Waiting for his video on humility 😀

Smarter people however will have more success at the survival aspect which can overall bring them a better level of stability in life. Where less intelligent or mentally unstable people usually have a much harder time with survival and making it through life in a tough economy and dog eat dog world. So from that aspect it can bring you that type of happiness. But the deeper happiness can be obtained by anyone. Material comforts cannot bring the highest level of happiness. Or true happiness. But it can make you more comfortable in general with less financial suffering, etc. Smart is a loaded word though. A lot of other personality traits going into being successful financially. But intelligence helps quite a bit.

I was being funny about the quietly part. You know how in those types of groups anyone who disagrees with the leader suddenly disappears. But if one of us left because of a disagreement with Leo I'm sure he wouldn't try and hide it. He hasn't done so in the past. And on the doomsday cult yes just being able to leave does not negate that there are other qualities that would still classify it as a cult. But that's apples to oranges with regards to the Actualized community. I mean ultimately what you want to call a cult is subjective and relative.. we can just state our opinions and intuitions on the matter. There are forms of mind control and manipulation in the corporate world too....so where are you going to draw the line on what is and isn't a cult. How stringent should it be? To Leo's point if you start watering it down you help the communities that are much more cultish. It's like having the same sentence for a drunk driver that gets a DUI for being in a parking lot vs someone who goes the wrong way and kills a family. Both committed a crime by driving drunk but should both get the same consequences. You would be diminishing the impact on the victims in the second case if there were no contrast between them.

@AtmanIsBrahman very rare.

The question isn't what is God to the agnostic though. Because this first needs to assume God exists. Though ultimately I think I see where you are going. That reality is subjective and not objective. Well to take that a step further one can say that it is neither. As this is stil conceptual, duality, and language. Ultimately on awakening if reality is non-dualistic than there is no self or other -- and so all duality - which includes this conversation, breaks down and falls apart, because there is no "self and other" for which to have this conversation.

Beyond belief vs experience.. Religion is dualistic. It doesn't go any farther than believing or assuming there is a self and then there is this other entity we call God And that's it. It is not an experience which collapses this duality. What they call awakening might be them seeing a vision of Jesus. At the surface level you can both speak of God though and there won't appear to be any difference. I get along great with religious folk. Because God exists.

To me its a pursuit of Truth. And let's face it not everyone is gonna make it with meditation. So psychedelics are emphasized here. I don't agree with Leo on everything. And if this was a cult you and I would probably have been "quietly" dismissed by now. I don't agree that psychedelics can give you a deeper enlightenment than meditation. We differ in that awakening is awakening and it is Absolute. There are not Infinite degrees of awakening. There isn't some crazy alien state you can reach.i do agree however that Consciousness is not human either it is Pure Spirit. The human part is, as we know, this imaginary ego that co-opts Consciousness for itself. So if you look back I've had plenty of arguments with Leo about this stuff. And I'm still here. His work is invaluable if someone actually wants to put in the time. But be careful because you will lose your sanity and you just might not get it back. This is stated. Such is spirituality. It is serious shit. But normies don't understand any of this stuff so to them it appears crazy. Of course. That is how it should be.

Start to learn to go with your gut. Like if your gambling and you tried to make your $$ back and failed. You can intuit it is the wrong thing to stay in the game. You'll feel when it's rifht to cut your losses. At that time it means it is probably time. It works with me for gambling.

I would have had cancer by now.

In that last statement I was being funny. But with regards to Love I believe based on the metaphysical definition I have seen from Leo, than no, there is no need to have Love as a distinct facet. On the other hand if your definition of metaphysical Love is that it is God's unbiased affection for all of it's parts than that is a different story. No pun intended. To me that's the only difference between relative and Absolute Love. In that God, who lacks self or form, also lacks bias - which is where human and Divine Love differ. But it is in fact, still affection. It is an emotion. If you take emotion out than you have no need for this facet. Leo emphasizes Love as a distinct facet, unlike Peter. Yet he fails to define it in a way that in fact makes it distinct. So where they are alike is that both teachers seem to distance themselves from emotion in their definition of Truth.

Yes but it is just One Mind imagining the difference between self and other When this dream ends another begins.

LOL. Not a bad idea regarding CBD. But if you got my point Leo and Ralston aren't that different. Leo's definition of Love is that there is no difference between anything. Ralston says everything is one. So you yell me the difference 🤔 And according to their own teachings they cannot be different 😀😃

This is great advice. HPV is technically an STI not an STD, but guys can't get tested for it yet it about 80% of people get it in their lifetime. Most times it just goes away with no symptoms. But other times it can cause genital warts or cancer later in life. And if youre a guy you don't wanna be a carrier and give it to a girl who could later gets cervical cancer from it.

It's 5 bucks a gallon in the land of Lincoln. (State of IL). This hurts man. End this fucking war! I get that we don't want to get nuked but this is getting ridiculous.

Not disagreeing.

Feel being the key word here.

But there is a definition of Love that everyone wants to tiptoe around because Leo has stated its not feeling or emotion its Unity. No its not Unity. Its what brings about Unity. Which is something else.

But now you run into the issue of no longer needing two words again. Some of you said it is affection for all your parts and a desire for total unity and the merging of all parts into one. But you cannot escape then by describing this facet of Love as Divine feeling, Divine Emotion, Divine affection, and Divine Desire. God's Love for itself and all of it's parts. Its a sexy mofo! The problem i have with those proclaiming reality is Love want to run away from the very qualities of Love and create some mysterious metaphysical definition that doesnt even exist. Perhaps they want to run away from it because they are afraid of what Love actually is.

Consciousness is mysterious - can you describe what it is or are the definitions circular. If Love is a quality of Consciousness - then this is not necessarily disagreeing with Ralston because Love is a part or an aspect of Consciousness. If it is identical but also a facet (2 sides of the coin) the what is that side. I guess you can't really explain either without using circular definitions as other stated it is just via Being that one truly understands. Anyone who has gotten a glimpse of Absolute love please let me know what made it distinct from Consciousness/Being/Unity/Oneness/Infinity for you .

So then it is a fundamental quality of unity not unity itself? Or it is the heart. So what is the heart? Is it feeling, emotion, desire, euphoria, all of these things. Or is it ineffable? find out by awakening. Well then you could say it is Truth. It is God. It is Awakening. If you call it Love notice now your definition of metaphysical Love no longer resembles what the word Love is. So why use it? I am just pondering. I am not asking for an answer unless you want to. So back to unity. What is empty unity vs full unity. If you mean Love is what fills unity and completes it then you can say it is both a facet of unity and the whole of it, depending on perspective. Thats fine. It is a facet of the Absolute but also the whole of it. Just as the finger is the hand. But it can thus be looked at as a distinct facet or the whole. I have been asking what it is as a distinct facet of the Absolute (Oneness). But no one seems to know or want to answer that. Other than saying it is Unity.

Love is other than unity in an actual sense. Unity is unity. That's the whole issue here.

When I think of a cult I think of brainwashing and mind control and manipulation. Because its a way for the leaders of the cult to have power over others and control their minds. With as someone else said, mechanisms to prevent someone from leaving. Here we encourage free thought. If you don't like what's being said here no one is manipulating you to stay here. If you think us saying think for yourself is a mind control technique then I don't know what to tell you..its not the Truth. But the beauty is you don't have to be here if you don't wanna be..and Just for the record, arrogance and/or confidence does not a cult make.

Is there any new material here or is it just the same material newly created?

As of May 12, 2026, President Trump has proposed a temporary suspension of the 18.4 cents-per-gallon federal gas tax (24.4 cents for diesel) to relieve high prices exceeding $4.50/gallon following the Iran war. This proposal requires Congressional approval to take effect.

You kinda said it yourself. It wasn't your priority because there are things of deeper value in life than material success. I am the same way I'm just not as motivated when it comes to material success than I am in discovering what's true. However I find as we get older what does matter is our relationships with others, though when it comes to romantic relationships it becomes increasingly harder to find a mate at a similar level of growth. Though far from impossible. So sometimes i have to be more flexible and that is OK for me. But for now go back to what you do best..don't overthink. Be grateful for your health, and your freedom. You didn't put yourself in jail or the hospital due to your mistakes. So you're not "retarded" 😀 you're quite brilliant actually- just be grateful for what you have. To be conscious of another day. I try to be. @No1Here2c love it bud. Yes we are all the same Being walking the walk. Even the ones who don't share our outlook.
