    @blueberries I agree but his videos excessively demonize the Biden administration while defending Trump and saying he was actually right so its hard to say that he's not a Trump supporter.

    If Russell brand wanted to bring people together, he would interview leftists as well but he exclusively interviews and defends right wing people and his viewers have become more increasingly right wing.

    Knowledge of any finite domain requires experience and study. It never comes automatically just because you're spiritual or experienced in other domains.

    This is domain-specific knowledge.

    You're not gonna know engineering unless you study engineering. Nothing else will substitute for that.

    I agree. However, even people with a high level understanding of politics like Don Beck for example, can be right wingers and support Trump. Its kinda crazy considering his knowledge and experience.

    I came across this video where Aaron Abke has an interview with Jesse Lee Peterson - A far right youtuber and radio host. Aaron is a pretty advance spiritual teacher and he tries to explain nonduality and spirituality to Jesse however, his words get twisted to fit the right wing agenda. Its clear that jesse has no idea what Aaron is talking about because his mind is far too closed. I was surprised to see someone as spiritually advanced as Aaron even on this show, and at certain points in the interview he shows some pretty strong right wing opinions about abortion, vaccines, gender, etc.

    It's worth a watch just to see that even spiritual masters can have some pretty conservative views.

    i think LOA is more like getting out of your own way. People tend to think negatively, catastrophize, etc.; LOA gives you a reason, a security blanket, to let go of holding yourself back.

    Yeah I've noticed that i defninitely get in my own way a lot. However, some of the synchonicities I get are really weird. For example, I've been stressing about my career and future all week and my job search was going terribly. today went for a walk and decided to completely change my mindset and let go of outcomes. As soon as I got home, I recieved an email about an interview update from my potential dream job. it's too suspicious to just be random chance.

    I've noticed that my state of mind seems to affect outcomes in some pretty crazy ways. For example, if i am neurotically fixated on an outcome, the outcome will be delayed or won't happen due to unexpected events beyond my control. Likewise, when I completely let go of an outcome and am just happy with the present moment, new opportunities will suddenly arise. I am normally quite skeptical about the universe somehow helping me but there have been too many synchronicities that it's hard to ignore. Since becoming more mindful and doing more spiritual work, the effect of the law of attraction has only gotten stronger.

    I am aware that It could just be a result of my perception and actions, however, some of the synchonicities are pretty much impossible for my actions to affect. It seems like the universe is winking at me every time it happens.

    So is the law of attraction more metaphysical and spiritual or just a bunch of feedback loops in a complex system?

    She’s now a moderator in Nahm’s forum.

    Yeah I know, but that forum is somehow more toxic than actualized. Most of the activity is just hating on Leo or spirituality with more culty undertones. The most popular thread is the one laughing about how Leo got molested which is kinda low.

    I still visit there when I want to detox from Leo's teachings. Many of their critiques of Leo are legitimate but its clear he's living rent free in their heads.

    The site has some really good spiritual advice and has much less of the toxic masculinity that actualized has. It just turn to shit whenever the topic is actualized.org

    Yeah, I'm much more open minded towards progressive values and politics, but I still have a sense the entire political system is broken and a shift to community living is where the solution is, not in large scale leftist governments.

    Here I've dropped any sense of judgment towards gays, trans people etc, I see that everyone is just doing their best and I am no position to understand or dictate how other people ought to live.

    The men here seem to be much more intune with their femininity, so that's something I'm hoping will rub off on me so I can become a more integrated person 

     

    Looks like you've grown a lot! well done and good luck for the future!

    I agree with you,

    My main point is that this hypermasculine self guru,

    Exploits feelings of inadequacy to sell you their product while denoucing inner work too.

    If you follow these gurus, you will feel inadequate no matter what you do.
