@Hojo not sure what planet you’re living on dude. 18 is considered legal in the US. What about 19 year olds who think 18 year olds are attractive? Are they pedophiles as well? What about the 18 year old men who have fetishes for Grandmas in their 80s? Reverse pedophilia?

Simple, they haven’t had a direct experience of it. God is REAL, but the only ones who can justifiably say that are those who have had Awakenings. The issue is most people who believe in God do so through hearsay and groupthink, with no reference or understanding of what God actually is (requires significant degree of intelligence and cognitive development). God held as mainstream dogma and belief is what has created modern atheism and anti-theistic skepticism that we see in Western culture today

That’s what growth is all about. Challenging yourself by stepping outside your comfort zone. Also be wary of who you share your plans with back at home. They may sow seeds of doubt when it comes to you growing beyond the version of you that they are familiar with. Find a friend or two who will support and provide encouragement during the transition. Best of luck

Gosh just reading this makes my skin crawl-yuck

I see your point. Difference between creating something that people will buy off the strength of the product vs. employing certain skills to help people advance their survival agendas. Is this why you stopped life coaching?

NYC is probably my favorite city, but recently visited Seattle, WA and was blown away (nature, water, cuisine, arts, culture). Only thing with Seattle is lots drug addicts and homeless roam the streets and shoot up drugs in public.

What business doesn't involve clients and customers though?

Thanks Leo- love the passion and looking forward to parts 2 & 3.

Lmao I’m glad you said this. People are trying to turn her into some benevolent martyr for justice- is laughable

Going thru a similar situation. I consider myself an ambitious person, not to the level of a Steve Jobs or Walt Disney- but I noticed I feel quite unhappy when my work feels meaningless and doesn’t contribute to my growth- professionally, creatively and spiritually. As I become more interested in living by spiritual principles like Truth and Love mentioned in Actualized teachings, I see that there is still much more work to do in developing financial independence-and plan to spend the next 5-10 years setting up my life to be more autonomous and independent from living paycheck to paycheck. Much of it involves keeping expenses low, making sound investments and spending time developing skills and creative projects I find meaningful.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, glad you made it out alive. We all fall into fantasies and self deception-even the most “enlightened” of us. God Realization and Awakening can turn into their own unique set of self deceptions. Seems like you’ve made great progress in many areas of your personal development and spirituality at 27-it’s ok to incur some unexpected hurdles along the way. Take care of yourself

Vibin out to this one. Playlist is 🔥

I know some people aren't the biggest fans of Owen-but this video is legit. Anytime I get carried away with spiritual work to the point where it turns into inaction and bypassing, I turn to this video. It's a great reference for building a solid material foundation, getting shit done. Which then makes it easier to do deep spirituality Fight the inner DERP !

On the heels of the latest Actualized.org video on conforming, I'm now realizing how empowering it feels to say NO. Saying NO to unhealthy things, is saying YES to healthy. This entire year, I've been assessing what has worked for my personal development and growth, and what hasn't (includes people, activities, ways of thinking, etc). It has become all too clear now the ways in which I limit myself and my growth for the sake of being liked and approved of. Saying NO is one powerful, under utilized tool in this work. I hope to get better at it as I age and develop.

How do you know?

Yes. In modern western culture, we’ve substituted religious dogma with New Age and scientific dogma. No one understands how they are constructing false Gods

This is a very nuanced point, it’s difficult to grasp. We need perspective to round out our worldview and epistemology, but it’s easy to trapped and locked in. Only through 5 years of not just following Actualized.org, but also putting the insights into practice through contemplation and experimentation, I’m only now able to clearly see how paradigm lock happens, the subtly of it. Of course the most challenging is not turning Actualized.org into a worldview.

At your level of understanding these days, I’m curious if you consume any outside content from spiritual teachers to deeper your understanding? Seems there is a limit to all human perspectives on this matter, inherent in the fact that they are human

What helped me was deeply contemplating the structure of Existence before fully understanding it. How much of Existence is conceptual vs. actual? Has the materialistic / scientistic worldview answered all the fundamental questions about Existence?-or are there still gaps? Actualized.org 3-part series on deconstructing the myth of science is a great starting point. Watch those if you haven’t, but really try to take points in those video seriously- contemplate each for yourself. Your Mind has to be an active participant in understanding these things at their root, engaging in thought discussions on the forum won’t help much-as it’s more so a passive approach to understanding

Would be a great screening question on a second or third date: ”So, how many stupidity neurons do you have? We should go get tested before things get serious.”

Yea- I’m sure it’s easier for some cultures than others. Survival can hinge on pleasing your boss or parents- so takes some level of freedom and autonomy to put the power of saying no into practice.

yup- paradoxically so an opinion about the opinions of others less about having opinions, more about how serious you take them but hey..thats even an opinion

Turn on some good music and vibe out- it's Sunday

Dont be so silly- I’m just sharing content I’ve found useful in my personal development. It’s totally within your right not to watch it. No harm, no foul

Watch the video! Many nuggets of truth in viewpoints from people with personalities we don’t like
