This was such a great read, thanks for sharing! I felt that "I" was living vicariously through it

Hey @Leo Gura Regarding the message you sent last week, I hope it's okay if I send this here, since your inbox is likely overflowing with PMs. I received your email last week on 04/30 requesting more information from me, and I emailed back the same day, responding briefly, as you requested, to the 8 questions you asked. I’ve got the funds, and being of sound mind and body, I approve this message I am still awaiting an email with a link to make the $200 payment to receive a Zoom invite. I am seriously interested in attending the retreat. Thank you so much for everything. I know you have a lot on your plate, and I would appreciate your help here or via PM when you have a moment.

Email sent @Leo Gura. I messaged on the forum that I was interested when you first announced it, and have been eager to see an update from you that it was finally set and planned! Look forward to getting an invite for a Zoom interview. Thank you very much for everything

Happy birthday Leo

@Leo Gura I thought this would be relevant to what you mentioned before about him. His self-awareness may be improving lol This may very well be the first Truth, out of the other Truth social posts that were made

Damn that's exciting! Take my money already and sign me up @Leo Gura 😄

I hope the exorcism doesn't kill the blog in the process, I've watched too many exorcist movies 😅

Great news! Hopefully, it's not much of a struggle to fix for the expert

I think you underestimate the weight that Leo's post carries; they are quite potent in their effect, given the rarity of raw truths with that depth nowadays. This is another case where it's not about quantity, but quality

@Daniel Balan I believe that Leo was posting so many hard, raw truths on the blog, that TruthSocial felt threatened and decided the blog needed to come under "spiritual attack", hands down Nothing else could explain it better lol. Religious people crack me up haha 🤣

I'm definitely down for this! I've been fantasizing about going to an Actualized retreat for years now. Feels like a dream come true, glad I lived to see this moment lol

@Leo Gura I think you've mentioned many valid points of criticism regarding all this. However, I do feel that a slightly more balanced view of this situation would be helpful. The statement below by Charlie shows that not all that he said was vile, bigoted, propaganda, etc. Despite the valid criticism of many of the things he said, there was some good in some of the things he said. When people stop talking, really bad stuff starts. When marriages stop talking, divorce happens. When civilizations stop talking, civil war ensues. When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to want to commit violence against that group. What we as a culture have to get back to is being able to have reasonable disagreement—where violence is not an option." - Charlie Kirk

Mmm, that sounds like my favorite environment. I took the advice that you had previously shared on this forum about easily setting up a retreat at home instead of going somewhere outside for a retreat, and I set up a dark isolation room in an empty closet in my house. Although I am considering changing things up a bit in the near future, and at one point going for a dark retreat at this location. https://www.thehermitageretreats.com/dark-retreats

Oh, I already did a lot of that in my 20s. I feel I outgrew it with each passing year in my 30s

@Leo Gura Same here. I just turned 34 two weeks ago, and as I look back at the past year, I am noticing myself becoming less and less inclined to socialize as each year passes. Nowadays, I spend the majority of my time in solitude. Part of it is me becoming more selective about who I socialize with, and that pool of people continues to shrink with time, and also me being extremely repelled by small talk. I do enjoy being in a public, busy space every now and then, where I can sit alone on a bench and just watch humans be human around me. I'm curious, do you see your tendency to socialize possibly changing for you with time?
