@Member Actually, no, but I get what you mean. Why do you think that way? Is this inspired by a DMT experience or something else?

Lol if he did, he should probably go see someone... doesn't look like healthy crap at all...

@Ibgdrgnxxv Drop everything you think and believe about God and yourself. Especially the idea that you are somebody and that God is somebody/something/somewhere. Otherwise you'll never find out.

@Member The mind is not enlightened...

Omg I've just discovered something pretty cool: If you recontextualize a tesseract, you literally get an impossible 3D object. Tesseract: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tesseract#/media/File:Schlegel_wireframe_8-cell.png Try to recontextualize the tesseract, so you get something like this: Impossible cube: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Impossible_cube_illusion_angle.svg It's exactly how you would do it with a Necker cube (https://www.cut-the-knot.org/Curriculum/Geometry/Necker.shtml). The only difference is that you end up with an impossible 3D object, which is pretty cool... Didn't Terence McKenna say something about seeing impossible objects in the DMT flash? I know I'm kinda throwing around a lot of ideas where I suspect a possible connection, so don't take it too seriously...

Yeah, sounds like that

There's nothing wrong with having achieved all these things. But it's neither necessary to brag about them and use them to try to claim authority, nor is it a very humble move...

@Leo Gura In the Harry Potter story, there is a mirror. This mirror is able to show us our deepest and most desperate desires of our hearts. What would you see in that mirror?

"I'm hugging the toilet out of love, pure love. I love it so much and then I get down on my knees and I see the dirt, the lint, dirt, dust and pubic hair in the corner of the of the bathroom and I take my hands and I just - I run it slowly and sensually through the dirt, until I accumulate a large ball [...] of pubic hair and lint and dust and like.. nasty pee dirt and I'm looking at this and - this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life." "Imagine that [...] God had a face and you ever got to see the face of God, the kind of emotions you might experience and the kind of beauty and profundity you might feel - this clump of pubic hair is the face of God." (from https://youtu.be/ypDRRcMKj7E?t=2342) I think those are my absolute favorite quotes when I heard him say these thing for the very first time I just couldn't stop laughing...

"We're inside the trash bin of the universe right now - this is the trash bin, hello??!.." (from https://youtu.be/1zjuDdysOL8?t=4866)

Damn, this one is good...

"Everyone is your brother and sister. Yes, you'll be banging your sister But that only deepens the love, Lol." (from https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/34866-to-all-struggling-males-stop-playing-victim/?page=2)

Which are your 3 favorite books?

1. It's not a belief. This has to be absolutely clear. 2. Show an ordinary object to the person, for example a spoon. Now explain, that you only call this thing a "spoon". Explain, that we only call this thing a "thing". Whatever we say about it, it is not what it is, because it is not a word. 3. Ask the person to look at his arm/hand. Ask the person to determine where exactly your arm ends and the hand begins. Where is the boundary, exactly and precisely? There is not boundary - you can't see, hear, smell or touch any boundary, because there isn't one. And so, the person will have to notice, that the boundary between arm and hand is made up and totally artificial - it is not "out there" in the real world. Ask the person to determine, where the boundary between outer space and the earth is, precisely? At what point, exactly does the atmosphere end and space begin? Down to an eighth of an inch, where is the boundary? It doesn't exist, does it? No, only as a concept, not in reality. If the person thinks the big bang is real, great; explain, that at the beginning of the big bang, there was only one dense, hot object, which simply expanded ever since. It is still this one object - it simply isn't as dense as it was 13 billion years ago. 4. Explain that because all things aren't what you call them and because all boundaries are only concepts (even seemingly "clear" boundaries), every thing must be one. Don't expect the person to drop his ignorance. If he doesn't want to understand, he won't.

I highly recommend you to watch this video. This topic I think is now more important than ever since about 75 years. Great, great video. Some high quality stuff. The channel "Academy of ideas" is absolutely top notch when it comes to psychology and society.

How so??

Sorry mate, but you missed my point. I can achieve just as much as someone who believes in law of attraction (belief is not very useful, is it?). The things you want to "manifest" will manifest, but not out of thin air or because you simply thought about them. So yeah, it's just your work that brings the desired results into existence, there's absolutely no need to call it some "law of attraction" or to add some meaningless ideas like "universal energy".

There's woo-woo and then there's woo-woo. "Law of attraction" is the useless type of woo-woo. It's a childish fantasy, wishful thinking paired with terms like "vibration" and "universal energy"... "Raise you vibration to align universal energy in order to manifest whatever you wish for!" is a typical LoA thing to say. It's foolish esotericism and nonsense - and I am not saying this from a purely rationalistic perspective.

Best explanation I've come across so far. It's (the act of creation based on) association with ideas that are novel and useful.

The amount of views for many of your newer videos seems to hover somewhere between 40K and 80K views, whereas you now have 1 Mio. subscribers. Is that frustrating? Did you anticipate this development? How do you deal with the fact that much of your new content is watched by less than 10% of your subscribers? With that in mind, what are your plans for Actualized.org?

Without time, everything would go on just the same. Time has the same relationship to process/happening as length has to space. Stop confusing time with change. What lasts? Nothing. (really think long and hard about this one...)

Anybody else get the feeling that it's always the same conversations in this forum only in slightly different packages? There's no point in clashing mere philosophies, if the truth is recognized - for it is not a philosophy.

When I say "reality accepts itself" I don't mean this in the ordinary sense.. (You know, when we say " I am Joe Shmoe and according to my beliefs, desires and needs I either accept or reject the current circumstances"). When I say "reality accepts itself", I mean that in a non-dual way - in other words, there is no possibility for reality not to accept itself. Don't think that reality has any choice to accept or reject itself. There is only acceptance, no matter what. Whatever is, is, and there is no way that something is not. Therefore there is no ways reality couldn't accept itself, because everything is.

In reality, there are no two thing opposed to each other. Where does one thing start and the other thing end? These limits are not real. Equally, the boundaries between pleasure and suffering don't exist. The division between pleasure and suffering is arbitrary. Only because you say so. Why not? You ask: why is there suffering, why does suffering have the right to exist? Suffering doesn't need any right to exist, just like anything else. Existence is prior to reasons.

1 John 4:16 "God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." Just found this one right after John 4:12, this one blew me away
