So much love, thank you.

@Basman Firstly, you don't know if they're enlightened or not, secondly, they are clearly repressed and neglecting their needs. If you think some mystical states or monkhood is going to automatically cure you of your neediness, that's a fantasy. Celibacy and asceticism is real, there schools where that sexual energy can be transmuted, but many schools just don't have the tools to help their ascetics do this. Maybe it was lost along the way, which is why they end up repressed. But all this is irrelevant to us. We are not ascetics nor should we larp or pretend to be one. If you're not having sex, at least rub one out, repression is equally dysfunctional, that's taking things to the opposite extreme. Most men are lacking balance, it's either chase and cry about sex like a horny dog, make it a big deal, or become repressed, create a sexual shadow and mess yourself up, there is no groundedness.

I second Inner Engineering / Shambavi from Sadhguru. I've not missed a single day in years and the power and efficacy of it is beyond any description I have. I cannot understate how insane it is

Another thing on the population size. When the poplulation increases, the size of the economy also increases so there is a balancing effect because there is also now more goods and services generated by the bigger economy for that bigger population. If you keep the dollar amount constant without devaluing it, it will find its own balance, with each dollar (or subdivision) being worth some amount goods exchanged for some currency held my someone. So again, printing more dollars has nothing to do with it. It's devalued because of excess spending, debt, centralization, greed, and just the function of how a society goes through its rise and fall.

Bonds today are crap. Holding bonds is outdated investment advice from a time when bonds were actually, safe and stable with good yields. Bonds are only for giant institutions who are usually regulated and can't hold anything else, are chasing stability (not that bonds are actually stable) , or can make use of bond liquidity in ways us normal people do not. Bonds and cash will be the first things to implode when the current monetary system collapses. And that's not an if, it's a when. Bonds are the bedrock of the financial system but that's why they will be the first column that buckles Meanwhile we have technologies like Bitcoin which is truly a marvel and prevents this whole currency devaluation thing. If you are only looking at it through the lens of volatility and buy/sell price changes, you're missing the technology of what bitcoin IS and focusing only on its market performance. And then there's new stuff like Bitbonds (bitcoin backed bonds) You don't need to print more dollars to give money to more people. You simply need to divide the existing money into smaller denominations, which is the ass backwards of what is happening. The problem is that the underlying value of the money is being devalued period. They don't care about more population because value of existing currency can be preserved by infinitely subdividing it, through issuing smaller denominations of that currency. Clearly this never happens. Because that's not how things work. When you devalue the currency, you are not helping this, you are doing that in spite of this. As you yourself mentioned, currency devaluation is a story as old as time. The part that you might be missing is that it's dire in all cases - it's directly tied to the rise and fall of civilations and the collapse of their systems. Which is why I said the collapse is a matter of when, not if. Devaluation is real and severe. In fact, it's a bigger problem than most think, because people just see their stocks and assets going up in dollar terms and they think they're getting richer.

The desire for sex / intimacy is always there, but a low level of development leads one to pursue it imbalanced ways. It's about being able to meet one's needs in a healthy way. If not, that's when the desperation and bitterness comes

Right on! Totally agree

Repeating things in a simple, mechanical fashion might be mildly effective for starting out, but I've found far better ways to do it. The way that worked best for me is to actually sit down, contemplate, and deconstruct the beliefs that are holding you back from simply making more rapid shifts. Why believe you need a process of repetition to program yourself? Why can't you just decide, and shift? The mind is already highly adaptable and fluid or it would not be able to learn anything. In fact, when you repeat a lot, you could end up sending the opposite message to your subconscious, that it's really hard. You want to make it easier, but if it's so easy, why do you need to repeat it so many times? Even 5 - 10m is way too much, imo. This is not to say there is no space for mantras. Mantras are for amplifying the realizations that you already had by feeling the truth of them deeply when you say them. Like a reminder. Contrast this with saying a mantra to resolve something that has not been resolved yet, as a sort of simple, mechanical process. Huge difference. Hope this helps

Even something as simple as watching the breath for me has given incredible results, and yoga / kriyas are all about the breath. It's absolutely one thing that many people are severely missing. I do practices every day which aim to deepen the breath over time.

The idea that women have it easier than men is absurd. I don't understand why men are so desperate for sex and meeting women, and like to make a big hairy deal about sex either. I do have a theory, and it's that they have a low level of consciousness/development and therefore act like animals. They don't know anything higher or better in life than sex, such as following their passions, or pursuing a balanced, harmonious state of mind. They are trying to fill a void with sex because life is empty and hollow because they are not living their truth. So sex and women, to them, starts to become this crutch. It starts look like this really awesome, lofty thing, so they become really desperate, but also very bitter at women when they don't get it. And now we have a whole host of toxic victim-based ideologies to support this, where these men who buy into victim-based beliefs can find a community and stew in the toxicity, without even realizing how it's not helping them at all. The solution as a man not to hate women or play victim, it's to nourish, cultivate, and work on yourself.

The Ex Google CEO in the blog video is sitting on the same chair as me, which is the same chair that I recommended on the Products thread. Lol. He likes it too

Leo, said this many times but your work has been pivotal to my development. I would not be where I am today, living a truly great life, without your wisdom and insights. I wish you a happy birthday. So much love! I think you're the goat

@Miguel1 I am conflicted on this distinction. On one hand, making money has nothing to do with Truth. On the other hand, communing with God changed my life and ego structure so radically that after I was reborn, I found that the new me was able to make money easier, mainly because I wasn't drowning in fear. Btw, I am talking about financial freedom only. One of the funny consequences of exiting wage slavery or having to work at all is that you lose a big default way of socialization and meeting people (work). Thankfully I am an introvert

I achieved freedom before 30. Everyone's situation and luck is different. When it's hard, it's hard. People struggle to different degrees depending on what they've got going on. My life was hard, until it stopped being hard. I worked on myself until it paid off and then it became easy. I know plenty of people who did it with a few wise and / or lucky decisions but that might also be oversimplifying. For lightning to strike, you still have to climb the mountain. All I can say is that Leo's work has been absolutely foundational in helping me achieve this, and I absolutely would not have done it without the body of work at Actualized.org

I haven't read fiction in ages, I only read nonfic now. 1. The Silmarillion 2. Harry Potter series 3. Chronicles of Narnia
