  1. How do you reconcile handling everyday finances while maintaining your connection to developing yourself deeper & still reflecting inward?

    I'm currently 25 years old and this year I realized the necessity of financial planning as I've been caught in a trap of living pay check to pay check for a couple of years. 

    Over the past few months I've been studying all I can about finances, learning about investing, budgeting, planning for retirement etc.

    This is great and all, but I find I get sucked into thinking about this stuff for hours a day. I fear that I will spend a huge amount of my life highly concerned with obsessing over how much I'm saving, budgeting and investing, ultimately taking me away from my focus on spirituality.


    Has anyone got any thoughts or want to share any experiences on growing your finances, business or savings while maintaining a life which still revolves around spirituality and consciousness?


  2. I think an important part of growing in consciousness is becoming more and more aware of how incredible the creatures are on planet earth. 

    Kids are fascinated by animals but it seems most adults become too caught up in their own business to stop and admire how incredible the creatures are in the world around them. 

    I especially think sea creatures are the most overlooked for their coolness. 

    Post your own favourite magnificent creatures below!

  3. Check out this show. I literally introduced my partner to it who has no interest in spirituality, and was able to talk about these topics after she had watched it.

    The last episode is a tear jerker. This show is insanely weird, whacky and incredibly creative.

    On a final note, I am amazed by the fact that If I had been born with a XX chromosome instead of the XY chromosome, this would be the experience of dating I would have.

     

    See this was a valid, interesting experiment. A lot of people who completely buy into The Red Pill content, take what you just said as an ideology of how evil women supposedly are. 


  5. Lol he just equated a woman who has had sex with many guys as a snotty tissue. He will probably just double down on his new regressive beliefs and believe everybody is just blinded and can't see what he sees or something. 

    The saddest thing is Elliott's old videos helped me so damn much. He kickstarted my actualized journey. Most young men I meet who have watched his videos from 5 or 6 years ago are at Stage Green now which is cool.

    There is truth in what he's saying.

    The masculine core grows through challenges, life purpose, self-sacrifice, presence and centeredness. The Feminine (the world) is always testing the masculine. Anytime you lose touch with groundedness and presence, you have tapped into your feminine.  These are the two polarities consciousness manifests as. Although they are imaginary, those forces are incredibly powerful.

    The feminine is appearance, change, and flow. The ultimate masculine gives himself up to the world, surrenders his Ego, and achieves freedom -Enlightenment. Masculine men feel most alive, and at their core, through hardship and challenges.

    Inspired by "The Way of the Superior Man" by David Deida.

    Yeah, these are very powerful ideas but I don't think David Deida has ever said as a man you must cut yourself off from your feminine nature. 


  7. Elliott Hulse truly did inspire a lot of young men at one moment in time, but he truly has doubled down on the whole bro-sphere, anti-political correctness & right-wing conservatism. 

    I think he's an interesting case study of some one who was almost getting to a solidly green level of Spiral Dynamics (see his hippie phase) but has regressed back to some stage blue + stage orange ideals.

    I hope Leo will pay attn to this. it's just the sort of thing that can snowball. look what happened to dr. Tim leary or Willhelm Reich (really, I mean it if you don't know your history go watch some documentaries - or youtube vids about them !). I'm knot just paranoid here. the empire never ended and the wich hunters are still here.

    Yeah I mean a few poorly written articles talking about "the dangers of Youtube cults" with Actualized.org as the central story could be incredibly inconvenient for Leo. Leo's response in the past on this forum has been "I don't do cults" then went on to say if you create a cult out of Actualized.org it is your own mind's doing, which is a good response but I don't think most people would fully understand what he means by "your mind is what is creating the cult". 


  9. It's incredible how powerful the mainstream media is in shaping the general public's views of candidates and positions. I feel that if every American understood that Bernie Sanders is trying to provide a single payer-health care system and that they wouldn't have to spend so much on private health insurance they would realize that Sanders is on their side. 

    The same thing happens in Australia, the conservative government tries to privatize trade schools, increase university fees and weaken the countries already existing medicare and the working class votes the party in! Literally voting against their own interests due to misrepresentation of ideas and fear mongering that the economy will somehow crash under left-wing governance.

    Come on man this is actualized.org, Paul Joseph Watson is a joke. 

    It is a myth that the Australian bushfires were largely caused by arsonists, it was actually a very small amount of people who had been caught starting small fires, the majority of the people charged were with very minor offences like doing an action which could cause a fire as the states called for total fire bans. The latest BBC UK report highlights this.

     

     


  11. As a young Australian I just want to let you know that in my experience mainly only the older generations denies climate change, with many of them believing that the government was just trying to find a new way to tax them. Our centre-left government introduced a carbon-tax which was then revoked by the right wing party which currently is in power. 

    Our more left wing party the LABOR government who had a very focused climate change policy and were committed to reducing emissions were so close to being elected only a few months ago, but ended up being beaten by voters from a state of Australia which are known to commonly vote right wing. 

    Young people are very angry as we are seeing things develop in a very backwards manner, as we still need to continue to fight to keep the right wing from dismantling our healthcare, public education funding has been cut, university fees are on the rise, environmental protection funding has been cut and climate change is still being actively denied by some members of the right wing party (luckily not all as mentioned above). 

    I also just want to throw this out there, Australia in my experience sometimes has a culture of anti-intellectualism. If you act too smart or attempt to become successful many Australians will think you are trying to out-do them and criticise you.
