@SOUL We can say that societies and cultures at large do have some cultish elements to them, in reaction to differences in cultural values, moral frameworks of the population taught and ingrained, and various cognitive developments in each in group and out group, how they think, what collective states they experience day to day. We can see this more with smaller groups, both currently and in the past like with Charles Manson and Osho's Rajneesh compound, although in Osho's case in more his second in command that orchestrated attempts to take over Oregon county and political positions. However, to me it's more obvious that there is much more cult like dynamics with Youtube reactionaries that feel the need to stir up drama, gossip and rumours, and clip out and take out of context pieces of information and misinterpret what is really being said properly for the views, and getting followers along the band wagon, versus a personal development website owner, who covers topics found in self help, but also philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, non duality, spirituality, psychedelics use for personal development, who has repeatedly warned and had disclaimers in the description boxes down below each video against misuse, misunderstanding and not turning this work into a blind ideology. Again, no offense to Leo Gura, he lacks the qualities necessary to be a powerful cult leader. Those who are trying to make him out as a cult leader, are really not seeing that if he was a genuine cult guy, he would suck at it. I'd be familiar with what makes a cult leader a proper cult leader first, before accusing a person of being a cult leader, right?

@SOUL Yeah, I get that I'm the only one that exists, and everything is imaginable on the absolute level and relative levels. But honestly, no offense to Leo Gura, he sucks at being an actual cult leader. If we made a low to high tier of cult leaders, Leo's on the bottom tier easily. He can't compete witb the likes of Charles Manson or Donald Trump cult wise, so accusing him of being a cult is delusional and intellectually lazy. To me it's just bad and stupid with some individuals trying to build a case that Leo or Actualized.org is a cult, without realizing the foundation for sucb a case being built is on top of a sink hole. It's also not surprising, taking into account where they come from, their value sustem, cognitive and moral development, personality traits, states of being and consciousness, and other lines of development, and other areas if regression being projected.

@zurew I partly agree with that, it just resembles complaints to Leo for giving hours lengthy videos. I think it's probably that most people don't have enough toleramce and patience to read a long text anymore, due to the increased prevalence of ADD from prolonged use of social media.

@axiom @K Ghoul You have to learn to apreciate and read long texts to deeply grasp what is being written here.

@Inliytened1 I thought the gist of his criticism was purely for attention, rumo, gossip and drama. Or was it just mainly him accusing Leo of being a cult leader?

@SOUL Why are we even taking this drama seriously? I thoight we were done talking about Solipsism here. @Inliytened1 what was his criticism boiled down to?

@Fleetinglife Nice share.

@zurew I guess until humanity develops a hive mind globally, then chances of us resolving environmental issues will probably be slow, because it depends on so many factors, like the value systems indoctrinated from culture and upbringing, to cognitive and moral development, personality traits loosely, the states of being and consciousness on a mass scale loosely, to overall general and specific life experiences and other lines of development that make up a society like technology, economics, education, history, science, all leading up to some kind of unification, consciously and technologically.

@PurpleTree No tree, that's too high! You need to chill immediately! Take the temp down!

Great, so by definition a 1st world democracy is full of psychopaths in the perspective of an authoritarian regime, and the authoritarian regime along with it's dictator full of psychopaths to democracy. We have gone nowhere, and have successfully maintain our survival agendas of demonising the other, at both the individual level of ego, to the collective ego.

@rnd Other than a few weird examples, and the subject matter being easily misunderstood, I found it slightly weak compared to his other older videos on other advanced topics, those ones were way more triggering than the recent video. You'll have to have watched his older videos on spirituality and philosophical ideas to understand what I mean. Wothout going into specifics, the objections addressed were too narrow for me and didn't address some broader objections to Solipsism, or those who led a life without knowing they were or have a Solipsistic worldview. For example, in his older video on laziness, he addressed issues with if you are too lazy, but in that same video, he also covers a little bit on if you are being too busy and too workaholic too as well. In this sense, that video lacked that breadth a bit, but it doesn't deserve this drama, at least to me it's not that bad. You guys are not really missing out on much, other than not satisfying that craving for another video.

@mandyjw Yes, like if someone had an overeating problem, they likely need to put down the fork, like that.

@mandyjw Off topic, but do you think a large part of why this place is a 'cult' is because of some people unable to put down a video?

@Thought Art You have a nice profile. Did you make it yourself?

@Mindflow Sounds very interesting.

@JuliusCaesar It is all very counterintuitive, and interesting. To me it's like a magnetic field, one gigantic field that contains many smalller fields in it, pushing and pulling here and there, all while underpinned by one magnetic field. Update: I have done something very interesting, and almost achievedthe impossible. I talked about the merging technique before here, and I've also done partial merging with Crysty where she draws an object using my left hand. I extended that to her partially using my left eye, and to see from her point of view from one eye, while I maintained my point of view from the other eye. It was more difficult than with the left hand, as this isn't as trained, but I was able to better super impose an object she sees onto paper. It was a difficult, sometimes disorienting but very interesting experience. I felt slightly more psychic visually by doing this.

@INFP RACOON BABY Mostly at stage blue because most Russians are patriotic to their country, have nationalistic views, with smaller sections of Russia's society being stage red and stage orange. Very few stage green, yellow and turquoise,and stage purple and baige.

@Eternity ?‍♀️?

For those curious: And the following where he doubles down and defends his take:

How did this thread go from talking about a war, to turtle steaks

@hello1234 Why are you arguing all the time in this forum?

@Leo Gura Well said.

@MarkKol Art depends on a person's state of being, emotional state, their cognitiive and moral development, their personality type, general and specific life experiences and domains of mastery so far, how each mind represents reality and how each mind has a hierarchy of sense making activity, like those who are more visual or auditory or kinesthetic in their sense making, and lastly images internalized over time. Art doesn't even belong to or is limited by himan beings. Even other creatures with a completely different mind can make art: Makes you think how Solipsism or Nihilism is ever connected to Art, as a whole and in it's many different forms.

@Ananta Brilliant manipulation tactic, to lure out those who are disloyal to Putin from the inside.

@Julian gabriel That what makes visions powerful, anyone's vision is their own first. I miss old Leo too. Have you watched the solipsism video Leo gave?
