  1. @Ajay0 You can also give a few seconds of respect for the animal that gave its life for you to eat it today. If you know energy work you should clean/exorcise food and then infuse it with blessings. This may sound strange but it's pretty straightforward when you know the mechanics of energy and your state of consciousness is right.
  2. @Buck Edwards I think Leo got traumatized after the last Halloween special. He's not a quitter, he sat through it like a champ Great episode after all, hopefully not the last of this beautiful tradition. I expect a crocodile or something creative
  3. I'm unaware if this was already posted but I find this moment so cold. Imagine reporting the murder of all your family live on TV
  4. Besides renting properties, what are good sources of passive income?
  5. Another option I've discovered is patents and utility models. Just one genius invention in your expertise field can take care of your survival for the next 20 years.
  6. Yep, that's my attitude You are the type of person that gets it from the right context. From this understanding, initiations are very benefitial
  7. Animals are as ruthless as humans, if not more... They just don't have the means to exert that ruthlessness as humans have
  8. @lostingenosmaze fits like a glove
  9. And some people dare to say our work has no practical applications
  10. I'm reminded of the old saying:
  11. To hold that view, you must embrace skepticism as a means of discerning truth. Similarly, you believe that by refraining from placing authority in external sources, you'll get to a deeper understanding of reality. What if both approaches had serious limitations? Pick your poison I guess. Take both just in case and enjoy all the contrast in your mind
  12. I was researching God's of Knowledge aroun the world and Claude pulled this one out West Africa: Anansi While primarily known as a trickster god, Anansi (from the Akan people of Ghana) is also associated with wisdom and is said to be the keeper of all stories and knowledge
  13. @Sincerity I hope you write more posts. I like the way your mind works and I instantly saw this was genuine insight from direct experience. Regarding attention, I was obsessed trying to understand it, for years. It's boggling to realize the role attention plays in one's life. In magick it is said, where attention goes life flows. I realized that whatever I put my attention to, it shaped my whole life. I put my attention in my studies, I learn and become a professional. I put it in martial arts and I become body aware and strong. I put in spirituality and I'm having insane Awakenings. What is this weird thing called attention? How is it possible that it plays such a role in my life? Moreover, how can I go meta from attention if I'm using attention to cognise attention? Is my attention located somewhere? Is there an arrow of attention? What are the mechanics of attention? Like this I wondered compulsively for countless hours that became days and months. Until the insight hit me. Finally I was able to unhook from attention and rest in boundless infinitely spacious Consciousness. For the first time I was able to go outside attention, into meta Awareness from within which attention was happening as contractions in an Infinite field, that shape shifted as tight fists that opened and closed, everything fluctuated and danced. Oh finally attention was realized. What a beauty it is. Regarding the I, for sure I ain't gonna spoil that one for you. Leo already did it too much Really looking forward to reading more insightful posts from you. It's been quite along time since I read anything in this section that I said oh that's real nice, independent and genuine. Lots of love
  14. I think you're confusion may come from the jump between zone of competence to zone of genius and that may be scary, to make the leap. Abiding in one zone or the other is where the juice is. So don't confuse the mechanics of the leap with the actual zone.
  15. My jaw dropped Can't help but being a genius
  16. It's at the core of the path. You ain't gonna improve if you don't push yourself. Why would you push yourself? It's uncomfortable. Unless you love what you do. Loving implies improving and going through the challenge. I don't know for me is quite obvious. I love Martial Arts yet every class is so challenging and demanding. I may get home with bruises and pain, yet I love it so much I can't wait to go next day. The same with learning languages, it's real tough yet in its difficulty lies its beauty. If it were easy it would mean nothing That's the attitude. Keep your mind on it and eventually you'll get it. Why? Because you love understanding this matter and therefore that keeps your faith alive to go through the ordeal of having the insight. When you actually get it, the joy you'll get will be priceless
  17. I get the same feeling sometimes
  18. I loved the Thuggee blog post. It's the typical thing I would be researching. I wonder if an actualized.org dinner would look like the Indiana Jones scene Regarding your post on Ketchup as vegetable. I find very telling the following story a professor told me
  19. @Tenebroso Thanks for expanding, you connected it very well with current events.
  20. @EdgeGod900 The love tells you to make the jump towards what scares you. The trigger is love. Genius do what they love, it ain't work, it's a delight. A joy that challenges to go beyond yourself
  21. @FourCrossedWands What spiders are nice to live with? Just curious to know more about your experience with such creatures
  22. Survival demands corruption
  23. @Sincerity I enjoyed very much reading your post. I got value from it. I wouldn't like to interfere with your process, so just would like to point where I think you should further inquiry. Contemplate on the nature of Attention and it's workings within the human mind. I felt your exposition was weak and it lacked the proper assessment of what I consider the main tool of the mind, Attention. Concentration/Relaxation as a property of the mind, contraction/expansion, just to give different pointers. I would also have loved to square the human "I" in your system. I felt it wasn't properly assessed. There is such property in the mind which is the root "I" the cognition of individuality and it may be the source of all those energies and the bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind. Deep inner psychology, self-understanding and introspection are effective tools to contemplate the workings of the human I and its properties. Overall, grateful to learn your system of cognition. Have a nice day
