@Juan Cruz Giusto Funny enough I have listened to every tool album ever. And that song is what inspired to start looking into spirituality when I was young. It was also how I found about Bill Hicks. Which is the voice you hear in the song. He's also on the CD booklet of the album.

Hello everyone, So, I've been reading some rather interesting material lately. I picked up the series "Conversations with God". I bought the first book the last time I was in NYC. I didn't think much of it until I saw it on Leo's book list. After reading it I bought the rest of them. I then read "The Law Of One" which was apparently another work channeled. I also checked into some books the "Law Of One" mentioned. It seems to me that there is a lot of similarity in these channeled works. Now, please understand I am just a curious person and the paranormal and occult have always been interesting to me. And I know there can be a lot of BS out there. But these books seem to be coming from a very loving place. And from some spiritual teachers such as Matt Kahn who have direct communications with the universe, the messages seem to be the same. I have had experiences with channeling. Once while on a high dose of mushrooms I was taken over by something and ripped out of my body. It spoke through me like an instrument. I have also meditated and felt taken over by something else. So, in my direct experience, I feel that this is possible. I am just curious to hear people's thoughts on this material. I am not trying to advocate thoughts of fear, aliens, a "space war", or any other superstitious stuff like that. But maybe truly we can be in direct communication with our Source. Also, understand that I just find this stuff interesting. It is not the whole of my spiritual work. Which, ultimately has been to bring forth in me the greatest love that I AM here Now through meditation and deep self-love practice.

@Juan Cruz Giusto So, only to further the discussion. I have already very much grasped Who I Am and What This All Is. I can understand this being a distraction. Honestly, it was only in the last couple of months have I come back to this stuff. For the past four years, I've been mostly interested in just simple non-duality. But after basically dying and going to heaven I feel more open to exploring these things. Also, keep in my mind I am an artist and a musician. I seek to bring the air of mystery and wonder into my work. Mystery to me is sacred and can start to entrance people into wondering more about their true nature.

@Martin123 Though I am not dismissing you or her. If it works for you than good. I will say the jewelry looks nice. And if it gets you where you want to go then good. I am not saying she is malicious or totally self-serving. She might be legit doing good for people. And I am happy to see a woman spiritual teacher. The trouble with a lot of this online communication is that it feels that we almost must correct each other. We can easily get hung up on words and believe that we know what is right and that we know what is a distraction. Yet so much is lost here in this communication. And all of us I feel is trying to do well and be well-meaning. There is an infinite number of ways to get to the divine and each way is who you are. Each path is personal. If you found what works for and you found liberation Awesome!

I did want to mention briefly my first impression of Kaia Ra. Her website kinda gives me a red flag. She is selling expensive jewelry as"ascension technology". I am weary of people who sell physical things to help raise your "vibration": Now, I'm not saying that there might not be any validity to energy healers who use crystals (I've been to one and I defiantly felt something). I've seen some experts of the book and it seems like another way to put the same material. Do I really know if she is manipulative? Not really. But it makes me have caution. Same thing with Teal Swan. She has seen some truth but her tactics seem manipulative. You can't buy "God in a Can" (in a way you can say the can is part of God but whatever). I'm not saying you can't be a spiritual teacher and sell stuff. But why not just sell it as art rather than "they key to your ascension". Just take a look at this: https://www.kaiara.com/post/the-green-tara-skydancer-medallion There might be some power in having a physical object remind you of things. It can focus your mental energy. But it might be a lot like a Chrisitan wearing a cross for Christ's protection. It may make them more confident. But the real power is still inside themselves. The real power to raise your "vibration" is inside yourself. Your real savior is yourself. The real Christ is inside of you.

@Ero Yes, I can concur. It's almost like your beliefs put filters on your reality and might actually prevent you from seeing what is really there. Only after a lot of hard work and true mystical experiences did any of this feel "real" to me. I've been very open since I was young too various things. I was also plagued with an immense fear of death that I can remember as like my first memory (around age six I imagined death to be eternal darkness). I went on a quest to answer these questions and I found the occult and spirituality around age 12. It came to me very naturally and since then I have most of my questions answered. It's not like I discount science. In fact, I have loved most of Leo's video which tries to help explain the possibility of these spiritual ideals through science. But the glorious for me is not the "cool" things that happen. But the shedding of all fear and shame. Dance naked in the rain and know we are one. Smile for you are loved and held through it all. You are the whole thing. You are a freaking miracle. You are glorious and infinitely perfect. Be the light in other people's lives. They might not know (or don't remember) what you do but they know love and you break down their prison one loving act at a time.

@Michael Paul Yes as always. It is important to try to see the motives of the one giving the information, where the information is coming from (fear of love), and whether it has any practical value to it. A lot of spiritual people that fall these things treat spirituality like a fad. I've heard some people call it "materialistic spirituality". Well, with anything that puts the power outside of yourself, and somehow makes you less than or not as of the Divine/Source it can cause problems. A true master tries to make a master of you. Not dependent on them. Me personally I've had plenty of experiences with the paranormal. Stuff that no one would believe. Do I need anyone to believe me? No. Does it make me special? We are all very special and unique. Does it make me seem crazy to others? Yes. It's like trying to convince a blind person of the existence of color. Yet we are dealing with this infinite dream. It can be anything that it would be like to be. It exists in infinite dimensions, in infinite ways, for eternity. So, yes be skeptical for your own safety and not to fall in any traps that others may lay for you. But dare to be open and fascinated and you might just find the impossible. Everyone is just where they are at. They have all of eternity to realize their magnificence.

@Martin123 Thank you! I will have to check that out. It looks fascinating.

@pluto That is a beautiful photo. I can kinda see that this conversation has gone off a bit. I will add that I like the Ra Material for its dense language and esoteric understandings. I am not a philosopher nor an academic. I am a musician and I look to esoteric teachings and writing to fuel my creativity. The language in them gives me an extended vocabulary which is great for writing songs and forming images in my head which in turn help me write music. If I have an image in my head I can start to form an atmosphere and work from there. Some songs I write I feel that I have channeled. Meaning I do not feel like I can take full credit for them. They seem to just come to me. And in this way, I know the divine is working through me to do this. After many mystical experiences, I can read most things from a high enough level to take whatever golden nugget there is inside of the writings/teachings. As I've said before "expand your capacity for weirdness to take in all of your glory".

The first book I real on spirituality that got me more interested in pursuing enlightenment was the book "Becoming Enlightened" by the Dahi Lahma. I found the book at my local library. They were throwing it away and I picked it up. After that, I picked up "A New Earth" by Eckart Tolle which they were also going to throw out and I found that also very inspiring. This was about five years ago. I will list some of the best books I've read so far: Everything Is Here To Help You - Matt Kahn Mastery - George Lenard Conversations With God - Neale Donald Walsch The Book Of Not Knowing - Peter Ralston

@pluto Yes, I am well aware of this. My intuition has become very keen. It's almost like the mystery of life has been withdrawn. But you know....I still like to be surprised and bewildered. I can say that it's like I have a little angel on my shoulder all the time helping me through everything. So, I know this is possible. I think what I am getting at more here, is just I wanted to know what people think of this material. I find it to be aligned with love mostly which was surprising. Since I've seen new age people justify some rather dogmatic and hateful things using material like this. Maybe in a sense, I've been truly sucked into this "Black Hole" where no one can understand what I am talking about unless they have experienced what I have.

Hello everyone, I just feel compelled to give thanks to Actualized.Org. First, let me say where I am at in life. I am 22, still in college, and I am being tested for cancer. I have a huge suspicious lump on my neck. I just got a biopsy of it yesterday. I feel as if I did not find Actualized.Org when I first got to college. I would be in such a worse place. Leo's work has changed me forever for the better. I have taken his life purpose course and I have a really good sense of what I need to do. I lost over 100lbs. I quit smoking and drinking. I basically got my life together, expanded my circle of concern, and have found at least some degree of awakening. This cancer scare has actually made me into a more loving caring person. Literally, it helped me let go of everything and enter the kingdom of love. Leo is a good example. He showed it was safe to do so. I've become so strong through this work that I actually feel like this event is actually a gift from God. All things are gifts. This in the greatest of ways has shown me what is most important. Love. So, whatever happens, I just want to say I am grateful for his work. In a big way, he helped me find the greatest thing of all. Love. I hope you all can find it too. It's right there in your heart. Thank you. -Luke

@Aeris In many ways, this made me more loving. So, I knew they were testing me around April. It's just taken this long for them to take an actual biopsy. I've had a lot of test done. What has been shown to me just what is most important. It was as if what I wanted didn't matter. I realized life is not about me at all. It's about us all. I felt such deep suffering I burned alive and came out anew. This is why I am giving thanks to Actualized.Org. Because the work that Leo inspired me to do has helped me move out of the flames purified and reborn. Rather than stuck in bitterness and confusion. From this ultimate space of being cracked open, I can't help but feel immense love for everything and everyone. I'm not in charge of it, it's almost like God has taken me over. @Apparation of Jack Thank you for the ideas. May you be blessed! I will have to wait until they know for sure what is going on. I have been to spiritual healers in the past and it has not done much for me. I have found that the most profound healing I have gone through has actually been through this "crisis". It basically conjured up strength in me that I did not know existed and I decided to love no matter what. And in that way, I feel great no matter what comes. And If I do have cancer I will be excited for the opportunity to love myself through it. This is why I am excited to see where Actualized.Org is going. I understand the power of love and it's importance. I can't wait till I'm done with college and I can focus more on bringing to the world what I feel that I must. And I feel Leo's teachings are going to become more transformative than ever before. He's a great inspiration to me, simply because of what he has committed his life to. Another great inspiration is Matt Kahn who has committed his life to love and the raising of conciouness. They provide endless streams of gifts to the world in a selfless way and that to me feels the best.

@Etherial Cat @NoSelfSelf Thank you so much. May you be blessed!

@Leo GuraWatched the video today. Very awesome. I feel very inspired. I've been following Actualized.org since 2015 and I think it is awsome where it has gone. My question to you would be what else could we do to help the country evolve its conciouness? I just feel like I could be doing more than I am right now. In a way, I think I have been too spiritual and not too practical. I understand I'm here to to help increase conciouness and love but I feel that maybe we need to be more sneaky about it. We could be more intentional and actually more conscious people on board with helping. But maybe to change society as a whole we need to find more subtle ways to get under defense mechanisms. So, at least this stuff has a chance to enter someone's mind. I've had thoughts in the past of making more conscious art and entertainment. This could be a subtle way to shift things. It could be deliberate but not "in your face". With that, we can send loving conscious material across the airwaves. This is only one possibility. I hope I am making sense. I would be curious to hear people's thoughts.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to talk about my experience with Salvia. I will warn you that it is not a pleasant plant, it demands respect, nor should you really try it unless you want a real challenge. It is unlike anything I've ever tried and I have done high doses of mushrooms, DMT, 2CI/2CB, and MDMA. I smoked it. I got a concentration of about 20x. So, in total, I smoked it three times and I will tell you what happened each time. 1st time: Sitting on my couch worked up the nerve to light the bowl took a few hits. Next thing I knew my conciouness was flying around the room. I eventually came back to my body got up and threw the bowl against the wall and ran in a panic because I thought I was dying. About 20 minutes later I calmed down and started laughing really hard. I felt like I survived something that wanted to kill me. 2nd time: This was the next day. I decided to take it a bit more seriously. I put on some shamanic music (didn't matter cause all of your experience fades away when you take enough). I was on the floor took three huge hits and drags. Layed down, set the bowl down next to me. Then what happened still lingers with me today. I died a trillion deaths or an infinite amount of deaths. The room fell away and I saw some geometric patterns and each time they turned I died. And this happened countless times. I would go through the fear of death, die, then be reborn, only to die again. I eventually came back. It took me about thirty minutes before I realized I was still "alive". 3rd time: So, literally after I realized I was alive I smoked a second bowl. All I saw were cool geometric patterns and one of my posters in my living came alive and started talking to me. So, I will admit as painful as it was it really changed me for the better. Since then I've been fine, happy, I don't fear death anymore. It's all good. So, this plant might have some positive effects too. If you are willing to risk it. I will probably never do it again. lol

I wanted to talk about @Leo Gura new blog post video about tapping into the collective consciousness. Firstly I have had experiences of this. I have tapped into the collective pain and suffering of mankind and it literally brought me to tears. I have also become conscious of things that do not exist on this Earth plane such as angles. It is really cool to hear Leo talk about these things. I have been following Actualized.Org for about five years now and it's cool to see him grow. Also, please understand I've been in spirituality since I was young and have had mystical experiences throughout my whole life. Also, I've had about thirty psychedelic trips within the last four years. So, yes I'm young but this has been my whole life. I have said to people that if you keep going down this path the weirder things become. But it's all good lol. Also, I loved when he was talking tapping into the consciousness to bless things. This is actually my spiritual practice now. Everyday I bless the world. This feels like my purpose. To live in total service to the world and it is my total joy to do so. So, yes Leo I do understand. You are not alone. I am excited to see where Actualized.Org will go from here. I am sure it will be great. I also started my own YouTube channel. It is mostly about offer loving, dissolving shame, and offering comfort. I feel more like a source of cosmic comfort. I am also posting music there. So, this is one way I am living in service. In my day to day, I serve by giving people my full attention, smiles, compliments, and making them feel seen and heard. I can. bring people to tears in my presence just with my words. And honestly, it feels amazing. My last words before I leave this Earth will be "I love you, thank you". It may take me a while to refine my message and do what I am really looking to do. But I feel like I'm being escorted by angles to my destiny. So, thank you again Leo. May you all be blessed! -Luke

@abrakamowse @Aakash I don't know if I can really map something that I have no control over. That's the thing. As to life being a school, I like to think about this way. Everything you experience is a gift from the divine and an opportunity for you to grow and integrate. I take this very seriously. I have taken all the pain and suffering in my life and actually made it positive. I have taken my greatest pain and made it into my greatest pleasure. @Cocolove Thank you! I will have to check that out. And all of thank you for the responses. May you be blessed!

@Aakash I did not say that my third eye had anything to do with it. I am just recounting what it feels like to have these experiences. I don't pretend to know how it works. I just let things happen, and what does, and what doesn't happen is what it is. What is most important to me is not the understanding but the way it has changed me into a more loving caring person. You can think about it an infinite number of ways. But can we roll up our sleeves and get into loving humanity, the Earth, and the cosmos. No one for a long time is going to understand all of this spiritual talk. But what people do understand is love (or at least they can feel it). If you show someone love, respect, and admiration as they have never known before they are closer to truth and you at that moment are more aligned than ever. I don't care if say the right thing, have the right understanding, have the right beliefs. It does not get in the way of bringing heaven here.

@Aakash I was sitting meditating going deep into myself. I felt like I went past my personal conciouness, lost my self, and moved into this space. I don't really visualize. I just let things come to me. Anytime I speak with angles, I don't visualize I them I just feel them come into my energy field. I did see a being made of light once. With my actual eyes. My third eye tends to feel like it is vibrating during these encounters or when I am being guided.

@Aakash When I tapped into the pain all I felt was immense dread, fear, pain, and suffering that felt so huge and impossible. I heard screams like you would not believe.

@How to be wise Thank you for your input. All I have to say, it's very real. It is more real than you can imagine. Frankly, it doesn't matter to me exactly it is. What I know all things to be is woven out of the fabric of love, forgiveness, and light. All I know is what I am called to do. And any encounters I have had with beings (angles which I know are just extensions of myself) they have simply invited me to love deeper. I died and went to heaven. I'm here to bring heaven here. That's it. That's all. Thank you.

So, a few months ago I tried a 10-gram mushroom trip. And it was insane. I just want to talk about the peak of the trip. So, before it happened the world was warping, morphing, ever-changing, shapes everywhere, color, figures coming out of the wall, telepathic communication with Terrence McKenna and mother Earth. I saw thousands, even millions of butts come out of the wall, I drowned in sex and felt like the universe is constantly fucking me. Before everything, I changed a voice came to me and said: "Luke it is time to die". So, I layed down and let the complete ego death that I am used to happening. While this was happening the hallucinations become so intense I could see nothing but them. So, then all of a sudden the hallucination became stable and I was in a different dimension. I was in an apartment but it was not my apartment. It became like a fairy tale apartment. It was green-tinted, with vines growing everywhere. The structure of the apartment changed as well. It was the craziest thing. I think this is when I completely broke and saw the utter power of God and imagination. I didn't even think it was possible. Take from this what you will. I had a good time. May you be blessed! -Luke

@Natasha Thank you for the nice comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it! May you be blessed! <3
