@Leo Gura Here's the problem I'm having. It may very well be the case (according to the problem I'm having) that mechanical intelligence and stuff dealing with thinking of mechanical stuff with a particular concreteness of thought is more accomplishing than, say, something which is infinitely more complex but less dense as a unit (such as Nothingness or other abstract planes).

For example I could experience electrical bliss and ecstasy in the body and see into other realms which are very complex and have real overlap with this reality, and there's apparent infinite intelligence there, and I could get everything I've ever wanted. But I still may have issue understanding how bridges are built.

That issue is solved by simply dropping all your fantasies of how life ought to be. When you get very serious about truth you accept your life situation exactly as it is. So much so that you aren't childishly sitting around wishing it were otherwise.

If you were confined to a wheelchair you would just accept it as how reality is. Just as you now just accept that you are not a bird who can fly.

The goodness and intelligence of reality is not about pleasing or serving your fantasies. These two things are just not related.

On the face of it this could be terrible advice. Most of your fantasies ideally wouldn't be consigned to fantasy, they would be acted on.

But also, it's up to you to test whether you can change your situation. After the change, your situation becomes the truth.

However, I understand that there will be things that you won't likely be able to change because of the limitations of technology.

A sure way of driving yourself mad is to sit around every day wishing you were a bird.

I agree.

Being lost in wishful thinking wouldn't actually change your situation as it's goal is to motivate you into changing your situation.

You could use paranormal means to become a bird through shapeshifting like don Juan, so this isn't true.

Or you could use makeup, fashion, style, feather and wing and beak accessories, and personality  to become more birdlike, at the very least.

You could even get surgery to avianize your face.

You could write poetry and paint paintings of birds.

You could learn to paraglide.

Thank you for the music recommendations. I've been listening to the Actualized.org music playlist part 2 every day since you dropped it and it's leveled up my music taste 10x. Thank you. I love you. <3

Yeah birds do not have to do that stuff.

Thats why they’re birds.

You can do that stuff, though. Have fun.

Great point: a lot of resonance there. Even though is still a new domain.

there is this channel „Daryll Anka“ who supposedly channels the messages of „Bashar“ which is an alien entity, closely existing within the frequency of God.

He says; that whenever you follow your „highest excitement“ you act out of the highest intelligence possible in that moment. It’s also crucial to let go of expectations to what the outcome of that excitement might be. And to thoroughly question your belief system, which might dampen your excitements artificially. 

You can look it up, he made a whole formula around this insight. 

You resonate with this approach?

Of course I know Bashar.

He gives great advice.

The problem I have with his "just follow you highest excitement" advice is that actualizing serious passion projects requires insane levels of discipline and doing shit you don't wanna do. Just because you are excited today does not mean you will be excited a year from now, but getting a project completed requires doing work even when would rather do something else. This is the hardest part of success: years of consistent discipline.

Bashar's advice here feels naive and childish. Go try to complete a multi-million 5 year project by just following your excitement from day to day.

Most of the time I work on a new Actualized video I am not highly excited about it, it's a grind. Especially after 10 years of doing it. I am not highly excited to do my taxes, clean my toilet, answer emails, fix broken servers, pay bills, moderate spammers, deal with trolls, meditate for hours on end, deconstruct my ego, etc, etc. Yet all that crap is necessary to make Actualized.org work.
