Isn't this literally just like everyone's marketing/selling strategy?

@hyruga Leo Covered this in either part 2 or part 3

Which is why consciousness work exists I feel like this thread can be summed up as: You are throwing away the ladder before you climbed up it. I mean like yeah I will let it all go, but I need to climb up the ladder first!

I've found a trap that many people will probably fall into due to laziness. Consider the possibility that your reality is only as grounded as your maps and your depth of understanding. Just how you are able to think is limited by the words that you are able to use. See this thread: If Leo's videos are the only and/or deepest source or understanding of reality, then you ground your reality solely on the scaffolding that Actualized.org created for you. If you only rely on Leo to ground your insights, then your reality becomes Actualized.org. Which is why you gotta literally look at hundreds of perspectives, and contemplate and derive this stuff for yourself. Be epistemologically rigorous. Direct experience, etc.

YO I just realized that the image is placed upon an political compass

Very insightful thankyou. How to avoid falling for stuff like this?

I feel like this idea exists FUCKING NOWHERE. Like it's super unrepresented. Yet it makes the most sense. I've been intuitively, unconsciously doing this myself. Exercising for health. Doing some kettlebells, eating as much as I need and no more.

This graphic makes so much sense for me, and it seems like an obvious straightforward thing. Is this misleading? Can someone point out to me as to why? What trap am I falling into here?

@The Lucid Dreamer if you can sort the wheat from the chaff please post those titles here!

Putting the palms of your hands over your ears, plugging them, place your index finger over your middle finger and start slamming your index finger into your skull, kind of in a very quick motion using the momentum of the force sliding from your middle finger to your head. Like how you gain momentum when snapping your fingers. Do this about 50 times with your ears completely plugged. You like reset the bass in your ears or something I don't know. But this technique can take away the ringing completely.

@Spence94 Yes! This is why I want to learn Japanese! Because it is so different from English.

@Bernardo Carleial Yes! Going forward I'm going to ask "How I can take this idea deeper? ". --- "Philosophy is just a byproduct of misunderstanding language" "Language gives a picture of the world, but it can't give a picture in how it does that. It would be like seeing yourself seeing something. " This guy sounds like a philosophical badass! Definetly will look into the book, I love going rock bottom deep into philosophy. Thankyou! @hyruga I definetly definetly need to read more books on consciousness, reality, etc to have a bigger set of understanding attached to these words. Much like how the word "survival" has massively expanded in meaning for me because of Leo's videos on survival. Constant new input is totally important, constantly expanding your knowledge network value by adding more and more nodes to the network for more connections to be made is important! I'm starting to see the significance of this now! @bloomer the tool of language is all encompassing! It's hard to see outside of it if that's the only thing you experience. I need to come up with ideas on how to experience reality outside of language altogether... That way I'll have outside reference experience to be able to see language as the tool it is. It really makes me think now. Every time I speak or write it feels like that I'm just simply converting thought into words. How there is a feeling in my head, in my consciousness, and somehow through that feeling I create a network of words to attempt to communicate that feeling. @mandyjw ah I think I know what you're communicating here. You're pointing out the interpretation is different based on what context/meaning you attribute to a word. Kind of like the "how do I know my red is your red" problem. The problem of when I use a certain set of words I'll mean one thing but when you use the same exact set of words you mean a different thing because each individual word was learned from a completely different set of direct experience. Which is responsible for all the misunderstandings that result in our language. Really just pointing out how much of a miracle it is that a language can provide the amount of communication that it does! @lxlichael 100%. Just learning about self improvement to such a degree has allowed me to rearrange my "language furnature" so much that I now automatically default to a positive mindset most of the time. So important to get to a point where you're thinking pure thoughts! Shadow work has got me so far in that direction.

@Vivaldo just reach out to people in the DM's and talk about something they posted or something like that

I've combed through Leo's Blog twice and I can't find a post that posted a video. It was a video of an old man who completely let go of his ego. And his body was an empty husk. I never got to watching it! If anybody knows what video I'm talking about please post it! Thanks.

@Vivaldo the people that I have reached out to on this forum are people that have wrote/posted something that I vibed with.

I totally forgot about this aspect of online dating. Haha screw that crap.

@FlyingLotus Yes! This is it! Thankyou!

Create Practice Routines for Reading Writing And most importantly Speaking Utilize "Bone writing" which is a technique from the book: Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg. Turn that technique into "Bone Speaking" where you just turn on a camera and speak to it for 5,10,20 minutes, an hour, etc. 5-20 mins a day for a month of this technique and you'll find significant growth in your skills.
