@Yellow_Girl Pay close attention to what I am about to say: All of these things that you have listed are natural limitations of yellow. We overcome these limitstion by doing much much more spiritual purification work on ourselves. If you are feeling the limitations of yellow. Perhaps it is time to begin taking your spirituality more seriously. This would move you into turquoise. More books won't do the trick. Only thousands of hours of spiritual practices. Good luck!

From a certain perspective, driving a car is also contributing to suffering. As we are emitting known carcinogens into the atmosphere for people and animals to breathe. I see that eating meat is different, because it is more practical to give up meat than it is to give up driving. I personally don't eat much meat... I don't like the way that the flesh stays in my stomach. I can almost feel my body processing suffering. My Dad occassionally brings back wild caught fish from his fishing trips. I don't feel very guilty eating these fish. My point is that the lines are blurry. I think it's possible to consume some meat in a sustainable way, without feeling super bad about it. Although it may be correct that eating meat is directly contributing to evil (especially considering how disgusting factory farming is), I don't know if taking a position that demonizes people who choose to eat meat is very helpful. (Kind of like what I am sensing from @Chakra Lion) The way I see it, the only way that we get humanity as a whole to eat less meat would be to realize that each person is on their own level of consciousness. And that veganism only arises when the mind is psychologically and spiritual developed to a certain degree. A spiritual master who eats meat is actually contributing way more to the abolition of factory farming because he is directly contributing to the raising of consciousness of the masses. In a weird way, if you are vegan, but you are not directly contributing to the awakening of the whole of humanity in a meaningful way. You are still ultimately responsible for the evil of factory farming. So, worrying about who does and doesn't eat meat is a less effective means of abolishing factory farming than worrying about how to awaken the shit out of yourself. And then how to help other humans do it to. Hope you understand my perspective. Cheers

Leo's book list

The content here is more tier 2. The concepts are very meta. Focusing on mechanics of mind that you yourself can become conscious of, as opposed to spoon-feeding you ideology. It is rare that you find any system of thought to have Actualized.org's self-awareness. It's not like science or religion is aware of what ego is, what ideology is, or how knowledge works. There is a big emphasis on personal contemplation, the videos acting as guiding pillars or launching points for your own contemplation. To an outsider, it may seem like the content on this website is a big new-age cult circle jerk of ideology. But, of course, that's the ego's projection. Ironically, everything that the outsider believes is likely absorbed from mainstream culture, which is the biggest circle jerk of ideology that there is. I think it's important to discern that the CONTENT of what Leo says is not absolutely true and is always fallible. However, Leo's content consistently points to the STRUCTURE of mind, self, and reality. Which you can discover for yourself to be whichever way that it is. This is what Leo calls "the Absolute." Leo's descriptions of the Absolute are always partial and can easily be taken on as an ideology (even though he warns against it). It's easy to intuit that much of the content here is being taught from a high elevation of consciousness, mostly Yellow, Turquoise and beyond. Religion and Science is mostly Blue and Orange. So that's the difference.

I've had it before. Happens to me a lot on meditation retreats. Basically, the mind is awake and the body is asleep. It's pretty terrifying. Feelings of terror, helplessness, frustration, anxiety, floating, euphoria, lucid dreams and everything in between are not uncommon. Even shadow beings! It's scary while it's happening! Important to remember that all phenomena are ultimately impermanent and that you shouldn't get too attached to the content of your experience if you do ever have it. It's def an interesting topic to study. I wish I could point your to some resources. "The Nightmare" is a pretty terrifying documentary about it. I will warn you not to watch it if you are sensitive to scary things.

Thanks for the good laugh! Yes, realizing you're God is pretty cool and believe it or not has a few long term benefits!! Leo has a video called "Benefits of Enlightenment." Perhaps you could start there. P.S. Please note that there are hundreds of hours of content on this channel. Many of Leo's recent videos require a proper intellectual foundation to grasp their full significance. Do you expect to walk in to a 4th year calculus class without graduating from the first 3 years? If you buckle down and devote lots of time and energy to studying this work in depth, it will be extremely rewarding in all aspects of your life. This is real personal development. What you're asking here is the equivalent of me (having never studied calculus) walking into a 4th year calculus class and asking the prof questions about what calculus even is. The prof will just tell me to take 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, year calculus so that I can understand wtf is going on in 4th year calculus. Study the content on this channel. Watching a couple vids isn't sufficient. If you want to understand 4th year calculus then you better master 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year.

good for shamanic breathing

I can't explain the feeling of watching this video. It's superb. Seeing a lot of the comments underneath the video completely miss the point made me a bit angry at first (because I have attachment to wanting others' to understand profound teachings) but then I realised how funny it is. Many ego's are so mired in self-delusion that God himself can talk to them with almost perfect clarity, explaining the mechanics of the entire universe, and they will still have a bone to pick. Quite the situation we have ourselves in Anyways, I see this to be one of the most important videos on the internet...it rings deeply in my core, almost like Conversations with God. Thanks God for sharing this level of clear insight and wisdom. I'm feeling a surge of motivation to take my own spirituality even more seriously. Soon I will be conscious of You as Me as well. Godspeed, Adam

@StarStruck tbh if you dont realize that you have already watched a video before then you could probably benefit from watching it a second time

@Thought Art Thanks a lot! Great ideas in here. @AlterEgo Thanks as well

Is there a specific process of finding high-quality books to read or does it mostly just involve googling around, finding well-reviewed books, and reading them. Edit: I am speaking about finding books beyond Leo's book list...

Me!

Well isn't that ironic. All I see is you being narcissistic, self-bias, and trying to survive your own belief system. Projection is sneaky. How do you know that your current understanding of Life is sufficient enough to provide the relevant context for Leo's awakening? The people of Jerusalem crucified Jesus because Jesus was so "arrogant," claiming that he was the son of God and such. Why does the ego-mind project its own selfishness onto the ones demonstrating selflessness? If you do not take the work seriously, then how do you expect to follow the teachings of someone who does? I just want you to realize that your issue has nothing to do with Leo being deluded and has everything to do with you being deluded.

Image from Life Changing Foods. Additional tips he says - add to lemon water - good for colds, take a spoonful before bed for improved sleep - look for wildflower honey - good for skin and small wounds - consume prior to meditation... boosts happy feeling and strengthens mind He also says some of our ancestors survived and mainly honey alone. Not because they didnt have other foods sources, but because it's awesome. There ya go def checkout Anthony William's... I've been drowning myself in his info lately... some of the best health advice out there

Raw honey is very very healthy. Anthony William's the medical medium really talks it up in his book "Life-Changing Foods."

I freaking love philosophy. I love it so much in fact that I would pull my hair out if I had to sit in a philosophy lecture and hear some professor teach me about metaphysics or epistemology. That's a looooot of money that you're paying a university to barely even scratch the surface of what the true meaning of philosophy is... Oh and don't even get me started on essays. Just make sure you use reputable sources. That means anything outside the currently accepted paradigm is not allowed. For the record, I am in the same position as you are. This is how I see the situation. I see university in terms of its opportunity cost. What ELSE could I be doing with that time and money? - meditation retreats - reading real philosophy books - start a business Sorry if I didn't answer your question about what it's like to pursue the major... but I have had discussions in depth with friends who have actually majored in philosophy. After majoring in philosophy and then watching every video on actualized.org. My 25 year-old friend told me that he didn't learn 1 thing in school. Especially compared to the quality of info here for free at your fingertips.

Oh my...seeing the comments under the new video is a real headache... I remember clearly when Leo said in one of his videos that soon he will grow so much that he will pass the threshold of what most people consider 'sane.' That's why it's so important to follow along with the practices. Or else you'll get lost in the dust. I'm amazed that people can't fathom that just because a teaching seems radical it doesn't mean that it's false. I personally intuit that any True teaching must appear to be radical coming from the perspective of a person who is mired in delusion. Anyways, just sharing my frustration...

Peak experiences are important. Psychedelics help you get there. What is the problem? It appears to me like you have a bias against psychedelics (I apologize in advance if this is not the case). An awakening is an awakening regardless of the means chosen to get there. The embodiment of the awakening afterwards depends on the individual's conceptual understanding and meditation experience. If you took a psychedelic in a dream and it caused you to have a full awakening (which is possible to have while asleep and dreaming). Would you consider it to not be a legit awakening because you took a dream psychedelic?

My opinion: David Deida's book is fucking amazing. He truly is a master of masculine and feminine polarity. If you don't like his words, its because you have some kind of preconceived idea of how you would personally prefer masculine and feminine to be. If you read is work carefully (many of his books I've read multiple times). You should intuit that he knows what he is talking about. His words just ooze love. If you see it any other way then be conscious of how you are projecting some kind of personal bullshit onto the ideas in the text. Open your mind. Try harder to understand. His language is clear as day. David Deida is speaking of the most core and authentic desire of the masculine and feminine energy. When you read his books you are holding gold in your hands. Humble yourself. I'd like to suggest that you are the one enforcing the standard of how you think the world "should work." The masculine and feminine think and act differently. This is the case.

@0ne read Conversations w God.... if you care for your question to be answered conceptually... Obviously, the conceptual understanding is important, always remember that it is pointing to an 'experience' that can't be symbolized. Basically, this idea of you wanting God to "prove" something to you is a wild misunderstanding of the situation. God is proving its existence to you every second, the question is are you conscious enough to recognize this. Look at the words you are reading right now, marvel at the pure fact of existence. Why is there any experience at all? What a fucking miracle. If this isn't proof enough to motivate you to take the spiritual path seriously, then nothing will. Raise your consciousness. Do the practices. Soon, the line between the mystical and the mundane will begin to blur, and the taste of a banana in your mouth will be indisputable proof of 'God'. Edit: Your conceptual understanding is weak. Leo's got some pretty mind-bending books on his list that will set you straight if you genuinely care about existential investigation.

@Marek I read thru the pdf you shared and found it intriguing...I've been having difficulty with my diet recently... I've been very drained of energy and have been looking for solutions... What is your diet like? I am open to maming radical changes to my own diet... I've always enjoyed experimenting w different foods.

@Telepresent orient your skepticism inward

I'm dating a girl who is a legit psychic. She does professional tarot readings. After months of skepticism and many card readings, I have confirmed in my own direct experience, beyond a shred of a doubt, that psychics are in fact real. I've also had experiences with "fake psychics." These are the people who probably possess some form of psychic power but are too corrupted by ego. They can't help but scam you or tell you things that are meant to manipulate you into paying them thousands of dollars. A good way that I distinguish between real vs fake psychics. - find other reviews or ratings (like on yelp) - follow your heart - don't rely on a psychic to fix your life - take everything that is said with a grain of salt... if something resonates, then it was meant for you, if nothing resonates, then it was not. Cheers!

This is a game where you play as the eternal subject, God. I have purchased and played this game and would highly reccomend. A massive trip, especially when playing with friends. This game contains many strange loops, perhaps the most obvious one is... This game allows you to zoom in and play as dust particles, bacteria, atoms, quarks. And it also allows you to zoom out and play as planets and galaxies. If the player zooms in far enough, you actually end up zoomed out as far as possible. So, if you keep zooming into the atoms, you end up seeing planets and universes. It's an infinite strange loop! There's also a part of the game where you can play as a TV that is running the Everything Game on it! It's delightfully mind-twisting.

What course? I am interested.
