developa crystal clear vision of what you want

@Sharp thank you. that was funny i think you're missing the point of this forum though. good luck, pal!

just go for a 4~7 days retreat and you'll spot many lies. it's that simple. if you just stay at home, living day after day comfortable with and unconscious of your ways of deceiving yourself, you'll just be stuck and wasting your time here on this forum. get serious, get real. here's an example for you.

@28 cm unbuffed you're just facing your own selfishness. it's fine... just keep digging deeper. Truth is a real and visceral experience.

@dimitri amazing work. keep it up!

@Highest if everything goes well, a few weeks from now you will look back and notice the arrogant tone. yes, everything is god itself, alive and shit. bla bla bla. you can't be anything else. you can't become anything else. Truth is eternal. what we can do is align ourselves and feel respect and humility towards existence. if you can't feel humility in the bottom of your heart, you can be pretty damn sure that you're just mental masturbating. i don't like nor dislike what you say. i've been there. i've done that. and once you notice it, it will stink. also, what the fudge are those two worlds? as far as i'm concerned, i only experience ONE.

@Highest powerful pivot. keep it up!

can't be done. breakthroughs can only happen due to spontaneous thirst. just like a child that gets tired if his toys, people get tired of addiction to goals and achievements.

ferraris do exist. QED. go beyond the notion of individuality. right now you're like a cell that is not aware of the body. be a cell that's aware of the body. god is the infinite body.

most people hold different definitions of what "enlightenment" is. asking if other animals are enlightened is pointless.

@Charlotte i think @Devi Shanti can help you with this

@Eric Tarpall i would make Being possible to be experienced consciously, capable of forgetting who i was, and full of facets and beautiful complexities... including a web forum where someone would ask your question and someone would answer this very answer.

do it!

@LoveandPurpose first accept and then change. you can't change something if you're still in denial. accepting is not the same as being complacent. accepting is acknowledging what is. so you change what is to something else.

@mrweasel why not just create a thread already sharing what you got?

c-c-c-combo breaker projections! if those thoughts were held by leo, he would certainly just erase this forum entirely. he's already mentioned before that he consciously doesn't allow actualized.org grow into something that's evil. this forum is great for those who are willing to take action. i've been around for more than 2 years and i've seen several cases of people pivoting their lives and changing for the better. in my opinion, leo doesn't advertise it because there's a certain magic about people finding out things out of raw curiosity and self-driven exploration.

big red flag of ignorance: using spiritual gibberish to justify petty choices while sounding intellectual and smart the result is undeniable: destruction and extremely uncomfortable awakening experiences

what about the book of not knowing?

i'm loving this meme

the same way that you can have a first hand experience of the sun rising in the morning, you need to have a first hand experience of the origin of desires. you gotta be aware of the mental phenomenon before it turns into emotions on the body.

@PretentiousHuman be aware of the source of desires.

great thread! i hear you

obvious programmer spotted! i know you can do better at that alcohol variable good job on keeping a journal btw

@8Ball family did not like it. friends? i didn't have real friends back then. but yeah, you need a solid plan to stay alive. and here's my advice: choose a simple and economic life. small apartment, take buses, eat wisely, don't waste money on alcohol or any other drugs. don't allow the money on your bank account to deceive you. i'd avoid "traveling the world" or any other expensive move without having a good source of income.
