Being authentic is tricky, fear of death ultimately stands in the way. It’s human nature to want to be accepted socially, I find the more authentic you are, the less you fit into the social matrix.

This is your ego trying to play God. It has preferences and divides the world up into good and bad, good being that which favors it and bad being that which doesn’t. But ultimately, your ego doesn’t control shit. That’s the bad news. The good news is that you can realize that your Ego is an illusion.

For me, it’s a deep understanding of the infinite nature of reality. The question itself can have an infinite number of answers..and they would all be legit.

Yea, but relatively speaking, let’s not use mysticism to excuse any kind of alcoholism or other low consciousness addictions. Being sober is also a mystical experience if you want to go that route. Name me a shaman or mystic who’s a drunkard lol…exactly There is an ex alcoholic who used non duality to escape his addiction. Google Paul Hedderman.

Drunk blackouts and mystical experiences shouldn’t even be in the same sentence. Alcohol is a poison and damages the brain and other internal organs/nerves.

This is also the case when you are talking to humans. You think there is a "you" that the human is interacting with, but they are actually looking at nothing. Therefore your perceived relationships with them are indeed imaginary....and they don't exist just like your physical body doesn't. Scary stuff

@diamondpenguin True..it's also built on some nasty stuff too. Slavery, exploitation, corruption, pillaging, colonization, etc. The thing is, we're always building...the foundation is never stagnant, it changes as the country becomes more conscious.

People who are pro abortion and eat meat are also hypocrites. Example: "Anti abortion is against women's rights!" But.......animals don't have rights to their bodies as well? And I'm not choosing a side here, we're all hypocrites in some way.

The good thing about following Actualized.org teachings is that we're able to screen out people like this within 30 seconds to 2 minutes of listening to their perspectives on God.

What do you all look for in a worthy trip sitter? I have a buddy who offered to take some LSD with me (it'll be my first time). He doesn't actually use it for consciousness work though, he's tripped at parties..and to just go out to have fun/party. I'm not sure if I should trip with him, because he has no insight to some of the spiritual concepts discussed on the forum and channel. I want to trip with someone aware of these things...but I may be over thinking.

Agreed, thanks! Yes - the hardest thing is listening to our own wisdom sometimes. I'll go for what feels appropriate in this situation.

@James12345 that's fair. And I remember in one of Leo's vids on psychedelics mentioned it either be alone, or with one person max that you trust and is sober.

When libertarianism meets women's rights in one saying lol. I think pro-abortion stances can have hints of selfishness in them. I challenge us all to lead with the question, what is the most conscious way to handle abortion? Win-win thinking.

Yep (this includes gaining insights of course) Thanks so much for the feedback, this is helpful. My friend mentioned taking LSD, going to the park, listening to music....and I'm like all of this sounds overwhelming, shouldn't I be in a quiet place?

Ah..I did not know the sitter should actually be sober lol. Duly noted. I've known him for about 5 years, I'd consider him a close friend just in our everyday personal lives. He did give me the run down on how he would set up the right environment for me to trip on LSD tabs. He's very trustworthy, but again, I've never tripped with him. I guess my real question is, is it a little too much to expect sitters to be familiar with God, consciousness, infinity, etc? Most folks I know that trip do it recreationally...which isn't a bad thing, as long as they know what they are doing....I guess.

@Tefikos I can relate a bit. I think it ultimately stems from fear of your own success. See, certain people don't want you to advance in life. They seek to keep you at their level, which can be mediocre. Misery loves company, and as you push yourself to be more successful, other who have been energy vampires in your life will reveal themselves. This could result in the lost of many old relationships/associations, but trust me..it'll be well worth it.

Can't say I'm anti-abortion, but I feel as though we need to do all we can to make it a last resort effort in handling unwanted pregnancies. Things like funding sex ed, wide distribution of contraceptives, harsh penalties for sex abusers, increasing child care programs for working mothers and revamping the foster care system are all decent measures.

@funkychunkymonkey sounds like it'll be a ton a fun, should definitely open your mind up. I, myself couldn't stomach a year. Is there a minimum for the time you need to stay?

Contemplation: in reference to human incarnation, how did God lose consciousness of its itself as God? My initial hunch is the sheer of amount of survival demands placed upon humans who live an (imagined) physical existence. But I’d like to hear your thoughts. I hope that one day the survival demands of society is not as barbaric, and begin teaching our children in pre K-12 that they are God, and that science/survival itself is one map upon an infinite territory.

Great questions. Because to realize these things is the end of your suffering, but your ego looks at is as death. This is why you are lashing out..and name calling. Notice how protective your ego is in maintaining your human identity.

@Scholar I know you’re angry. The Truth hurts, but sending my love your way ❤️??.

Agreed, including chimps like you lol. You are a good example of challenge humanity faces with waking up on a global/collective scale. Back to my original question, how do we help folks like you and others who are terrified of realizing that they are God? It’s a challenging tasks for big egos, but can be tackled systemically..but this could take years and many instances of ego backlash.

Again..you speak of God as if it’s separate from you. You’re still not getting it, the words you use says it all. You are the arrogant one here…choosing to be deluded, but I understand. The Truth is a scary thing to digest.

And how do you know this? When I realized that I was God…I sure as hell was not cool with being ignorant for 30 years of human existence ?. Speak for your own ignorance, and notice that you are making that choice. What I call God is me…and it’s also you. To not recognize this means you are still in the dark. Sounds like you are in denial buddy. Have you even realized that you are God yet? God realization is not a “story” as you insinuate. Best to check yourself so you don’t sound like a jerk. God is Truth… and Truth ain’t an idea.

Such a good perspective, our bodies have been evolved preserve the human ego at all cost. Language structures our worldview that is favorable Like I said earlier, it’s total delusion..but absolutely necessary to build a society. There’s wisdom in survival, but also a capacity to transcend. Question is..how far is humanity away from it, and what can we do as an awakened collective to push it forward? Enlightenment is a learning process. It starts with many questions: what I am? What is reality? Etc. you sound like the typical Buddhist or Neo-advaita type. Notice these perspectives our limited and can easily develop into spiritual ego. Understanding the mind is just as important as silencing it. For us humans at least ?
