Or so we think. You see?

Why the urge for enlightening the world? I mean, no problem, of course, but are you aware of why you want the world to awaken? (hint: ego). This post is not directed at the OP per se.

@Yahya Actualized.org is one of the greatest sources for wisdom and philosophy that I know of, as long as you balance the theory with practice. The golden ratio for me is: 10% theory 90% practice. However, it will inevitably become an ideology unless you are very careful. I personally have noticed a lot of dogmatic people here parroting Leo's teachings. So, be careful.

A waste of what exactly? Look at a dog, it doesn't prefer Disneyland over a fire hydrant. That is wisdom.

@Farnaby Could you describe your daily schedule in general?

Is it wrong to be wrong?

It's absurd how people who claim to be open-minded turn out to be very closed-minded towards others whom they consider closed-minded, and then they justify to themselves making fun of them, hello ego @hundreth ??

@Shin "If you want love, don't hide from yourself"

Give them security.

How your perception is true and your thoughts don't accept that

@Sidi I think you're asking the question from a stage orange perspective. I'd say that you were born in specific circumstances, and people viewed/view/will view you accordingly. When people say: "know your worth", they usually mean know your place in life, and your value to others. However, since all values are made up, then you're free to make anything you want worthy. To me, in terms of value, less = more.

I was suffering like shit. Depression, OCD, ADHD, zero social skills, zero self-esteem, stressed all the time. I don't remember everything that I suffered at that point ,but I'm glad I'm over most of them.

@John West "New is always better." -- Barney Stinson I mean that new experiences will grow you a lot, whatever they might be.

@Scholar I wouldn't say it's impossible, I would rather say it's weird and mysterious.

@WelcometoReality @Shin I wish you all the best you two. Remember that love conquers fear, and death. So, remember the ones you love when you face your fears. I love you guys ❤️

@dimitri From my limited understanding, it looks like you want to have the best and most accurate maps for those different territories.

@dimitri You're welcome

Because the definition is highly dependent on the field you're concerned with. Are you asking what is understanding on an existential, philosophical, practical, political, social, educational, economical, etc... level? The answer is different for every single one of them, so it's highly dependent on your use of the question. "Why did the chicken cross the road?" There's no answer for that question really, it's just relative to the use of the question, and the answer can take many different forms, again, depending on your concerns.

I hope it will heal very soon.

@dimitri I think a better question is: why do you think you should define understanding?

I wasn't agreeing. He/she was saying that direct experience is nothing without thought. That isn't quite right. You should stop jumping to conclusions from reading one post. Your judgements are getting very hasty.

@mandyjw There are various huge obstacles in your way, here are some: Lack of previous experiences in organising such big projects. Big projects require a company, or at least a group of people with a lot of influence, infrastructure, acquaintances, finances, power, marketing, etc... And most importantly, they must share the same goal(s). Effective project leaders always consider the possibility of failure, for which they probably have a backup plan. Have you studied the population in your area? Statistics? How are you going about attracting people? Are they even interested in the services you will offer? Criticism; you can't avoid being criticised whatever you do, and it can get really nasty. Are you sure you can handle it? The pay-off; with the amount of money you already have, is there a better way to utilise it? Are you driven by money or by desire? Or by both? Personally, I'd go for financial security first, and only then I'd consider helping others. I brainstormed those just now, I'm sure you can brainstorm others, especially with other, more experienced people than me.

"Open-mindedness should only serve my cause" -- Lucifer

You can call it whatever you want. It doesn't matter what we call it. The label is not it.

I know that. I was trying to point out to Leo that ideology is needed to overcome this issue. Ideology can be along the lines of: "you are the environment". We don't need to lie to ourselves, ideology can be very useful. Leo dismisses it all the time, I wonder if he's even aware that Actualized.org is already an ideology, a subtle one indeed.
