The problem isn't necessarily any particular diet, so to say (although it can be). It's that people have piss poor body awareness and take responsibility for how they are feeling, and then try to outsource how to discover what specific diet/healthy lifestyle is optimal for them. They think they can shortcut the problem but subscribing to a strict grocery list of a fad diet like raw veganism or carnivore diet, but what they really need is a trip to the doctors office, a nutritional coach, and a behavior specialist to get to the roots and build a solid foundation for health. Stop being so blind and attaching to things that fit your confirmation bias and be honest that the people in these videos would be sick and rotting regardless of the contents of their palate.

What do others provide you with, that you yourself can't provide yourself with? Consider that you're looking for others to "cure" your loneliness, as a distraction from tackling it internally, head on. So, is your consciousness and contemplative work at all geared towards tackling your loneliness?

I love learning from channels like this because people like Roma and the movement she represents is perfect examples of how every POV is simply perspectival and partial. She has a lot of great things to say, and while there are obvious grains of truth in them, it is and ultimately limited and fundamentally biased. Just by the nature of the content in it's existence is literally dividing the population in half Great study case here.

Don't listen to him what he just said was nonsense. In fact it's the complete opposite, a lot of Alphas can be highly insecure! Which is why they feel the need to socially posture (aggressive/manipulative) and even put people down sometimes so they feel safe and "on top of the pecking order" so to say. A natural, healthy Alpha has a strong sense of charisma and leadership about them, and can make everyone feel welcome and useful. As for the OP's concerns; This may sound insultingly simple, but really all you have to do is smile and wave when people look at you . It's just a fact of life that people are gonna look and stare at each other. It happens to everyone so don't think you're so special and being targeted specifically. If you feel that people are expecting a certain "vibe" from you based on the way you look, yea that expectation can be annoying. But you know what you can do to cure that insecurity? Shock them with authenticity. Be yourself so fucking well that it makes them second guess their assumptions so much that they're embarrassed

This video is just a compilation of cherry-picked unhealthy and sickly looking people, how can you fall for such obvious propaganda lmao?

"There can't be a reason for pursuing selflessness, because if there was a reason, that reason would be selfish." Just wanted to highlight this quote for appreciation and whatever discussion arises. Jesus Christ it's literally gold. It's so ridiculously simple, yet awesomely profound and elegant. Thanks for sharing all this wisdom with us @Leo Gura!

I'm sorry for your suffering @Dunnel I really am, but please consider that you DO care, which is why you are here. It's unfortunate what you are going through and it certainly isn't fair, but you do have a choice you know, even if it feels like you don't. You do not have to believe the stories and the things your mind is telling you. No matter how convincing they seem there is absolutely no proof they are true. Maybe you can't see that now, but you can come too. You need to stick around to find out though. One day you will look back on this point of your life and realize it was where you discovered tremendous strength in yourself as a person. Our lowest and worst moments are our greatest opportunities for growth.

It happens by simply setting the intention, wanting it, and persisting. Really what is stopping you from being happy right now, exactly as things are? Absolutely nothing. What is stopping someone from deciding to be happy despite being tortured to death? Absolutely nothing. Of course their circumstances are going to make it more difficult to be happy, but it's still entirely possible. The only thing ever getting in the way of love and happiness is what we let get in the way.

Lots of new jobs can feel like that at the start, especially factory jobs. You need to be strategic and take pride in learning self-care and how to manage your energy levels properly so you don't burn yourself out. Just remember you only just started, it WILL get easier over time as you get into a routine and get better at your job. Don't go all out at it unless you will be well compensated for it, if you don't anticipate that just do what you need to to earn your money and don't stress about it when you're not there like a lot of people do.

Awareness alone is curative

Absolutely fascinating! My immediate wonder is how would you populate these places with the right kind of people so they would function as intended and people would be happy and productive living in them? In our current culture in the West people live with very selfish expectations and notions of privacy, isolation, control of water/land, storage, etc. So while it's entirely possible a place like this could be built, it would take a radical shaking up of living habits for people to be able to occupy them. I guess it will just take time. The world will be forced to become more communal anyways, with overpopulation and resource depletion a guarantee.

Quit it you're making me blush Stalin

I mean you could be a twat about it if you want, but there is nothing conspiratorial or unbelievable about anything I said. It should be layman knowledge that the US is state corrupted by a neurotic cultural obsession with finances (legal or otherwise), which disproportionately dictate many of the decisions that are made. It's not a democracy. This is clear if even the smallest bit of skepticism made you dig past the surface layer. The power lies not in patriotic nationalists with a sense of duty to uphold certain constitutional virtues, nor does it reside in the fervor of clergy like it did with nations from the 1500's. Please don't tell me you watch CNN or Fox News, or ANY Youtube political commentator unironically

People are really this naive huh? Alright let me lay it out very simple for you folks; Presidents DO NOT run the country or choose which countries they go to war with, they are literally PR puppets for the kleptocratic oligarchs and corporations who operate nearly removed from the public sphere, and are well insulated from from taking accountability. Some of these people and corporations we know the names of, some of them we do not.

That's some pretty high tier co-worker banter, your boss sounds like he was a cool guy.

I have a simple thought experiment for everyone here, if you never watched any Actualized.Org videos or their content before and randomly came across D'Angelo Wallace's video - What would you think of it? You'd probably laugh and go along with the criticisms of everyone else if you're honest. The key point to appreciate is not everyone is going to get the context of what is being said, they will just judge it on face value. Nor will they probably even take the time to learn the context, what would you do if someone asked you to watch 10-100 videos prior to something else so they could "understand" it. You'd say "fuck you that's a waste of my time". Not everyone is on the same journey @twoosees. Don't distract yourself from the nature of the work by trying to convert people or bring them on the same path. Everyone is exactly where they need to be.

Missed work today because I was up all night feeling anxious and ruminating, I guess this is what a shift does to you. But I got some errands and things done today to make up for it a bit. While out I also made a pledge to myself to never shop at fast-food places again. I've never really been a go to customer anyways the past 10 years I'm pretty good with my health actually, I'd only go to Tim Hortons or McDonalds for coffee and snacks, but still I see what they're doing to the planet and what happens to unconscious addicted customers and their health. I simply don't want to support it anymore, the easiest and direct way is to cutting off my wallet from them. I hope they go bankrupt Also noticed some pretty intense urges to game again today after I got home. "Oh just install one. Playing just one is fine. Oh don't be too hard on yourself." Distraction really is the egos greatest defense mechanism. I resisted though. Maybe one day I'll treat myself again, but I've got to accomplish some other shit first.

Had a shift in consciousness or perspective or whatever you want to call it. Nothing like a massive epiphany like I've had a few times in my life before, but something clicked "gracefully" a few days ago when I woke up and I feel simply better, usually this is precipitated by a dream but I can't remember my dream from that night. If I had to guess it's probably because I'm sick of suffering and I think I know deep down what I have to do (generally) and something internal is pushing me (my spirit? Who knows). Anyways one of the symptoms of this shift was uninstalling all video games from my PC tonight, not sure if I'll go back or what will happen in the future with that, but it's a thing that happened nonetheless. Always knew it was coming, one day. I have other changes listed in my mind that will probably follow but we will see how that manifests, or maybe I'll get a huge ego backlash and develop some toxic habit like smoking or something lmao. Not sure what purpose this thread will serve long term, just had to write this down and put it out to the world and this place kind of makes sense so I'm not overthinking it internally, or am I ? One lesson I've learned (mostly) is to be persistent as a mother fucker even if you fail 1000 times or feel shitty 1000 times, if you really want something deep down emotionally past all the noise in your head perhaps that's all you need. The rest will follow. Anyways cheers to whoever stumbles upon this.

Considering where you are geographically maybe look for a labor job if you're physically fit. A lot of construction jobs, logging, retail lumber yards, etc are always looking for more bodies and you don't really need any experience to get them. Just have a willingness to show up and work everyday lol. Most of them pay well above minimum wage so even though it can be exhausting (only if you work dumb really) it's WAY better than flipping burgers or dealing with idiot customers at a Wal-Mart for $14 p/hr. There is some upward traction with a lot of them too if you work hard enough, where as most retail jobs are dead end as fuck. Also if you live close enough to a Fire Department that has any volunteer staff you could join that. It's all in your spare time so you'll have to weigh how much you value that, but you meet some really great people, contribute to the community, and make usually $25 an hour on top of it. Plus it looks awesome on a resume for any employer. Moved to Duncan in October! Where you at @Matt23?

People have personality and style man. Not every guru or teacher has to wear silk clothing, forget to shave, and always look blissed out. Leo has even said himself he is an intellectual type that's busy thinking up new ideas and insights, which is itself usually messy and doesn't lend itself to grace that well.

There is a profound line that really stuck out to me in the video when they are interviewing Baderkhan; "We shouldn't just wait for a miracle to happen, people are the miracle." Wow.

Please don't go back in your shell. It may be cozy in there, but the world needs more people like you.

Excuse me. Hey there, yea I'm not sure what I want today. What do you guys have on the menu? Chlamydia. Genital herpes. Genital warts or human papillomavirus (HPV). Gonorrhea. Hepatitis B. Syphilis. Trichomoniasis. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS.

Check your bias and look at the larger social dynamics. They are doing it because they are finally able to do so without catastrophic social repercussions like men have been doing it forever. It's all social conditioning. It publicly communicates the women is low value if she gets turned on too fast. Like someone said earlier in the thread it's been a very long time of slut shaming for women, while men are encouraged and even admired as experienced and skilled for the same levels of promiscuity. Now women are finally getting to enjoy the double standards men have been enjoying for literally time immemoriam and everyone is losing their fucking minds It doesn't make any of it right of course, but it's still hilarious seeing devils getting upset and pointing at other devils. Reminds me of that spiderman meme. Stop being so attached and rise above your own gender and the whole gender game. Be more conscious.

- Eat a good meal after. - Drink fuck tons of water. So what you normally drink, but force yourself to drink x2 that. - Force yourself to add 1 hour of extra sleep onto that night you worked out. Very simple stuff and you won't feel so awful the next day.
