@Harry @Mal Thank you for your amazing replies. It's uncanny how much can you read and listen about this stuff and still when it comes to you be deceived.

In an un-aware state the ego is driving you to self destruction. How can such a thing exist?

@Emerald Wilkins It's funny i think evolution is trying to get rid of us by this very subtle mean. Thank you for your reply, it's indeed useful and profound : ) I also liked you video very much! @Corte It's a beautiful way of thinking about the opposite positions of the self

I've recently broken up, and now I realize that I was actually very needy, because I'm having a very hard time to let go. Im also drowning in dramatic self pity. First question, How does a fully actualized person feel when breaking up? How to know that you are not entering another dependant realtionship?

You are very wise, and I really love your way of thinking. Thank you so much everyone

@Elton Is it acceptable to take some time to heal, or is a self pity deception that will actually turn out longer than expected?

We always hear how the the let go of control is liberating and lets us go with life more freely. How come a bum isn't being liberated by letting go?

First of all let me say how much i appriciate our community Also I would like to raise a debate about the possible effects of belonging to such a forum as ours. Would you say it's advantageous to have many people agree with you on your thoughts constantly? Let's look at it like that. A student has a question of a spiritual nature, what would the master say to him? Of course he would say something like "go wash your bowl" He's trying to raise the student's doubt, cause that the way to break through to truth. Should we create a place where surely everyone agree and make you sure of your believes?

What methods have you tried so far? The first and the most powerful is self acceptance (have you seen the new video?) love and accept fully the one sitting there who's not good enough and can't do anything right. I assume you've been beating youreslf up about it and as you can see. "Yourself" doesn't like to forced just like any other person Second of all I would suggest affirmations. For example: I'm successfull I'm doing everything right I'm the best there is Watch Leo's video and sit daily for 5 or 10 minutes repeating them, even outloud in front of a mirror. Also, don't say I'm lazy it's a mentality on which one isnt taking responsibility and blaming his laziness. Also, the thing you're saying about forgetting stuff and being out of focus, it appears like a symptom of increased mind chatter. Meditate to silence that and be focused at doing tasks Good luck, I hope to see you improving very soon!

@charlie2dogs Perhaps on the surface they don't, but a certain skeptical mindset is also a belief. If you say "we don't know", you know that you don't know.

@Anicko And if everyone is saying the same, you are more likely to believe in it.

@Draconis Chaser I hope we are all actualizers here so you ideas are safe. But whenever you feel too sure about an idea, it's an indication that you are starting to believe in it. Which might close your mind to further development and desolation of oldideas

@SkyPanther @Sleepwalker @Natasha @Kevin Dunlop I feel like i should raise another question. How is id different from joining a religion? You also have everyone agree with you. And you feel so certein, and secure surrounded by like minded people.

Thank you for your replies. I will keep seeking

By whom?

I just feel speaking about awareness in context with other things is illogical, since it is all the things and experiences combined, and thus indescribable and incomprehensible.

@Infinite While that seems a logical story. I have a feeling that there are just sensations and the phantom of the witness or awareness was created through repetition of concepts. Like when you spin a cigarette in the dark, you see a circle. but is there a circle?

@Infinite Well not only thoughts, but also feelings, emotions, sensations. When you say awareness must exist in order to be aware you separate them. In other words, if there were no experiences, would there be a need for an experiencer? They go together, and in fact one. Of course I haven't had an experience of this sort yet.

How do you know that? what if there's no need for it? it's possible that they are self aware.

It's the same, since the realization of "that" being the only thing in a non-dual way, means there's no I am. The idea of these being two separate things is maya.

I would like to share a nice trick and also hear your discoveries of a simillar nature. When getting in touch with your body ask yourself: "What do I not feel?" "What do I not see?" "What do I not hear?" Don't answer the question it's not an inquiry. Just stay mindful and see what happens. Also don't rush between them, ask and be patient. Tell me about your expirience with it When I do it it gets me an amazing focus.

@bobbyward It's very intresting, I didn't realize this. Did you try it though?

In the recent year I've become very intrested in all topics of self actualization. It shocking how most people are immediately showing resistance to these subjects. Most of time people feel offended and say I'm so arrogant for talking about these things. Did you have similar experiences? Should we just keep to ourselves? It feels like priceless knowledge, and to withold it really does feel like a sin.

I've been thinking a lot about how the constant blabbering is ruining beautiful concepts by turning them into cliches.

Hi everyone I would like to hear your opinion about a project im working on. I'm a student and I've picked to focus on Actualization for my project. I want to develop a concept of an app that will help you with this process of self actualization. Meanwhile it focuses on bringing up quotes from a different subjects database (relationships, buisness, etc) Please tell me what would ypu expect to have in such an app. How would you interact with it daily? Your input is very valuable to me. Thank you
