It's a tricky matter. Ultimately everything is God's will. But you just so happen to be God

Careful! Perception is not actually happening via the brain or the eyeballs. Perception as it is commonly understood is not really happening at all. It's a conceptual scheme you're imagining. BEING is what's really happening, not perception. Perception is BEING co-opted by ego/devil. Without the ego, perception does not occur. But this doesn't mean that colors and sensations vanish, they simply get recontextualized as something other than "my perceptions". The very notion of "perception" is already infected with ego because it assumes that perceptions are things which happens to you through your nervous system. This is not actually true. Perceptions are not caused by the nervous system. You merely imagine they are. In fact, you imagine your entire nervous system. "My nervous system" is a sneaky metaphysical construct which you use to ground your sense of reality. It would be helpful to stop believing in perceptions or a nervous system. You must completely unground your sense of solid reality. Your mind must become so free that you cannot even tell what a human body or a coffee table is, because those are all conceptual things. You must even forget that you are on a planet Earth or inside a physical universe, since those are all conceptual projections which are grounding the ego. You must reach a point where your entire sensory field is free of all conceptual interpretations or groundings. At this point, you will not know what anything is. You will look at your hand and not even recognize it as a hand. You will not know what "hands" are. Because "a hand" is actually a conceptual construction. You actually have no idea what that thing called "a hand" is. Even to call it a "thing" is already incorrect. This is extremely tricky and subtle stuff. I cannot stress that enough.

And how is it you are going to achieve that when all of your fear is grounded in duality? Nondualty is not an ideology, theory, or even a worldview. It is the very nature of yourself and existence. So long as you are operating from duality, you will never be able to overcome fear, master your emotions, or move away from animal behavior. Nor will you ever be cool, calm, collected, or happy. Because all of that is the foundation of being an separate ego self. You're not appreciating yet how deep all of your emotional problems go. They are not something you can just solve with a few self-help techniques. To resolve those issues requires that you literally experience your own death because death is what you're running away from. Nor will you be able to resolves those issues within the materialist paradigm. The benefit to you of nonduality is that you will experience what it means to live for the very fist time in your life. Everything you've done up to this point was a sick joke. You have never actually lived yet. The way life works is: you only get what you give.

Goovy! It's not that the machine elves are playing your life though. They would not interfere with a human's free will. That would be improper for a highly conscious being to do, defeating the whole purpose of incarnation. Also, reincarnation is more complex than simply becoming a machine elf. Free will would also be exercised in the reincarnation process. Think of it more like this: You are deciding who you want to be based on what you need to further evolve your consciousness. Becoming a machine elf would make sense IF one has fully exhausted the lessons of being a physical entity like a human. I would guess that most humans will not become machine elves because they still have much to learn about being human.

@Joker_Theory You're not likely to understand it without psychedelics. It is nothing you can imagine or think. Yet you're inside of it right now and every word you type is it.

@Ampresus Become friendly with her social circle in a chill, casual way. Tell them a funny story or something like that. Or ask them some opinion opener like, "Hey girls, I need your opinion on something..." and then think some interesting topic to ask them about like: "Does it count as cheating if my friend has a girlfriend but he's texting other girls?" Something gossipy like that is good. Then you can focus more on chatting her up individually. "Hey girl, you look like the biggest troublemaker of this bunch. It's the quiet ones which are the biggest troublemakers. Hey, has anyone told you yet how beautiful I am? ;)" The biggest secret for attracting girls is simply to learn to be more social. Practice starting random conversations with strangers. It's hella hard to build attraction through social media. Your odds will be much higher in person where you can charm her a bit with words. And it will build better charming skills for you. In school girls most get attracted to the guys with the most social status. Being a loner is not helping your cause. It'd be better if you built a circle of your own friends. This shows you're a somebody. Then your odds will improve.

Sounds like your neediness spooked her away. Or she just wasn't that into you. Sometimes a girl will lose attraction for you after the first date because she doesn't quite resonate with your style. But if you did 3 whole dates and made out a bunch of times, clearly she was into it. A girl will not make out with you unless she is interested in sleeping with you. In fact, my rule of thumb is, if a girl is willing to go on a first date with you at all, she's already accepted that you are fuckable. She would never agree to go on a date with a guy she thought was unfuckable. So ALWAYS assume it's ON at day 1! Never doubt whether she wants to sleep with you. Always assume YES! Just maybe not on the first date. But by date 3 you should definitely close it. Of course if she tells you No! then you stop. If a girl is into you she responda to texts quickly and eagerly. Often within minutes. Days between texts is a horrible sign. 3 day+ between texts and she might as well be dead. Girls will NEVER reject a guy explicitly. They will always just delay and ignore or come up with lame excuses. You have to get good at reading between the lines and suss out when she is wasting your time with endless delay tactics.

@SriBhagwanYogi The only environment you need is a quiet room. Kriya yoga is meant to be practiced alone. It is not a group activity.

@Anderz Sorry to rain on your parade but you are engaging in fantasy here. Why not do some meditative practices and investigate actuality? Idle theorizing is not what this work is about and you will never reach Truth that way. You must discipline the mind to stop speculating about things you don't have direct experience of.

All of that is happening in your direct experience

@AlwaysBeNice He's a shady one. Not so great.

@Beeman Your very question it itself a direct experience. So you're begging the question. You're using direct experience to ask whether you can trust direct experience. Name one thing which is not a direct experience. You can't. Direct experience is actually prior to trust.

@Drake140 You are right at the nexus of deciding what will happen. You are the player of the game. So yes, there are rules of course, but you have a say too, since you are a part of creation. You already hold that everything which happens obeys certain rules. This you call the physical world. You can't just turn into bird and fly away. Limitations are imposed upon you at all times as a human.

Lol, that's the rub. You are God playing a devil. So unless you decide to stop being a devil, and accept yourself as God, you will be a devil. No one can awaken you but you because you are the only thing there is. Since you are God you have infinite power to deny that you are God. And that's what you're so busy doing. You don't like the things I say because it interferes with your denial process.

That doesn't mean it's free of corruption and falsehoods. Since God creates all falsehoods too. The trick is distinguishing the truth from the falsehoods.

I just want to caution you guys once again of the extraordinary subtly and depth of this work. There is no more advanced work for human beings than this. So watch your step. Don't think you can just barge in here, watch a few videos, and figure out all of life. Not. So. Fast! There are traps! Thousands of traps. If you want very deep understanding you better be ready for some very deep and careful study. You're not going to appreciate the things I talk about unless you read at least 100 books. But even that is still just the beginning of this journey. There is no deeper or more challenging human endeavor than holistic, stage Turquoise+ spirituality. But also none as rewarding.

@CreamCat Obviously. Otherwise they could not occur. You can't make GTA do anything which isn't already coded into it, by definition. Of course the programmers themselves do not have a full understanding of all the possibilities they coded, because the possibilities are infinite. They'd have to have an infinite mind to know that. In a sense, you'd have to play an infinite number of GTA sessions in order to fully know what GTA is. So no one actually knows what GTA is other than God, who has played through everything everywhere. That's what omniscience is: the state of all possible unfoldings of reality unfolded in zero time. From God's ultimate POV, everything which can happen has happened because it is outside of time. Everyone is just one singularity, like a tiny seed. Except this is an infinite seed which holds all possible universes. Every video game that could ever be made exists in that seed. And every object that could ever exist.

Where? I don't see my name on it

That's good, but that doesn't make you right.

https://www.actualized.org/articles/the-ultimate-model-of-human-knowledge https://www.actualized.org/articles/the-mechanics-of-belief https://www.actualized.org/articles/understanding-how-paradigms-work https://www.actualized.org/articles/how-to-develop-big-picture-understanding https://www.actualized.org/insights/just-scaffolding https://www.actualized.org/insights/all-understanding-is-metaphoric https://www.actualized.org/insights/all-understanding-is-metaphoric-part-2 Those last two videos are particularly important to fathom. If you don't understand those, you will make a lot of errors in this work.

Yes, but over-rational people misunderstand that.

"Want" is a poetic word here. More accurately God just is. Is-ing and wanting boil down to the same thing. God is fully actualized at all times. What appears to you to be a process which takes time (people being born & dying) from God's POV has all happened in less than on trillionth of a second. Actually in zero time. Everything that will ever happen in the universe has already happened from God's POV. Infinity was fully actualized in zero time for eternity. But for a human to be a human, it must appear as though infinity is slowly unfolding. In truth it exists as folded & unfolded simultaneously because there isn't a difference between the two at the Absolute level. Think of a video game cartridge which already has all the possible gameplay sessions coded in it at once. In a sense, a video game is just an infinite possibility space. Every time you play it, it is different. But all the possible paths are already there baked into the cart. There's nothing you can do which will "surprise" the cart. In a sense, the cart "knows" all. You just have to tell it which paths you want to take. God is the entire cart AND all the individual gameplay sessions which can be played. The two are actually identical.

It's hard for the mind to understand or appreciate such an abstract point from the outset. You have to get deep into the work to appreciate that the snake will eat its own tail. The work is self-undermining, as any truthful teaching must be, because reality is groundless. So no teaching can actually become a solid ground. As soon as it does, it's a false teaching. I explained this long ago in my epistemology episodes. But hardly anyone takes those episodes seriously enough. The nature of reality is such that it cannot ever be pinned down. Anything you say it is, it also isn't, and it is also more than both. That is the nature of infinity.

The point of all of my pointers is that they will eventually undermine and devour themselves, like a snake eating its own tail. My goal is to take you on this amazing journey through your mind, for years, until one day you have an awakening so deep and so profound that you say: OH-MY-GOD! It's all NOTHING! Everything Leo was talking about was just a giant cosmic divine circle jerk which I created for myself in order to realize the fully glory of myself as God. OH-MY-GOD! But why was all this necessary? To show you the enormity of your own mind. Of course none of it is necessary. I just like exploring the mind. Don't think of my teachings as logical proofs. They are poetry and art. All we're doing here is celebrating the profundity of yourself as God.

Like I said, some ways of speaking about the Absolute are more "accurate" or "better" than others. This is a relative matter. It's a matter of fit between teacher and student. You might resonant more with the teachings of someone very different from me. I present things in a way which I feel is modern and appeals to ordinary folks on Youtube in the 21st century. Those detailed claims are still pointers. Like I could make very detailed claims about New York City to you, but none of them are the same as New York City itself. When you reach NYC itself, you'll see that my pointers were "correct" in many ways, but also not at all the same as NYC. Pointers are poetic devices which capture the essence of a thing. Try to describe the smell of a rose in words. You see the problem? Your words will never be it. But some words are better than others. If I wrote: "a rose smells like rotten fish" << that would be bad poetry. If I wrote: "a rose smells delicate and soft like a baby's bottom" << that's much closer There is no such thing as literal understanding. All understanding is poetic.
