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.

@Preety_India I think the pun is intended lol Phil Good is Feel Good ? Yes, he does seem circular in his videos, talking on and on about the same things. @DreamScape Can you elaborate?

@Visionary Indeed, he seem to be very sensitive to spiritual matters, listening voices, channeling spirits etc. He reported to have gone through a dramatic spiritual awakening a few years ago that changed everything. It looks like he didn't fully integrated his new reality and got stuck in the fairy land while receiving praise by his equally delusional following ending up trapped in a perpetual circle jerk.

Before i comment: are you just venting or looking for solutions?

That's kind of my approach on the dating forum, almost got banned I agree 100% with you, some people are just so lost that reason alone won't do it, some strong awakening has to happen.

Average looking? Maybe. Overall average? Nope.

Well, it is very rare that you will find a friend that will 100% get your most authentic self (but don't let this be a limiting belief, they do exist). You can find friends that are, at least, partially align with your values (this is easier). Find people that are positive and encouraging and you won't feel like you are wasting time being with them. You can see this also as a spiritual practice by being fully present and loving with people that do no share much of your interests. Make people feel listen, appreciated, talk about them, touch them, smile genuinely when you meet them, look them deep in their eyes, give them true compliments and people will love you. In my experience, you have to take the iniciative to make new friends and to deepen the relationship, invite people to do stuff, to your house, cook together, bound. Remember, everyone feels insecure sometimes, if you are introverted, they can interpret this as you not liking them. Do not assume people know you like them, show them, tell them. But, ultimately, this is indeed a lonely journey, the deeper you go, the lonely it gets, so you being perfectly fine with being all by yourself is a must. Self-Love and complete self-acceptance, be always kind to yourself, talk to yourself, laugh by yourself.

@7thLetter I am giving the answer that you need to hear, not the one you want. When you gain experience on the journey you become really good at recognizing where people are stuck. Here is your problem fundamentally: You are focusing on things you can't control instead of the things you can. Simple as that. You have valid points? Of course, nothing new but of course. Does your points help you getting laid? Not at all. Instead of creating a topic about how unfair online dating is to men, make one asking how you can succeed in online dating or what the alternatives are. This is a resourceful mindset, which, by the way, is a key mindset in men that are successful with women. So, again, stop complaining, start to focus on what you can do to be successful.

So? Good luck jerking off forever then. Listen, stop looking for problems and start looking for solutions. That's the mindset of a top 5% men anyway.

Is this new for you? Wtf Of course, it will not favor you in any way and the women there will choose the top 5% of guys with a better profile, not only looks but all the points i wrote in my previous post. But my point is: you can bitch about it (and it explains in part your lack of success with women) or you can find solutions. Online dating shouldn't be your primary dating strategy anyway. IT's simple: with online dating the best thing girls can select you is by your looks and social proof. In-person you can be a total loser but if you act like a boss in front of her, she will love you. She isn't paying much attention to your looks, it is only a bonus at best. IF you are good looking but shy and lack confidence, she will not like you.

Something tells me that you were looking for a confirmation bias Yeah, online dating isn't optimal and should be used as a bonus, not your primary dating strategy. But it is totally possible even if you are average looking but have a good profile (good photos, funny unique bio, social proof, dog photo, good text game etc). Most men just get frustrated and start to bitch and moan when they discover that online dating isn't as easy as they were led to believe. They think "oh god, YES, this online dating thing makes so easy to get laid, it is only pressing buttons", which is kind of the least manly mindset ever.

Jealousy and high self-esteem aren't compatible. I would bet your self-esteem isn't as high as you think. Having a true abundance mentality. That's why i always preach practicing cold approach, it is practically the only way to have true abundance with girls, to have a firm conviction that if your girl leaves you at any moment you could easily meet someone new and, maybe, even better than her. Having a strong sense of purpose is also key, that grounds you in a way that people come and go but you remain focused on what is important to you. The sweet spot is when you truly believe that your life is as awesome, if not more awesome when you are single. Women sense that shit oozing out of you and they love it.

No.

Oh GOD, just START ALREADY WITH THE AWESOME QUOTE AND LEO'S BALD HEAD

I love this guy! Cried a bit when he died

yeah, that's a trippy experience for sure!
