  1. Leo says in his latest video "Miracle Awakening" that "I am a miracle" "You are a miracle" and "existence is a miracle" https://www.actualized.org/insights/miracle-awakening and he says that one year doing psychedelics is equivalent to 20 years meditating. So if he's been doing it for 6 years his awareness must be equivalent to 120 years meditating. So where is the unique knowledge coming out of this? He keeps saying that psychedelics are 20x more powerful than meditating. Where is the evidence of this? "I am a miracle" "You are a miracle" and "existence is a miracle" . This is nice but it doesn't sound so unique and amazing. Give me an example of something written while tripping on 5 Meo or another psychedelic that is unique that has some usefulness other than sounding like some mystical paradox, interesting of no use mindbenders like "Everything I say is lie including this statement". You can get high and listen to a piece of music and it sounds like the greatest thing you ever heard. Then when you come down off of it and listen again you realize you had accidentally been listing to Justin Beiber. Where are the great books written while tripping on LSD replacing the great works of philosophy or great spiritual books? You don't need to have a permanent awakening. Just take the drug go into the high state of consciousness and write it down. Several trips and you will have a classic. People have had millions of trips on LSD. People have been taking mushrooms and peyote and Ayawasca for hundreds or thousands of years. So where are the symphonies greater than Bach and Beethoven? Where is the Bhagavad Gita, The Bible, the Tao Te Ching? The Picassos and Leonardos? The Stephen Hawkings, The Buddhas ?? Where is the stuff better or as good as that that? You don't need 40 years of meditating. Just take 5-Meo and while you are in that super high conscious state start reciting your spiritual wisdom and record it, or take out your sheet music paper and write a symphony or discover some long unsolved math problem Where is the gift to the world other than - take this this thing- and feel this way - ? I am not against exploring psychedelics I am against being constantly being told it's better Stop saying it's better, show it's better Go into your state of betterness and manifest something out of it instead of just saying the state is better You say taking a chemical produces a superior state of consciousness. That means brain surgery might be able to to the same thing and make it permanent. But first let's see what can be accomplished while in such a state other than being paralyzed by awe to see if it's worth artificially altering the brain permanently.
  2. You have discovered that the spiritual sphere you have visited is leading toward narcissism. You can live like that and not worry about it. Or you can seek out a spiritual method that is compassion oriented and people that represent and do it well, not just speak it If you focus on caring about certain people, even if you fake it for a while It will eventually expand and come back to you. but it can't be only an intellectual process. It needs a physical element.
  3. yes but I'm not going to get into specifics. Some trips were interesting but I don't thing they rendered all books on philosophy obsolete
  4. That's not being fair. It's your biased opinion that Leo is beyond anything contemporary spiritual schools have produced or talk about. You are referring to actualized.org, That is primary videos. That means we should be able to look at a transcript of a given video and determine that what was said is " beyond anything contemporary spiritual schools have produced or talk about." So put something on the table other than an entire video. Let's look at a 10 minute section of a video, give the time markers
  5. I ask for evidence when someone says they know more about consciousness than someone else because they take particular psychedelics. Having an experience does not mean you know something above the details of that experience. If someone smokes opium or takes a trip Machu Picchu and another person hasn't they can't claim to be more knowledgeable in a general sense. They had an experience taking one chemical that the other person didn't have. That doesn't mean they are more conscious. It means they had an experience that the other person didn't have.
  6. It doesn't matter what sticks or not If someone has a trip on a psychedelic then what they say when in that state should reveal something about consciousnesses that has not been revealed before Leo said his latest awakening revealed "I am a miracle" "You are a miracle" and "existence is a miracle" and that a miracle is defined as something that defies the laws of physics. So this is the evidence that psychedelics reveal something about consciousnesses that other methods don't, that the laws of physics have been disproved? So what has been proved on the positive. Does a person have to take a psychedelic to believe that science is invalid? We can't find mystics or religious who might say that without the psychedelics Where is the super incredible knowledge other than take this or that particular chemical and have this particular experience? People say you need "direct experience". Direct experience of what? Experience of something they have no ability to understand? "Everything is imaginary" is that the ultimate truth? So of what use is it to say that and how is that some unique thing no one has every said before? Consciousness is experience, we have direct experience all the time. In the video Leo compares psychedelics to rendering everything gurus teach and books to be obsolete, the comparison is made over and over again that these experiences are like knowledge in books but this knowledge is the correct knowledge. But if it's not about "knowledge" and it's just an experience to have why even mention books or philosophy? So experience is what renders these things obsolete? What experience? That someone had a feeling of "oneness" on psychedelic and they think it's a deeper feeling of oneness than mediators get? This is my advice. Leo is not the only person to have taken a psychedelic. So set up a live event on youtube. - yes live and dangerous-no nets Leo and four other people trip masters on 5 Meo having a discussion. This should blow away your Sadhgurus at Harvard, your Einsteins, your Sam Harris' , your Rupert Spiras' , your Eckhart Tolles, etc etc Set up some chairs, drop the tabs, bring in the psychonauts and teach humanity the true truths instead of hiding out home talking to camera
  7. Cognitive scientist Don Hoffman takes us deep into his research suggesting we're attacking the problem backwards. The implications may challenge all you know about our place in reality. Take the Red Pill and see how deep the rabbit hole goes... In this extended interview we dive into the Interface Theory of Perception (how evolution hides the truth about reality in favor of a dumbed down "user interface" that only shows us "fitness payoffs" that help us survive), the "Hard Problem of Consciousness" and how we simply have no idea how consciousness could emerge from physical matter, the non-dual theory of Conscious Realism (how reality is really a social network of "conscious agents" and our perceptions are simply the interface by which we exchange experience with other agents), the math behind conscious agent theory, implications for artificial intelligence (AI), psychedelics, spirituality, and much, much more.

  8. Proper Non-Dualist speech 1. "we", "us", "our", "ourselves" are the only acceptable pronouns 2. The dualist terms "I", "self" , "you", "me" , "his" , "her", "she", "he" and personal names cannot be used ______________________________________________________________________________________ So look at any paragraph. If we see one of the dualist words replace it with one of the acceptable Non-dualist pronouns and we will have moved closer toward truth
  9. Mod if possible please move topic to Meditation, Consciousness, Enlightenment, Spirituality thanks, mistakenly posted here
  10. That is not mine that is from the Kybalion, aka Solipsism, aka Leoism "Everything is Imagination" I posted that for reference According to Leoism Everything is imaginary so reality doesn't exist. There is only imagination No the language structures of the brain are innate. "Thoughts" (tools) are constructed out of those language structures. The particular language of course is all learned, a consistent catalog of words laid over those structures that innately comprehend certain base grammatical things and certain logic.
  11. , this remark is being made a lot just by itself without " = God". So to keep things simple let's look at this version We have two comments here on the subject of everything one has the word "imaginary" in it and the other "real" So another comment about these comments probably should be talking about all these words "everything" , "real" and "imaginary"
  12. No that is nonsensical Because language is imperfect But still here writing words here, commenting on videos, etc, speaking should not be a an excuse to use the poorest of poorly conceived word-concepts - words most inconsistent with statements made. Obviously "we" is less separate than "I" or "you" So let us not abandon progress and abandon improved speech . We go out to a week long retreat asking "Who I am " and have a breakthrough , there is no "I" Then you returning home only to reconstruct "I" and "you" all over again ???
  13. YES, NOW EVEN CLOSER, THE SOUP HAS BEEN EATEN
  14. devilry is a fictional concept with Christian fear instigating connotation. Who uses such a term in modern civilization? Togetherness CAN be found by direct experience, obviously. Let's not spread falsehood "Masters" (of a certain type) only use the term "I" to demonstrate a lie . It's doesn't cut through the bullshit. It is the bullshit. It is not fool-proof but fool-ish "I" is not nondualist It is Santa Claus and the Easter bunny and devils rolled into a fairy tail cigar Being the only way wasn't mentioned. Our way is Nondualism. Therefore false words of separation need to be acknowledged and not used in true statements Not mixed into balls of confusion Only used to clearly illustrate delusional concepts of duality, if one must indulge in descriptions of wrongness It's hard to give up our old ways when steeping only half way in ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ WHO ARE WE? .
  15. Some cultures use certain people as shamans. Some of them might be classified in the West as schizophrenics. That means being healers and oracles. Geniuses are a different matter. That tends to be regarded as a lot more intellectual A Genius might be a schizophrenic but not all schizophrenics are geniuses. Go to googlebooks where you can read parts of books for free. Look up this book Our Most Troubling Madness: Case Studies in Schizophrenia across Cultures Read some of the case studies and see if you think the descriptions are genius-like
  16. However his belief is that everything is Imaginary not necessarily reality being created by your consciousness. In other words there is no reality
  17. read this 1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism and 2) https://www.iep.utm.edu/solipsis/ ______________________________________________________________________ Also The Kybalion THE SEVEN HERMETIC PRINCIPLES "The Principles of Truth are Seven; he who knows these, understandingly, possesses the Magic Key before whose touch all the Doors of the Temple fly open."--The Kybalion. The Seven Hermetic Principles, upon which the entire Hermetic Philosophy is based, are as follows: 1. The Principle of Mentalism. 2. The Principle of Correspondence. 3. The Principle of Vibration. 4. The Principle of Polarity. 5. The Principle of Rhythm. 6. The Principle of Cause and Effect. 7. The Principle of Gender. These Seven Principles will be discussed and explained as we proceed with these lessons. A short explanation of each, however, may as well be given at this point. 1. The Principle of Mentalism "THE ALL IS MIND; The Universe is Mental."--The Kybalion. This Principle embodies the truth that "All is Mind." It explains that THE ALL (which is the Substantial Reality underlying all the outward manifestations and appearances which we know under the terms of "The Material Universe"; the "Phenomena of Life"; "Matter"; "Energy"; and, in short, all that is apparent to our material senses) is SPIRIT which in itself is UNKNOWABLE and UNDEFINABLE, but which may be considered and thought of as AN UNIVERSAL, INFINITE, LIVING MIND. It also explains that all the phenomenal world or universe is simply a Mental Creation of THE ALL, subject to the Laws of Created Things, and that the universe, as a whole, and in its parts or units, has its existence in the Mind of THE ALL, in which Mind we "live and move and have our being." This Principle, by establishing the Mental Nature of the Universe, easily explains all of the varied mental and psychic phenomena that occupy such a large portion of the public attention, and which, without such explanation, are non-understandable and defy scientific treatment. An understanding of this great Hermetic Principle of Mentalism enables the individual to readily grasp the laws of the Mental Universe, and to apply the same to his well-being and advancement. The Hermetic Student is enabled to apply intelligently the great Mental Laws, instead of using them in a haphazard manner. With the Master-Key in his possession, the student may unlock the many doors of the mental and psychic temple of knowledge, and enter the same freely and intelligently. This Principle explains the true nature of "Energy," "Power," and "Matter," and why and how all these are subordinate to the Mastery of Mind. One of the old Hermetic Masters wrote, long ages ago: "He who grasps the truth of the Mental Nature of the Universe is well advanced on The Path to Mastery." And these words are as true today as at the time they were first written. Without this Master-Key, Mastery is impossible, and the student knocks in vain at the many doors of The Temple

  19. thanks, fixed 4 more debates expected in January and February https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/12/us/politics/democratic-primary-2020-debate-schedule.html
  20. Final Democratic Party DEBATE Tonight December 19, 2019 In podium order, Andrew Yang, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren Joe Biden Bernie Sanders Amy Klobuchar Tom Steyer. Michael Bloomberg does not qualify for the debate because is not accepting campaign donations, one of the Democratic National Committee’s requirements to get on stage. Also in the race but not qualifying for the debate are Michael Bennet, John Delaney and Marianne Williamson (Turquoise according to Leo) Cory Booker, who didn’t qualify for the debate, will make his presence known with a campaign ad that will air during the debate. Biden has, for the entirety of this race, sat at the top of most polling. And by-and-large, the candidates who have targeted him on stage (namely Kamala Harris) are no longer there. Three of the Democrats on the stage tonight – Sanders, Warren and Klobuchar – are likely to spend some part of January in an impeachment trial.
