Real vs Fake Spirituality A concise reference guide 1. Lecture Aim & Context Show the core difference between genuine, truth‑oriented practice and “spiritual‑flavoured” self‑deception. Help you spot wrong approaches in yourself, teachers and communities. Challenge extreme relativism without sliding into dogma. 2. Working Definition of Real Spirituality Purpose: realise directly that mind imagines all of reality and see through that illusion. Driven by ruthless personal inquiry and epistemic rigour. Leads to full sovereignty of mind—recognising your mind as the creative “God‑Mind”. Requires radical self‑reflection and eventual dissolution of the finite ego (not physical suicide). 3. The Relativism Trap “Anything goes” fails real‑world tests (e.g. Nazi mysticism, child‑beating madrasas). Therefore a structural core to authentic practice exists, despite technique diversity. 4. How Mind Creates Illusion Default human state: unquestioned projection and survival‑biased fantasies. Deep inquiry shows the rabbit hole goes all the way—entire cosmos is imagined. 5. Deconstructing Self & Survival “Self” = story, personality, desires—built to aid survival. True practice makes every survival impulse conscious, then transcends it (Animal → Human → God). 6. Markers of Fake / Corrupted Spirituality Survival in spiritual costume (sex, money, fame, luxury, power). Belief, authority, tradition, community attachment, moral crusading. Commercialisation, influencer branding, emotional escapism, political agenda. Using practice only to “feel good” or cope, not to face reality. 7. What Spirituality Is NOT 8. Genuine Practice Blueprint Adopt complete not‑knowing; question every assumption. Rely on direct experience only. Maintain constant mindfulness in daily life. Engage in deep solo inquiry (long silent retreats, serious psychedelic sessions, shadow work). Cut addictions/distractions; create space for sitting in solitude and “dying of boredom”. Develop full epistemic responsibility—trust no authority, including your own biases. 9. Reframing Prayer (Example) Common plea (“Heal my child”) = egoic survival request. Authentic prayer: “Grant me courage to face reality as it is and release attachment to outcomes.” 10. Final Orientation Goal is intimate love of raw Being/God, not escapism. Joy arises when self‑concern dissolves; mundane life is seen as divine hallucination (Maya). Requires decades of disciplined honesty and willingness to dismantle every comforting illusion. “If your practice doesn’t satisfy you when you sit alone in silence, it’s just another distraction.”

Tom Riddles Diary These are simple server-client programs I wrote in python drawing inspiration from copying this guide with the addition of this library for a few functions. I call it "Tom riddles diary" and it can be used to train magic to mastery in more ways than one, as I shall demonstrate in the coming weeks, and eventually months. #SERVER import socket import threading import pynput from pynput.keyboard import Key, Controller keyboard = Controller() PORT = 5050 SERVER = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()) ADDR = (SERVER, PORT) HEADER = 64 FORMAT = 'utf-8' DISCONNECT_MESSAGE = "!DISCONNECTED" server = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) server.bind(ADDR) def handle_client(conn, addr): print(f"[NEW CONNECTION] {addr} connected.") connected = True while connected: msg_length = conn.recv(HEADER).decode(FORMAT) if msg_length: msg_length = int(msg_length) msg = conn.recv(msg_length).decode(FORMAT) if msg == DISCONNECT_MESSAGE: connected = False print(f"[{addr}] {msg}") if msg == "Key.space": print(msg) keyboard.type("\\") if msg == "<49>": #print(msg) keyboard.type("1") if msg == "<50>": #print(msg) keyboard.type("2") if msg == "<51>": #print(msg) keyboard.type("3") conn.close() def start(): server.listen() print(f"[LISTENING] Server is listening on {SERVER}") while True: conn, addr = server.accept() thread = threading.Thread(target=handle_client, args=(conn, addr)) thread.start() print(f"[ACTIVE CONNECTIONS] {threading.activeCount() -1}") print("[STARTING] SERVER IS STARTING...") start() #CLIENT import socket import pynput from pynput.keyboard import Key, Listener HEADER = 64 PORT = 5050 FORMAT = 'utf-8' DISCONNECT_MESSAGE = "!DISCONNECT" SERVER = #localIPaddress ADDR = (SERVER, PORT) client = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) client.connect(ADDR) def send(msg): message = msg.encode(FORMAT) msg_length = len(message) send_length = str(msg_length).encode(FORMAT) send_length += b' ' * (HEADER - len(send_length)) client.send(send_length) client.send(message) #print(client.recv(2048).decode(FORMAT)) def on_press(key): msg =("{0}".format(key)) send(msg) def on_release(key): if key == Key.esc: return False with Listener(on_press=on_press, on_release=on_release) as listener: listener.join()

What's a Super Mod, and why don't we have any? Are members P3 and L4 retired mods and people with warning points? Also, @FlyingLotus is the only member plus account, what's that?

Feels warm, like stepping into sunlight after a lifetime underground, unseen, unheard, invisible. All men appreciate a genuine smile.

Bro, she's so into you, I saw her last week while wearing the psy vision goggles I invented. She's playing hide and seek, I couldn't catch her for you though, we need a slutterby net, any ideas? I know the strings need to be somewhat loose and laced with fun, the braiding cant be too tightly wound. She needs to feel like she has a chance for escape, but that's all I've come up with so far.

https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-266 LLM scientists have known since 2020. Tech bros are a different breed. https://www.actualized.org/insights/my-game-awakening Play in and of itself won't attract the feminine. Consider the running theme in "pickup content" the idea of women "testing" men. Often framed as shit tests. This isn't being done out of malice, as men typically interpret it. Women test men, not for sadistic pleasure (although that certainly does occur), but to FEEL them. The nuance here is understanding that she wants to empathically FEEL where you are strong, where you are weak and where you show potential internally. Through this process, she develops a holistic sense of "you" as a man and will then be attracted to that entire dynamic or not. This process takes time for deep attraction to develop, and is facilitated by PLAY over some amount of time. Some elements of play are attractive as she can FEEL within the capacity to play certain qualities that are assets over a man who can't. Either due to insecurities, a lack of attunement, or some other unhealthy limitations, as described, so yes, being able to play is crucial; however, it's not what actually generates attraction. https://www.actualized.org/insights/the-distinction-of-real-spirituality Real spirituality facilitates your capacity for developing various integrities and structural reinforcements to your "presence" as a man that can make you very attractive in specific dimensions. Still, the nuanced point that must be groked here is that this isn't about becoming stronger as an ego as pickup subcultures imply ... the feminine can FEEL this subtle (or not so subtle) narcissism. It won't be attracted to it if she's healthy and has integrated a healthy feminine energy, of course. Also note, if you wanna PLAY all the time, she'll FEEL that you're just a boy, so try not to overdo it. But if you're trying too hard not to play, she'll feel that too.

Mourning. She settled upon me as dew in the early morning fields of tenderness. My world shifted an inch as she raised her head, the fluttering of her lashes rousing birds warmly nested within. Her glance pierced me as the golden rays of dawn beckoned all that was natural to summon itself from dreary slumber. Her fingers twinkled in the dewdrop's delicate retreat from the impressions they imparted. Sparrows stretched their wings and quickly leapt downward, with a soft fearlessness. She drew me out and folded me away. My heart mourns. It mourns the loss of late-night driving and walking with you hand in hand, Out into the wide yonder of foreverywhere, where dreams are birthed and all that is false goes to die. It mourns lazy afternoons with you, tucked away in a mundane corner of the world, Etching out something of such little and profound consequence, Before eating a meal together, watching a film together, and then falling asleep together, back into foreverywhere. In here. Where a knotted pulse unwinds and the soul finds reprieve from all its transgressions. Wounded teardrops falling like rain to nourish newborn dreaming. Pain pours out of me as I sink into peaceful loving.

This seems to be the prevailing sentiment. (I didn't include too many instances where people repeat themselves, because it's a bit repetitive)

Jesus Christ. Who would be retarded enough to be a spiritual leader? I guess if you're gonna do the time, you may as well do the crime.

What is this thread, holy fuck. The first response nailed it.

This horse freed itself from the panopticon prison that is social media. Millennial aura. I view this as a problem for spiritual pursuit as well. If people can't develop a connection with their own authenticity,experience, and growth out of fear the icky bits will be immortalized online, how the hell are they even going to begin the process of transcending themselves, let alone developing into like ... stable functioning ego's with genuine friends and connections.

Currently recovering from some kind of virus that's punched me in the guts. My diet is the worst aspect of my health and really needs work, so I'm going to work on dialling it in over the coming months/year. I've stopped eating red meat almost entirely, but still eat chicken and occasionally fish. I work 30-40hours a week in a labour intensive job, and am studying physiotherapy full time (Finally found my groove!). I have really struggled in the past to get my energy needs through vegetarian and vegan diets, although I only managed to experiment with them for a few months. I only drink alcohol on special occasions, and am prone to binge when that happens >.< but it's not a part of my regular life anymore. I chew nicotine gum, especially if I have a super early start to a day, or if I am sleep deprived, for a dopamine kick. In an ideal world, I would sleep enough, and when I am a qualified physio, it should be great! However, life isn't ideal, and I need to push forward over the next two years. For today, though, just some manuka honey, easily digestible bread and eggs... Ai summary of manuka honey health benefits (of course, the fructose is less than ideal) Mānuka Honey: Why It’s Special & How to Use It What makes mānuka honey different? Botanical origin: Produced by bees foraging on New Zealand/Australian Leptospermum scoparium; nectar rich in DHA that ripens into methylglyoxal (MGO). Grading systems: UMF™: Tests MGO, DHA, leptosperin, HMF; higher numbers (UMF 15+, 20+) = stronger, verified purity. MGO rating: Prints direct MGO mg/kg (e.g. MGO 263 ≈ UMF 10). MPI certification: NZ’s Ministry for Primary Industries uses five chemical markers + DNA to block counterfeits. Evidence‑backed health uses Wound & burn care (topical) – Strong evidence: Medical‑grade dressings speed debridement, curb Staph & Pseudomonas, and shorten healing of burns, diabetic ulcers, pressure injuries. Antibacterial / antibiofilm – Moderate evidence: Lab + early human work shows activity against antibiotic‑resistant S. aureus, H. pylori, and stubborn biofilms. Digestive health – Early human data: 2024 pilot trial: daily intake eased GERD symptoms and balanced gut microbiota. Anti‑inflammatory & antioxidant – Preliminary evidence: Phenolics scavenge free radicals and dampen inflammatory pathways in small studies. Potential anticancer activity – Pre‑clinical only: Extracts slowed estrogen‑positive breast‑tumour growth in mice; no human trials yet. Why these effects occur High MGO (~100–800 mg/kg) damages microbial proteins/DNA. Low water + high sugar osmolarity dehydrates microbes and draws lymphatic fluid into wounds. Acidic pH (~3.4–4.5) hinders bacterial enzymes and boosts oxygen release for tissue repair. Plant polyphenols & leptosperin add antioxidant and immune‑modulating actions. How to choose & use it safely Topical care: Use sterile medical‑grade gels/dressings (often UMF 15+ / MGO 400+); follow clinician advice. Oral use: Typical wellness dose = 1–2 tsp (5–10 g) of UMF 10+ daily; higher grades cost more without proven extra benefit. Check authenticity: Look for UMF™ seal, MGO number, or MPI batch code—if it’s cheap, it’s probably fake. Watch the sugar: ~80 % sugars; people with diabetes should count the carbs. Infants < 12 months: Avoid all honey (botulism risk). Allergy & drug interactions: Start cautiously if allergic to bees/pollen; high‑dose warfarin users should speak to their doctor. Bottom line Mānuka honey has solid evidence for topical wound‑healing and antimicrobial use thanks to its high MGO content. Early research hints at gut, anti‑inflammatory, and anticancer benefits, but larger human trials are needed. Always pick certified UMF‑ or MGO‑labelled jars and treat mānuka as a complementary aid, not a cure‑all.

I have a bachelor's degree in nutrition science. I don't like talking about nutrition because people tend to be very sensitive about it and a lot of 'nutrition science' is murky and biased. It's very important though, and I need to dial in my diet to max out. Enter bro science. Not actually recommended.

It's a nebulous concept brother.
