Recursoinominado

I would like some clarification, it is not rhetorical questions. But i posted on the wrong section, should be on Meditation/Consciousness. Thanks anyways.

Speak for you, I am going to Turquoise in this lifetime ✌?️??✌?️

This is a good example of black and white thinking. Silencing the mind aims to make your chosen mind object as your sole point of focus. It can be a self-inquiry questioning. Imagine you are a babysitter, what would be better: taking care of 20 hyperactive and aggressive children or one calm, relaxed one? If you understand this, you can understand the power of silencing the mind.

You can certainly develop A LOT. It isn't enough to "be who you are", you have to meet a LOT of women to 1. know what kind you really like 2. get good with women 3. have options and choose the best one. It is better to choose 1 out of 100 than it is to choose 1 out of 2. To get good with women, you have to interact a LOT with lots of women. That's just ignorance. Whaaat hahahahaha go tell Buddha to chill with all that spirituality search, that's just unconsciousness bro, you don't need to work hard, we are ONE S2 Good fucking luck sitting at home waiting for the perfect partner to fall on your lap. No wonder you feel disconnected from your higher self, it is screaming for you to act and you are just too deaf to hear. Seems to me that you are distorting spiritual wisdom to suit your lazy fearful ego needs.

What about Turquoise?

Yeah, i would pay to see you cold approach a woman in the streets and show me this fearlessness

Love yourself fearlessly first.

That's actually inspiring! I miss this Elliot :'(

Not dumb, you are exploring your own Infinite Self. Ironic and mindblowing? Maybe. Pointless? Not to the character you are experiencing Reality through. Maaaybe in an Absolute sense, yeah, there is no point to any of this but do not fall into that trap, life is a paradox.

Well, this is not entirely true. You do have to expose yourself to the largest number of girls(?) possible like a sales funnel and filter the ones who are compatible along the way until you find one (or more) that is perfect for you. It is brute force + playing smart. You do have to approach as much as possible + develop the skills to attract AND keep (those are not necessarily the same skills). Who said that? Don't try to bypass life, what you call meaningless experiments could be the answer to your question. It could be exactly what you need, direct experience is KING. It seems to me that you are trying to gather insights without the experience, only in an intellectual level, which isn't possible. I would bet you already know what you should do, but you just didn't like it.

Short guy here (168cm), it doesn't matter.

Seriously, i was part of several groups and followed pages on social media that had spiritual purposes (mostly new age) and this COVID situation came to show how out of touch with "Reality" most of those people are. I am seeing over and over again people equating masks as an ABUSE, an attempt from the government to CONTROL people and SPREAD FEAR. They create this persona of people who wear a mask are sheep, being controlled, and are asleep while I and those who agree with me are the awake ones. Those who see clearly through the situation. This is not even funny, it is kind of sad to see how much time and energy people waste with useless rationalizations. The worse thing is due to the internet they can find like-minded people and stay stuck in a circlejerk of conspiracy theories. It is also interesting to see how much those people have in common with Trump supporters.

Well, open-mindedness to me is like you said, entertaining some new perspective, making a thought exercise, being receptive and THEN you contemplate about it. In order to not fall into false notions, i kind of feel how it sits in my body when talking about them, and i try to make that new notion "fit" my model of reality which i carefully developed through years of constant contemplation and experimentation. But, of course, this can lead to serious self-deception if you are not extremely careful. Self-deception should be a constant question in your mind.

Never tried salvia, probably never will but all psychedelic substances have this "reality ripping" feature. I remember the first times i used LSD and had this realization that Reality wasn't as material as i thought it was (as a materialistic atheist), that opened a pandora box, made me go down an endless rabbit hole but i am thankful i did it.

I didn't read as pessimistic. That reminds me of a book called "The Denial Of Death", which talks about our heroic callings being an aspect of this denial of death, trying to transcend death itself through heroic acts that last for ages (maybe in history books).

Damn, you made a great summary of the New Age movement. I was once open-minded but the deeper i go into spirituality, the more i see how delusional most of them are. As you said, they seem to be weak egos trying their best to feel special and angelic, calling themselves all sorts of names like "gypsies, witches, Pleiadians, old souls, starseeds, whatever". They use pseudo-spirituality in order to avoid actually doing some serious inner work. That's deep, bro.

@Globalcollective Nobody REEEALLY know what is going on, that's not the point! What i am baffled is with the amount of time and energy WASTED with theories they can't ever prove, time and energy they could be spending actually working on themselves, building an online business, reading, practicing yoga, meditation or whatever. I mean, at BEST wearing a mask in public is a mild discomfort, even if COVID were indeed some sort of planned population control, the best we could do as individuals is to work to become great and possibly changing things later, not bitching and whining endlessly on social media like they are being led to concentration camps. This is some next level victim complex or even narcissism.

Well, when you DO receive insights, you ACT on them or you just collect them and put them in a mental drawer? In most cases, you don't need more insights, but to act on those you already have.

Of course, that's not a problem at all, at the bare minimum, it makes me elaborate my thoughts better. My plan is to first get good at creating transformational content (self help + sprinkles of spirituality), build authority and start a whole movement of people interested in what we do here on actualized.org. Developing teaching skills and growing myself in the process. I am sure there is a demand for this kind of content. Of course, Instagram isn't the BEST place to find such people but you can grow a large audience of people that are at least interested in what you talk about. When they see you are a authority, you can introduce deeper and deeper topics like Leo did. When I first heard about enlightenment was in one of Leo's videos, I remember that if that information came from another random person, maybe I wouldn't take it so seriously, the difference was that I was already "bought in" on what Leo has to say. I am focusing on creating content and selling my mentorship program, this will give me the right foundation to expand my business to more and more people by investing massively in it and in myself. Leo's first business was a digital marketing agency, from that money he was able to build actualized.org, initially targeting stage orange people (as I am considering) and later, when he built enough momentum and career capital, he was able to do his own, most authentic thing, which isn't for everyone. Later I want to build a YouTube channel, there I will certainly find more people align with my values.

I am on the path to teach self-development and spirituality, but i am still deciding foundational details like which audience should i focus right now. My ultimate goal is to become an enlightened sage/yogi/guru and teach deep spirituality to serious seekers. My plans right now are 1. Establish and grow in authority on social media (Instagram) 2. Become a Coach/mentor. 2. Create programs that i teach people, a step-by-step process to self-actualize. 3. Create video courses to sell. My niche is obviously self-development/spirituality. My audience is the problem, all the authorities tell you to be very specific and focus on it, especially in the beginning. The thing is: i am on a mission to meet and live with successful people, entrepreneurs, people with great work ethic, achievers. Recently i took a live course (through Zoom) and there i met a few guys like that and i was able to make my way into a small community of such people. Then i notice that i could explore this market, they are mostly committed to self-development, they take action and are willing to pay for self-development programs. I receiver a few proposals to do some sort of coaching/mentorships and to produce video courses. So i have two choices. I can choose entrepreneurs as my audience because it makes sense logically, it has the potential to meet the people i want, earn good money (and thus growing myself and my business from a solid foundation) and they tend to be good clients, action takers, less trouble in persuading them to pay for a self-development program. Basically targeting stage orange guys. Logically, i think this is a better option right now and i can always change my audience through time, but i could be wrong. The other option is Yoga practitioners, as i am a Hatha Vinyasa Yoga teacher already and my self-development is heavily influenced by spirituality and i want to guide people through their spiritual path, especially those who are lost in the beginning. This is also a promising audience as i am more familiar (and instant authority because i am a certified teacher) with and it is maybe more align with my ultimate purpose. BUT it could be a hard audience to sell, a lot of them have victims complex, lots of excuses, stage green people tend to not focus so much on self-improvement and take less action. I would appreciate opinions on this one, i am just figuring out this business/marketing world.

It's a tool, it all depends on how you use it. Be a creator, not a consumer. Not only on Instagram... Instagram is how they find me, as Youtube (later), the serious teaching is through live calls, courses and, later, in-person retreats. And it absolutely can be taught, i am sure you learned a lot by teachings (through whatever mediums). The teachings point to something and, without it, you can waste your whole life looking in the wrong direction. One step at a time, this is a 10-20 year goal we are talking about. That's just not true. EVEN if you have awaken, self-realized, you can absolutely gain value from other teachers, remember, Reality is Infinite, you can't possibly find all the answers by yourself, unless you find one and stick to this one for the rest of your incarnation, in this case, yeah, you may not be my audience. Maybe, but less teachers isn't equal ZERO teachers. Again, not true. If one thinks he is DONE, no need for any "external help", one is delusional and, most definitely needing a teacher. Yeah, that's just your projections. I can chose who i will work with or not and people with excuses are definitely NOT my choice.

Which is most people on the spiritual path I am producing quality free content right now and it is only going to increase in quality and quantity. Only with that, people can already change a LOT of things if they take action, which most don't. Unfortunately, most people don't value free content enough to act on them. But later i will develop some sort of personal help for those who really want to change and can't afford it. Unfortunately, those will have to sort things out for themselves and when they want to change, i will be there. Those people require large amounts of time and energy and rarely take action. I have been doing this for a long time and i NEVER managed to help anyone who wasn't initially bought in. This is not a shadow, this is relentless observation. 90% of my friends and all the people i meet are stage green and none of them is a serious seeker. The secret is to integrate the "get shit done" attitude from Orange with the values of Green, then you can accomplish incredible things. Cn you imagine Leo doing his business in a purely "organic intuitive way"? Like sitting to meditate only when he was in the mood or not scripting his videos or not studying marketing etc. That's why green isn't the last stage, at Yellow you have to integrate all the benefits of the stages below and throw away the garbage. I, myself, acted as a typical green, doing my sadhana only when it was convenient, this was a big mistake, this is de difference between an amateur and a professional.
