The cat and the yarn theory The more you try to untangle the yarn, the more you get caught up into it and it tangles you. The more you think you're closer to solving a puzzle, a mystery, a loop, a system, the more harm you are causing to yourself without realizing how its tangling you and you go deeper and deeper into its pit only to know that you are better off if you stay away from it. Ever had such a feeling? That's the Mindbergh

I think your fears of a third world country are imagined fears. I've personally never seen an American struggle in the city I live in, in fact they are treated above native citizens. I haven't personally lived in the Himalayas but it would be really cool, as of now I can't afford it, I'm sure the prices won't be low there. And I can't imagine living in a cave because I am not used to it. The second thing is that nature is the same everywhere, it's only that the western media always has to put a divine spin or exotic spin over something that is Asian, probably this is a cheap tourist attraction technique or because they find it super cheap so they have to find ways to exemplify their journeys to Eastern countries to a divine status, just to feel like they made it to the ethereal Lala land. It's just imaginary shit. Nature doesn't discriminate. It's not like the mountains in other countries are less peaceful than the Himalayas. And if you are worried about getting caught in third world country politics and social structure then understand that living in one won't help much with your spiritual journey, in fact it will reverse the benefits you are trying to attain. The ability to connect with nature is everywhere. That's why I created my journal called the ability to connect with nature because I wanted to find my own ways of connecting with nature in whatever way I can. I can't survive in nature, that's why I will have to keep working, keep doing my job to feed myself. I don't have the luxury to create my own life in the remote jungle or a mountain side. You don't need to leave your country in order to experience nature. The earth is everywhere. You could buy a ranch or a big patch of land, probably in the outbacks where it's greener and have your own life in peace. Nobody is gonna bother you there. And if this is your true purpose, then go for it, there will be challenges to that kind of living because it doesn't have the ready-made comforts of city life. I wouldn't call living in a remote place as Stage Purple because it's like saying I became a child because I went to Disney or I am a doctor because I am wearing an apron and stethoscope. You know what I mean. It's the aesthetic part you're clinging to.. like donning a role that you must play a certain way. It's like I need to play the role in a period drama so I immediately change the curtains and buy myself a gown and hat and change the interiors to suit that Era. It does nothing to my soul, it only changes the exterior. You can't be stage Purple (if that's your goal) by simply copying the lifestyle of some guru you came across. The change has to be from within also. It wouldn't suit for me to play the role of a Texan ranch owner without the Texan accent. It's not just the exterior but also the " inner," for this you need to switch your thinking and consciousness to stage purple and that's a lot of effort, hard work, beating ego resistance, basically it means true spiritual shit. Doing the actual "off the grid" work. I can't become Dalai Lama by simply wearing what he wears and eating what he eats. I need to be his mind also. You need to be deeply involved in your spiritual growth. For that you won't need the Himalayas.. You can do inner work which is mostly you changing and working on your consciousness and then adjust your life to your needs and pursuits by living in your own country and creating your own world. You're thinking that living in your country is not that great or appealing because your mind is fixated on the exotic appeal of the Himalayas. Notice that this is also a desire.... "I want that, I want that, I only want that and only that"..... It's like the inner child saying I want a pecan pie but I only want Texas grown pecans. When you will focus your awareness on this unnecessary desire of you fantasizing living in a distant exotic land you will see it just as fruitless as other desires. Focus more on inner work, obviously you can tune your lifestyle needs to match the life you want but it can be done in your home country as well. Remember that the earth is the same everywhere, America, Australia, India, China or Japan, it's the same everywhere. Your ability to connect with nature depends more on you and what you find closest to you.. Best wishes on your journey.

Planning to create an annual celebration for Actualized.org. Who is with me on this? On April 11 every year we can celebrate the Official Annual Appreciation Day for Actualized.org where we pay thanks and appreciation for all our Moderators and Leo Gura for all that they do for us. What do you think? Wouldn't this be a great way to celebrate Actualized.org and its achievements and journey year after year? Give a thumbs up in the comments if you would want such a day for Actualized.org. I already made a card for the annual celebration. Have a look

For @Serotoninluv

I'm so glad you did it. It's the right thing to do. When you find a toxic partner, ex partner at a place, the best thing is to leave the place for good. It's not worth your life or time. You can always return to the same place at some point in the future when the toxic presence has left the place.

@Meta-Man thanks

I just find language and forming toughts and ideas, arguing, criticism is not a efficient form, and not the only one. I just want to entertain sielence more. I feel like i wanted to share this if i go soon. Thank you Leo, the Actualized.org forum staff! I am planning the same thing and had this same thought over the last week. You've been such a wonderful person. I had great conversations with you on the forum. I kinda resonate with your sentiment. This forum is a good place but it has it's downsides. It's the people(only some) . Leo and mods are doing a great job. But I can't keep arguing with someone everyday. And there are lots of people who send rude messages. "I just find language and forming toughts and ideas, arguing, criticism is not a efficient form, and not the only one. I just want to entertain sielence more." I had a similar thought and experience. I am not on the forum for unnecessary arguments and "judgemental" criticism. It halts my progress and growth. You can't talk to people who are biased against you all the time. The problem is kinda inherent. Everyone has to be pleased all the time which is the hardest thing to do. Something that is being said is always taken out of context and it is used as a means for ad hominem attacks. That's a very low conscious way to debate an opinion. There is a problem of constant judgement and shaming. Not that it's not going to happen elsewhere, but the kind of people that are attracted to the forum are sometimes the ones just looking to get a rise out of someone who is probably here for serious self development work. Those specific people only create drama and conflict and attacking each other just to get a thrill. This forum becomes their entertainment pasture. Don't like that part. I am not here for popcorn and drama. I get little time to even start a thread let alone sit hours arguing with someone just on the purpose of the thread. Some of the core issues I found on the forum created by these specific people Thread derailing Trashing the thread Continuously arguing even when told to stop Ad hominem attacks Trolling Tendency to provoke or trigger a fight with someone they are biased against The focus is more on the original poster rather than the content of the thread creating bias The problem is they make everything personal. They turn it into "you versus the other person" as though it's a fighting match and someone has to win. And the other worst part is the Labeling. I'm not here to be called labels. They are similar to name calling. This is not a place to decide "who is good" and "who is bad," I wish some people could drop the need for character assassination. It corners people making them more vulnerable to hate and attacks from others. So yea, I'll be taking a similar route and quit the forum at some point. I still have some threads that I need to respond to but after that I'll be done for good. Best wishes to you on your life journey. ❤️

Men lovin to flirtin ???

This lovely natural music. It brings me closer to my soulmate.

You are welcome.

The worth of the goods is already accounted for. The bill has been returned back during the transaction. But an additional $30 given for a false transaction. So a net total of $100.

The thing is he takes a $100 bill but has to return it at the time of buying. The bill is back in its original place. But instead of the bill goods worth 70$ are with the thief along with the change of $30..a total profit of $ 100 to the thief and the same loss for the owner. In every situation it will be $100 only since the buyer or thief doesn't wish to spend his own money but utilizes the money he stole. So only $100 is exchanged each time one way or another.

The thief could have made the same profit by buying (basically stealing)$ 100 worth goods.

$100 loss to the store owner.

Forgot to add 1 more moderator. Hey much love and appreciation for Our Moderator @cetus56 You're awesome and take great care of the forum. Appreciate your hard work.

Wow, thank you so much Anna All light and love ❤️❤️

Yea. It's April 11. We can celebrate April 11 every year as the official Annual Appreciation Day for Actualized.org. Won't that be cool? Who is with me on creating this annual day?
