All I can say is this much. No I'm not trying to judge but if I have a thought or even the slightest doubt then it's impossible for me to look at something objectively. This is just how the mind works. If you knew that someone has a criminal record, you wouldn't be sure to welcome them in your home. Just how human brain works. Can't blame it Like I said he may or may not have good intentions. But he is at most a sketchy character in my book. Because a lot of things about him remain unexplained. To me whenever I watch his interviews I can best summarize how I feel about him in these ways. I mean this is what I think his response always looks like. - - - your suffering is not relevant in my picture. But my suffering is relevant to me. So I'll work towards reducing my suffering at the expense of your suffering

You have to understand the dynamics. He is too rich to silence everyone. Suddenly the articles that existed back in 2014 have disappeared. But this is one here. I can't say it as a total fact. But there was controversy regarding his vaccine trials on poor children. https://thegoodnewstoday.org/bill-gates-faces-trial-in-india-for-illegally-testing-tribal-children-with-vaccines/

There lies the problem of problems. There is no perfection, there are no perfect questions and no perfect answers. And therefore the world will never be perfect. Expecting the world to be perfect is an illusion of the mind, a trick of the mind, a distraction from love. Let the world rest. Accept it's imperfections. Do the good that you can in the good ways that you can. Be a light to the world. You can lead the way but you cannot lead the horse

It has nothing to do with me being from India. It would still matter even if I weren't Indian. You are too quick at projecting. Nobody really reserves the right to decide how the model of the world should be. That was the point I was trying to make. I understand that overpopulation is a big problem. But can I impose my will on the world? Absolutely not. If you clearly watch Bill Gates interviews he is very imposing on this topic, very authoritarian. He can't play God. Like I said he can only suggest that something needs to be done. But he cannot endorse projects in that direction. That's against humanity or human rights. For example, his vaccine experimentation in India and Africa caused many kids to die and suffer horrific defects. So not everything is picture perfect. It's one thing to say that global overpopulation is a problem to the climate and another thing to propose and enforce and experiment systems as a solution to the said problem. To me that's unethical. I was trying to make a point.

True that Thank you so much for sharing. I was going to write the journey of the heart post in my journal. I'll add this to it. The post is still in draft stages. In my opinion the heart has the greatest vibration and its the Epicenter. Cheers. The Egyptians were really clever people. They left the heart in the body. They knew it was the most important part of the human body. I'll do that exercise. Thanks once again.

Being rich means nothing. There's a huge wealth disparity in the world. There are tons of people who work very hard and get paid peanuts. It's all about demand and supply. People have become rich by selling drugs too. Bill Gates got rich because computers were in big demand that time. He capitalized on public demand like any greedy opportunistic carpet seller or car salesman. Nothing charismatic about it. And he doesn't give a shit about 20 year olds on the internet. Don't be so dismissive of people. People have power. The same people can create groups and order petitions against him if enough people group together. So it's not to be easily dismissed. If he doesn't care about public opinions about him, people shouldn't need to care about what comes out of his mouth. I understand that he may (or may not) have good intentions behind his theories and actions. But being rich does not exclude him from public scrutiny. Also he can't play God. He can only suggest models for the world but cannot impose or enforce them with his billions. People 's voices will always be stronger than any amount of wealth in the world.

He acts like he cares. He has valid points like diseases need to be controlled or eradicated. But there is a huge reminder. His father was involved in Planned Parenthood. Bill Gates has been a huge fan of depopulation. I understand that he thinks that the world cannot handle a huge population. But the reason why Bill Gates wants women to be educated is not because he wants people to be aware and happy but because he wants the population to be lowered. He knows that financial dependency in poor countries is the main reason for a huge population so he wants the women to be independent for that purpose. He is like a scientist in a laboratory looking for ways to depopulate the globe but he put a philanthropic spin on his solution and offered it as a deed of charity to the masses. It basically means he doesn't care if people die. To him it appears as a success of his laboratory experiments.

A big heart for him. He is awesome.

I should do this for next Easter

Yesss. Melts my mouth

Never did a video calm me down so much

@diamondpenguin what if someone doesn't want to be a part of it? Can't their needs be accommodated?

@electroBeam I have a particular doubt. You mentioned about your interest in both nature and the occult. Occult can mean different things to different people. What does it mean to you? What exactly are you looking for in the occult world and how do you decide to go about with it?

Nice

You're doing awesome. In my opinion cars are the worst invention. It's a blessing but a curse in disguise. We can do away with the need of transportation. We can create super smooth systems where transportation is minimum like work from home or makeshift office close to home so you just walk, this would need some ultra designed infrastructure but it's possible. These days a lot can be done online. If we can get rid of paperwork we can also get rid of the need to travel and limit travel to the closet places only by walk or cycle. Use a solar powered small vehicle in case of needing transport. And fuel based car or transport can be limited for hospital emergencies.. This coronavirus has already caused a lot of people to work from home which is possible. It shows that we can make the system more flexible and attuned to nature. Even small canals can be constructed like small swimming pools that actually ferry people through boats from one place to another. The water is excellent way to travel because it's a natural source of energy, the flow of water can be easily used to slide by simply using manual strength, no need of fuel or battery. Back in those days, old civilizations used bamboo papyrus boats for short travels from shore to shore. Imagine if you went home on a papyrus boat!! It's that simple. It might look a bit absurd but that's only because we aren't used to doing things differently.

You're right. It's a trick of distraction and it takes time to realize how much time gets wasted in dealing with people trying to step on you to prove they're superior. That's a good suggestion Eventually good people gonna leave if bullshitters aren't going to be care of. Just the truth.

You nailed it!

@electroBeam do you live in Australia? Just curious. I don't mind if you don't wish to answer. But if you do live in Australia, that's such an amazing place and so close to nature on all sides. I mean it's like heaven there. They have all the wonderful animals and bird and mountains and shores.. I'll include some Aussie animals and birds in my journal. They are too cute.

I mean people who call you racist and feminist and all those labels. Even when all you are doing is trying to explain a point. But they take something out of context and attack you so that you end up with warning points. Nothing really can be done about that. I mean you get embroiled in their stupid drama and lose focus of the topic. Now who wants that shit??? Just being honest. There's only so much a person can take. (I mean you don't come here for stupid accusations) (Instigators are sadly allowed on the forum. Before taking a break, Leo talked about Purging bullshitters. Where's Leo at? Has the Purging stopped suddenly? The problem with Purging is that you can't purge each and every bullshitter. It's tough. You could end up losing a large chunk of forum visitors. I get that. But good people on the forum have to constantly deal with these bullshitters and that's getting annoying now, I don't want them to get warning points or ban but a small message stating them to put some control on their behavior might help. Or else this forum is going to turn into a large pit of arguments arguments arguments no growth. Just letting my heart out about it all. Don't take personal) Plus I don't want to be a burden to the moderators. They're already doing a great job unpaid. So it won't be fair if I bug them about so and so troll day in day out. Its like I'll become a thorn in their side. I don't want that either. I respect moderators too much to bug them ever. So yea there are inherent problems that are tough to solve. Hopefully there will be ways to deal with things. I hope all the best to everyone. <no more replying to this topic. I'm done saying/purging whatever I wanted >

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.
