She got lost in my eyes! She was only 18 when she wrote, produced, released, and first performed this song. Taylor Swift can't hold a microphone to her. This is another type of girl worth impregnating (but she's in her mid-50s now ). The other type is Shika-chan: https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/110433-different-everywhere-i-go/

How were you able to smile with 1 hr of sleep?

It's not spiritual bypassing, not even near. If you had correctly interpreted my post, you would have grasped that it is selfish and pro-life. I considered cosmic exploration, and technological and societal advancement in my analysis. The difference between my philosophy and yours is that mine sprouts from years of pondering and introspection, while yours sprouts from naivety. Tell God to burn the official document to ashes. I'm not signing it. If it reaches my location, I'll burn it myself. It's pathetic to look forward to reincarnation for a better human life. That's not my style. As the old cliche goes: succeed or die trying. I'm making my earthly life a heavenly life. Beauty, spirituality, philosophy, self-empowerment, and others already exist in my internal world and external world. USD, earthly paradise, aesthetical works, exploration & adventure, a dozen wives & a thousand concubines, and a few kids already exist in my internal world every day when I close my eyes. Eventually they will also exist in my external world every day when I open my eyes. Don't underestimate the existence of my internal world. As I explained in the last thread I started, the Universe or Existence would NOT be complete without it.

Tell God to create the official document, affix his signature, and deliver it to me from heaven down to hell(Earth) in 3 days. I will immediately sign the document to make it official. @LordFall I pondered the idea of becoming immortal seriously and deeply for a few years, about 11 years ago. I didn’t want to die. I wanted to live eternally. At that time, I believed it would be the greatest thing that could ever happen to me. But in the end, I realized I was completely wrong. It would actually be the greatest tragedy that could happen to me. It doesn't matter how intelligent, how handsome, how strong, how charismatic, how healthy, how, grateful, how appreciative, how, joyful, etc I am. In the end, I am a little worm compared to God, the unlimited self who possess unlimited intelligence, beauty, joy, love, excitement, power, etc. This automatically means my capacity to feel good, to comprehend, to succeed, to feel grateful, to explore, to enjoy, etc are limited because I inhabit a human body that is limited in all domains. This eventually results in dissatisfaction and suffering. It doesn’t even matter how beautiful or exciting the world becomes, because the world itself is still limited, and my ability to absorb and enjoy all its beauty is also limited. This surely leads to eventual dissatisfaction and suffering. Suppose I found a way to conquer the suffering, I would still end up feeling bored for eternity. This would be the greatest evil God could inflict on me! But I do support significantly extending the human life span. I think 200 years would be a good starting point. If that functions, then extend to 500 years, then to 1,000 years. I guess a limited human will suffer intensely after a few thousand years of life. The counterargument: "But humans will invent a technology that will upgrade their brain and spiritual capacity that will lead to eternal satisfaction." is weak. I don't and can't buy it. Ponder this: You possess a limited human body but want an unlimited lifespan? That would be a great mismatch, a big error.

Feeling more satisfied, secure, peaceful, and joyful. The best news in the whole universe is this: You are God!

I must correct my reasoning. I started learning filmmaking recently and discovered that the biggest reason for my rough skin in that photo was my camera's auto ISO setting. My AI: I get why it feels cruel — but it’s really more about how auto ISO and smartphone image processing work than Samsung deliberately making you look bad. Auto ISO is designed to keep the photo bright in any situation, but when it cranks sensitivity up in tricky lighting, the sensor noise exaggerates skin texture and highlights. The phone’s software then sharpens and smooths in ways that can make pores look bigger and shine look harsher. Think of it like this: the camera is trying to “save” the shot in low light, but the trade‑off is that your skin can look rougher or oilier than it does in reality. It’s not Samsung being cruel — it’s just the physics of small sensors and the way auto settings prioritize exposure over flattering detail. If you want to avoid that “oily/rough” surprise: Lock ISO lower when you can (manual mode). Add soft light — even a lamp bounced off a wall makes a huge difference. Avoid harsh angles — overhead light is the worst for skin. Use exposure compensation instead of letting auto ISO spike. 👉 In filmmaking, this is why pros say “light first, then camera settings.” With good light, you can keep ISO low and your skin will look natural. So, I edited the photo to correct the ISO effect. I don't know how accurate the result is after the correction. Nobody cares. But I care. So here it is:

Wow! I started this thread 6 years ago. I have completely forgotten about it. I can't believe I spent too much time and energy in including all those details. I was too generous. Now, I'm not that generous anymore. 😑

It must have been very painful. I own a dog myself so I know how you feel. But find peace in knowing that she has merged with infinity and eternity: heaven, where peace and harmony dominate.

I saw your question: “Do you think being a moderator means we're not allowed to express our personal critiques?” Unfortunately, I can't reply in that thread because it has been locked. So here’s my reply: If you value genuineness, goodness, and integrity, then you should openly express your critiques of Leo; especially that he administers a spiritual and personal development forum. How he reacts to your critiques is his problem. I’ve seen a few moderators being dethroned recently. Even if you end up dethroned yourself, you should still honor your values. The important thing is to ensure that your critiques and opinions are sensible and valid.

Are you referring to my stressed skin? My skin looks oily and rough in that photo because I lacked sleep. A bad night’s sleep usually affects both my mood and my skin. On top of that, my face suffered a sunburn because I rode a motorbike to get through heavy traffic more easily. I was in a hurry, and my face absorbed the harsh tropical sun for 30 minutes straight. I don't wear sunscreen. If my skin must burn, I let it burn. I never wear sunscreen because a man should not wear it. Very conservative, huh? Still, I shared that photo because I wanted to document and share that special moment. It reminds me of the strong positive emotions I strive to embody in my daily life.

Tagalog: Walang anuman! Cebuano: Way sapayan! English: You're welcome! Because you are!

I used them synonymously, yes. I mean: his moderators attacked Leo unexpectedly, wounded him, and failed to deliver the results Leo expected from them. I don't grasp what you're saying, Natasha-chan. I suffered from 80% - 90% Pure O OCD and 10%-20% behavioral OCD in my teenage years and 20s. Pure O is hell and worse because it's more intrusive than typical OCD.

When I said quit, I meant quit as a moderator. Relax a bit, girl.

Moderators are supposed to be disciples and generals. If you were Leo, you would want moderators who can implement your vision for the forum. You wouldn’t want a moderator who turns against you and creates friction. So, naturally, you would choose loyal moderators who share the same worldview as you, or at least remain neutral. It’s fine for moderators to hold different opinions, but fundamentally, their view of Leo should not be as negative as thinking he’s a narcissist, cult leader, or self‑deluded lunatic. Leo has clearly failed in this aspect. Many moderators have turned against him; many more than you think. And consider those moderators who keep their nasty opinions of Leo hidden.

Thanks!
