Awesome episode Leo. One of your best. Glad to see you back in the saddle.

Ketamine is becoming very popular, so here’s a go-to thread to discuss it and other dissociatives (PCP, DCK, 2-FDCK, DXM, etc). Ketamine is widely used to treat depression, but that doesn’t mean all dissociatives are good for healing and consciousness raising. Keep in mind that all of them can lead to addiction. The purpose behind using these substances is consciousness raising not just tripping recreationally. Questions, tips, techniques, trip reports are all welcome.

If you login you can play the dream killer videos and read a write up here: https://www.actualized.org/myproducts/newsletter-bonus #1 Fear of Failure The Truth: So your proposed alternative is settling for mediocrity? Life is not as simple as you think. There is rarely true failure. Sure, there is no guarantee that your next business venture will succeed, but you are discounting the valuable insights and progress you'd make even if you failed in the short-term. You're looking at failure in a completely unresourceful and limiting way. Failure is how the best people in the world succeed. You fail, fail, fail... then you get success. #10 Fear of Success The Truth: It depends on what you mean by success. I'm talking about feelings — the ultimate goal. You have no idea how much better you can feel when you're living a fully engaged life. It's not a matter of having more money or a prestigious position. When you're on purpose and living your vision, you will feel a deep sense of pride, satisfaction, joy, excitement, and gratitude. Your fear of death will melt away. These are the greatest feelings in the world and cannot be bought with any amount of money. This level of success IS much more than it's cracked up to be. If you're just after money, then you're probably right, it won't be that fulfilling. As far as stress goes, 95% of stress depends completely on your inner game, not external circumstances. There are many ways to deal with stress.

Happy Birthday Leo 🥳 🎂 🤯 ♾️ 💖!!

Did you know that every 11 years Easter falls on 4/20, and 4/20 is Hitler's birthday!! I learned that from a stoned guy.

Thanks @Nemra!

A google powered search bar can always be found in the first pinned topic of the "Personal Development -- [Main]" forum.

@Princess Arabia Leo actually made a follow up video that addresses a lot of this stuff. I think his follow up video is better than the original. https://www.actualized.org/insights/extra-insights-about-good-intentions I also made a summary of it years ago that might interest you:

Lemon tek makes shrooms more potent because you're absorbing the psilocin directly. Taking it on an empty stomach also makes it stronger. Eating makes shrooms less potent because the digestion process is slower. The shrooms will be competing with food for absorption. Eating a little bit can be good for masking the taste of the shrooms. Lemon tek doesn't taste too bad but it's still shroomy. If you're eating, it's best to chop or grind it up so that it absorbs well.

Lemon tek is the best method. Lots of videos about it on Youtube.

Thanks everyone!! Glad you find it helpful. I noticed a few posts can't be found by Google. Not sure why. Takes one to know one

Hey everyone, I created a search bar for Leo’s blog that you can find here. There’s also a “Blog Quote Roulette” button that will take you to a random quote from Leo’s blog. The “Back to Index” button will take you to the blog index here on the forum. The search bar is powered by Google. It’s just wrapped up in some CSS so that you don’t have to keep retyping stuff. You should still read his post on how to search the blog using google. Enjoy!

Some notes on the search bar: • The “Blog Quote Roulette” button will take you to a random quote from Leo’s blog. • You should still read the post on How To Search This Blog using google. eg: site:actualized.org/insights/ “Fat Leo” (Make sure there’s a space between “/insights/” and what you’re searching for.)

You're welcome

I’m not too sure. Maybe he means being very forward like this.

I heard a story from a guy who worked with Jack Black. He was tasked with driving actors to set. One day while he was driving Jack to set, he complimented him on the sunglasses he was wearing. Jack thanked him, took the sunglasses off, and told the driver that he could have them. The driver ended up keeping the glasses on his dashboard for good luck. He said Jack was a great guy to work with, very funny and genuine, both on and off camera. Jack Black’s music and performance skills are at a high enough level where you’d have to work really hard and not just coast on natural talent. When you’re hard working and good at developing what you’ve got, that makes you very confident. You know you can deliver the goods, and nobody can take that away from you because it's hard earned. The fact that his appeal doesn’t depend on being young and pretty probably makes him more comfortable with himself compared to other Hollywood hotties.

One of my favourite early episodes. The "Fuck You" part made me laugh out loud.
