@Leo Gura Perfect tips. Thanks Leo. Don't we all feel like a commentator on experiences? Like there's this invisible narrator, talking and saying what the hand is. -

@Leo Gura I get you Leo. Man that's fucked up to have a president like him. Just corrupt as the devils smile -

Ok. Drop the biggest horrible predictions of trump right now. Like just straight up say what are the worst things he did before they disclose it -

Truth is all loving, not survival love but real love, love that hurts, love that kills. -

A small deep nugget of an Insight I want to share while it's still fresh right now. The masculine is the container, but it itself is not contained and is empty. Ground with no ground that holds all the grounds. This is a metaphysical and existential insight. The masculine is symbolic of the absolute. Imagine the infinity sign or the yin yang sign, one side representing the feminine and the other the masculine, but those are within the edges that contains them both. That's non-duality playing through duality. The feminine existentially, is movement, the masculine is stillness. The masculine is truth without filter, the feminine is love, acceptance, embrace and care. Truth is literally what is the case, with no bias. But the feminine is complete acceptance of Truth without bias. Love and Truth seem like different things but these are the eyes of God and play as separate in the relative world. You can't have one without the other but you can't substitute one for the other. They are inseparable aspects of reality. Division is unity in disguise. Like having sex, it's not just dry machines having sex, it's emotional, intimate and feeling. Obviously you can twist this example, but I'm just saying this to point to my insight. Also masculine is Truth, which is Self. And feminine is Love. Self love. The highest Truth is Self Love because, and this makes me cry... You cannot realize the highest Truth without embracing and Loving it without bias, resistance and judgment. How hard it is to accept the most brutal and horrific aspects of reality with full love and acceptance. Imagine loving your baby that has a genetic deformity. Now imagine loving all of reality, no bias. That's hard. -

I just had an amazing insight into the nature of insight and I want to share it with you. After my first amateur boxing fight, I'm contemplating the nature of boxing. There was a lot of drama with my opponent before and after the fight, his coach was telling him that he was going to knock me out in front of all my loved ones babies and dead relatives, but they were so respectful to me in my face and they were very bitter and salty after I won the belt and put the metal around his neck. I stayed humble and even discovered that they uploaded the full fight but with the coaches biased commentary talking through the fight and really disrespecting me. He even openly admitted on cameras of cheating. It's illegal in amateur boxing to rub an excessive amount of Vaseline over your fighter's headgear because it makes it very slippery to land clean shots and reduces the friction upon connection and I got head butted in the fight too but I never flinched or looked at the ref, the ref seen it all and the judges seen it all. I outboxed him with one hand because just 3 weeks before the fight I received six stitches on my right hand from a laceration. Most fighters would not step in from that kind of injury. I had one hand, one purpose and I had one result, I took the Belt home to my babies. They're bitter and salty talking, shit about me on Instagram and just disrespecting the sport of boxing. So this connects with my insight because as I'm contemplating what boxing is I realized that boxing is more than just landing a big punch. Boxing is a science and an art and it includes timing, distance, range control, angles, positioning and footwork because it starts from the ground up. And while I was having this Insight I started contemplating about what Insight is. And it hit me because an Insight happens in a state of not knowing, because I was completely open to the question and inquiry as to what boxing is fundamentally and its essence. That I started to notice that I allowed myself to be open-minded and to remain in a state of not knowing while inquiring into the contemplation. And so here's the insight. Insight occurs in a state of not knowing, radical open-mindedness and a focused intention to become directly conscious of whatever it is that your contemplating. It's not about knowledge or logically saying that you understand. Even in fields or domains that you're excellent at you're probably overlooking the most fundamental essence of what this thing is and you can only realize it in a state of not knowing and determined focus to contemplate it from the ground up. So that's the Insight that I had into the nature of insight, you're not chasing some answer or you're not trying to explain it to yourself in a way that makes sense, it's literally an inner seeing and conscious recognition and realization of the truth of something. -

That doesn't tie into what I wrote above. Reread what I wrote, your point is clarified in the first two sentences. I'm not debating shadow work with you. Thank you -
@Emerald that's true that Truth can be realized through feelings, but Truth is not bound by feelings. The deep unfathomable depth of an infinite grand canyon swallowing you, as you fall into it, you can surrender to it through feelings and connect with truth but truth is not dependent

It's self deception at its core. Selfishness. It's within us all, but those of us that are introspective, self reflective and willing to do Shadow work, we can starkly see it in others, but especially within ourselves. The most dangerous form of illusion is a shadow cult of people that wear dark fake masks but preach light and truth. Like a criminal wearing a robe of purity and righteousness -
@Leo Gura Hey Leo can I come upstairs? 😏😉

@Natasha Tori Maru Thanks. Yes exactly 💯 a state of not knowing is an Emptiness that flourishes and blossoms into beautiful insights and consciousness -

@Rigel Hey man, I read your last post on living your life purpose! Keep going and read the books in the final section of the life purpose to tie it all in deeper and deeper. Namaste. -

@Leo Gura Thank you Leo , this all ties back to self actualization, consciousness and contemplation. -
@Rigel That's amazing brother 👏

I will stay true to my actual experiences, not using AI to generate it for me or even explain it for me. The actual trip report is something special. It sucks we have to be extra savvy now but it puts our epistemic flashlights on point.

@Davino That fight didn't happen, I went to an amateur boxing event trying to get an opponent on that date but I ended up spending half the day registering my fight book, seeing the doctor and getting approved as an amateur to compete. So by the time I finished the process, all the fights got booked.

I am the blue trunk's. I finally had my first USA Amateur Boxing Fight in Lancaster California on 7/19/25. It's only been a few days after now, and man I've had to overcome so much adversity in the ring and outside it. I had my finger lacerated 3 weeks before I got a confirmation for an opponent, I accepted the fight anyways, train smart on my cardio and conditioning, doin sprints, and getting into fight shape while also healing and recovering from my finger which needed six stitches from the cut. I don't know how I did this with very little sparring just one week before the fight. I basically beat a guy that was 6'3 and he had an awkward unorthodox style but he was very powerful and skilled. So I was fighting someone my first fight that was a very good boxer with genetic attributes that were an advantage for him. I outboxed him, didn't get hit to much and picked my shots. He had great moments and he was butthurt that he lost. His team was respectful to me but he was not having it. It was a close fight and I would have been happy if he won but he was being a sore loser. Looking back on the fight and thinking about it, I can see mistakes that I made and opportunities that I didn't capitalize on. But then again I beat him with one good hand. I am critical of myself and also very proud of myself. I really feel comfortable sharing my journey here on the forum because I feel this is directly tied to my passion and interest in actualized.org. You know,Peter Ralston was an amazing martial artist along with his consciousness work 😎 check out a book by him on @Leo Gura Booklist that combines physical excellence with increased consciousness, it definitely helps me, maybe it can for you to. Thanks Leo

@Sugarcoat Sugarcoat reminds me of people sugarcoating Truth, like making something other than what it is to make it easier to swallow. I don't like sugarcoating hahah. Like a comfortable lie, or just plain ignorance. No offense or disrespect to you. -
@Nick_98 You have limited time as a human. Just because you can generate insights into the nature of something doesn't mean your ego will just get whatever it wants. It's completely immature the way your framing it. You can have amazing insights into any domain, but you must examine your motivations, and why you are doing this. Why would you want to be number one in anything in your case? Why the need to be the best in tennis in your case?

@Nick_98 In 1978, he became the first non‑Asian ever to win the World Championship full-contact martial arts tournament held in the Republic of China (Taiwan) . His martial arts credentials are impressive. By age 20 he had earned black belts in Judo, Jujitsu, and Karate, was the sumo champion of his high school in Japan, and had been Judo and fencing champion at UC Berkeley. He also studied Kempo, Ch’uan Fa, Northern Sil Lum Kung Fu, and later internal arts like Tai Chi, Hsing‑I, and Pa Kua Chang Go research Peter Ralston and read his books you fluff
