@Leo Gura Any citations or references for that?

Let's get one thing straight I am not my father and I didn't say that I thought life was all about suffering. I'm just thinking of ways people can come up with to end suffering. I myself am very disappointed in my father for a number of reasons. He made a lot of promises to me that he ended up breaking and lives life like a robot just going through the motions. I remember as a kid that I had hopes and dreams and in one moment in my life I was in a very dark and displeasing place. I was going through some severe depression but, I got over it. The question is though how do I make sure something like that doesn't happen again if I could help it. Some things our out of our control like tornadoes and earthquakes. Although the things that are in our control like raising children sometimes people do a really terrible job that leads to extremely terrible outcomes. You need to ask those questions on why my dad put me into this world to him not to me. I don't plan on having any children myself in fact if anything I am planning on adopting and becoming a voice for people who are suffering and people who need help. Of course there are many amazing and interesting things to do in this world where we find happiness and bliss but, I don't think it gives people the right to neglect people who are suffering. Case and point I'm sure that when all the Jews were suffering in the concentration camps the Nazis and their collaborators were having a good time. I'm sure that while some people live in their mega mansions and use up all the worlds resources they are as happy as can be while other people starve. I'm not saying I have a solution I'm just saying I ponder these things from time to time. Speaking of the world blowing up it has happened before in Japan and all it takes is one psycho to end the lives of unsuspecting people especially when they are in bliss and having a good time like that shooter in Las Vegas who killed those concert goers. The way you responded to my post shows a lot of strong emotions. I think a better idea is instead to really think about what I said and think about this in a more non-egoic and non-emotional way. I am currently studying a book called Political Ponerology that talks about the origins of psychopathy and such. It talks about how people who have no conscience get into positions of power and from there they mess everyone else's psyche up as well and cause irreparable amounts of suffering to thousands and in some cases millions of people. I think that humanities best bet is to stop these psychopathic people as best we can to create a society with less suffering. Immunize ourselves from these psychos.

@nick96 I know how that feels. Feel free to message me about anything on your mind. As they say 2 heads are better than one. You are not alone

The way the average man is educated from K through College already kind of makes them a boring mindless drone as well. From my experience at least.

My relationship with employment has been a very traumatic experience ever since College. The way I looked at it was a job could finally allow me to make my own money so I could afford to live on my own and away from my parents and all the drama that came with their divorce. I hated being young because that meant that my life was to be controlled by people older than me and who had really bad judgement including my parents and teachers. In fact after high school I didn't even want to continue my education but, I continued it because "I'd be worth more to the world". So I wasted no time and started working with the career center in my College ASAP so I could get something part time while going to College. I would apply apply and apply with their help and not hear back from anyone. Until I saw an ad in the paper about work and all of a sudden I came to a place that was like a cult meeting and the name of the company was herbalife. I got suckered in to their claims of making money and told my mother to pay the initiation fee that was a big mistake. I eventually quit that stupid MLM scam. Then the next year of College the recession hit and the job market situation was even worse and more of a job lottery situation. Same shit where all that time I put into application online and offline most likely ended up in a trash bin or something like that. It got to a point where I eventually quit job hunting all together because I was annoyed and couldn't take the bullshit anymore. It wasn't until I got my AA degree in broadcasting that I got a job at McDonalds I applied to because I was just applying everywhere. I thought to myself so ironic that the assholes at my high school told me if I drop out I'd get a job there but, ended up getting a job there anyway. In fact though the job there wasn't so bad and at least living with my mom I saved up every penny I got from the job and used the excess money to go travelling to places I always wanted to see. That was a good thing. Then I graduated from University and ended at a job working for my uncles in their warehouse mind you a job I could've done easily with less than a high school diploma. After 7 months I quit that job and entered into a program called Jumpcut Academy (in fact a member from that academy introduced me to Actualized.org) I paid a hefty $1000 for the program to learn how to become a YouTube influencer. At first it was a good program and I was working on my YouTube videos to spread some kind of message. It wasn't until later my mom got pissed off that I didn't have a "real" job and told me to go learn a skill. So I looked online for places where I can learn skills and came across the Digital Learning Academy. The first class I took there had to do with 3D printing and I loved that class. Designing things with CAD and 3D printing became a new passion for me and it was absolutely fascinating and fun. Then it was on to coding which I didn't like so much then Graphic design and Digital Printing which was better than coding but, not as fun and exciting as 3D printing. I so wanted to get some work in the 3D printing field so the principal of the school found a 3D printing job for me and I gave my cover letter and resume the guy responded and was interested in moving forward with me. We had a phone interview and after that I sent him a thank you email. He responded to the thank you email saying he really liked me and my attitude but, other people had more experience than me in operating on the printers hardware which I didn't have so he couldn't hire me. I was really annoyed but, kept him as a contact and moved on. Then there was a 3D printing place near me called Hollywood 3D printing which had an opening I called them and they seemed eager to hire me (at the time). Then all of a sudden later they pretended as if I didn't exist and when I called back it seemed like they couldn't care less to hire me. The school was still helping me and there was a Digital Reprographics place hiring 8 minutes away where I lived and I didn't really want the job but, settled for it. I came in for one training day and got paid then I got another answer that they were moving with someone else after the training day because that other person had more experience. Last but, not least before I graduated there was this sales job selling cell phones to low income people that I said if all else fails I'll go for that one. Little did I know how absolutely filthy, gross, disgusting, and shady that job was. I was giving away free cell phones in some low income area of town with a supervisor who I had to drive around and we were signing people up for these phones in front of a liquor store on top of a trashcan just had that job for 2 days and left it was so terrible. The problem is that I know I have so much talent, energy, and intelligence yet the same shit that happened to me when I was really younger in the job market is happening to me again. It may have to do that LA is overpopulated and supply of people is way more than demand. All I can say is that I'm beginning to get so disgusted and disappointed with this job market lottery BS that the next employer who makes me do a whole bunch of crap and doesn't hire me I want to smack that person across their face. In fact I never wanted a stupid boring 9 to 5 job to begin with I want to create a movement and change the world with some idea I just need some help. It seems like in this dump of a city no one is willing to give you a chance no matter how much effort and time you put into improving yourself learning skills and going the extra mile none of these assholes are willing to cut you a break. Anyway that was my rant if you have any ideas for me please let me know.

Don't you mean copyright infringement?

oh ok that's even easier

You mean like mazes? I could do that or create a checkers set or whatnot.

Also the rest of you can take a look at this so you know I'm not making it up. http://www.dark-bid.com/rigged-job-market.html

That amazing stuff is just a Yoda head I saw that plenty of times before not very original. I agree though the objects aren't really that great but, I'm working on making more that are more complex. Just got to keep at it. Also I didn't make any of those on blender I made them on Fusion 360 which is way more advance.

@ajasatya can't work hard at a job you don't have...

@spicy_pickles maybe this'll help

How did you go about starting a business?

So anyway I went back to my high school and it really felt as if I was in some 3rd world country parallel Universe. I go into the principals office and ask the secretary if they have any CAD or 3D modelling courses and of course they said no. They said if I wanted to start something like that I'd need to talk to the administrative offices across the street. I went to talk to HR and told them about my idea and they said to do anything I needed a teaching credential. I asked them if they could at least show my event but, they said I needed to come back another day. So I could've left right then and there but, I decided to ask a question and that was if they had any classes on personal finance or anything like that and she just flatly said no. Then I responded with disgusted saying how terrible that was. I honestly told them that I graduated 10 years ago and as an alumni they didn't even teach me anything useful like something I could present an employer with. Then she gave me some dumb generic answer as to how their curriculum was preparing students for Cal State and UC schools which in my opinion was complete BS. I talked about how the finance class was so important for the students so when they take out loans they'll know what they're doing instead of going through the process blindly. Then she answered that the curriculum wasn't exactly made by the school but, the lawmakers in the Sacramento. Then after that I'd said I'd get in touch with them. The one thing I noticed when I said it was terrible that courses on practical every day things weren't being taught in the schools to her it seemed like her brain went into meltdown mode and she didn't know how to respond to me. I find it amazing how our stupid high schools are like these meat grinders where kids go and they loose their creative talents, their individuality, and learn how to become mindless cogs in a machine. It's so idiotic, cruel, and unenlightened. When I got home I did get in contact with the department of education to talk to them about these things and they told me I had to call my local assembly members and Senators to go over education law with them. I really keep thinking to myself just how stupid are these people to not think about these things and put in into a curriculum. It's unbelievable just how much of an idiotic sham what we are doing to the future inhabitants of the world is. I don't understand how a society can sustain such bullshit but, it seems like it's just about imploding on itself.

I had the same kind of problem but, little by little I learned how to do practical things that got me to where I wanted to be.

A step by step approach is a better idea than having some giant ideal in your head and never taking action.

That part is obvious the problem is that there are tons of people in LA and not enough opportunities. I would think that the dumb schools would actually lead me in that direction to make a portfolio and teach me the skills I'd need and how to connect with those employers. The problem is that I need to know specifics. As you can see for that 3D printing job I did have the value they needed but, they got someone who had more value than I did. It becomes a lottery when they don't give you a chance to prove your value and instead they go by these Application Tracking Systems (ATS). I know that I have skills and the portfolio but, I guess what I need help on is marketing myself. Another obstacle is that the 3D printing field is an emerging industry so there aren't that many openings I see in the field here so far. I took those 6 month courses specifically to create the portfolio and have the skills to bring something enticing to the table. The one thing I'm having trouble with is that with the internet the job market has become very confusing and random. My value can't really be presented in a resume and I'm trying to find out what these employers actually want because they tend to want you to have tons of experience when they're not likely to give you a chance to start something if you don't have experience. I think What I need to do is come up with a winning strategy to somehow get their attention. The good news is that I organized a 3D printing event at the Microsoft store and if I'm lucky I'll network that way and present my value after I held the event there and it has been successful. I know I blew off a lot of steam in the previous post but, I was really annoyed. Even if you have a lot of skills and value there's still someone else out there in a county of more than 10 million people that are bound to have more value than you so it becomes dog eat dog. Also Leo I did the statistics Las Vegas's population is 1/15th that of LA's population. (I remember in a video you said you live there). So it makes it that much harder. Anyway It's only been 2 weeks I graduated from that program but, I just hate this job hunting stuff it's really annoying and it gets degrading.

@Leo Gura Is this what you mean by no free will?

This is precisely why I want to find a way to turn off my mind but, it's almost impossible. Since you're here I want to tell you about the frustrating process I go through when I lie in bed and I have one of these frustrating mind loops. I lay there in bed thinking of all the bullshit I was told when I was young. Study hard, get good grades, follow all the rules, get a degree and viola that high paying job and that reasonable life await you... Then when you grow up and you find out that these people are full of shit you want to beat the crap out of them. I think about all the jobs I applied to that were minimum wage and at my young age I could've easily done them and never got a chance to do them. I think about even now with a degree and a good amount of vocational education I still couldn't get that 3D printing job that would've made me so happy and even the crappier digital printing job that I was willing to settle for but, I didn't really want. Then I end up going in a mind loop I want to kick the world in its ass for all the BS it filled my mind with when I was young. I keep thinking to myself "you lied to me you no good son of a bitches" over and over again. Then even when I tell my mind to shut up be quiet and let me sleep I still can't stop thinking about those thoughts. I keep painting myself as this decent good guy who has been betrayed by greedy evil scumbags (even though you mentioned we're all the devil). Then I start thinking to myself did those kids at Sandy Hook deserve what they got when they were shot up with an assault rifle because a mentally deranged individual had access to those weapons then how could I be complaining about my life... but, I still complain about my life. Then it makes it worse and I think how can I live in such a sick, disgusting evil world where that is allowed to happen. As you said though it was supposed to happen because it happened. Even these mind loops I'm discussing right now might not be under my control and that's the mind fuck about these mind loops lol. If only I can end these mind loops somehow reprogram and rewire myself not to think about these things but, they are a part of my DNA that I can't seem to shed. I keep thinking of a way to get some sort of pay back for how shitty I was treated when I was younger and all the opportunities I didn't get to have because of the stupid job market. Things are improving in my life though but, somehow in my psyche I feel betrayed and feel as though I deserve some sort of compensation even though that's really a figment of my imagination and the Universe doesn't work like that. I guess the best I can do is not get frustrated at myself for having these mind loops because even my thoughts aren't mine. Maybe meditate more and understand that I'm not in charge let things happen with out an opinion. Bottom line easier said than done but, I'm so happy I have this community to share this stuff with instead of keeping it bottled up.

Ironically though doesn't that mean that enlightenment might be impossible because we don't have the free will to become enlightened due to determinism??? Since nothing is in our control...

@Leo Gura Did you ever manage to convince your mom to do some psychedelics?

Hey Leo about your recent episode I think Weird Al beat you to it.

Here's what confuses me watching Leo's latest video on psychedelics it really looks like he has a passion for coming up with ideas on how our society should be changed. I also do as well but, my ideas are different and I have some of them laid out in my blog over here http://bakshandehariel.wixsite.com/website. My question is why hasn't Leo tried to get his name out there a little more? I also am trying to do that but, it's extremely hard and in this low conscious society people tend to not pay attention to or outright ignore high conscious things. The only reason I knew about actualized.org and the YouTube channel is by random chance. I was looking for something like this for the longest time but, never knew this existed until I did. Basically my search for truth and meaning came by watching religious people debate atheists. It came from a sense of fear about what happens when people pass away/die. So I watched debates with mainly rabbis (because I'm Jewish) debate atheists. I always thought to myself if the atheists were right then that would really suck because life would be pointless. It wasn't until I saw this flyer for an Atheist Jew who died and had an NDE (Near Death Experience) that all of a sudden I was so happy and I said to myself g-d exist and there is good evil and an afterlife. I thought to myself after listening to his story it made a lot of sense and I'd become an Orthodox Jew. Now this led a to a lot of trouble in my life because as a Conservative Jew we don't restrict ourselves as much as the Orthodox ones. Then I heard that anything to do with technology, turning on a light, and driving we couldn't do on Friday nights and Saturdays in the mornings and near the evening. This was a gigantic restriction that was frustrating me but, it was extremely important in Orthodox Judaism and I couldn't see myself doing it. Anyway to wrap this up I ended up not going through with it because I just couldn't bare the brunt of all the radical changes I had to make in my life. After that I saw this thing on the internet called Jumpcut academy were they teach you how to make a living on YouTube from being a viral star. When I joined the program I wanted to introduce important life changing topics but, that didn't seem what people were interested in. I made one friend in Jumpcut academy who seemed to have a self improvement page just like I did who introduced me to the Self-Actualization videos and that's when I found this community. Finally what I saw in Leo was the middle ground I was looking for in the religious people vs. atheists debate. He wasn't as strict and dogmatic as the religious people and unlike the amazing atheist on YouTube he wasn't just saying that everything was meaningless and nonsense and their are no profound truths out there. I'm just wondering why me, Leo and the people here on Actualized.org aren't getting any attention out there in the public sphere. I'm wondering why Leo never decided to go mainstream and why he wouldn't have a voice on at least a cable channel or maybe even a local news network in Las Vegas so more people know that people like him do exist. I'm just wondering where other people who feel lost in our crazy and unconscious society who are looking for something like this will actually ever have a chance to find it.

Doesn't have to be truth just a place to find like minded people and get away from the nonsense I see on a day to day basis.
