Yes, it's true. Everything is true, even lies

Living is the most deadly thing you'll ever do... lol Listen to Sadhguru, give yourself time to adapt, both emotionally and physically, to your new life circumstances. Us humans have the most extraordinary ability to adapt to our ever changing environment, only when we resist this change will pain persist. Life never stops, never stands still, when you believe it so then problems will arise.

You're either serious about it or not

@Dante Believe it or not, women just flow into my experience. I meet women. I don't "game" them or "pick them up". I would only feel such a need if there's a lack of abundance in my love life in the first place. The obsession with sex and women with a lot of these PUA guys just puts a sour taste in my mouth. But hey, each to his own.

Hahah good first post bro, are you the guy doing the interview?

I swear, 95% of these PUA guys give off such a fake, douchy vibe. I can imagine what kind of women these kind of guys attract

Get yourself lobotomized, it's going to be the new nose job

I know it was a big fad under some A and B-list celebrities a few years ago, like Madonna and Britney Spears. Dunno if they are still into it, probably not

Emotions follow thought. Without thought there can be no emotions

Yes, it's quite easy to gain weight as a vegan. Of course, it's most important to eat foods you actually like to eat. Don't eat foods because people tell you they help you gain weight. The most easiest way to get in the most amount of calories will always be eating the foods you enjoy eating, simple. Having said, there are vegan foods that will stuff you up because of the high fiber content as fiber fills up the stomach with increased volume. Especially vegetables and whole grain products will have a lot of fiber in them. An easy way to get in calories will be to make smoothies with fruit and maybe add in some sugar for extra calories. Also you can eat white pasta/white rice/white bread, these will fill you up less than the whole grain variants.

Is Matt Kahn the older, less attractive brother of Elijah Wood?

Why would you want to become enlightened?

I think people should be careful not to mistake having no free will with being a victim of your circumstances. It's very easy to say, well fuck it, I have no free will anyway, might as well let it all go to shit. The no free will thing is a thought provoking concept to make you question yourself and your beliefs, but ultimately having no free will is just another belief. Only if you are at a certain level of enlightenment can you truly grasp what it means to have no free will and what it means in your own experience of reality.

Your life is going to be a total drag if you try to formulate it like this(imo). State your goals and desires, and go with the flow man.

Id' rather go down with my own vision than the vision of some stupid dice role, that's just weak and cowardly. Just make a decision and stand for it 100%, even if you accidentally blow up the world. Fuck it, at least it was your decision. Living consciously is way more fun than letting external circumstance decide your fate, well most of the time anyway. Just have to stop being scared of committing to your actions.

Your whole life is basically a daydream, you just don't realize it yet. Visualization can help put your daydream more into focus. The reason most people don't act on their visualizations is because they belief their current daydream to be 'real', and their visualization just a dream. But you are the one creating your reality, every second of every day. You can change your whole life in a snap of a finger if you loosen your grip on what you think is 'real'. Most people never get to that point though.It's simple. not easy.

Believe in as much as you want except the things that hinder your happiness in your life.

They can work if you don't have any limiting beliefs that would negate your affirmations. Your beliefs always win.

The present is just as much an illusion as past and future

Go for it gramps

My most effective sleeping habit ever is: Sleep when sleepy, wake up when rested

I don't give much of a crap of style nowadays anymore, even though I still know all the fashion etiquette of do's and don'ts lol. But back in the I used to watch this channel in Youtube called Alpha M(the guy is called Aaron Marino). All the men's fashion advice you ever need is on there.

Don't let people convince you you have Autism or Asperger or something, most likely you don't. That's just a cop out. A lot of intelligent people have your problem, they have an easy time talking about things they are comfortable with. Whether it be there profession, news, their interests etc. But when they have to ad-lib a conversation they become weirded out because they are unsure where to go with it. There aren't any anchors in their mind they can normally go to, so they draw a blank. I think your problem is that you are too critical about the things you say, and this can become a downward spiral fast. You are a bit unsure > you say something "stupid" > you become even more unsure. You have to learn to let your thoughts go in random conversations, you have to know there aren't any right or wrong answers in casual conversations. Casual conversations are about expression and connection, it's not about being wrong/right or smart/less smart, it's about fun. Start meditating, stop judging yourself for what comes out of your mouth, start having fun with it. Even if people think you don't sound smart or something, fuck that. In the bigger picture, people care most that you authentically express yourself, they don't care about the cold, factual content of your words.

In a meditative state your brain will be less attached to sounds. It will make less assumptions about the sounds by reducing the amount of cross referencing between other songs, so it's easier for the brain to differentiate the different layers in a musical composition which is playing in the 'present'. The ego thrives on patterns, so much that it tries to make a pattern out of itself(which is the 'I').

-A lot of people seem to think 'consciousness' is some ghost that is flying all around us that is seeing what 'we' are seeing. -People judging other people for being of "low consciousness" LOL -An "Enlightened being" has become some kind of mythical superhero status, especially here on actualized.org lol -The advice of "You just have to let go"(I have been guilty of this one lol). This phrase only makes sense for someone who has actually let go, for someone who is full on attached to their believes it doesn't make much sense.
