Skip all the other texts next time. Don't flirt over text— at all. Send her 1 text— just like you’d send to a guy friend. ”Hey what are you up to Wednesday around lunch?” The rest will work itself out. Leave 0 room for interpretation— that’s where you fucked up. Texting is for logistics— especially when someone doesn’t know you. — She’ll respond 1 of 2 ways: 1: “Idk kind of busy.” 2: “I think I’m free, I'm not sure yet.” You’ll rarely get a direct ‘No’ which is exactly why you don’t try and flirt over text like you were. She didn’t ’not want to admit’ anything and wasn’t expressing interest or disinterest. She doesn’t know you at all— so she can’t. Don’t try to interpret girls or worry about how they’re interpreting you over text. Just make plans. You can literally ignore everything else. Isn’t that super attractive and easy? Honest too. — So, respond: “I’d like to get coffee and go on a walk or something. Let me know if you’re interested.’ Boom, lock in the time and text her day of to confirm. No more— no less. Everything that will happen will happen in person. Texting should remain minimal. — The problem is you’re thinking. Do you think this hard making plans with everyone? Or just cute girls? — Everybody flirts with them. — Be different. Stand out. — Just. Make. Plans. — Respect her time. — Game is games. Plans are plans.

Recognizing you imagine imagination is one of the most powerful things you can do.

@Bufo Alvarius @Ishanga Yeah… no. The ‘onlyness’ is actual alone. You guys individually create all of reality. We don’t exist unless you let us and we exist as you imagine. ’But how can we both be imagining it all?!’ You don’t. You’re alone. You’re imagining the other imagining the other imagining the other imag—- You’re imagining. And if you’re not, you’re imagining that too.

@UnbornTao Realizations are not experiences?

@UnbornTao Conversation isn’t for understanding, though. It is signaling. People should share their experiences, no?

@Davino Yes?

It’s a reminder to ourselves and others. In this sense, there is no ‘trying.’ Something is accomplished. Trying involves expectations. Doing does not.

Awakening is whatever you think it is. Sounds like if you managed your emotions better, you’d have awakenings but there is no ‘awakening’ in general or only one awakening. You can awaken to ‘oneness,’ God, Love, etc. And if those are goals, go right ahead. Awakening needs direction or indirection— but consciously. Your post has already set you up for this. Spend any amount of time working on your emotions and I’ll bet my life savings you get micro-awakenings within a few hours and larger ones throughout time, with consistency— emotional awakenings, specifically.

God is a human construct based around control. Whatever qualities you assign to God you assign to yourself and subsequently Reality. Less is more. No amount of qualities will equate to reality. For every quality you assign to God or Reality, you must assign an equal but opposite quality; infinite regress. Every quality (including Consciousness, Infinity, Love, etc.) has an opposite. Lack of quality has an opposite. The qualities themselves exist nondualistically and CAN be explained. The dualities they then reside in cannot. Reality, from a perspective, is dualistic and opposing and will always feel like a battle. — Edit: You are God, though. Can’t escape that. Who else would be in charge? Just because the entanglement between God and Reality and understanding is inarticulable doesn’t mean the individual concepts do not exist. God is control and that control is You. You could very easily assign your lucid dream characters authority— if you realize that authority is your’s to give. It’s not like you’re God AND you’re not in charge haha. One or the other.

Ironically, the value of these ‘worthless conceptual battles’ is realizing they’re worthless. Nobody here has described reality. You can’t. And trying should be offensive.

Solipsism is a human idea. Infinity is a human idea. God is a human idea. And much more. All human explanations are falsehoods. Individual statements can be true. Explanations cannot; they can lead and are purely referential.

@Inliytened1 If everything takes place within infinity, and infinity takes place within itself— it is limited to itself, resulting in a paradoxically finite nature. Infinity implies too much. Reality isn’t actually infinite or finite. Notice how if you recognize reality’s endlessness it immediately limits itself to that.

@Inliytened1 No one and nothing. Edit: no one; no person; not a single person. nothing; not anything; no single thing.

No one will be able to explain any of this. No one has control. There is no God. There is no Godhead. There is no mind. No consciousness. No words. No nothing.

I’m wondering if any of you have mentioned Actualized to people you know and how that went. — I have mentioned it before and described the videos, forum, etc. but never mentioned it by name. I mentioned it recently to someone close, thinking maybe it could help a relative. Again, not by name. They asked me to send them a video and said try it with the relative as well. I am worried I shared too much. They could have a number of negative reactions to the content, especially the relative. Does this make sense? It will probably be a much tamer outcome than I am currently imagining. I am still curious on others experiences.

@ExploringReality r u ok

I don’t believe in solipsism; I recognize it.

Well, at the moment, my true nature has to poop. And it might just be temporary but— right now, it’s very, very real. Edit: Well said. Don’t mind my crude humor.

It’s not about distorting Truth. It’s about packaging it for the masses and considering the ROI. Leo could remain harsh and probably awaken a small group of people very quickly. In the process, thousands will break. Alternatively, if he softens his approach a bit, there might be a broader swath of people that make more incremental improvements while subsiding larger irreparable damage to more sensitive psyches. It’s also one thing to have context awareness with different people on the forum or in an interview but I think it has been especially responsible of Leo to consider this style of harsh framing in more public contexts, like one of his actual videos that millions may see. There is a reason why Leo has endless disclaimers and has for awhile.

“Well, I stand up next to a mountain And I chop it down with the edge of my hand Well I pick up all pieces and make an island Might even raise a little sand Yeah“

It’s like being your own poltergeist. Edit: a poltergeist isn’t exactly what I thought. I was thinking of an old board game ‘Talisman.’ In the game, the poltergeist sticks to your back and reduces movement, etc. You must cross the river to rid yourself of it. I guess it reminds me of a parasite or something. The body is like a parasite that hosts itself.

Maybe I enjoy leaving my body, specifically to type. 😄

@Inliytened1 I can do whatever I want, however I want, thanks.

@Inliytened1 the same

@Inliytened1 Yes, what about it?
