    Fucks sake, I keep transcending my neuroticism and achieving liberation, only to fall back in. Whenever I let go, I literally attract what I want but as soon as I cling to them I get taken away. I swear as I've gotten more awake, the law of attraction gets stronger and stronger. This isn't necessarily a good thing since I usually attract negative things.

    Gold also doesn't do anything.

    Gold is actually very useful in electronics engineering and medicine due to it being chemically inert, easy to work and having a high electrical conductivity.

    Even that aside, just the appearance alone makes it valuable for jewellery which is why it has always been historically valuable.

    Bitcoin on the other hand is pretty much useless unless you want to buy drugs on the dark web. Its not a good currency or store for value because the price is so volatile.

    non sense, what you said is exactly what makes him saliant and better, your whole kindness love guru are boring as hell, I want to laugh at "I m the best and I have the biggest dick in the whole world".

    that just makes ego reflect, as long as this type of thing trigger you, YOU AREN T AWAKE.

    why feeling so triggered by ego claims, that's fun, sit down leo is entertainment aswell, you just want to sape the good movies for making them lofty.

    in fact this is EXACTLY the part that makes this stuff truly superior, it's claiming like a fool " I M GOD AND I ME SUPERIOR IN ALL MY WAYS " :D 

    of course if you truly believed  this.... hahaha !!!

    It's not about what I think. I'm pretty ok with Leo's teaching style even though it took while for me to get onboard. When Leo says some of the shit he says, It puts people off the awakening path because they see a snarky bald dude saying he's god. It ruins the image of the nondual and spiritual community and psychedelics in general. 

    This might be entertaining to you but when supposedly awakened people act like this, It may end up stunting the spiritual growth of humanity. Leo has a responsibility to set a good example for spirituality and consciousness work, otherwise this shit will always be seen as a cult and rejected by most.

     

    Also, I just realised you are probably either high or crazy so why did I waste my time replying xD.

    @spiritual memes I agree with you on 'I'm more awakened than you' rhetoric. I don't really like it either, and find it frustrating and irritating/ cringe.

    Regarding the tone, I actually quite like the tone. I think when done well its raw, gritty, provocative and cuts through to listeners.

    Also, this type of tone reminds me of a lot of RSD instructors, and I think its very effective at resonating with people who feel disenfranchised. I think lighter, more friendly communications style don't really get through as well to those sorts of folks imo.

    I think Leo's tone is good for self help but not for advanced spiritual topics. Note that Leo's self help videos were generally very popular.

    @spiritual memes How would you like to see Leo change his image?

    A more compassionate, less snarky tone. Less belittling the audience. Explaining extremely high level spiritual concepts with more nuance that are harder to misinterpret.

     For example, listen to some Alan watts, Ram Dass and Rupert Spira lectures and just note the difference in which they speak use words. That is not to say that Leo should mimic their styles, but its clear that they have something that Leo doesn't. I.e. they can all talk about the same thing but only Leo sounds like a crazy cult leader.

    I know Leo is probably going to dismiss the video as biased and whatnot, and he may be right however there is one clear conclusion that this video and others show: There is a serious problem with Leo's teaching style and demeanour that puts off normal people and even drives away spiritual individuals who want to learn. There are many people who talk about spirituality but only Leo is branded a dangerous cult leader. Actualized has a serious image problem.

    Remember that people make decisions on whether they like someone not on logic but the vibes they give off. When I showed actualized to a super spiritual girl I knew her response was 'Ok this looks dodgy' which is a real shame because she could have benefitted a lot from actualized. There are way more harmful channels that get less hate because they aren't as off putting. As interesting as the content might be, when someone exploring your videos for the first time comes across a 2 hour video on why you're more enlightened than anyone else because you plugged DMT, it's really not a good look. Not just for yourself and actualized but spirituality and psychedelics in general.

    Just as I thought I was making progress, I got hit with a pretty brutal reality check. My life situation is still shit and my subconscious anxieties are as strong as ever. Have I really been making progress? My life has been shit ever since I left university and I'm still unemployed. I've never had a girlfriend or had sex, and all my friends are too busy to talk to me. Part of me feels bad even meeting up with my friends because they've all got their own busy lives while I'm depressed and alone. I'm tired all the time and my habits have gone to shit.

    Quite a few people have messaged me asking for advice about IFS after reading my journal but I feel like a fraud giving others advice since I can barely get my own life together. I have dreams of becoming super spiritually developed and making huge contributions to humanity but I'm just kidding myself. I spend most of my life fantasizing about the person I could become, imaginary relationships with girls that probably don't think about me at all, and a future where I am happy. I guess that's just a coping mechanism.

    I guess I was repressing this frustration with my life. I want to have a positive attitude but its so hard. I feel like I'm kidding myself. Have I really made any progress?
