This is my number 1 reason to speak to Leo directly in person. So many taboo topics I just want to hear what he has to say about it to get to the core of understanding.

Holy shit https://www.actualized.org/insights/the-clown-world-of-looksmaxxing Yeah that is bad. This Clavicular guy has his mind completely corrupted to LOLCOW levels. This example makes it comically clear why people paying you to pedal any ideology will retard your mind. He is a dancing monkey for for attention. Not to mention how much criticizing people's looks for a living will retard your sensemaking processes, and erode your entire self-image. This is the mind that looks like a foot subject to Chinese foot binding. I want to meet people that see my current mind in the same way (like a Chinese-bound foot) so they can point that out to me; so I can learn how to develop into a beautiful mind. But the same problem occurs: How do you point out the deficiencies to the person such that it leads to genuine awareness and raising of consciousness, rather than their mind closing down and retarding itself even more. This is one of the most fascinating aspects of reality, puzzles of reality that I am passionate about engaging with and "solving," which is why I have my life purpose aligned with life coaching, speaking, writing, self-actualization, understanding, etc. Clavicular could EASILY close so many more girls if his mind didn't run like a 4chan thread, and if he had ANY sane pointers on talking to girls. He's got the social proof/fame/money, he just needs experience of not thinking like a total incel when he's talking to these girls. A couple well-integrated concepts around frame would shift him so much. I know if I had got the financial success that rewarded this way of thinking, I would be the EXACT SAME. Literally the only difference for me was the monetary aspect. I had a group of friends that clapped every time I did something "edgy" or "based." I was basically groomed from age 16 to 19 to be a lolcow troll. So I can empathize with him in a unique way. I got out, I was lucky; because I was focused on personal development, I ended up coming to the clarity to drop them all, and I moved on to healthier ways of thinking. Imagine thinking all day along the lines of, "what is the most edgy thing I could say to gaslight this person?" To this day, I can still easily access that shitposting-type thinking. I've just matured past it to see it all as immaturity now. Now it primarily lingers in my sense of humor.

Aight, no worries, I've got better questions for you anyways, just figuring out how to formulate them... Noted. Thankyou.

How did you get to the point of saying that there is none left? How would one know if there if none left? How open would you be to sharing how one would identify and tackle their trauma using psychedelics? Also, what do you attribute the label of 'trauma' to?

Leo, what exactly do you mean by this? What is your definition of trauma? My definition of trauma may be very unique. As an individual that has learned how to desensitize traumas for people. My definition of Trauma is anything that has happened to you in the past that bothers you in the present, typically an emotion that is being held in the body, leading you to have an over-sensitized response to something.

When exactly was this stint?

Jesus Christ one is pretty good

Appreciate it.

I'm more curious about the sound setup

https://www.actualized.org/insights/the-criticism-industrial-complex This makes so much sense Leo. It reminds me of a rule you said was to never demonize any part of reality or anyone. In addition, other things you offhandedly mentioned about the problem of judgment basically retarding your consciousness if I recall correctly. When you criticize and judge, it is done in absence of understanding God's infinitely intelligent creation. Judgment and criticism is antithetical to an attitude of understanding truth. (This is not to neglect the use of discernment either. Discernment is an important distinction to make from judgement.) Truth = Love, so basically if you cannot love that thing, you cut yourself off from understanding its true nature. Anyways, thanks for this post @Leo Gura. It makes me think about how I like to criticize people's understanding and lack of expertise in something and how that makes me feel smart, powerful and wise, without having an awareness of how this attitude towards others can shut me down from an even deeper holistic understanding of others.

For me, the advice that I would give myself around habits is make sure you have strong intent behind every habit as to why you're doing it, otherwise you won't have that buy-in to do it long-term. Oftentimes, having very clearly set goals to help a lot. And then being willing to revisit them every 90 days or so to adjust. I find myself adjusting habits all the time, as I figure out more and more what is actually effective and important for me. Basically make sure what you are committing to makes complete sense so you're not questioning after the third week. Returning to Vision again and again, and chunking down your goals again and again is what will help a lot. Constantly visioning out what your next step is and connecting that to all the steps you need to get to where you want to go. Most importantly though, is to learn how to get back on the horse again and again. Especially maintaining habits in unpredictable lifestyles and in unpredictable environments. I have way too many factors of unpredictable environments that mess my habits up all the time.

Thankyou for sharing this Leo.

Invest in desensitizing and reprocessing all trauma. Invest in your relationship to truth. Investing your ability to contemplate. Invest in daily practice of being funny. Invest in approaching new people all the time so you meet a few hundred new people per month at least. To create a really awesome life it looks like everyday being remarkably intentional and scheduled and focused. I like the idealized version of a monk but living in a modern world of survival. Distraction is going to be your biggest enemy. See Leo's episode on distraction. What's going to really actually motivate you to really focus and say no to absolutely everything that is not your highest priority is to deeply connect with the importance of it. See Leo's video: motivational speech Oct 2021 Get insanely fucking clear on what your goals are and what they are not. What your life purpose is. What your values are and how that actually looks like in practice of alignment. I have been motivated to write up a post discussing how you really get Leo's life purpose course working for you. Oftentimes I have found people's experience of the life purpose course to be lackluster because they lack the ability to implement and the ability to revisit and recontemplate how does all these new insights apply. I still consider myself an absolute noob with this stuff, so even just writing that post will help further Clarity for myself. My goals in my life: ⭐ Top 5 Goals in Life 1️⃣ Awakening to God - Love, Truth, Intelligence 2️⃣ Bestselling Self-help Author 3️⃣ World Class Motivational Speaker 4️⃣ World-renowned Life-Coach and Therapist 5️⃣ Master of Socialization - Building Connection - Charisma - Sales - etc. Sense of Humor included

Thankyou for sharing. Profound.

I appreciate this writing here. It is serving as a reminder of the power of visualization. Alongside the mindfuckey nature of reality that I can just spawn a planet into consciousness. @Lazarus93 Also, beautiful post altogether. You really captured what I understand at an intellectual level, and what I have become conscious of in peak moments ( in facets) across several of my trips.

Can confirm.

Leo I want you to know that I'm one of the insane individuals that actually deeply appreciates your content so much that I want to 100% actualize.org like I'm collecting all the hidden flags of assassins creed brotherhood. I actually wanted to make a post asking what to prioritize and also how to realistically create time for it all.

@integral My mother worked in Hospice. What's most important is just having those end of life conversations. Making sure you make peace with whatever while the opportunity still exists.

ZenSwift liked this decision.

To clarify, it's book 3 under Meditation & Yoga Techniques section? Just bought it now.

All this mentioning of pranayama, and I'm still in the dark around exactly what the practice entails.

I've got a crash-out letter I wrote a few weeks ago that I want to clean up and post here.

https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-341 Hey Leo, I've been having a desire to cultivate a Kriya practice. Especially since you have preached a bit about it being a powerful practice. I've been neglecting the discipline of learning the techniques, believing in it, and then doing the practices religiously. It's been tougher to hook my mind with it especially since it's more of a long term investment thing. My initial thought is to contemplate this further and deeply connect it with my values, and then just bite the bullet and do an experiment of practicing consistently for 6 months to a year and see my results, which is easier said than done. Do you have any other suggestions for really building a practice? More specifically, getting my mind to see the value of it such that the commitment to it becomes obvious?
