    The more time I spend on the forum the more I feel this triggered energy manifesting in me. 

    This place is a toxic cesspool. 

    Great realization. I hope you will be out of this place soon.

    Over reading this forum caused a serious deterioration of my mental health in the past.

    @Tyler Robinson  I agree and understood the issue that you pointed out too, but I'm a bit careful with the usage of the word "narcissism". Narcissism is rare.

    Nobody wants to take any risk and any form of struggle and heroism is demonized or even considered stupid. Narcissistic people generally do this, they don't see value in struggles.

    I had coworkers who had similar traits in the past but I wouldn't call them narcissists. They were only afraid to take risks or speak up and would laugh at the person who will do it.

    Most of us are going to have an ordinary life so what have we done building a world in which an ordinary life is not good enough: this is crazy this is a form of self-torture we've now created a life where an ordinary life is materially more comfortable than it's ever been an ordinary life you're going to get a good car you're going to be able to have a bath every night you're going gonna have a roof over your head you're gonna have pretty nourishing food.

    ...

    Then we've put a snake in the grass, we've ruined the paradise that we've built and our ancestors have built for us by telling ourselves that actually contrary to everything we hoped for an ordinary life is psychologically not good enough. It's not good enough just to drive an ordinary car and have an ordinary house and have an ordinary bath once a day and have an ordinary meal no that's not good enough: you need to be extraordinary become mark, zuckerberg become somebody else right... this is a kind of torture that we've imposed on ourselves.

    ...

    We're insane: how have we made a life where the statistical odds of you leading that life the 99 surety that you will lead that life has come to seem like an humiliation and the wrong sort of life? This is setting yourself up for disaster.

    ...

    Let's not torture ourselves that the only way to be good enough is to be extraordinary: this is poison. A bit of ambition is fantastic a bit of get up and go is fantastic, we're not in any danger of being unambitious: the danger now is suicide. The danger is that we will feel so inadequate in relation to the expectations placed upon us that we may choose to end our own lives and this happens in huge numbers we are suffering from an epidemic of mental unwellness largely bred by the expectation that our lives will be stellar when in fact they are far more likely only to be ordinary: our lack of acceptance of ourselves has made us sick.

    ...

    Joy is going to be a drink with a friend joy, is going to be a meal that turns out okay, joy is going to be a day at the end of which no one's died there's been no crisis. More or less all right love is not going to be perfection, love is going to be occasionally a handheld by somebody who understands bits of you never the whole of you but has charity towards your darkest moments you know that is the life we're gonna lead and let that be okay.

    @Consept

    Hello, I was also one of the first users on this forum when I registered in 2016. I noticed some of the things that you mentioned and also fell into some of these traps.

    I watched Leo's videos from 2015 to 2021 and used the forum mostly between 2018 to 2021 after some traumas. I saw the evolution of actualized.org almost since the beginning and have a lot of thoughts on how it affected me and how it can affect other people.

    I thought about sending a message to Leo but I'm backing up for the moment.

    I currently prefer to avoid actualized.org and this forum for an undetermined period of time.

    I'll maybe come back with more thoughts much later.

    @Raphael any reiki healer can do that? also I have some level of control over my energy can I do it myself though

    I don't know but the one I found did it for me in a fraction of second.

    I tried to controlled it in my case but it was too painful and  difficult as they were a lot of emotional blockages.

    I don't know enough about reiki

    After the sessions that I had, I also barely know anything about Reiki but if the healer is good it can get better very quickly.

    I'm currently experiencing a lot of growth, everything is changing for me. I see it happening and this is a bit disorienting. Also, my entire life's emotional baggage started to come up to the surface a few months ago and in consequence, I have been experiencing strong emotions that always led to some healing so far.

    Because of that, my state of consciousness varied a lot very quickly and I'm noticing things and opportunities that I wasn't noticing before. This is overwhelming sometimes. I noticed a lot of what seemed to be synchronicities or confirmation bias yet I preferred to stay careful and didn't take action on them immediately except in 2 - 3 cases.

    A few months ago, I got more interested in learning how to learn and learning about how the brain works and neuroplasticity so I decided that I would take a course this year and also bought the book "How to Think Like Leonardo Davinci". After that, I noticed that some people on this forum are interested in learning how to learn and Leo wrote some things about Alpha waves, Beta waves, etc., and his brain training machine. This example looked a bit like a mix between confirmation bias and synchronicity.

    Two weeks ago, I took the decision that I would live my life in a way that contributes to the development of the most sophisticated brain that I can develop by forcing myself to see things from different perspectives, trying to find paradoxes, be as neutral as possible, stay open to learn from positions that I dislike, trying to see the systems into place, etc. After taking this decision, one person that came to my mind was Daniel Schmartberger so I got curious about him and wanted to know more about his education and started a do some research to understand his path, and yesterday someone opened this thread... This one looked more like synchronicity.

    What do you think about this?

    In the video below Christina define synchronicity as "A strategically placed sign from your higher self and the universe to help guide you in the material world.", she also adds that "Synchronicity happens when we don't expect them" and "A synchronicity have meaning to the person". At a moment she makes a distinction from the science perspective that see synchronicity as confirmation bias "The tendency for the brain to see what it is looking for.".

    I'm currently in a phase of life where I experience what seems to be synchronicities almost everyday. This is a bit overwhelming and I hesitate to take actions on them but my intuition is telling me to take actions. I noticed that my intuition is often right and not following it in the past led me to difficult situations. I'm often afraid to follow my intuition.

    What are your thoughts on synchronicities and confirmation bias? Do you operate more from a spiritual perspective here or science perspective or a combination of both?
