@Joseph Maynor Leo already had an answer for that, too. In his video about criticism, he said constructive criticism is feedback and you want to receive feedback but ignore criticism.

Not Leo. He's a different person.

Hey, this is Leo for actualized.org. Critics feel productive when they criticise others. They want to feel productive while being lazy. Criticism makes you feel productive even when you are lazy. Criticism is a way to distract oneself from working. Leo already had answers for you. You just needed to look harder.

If I am really God, I would have some power to bend illusion and reality.

He said illusion is the only reality there is.

@Preetom Leo said illusion exists.

On one day, do self-inquiry. On another day, watch your hand. Focus on one on a specific day.

@Joseph Maynor If you're God awareness, where is God's power to bend illusion? Did you lose power a long time ago?

I already have something like weekly accountability report. I think I can implement weekly progress report by attaching it to weekly accountability report. I think you should simplify things a bit. To me, the weekly goal list is the weekly accountability report because the list is a checklist. The weekly progress report would be just a paragraph or two next to the weekly goal list.

What is this? Does weekly progress report not make you accountable?

No human is perfect. Leo has flaws. TJ has flaws. I have flaws. If Leo was perfect, he would be levitating effortlessly right now.

Is Leo not a devil? Is anyone not a devil on this forum? It's painful to admit that I'm a devil. I'd rather live and prosper than wither and die. I like self-help because I like to help myself. I'm going to help myself.

@Joseph Maynor I asked most of those questions myself, but I didn't go deep. I have been focusing on mastering Beige.

Is wanting ego death like wanting suicide? Does it mean Leo wants to commit (internal) suicide and wants others to see him do it? I think being dead and alive at the same time is cool.

This video says so. Is it that simple? I was already aware of my own awareness. Does it mean I had been already enlightened? Am I the light that shines light on experiences including thoughts and feelings? The light is already enlightened? What I need to do is just allow awareness to come to the foreground rather than thoughts, feelings, and raw experiences?

NoFap increases brain's sensitivity to testosterone. Ejaculation decreases it.

Do you suggest that Leo's claim is a counter-productive Stage Blue talk? He once said Trump is a devil because he is deliberately selfish due to lack of awareness of his own selfishness.

Success for me is Financial security Autonomy Self Control Excellence Mastery By the way, I can see typos in your sentences. Either, your keyboard is dying, and you need a new keyboard Or, you need to work on your Beige concerns by going to sleep.

@pluto Oh, you're talking about spiritual realm. Can you get the address of one of them for us? I want to meet them.

@Serotoninluv What about achieving success in one's niches? Do you have recommendations for that? You plowed through decades of hard work to obtain tenure which gives you wiggle room. You know what it takes to achieve something big.

NoFap increases the level of testosterone which is necessary for accomplishments. However, if you don't masturbate, you have two options. Wet your underwear someday Or, have sex with someone before you do

@Serotoninluv I am feeling that I may be putting the cart before the horse by focusing too much on enlightenment before building up fundamentals. Building up fundamentals means eating right, sleeping right, breathing right, and so on. I want to become a functional human being before seriously pursuing enlightenment. I think TJ Reeves' take on spiral dynamics is useful. He sees lower stages of spiral dynamics as foundations for the higher stages. For example, you master Beige by eating right, sleeping right, and so on. You master Purple by making at least 5 good friends, improving your relationships with your family, and nurturing your tribe. You master Red by developing motivation and drive. If you get C- on Beige, you need to work on Beige again until you get A+ on Beige. This means you need to work on your sleeping pattern before working on higher stuff.

I'm think I'm kind of aware of enlightenment at the moment. I feel that consciousness is not rational. I feel that it's thoughts that are rational. Consciousness is aware of supposedly rational thoughts. Something like trans-rational knowledge would make more sense than trans-rational consciousness. If what I'm experiencing is enlightenment, enlightenment doesn't really change much in the short term.

I tried this, and visualization became very fun. It became far easier to feel emotions during visualization after watching images. I watched images, closed my eyes, and visualized. If the image faded, I would open my eyes again, watch the images again, and close my eyes again to resume visualization. I'm going to prepare more images for future visualization sessions. Right. Thanks for reminding me of visualizing in the positive side.
