If Thought = What we perceive as an external reality, why we value one over the other? What are the limits of imagination? What is an illusion, then?

Nice, take care and ground yourself

I am grateful for all other answers but this one hit the nail on the head! They DO seem too close, personal, subtler and appear almost non-stop which explains our identification with them. They have this natural "pull", i can see how this is but a life-long habit. So, EVERY thought implies duality?

Bro, i watched your whole video and what i am going to say, will be with love and compassion: Don't ever record or post videos on the internet while under the influence of psychedelic substances. I am assuming you were tripping balls when you recorded this video but that was yesterday and today you still posted it here so i am guessing you are in going through some sort of manic episode (as you stated in a number of your videos). Are you ok? Do you have anyone to talk to?

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?

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.
