The Israel ethnic cleansing project began before the Holocaust, from the 1930s it was underway.
The irony is that before Jews were ethnically cleansed from Germany they had already been planning how to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians.

Of course it's not from bad intentions. Self-bias and self-deception mean that people who do the most evil things think they are saving the world from Satan.
The reasons Israelis commit such atrocities is precisely because they think of themselves as the good guys and heroes, without considering that that narrative is a self-deception, which of course, it is.
Thinking of yourself as good is the ultimate moral self-deception. The #1 thing to realize in the domain of morality is that you are not good, you are evil. Without this realization no serous morality is possible. This is exactly what Israelis refuse to do. Everyone is evil. It's just a question of whether you're conscious of it or not. Evil isn't bad intentions, it's good intentions blinded by self-bias.

It will take you many years to understand the profundity of what I said.

Because only a dysfunctional and low consciousness human would be invovled in the porn industry.

Enough of this gaslighting. You guys keep saying this but all you're doing is displaying your own obvious bias by defending this ethnic cleansing project.
Israel's actions are egregious, shameless, criminal, and unconscious to anyone who is objective and serious about understanding reality.

If makes a lot of sense. Finding mates as an introvert is very hard. And women are much more social than men by default, so it's easier for them.
Your problem is that you don't socialize enough, so of course.
The solution is very simple: become much more social.

I am 25. I have had the desire to go out and approach women on the street from the age of 13. The idea occured naturally to me even before I knew of Leo or pickup, but fear, social anxiety and trauma stopped me from doing so.
Finally 1 years ago, I decided it was time to confront my fear and begin. I decided to gradually desensitize myself to the fear by giving out friendly compliments to women on the street in London UK, where I live. Even after resolving to do so, I put it off for weeks.
 
One day my boss called and told me about rumours circulating at work. I tried to hit on too many girls and was getting a reputation for being a 'fuck boy'. The root cause: my workplace was the only way I could meet women, I didn't know how to meet them any other way. That day I decided enough was enough. I would go out and give one compliment to a girl on the street. I resolved not to come home until I had done so.
I walked around outside a university in South London. Many beautiful women walked past me, with each one I told myself 'Too scary. I'll do the next one, the next, the next'. I walked back and forth across this road for 3 hours in a constant state of fear. My legs ached and I wanted to go home, but I had become disgusted with myself. 'NO! I WILL NOT GO HOME UNTIL I DO THIS'.
Finally, I got close to a girl and braced myself to say 'hey I like your outfit'. As I got close, she turned and made eye contact with me. In that moment I was filled with a full fight-or-flight terror. I snapped my eyes away from her and continued walking, saying nothing. But then I felt love for myself - I was dealing with a powerful fear, of course this would be hard. After another 30m of walking, I finally gave out my first ever compliment to a girl on the street. It felt good.
 
Within a few weeks I made a program for myself. I would go out after work 4 times a week and give out 3 compliments. I found this very very challenging. To help, I repurposed a spending tracker app on my phone to track my progress. I did this so I could feel like every interaction I initiated was a win, like it was adding to my experience pool, even if it didn't go well. The scores are ultimately arbitrary, and I have refined them over time, but they have generated some satisfying graphs and statistics. Each type of interaction would earn a different score:
    a compliment would earn £0.15     a comp and a question 0.60     a comp, question and introducing myself 0.90     a number 1.20     an instant date 5.00 etc  
I spent the next 6 months struggling to meet my goal of 3 compliments a day. I went through laziness, hopelessness, shame, anger at myself, hatred for women, hatred for the world, to deep compassion for my shortcomings, to profound gratitude, to feeling like the alpha king of monkeys, to extreme horniness, exhausion, suicidal thoughts, feeling I will be stuck forever, then consoling myself and going out again. I failed many times. I fell off the path many times. I read Convesations with God, tried to use the creative power of my thoughts. I focused on eating and sleeping well, so that I felt good enought to go out and do it. I did 40m a day visualisation. I used breathing techniques. I returned again and again via journalling to my vision, to why I was doing this. It felt like I had to draw upon every resource I had. Such was my fear of just talking to a stranger.
 
One day, I felt really good and ready to move on, to ask a follow up question after the compliment. I sent my friend £250 and told him not to send it back until I recorded myself saying 'excuse me, you look really interesting' to a girl. I walked around for 6h hours before the deadline passed, and I went home feeing utterly broken and ashamed having not done it. He kept the money. I actually woke up in fear multiple times that night, dreaming that I was still in Liverpool St Station trying to get myself to approach.
But two days later I somehow did my first ever honest to god cold approach, at a bookshop in central London. I spoke to this girl with my hands shaking in terror, but she gave me her number. We went on a date a few days later, a few weeks later we had sex. But whatever inspired me to do that cold approach left, and I was back to compliments.
 
About 6 months ago I decided I would get coaching. I searched and found a random coach on youtube. He had about 2k subscribers. I paid him £500 to come out with me for a day. I was earning £1600 a month and living in expensive London so this was a lot of money to me. Even though I didn't think he had much to offer in terms of game, I thought that paying so much and having him there with me would force me to do approaches.
It worked. I did about 15 real cold approaches that day. But I suspect most of my apparent progress during that day was made in the months before.
 
Since that day the doors opened to doing cold approach proper. It still took work to get myself to approach consistently alone, and I still occasionally have trouble getting myself to do it. But it really has become the focus of my life now, zoning in on it, getting better at it. The approaches have gotten less scary the more I have done them (shockingly). This September I did 75. This week I did 30. I have gotten gradually bolder. I approach some girls even when they are sitting down surrounded by people. I have gone on a few instant dates. I have approached a few groups of girls. I have had a handful of sexual encounters ranging from bad but kind of fun, to extremely intimate, hot and magical.
My vision, that I crawled back to week on week over the last year, is beginning to be realized.
That original burning fear has melted away. I still have lots of work before I feel like I can put this chapter of my life behind me. Recently I feel like I have run up against the limits of my 'natural game'. To improve from here it's not going to just be about being less fearful anymore, but changing things about myself; eye contact, being more subtle in my emotional reading of a situation eg when to try and close with a girl, challenging myself to stay in set as long as possible, doing more groups, doing night game.
 
It's confusing, and I am partially writing this to remind myself of how far I have come, and to inspire myself. Despite my occasional lack of faith, deep down I know that given time, persistance, passion, hard work and coming back to my vision again and again, REAL GROWTH IS POSSIBLE.
If you are reading this and are early on in this journey, or thinking of going out on this journey, or you belive (like I did at times) that you are different somehow and this will never work for you, I hope this inspires you to go out and do it. Here are a few tips you may find helpful:
    Come back again and again to why you are doing what you are doing     Ultimately, especially when you are out alone, it does come down to just choosing to do that approach, in the moment, despite all the fear and panic. There is no way out of that or around that. No visualisation or meditation or anything will change that     Failure to complete your goals for that day or week is fine. Just pick yourself back up and go do it tomorrow     It is more work that you could possibly imagine. But each step towards your vision is itself extremely rewarding     If you struggle with approach anxiety GET IN-PERSON COACHING (or go to a bootcamp) It is well worth the £500 or even £1000. The money you spend will hold you accountable, you will want to make sure you spent it well. If you are putting this off, consider: you may know deep down that you will have to confront your fear once you get coached, and that's the true reason you don't want it     Get a wing via Leo's telegram worldwide wingman thing. The pickup groupchats themselves are a toxic hellscape, but you can just meet people from them irl till you find a good wing then never look at them again    Consider repurposing a spending tracker as a point counter as I did. It's kind a mental idea I know, but if your mind works anything like mine you'll love it The rest of the lessons I'm sure you'll learn yourself as you do it
Much love and godspeed!

I exhausted most of the basic self-help and spirituality material so I started going more technical now with history, politics, sociology, etc.
It takes till like age 40 to really know yourself.

My fave topic is truth.
If Zionists wanna use violence and do ethnic cleansing, that's fine, but don't obfuscate about it, with moral grandstanding. The issue is that Zionists refuse to admit the relativity of the issue, they claim moral absolutes and high ground for themselves, and do the crocodile tears as soon as they get a taste of their own medicine.
If you wanna plead survival, fine. Then Oct 7th was also survival. And so was Hitler.
The problem is this: survival for me but not for thee.
My function here is to point out such biases.

The reason I mentioned terrorism is because Israelis love calling others terrorists.
Do you see the double-standard of calling Palestinian leaders terrorists for trying to create a state for themselves but then saying it's "out of context" to call Israeli leaders terrorists?
If terrorism was okay to found Israel, why is it not okay to found Palestine?
Terrorism is a tool to found a state.

Ben-Gurion terrorized, killed, and ethncially cleansed 500,000+ Palestinians. He personally ordered terrorism and extermination of Palestinian villages. And he was thrilled with the results.
He never had any intentions of respecting the UN partion plan or borders, calculating to take more and more Palestinian land.
That is who founded your country. A terrorist.

That doesn't work because the major terrorist Arab leaders are doing their acts in order to help Palestine gain statehood.
Are you okay with 9/11 being considered a thing they did to acheive a higher goal?
No.
The problem is that in the West, terrorism has become a Western propaganda term which means "unjustified violence", but of course this is a deeply biased and ethnocentic definiton because terrorism has always been done as a means towards a greater good, like fighting unjust oppressors and establishing national sovereignty. The problem with the West's framing of terrorism is that terrorism IS justified in the minds of those who do it. The West is shocked to learn this fact. But that's only because the West has been so self-absorbed as to not care would the needs of those it oppresses.
The game here is to oppress the hell out of the 3rd world and ignore their feelings until they finally lash out in anger, then slap the terrorist label on them so that all of their greivances can be ignored.
It's an abuse and gaslight strategy. Very psychologically devious.

This is a thread where we can post news about the Isreal and Palestine conflict. I am aware there is another thread but I don’t like the OP being biased and it’s already full of arguments.

Awakening is not an escape from mind, it's the realization that mind is actually Mind. It's the absolutizing of Mind.
You don't need phenomena to be mind independent, you just need to realize that phenomena are absolutely mind dependent.
Awakening is the realization of the absoluteness of consciousness. Absoluteness of consciousness is that one thing you cannot be wrong about. And it's not knowledge. Awakening is beyond knowledge, it is a state of consciousness.
With that said, there are still many degrees of awakening and more you can realize.
You are right to realize that knowledge isn't definitive, it is relative, partial, and highly fallible. But knowledge ain't all there is. So you must seek beyond knowledge.

Insight is deeper than you give it credit for. You are assuming you understand what insight is, which is not a safe assumption.
Consciousnes is even more fundamental than insight, although insight is more fundamental the knowledge.
Insight is an aspect of Awakening but not the whole of it. Awakened consciousness is the basis for the insight of awakening. Consciousness awakens first, then insight catches up, or it could work the other way too.
Awakening comes with insight but it's the same as insight.
How is anything possible?

Look at it like this:
Is color knowledge? Is color insight?
No. Color is more fundamental than both. So clearly we got some very fundamental stuff going on even without any crazy mystical mumbo-jumbo.

PM is more correct than say a religious fundamentalist who reads the Bible literally and thinks his interpretation is the only objectively valid one.
Or a scientist who thinks that science is the best and most objective way to see reality.
That's what PM is pointing out as a mistake.

Hate is just a twisted form of love.

The key insight here is this:
There was nothing special about Hitler that made him evil. Hitler was just a far right ultra-nationalist, and when nationalism gets taken too far it turns into ethnic cleansing and genocide. It makes no difference what ethnicity or nationality the people are.
The problem I see is that many Israelis want to claim a monopoly on being victims of genocide, but genocide is quite a common phenomenon that has nothing to do with your specific ethnic identity. Genocide can happen by any group against any other group, all under the rationale of self-defense.
The lesson of the Holocaust should not be learned too narrowly. The lesson of the Holocaust in not that Jews need to be protected at all costs. The lesson is that ethnic cleansing can happen to anyone by anyone if nationalism is allowed to get out of control.
When the Holocaust is turned into part of one's identity, it leads to the same problems that any finite identity fixation can lead to. By making the Holocaust part of one's identity it limits the mind's ability to be unbiased and sensitive to the ethnic cleansing that one's own tribe might be participating in.
It's the same problem as American Exceptionalism, which is used to justify America's bad behavior abroad. America is not above devilry. Neither is Israel. Devilry is not a rare exception, it is the default condition of mankind.

At this point, no. It's all just pure intuition for me now. I rapidly flip through videos, websites, news, books, audio books, speeches, podcasts -- and rapidly and intuitively sort the crap from the gold. It's all about finding the gold in a ocean of crap.
I used to hold books and people in high regard. Now I just pick through their bones like a vulture looking for the organ meat. If I see no organ meat I fly off to the next carcass.

To solidify watching documentaries I have downloaded a cool app: World Map Quiz
It really helps to get a solid grasp of the earth's geography, countries, rivers...
I was astonished about my ignorance. I find it a show of respect and love for humanity to know all the countries in the world.

Of course beauty is beyond physical. But physical is a major aspect of it.
Feminine is beautiful not only in appearance but also in behavior.
Of course women are highly attracted to strong-looking men. But strength is less about physical appearance than beauty is. So it's asymmetrical. A man needs looks from a woman more than a woman needs looks from a man. A man's value is not in flapping his eyelashes and looking beautiful. A man's value is in going out and killing a bear with a fork.

A quick thought that just occurred to me.
It almost seems to be a sport today to criticize and demonize everything about the government that we live under. In the minds of most, there is always something wrong, there's always bad people doing bad things, there's always corruption and scandals...
And whilst many of these things may actually be factually true and whilst there are some serious issues and concerns that need to be dealt with, we do completely ignore everything that out government has brought to us.
Our government is (at least partially) responsible for pretty much all the infrastructure that we have today that results in the comfort that we can live in today. But we just take it for granted...
Think about roads. Think about the sewage system. Think about electricity. Think about Social services. Think about Health care. Think about fresh water. Think about Gas. Think about the building that you live in. Think about the internet. 
Even all the items that you own are in part made possible by our government, because of all the infrastructure and services that I just listed above. It's all connected.
Yet all we tend to do is to complain about what is we DON'T have and about what's NOT good, rather than to see what we do have and the immense value that our government IS providing (even though it's not perfect).
So I think we all should take a step back and reflect upon the fact that all the comfort we have today and (almost) everything we derive a lot of value out of today is in part made possible by the government that we live under.

You guys have really wrong ideas about me on sex. I sacrificed a lot of sex to create Actualized.org and do my work. Sex, relationships, family, kids, socialization, friends -- I renounced much of that to stay truthful.
If I talk about sex, it's because I'm not having it, not because I'm having it.
Any normal person has more sex than me. Yet you guys assume I'm some sex fiend.
I've lost girlfriends simply from sticking to truth and higher values.
I have an ex-girlfriend right now who keeps inviting me to fly over and have sex with her. And I say NO, because it isn't truthful. Any normal guy would be flying over there. Instead I'm here alone studying the psychology of Islamist terrorists.

It is a biased love.
Human life is all about bias. Survival results in biased expressions of consciousness. Just like when, for example, fundamentalist Islamists feel that their religion is absolute and superior, they are being very biased. So human love is like that. A human twists and steals God's Love to love in a biased way that serves survival of the ego.
If God says, I love X Y Z, a human takes that, twists it, and cherrypicks it to mean, I love Y but hate X and Z. In this way there can be a human who loves X, another who loves Y, and another who loves Z. And they all feel they are absolutely right, since EVERYTHING is Love and metaphysically the differences between X Y Z are imaginary.
Anything a human loves he's right about. But he's missing everything else he doesn't love.
It's like you are given a multiple choice test question where the answer is E: All The Above, but you only selected A. Your answer isn't wrong, but it is very limited and misses the bigger picture.
