I had not heard of this book till now but there is a novel with the MC very similar to this and I am very inspired by him. Its called reverend insanity and here are some of the quotes: [“Fang Yuan, however, smirked and laughed: “I like the footless bird, do you know why?” He smiled, but the sight was horrifying. “Why?” “Because it has no legs, only wings, thus it has no choice but to fly. When it lands, that signifies its destruction.”] [How difficult is the perseverance of one person? All of the Gu Immortals here could answer that question. Because among them, some persevered because of responsibility, some persevered because of hatred, some persevered because of excitement, and some persevered because of love… And Fang Yuan's answer? He was still expressionless, he continued to move forward relentlessly. I had once screamed, gradually, I lost my voice. I had once cried, gradually, I lost my tears. I had once grieved, gradually, I became able to withstand everything. I had once rejoiced, gradually, I became unmoved by the world. And now! All I have left is an expressionless face, my gaze is as tough as a monolith, only perseverance remains in my heart. This is my own, an insignificant character, Fang Yuan's — Perseverance!] [Life is like a wave. It goes up and down; the time it is at it's highest is also the time of the fall. By embracing stillness into one's heart a person is not subject to the influence of the waves. The sea out there might be turbulent, but the waters inside the heart remain calm; one does not grasp, does not hold. Because it's still, it's always generating movement. This is the interplay of Yin and Yang. That's why Fang Yuan's perseverance is so steady; he's always moving foward.] I really look forward to reading this book; Thanks for this post.

It was good knowing yall. Hope in another dream I will join a consciousness fenatic group like actualized.org and read trip reports. 🫡 -
Leo, you said that assassinations is a good tactic, on that I agree. Can you provide some insight on why it didnt work with Iran and when killing enemy leaders should be avoided in general.

Sure, but the police don't go around collecting money for a made up crime or whatever. The police is corrupt in a sense that they might not investigate high profile individuals. Its not even because the police are bad people and they just want to exploit the population. What happens is that the home ministry which is in control of the police uses the policemen to scare opponent and save their own party members. Even so, its more of a people issue for not voting for better parties. All that said; the police still targets minorities in democratic undeveloped countries and more so than they do in America but that is not an issue of corruption but that of racism or religion
-
'3rd world' is a term from the cold war referring to non western(1st world) and non soviet (2nd world) countries. Its doesnt have much meaning nowdays but yes, I define undeveloped countries based on just gdp per capita.
-
Im saying that corruption in public servents such as police or army mostly happens in dictatorships. third world or not. Its just that most underdeveloped countries are a dictatorship that we conclude that lack of gdp is causing corruption.
-
Most of the examples yall have given are a dictatorship though. Similar things also happen to some degree in russia even though it is developed. What really determines a non-corrupt police is the institutions in the country not the gdp itself. Mozambique Zimbabwe and Pakistan are all run militarily through a iron fist. Idk about south africa though.
-
thats just not true. maybe in dictatorships, or religiously fanatical countries . Not to mention that police in America commits just as many crimes as 'third world countries' epically ICE

forcing people to sit still for 2 hours will make them start a revolution. If kim jung un made people sit still for 2 hours, there would be a regime change the next day. You cant force discpline.

People here think that actualized.org is the first place where god is so openly talked about. A lot of us think that gurus talk in encryption and although they might have been enlightened, they have not described and communicated it as well as leo. Well look what I found: A direct confrontation with god in the poem. Sad thing is that people listening to it don't really know how powerful it is. Such a beautiful description of god in Sanskrit and most Hindus are busy worshiping stones. If you look at India now the only thing that might enlighten you is the constant smell of trash that forces your ego into surrender.

Nah. The old guys are getting arrested one by one. He is a real one. He had this spirit decades ago and even worked as the mayor.

hey guys, just wanted to let you know that the protests were a big success. The new anti-corrupt government won 182 out of 275 seats which is a few away from 2/3 supermajority. The PM is a guy that raps about corruption (also the former mayor of capital city). And the home minister is a social worker and a former DJ (he is the one that organized the gen-Z protests). The overall cabinet is also very educated and young with 5 ministers less than the age of 40 and the oldest minister being 51. Our former prime minister and home minister have been arrested. Also our PM dropped this banger before swearing in:

thats crazy. In 100 years it will be completely new people wdym they wont fix it do you know how many societies were backwards 100 years ago? virtually all countries were very sad place to live in. Dont understimate human capacity for progress.

Im from nepal and I hear stories of rapes from india all the time. In this one story, a komodo dragon was raped by a gang. But its pretty tuned down nowdays though, even the documentary was from 2018. The richer india gets, the more money it can allocate to destroy these vile rape culture I think in 2 decades, India will be the new China and Some african country (sudan or smtn) will be the new India It appears as though the world is degrading day by day, but I think in 3-4 decades, humanity will not only be the richest but also the happiest its ever been

Netanyahu wants the world to see Israel as 'Zionist'. Because it will push the Israeli people together and make them more right wing. Israel could have been a beautiful save haven for Jews but the Rabbis and the conservatives wont let it be. That is why religion is so dangerous, The government of Israel is not fighting for the rights of Israelis but for the greater Israel project And the government of Iran is not fighting for their people they are fighting for Allah When both sides think they are infallible, it will eventually result in the annihilation of one side.

israel is about 50 percent orange 30 percent blue and 20 percent others. Nethenyahu's right wing gov is wildly unpopular with about 27 percent support. Its just that other parties are even more unpopular that he is the PM. As for the rest of the middle east, I think in about 20 years it will be majority orange. You underestimate Muslims in assuming that it will take 50 years for them to move to orange. The reason for so many radical muslims is cause of US and israel bombing of muslim land. In fact, enlightned muslims like Rumi were wildly respected by the islamic culture in the past. Add into that they will be sort of forced into orange to develop their economy, 20 years is definately feesable

So I just revisited this photo and this time the sarcasm really hit me. How could reality be this funny? A bunch of 'Christians' who are supposed to be be praying to God are doing it through the devil's son. lmfaoooooo they are trying to reach Christ but its actually the Anti Christ and trump knows he's godless too so he just pretends its fine I cant stop laughing at this shit its so funny.

Suppose you walk into a room with 2 boxes and a genie. 1 box has 1000 dollars no strings attached and the another is a mystery box. You can either choose both the boxes or only the mystery box. The genie is a master predicter. It has predicted the choice of people before you 99.99999 percent accuracy. If it predicts that you will take only the mystery box then the mystery box will have a million dollars. If it predicts you will pick both the boxes, mystery boxes will have 0 dollars. Are you picking the mystery box only or both the boxes? https://chatgpt.com/share/69af0231-cae8-800d-a3fe-751bbd9439e7 My tactic is to just shut up and take the mystery box to get a million dollars. But the question is much deeper than that. Could our intention in the present determine what we would possibly do in the past? What is the awakened view on this problem? If it was necessary to win 1001$, could we do it? I would love to hear you guy's perspective on this
-
Not to be rude but how many of yall have experienced awakening at all. And if you have not then what actions have you been taking to get closer to it

If I don't get enlightened what is the point of listening to actualized.org. Isn't this just a mind masturbation for a non enlightened person.
