Sincerity

And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains There's more than one answer to these questions Pointing me in a crooked line And the less I seek my source for some definitive Closer I am to fine Closer I am to fine

I don't understand what's your problem exactly but I'd say confront your resistance (probably rooted in fear) head on. It will be painful but it must be so. I think there is no way around suffering. To integrate You have to suffer through whatever's there. Sometimes it fucking sucks but it is what it is. Also though, beware of your interpretations and stories about how the world is. Your post is filled with them.

I watched these videos quite a long time ago but I remember I thought they were coming from a rather healthy masculine perspective. I wouldn't say this is "completely unisex". I think men would relate to it a lot more than women, for a reason. I don't disagree with that.

Yeah, they're probably interested in a more feminine approach. Because he's much more masculine - in my view.

You must be kidding dude. I think Leo's teachings and style are very masculine. That's why the vast majority of his YT audience is male. That's why this forum is 90% men. I think Leo could really use more femininity but that's just my view. I wonder who You'd consider the peak of masculinity. I don't think that's an accurate stance at all.

Keep it respectful please.

Bro what? How'd You come to this conclusion? I think Leo's videos are great for a man wanting to build basic healthy masculinity in himself.

Neat! Thanks for drawing the parallel.

@mr_engineer You're just afraid of the experience of a relationship. You learn relationships by RELATING, not by thinking or reading about relating. You learn math most by DOING math, not reading textbooks endlessly. It's like You're saying "I have to read all the textbooks first and only then I can get to actually doing math!!!!". Nah man. Just go for it. You will spin a thousand excuses when You're afraid. Because that's what You do. And so do I. And it's okay - just don't let the fear rule You. That's exactly what's happening now - You're in fear and You have a ton of justifications for why it's not fear, why it's rational, why You shouldn't take action, beliefs about how women are a certain way, etc.

I think Ro Khanna comes off here as very reasonable. I feel like he's more realistic than Kyle and Krystal and understands better how to actually enact change. He encourages hope and positivity about the future and isn't idealistic about it. I feel like Kyle can often fall into negativity and reporting in an overly sensational way. I guess this is somewhat inevitable since it gets views, but it's really perspective-warping. I'd assume he's not conscious he is doing it. Immense respect to Ro Khanna for being integrous and doing this interview with them. He seems like a really mature individual. What do You think?

I'd stick DMT in everyone's ass. Kidding.

I'm sorry for your loss. ? Take care.

Haha, I get it. I thought the same. When I first googled Niels Bohr 2-3 years ago I was like uhh that's the guy from the forum.

Guess it's true love.

Alien Hatred. (towards Leo)

Oh, cool. That's a lot of openers then.

I remember You made a blog post about this. https://www.actualized.org/insights/list-of-leos-favorite-openers

The 9 Stages of Relating to Leo. Not to brag but I think I'm transcending stage 4 and entering 5 already.

You can visualize these women and in your mind honestly express your anger / sadness / whatever towards them. Get nasty, be as petty as You need, scream in your mind even. You can get creative with your insults, it's fun. "How dare You fucking call me that You %&^@?! You're a &^%!*^ anyway!!!! I hate You with all my heart!!!!" Bonus points if in your speech You're very honest about YOURSELF, your selfishness, your intentions towards them in a comedic way. Remember that YOU are a lying sack of shit too. This is a preventive measure so that You don't believe what You say too much and You don't get an ego boost. "How dare You not let me slip into your pants?! I'm out here working hard trying to get laid and You have it so easy... I have it hard, You have it easy! I'm the victim, You're the bully! I'm righteous and great and You're a fucking *%*#&$&!" ^ This is meant to be laughed at. See through your own bullshit. Express everything there is to say until You don't hold no grudge anymore. When You can laugh about this situation, You will know You have succeeded. Bonus tip: scream into a pillow.

Of course please keep in mind this image is very simplistic and You can't summarize people with one or two quotes. This is a meme and even though there's some truth here it's extremely biased. Individuals on the left wise and good, individuals on the right stupid and bad. I'm writing this for myself mostly so that I don't feel bad.

Yesterday I had the insight that life is like a jigsaw puzzle game. Only You don't know what the "final" picture will look like and there are infinite pieces.

I've been disgusted by this guy for so long. Such an arrogant fool. Self-importance so big You could land an airplane on it. Reminds me of this image I saved years ago.

Simplicity is so fucking relaxing and nice. I cherish the moments when I see clearly and reality is incredibly simple. Like when some powerful insight just explains everything. "Ohh, of course... God, fuck. I can finally rest now for a while."

And if they do realize? I talk to myself regularly. I literally argue with myself on certain topics (side A says something, then side B says something, then side A again, etc...) and I reach clarity in this way lol.

Focus like a motherfucker to go really deep. Write down guidelines for yourself and stick them in a visible place. Really put care into what You write - You might appreciate that A LOT during the trip. It'll be much easier to refocus (!!) and You'll have good advice to support You in case everything becomes too much. I think this is especially useful for 1) beginners and 2) long trips like on LSD. The lesson in a nutshell is to go the extra mile to write something useful and kind for yourself. Example: Clean your house beforehand. Treat it as a nice ritual. Don't let the offset go to waste, spend time really contemplating after the peak. Trip alone, be concentrated, accept what arises, commit to staying safe physically. Death is not real. Let go. ♾️
