It's impossible to try everything. When your health is bad it's a labor to try each next thing that fails to work. Randomly throwing stuff at the wall and hoping that something magically sticks is a terrible strategy. You will end up wasting a lot of time and money and get nowhere. I have tried every reasonable thing that had a decent chance of working. I am not gonna go on a wild goose chase, testing every New Age thing under the sun. At some point you have to accept your situation rather than trying to deny it. Genetics are a huge factor that you simply don't control.

Def not the same, but Putin is a dangerous guy. He is not like one of these bumbling American right-wingers. He will seize power and never give it back. American politicians are housecats next to Putin.

My visuals don't get that crazy. But yeah, if you smoke enough of it things get impossibly weird. I have seen geometric objects which simply cannot exist in 3D space. At that point the trip becomes traumatizing to the human psyche. It will scare the shit out of you.

I don't think he would be worse than Trump. Trump was bad but he was no Hitler or Putin.

Showering people with annoying New Agey quotes is not proper education.

I own some Bitcoin. But there is so much crap in the crypto space. Most crypto is literally securities fraud. I do believe Bitcoin has long-term potential. I have posted about crypto on my blog. What I really hate about crypto is the get-rich-quick culture. It's really toxic and harms many naive people. There is a serious lack of integrity in this field. When I say crypto bullshit I mostly mean everything except Bitcoin. I stand by my statement. You just got lucky. You could have just as easily lost all your money. You are not going to get 50% ROI on any serious investment, and to expect that is a recipe for disaster. A lot of people were badly hurt in the crypto crash. I've had fans of my work contact me and tell me they lost their whole life savings and that it ruined them. One of the things I regret is that I did not warn people enough about the dangers of crypto. I should have seen it coming. This was a classic case of mass delusion.

Except in this case it's quite a profound thing. It's rather amazing that something that seems so impossible and silly has not been disproven in 5000 years. Most philosophies are disproven and shown to be wrong within a matter of 100-300 years. This is an important clue.

Very good. But still just the tip of the iceberg of the problems with the epistemology and metaphysics of science.

@zurew Very impressive.

Man, I need to try some datura at some point.

What I said was more like: solipsism can never be disproven. Not a single philosopher has ever disproven solipsism. Which is why they just demonize it instead.

Well, I have a massive book to write, which will be my highest contribution to mankind in the area of philosophy. But then I was thinking of something related to digital art and motion graphics. It's not clear yet how far Actualized.org should go. I cannot predict anything at this point. I have to be open to wherever God directs me.

He is one of the best:

This looks like a uniquely Indian issue which has nothing to do with LGBTQ issues in general. It's more like a pedophilia/sex-trafficking issue.

I looked into that. That particular AP class had some pretty radical "queer theory" in it which seemed unnecessarily political. Again, SJWs do attempt to smuggle in their political theories into the classroom. But I would need to look into it more deeply. I just know that I cannot trust progressives to report accurately on that particular issue. They act like there is zero smuggling of SJW agendas, which I don't think is true. DeSantis did not ban African American studies. This is a very distorted characterization. This makes it seem like he is against teaching African American studies. He is not. What he did was force the makers of that AP program to change their curriculum to remove queer political theory. With that removed, African America studies are allowed. So don't paint him as some kind of racist who wants to ban the teaching of black history. Look, of course I don't agree with many right-wing policies. But I have no worry that DeSantis will be some authoritarian if he becomes President. Yes, he will definitely try to pass right-wing policy. As all Republican Presidents do. And much of that policy will probably be stupid. I have watched it. That's a great movie. I don't remember anything about gender issues in there. But I watched it like 15 years ago.

I would need to see some evidence of this. Sounds absurd.

That's very anecdotal. You cannot deny that SJW activists want their agenda injected into school curriculum. Removing books with gay characters is hardly authoritarianism. Yes, it's a bit stringent. But it's not like these kids cannot go to Amazon and buy whatever books they want. Portraying this as leading to death camps is silly.

He's banning some books that promote homosexuality and gender fluidity. Don't act like this is some kind of Nazi book-burning. Or like DeSantis would issue serious book bans as President. The conservative position in America is quite simple: get LGBTQ ideology out of the minds of youngsters. That is their policy proposal. You can disagree with it, but it is not some authoritarian plot to censor the whole country. It is legitimate to wonder at what age it is appropriate to introduce children to LGBTQ ideas. Please... As if SJWs are not influencing and indoctrinating kids in certain ways. I saw a video clip of a teacher in what looked like kindergarten teaching kids that they don't have to be boys or girls, but anything they want. This is not some absolutely positive thing to teach. These kids will grow up confused as fuck and they will have difficulty dating. Telling a boy that "Maybe you're not a boy" should be concerning to any reasonable parent. It's not grooming, but it is a kind of ideology/worldview, the consequences of which are not entirely obvious yet. It's one thing to teach non-bullying of trans kids, it's another thing to actively tell all kids as a baseline that their gender is fluid and up in the air. If I had a boy in 1st grade, I would not want these LGBTQ activists to be telling him that maybe he's a girl or a they/them. I'm not gonna be calling my 1st grade boy a "they/them". And neither will most parents be cool with that. This will create a generation of pussies who will become miserable incels because no serious woman will want to fuck them.

I think it is not very deep Consciousness, and it doesn't at all convey the breadth that Consciousness has. He's not wrong, but it goes way deeper. And his methods are incapable of getting you to the highest levels of Consciousness. You will not get there through any amount of journaling.

Should be epic. Bottoms up!

I'm not sure. I haven't reached it. That's a fair concern, but I can assure you that there is so much of Consciousness worth exploring that I don't need to make shit up. And if you notice, I release less content than ever. Because I spend more of my time exploring and I have no interest in releasing any filler content just for the sake of content. I have even considered retiring soon. Because I will not keep making content just to make content. I will only make content until there's nothing else worthwhile left to say. Once I've said everything I want to say, I will move on to totally different work. So enjoy the ride while it lasts.

It's very calming to surrender to Absolute Truth. Resisting it is a bitch.

Absolute Truth is a trap from which God itself cannot escape.

Oh yes. The only thing you'll ever find is God and Self. Ever deeper levels. It goes as deep as you can stand.

My care for the well-being of my students is in their increase in understanding of reality. That is my focus. Not pampering their emotions. I don't want you to need me to comfort you. Because I will not be around forever. I want your understanding of reality to comfort you. That will stay with your whole life and comfort you more than I ever could. Stop infantilizing my viewers. The majority of people who watch are emotionally strong enough to handle what is said. A few aren't. I provide caveats for those who aren't. I provoke people into waking up. This will rub some people the wrong way. But if you follow what I teach eventually you will reach a profound understanding of reality. That is what my work is about. I have no problem understanding compassion. I have my own style of it. It is a more masculine verison of compassion. If you ever deeply Awaken via my work then you will understand why I said the things I said in the ways I said them. And until you Awaken, it won't make much sense. Because I had to prod you to go beyond all human stuff. You want me to cater to human stuff, and I just have little interest in that. You want me to fit some stereotype of a sweet, harmless guru. And I deliberately don't do that. Because it is not conducive to the levels of consciousness I wish you to reach. It really is that simple. You guys love to create drama over it. And that's a useful way to not engage the actual work. Those who aren't serious about the work end up creating a lot of drama. Of course. Oldest trick in the book. You like to tell yourselves you already understand what is beibg taught, but you are putting the cart before the horse. You actually start to think you've outsmarted me. Everyone here should ask themselves honestly: Do I think I've outsmarted Leo? And then seriously contemplate whether you have, and how you can be so sure about that. This is where things get real tricky. Many people come here and mouth off, having convinced themselves they've outsmarted me. Which is a very clever way to avoid the guidance I offer. As I have warned, this work is extremely advanced and self-deceptive. It will take you many years to fully appreciate that. In the meantime you might blame me. But ask yourself, what have I truly done to hurt you? Said some harsh words? Shared some radical ideas? Are you so fragile? How are you gonna face the brutality of life if my words hurt you so badly? Life is gonna slap you around much worse than that. My job is to make you strong enough to withstand the big things life will throw at you. - - - - - And if you care to understand why I act the way I act, you should also keep in mind the enormous personal ordeal that I have had to go through to transcend all human spiritual teachings, including nondualism and Buddhism, in order to reach the levels of consciousness that I have. That did not come without cost. I had to wipe my ass with all human ideas about reality. So excuse me if I'm a bit of a cunt and I am not respectful to your ideas at all times. I did what I had to do to reach where I needed to reach in order to teach at the advanced levels I wanted to teach. I simply did not have the luxury of caring about your emotions during that process.
