Leo made a post a few months ago talking about how he’s wanting to go on tour at some point in the near future. He wants to start nearby, which is totally understandable, but the issue here is his fan base is literally spread out across the globe. Let’s think of some ways he can draw larger crowds and make some money during his events. Here's a few: Host With w/ Other YouTubers- If he goes to L.A. for example, he and Koi Fresco could host an event together. Books- Leo has an upcoming book, so he could release them there early and sell autographed copies. Discounts- He could offer temporary discount codes for his book list and life purpose course. T Shirts/Stickers/Hats- We love these things in America. Where I live especially, people will donate a pint of their own blood for a sticker to proves it. If it has a neat design or logo on it too, they’re going to sell out. and of course… Selfies w/ Fans- It’s always fun to take pictures with someone you admire.

What term for Consciousness, God, Brahman, Being, Nothingness, the Tao, etc., resonates with you and your level of understanding? I tend to like Witnessing Presence or what Adyashanti calls Conscious Spirit. How about you?

Stage Green, at least from my vantage point, comes off as feminine and weak. When you read about it, there seems to be an exorbitant amount of attention placed on emotions, pacifism, and indecision. I understand this is a necessary step to get to Stage Yellow, but I imagine for many men it must feel a little strange. Where is the strength and vitality in this mindset? To stage Green or formerly Stage Green men, are you/were you happy with yourself and your sense of masculinity at this stage? I'm at Stage Blue for the most part, so it'd be nice to hear y'alls perspective on this topic.

Islam is arguably the most polarizing topic of our times, and, regardless of our opinions, let's admit Leo showed us a lot of courage in posting this latest video. So after watching the video, what do you think of Leo's overall take on Islam?

I know it sounds silly, but I'm asking here in earnest. I'm listening to an audiobook of Dean Radin's new work Real Magic and am learning how magic is an undeniable fact of our existence. I don't mean jumping through walls, teleporting, levitating, flying, etc.; I'm speaking about the more subtle powers like telekinesis, remote viewing, clairvoyance, blessings, and the ability to detect someone perceiving you from a great distance. So what do you possess? Were you born with the ability, or did you develop it? Looking forward to your replies.

@Leo Gura This'll be my last one Leo. I realized I’ve probably crossed the line here and will be leaving. I’m still going to watch your videos, buy your products (they’ve been very helpful), and keep my meditation routine going. Just to clarify, I’m not a Neo-Nazi. History can be written and interpreted in various ways, and unless we were there when it happened, can we really know for certain? This is why I remain open to whatever the evidence may be. As you can see from my previous quote, I’m not praising Hitler; I simply wanted to demonstrate that he may not be the purely evil, two-dimensional character he is often depicted as. This was the only depiction I was given while attending school and university. Further, I’m not a nationalist. I am, however, proud of my heritage and the contributions of those that came before me. If I understand correctly Leo, you and your family immigrated to the United States from Europe when you were younger. In contrast, many of my ancestors have resided here prior to even the Revolution. Several of my forefathers fought wars here. I own the helmet of my grandfather from when he fought in WWII. My father also served in the military for this country and volunteered to fight in Vietnam. When you have this kind of heritage and learn about it at an early age, you really come to appreciate and honor those that came before you. It took a lot of struggle so I’d be here enjoying my life in a powerful, developed country. I wanted to post in this thread because I’m in Stage Blue and wanted to show you all how many of us think. You’re probably right Leo; consciousness work is not right for me. I’m going to keep at it still, and maybe things will change. If not, that’s okay too; I’ve had fun and had some interesting experiences I wouldn’t have had otherwise. I’ve learned a great deal and have a lot of respect for you and everyone on here. I hope ultimately you all find what you are looking for. Farewell everybody.

@OBEler Don't worry; you're not the only one here that knows about Hitler's other side. He's truly one of the most misunderstood figures in history. I promised Leo I'd be good from now on, so I'm not going to put a link for the documentary that talks about it on here (You might know it already). Instead, I'll just leave a quote for others here to consider: "Pride in one's own race—and that does not imply contempt for other races—is also a normal and healthy sentiment. I have never regarded the Chinese or the Japanese as being inferior to ourselves. They belong to ancient civilisations, and I admit freely that their past history is superior to our own. They have the right to be proud of their past, just as we have the right to be proud of the civilisation to which we belong." -Adolf Hitler Genoud, François, ed. (1961). The Testament of Adolf Hitler: the Hitler-Bormann documents, February-April 1945. London: Cassell

Some of us just want to know what the truth is. Also, if you know what the answer to metaphysics is, you have the foundation to answer all sorts of other questions. For example, if it turns out all of reality is consciousness, including ourselves, then we are in fact one with everything. What reason should we have to treat other people, animals, plants, ecosystems, and the planet as a whole so poorly?

@Cudin That was a good one! Thanks for sharing. I think Bernardo's going to have another book coming out soon too; I hope he mentions this bit from the article. "In 2015, doctors in Germany reported the extraordinary case of a woman who suffered from what has traditionally been called “multiple personality disorder” and today is known as “dissociative identity disorder” (DID). The woman exhibited a variety of dissociated personalities (“alters”), some of which claimed to be blind. Using EEGs, the doctors were able to ascertain that the brain activity normally associated with sight wasn’t present while a blind alter was in control of the woman’s body, even though her eyes were open. Remarkably, when a sighted alter assumed control, the usual brain activity returned."

@MarkusSweden Hold on, I thought you said were a Stage Greener on one of my posts earlier. Am I just slow and not getting the joke? I wouldn't be surprised; I'm from the South, so you'll have to forgive me .

@John Iverson I’m a Stage Bluer John. What would you like to know?

@Arkandeus Whenever I get like that, I head straight to the gym and get an incredible workout in. Anger is an amazing fuel if you channel it the right way. Us men need an outlet for releasing anger and aggression; it's part of our nature. Just find something safe to do, and go all out (punching bag, batting cage, chopping wood with an axe, shooting range, etc.)

I felt relief more than anything from my first one, but the second one was exactly like hers: (starts at 4:50) How was your first experience? What it dramatic like this one or more subtle?

Y'all seem to have already addressed Peterson's metaphysical concerns, so I'll cover a different topic. Jordan Peterson wants to be a father figure. He understands how a lot of boys and younger men now have been, because of cultural changes in the past 40-50 years, neglected and left directionless in life, and he wants to give them a path to success. He covers a range of topics including IQ, male/female behaviors and drives, Jungian psychology, psychedelics, morality, religious experience, Nietzschean philosophy, and the value of having time-tested principles to live by. I watched a lot of Peterson's content prior to discovering Actualized.org, and I'm very thankful for that. He may not have the depth and level of understanding that Leo has, but he is definitely still one of the "good guys".

I love it when that happens, and apparently, babies can be moved in the same way too:

@Light Lover Go for it. As long as you stay natural, building muscle is one of the best things you can do for your body. The more muscle you gain, the more calories your body will burn at rest. You become less injury-prone, and your strength increases too obviously. If you're looking for visibility though, it's mostly about training the neck, upper back, shoulders, traps, glutes, and forearms. This video might be helpful for you if visibility is your chief goal.

then how did he pull this one off? https://www.rt.com/news/429455-trump-kim-press-talks/

I’m starting to see why Leo doesn’t allow political discussions on his forum; it never ends or gets anywhere. I learned my lesson Leo: no more politics.

Sweden is a fantastic country, but its liberal immigration policies (derived from its higher consciousness values) are sadly bringing about its ruin. http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/02/10/the-death-of-the-most-generous-nation-on-earth-sweden-syria-refugee-europe/ It's tragic to witness really. Are they setting a great example for the rest of the world to follow? Trump has to play politics; it's part of the job. If he feels he has praise or demonstrate some form of respect to leaders of lower consciousness countries, it's probably necessary. It's also not the first time it's ever happened (previous president for example).

I agree with this. Society is an integral part of all of our lives; you cannot separate the two. The more we develop personally, the more this will affect our politics, how we operate within and relate to society, and how we respond to current events.

@p1xelmonk There's plenty of us here, don't worry . @Leo Gura I thought it was a higher consciousness move because it was an act of peace rather than hostility. @ChimpBrain I'm sure deep down he would like to establish stronger relations and even mimic the likes of green/yellow countries such as Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, etc., but it's kind of hard to when they have problems like these:

He's the president and leader of my country; his actions will directly and indirectly affect me and everyone else I know. I'm a huge fan of Leo's content, deep existential insights, and especially his blog, but in all honesty, I find his analysis of Trump as a person to be at best superficial and at worst baseless. As current events have shown, these are not the actions of simply a stage orange or God forbid a stage red leader. I'm not going to even pretend to be enlightened, but there is more to life than just contemplating, taking psychedelics, and meditating all day. We have to live in this world too, and we have to be mindful of the kind of leadership we have. I took a risk with this post I know; but I'm asking in sincerity: Are these the actions of a low consciousness leader?

I selected the artistic sports category, but my real answer is martial arts. Like spirituality, martial arts requires discipline, humility, spontaneity, and the learning of traditional techniques. Also, if any of y'all have ever sparred in a tournament, you know that Zen-like concentration state you can get into. Just a little slice of heaven .
