I know, just wanted to make sure there were no collateral damages. Otherwise the Actualized.org Grammar Gestapo gonna be relentless.

I always check when I can. In fact I'm very grateful for Actualized.org as it has been a great source of motivation to improve my writings. It helped me in putting down complex thoughts in a cohesive and structured way. This Sunday I have my C2 English exam by Cambridge. Hope to ace it

@Leo Gura Lack of capitalization is more universal. Punctuation it depends, it can be clearly seen when it's due to laziness. However, I was surprised when learning that Italian rarely uses commas for guiding the flow of the sentence as it is expected from the reader to have the skills to decipher it. So I used to write tons of commas and took me quite some time to learn the Italian punctuation style. It's the same with English, it has its own rules of punctuation that differ from other languages quite a lot. This is just to stay that mods should distinguish sloppy writing from cultural gaps. Btw Leo, have you read the culture map book? I think you may enjoy it

Be mindful that English is not the main language for many and punctuation rules vary greatly among countries. Having said this, I recognise the need for certain quality standards in writing and I support the measure as long as it is proportionate.

@Keryo Koffa Thanks for sharing ❤️ I'm planning to do a psychedelic intensive retreat some day

are you joking right? You find trouble finding drugs in Holland? You wouldn't find ice in Antartica

@Keryo Koffa Did you have that Awakening? How did it come to be?

@Buck Edwards what is the root of your anxiety?

There are none, probably the best shot around the world is Auroville and it's barely Tier 2

I would fap It's unsustainable Otherwise take a freaking cold shower or run a sprint till you can't no fucking more Have you thought about reading Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy from Mantak Chia, it's an actual masterpiece on sexuality and sexual energy. The only book I found worthy on the topic.

@Leo Gura On the 20th of August I wrote the following: How can I become even more Conscious? I feel there's a whole breakthrough in degree awaiting me Shall I keep knocking till it opens? Or can you give me deeper pointers because I know you have gone through rounds and strange loopy rounds of Infinite Imagination. Can you intuit or explain me how you Awoke deeper into the nature of Consciousness? Methodology, tips, tools, I would really appreciate it, anything that brings me closer to understanding: What the Fuck is Consciousness?

God is one's very own Self, the breath of one's breath, the life of one's life, the Atma, the I. Not until God's Infinite Self has been revealed to itself may a seeker ever relax his search. By seeking, one will find the Self is within one's own grasp. To feel fatigued, exhausted, because one has not found God is a very good sign indeed. It indicates that one is nearing the purification of one's heart and mind. ~ Sri Anandamayi Ma

@Leo Gura I'm going in the good direction then. Thanks

@Leo Gura What is Consciousness? How would you answer to that question with your current understanding? It has become the top #1 question to answer for me right now. I would appreciate deeper pointers than what you have already offered.

@Leo Gura How the fuck do you know so much?

Just as much women as islamic law allows. Didn't know that about Bin Laden though

Women crave sex, intimacy and romantic relationships as much as men, they just do it in a different way, the feminine way

Indeed

Another sticky point is that you are operating within the materialistic paradigm. You assume you are a human which as an epiphenomena generates consciousness and then you can become conscious of things and maybe animals may or may not have consciousness and so on. This whole paradigm is limited and mostly wrong. You are not a human being which is conscious You are consciousness which is aware of a human being, this screen, lights, sounds, space and so on In other words, you are not a human being existing But Existence being a human and everything else With this right understanding Consciousness makes much more sense and so does the mystics outrageous claims

Others exist But others are Me so there you have it a beautiful strange loop me and other cocreate each other, they codependently arise and codependently vanish am I lying?

where is the earth when you sleep? what is the world when you dream? Aren't you conscious of it all? right? The mistake is your cognition that you are becoming conscious of something No You are expanding you consciousness, period Consciousness, perceptions, awareness, sensations are shapeshifting moment to moment Taking the form of your current experience, your images and conceptions about the world, the material world, your breathing, the feeling of I, everything is mediated by consciousness alone Try sitting in a room Quiet your mind by focusing in your breathing Do some vipassana or your classic mediation technique then ask yourself: What is Consciousness? It's a non verbal pursuit after that You focus your faculties to the Reality that Consciousness is everywhere, thoughts come Oh I'm conscious of that, my body oh I'm conscious of that, oh I'm conscious of everything, oh the "I" is happening inside consciousness Oh consciousness is all there is Oh what is consciousness? keep abiding in consciousness, feeling consciousness inside out through out all of existence If you get too distracted is because you have lost awareness of the breath, recenter yourself Ask: What is Consciousness? Abide in Consciousness

Check this playlist, be careful with fainting while doing intense breathwork. It can happen and I injured myself so have that in mind. It's better to do it lying down if you're gonna do an intense session or have been quite some time without practicing.

Just had an insight: maybe the inverted triangle could be a new Actualized.org logo like the continuation expansion after the peak, like in the last image
