I'd agree, your posts are of very high quality.

Ohhh, that's very kind

I also find myself asking why I do it, when I put a decent amount effort into my posts, and most of the time I don't even receive an answer

That's something I usually reflect about. I have to say that I used to be more engaged talking about awakening, but the more you advance the more "alone" you are in the sense that very few people have arrived that far. I don't feel anymore it's my responsability to defend truth, convince others or entering in endless debate, but to be of service to those who wanna listen and being available for that.

I have shifted my focus on the mere enjoyment of being in the forum and interacting. I've become more playful and fun. I saw people like Yimpa and Bazooka Jesus being humorous and decided to join.

Yes, it's great to contrast yourself with other people in the path. I've learnt tons from the forum. People have exposed my bullshit so I have done with them. I have received life transforming advice that has enriched my life profoundly. Actualized.org forum is like a collection of shit and Jewellery, you gotta discern for yourself. There is a lot of value here, more than anywhere else in other social media platforms.

It may be

Explain why these guys say things like "I don't care about money", "I don't have hidden agendas" and charge $100 for 30 minutes of their fucking time?

They all seem like hypocrites taking advantage of people and getting lost in the guru pedestal.

Another example is Fred Davis, charging $250 for 1 hour talk.

I like Fred Davis. A lot of free content. You dont have to pay, but the guy also needs to make a living and if people like the value he provides in their lives, its all good. As long as they have free content as well, I dont see a problem. If they have a *secret* that is only revealed if you pay them, then run away. Otherwise, its perfectly fine. 

Spiritual teachers dont have to live on the street to not be hypocritical.

I highly doubt if any of this is worth the money you pay them.

I trust Leo to make high quality course that makes worth every penny. But most internet gurus regurgitate content that is already there on the internet for free and sell it you.

I will be highly sceptical of buying information. I believe it's fundamentally unethical to charge for information, especially when you are giving it for the general public.

But many people are not looking for information that can get them to the next level, they want emotional support and assurance. That's what they are really buying more than anything.

Do it long enough somebody will thank you. People only thank you when your post resonates with their paradigm. 

So the weirder you are the less resonance you will emit. Also if your message is not clear enough then people won't resonate with it either.

Thanks for your reply. I guess by weirder you mean you how potent and pregnant with truth it is. But i get what you're saying, I could see how it'd look weird from the normie perspective. These days I just take it for granted that I have a deep holistic understanding of reality, which only 0.001% precent of the population have. I just don't like to get overly technical, convoluted and clinical with my teachings. I want them to be general, simple and poetic. Guess that won't resonate with a lot of people, but oh well. They'll probably get something from it, and the rest of you will vibe with it.

Yeh I dont care about money either, but still HAVE to survive. Why not help people and get rich? Double whammy. Also if he is a valuable teacher why wouldnt you want to support him financially? He can then do it full time and help more people. In the end, it turns out its you thats selfish because you dont want to pay for the most valuable thing in the whole universe. And help the teacher. And others. Lol.
