Thought Art

If you have trouble consider doing a guided live session. I know of one that happens online every saturday night.

I personally resonate with what Deepak is saying and I do wish that Adeptus would: 1. Be more kind and compassionate to people who have different views than him in general 2. Be more humble and open minded toward him and to see what he is really saying before he says what he is saying is bullshit. I also think adeptus makes good points within his own logical and rational understanding of things. I think that it is true that there is no reality. What you call 'reality' is completely relative to the 'state' or 'manifestation' you are in.That it is completely relative and that depending on the way reality is dreaming at the time it is dream that is what is relatively true. What Adeptus calls reality, just regular old dumb reality is an illusion, and the models he has of reality are illusion too. So it's relative illusion nested in relative illusion. Everything is COMPLETELY relative even time. There is no reality. Just the reality that is. compared to nothing. Who can reality turn to to ask if it is reality? Nothing. Just this awareness here. Even amongst humans the way reality is seen is relative which is why him using the definition of reality in the way he does lacks any absolute meaning to me. Because we all have different epistemology and experiential understanding of reality. I personally think (though I love Rob as a fellow human) that he is arrogant to think that he understands more than other people and feels the need to shit on people. I have nothing against him grounding himself in rational, materialism out of fear of losing his mind from psychedelics. Personally, I am humbled by everything I am learning about reality. I am open minded and I see relative truth in both his and Deepaks views. I think the case that reality is an illusion is just way to strong when you go deep enough to ignore it. But, to see that takes study, open minded and the ability to embrace radical paradox which Rob does not do. I don't know if he is much of a reader? There is lots he can read about this stuff from lots of different experts. Reality and truth require open mindedness and the ability to hold simultaneous seeming paradoxes. But, that doesn't mean we shouldn't master our survival, or take our health seriously. I think Rob firmly grounds and identifies with his life, mind, body, and perspective on reality. Which is useful for selfish survival but not understanding the absolute nature of reality. The ego I think can't fully grasp that it's a construct of infinite consciousness. Welcome to relativity, perspective and interpretation. I am still forming my understanding of reality and will likely be humble for many years to come. We will see. "The tao that can be spoken is not the eternal tao"

There is video footage of actual protests lol... I am sure it is satire but.. anyway.

This area of his teaching I think is dangerous and could be an ego game. From MY perspective, he has no consciousness. That is true. But the same goes for everyone else. I mean, we can't all be the only awareness bubble. Then again, we could. This goes beyond my understanding and I am curious about all of this. Can't we all have our own awareness and be God? This seems arbitrary. Leo doesn't exist, but he chased pleasure in the past? I admit I am imagining everything outside of my present experience. I am not following Leo's logic in the God realization video. The entire thing doesn't really make sense to me.

Yea music therapy, I thought about studying this too. They offer it at Acadia university. I've worked alongside music therapists while I worked with autistic children. It seems like a decent gig!

Talk therapy, reading, etc

Made a short video sharing my experience with Actualized.org.

No They are videos and a book list

What makes you special to only need 1?

I think raising a little person into an adult and teaching them all the life lessons I wish I had growing up will be nice.

Honestly sounds like a good thing. You can deeply contemplate this for yourself and make the decision I think is best.

I am in Nova Scotia, it's been real hot

Those of you who consider yourself great long term planners would you be willing to talk to me about how your mind works? What skills have you installed, what habits do you have?

I am just noting my direct experiences. Whether or not I am 'attached' I don't think matters. You are here in a limited form with laws and rules. It may be a dream. But, for not it's this type of dream. Can you operate in it? Can you predict it? No. You note the rules of reality as you experience it. God has chosen all of this. But, I as an ego am not aware of any of it

I can understand this. However, it is arbitrary because everything exists yet the planet is finite. So, why create such a harsh reality that is Soooo long, and soooo challenging, and soooo unforgiving where most people won't experience self actualizing. Is that love? I don't know. I see the love more and more but I am just saying. Got could leave the devil in the field of potential with it's infinite intelligence. I realize that God I need to forgive God, and myself. But I struggle with that.

Depends on how you approach it. But, developing a mindset of service is important. Got somewhere you want to work? Maybe you need to start by washing the floor, or dishes, or doing basic admin work part time, or just going to events and meeting people. Sometimes you just need to just into the stream and provide value whether it pays you right away or not. Don't think so much like you are convincing, but finding a way to serve.

A vial of hope and a vial of pain In the light they both looked the same Poured them out on into the world On every boy and every girl It's in the neon Bible, the neon Bible Not much chance for survival If the neon Bible is right Take the poison of your age Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page What I know is what you know is right In the city it's the only light It's the neon Bible, the neon Bible Not much chance for survival If the Neon Bible is right Oh God! well look at you now! Oh, you lost it but you don't know how In the light of a golden calf Oh God, I had to laugh Take the poison of your age Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page It was wrong but you said it was right In the future I will read at night In the neon Bible, the neon Bible Not much chance for survival If the Neon Bible is true

I've been watching this episode and re-listening to it when I walk around. I think this is one of the best episodes and I find it helps remind me of my inner sage. It's a great episode for orienting yourself around the idea of working toward becoming a wise person. I know I want to be wise but find time and time again as I go through my own maturing process that I act foolishly. I love that I have access to this wisdom that is provided in such an aesthetically pleasing way. I realize now that more than Life purpose, that Wisdom, inner clarity and cosmic understanding it key to a good life. I think purpose comes with that. I think that everyday we can pick away at becoming more wise. I notice that a part of me wants to be wise and a part of me wants to be foolish The inner sage and the inner child Which one do we listen to? We sit at the helm of our own ship, steering through the storm of life Is our rudder in operation? Leo tells us to ask ourselves "What is the wisest way for me to live life?" and I think that is the best question and we need to have the willingness to ask ourselves again and again. "What is the wisest decision to make in every decision that I am in?" I think these questions can be important to ask ourselves more often. I think that a life lived from this question would be a life well lived in the long run. Though, it might not be the 'easiest path'... and we all have varying degrees of foolishness and our own unique intelligences. I look forward to growing towards this community being of high wisdom! I think actualized.org is just so young right now. I can't wait until we have all grown much wiser in the next 10-20 years.

I feel uncomfortable seeing you make states like this. "No need to reinvent the wheel" Doesn't work in a nutritional context imo. It also isn't agreed among many scientist whether cutting sugar works so linearly. It might be more nuanced as to the types of sugar, as well as the whole diet itself as certain foods change how the body relates to what is it in at the time. Plant based nutrition, for those can consume it are skinny... Have you see a fruitarian? Anyway, just thinking out loud

You can't and you can destroy relationships doing so. Everything needs context and containers. Let people come to you, not you going to look to change others. Who the fuck are you to wake anyone up?

I like this. All this God talk is really a waste of time. Except too scaffold and orient a mind into openness and receptivity of experience. I think spirituality done right is rather mundane and ordinary. Sure, there are exciting mystical states etc which are amazing But, regular or human life is God too, you just didn't know.

@RMQualtrough I understand

Maybe it's the right counter intuitive move that my life purpose is music but I take accounting. I am 25, I have time and I keep practicing my music. I need to build a solid life foundation. Music and this dream career I have in mind I think is possible. I've seen the potential of what knocking on all the doors can do. I've gotten on some stages and that has been great. But, to take it to the next level is going to require a total overhaul in my skill set and mastery overall. I have a plan that can work. I just need to hone in, keep my focus and not self sabotage. That is a weakness, and I will weed out the weeds 1. I think accounting and developing my understanding of personal finances is crucial for artists and anyone looking to be successful in life 2. Doing tasks that require a high level of detail like my accounting assignments is so so so important to developing the attention to detail 3. The program is teaching me that reality doesn't give a shit if I am depressed or not. Reality will pass me by if I just sit on the side lines depressed and anxious running fears in my head about all the bad shit that could/ will happen to me if I pursue my life purpose. Reality isn't going to wait for my mental health to improve 4. Studying account shows me why my results have been so poor in life. Without a solid grasp of accounting and project planning you can't really develop and execute a solid life purpose imo because you are really playing this great balancing act and that requires skill, systems thinking and attention to detail. Once you are making financial decisions and having to follow government regulations things start getting really complex. Even if you are an artist these things are still important Maybe it's overkill, I don't know but I think it's the best thing for me right now given my circumstances.
