@mandyjw I also think guys are wired by evolution to procreate, their testosterone levels are 10 times higher than that of a woman's. Millions of sperm compete for 1 egg. It's hard for a woman to understand this physiological difference, because we don't struggle in that way like men do. They also don't have a biological clock like we do, they can procreate indefinitely till they die. Monogamy for guys is really a learned thing, not a natural thing. It takes societal/cultural conditioning to make a guy a one woman man.

I don't think of my job as wage slavery. It's just what is. If I was doing something else, would be the same, just Being. And I'm grateful

@Mu_ Haven't seen your second vid on suffering yet. My company server blocks all video media. But will check it out tonight after work. The first video was great.

People who end up in cults have strong co-dependency issues. I myself used to be in a cult of Jesus for many years, literally worshipping him. Cults are mostly run by fear. It's only when I did extensive inner work when I was ready to leave unhealthy relationships whether with an organization or a particular person. As far as Actualized goes, I see it as great tool for growth in a community of like-minded people. Leo has a servant-leader mentality, he leads by example, he does the work, not just talks the talk. He's firm yet fair. But if ever I felt pressure to give money or body, I'd leave without hesitation. So far has been so good

ALL cults are abusive, that's why they're called cults.

I believe it. Never heard of Dr. Natasha, but will definitely check her work out

Interesting interview with Dr. Gundry discussing new scientific findings on how gut health contributes to one's overall well-being and longevity, and debunking myths like what causes heart decease, dementia, etc. Also mentions the benefits of intermittent fasting towards the end of the vid

That's perfect, @Shin

@SoonHei It's only 'happening' from the ego perspective. But the ego is an illusion itself. Like in a video game, the happenings are just the appearings to the observer (the screen), while both are just one and the same.

They would keep you in a state somewhere in between healthy and dead, so you keep coming back to give them more business. They are Big Pharma-Big Food minions. I don't know how some people can sleep at night knowing they're compromising their oath not to cause harm to others to gain financially. That's just aweful.

You crack me up

When a seeker tries to distinguish between truth and false, it only points at and reinforces further their polarities (duality) and thus contributes to a seeker's suffering. It fragments reality. Truth is all containing fabric of existence, including everything we also call false.

Yes, I already know suffering was a contributing factor as well. Psychological suffering loses its grip upon awakening, though. You as the Absolute is untouchable by it.

I agree. I was fortunate to grow up around some both men and women who exuded that presence. Interestingly, none of them were into any kind of spirituality, as far as I can remember. And maybe having had that experience with them was also one of the contributing factors leading to my awakening later in life. Would be a cool point to contemplate on

Yes, a loving, good woman has the capacity to serve as the gateway to a man's healing and becoming if she chooses to see him as imperfect and fallible, but lovable nonetheless. Men are not put into our lives to save us. As a couple, we are put into one another's lives to help birth God in each other.

@Aldo Our gym has a hot sauna, so sometimes I would meditate in the 180 F sauna room. Makes a perfect 20 mins meditation session. Then I take a cold shower. It's hard not to be present when exposed to extreme temperatures like that.

@WHO IS Interesting read, thanks for sharing

@Angelo John Gage I like to listen to Dr Lipton's talks, he always does a good job linking science with non-diality. Thanks for sharing

@Shin in a nutshell

@moon777light The one that tries to survive is the ego/the illusion. The spiritual ego, of course, would TRY to use enlightenment to survive. That's what religious people do. Enlightenment is opposite to survival. You realize there is no one there to even need to survive. Awakened people integrate the ego and use it as a tool without having to identify with it.

@Thadeus01 My son went to France and Spain 2 years ago with his French class. The time difference between USA and France is 6 hours. When he got back after a 2 week vacation, his body clock was confused and it took him awhile to go back to sleeping at night again. Weed works because your brain gets relaxed and dopey, but as @Michael569 mentioned, it's not worth getting addicted. Your sleeping cycle will naturally adjust itself with a bit time and patience.
