  1. 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
  2. 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?
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. Think of it this way, your life is like a pyramid of needs. If your pyramid is like a cheese it cannot hold anything properly, so when you pour water, it will eventually leak and it only takes one leak for that to happen So satisfy categorically these needs for you to arrive to spirituality. What happens is that you enter into states where you are in self-trascendence but it doesn't hold as your baseline experience because the roots aren't strong enough to hold it. Till you don't satisfy your needs for sex, wife, family, friends as well as those of good communication and self-actualization no higher sustained consciousness is possible. So just by understanding the following your doubt is fully resolved.
  7. This ring is a cherished piece from my 18th birthday. Crafted with love in gold, silver, and copper by the talented artisan Meritomasa, it's a true masterpiece of feminine craftsmanship.
  8. I've been really wrapping my mind arround Consciousness lately. What is it really? Consciousness never ceases to amaze me and I have plenty of questions still to answer. Every morning I sit in meditation and when the state is right I focus myself into Omnipresent Consciousness and abide in it. Penetrating it deeper: What is Consciousness? I'm certainly Consciousness but what is the existence of Consciousness mean and imply? I believe a second part on the topic would be very much appreciated. I'm sure you have many deeper insights to share into the Nauter and Mechanics of Consciousness. PD: @Leo Gura Have you checked your personal messages? I sent you something important there.
  9. @Princess Arabia Yes ahahahha that's my hand and they can knock you out also
  10. Today I learnt Zebra Stripes are an intelligent survival defense mechanism against flies. I downloaded a facts app and it gives me interesting facts everyday to increase my understanding of the world
  11. A classic mirror is actually more green than any other colour
  12. I invested quite some money in crystals. My conclusion is that they aren't powerful enough for my taste. Quartz is good though, the rose is very femenine and loving in essense. Quartz is also used in telecommunications equipment for vibrating precise frequencies for communication. However, imo rudrakshas beat crystals everyday of the week. Although everything has its place and I wear crystal clear quartz too. Don't believe me, buy a 108 rudraksha bead necklace and contrast it with your rose quartz. I like a lot Rudraksha Ratna webpage. Here you have an special offer, 9 necklaces of 108 for 27.69$ wear one daily and the rest wear them when you do meditation, yoga or tripping. The first time you put them on is like a spiritual high
  13. The issue at hand is not just the physical coin, but the underlying psychological manipulation it represents. The coin symbolizes much more than currency; it represents wealth, value, and power. By launching a coin adorned with his likeness, Donald Trump is creating a deeper subconscious narrative of authority and control. Positioning himself as a figure of sovereign power, reminiscent of monarchs and emperors throughout history. This practice of leaders minting coins with their image dates back to ancient Rome, where rulers used currency as a tool to cement their legacy and assert their dominance over the people. What’s particularly telling in this case is the implicit message: Trump suggests that he doesn't need the formal structures of American governance to generate wealth or influence. By issuing his own coin, he is signaling that he can create his own economic reality, independent of official institutions, attributing value to his image while leveraging the value of silver—a material associated with wealth and stability. There’s also a more insidious implication: his followers might begin to see the Trump Coin not as a novelty, but as a legitimate currency. Imagine shops displaying signs: We accept Trump Coins here. This would not only validate the coin’s monetary worth but also elevate Trump’s influence to almost mythic proportions. In essence, it's not just about selling a piece of memorabilia—it's about reinforcing a cult of personality where Trump, quite literally, becomes America's currency of power and value. Historically, such acts of self-portrayal on currency have served as potent psychological tools, reinforcing the leader’s omnipresence and status. From Julius Caesar to Napoleon, and now perhaps Trump, this sneaky act of minting one's image is a calculated move to transform political capital into lasting cultural and economic influence.
  14. Sapienza university in Rome was full of this stickers, it got me real shocked It surprises me how many intellectual types enjoy comunism
  15. I'm extremely passionate about "spiritual" or "energetic" jewelry, just a weird niche of mine. It was love at first sight when I discovered the Atlantis ring. Moldavite and Rudraksha are also my constant companions.
  16. @Leo Gura You do a great job. It surprises me how you haven't burnt out or closed the forum. Next year it will be a decade since its inception. Crazy I appreciate your work and dedication. Hope we can meet one day before anyone of us dies. Well, it's just a dream
  17. That is happening. Although consider that many working men and women in their thirties find dating apps their only way to meet new people and find stable relationships. They have many responsabilities and may not like clubbing anymore. Dating apps allow for meeting new people. I was surprised to discover such fact from close older friends. Besides, how would you regulate sex from an institutional ground? I wouldn't want the State to enter into my sexual affairs, although it still does.
  18. For many years I didn't see how non duality could be its own trap. It seemed so profound and true. Till I Awoke beyond non-duality and what is there? Infinity Because non duality still filters reality in two and in one, but there are trinities in existence and all different multiplicites, configurations, modes of being and states of Consciousness. One realizes such approach is limited and constricts one's consciousness. Including and transcending Non duality There is Infinity
  19. Varanasi is a wild place America is spoilt
  20. Not only that, Islam incorporates the Torah as part of its few sacred literature: One needs to understand Islam through the lens of being the last spiritual tradition in the Abrahamic Religious school of thought and mysticism.
  21. In life it is all about getting the balance right.
  22. https://youtube.com/@3blue1brown?si=Wbj84exEAmeYh5Dc This is hands down the best channel for learning rigorous maths in an entertaining way. It is very popular among university students and professors.
  23. “Medical students have first of all to make a detailed study of the skull, the bones, and the different organs of the human body. This is done with the help of models which they dissect and investigate in various ways. Likewise, in order to learn the first steps of the science of spiritual life, all kinds of practices and rites are necessary. The physical and mental discipline that these outer observances provides, usually serves as an aid to the inner Quest. In order to get to know what lies within, it will not do to ignore what is without; for behind the semblances of the world the Supreme has concealed Himself. This universe may also be called a reflection of the One who is ever wakeful.” ~ Anandamayi Ma
