@Leo Gura I completely agree. My previous post must have failed to communicate this. That’s why I was saying that if you get your life together/ do interesting things you will have more options. I think the problem with pickup generally is that it seems to be more focused on seduction and not on becoming the best/ most adventurous version of yourself possible. Just chasing sex would be a low conscious approach.

@28 cm unbuffed I would say that anyone who is crazy or delusional probably isn’t high value. Value isn’t only derived from appearances, though it’s definitely important. I would argue that a less attractive person that compliments your life is higher value than a super model that is a pain in the neck to deal with. Determining what values you want a partner to have can help you define what is high and low quality. Those criteria may also help you narrow down where you are most focused on approaching people (at least if it’s a serious relationship you are after). Personally, I would suggest only using clibs and bars as a way to practice and not go into it expecting a real relationship. Just treat it as practicing conversation. Meditation/ yoga groups, hiking, martial arts, rock climbing, biking, skiing are all great activities to go meet higher quality people.

@28 cm unbuffed they don’t need to invest time into game because it does nothing to benefit them. Women don’t have a problem finding sexual partners or relationships (generally I think), but they do seem to have a problem finding high quality sexual partners or relationships. men seem to have the opposite problem. Less options available that are attracted to them but easier time finding high quality partners. Also worth noting that this might just be because most men have very low standards ( like it’s almost pitiful) while women have much higher expectations. I once knew someone who said “ A warm body is a warm body.” I think that mentality is the probably the major problem a lot of guys are falling into whether they admit it to themselves or not. also, looking at game as some job that is separate from the rest of your life probably won’t bring good results. At the end of the day, most men would have more options if they went to the gym, wore nice ish clothes, and had a few interesting hobbies. if your life is interesting you will will have interesting things to talk about and someone will be interested. If you can hold a conversation and be playful about it, someone will be interested. Of course this can be over complicated or simplified as much as you want, but that’s the premise. The more you can integrate it into your life the better (to the point it’s not a separate thing you do). also, if girls are not worthwhile to you, it might be worth devoting your time elsewhere and not worrying about it.

@UnbornTao you can download the Audio files off the main actualized website. For YouTube videos I have used real player in the past

While it may be possible to awaken to such a point that you could bend reality to your will, you likely wouldn’t. The level of consciousness that would take would dissolve all of your egotistical desires. Someone could trip on 5meo every day, or meditate on a mountain top their entire life and never obtain this level of consciousness. additionally, if one were to learn the “cheat code”, they would likely tell no one as it would be irresponsible to teach as most people would behave in a selfish and egotistical manner. This would be a cheap trick to live a good life and never pursue anything higher or have real meaning. Our suffering in life is often what brings us deep and profound meaning. This is a feature not a bug. if a selfish person did manage to discover how to manifest anything in life, what benefit would it be to them to share this with you? They wouldn’t need to sell the secret because money would no longer matter to them. You could not possibly give them anything in exchange because they could manifest everything they desire. finally, if you were to truly awaken to this, recognizing you are god does not mean “your name here” is god. The human ego is not god. God is the substrate of all existence . This would beg the question, why would your ego be any less of an illusion than my ego, or anyone else’s? Why should you be the one to bend reality and not jim bob out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere? if everyone were to become omnipotent, all egos in theory would dissolve and god would awaken from the dream, bringing nothingness. also recognize that the reason this question is so egotistical, is because it is focused on where YOU are in relation to god. This is just a division that you are creating and this is an illusion. Infinity has no division. In order for your ego to survive, it wants to maintain itself while also being god. it may be more beneficial to back off of solipsism and attempt to deconstruct your ego and it’s motivations. Psychedelics, meditations, wim hof breathing, and prolonged experiences in nature/isolation will bring profound insights. Go trekking for several months and you will see some things. If you can’t get psychedelics in your country, take a vacation somewhere they are accessible legally. id start with isolation in nature though. In my experience I felt far more stable doing this first.

This is such a fantastic idea! I had started saving videos to a hard drive but I love being able to print them! Will definitely keeping these on hand. Thanks for doing this! I hope you keep adding more!

There really isn’t a set timeline for people to begin awakening. Different people are ready at different times. With that being said, I do think it is advantageous to start earlier in life as it tends to be time consuming. Additionally the older you get, the higher the possibility you end up paradigm locked. philosophy/spirituality are wonderful things to get into at your age. I got into it when I was 16 and it has really helped push my life in a positive direction and find my purpose. Don’t touch psychedelics for a few years though. Practice meditation, watch actualized videos and talks from other teachers, read a bunch of books and really contemplate the nature of existence. All of this should be seen as a prerequisite for tripping. Not necessarily a hard rule for everyone, but it has been true for myself and people I care about. the actualized.org videos are great for the average person. Leo’s “how to be a strategic motberfucker” video is what got me started on personal development which is ultimately lead me to spirituality. I’d also add that I was a stage blue republican Christian when I stumbled into this at 16. Definitely an average person. I don’t think that the forum is necessarily bad for average people in a harmful way. I think the way things get said on this forum sometimes could turn off a lot of people. If someone’s first exposure to actualized was through the forum, they could get turned off from going any further with it. also, this isn’t really a criticism of anyone or anything like that. I barely post here but tend scroll most evenings before bed. There are a lot of really good insights that y’all have and I think members here generally mean well. Some statements could be perceived as harsh. After getting primed with 30 videos or so and really thinking about it, most people would be fine here. thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

I used to suck at dancing. I highly recommend ketamine and EDM music. When I just started letting go and just moved body however I thought matched the music, I got a lot better. I might still look like a jackass, but I actually have a lot of fun with it now. Don’t think about it too much as that defeats the purpose. Stop caring about how other people will perceive you and just let go.

I live in southwest va! I’d totally drive up to New York for this. If you did one in northern va/DC that would be awesome too! I doubt you would be doing anything in Southwest VA (Roanoke) since it’s definitely a lower population density than a lot of these other places. If for some reason you did come down this way, you are welcome to stay in my home and borrow my spare car to help cut down on your expenses. Just shoot me a message if southwest ends up on your plan at all and if that would be helpful!

4 ACO DMT and 4HO MET are fantastic. I personally preferred 4ACO. A lot of people claim that it is indistinguishable from mushrooms although that was not my experience. I felt like if LSD and psilocybin had a baby together, it would be this. At the end of the day you can never really go wrong with the standard stuff. LSD, shrooms and DMT are really all you need. Those are my personal preference but I did enjoy trying out the research chems. I doubt I’ll ever buy 4ACO or 4HO ever again though as it was really just something to check off the list. 5meo is what I have my sights on next.

@Leo Gura obviously the person who commented that they would wait for the course has the right idea. And I am getting more curious the more I read this thread. Asking questions is probably fruitless, but here it goes anyways lol. regarding god realization and enlightenment, I can definitely conceptualize this thanks to following your work. My major issue has been with the “being” part of the equation. I have definitely been in a god realized state (even after the trip wore off) but it always slips from my grasp. 1. You have stated that alien consciousness is of far greater magnitude than any other type of awakening. How do you go about ranking your awakenings? Whenever I have ranked my own it usually just came down to which experience gave more clarity. It’s been less of it being different and more of it being a new perspective that gives a clearer picture, but is still ultimately rooted in the same thing. 2. Why would you use the term alien? This makes it sound as if this is something outside of yourself and outside of a typical god realization. When I read your initial post, I assumed that you were trying to point to non duality in the most brazen and obnoxious way possible that would inevitably create chaos in the responses. Maybe your play was that out of the chaos someone would figure it out. You keep speaking in a fashion that I have interpreted as God is speaking through you and that what you are saying is the word of god. My interpretation (which is probably wrong) has been the that I am all there is. I am Leo Gura and every other person on this forum and in the universe. So in that sense I could speak on behalf god since I am god. The difference between you and me being that you are in a permanent state of being awake while I am still dreaming most of the time. I should reiterate again, that I can conceptualize this, but have not actualized this. Are you suggesting there is an “other” that we can tap into? Or is separation still an illusion? Also I am not trying to reduce reality down to anything and really just trying to wrap my head around what could be beyond infinity as that seems to be what you are alluding to. 3. Finally, with this new level you have discovered, what actually changes besides just gaining more clarity/understanding?When I was first exposed to non duality I thought that was the end all. Then I discovered solipsism. The outcome of both is basically the same in my opinion. Either I am one with everything or I am all there is. Both are essentially saying the same thing. I think solipsism leaves less room for the ego to hijack it/ romanticize it, but it really is just word play. I hope I don’t come across as arrogant or a fucking moron in this post ( I am a bit sleepy so cut me some slack lol). I really appreciate all the work you have done though. I’ve been watching your stuff since like 2014. You have had a greater impact than anyone else has ever had on my life.

You are the only one awake because you are the only one that exist. in the same sense I am the only one awake because I am the only one that exist. When you say I/ME you aren’t talking about Leo Gura. You are describing absolute infinity. this was clever. My favorite post in months lol.

So I have been dabbling in meditation for several years now so I definitely get it, but I have struggled to maintain a consistent practice. To start the year off right I have been meditating every day with your Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LscnZCzdak .I have it bookmarked and my plan is to use it every day until the habit is developed. This has been my favorite guided meditation since the week it was released and its also what got me into meditation. In my humble opinion this is one of the most beneficial videos you have ever produced (and that's saying a lot considering how much of an impact your content has had on me over the last few years). I would love it if you were to release a series of guided meditations. Ranging from 10 min - 2 hours. If you put it on youtube I would use it. If you made it a course to pay for, I would buy it. Another recommendation is to put these on Insight Timer (a great app for guided meditations) so you can reach even more people. I apologize if this post doesn't quite fit the guidelines of what you are looking for. I do hope it's helpful though! Thank you for all you do!
