It is hard to describe because no doctor understands such issues. Some kind of inflammation of the brain. You can easily avoid it by lowering your doses and not using psychedelics daily. I see no reason why it would.

Let's get a thread going that showcases the deep intelligence of survival in nature. This helps people see the intelligence and sneakiness of survival in the human realm. Try to post examples not merely of survival, but the intelligent, deceptive, and sneaky nature of survival.

When they gossip about elites eating babies, they mean this guy. Is there any doubt this guy would eat a baby to make himself feel younger?

The solution is to not focus too much on sex but focus on your life purpose and personal and spiritual development, without rejecting sex.

Sexual craving is more akin to hunger than it is to attachment. You aren't attached to food, your body craves it. Likewise with sex. Unless you got some additional attachment on top of that, which is possible. If your hromones changed your craving for sex would change or even disappear. This will happen naturally as you get older. Your body is seeking sex. Your spirit is seeking higher things. In the same way that your spirit may seek God but your body just wants some ice cream.

That is certainly too sloppy. A distinction also needs to be made between belief and just thinking. Belief implies a conviction that some thought you have corresponds to reality. Belief has a mental attachment component.

I am announcing a new paid Actualized product called: Premium Clips & Videos Vault I recently recorded 17 hours of new 3-minute long short-form videos. 338 videos in total. It's the kind of stuff I've been posting on Instagram recently, but 17 hours of it all in one place. With much more added in the future. I will expand it to 500+ shorts soon. This is available for purchase now: https://www.actualized.org/store I plan to release about 30-50% of these clips across social media like Instagram slowly across the next year, but the rest will be exclusive to this product. And I plan to add more exclusive and longer videos to the Vault in the future. I have not yet created a proper sales page for this product. I'll do that in the coming week. But for those of you who already know you want it and don't need a sales pitch, it is fully functional and available for purchase right now. If you run into any bugs with the checkout process, please let me know here. This is like early access. I want to make sure it all working flawlessly before making a much broader announcement to the entire Actualized audience. You can see samples of what you're purchasing on my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/leogura1/ It's the same kind of vertical format videos, but 330+ of them on a wide range of topics. If you do decide to purchase it, please post some feedback here so I can make future improvements. I plan to do a lot more work on this product over the next few months. Note: Please be ware that over the next year I will be posting a decent percentage of these clips on Instagram. So if you want to be cheap you can just wait for freebies on Instagram. But at least 50% will be exclusive for those who purchase. You can binge watch them all today if the purchase without waiting around a year for the slow trickle. Or if you just want to avoid Instagram. The Vault is designed so that I can conveniently post random premium videos to it in the future whenever I feel like it. It helps support my business because YouTube does not pay well like it used to. In the future I will also add exclusive videos which are longer than 3 minutes which don't fit on Instagram.

There is both relative good and absolute Good. The common-sense way is relative. Once you become conscious of Good as an absolute, you can use it to inform your relative human behaviors and your morality. Human morality is a construct, however it still has some relation to absolute Good and consciousness. It's a tricky topic.

Fixed. Fixed. Well, you need to want a thing badly but then also learn to relax on top of that. It's a bit at-odds, but it can be done. More experience brings more confidence and mastery, which then allows you to trust the process and relax. But yes, wanting things creates stress and pressure to get it. This is not a bug. To truly relax you have to stop wanting so much stuff. I've discussed this elsewhere. Certainly I don't like how it is over-hyped by biz people, but I also don't like how it is being used to further reduce contemplation. And then also the fact that biz people are trying to use it to enslave the rest of us with their monopolies.

All the clips have now been posted. In total there are now 577 clips. That's 30 hours of new content. 239 clips added in total in this update.

Depends entirely on your genetics. For most people it does not increase consciousness but for some (like me) it does by a lot.

Discuss as much as you want.

@TheEnigma Because the brain is not as flexible as people assume. The brain is a physical structure that gets hard-coded and cemented into shape. The foundation of your mind/sanity goes extremely deep. It is not something that can be toyed with. You cannot just change your brain/mind on a whim. It is responsible for your daily survival.

This is a catch-all thread for any comments or discussions you guys wanna have about any entries from Leo's Blog.

I challenge you to invent a new concept or word related to our work here. Anything related to self-actualization, consciousness work, spirituality, politics, philosophy, psychology, mind, psychedelics. Example: Leftsplaining Example: Epistemic Scoundrel Rules: Come up with a catchy, memorable name for it. Define what your word means and what it does not mean. Give a few examples of how the word can be used. Explain why this new concept is meaningful, important, or useful. Be creative. I will feature any excellent submissions on my blog, with credit.

People seem to be getting into Kriya Yoga after my video, and lots of questions are coming up, so I thought it would be best to accumulate them all in one place. Post all your Kriya Yoga questions and tips here. Over time this should become a valuable resource for people. Similar to our monstrously large 5-MeO-DMT Mega-Thread. Feel free to share your advice, tricks, and progress reports. If we have a lot people doing Kriya, it would be cool to see how many people start experiencing gains and mystical experiences, and how quickly. It would be awesome if we had like 100 people post a progress report after 3, 6, and 12 months of practice. In the name of pseudo-science

Given the popularity of trip report threads on here, I think we need to start indexing them. This thread is for linking to all trip report threads on the forum. Do not actually post the content of your trip report here, just post a link. Someone please use the forum's search function and make a list of the best trip reports we've got and post links here. It'd be nice to organize them by substance, with sub-headings like: Mushrooms, LSD, AL-LAD, DMT, Ayahausca, 5-MeO, etc. I think this can become a valuable online resource for serious non-dual psychonauts. That kind of thing doesn't really exist elsewhere. Most places that list trip reports are recreation-focused, not spirituality-focused. Thanks!

Discuss: This guy says there's a UFO housed in Las Vegas!!

Post your best police cam videos here. This YT channel is AMAZING!

A clear sense of your values, priorities, and life purpose helps. But it can be very tricky to figure out when to quit a project or endeavor. That is specific to each case. There's not some formula for it. You have to start many projects, work on many projects, quit a few projects, and through that experience you will develop an intuition for it. But it still won't be perfect or easy. Some decisions are just tricky or unclear. Generally, cut your losses when the project is beyond your skill level or when the project is not really aligned with your top values. There needs to be an alignment between your project and your personality, so the project feels right to you. You are looking for a good "fit". If the project is a poor fit, then look for a better fit. Generally, don't start things that aren't a great fit to begin with. The more experience you have, the easier it is to feel what fits. If you lack experience, then you will just have to do more trial and error, testing lots of small things.

Yes, that's a good one.

Just observe it. With psychedelics you will be able to observe it much deeper.

@Cubbage Awesome! Namaste There is no guru like DMT

I refuse to believe people authentically love Pedro Pascal.

Pedro Pascal. Please just stop already!
