@StephenK Reground yourself in the beauty of being. All your good motivations will come back as you make it through this work. Let the fraudulent, inauthentic motivations fall away. This requires courage and faith.

The only problem here is that the concept of solipsism carries with it a slew of misleading associations. Yes, all there is, is the Infinite Self. But thinking of it as solipsism will mislead you. Solipsism makes the ego feel more real, which is the opposite of what we want.

@David_eh Nihilism? That would be your judgment. Death is the ultimate, infinite beauty. P.S. Obviously don't shoot yourself in the head. Attain death through existential inquiry.

@Psyche_92 Schedule x4 10-day solo meditation retreats per year. That will auto-correct your problem. Cutting internet is not a viable solution. The solution must come at the level of your consciousness. Psychedelics help a lot too for this.

Lol Maya at her finest.

@Source_Mystic You're underestimating enlightenment. The distinction you make between symbolic and actual is a duality, and it will collapse. See, you're assuming physical existence has reality to it (materialist paradigm). But it doesn't. You were never alive to begin with. That is a self-deception. Once all dualities collapse, there will literally be no difference between life and death. I said what I said precisely to puncture this illusion of physical existence which was assumed in the questioner's question. The problem here is a misunderstanding of what "death" means. "Death" isn't about the body, so much as it is about the idea of "you". This was explained in the Self-Deception episode. Stop thinking of death as a physical process. Death is a mental process. What death really means is: death of the idea of you. Because the truth is, there never was a you to begin with. So the only thing that can die is the idea of you. Death is not a problem of physicality. Death is a problem of false identity. See, you're sort of like an insane person who thinks he's Napoleon. Of course he isn't really Napoleon, but he believes it so much that to him, if he ever stops believing he's Napoleon, that will be his death.

Of course

@MM1988 You're not getting it. Enlightenment IS death. Once you're dead, will you still worry about death??

@egoless The answer is simply: Absolute Infinity. There is nothing to stop it. No, it has no personality. It is emptiness.

That's right. It's a strange loop. It is struggling to control itself.

There cannot be any points when everything is ONE.

Christopher McCandless was only starting his spiritual journey. His insights were not very mature yet. Unfortunately he died before we could realize enlightenment. You could be the last surviving person on Earth and still be perfectly happy. In fact, it might be easier! What you will realize at the deepest levels of enlightenment is that you are all alone. There is no one in the entire universe but yourself! So who are you sharing it with? Only yourself. All sex is masturbation. All of life is God masturbating furiously to himself. P.S. But of course, that's me speaking from the ultimate perspective. From a more relative, pragmatic, human perspective, Yes! Sharing happiness with other people is rewarding and satisfying, so don't be too much of a loner.

Or maybe just one out of infinitely many

Of course that won't persuade them because they are deluded. So when the execution's axe is just about to slice your neck in half, you can remind yourself, "This is all just a dream." That should take some of the sting out of it.

@Alien Something tells me you will be extra pleased when you finally glimpse the Absolute

@Alien Well, of course, if you're into this work, that already makes you rather exceptional. My theory is, some people just naturally like to get their mind fucked. Those are the ones who gravitate towards nonduality. I'm like that. With that said, even though I love a good mindfuck, I also love my ego. So a tug-of-war must happen. The real test of how much you love a good mindfuck is: if there was a mindfuck so deep the only way you could glimpse it was by killing yourself, would you do it? The only reason you're gravitating towards it right now is because your mind doesn't really understand the extent of the mindfuck. You like little mindfucks. But you do not like big mindfucks which will totally obliterate you. The big mindfucks will take you totally by surprise, and it's good they do because otherwise you would probably never approach them. The whole problem here is that you are being asked to kill yourself. And of course you can't want that. 3 billion years of evolution are pushing their finger on the scale. But we can sucker you into it by having you believe that it won't be real death, but just like an mini "ego-death" -- which your mind can rationalize to itself as being "cool" and "good". But, then one day you will discover much to your shock -- No, we were talking about actual death! But then it will be too late. You will already be dead. And you will be pleased. But not in the way you expect. In other words, we have to use the mind's self-deceptions against itself to escape itself.

12mg would give most people a panic attack.

Yes, reality is undefined. That is its very nature: Undefinability. Infinity. Freedom. It must be that way because there is nothing outside of it which can be used to define it with! See? A definition requires 2 parts: the undefined term + the defining terms. But reality is one. So it can only define itself via itself, which is just begging the question. So it is never really defined. It can merely appear so. QED Reality is like a word forever in search of a definition. Every object you look at is unknown and unknowable. Notice this. You don't actually know what anything is! Slapping a label on an object merely gives the illusion of knowledge. But the underlying phenomenon still remains unknown no matter how many labels you slap on it. And the labels themselves are yet more unknown phenomena! So the problem only gets worse with more labels.

Is Wetiko just an alternate spelling of Wendigo?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendigo

I think going celebate is great, but only if you're genuinely inspired to do it.

The whole point is that you don't know until you take it. Facing the fear of the unknown is 90% of the challenge here. And it's not always guaranteed to go well. You have to face that, or don't. Which is why you always start with baby doses of all psychedelics and inch your way up depending on what you can handle.

You don't need to be perfect, but you should start to get your shit together. It's hard to counsel others when you're lacking in development yourself. The hardest part of running Actualized.org is that I have to work on all my inner demons, otherwise I give the wrong advice. It's hard to help people when your own mind is corrupted by the very same delusions from which they suffer. I may have to actually quit Actualized.org for a while to focus 100% on my own delusions. So I can teach better. But if you really feel called to it, pursue it. You'll figure stuff out along the way.

I dunno. You should direct that question to your testicles and see what they have to say on the matter.

@Mighty Mouse Workin' on it.

That's it! No more free videos! Out of compassion. P.S. Where do I buy one of those fuzzy hats?
