead of at the end, if you can wing it. When you turn 65 you've got all the money and time, but your body probably won't be in a position to do all the cool stuff you wanted to do in your 20s and 30s. Plus there's a good chance you'll die before you hit 65 and never get to enjoy retirement at all. So consider "retiring" now at the prime of your life and going back to work later. I guess in a way I "retired" from the conventional workforce in 2017 and haven't done any significant work (less than part-time) since. If you've saved up enough money to take a "life sabbatical" for a year where you travel and only work on your passion project for 10 hours a week, go for it. Just be aware of how it will set you back in other areas of life like home ownership. Personally I hate flying and don't care much about travel so I'd probably just want to save a bit longer until I can afford to buy a homestead that I'd be happy to spend the rest of my life on. Rent or mortgage is probably the biggest expense for most people. Once you own a home that's totally paid off, you can "semi-retire" in the sense that your cost of living is probably only around $20k/year in lots of places.

I went down the free energy rabbit hole once and I never found one that was legit. They might be able to give the illusion that they're producing free energy for a bit. But eventually gravity, friction, or some force will act on them and they can't keep going forever. They are basically just really complicated fidget spinners. I actually had an idea on my walk today though.... why can't we take water and separate out hydrogen + oxygen, use the hydrogen as fuel to run the machine to produce oxygen? You should be able to basically make an apparatus that would allow you to SCUBA dive infinitely without a refill with this if you could make it small enough to carry. Or you could have a deepsea underwater base that produces all of its own oxygen and fuel from water.

I don't know about EU, but in North America you can put human waste on crops and still have them be labelled organic. There is no guarantee that organic foods are pesticide-free either. There's a lot of devilry in the labelling of stuff "organic" and you'd need to really deeply research it yourself.

"31 % of participants described anal intercourse as enjoyable. Yet, when asked whether they preferred anal intercourse or vaginal intercourse, nearly every woman in the focus groups unanimously expressed a preference for vaginal sex." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4379393 I think you're confusing the female G spot with the male prostate. You absolutely don't need to stimulate a woman's anus to give her a G spot orgasm, or even touch in the direction of the anus. Watch Leo's "how to make a woman squirt" video.

As long as it doesn't create a legal obligation where I'm financially responsible for the kids or under any obligation to meet them in the future, I'd do it for free. I think in most places you can choose if you want to be contacted in the future or not. Or the kid can try to reach out to you through the clinic but you have no obligation to reply. I like the idea that I could be like Genghis Khan where 1 in 200 people in the world are my direct descendants. Do I think I'm worthy of something like that? No. But the human biological imperative is to reproduce. So if hundreds of women want to have my babies without any extra work or me having to even know about it, I wouldn't say no.

In a smaller company with under 50 employees, you can probably ask the boss and see if they're okay with it. In a larger company it's not a wise thing to do without asking. And of course it's not moral, you're basically stealing a resource. If you get caught you'll probably be fired, or at least not trusted again for a long time. It's also a big difference if you're doing it during work time or in off-hours. Asking "Can I host my video game server on company hardware to play with my friends at night" vs "Can I play video games on company time" In general it's just not a smart thing to even ask. It's easier to use company wifi than to ask to use their servers. Just connect to wifi and stream or do whatever you need to do through your phone.

Last week I was in Gamestop and a dude at the counter was selling a phone for $700. I didn't realize they even bought old phones there. Maybe you can find something like that and you don't need to worry about sales at all. Just find another business that will buy all the phones off you that you can find (you'll have to decide if the reduced price is worth it for the convenience and time saved.) Then half of the equation is removed and all you have to worry about is finding as many phones as you can at a cheap enough price to profit. (Assuming I didn't misunderstand this post. You referred to your own phone flipping business but then you're also talking about commissions so I'm a little confused. If you're working at a business in a mall selling phones to customers, and asking how to get more customers in the door, or have a higher sale conversion rate, then my advice would be very different.)

Yeah I highly recommend this. I set aside a few hours per day for a week every December to re-do the entire course. At a bare minimum I think it's worth coming back to every 5 or 10 years. There might be more stuff like domain of mastery and ideal medium that you missed.

I agree. So I guess I'm not actually a 100% free speech absolutist. Death threats, doxxing, credible threats of physical violence are a good place to draw the line. I'd agree with this if it worked in practice and people were allowed to make platforms with a more broad spectrum of opinions. The common saying for a long time was "if you don't like it, build your own platform". So people did... they built platforms like Parler. But then Parler was removed off the Apple and Android store, effectively making it inaccessible on 99% of mobile devices.

That's where you're wrong, friend. I want hate speech. And I am going to support a pushback against social media platforms that are trying to remove hate speech. Any time you find yourself saying "I think everyone can agree" you should reconsider. We can never all agree on anything lol. Don't try to soften the blow for normies by taking hate speech out of the equation and make it just about flat earthers. I want hate speech. Now try to make your argument again with it included. Free speech has to be absolute, including hate speech. The problem is what do we define as hate speech? It's constantly changing over time. I say I want hate speech, but what I really mean is I want the ability to say things that I personally don't think should even be classified as hate speech... but which have been labeled (miscategorized) as such in modern times. According to Brittanica, hate speech once included pornography! There are things you could say in the 90s that are considered hate speech today. Hate speech laws vary from country to country and over time. There are things I'm allowed to say in America that I'm not allowed to say in Europe. So whose definitions are we going to go by?

Learn how to make SMART goals - https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/smart-goals.htm To achieve your goals they have to be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time Bound To be a millionaire by the time you're 30 is probably not achievable so it's not a good goal. You have to make $333,333 per year for the next 3 years. Have you ever even made $100,000 in a year? Or $50,000? If you lay in bed for days at a time and don't currently have a job at all, then a goal of making $10,000/year at a part-time job or $30,000/year full-time is already a huge improvement. If you want to start a business, just focus on earning your first $1. Because once you can make $1, then all you have to do is repeat it 1,000,000 times! Maximum muscle mass isn't a good goal because... what does MAXIMUM mean? You want to be the #1 most muscular person in the world? It'll be a full-time job and will require steroids. Google a picture of Rich Piana and look at how big his arms are. Now realize that he isn't even the most muscular man in the world (and also that he's dead as a result of his weightlifting lifestyle). You want to look bigger than THAT? Why don't you start with a goal like increasing your bicep size by 1 inch per year by lifting X reps of X pounds in X exercise X number of times per week? Amazing social/dating skills is not specific enough. What would that actually look like for you? Do you want to get better fashion? Do you want to be able to hold better conversations, to make people laugh more? Maximum levels of consciousness again is a "be careful what you wish for" situation. If you really had maximum consciousness you'd no longer have an ego, you'd no longer be able to have a human experience. Money, muscle, and dating wouldn't even matter any more.

Where does your idea that programming or building computers is stressful come from? Are you just imagining it, or have you talked to someone with one of those jobs before to ask them? If you build computers on your own or for a small company, I imagine it would be pretty relaxed. Come in and work at whatever time you want, no deadlines really, as long as you get the work done. Same with computer repair probably. Programming could be stressful or not stressful. It depends what kind of company you work for I guess. I think every job will have at least a little bit of stress, especially when you're just starting. Even a yoga instructor would stress about things like finding enough clients, whether they are good enough to be teaching. I think you are on the right track by looking for something that excites you and feels worth pursuing, I would keep going down that path and consider more options.

This would make Metta (loving kindness) meditation a form of spiritual rape. The Bible says love your neighbor as yourself, pretty much every religion is in favor of unconditional love even toward your enemies.

Studying is just a means to an end. So if you don't have a life purpose or some goal, it'll indeed seem pretty pointless. First you have to figure out what you want to do with your life. It's a big decision to have to make at 17. You mention the gym. Maybe you could see yourself becoming a personal trainer or kinesiologist or a nutritionist? If you can picture yourself being happy and fulfilled with a job you love in the future, it'll make it easier to do the studying right now because you know it'll all be worth it later on. Just an example, try to think of some other stuff you're passionate enough to study about too. If you aren't sure, it's probably better to take a year off before going to college. But if you do that, you can't just slack off at home for a year, you gotta actually learn and develop yourself, or try out a couple jobs. You're fine at home now, but think long term. Your parents are going to die one day and you'll be forced out on your own. Even if it's 40 years from now, it's going to happen eventually. So would you rather try to make it on your own now and you can learn slowly with your parents support? Or do you want to be forced into it suddenly when you're older with no other option?

According to permaculture, there are 8 forms of capital. If you look at each category it might help you come up with some new items. Financial capital - Ability to handle the business side of being a musician. Making deals, setting your price or rates, dealing with clients who don't pay on time, etc. Material capital - Instruments, computers, amps, speakers, etc. Living capital - N/A Human capital - Sometimes called experiential capital. Like the experience of performing on stage, internship at a record studio, etc. Intellectual capital - Your knowledge of music theory, editing, composition, how to play instruments Social capital - Networking you've built up with other musicians, producers, event organizers or places that could book you Spiritual capital - N/A Cultural capital - All the songs you learned as a child, the songs that are popular in your society, knowing what makes a popular song I guess the big one I think you're missing is listening to other people's music and studying what makes a good or bad song. Picking up pieces and lessons that you can incorporate into your own work. Instead of just mindlessly listening to music while working or driving, set aside time to really sit down and study it, and focus only on the music.

At the most basic level, for me it's about not having to worry or think about money. Absolute financial freedom would be having enough money that you never have to work again, and money isn't a factor in any decision you make. If you want to start a Youtube channel or make music or produce your own clothing line, you can do it just for the love of the thing, without worrying about money. You wake up and do what you're passionate about every day. If you get bored of something, you can just switch to something else without consequence. For most people a reasonable compromise is enough freedom to do what you want for work, to work as much or little as you want within reasonable limits. To be able to have enough money in your bank account that you don't even have to think if you have enough to cover bills or not. You can just buy a random $100 item you want without really having to think about whether you should spend the money or not. To be truly free, I guess no loans / debt / mortgage would be a requirement for me as well.

The official term is "Trump derangement syndrome" I have noticed that in the past 5+ Youtube videos (I've lost track of how many) he always mentions Trump. Doesn't matter if it's talking about Infinity of Gods, States of Consciousness, Ketamine. Somehow an opportunity always comes up to name-drop Trump regardless of the topic. It's almost like someone made a bet with him to see if he can mention Trump in every video, otherwise I don't get why Trump is living so rent-free in his head still after 2 years. Imagine if your favorite Youtuber mentioned Hitler or Mother Teresa every single video. It'd be kind of weird, right? Even if Democrats win the next 2 presidential elections we'll still be talking about and blaming Trump for some reason.

It's possible that none of them work. In my worldview/understanding of how tarot cards function, then if any of the items I listed work, then all of them work. Because it would be the same mechanism of action behind all of them. It's like how you can put life into a puppet. It doesn't matter the form or shape of a puppet, you can use any puppet in a similar way, and it's always the same force behind the puppet. If you're a skeptic or think that tarot cards are just about setting intentions, then yeah, none of them work. If you think they're tapping into something higher they work. It's possible for tarot cards to both simultaneously work and not work. Or to work for some people but not others. Or to work for two different people in unique ways. If you think a forked stick or a couple of straightened coat hangers can be used to locate underground water (dowsing) then they can. If you don't believe it's possible, then they can't. Although some things like dowsing I would say are strong enough to override doubt and will often work even for skeptics. I think the same thing is working behind the scenes of dowsing rods or tarot cards. From a totally non-spiritual non-paranormal perspective you could say it's the human unconscious. I think things like magic 8 balls can tap into the human unconscious or a higher source in the same way. The difference is that a magic 8 ball is a much more limited tool, so it's more likely to give false or vague readings. Half the sides of a magic 8 ball are super vague or "try again" statements. You can do divination with just a coin and heads/tails. But the problem is you lack all nuance. Saying something is true or false or giving you a yes/no answer is something, but you lose all the possible technicalities or risks associated with it. Or you can decide that none of it works and ignore all of it.

On the surface this seems like a really dumb question. But the answer must be yes. People use tea leaves, pendulums, ouija boards made by Parker Bros, mass-produced tarot cards, and all kinds of stuff for divination. Stuff like tarot cards don't have any innate spiritual power until you put it into them yourself. You can do the same with an 8 ball.

1. You aren't taxed on net worth 2. You can earn about $12k each year and pay no tax I don't want to contribute any more tax to the system than I have to either, but this sounds like a "cut off your nose to spite your face" kind of situation. You're going to pass up on your ideal life just to avoid taxes? Also the richer you get, the more loopholes and things you can use to avoid taxes anyway.

"Acceptance as a quality of pure consciousness is not saying yes to something. It's allowing it to be, without rejection and without acceptance. It's a non-rejection. Acceptance doesn't mean "I take it on as true and that's it". Acceptance means let it be as it is and let's find out what it is, let it show itself. I don't accept and I don't reject what I experience. " I love this

Who gets to determine what's misinformation or misleading though, and where do those people get their power from? It's against the forum rules for me to tell you and I'm already on thin ice

You assume this is something that needs to be exposed like it's not already common knowledge, and that exposing it will make a difference. Anybody that's ever heard of lobbying immediately understands how messed up it is. Most people know about it, that corporations bribe politicians to get laws passed. It's an open secret. We know Nancy Pelosi does insider trading and nothing is done. When asked to pass a law to prevent it she just says nah lol. Exposing the problem does nothing. People take it in and then just go on their way. Eddy Snowden exposed how the US government spies on all citizens, and lied multiple times about it. First they said they weren't doing it. Then they said they only spy on Americans in contact with people of interest overseas. Then they said they only collect metadata. Then they had to admit they can track and access every piece of data you've ever sent. People heard that, just kinda shrugged, he was exiled to Russia and nothing came of it. If that level of corruption exposure does nothing, people definitely aren't going to care about lobbying enough to do something.
