This is great! @Jesper Sorry I didn't see the other post first, I will check it out. @Catanio I totally agree. @Study I will not base my entire essence on it, but it's hard not to identify when it's so accurate. @DJ ask your friends, what they think, I thought all of my friends knew I was an intro like them, but they all thought I was an extro until I said "what about when I have to leave the social gatherings because I'm overwhelmed" and then they got it.... I just speak passionately and have less filters on my speech like an extro, etc. @X-ways me too! @Emerald Wilkins yeah, totally that's why I thought I might find you kindreds here. What are your favourite things about being an INFJ, and what do you need to overcome? For me I like our "dream it, make it happen" quality best and our desire for a meaningful impact on the world.... but like Leo's video on the subject, my perfectionism plagues me... really holds me back from actualizing my awesome visions... it is one of my biggest demons....

After you deal with your immediate crisis, I have some insight: I have more than a few bipolar friends, they are usually highly creative and talented, I have always been drawn to bipolar people... but not so much when they are manic etc.... anyway, a couple of these friends are now stable, long term stable! I found out about the "true hope" supplement (with the cheesy name), @ a 'local health fair. How it was invented; man looses wife to bipolar, then finds out kids have it too. His friend, a pig farmer, had some pigs that were depressed, grumpy, hyper, etc, and had helped the pigs by mixing his own minerals etc formula. They tried a similar human version on the bipolar children and it worked on their symptoms too! It's working on 2 of my friends, with no more dangerous meds, hospital admissions, etc.... get him out of the current battle, then maybe give true hope a call.... my friends also have to stick to rather strict highly nutritious diets too... and definitely no drugs or alcohol....

It's never too early or too late to actualize. For those of you still in your teens though, it is a real blessing to have the knowledge and desire to start this path early! I'm 39 and feeling fine, for me, it's the perfect time... and I'm in a Dr. Seuss-ish mood too I guess... lol...

To be honest, before I figured out how effective they are, I thought that they were unbelievably cheesy slogans meant for the ridiculously pathetic (how closed minded of me). Sadly, I think the majority of the population has no idea what they are, or misunderstands like I did (and many of my friends still do). It's such as shame because they are an incredible tool. Leo has some rad ones, and I like Louise Hay's as well. That said, I agree with you @Colin, I think the ones we make up ourselves will have the most benefit for us personally as unique individuals. I like the mindfulness video too, but it was Leo's video about not caring what others think that literally forced me into the realm of affirmations (simply because he gave "homework", lol). Weird question; If a lot of the subconscious crap that we need to reprogram (faulty self-image etc) stems from the comments of others, then why are affirmations powerful and effective while external compliments delude us? -

Anyone else a bath person?...I love swimming under icy waterfalls, surfing in the ocean, etch... but I'm assuming a cold bath is harder to get into (and more difficult for your body temp to compensate) than a cold shower, is this true? -

Without giving a fancy scientific answer, I can say simply: Green Tea and Yerba Matte vs. coffee/ energy drinks - it's like comparing eating a piece of fruit vs. a lollipop... the fruit gives you a lower "sugar high", but the mild energy from the fruit is extended over a longer period of time....I am totally addicted to green tea though... so this may be like Gollum trying to say the ring is healthy... drink the precious... lol... -
@Endless Skies, @Zephyr, @JevinR We all live in different towns/ cities but we are pretty close, we are all "West Coast BC, Canada: Self-Actualizerz". Anyone else? Good post idea @nightlight

When I thought of the vastness of non-fiction things I could watch, and how much more enjoyable it is to watch something when I am learning from it(opposed to something that simply numbs my mind), the choice was easy. Plus, there are so many amazing things to read, and actual experiences to have in person, the desire simply faded away. That said, I seem to have a weakness. This new Star Wars movie has been really difficult to avoid, simply because the connection to the story goes back to childhood (I still have my Darth Vader piggy bank etc)! Anyone else been tempted by this enticing, alluring, film? To avoid being sucked in at the big screen like most of my friends (even the friends that don't watch TV are going!), I decided this fiction movie would be an exception, but later/ on video, and only as an inspirational drawing aid (must be drawing while watching, kind of like how cake is ok at a birthday party, lol). I'll try my best not to get vortex-ed into the magical storyline, and if I accidentally do, maybe it will be another hero's journey that I can get some insight from.

@luigi1994 and others interested; I like this question too! For me, yes and no. I find the parts of mainstream society that are not congruent with self-actualization, can still be learning experiences. That said, I can only take so much of it....that's why I live in the forest, lol. I think you might like "Sea-Steading" (see The Seasteading Institute). It is based on the principal that every time an island breaks off (like Hong Kong, Singapore, etc), they become amazingly productive creators and develop a unique prosperous, abundant community with revolutionary ideas. Their plan is to create communities at sea beyond the boundaries of any countries regulations, where people are free to explore new ideas, new gov't, new technology, etc with no boundaries. The concept art for these micro cities is beautiful, so is the sustainable living from algae production etc, but they don't have the money yet. It's a cool idea regardless, maybe check it out.

Hello Actualized Community, Do any of you have any experience with PSYCH-K I'm not sure if it's ok to post a video of how it works. It stands for psychological kinesiology. Basically, it's using muscle testing, as in fitness, to form a direct connection to communicate with your subconscious mind. I watched a demonstration by the inventor Rob Williams and have tested the basic principal on friends, and it seems to work.... but I have to wonder if the part of me that thinks this would work for me is looking for a "Magic Pill" as Leo would say, so that I can cut down on my affirmations or something. If you have experience, please tell me all of the details; did you attend a seminar and learn to do it with a friend? Did you go to a professional? Helpful? Noticeable changes? Thanks! -

@RyanSubconscious apparently it is not as reliable and more difficult by yourself, with a friend might be better. @JeffR1 thanks so much! What an amazing story, that must have been so enlightening to find out about the twin and make those connections! I basically just wanted to know if it would be worth my money to explore this, and from what you've said it certainly sounds like it would be. I'm glad it's not a magic pill, I'd probably be too sceptical if you said it was. I would be elated if NET/ PSYCH-K could help me develop that awareness of triggers and release process you spoke of, thanks again! -

Oops, I didn't answer your question, I sent you off to do that work for yourself, I have developed a good habit of doing that, lol. PSYCH-K: If you are asked to say my name is "x" and that is your name, your subconscious knows that, and your arm (like in the pic I posted above) will remain strong. If you are asked to say my name is " Mary-Margaret" or something that your subconscious knows is false, your arm muscles become uncontrollably weak. Using this method, apparently, you can find the limiting beliefs in the subconscious and change them. In the audience demo (I mentioned above), you can see this in action. -

Awesome RyanSubconscious, me too! I discovered psych-k through Bruce Lipton's work (he is a cell researcher, that has made amazing discoveries about our subconscious perceptions altering our physical health directly, maybe check out his work too). At the end of Bruce's full documentary, (I think it's called The Biology of Belief, sorry I am not sure if I'm allowed to post YouTube videos like that here), there is a part 2 presented by Rob Williams that explains how he came to discover\ invent this subconscious re-programming technique, he then shows an example using an audience member. These videos are at least an hour each, but worth watching. You may be able to find more condensed info from other sources. Please keep me posted if you have any insights from your research. I think I may invest in a few professional sessions soon. I'll let you know how it goes. -
I have a friend that is a master tattoo artist, he also mastered NLP and Hypnosis for his clients (to help with pain and relaxation). He used NLP once on the phone with me to get me out of a difficult situation safely, with incredible results! Since then, I have had an interest, yet I am also leery, (because of the reputation with creepy guys using it to manipulate women). I have no desire to manipulate anyone, especially in a negative way. Randombodymind, if you can briefly explain how self-actualizers would use NLP in our lives, in a positive way, I will support your request (add my voice to it as well).

One of the free videos talks a bit about it, I remember Leo mentioning the threshold guardians. I really love the Heroes Journey model, so I would enjoy a whole video about our heroic path to actualization or something along those lines, for sure!

Dear Moderator (or whomever moved my post), I have nothing against alternative healing, it's great, I agree with the actualization principal that things beyond the mainstream are usually better. That said, I do not feel that my post belongs here. This technique is used by psychologists and other mainstream professionals, it was developed by a psychologist. It uses the physical body, and direct verbal communication rather than; Chakras, Reiki, etc... I also feel that there is a smaller percentage of this actualizing community that seem to show interest in the alternative healing discussions, and this potentially limits my chances for a broad spectrum of responses. Thank you for your consideration.
