But why though? Why do you want to know god for certain, not just as belief or suspicion? I don't buy the "because it's the meaning of life". Where have you gotten that idea from?

@AndylizedAAY Why do you want awakening?

Not really anyone to accept anything. More like observe present as it is. The Four Noble Truths are about acknowledging that there is suffering and choosing to take the path of liberation. If that's not taking responsibility, I don't know what is. Power over others is not what buddhists mean by ego. Ego is thought-attachment and the belief in separate self(s). Also, not the source of evil but the source of suffering and ignorance. The separate self and the world, like Buddha famously said, is suffering. It might seem like fun times for some but it really isn't for anyone. It's just coped with, swept under the rug and suppressed until it gets unbearable. And then the Four Truths and the Path starts to make hella sense.

For anyone interested and looking to feel better and liberate, what Leo has said in this thread is complete nonsense, ignorance, misinformation and just generally so misleading and confused I really recommend you to take pause and explore what your intuition and gut is saying. If you're feeling that something is off, and you want to gain clarity, take time off of all Actualized.org content at least for a few months. I did so myself and it is blatantly clear I was fed misinfo and lies. You don't need Leo or anything he says for your completeness. You could as well be listening to a fundamentalist pastor preaching Christian dogma. Listen to how you feel. Acknowledge the suffering. You are already whole and complete. There is nothing you need to do or to become.

lolz

1 on 1 guidance sessions.

Enlightenment is not a state of consciousness. Enlightenment is consciousness. No-one becomes awakened, no-one becomes conscious of truth. Yeah, cause your awakenings and realizations are thought-stories, thought-attachment. ? Also, are you open to acknowledge how you're really feeling in every moment? Are you open to acknowledge suffering? Everyone is waiting for eternity but the Shaman asks: "how about today?"

How'd you come to this conclusion? ? Sometimes we're so deep in the hamster wheel that everything is starting to look like a wheel. What I'm talking about here is the endless conceptualization and thought-attachment, especially rampant on this forum. Hopping out the wheel is to let go the beliefs and tasting true liberation and Rest.

I was saying yeah, you're right. ?

Yeah. "Understanding is under standing."

When you get tired of the hamster wheel of conceptualization and suffering, and want to taste true liberation, the path is clear.

This forum. Spirituality and the path is deeply distorted here. It's nothing like the true path and message. Very misleading, very confusing.

Yeah, paying money is a form of conscious intent and focus. Did you start feeling something immediately after paying? ?

So I've been doing Kriya Pranayama for a few days now. Basic breathing meditation is too frustrating to me because of a super active and chaotic mind. But Kriya Pranayama seems to be working very well. It's super powerful and more fun to do. In fact, it seems to be so potent that I want to be sure I'm not doing anything potentially harmful. The thing is, I'm not following the instructions very strictly. I'm doing the "classic" version, without the Oms, and I'm doing it for ten minutes rather than a specific number of breaths. Also, I'm letting the energy and visualization go quite intuitively and naturally. For example, sometimes at the root I might feel like letting the energy flow outside the body, rather than staying strictly within the spine. I'm not doing any other yoga or meditation technique along with it. Do you think going offroad following my intuition can be harmful? Do you have any advice regarding potent meditation/energy visualization?

Why don't you want to masturbate?

Well yeah, the institutional marriage is in a sense outdated. Though I want to get married in a personal way, I'd like to have a ceremony and some kind of ritual as a meaningful expression of love & a shared life and future.

Holding beliefs about solipsism and projecting authority onto others (in this case, probably Leo) even though it feels horrible, is in a sense avoidance of truth. "A you who avoids / fears truth or solipsism" is not. There is really no such thing as avoidance of truth. Do you really know what is truth? If not, how could you know if you avoid it or not? There is avoidance of emotional guidance though. You know thoughts and beliefs about solipsism feel shit, but you still keep thinking / believing those thoughts. This is what is meant by aversion. Solipsism / awakening is thought / belief. Feeling and sensing though, is always available, directly "here", and self-evident. Solipsism feels off because it is off, it's not Who You Are. You are boundless goodness, happiness, freedom and love. Solipsism is a fucking joke compared to your magnificence and boundlessness. There is no need whatsoever to give any more thoughts about solipsism. There is no need whatsoever for listening to Leo. Neither there is a need for taking psychedelics. You are whole and complete, ready and good as you are right now. This is what your emotional wisdom is pointing toward. What comes to taking psychedelics, I'd say don't take em if you feel anxious or scared to do so.

Who are the people shouting you down and gaslighting? Which users? Can you quote the posts and paste links where this has happened, so everyone, along with mods, can see it and make their assessment so that we could have closure. By the way, I understand why you feel the need to make your voice heard, as I had very similar experience as you do, but with Leo. I understand the frustration and anger you feel. What comes to the money you paid for Nahm's sessions, I think it would be reasonable and justified for you to ask your money back, as you clearly feel dissappointed and scammed. Have you asked for refund? And just for the sake of clarity, do you want to make one more post explaining one by one each thing you think Nahm did wrong? As in, each lie you think he told, each charlatan move, each scam... etc. And would you like to tell how you felt before, during and after you worked with him? You can make your own thread for it if you like.

@Raptorsin7 Dude, I already answered to this. I am not about focusing on proving a point to you. I am about feeling good, being aligned and well. Your ways of reasoning and argumenting is nothing to me. It doesn't come even close to this high and clarity of alignment. If you too want this high and goodness of increasing alignment, come and see. I did, and saw. Set how you feel the #1 priority. Put the dreamboard up and running. Start wearing a crystal. Take time at least once a while to sit down on the floor, and write down what you want.

@Gregory1?????

It's not about a "board which works". The board is me, and what I am about so to speak, is written on the board.

This does not resonate. I'm not going to focus on proving a point to someone who is clearly focusing on discordant thoughts and not willing / open for more. I won't be pulling myself down with you, lol. My dear friend don't expect me to sustain for you in grief Don't expect anything from me but happiness intoxication and good times since God created us only for this I wreck logic and fight a sober mind

Many things, actually. Friendships, a more resonant job, mental / emotional wellbeing, sex, hifi-system, and an intimate relationship, which is forming as we speak. Also clarity, inspiration, letting go beliefs that no longer serve etc. Once I wrote "Youtube-videos from Nahm" because I wanted to know what he looks like. A month after that he made his channel! It's not really that I would have personally manifested these things. That way of conceptualizing it is quite heavy / discordant. It's really beyond a me and manifestation, it's Love and Joy, god damn freaking magic and immense energy / alignment and creation.

My dude... About 50% of what Nahm talked about was pointing toward direct awareness and the rest was about creating the life you want. Leo and likes kept theorizing and conceptualizing when this guy heard the message and guided everyone toward being a creator, living as creator, seeing it for yourself in everyday life. The dreamboard / focusing on what you want - advice Nahm gave was more useful and insightful than any video Leo has ever made about god or reality. As the forum guidelines say, walk the talk. Nahm did.
