I was just contemplating on what 'being' is . Came to the realisation that; God is the only being, and there is only only one 'being', I am conscious that I am 'being', therefore I am God, What I am struggling to do next is really understand what that means, the implications of that, and/or, how I should construct my life around that knowledge... Any guidance?

I am really just having fun and playing around, don’t take things too seriously. Serious cult like dynamics going on here...

its only different because you think its different

What's the difference, it's all the same

No, the book is you.

Do you ever feel the need to stop being active on the forum for a while, disengage and just work on your life? Or do you think in your head that being active on a consistent bases on the forum is you working on your life? As in, is your life and energy all centred around you building and growing actualized.org (when I say 'growing' I am referring to you producing more content as opposed to growing your subscribers, I know you have lost an active amount on viewers across the years)? In order to produce something as quality in terms of knowledge and wisdom, (albeit you can be quite arrogant and flippant at times), I assume this as to be at the centre of your consciousness, You being active on the forum consistently is you working towards that? Because you could easily just stop using the forum and just make only YouTube videos? You'll literally be a ghost lol. Back to the question, would you ever leave the forum for a while?

Some good epistemology from V-Sauce... really smart guy

Hi All / Leo, I recently watched Leos episode on 'Why valuable things develop over time', I enjoyed how you explained the importance of escaping wage slavery / how you did it etc. How did you develop yourself, study, understand reality etc, whilst paying rent for where you lived? Did you work a job during your 20s whilst self-actualising? How did you balance survival needs with working on your life purpose?

@Leo Gura How do you think your life would've unfolded if you parents couldn't afford to support you through university and you had to go work some job?

@Leo Gura Depends on how you do it. I am starting my undergrad in Philosophy, Politics and History (a combined course) at a University in London. I will be integrating actualized.org content, your book list, my degree, amongst other things. A part of Philosophy is academic by its very nature as philosophy originally stemmed from the universities. Problem today is that how universities are teaching philosophy is baked with materialist undertones which sucks the spiritual element of philosophy. Philosophy in its truest nature is the best course for personal development in my opinion.

@Leo Gura So just speculation then...

I am conscious this is the wrong section however, the standards of video ideas in the video suggestion section are pathetic. Leo - Can we see if we can get some sort of practical life advice for an individual at each stage of the model. It would compromise of traps to watch out for each stage, career advice, dating advice, Life purpose sort of advice. A new series that is more down to earth, yet still highly advanced. The advanced metaphysical stuff is great however I feel like you can integrate a bit more of the coaching aspect of your psychology much more in your videos. I wouldn't want the video to be framed in a way that you are orientating the video to be some sort of 'How to Awaken at each stage of the Development' sort if video, (even though that is another good suggestion) more of an overall life advice on how to live in a society/city/environment that is at each stage. Or even advice to people that have a currently operating at such stage. Traps to watch out for if your a 'stage green' sorta person for instance. Basically how to actualise the best possible life for an individual in from each stage. For instance: Stage Red - This could be an young teenager living in some stage red country like Afghanistan in the middle east, or some slum in Brazil that wants to learn and develop. Or a an young intelligent female living in Nigeria, that wants to grow, develop and earn a good life living in a stage blue environment, also could mention the likely limitations from being at that stage/ Actualized.org has an international audience and his/your channel is highly orientated to stage orange/stage green audience. Stage Blue - Perhaps a young American raised in a Catholic House hold, or a stage sexually repressed female teenager raised in a stage blue family or that has a stage blue type psychology. Stage Orange - Perhaps a young high energy 20 something year old making £50,000 a year in London wanting to advance and exhaust out stage orange in a healthy manner. How much to integrate career/social life etc. You get the picture. Doing this will help the diverse minority of people that watch/use actualized.org. Whilst simultaneously appealing to the regular audience. Awakening/enlightenment doesn't have to be rushed. Enlightenment at 30, Enlightenment at 60, Enlightenment at 90; whats the difference? I feel like the channel has become to orientated around metaphysics/psychedelics/enlightenment. How about a guide for people that dont want to awaken or have the access to gurus/psychedelics, pay for lots of books, or that perhaps lives in a 3rd world country?. What life advice would you give to someone that was at stage green for instance and didn't want to awaken and simply just live a happy fulfilled life? What about advice for a stage yellow university academic, it would be interesting to hear your tone when you speak to people at of differing stages. Not to assume you have the time to do this, merely just a suggestion.

When you are out in the public and you have interactions with women/general people, and they ask you what do you do for career/work, what do you say? Do the girls you date know about your YouTube channel? How far in getting to know someone do you reveal that you do psychedelics, advance personal development etc? Just curious.

@Leo Gura How do girls react when you show them your YouTube channel and they watch a few of your videos lol?

Prince' Andrews involvement in the Jeffery Epstein case triggered my contemplation in what the royal family represents. What stage of development are the UK family? You would think a high stage blue, perhaps even orange, the royal family represents colonial economic privileges'. They are however conscious that if they were to try dictate government and show bias on social issues the public would be distained by that. Shows some sort of consciousness. I'm not convinced that they would protect Prince Andrew using royal powers in the current Epstein case. If they do it may see this will end of the royal family as a whole. I predict once the Queen dies, the royal family will effectively collapse. The conversation on weather we still need a King/Queen in a 21st Century democracy would be a public question. This sets up the UK for a more liberal government in the future. The Queens death will symbolize the end of an era, and a new identifiable Britain will be 'up for grabs' in a sense. If the Labour Party cleans up house and becomes a viable alternative to the Tories this will only accelerate this Liberal change. Once people are finally conscious that the Tory party are none other than criminals. Once people are tired of being wage slaves, once Tory Corruption is finally shown in the UK public inquiry to the handling of the pandemic, once the Queen passes, once 'Prince' Andrew is in prison, the UK could be a great country to live in if we do it right. (By the way I am not 'Anti-Monarchy', or hate the Queen, nor want her to die before her time. I am also conscious that it could be argued that the Royal Family is only symbolic and there are great culture, tourist and economic benefits of having the queen). I feel like we focus way too much on American politics but nobody ever mentions British or European politics, just goes to show the American Bias in the world. The globe is so American-Centric lol. Can we start some sort of UK Politics Mega thread? Where my Brits at lol?

@aurum Thanks so much, this helps.

Hi All, I am 21 years old and have worked within construction/building services/ and account management, project management in construction for the past 3 years, From September I will however be studying Philosophy, Politics and History part time whilst I continue working. I am also working on a blog that will cover topics on philosophy, politics, society, personal development etc, - not so dissimilar to actualized.org. In the future I hope to not have to be a project manager in building services by day and a philosopher by night, how do I go about transitioning into one field, and synthesising all my experience, degree, knowledge into one career?

I am trying to practise acceptance of myself, and my life situation. Although not material, over the past year I have experience a tremendous amount of personal growth, with of course a lot of ups and downs. Despite this, with nothing being particularly wrong about my life, I am having some trouble living and being at peace with how life is. This includes going back into old bad habits of smoking weed/vaping, not meditating and being quite horny etc. General Lower chakra drives. On an overall level I am still happy at where my life/personal psychology is. How do I over come this state of resistance? Should I just allow this phase to play out? Should accept the period of resistance that I am going through without trying to resist it? I wouldn't say I am having a fall blown ego-backlash, but something of the sort. I still have certain unprocessed trauma/neurosis and mental blockages that need to be attended to I feel like I am at the edge of extreme breakthrough, but just struggling to get over the final hurdles... Any help?

@Virgo Perhaps do an inquiry into why you lost those two jobs, and how you have ended up in this position where you have no savings to fall back on. Just take it easy however, dont stress too much. Glad you have a sense of humour about the situation.

Just for some more context, I have completed my Prince 2 and Agile project management qualifications, and have CertHE in Business and Management. And I have a new Job as an account manager supplying engineers and workers for contractors within the UK. I would like to work on Policy in the future, I am just having issues on bring all the puzzle pieces together.

Sorry Pal, youre screwed. Miami? Budgeting? lmao

Death is infinite consciousness or infinite unconsciousness, same thing really

This is the dumbest debate I have seen. Are you guys 7 years old????

Then go start a blog. Don't see why you need to announce it or need validation. Just go do it.

If reality is infinite, why is it so important to see the bigger picture? Wouldn't there always be a bigger picture? Couldn't the bigger picture always become recontextualised? I am writing an article on 'big picture' thinking for my university project and I have hit a brick wall on why big picture thinking is so important.
