A good reminder for what it takes to be successful in your life long learning process: https://www.queensu.ca/artsci_online/sites/default/files/SuccessinOnlineLearningatQueens_0.pdf

The more you watch D'angelos video the more you see how much pain he is in, how much black and white thinking he ascribes too, how little research he has done, how self biased he is. Awakened people need not worry about the opinions of unawakened people. Though, yeah its hard. Don't give your authority to anyone. The universe is your teacher. And, maybe keep some things to yourself for now. Not everyone needs to know how smart you or leo is. People are going to be wary of Actualized.org being a cult and rightfully should be. Our minds are valuable and people want to make sure they are protecting themselves and their family. Leo talks about a lot of deep subjects which are very sensitive and it is a great responsibility. The goal is to open your mind, so remember to read many sources, contemplate, do the practices and open your mind as much as you can.

Tip 1: Start doing Qigong, Yoga, meditation, 5meodmt and be consistant. Read more about it. open your mind. don't listen to peoples opinions as truths. Focus on direct experience. Develop clarity of mind, and a high level of mastery of your body and life in general. Tip 2: Watch this and do the practices https://superhumanexperience.io/ Obviously if you want something you gotta do the work to get it. Not wanting powers contains truth, but also wanting to access what is yours is your right and go ahead.

Depends on where you look. I imagine the forums quality will increase over time. Instead of shitting on it, contribute to it. Contemplate for to make the forum more effective for your growth and the growth of others.

@Seraphim Nahhh, Psychs and physical practice increase Aura when done right.

He has lots of grace imo its through the entire infrastructure of Actualized.org and all his catalogues. His videos have stylistic components to make 2-3 hours lectures fun. That is grace as well.

@Hardkill I don't think it's true. I have gone on dates where I know from the moment we meet there is sexual interest. They play a different game perhaps than men.... Gay men are much more open sexually than I have noticed in hetero relationships. It's not instant dick pics. But, if you can create chemistry, or there is chemistry present some part is turned on. I have gone on dates where I knew we were gonna smash from the moment we both sat down at the table ahahah. We want a good time. She wants to have fun, so do you. Just enjoy her company. Create a great moment together. That is major part of social interaction. Also different relationships are different. Sometimes you can over game things. Be authentic and cool, and not worred. You just are yourself. Show up to the context of dating, relationships, social interaction with a good head on your shoulders, open heart, you aren't needy, you provide emotional and energetic value. You can bet you are more likely to sleep with her. You can feel it. She can too. She wants to know you don't NEED sex, or anything from her, but are energetically interested and present. She can know that you want it. She assumes you do. She probably wants it too. It's part of the package of intimate relating. But we need to relate to it in a wise way. She may protect herself longer than you would. Doesn't mean she isn't turned on. She wants to observe you , get to know you , feel you, submit to certain aspects, but know you are overall funny, good vibe, a friend, attractive, sane, safe to be around and a positive addition to her life over all. She wants your positive masculine energy and enough feminine flow to have good balance. She wants to enjoy her life. By being a good mate and happy and whole within yourself. When you go about it to enjoy and respect her in a powerful, penetration masculine way. She wants to enjoy her life, so do you. When doing dating or pickup, start there. Sometimes women are just looking for a lover who is safe and friendly sometimes they are just looking for a long term partner Neurotic women want one thing, sane women want another thing Depends on peoples upbringings as well... OR, she wants something else. Depends. People have unique sets of programming. Also, Maybe they do get turned on slower on average too. I am not sure .

If it's a video or music, listen to the whole thing at least once before giving feedback. Remember the goal is create a powerful community of creators not to tear others down. By sharing your work, even if it scares you you will definitely improve a lot faster. I believe we are all here to create something great. Remember it doesn't always happen in your first try. But, this is the path of mastery! Let's walk it together. You can also specify things you want feedback on, such as content or structure. You can choose three level of critical feedback heat: 1. Low 2. Medium 3. High Here is a song I created on my first album: I would like feedback on how I can improve my mixing and recording in future records, as well as what peoples opinions are of the composition. High.

@Leo Gura Though, that is something I was wondering. Is it safe to even shower in the water if it has all these things in it? I am lucky where I live that we have some of the best tap water in the world. But, anyway. Ordering my basic RO this week! Thanks Leo

I join a weekly guided breathing session. The person who guides you is really reasurring and the music is really nice.

I would try 5meo and do a bit more spiritual work before trying to teach others. Read a bit more, do more contemplation, ask questions on the form. Remember to start any new endeavour with a beginners mind

@nistake Beautiful Image, very classic sort of role playing game kinda feel. Are you becoming a game designer? @Gili Trawangan I really like the drum beat. Though, could groove a bit more. Reminds me sort of Thom york, Atoms for Peace. I think the vocals could be louder and the drums lower. Have you listened to the addiction formula audiobook yet? The vocals remind me of a few things, maybe Placebo? Nice touch on the reverb effect as the song came to a close. The composition is pretty good, how you bring in and out instruments is well done. Sometimes it feels a bit clashy or busy or like the guitar and the vocals are following the same melody line in the same space in the mix. I wonder if EQ is how you could get it to punch more without being too loud. I didn't connected strongly with the lyrics, but enjoy the content. I think the guitar kinda blurs the vocal a little bit. How did you set up the mix? I will listen to it again here later today with headphones. I will listen again and update my post.

Leo speaks some Truth about Sadhguru, but honestly still do it. Build your own experiential repitoire of practices through direct experience. You aren't gonna suffer from trying something that is basic you can only benefit. Jumping into the deep end of Kundalini and Krya is dangerous for beginners in my opinion. Leo, people have to start somewhere. I personally benefitted hugely with Sadghurus basic intro Isha Krya when I was a newbie.. You don't need to become GOD MODE today. Focus on developing joy and wellbeing, and a well functioning mind and nervous system right now. Sadhgurus Isha Krya and Inner engineering is powerful for living a joyful life. I also personally have only dipped my toe into Krya and Kundalini Yoga. Right now my love is for Qigong because it's the strongest overall practice I have discovered for peace, mental health, energy, sleep and I am exploring the development of Siddhis as I learn to control my Qi/ Life force energy... This morning I was crying with so much love ahaha. Love this stretch for success. Too many of us hold unnecessary stress in our necks. This will lower a lot of your anxiety and give you more energy. Though, Qigong is a lot better. I love this practice. Don't let Leo scare you from Sadhguru. However, don't let him be where you stop. Building your own map and understanding of your body's energetic, emotional and physical systems can only be done through deliberate practice and direct experimentation. Enjoy your exploration. Remember this map we are creating is huge. Every teacher has things we can gain from them. Use all the tools at your disposal. Remember that Leo's guidance is just that. One which we obviously all respect but don't let him dogma you out of your own experimentation and exploration of other teachers and teachings. (I know Leo agrees... I mean, don't dogma yourself). - Leo has great Krya books on his reading list which will take you deeper - Also check out the Krya yoga mega thread - remember to try things out for yourself, but also ease your way into the practices. I have had some bad experiences on raising certain energy to fast.

1. Taming your gremlin gets you to practice becoming aware of what is basically your limiting, neurotic inner voice. By noting this, you just simply notice the thought instead of fighting yourself. There is more too it, like feeling into your body and being present in the moment. Good for increasing overall awareness. 2. Guide to rational living is great for developing an understand of the difference between irrational and rational thinking that either create a happy meaningful life where you are able to see life in a way that allows you to achieve you goals, feel good about yourself and not have neurotic demands on reality, or belief about reality that cause you to create useless suffering and struggle. Now that you are used to noting your gremlin, you can also use that technique to notice irrational beliefs and thoughts and begin to replace them with rational thoughts. Honestly, other books like the Six pillars of self esteem also come into play here. each book builds and fleshes out different aspects of a healthy mind. 3. Adversitiy Quotient helps you develop your AQ (like IQ or EQ but with Adversity). I personally found that the lower your AQ the more neurotic and gremlin voices you have and listen to without adequate awareness. So, by developing mindfulness through meditation and a noting technique like taming your gremlin you can begin to notice more often throughout the day when you have irrational thoughts or thoughts that are signs of having a low AQ score. The three books work nicely together towards cracking the nut of thinking rationally, and having an internal set of systems that allow you to live a happy fulfilling life where your thoughts are sane, rational and life affirming and nuanced enough to meet the demands and challenges of life. I can do it much justice here. Really have to read them, do the exercises for yourself I think.

I can't find an over the counter RO that remineralizes. So, I will have to remineralize it myself, which is fine. @mikelyons I would assume so

This is false. The density of books is far denser than videos. Leo admits that himself, why he has the reading list. If you do all those others things while listening to audiobooks you likely aren't absorbing it as fully as you could otherwise. Listening also tends to be more passive, while reading is more active. That is why it is harder to read cuz you gotta use your brain, emotional labour and focus.

@blackchair No? Can you elaborate? How you gonna be a pro athlete if you aren't competing? Bar something like rock climbing.

@Leo Gura Could it's implications be a recontextualizaion of the nature of vision? I think so

@SamC Everything is saturated. Whatever you do put the work in and become an amazing value provider.

@Village I am buying a reverse osmosis machine, and adding in natural minerals. No plastic there. I mean, hey you do you. No one said pure water was good for you. I don't need to slaughter animals for food. I am sure coconut water is good. Are you a Sv3rge fan? ahaha you remind me of him. Also, if I was a vampire... why is it I am built like all other great apes which are herbivores. It's okay we don't see eye to eye of this. I am more athletic than most people I know, and I feel confident in my nutritional background too. I studied food business in school. There are minerals in spring water you know. Humans haven't always lived in houses outside of nature. Running water used to be safe. There is no historical data I know of of humans living off of blood (other than milk... which is mostly a white people thing because most of the world is lactose intolerant)

@mmKay Might want to get a SIBO test. I love good Wraps, Burritos, Miso soup, sushi, veggie pizza and bean salads

@Village I agree you can get water from those things. But getting water from milk and blood is like smoking to get oxygen. Anyway, I think that is just nasty man. Nothing wrong with fresh spring water, or properly filtered water. I am sure sparkling water is fine, but I don't think its better than clean, properly mineralized water. Your gonna get a lot of toxins from milk and especially blood. You are not a vampire, supposed to live of milk (which is basically just blood/puss anyway) and blood.

Might get this one. I have a couple more hours of research before I get one. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07Q47KNMT?psc=1&th=1&linkCode=gs2&tag=spottingsco0d-20

@StarStruck I know right.... I don't think I can get one installed here. The under the counter ones are a bit cheaper. So, it might be the best I can do. I know that my health, my brain and tissues, nervous system etc are worth it. I am pretty sure my water here in Canada is better than much of the US and my area of Canada is especially high quality. Yet, I want to purify and operate at the highest level. That aint gonna happen without an investment. My health it worth it. And if it lasts 5-10 years it is worth it. I have more research to do. The filters are expensive but similar price to buying the water jugs I buy over a year, minus the lifting and lugging and plastic.
