Revolutionary Think

Fair enough. People can only offend you and make you angry if you give them permission too. Also one of the things you learn in life.

I get ya.

@Leo Gura I'm saying this to you as a friend and someone who enjoys your content. @AuroraDream was never claiming to be awake I think she or he (I don't know) was saying what's wrong with being loved and enjoying life even when one is not awake your level of awakeness does not equal how much love and respect you should get as a human being. You made a wonderful video about how you want to evolve to be more kind and loving instead of arrogant and scolding so practice what you preach! I know what @AuroraDream could've triggered some kind of righteous indignation with in you and your last post looked extremely passive aggressive instead of addressing the points that the person was making. Not to mention you never addressed or added anything to what I said but, that's beside the point. Just imagine how silly you would sound if we replaced the word awake with cool. "Never be arrogant enough to think you're cool. You don't know the meaning of cool, you'll never reach my level of coolness" we'd sound like middle schoolers on a playground. I know cool and awake are not the same but, bear with me here I'm making a point. Think of all those mentally ill people you talked about during your last video some of them may never awake. Question is that is the person who doesn't awake doomed to live an unfulfilled life and when they reach the end of it end up in a profound misery? All I can say is your last video made me happy but, here on the forum you seem to play to the audience you have that enjoys it when you're a stage orange self rightoues dick. Remember it feeds on itself. You enjoy their validation when you act like a stage orange dick and they enjoy when you act like one and it's a positive feedback loop. I'm just saying this as an observer. Different strokes for different folks right. Try playing to the audience that wants you to be more humble and kind. That's my challenge to you @Leo Gura now the only question remains is will you accept that challenge. I think if you do you'd be a better person for it. Any way keep making videos of yourself evolving and realizing the things about yourself in the past that made you cringe. I've done a lot of things in my past that made me cringe as well.

OK Thanks.

I don't know if this comment is sarcastic or not but, regardless I will respond. Regular Twitter or what I like to call text twitter can be very toxic just like Facebook. How ever Twitter Spaces is social audio that means whoever host the room gets the ability to choose who gets to speak, who gets to listen, and who even gets to be in the room. Depending on the host these rooms can be toxic themselves a toxic host will get you a toxic room. There's a whole nother dimention in hearing a person rather than just seeing them as a profile pic with a bunch of text next to it. I've met so many amazing people on these spaces where I have helped them and they have helped me. Social audio is evolving the social media game in a good way. When I run a space and I pick who speaks and who doesn't I always keep my rooms on topic and talk about deep profound things and it's a lot of regulars who appear in my room and really admire and respect my ability to bring up topics and moderate them the way I do. That's what a Twitter space is all about. Hope that answered your question.

I think he's realizing this though (I hope)

The job in my opinion of the people who are at the top or close to it is to help others reach where they are and/or even help those people surpass them with loving kindness and not with ego and judgement. In fact if teachings are steeped in ego and judgement I have trouble believing that those whose teaching style revolves around ego, arrogance, and judgement can actually be anywhere near the top at all and have deluded themselves into believing they are there or close to there. Just my 2 cents.

That's your exprience I think it's different strokes for different folks. For some people that energy will help and for other's it'll drive them away and vice versa.

Well he's working on it (if he's honest about his last video).

Are you talking about me or @Leo Gura

Nice catch I've been noticing that stuff too.

Thanks appreciate your support and your comments. I'll keep you updated.

If only more of human kind would be like that we'd be in a much better place. Glad you said this.

Oh wow. When I was under 18 I always dreamed of striking it out on my own. I'm in my late 20's now. The problem was the 08 recession hit right as I was in College and job opportunities were scarce. Now after the pandemic it's a whole new ball game. If you're under 18 you have to find a way of making peace with them. Has your school ever taught you anything about business or finance because my stupid fancy schmancy Beverly Hills school never did. I did really well in school and college but, it never translated into monetary gain. The US education system is a disgusting joke.

Are you talking about monthly?

I've got some good news for everyone I was in a heightened emotional state when I wrote this post. (That's not the good news lol) The good news is we went out to see the hotel the wedding was going to be and I had an unintentional heart to heart with my mom. She kept criticizing me about random stuff and I kept cussing hear under my breathe. Until I just couldn't take it anymore and told her the exact same thing Leo said in the video I said you see this image of me that you want that makes you happy but, it's not going to make me happy. Then when she asked OK what'll make you happy then after that I told her about how I'm trying to build a brand and a name for myself. I told her once in a Twitter space I can hold a rooms attention for 6 hours on important topics, I told her not everyone has that talent and I really want to be some kind of personality that has something similar to a talk and interview show. I told her I emailed everyone in the state of California running for office I got a couple of responses and landed some interviews I recorded. When I explained it in that way it kind of leveled with her because she didn't really understand the power of digitial technology and how people can build a brand and a career with it. She tells me that I hardly talk about her about these things and she did have a bit of a point and I can spend time explaining it to her. I said that you can't compare a Doctor or a Lawyer to Martin Luther King. I said that when I was young she should've noticed that I'm not like the other kids. I was never interested in sports, partying, drinking, going to clubs etc. I was interested in expanding my mind, politics, science, technology, philosophy etc. and that's what made me unique. She did agree with that part. I told her that when I got a full time job and wasn't on twitter spaces everybody was asking where I was because I was the one who ran really good spaces and everyone remembered that I was really talented at hosting and moderating and not everyone had that talent. I was really happy that I could finally let this all out, it was really liberating but, I don't know how long this'll last and we'll just go back to the same old relationship. With all that being said I know my mission and goal in life even if she doesn't like or respect it but, after Tonight it seemed like a window is open where she can finally get it and respect it. Communication is important.

From where to where? And how did you take care of yourself?

Ya right now I'm not sure even with the money and job I have I can strike it out on my own.

Do you come from middle eastern heritage as well? Mine is Persian and in Beverly Hills so it's just a culture thing that I don't like.

I am doing this but, it's easier said than done. I'm thinking of what my escape hatch can be since I live with her. I'm happy to finally be employed because I don't spend as much time at home with her so my job has been a good for my mental health. Although it's extremely boring. I'm also creating quite the brand for myself on Twitter Spaces.

Well at least you're not getting bombed!!

Any one else care to elaborate on where they are with Leo's ideas now?

When I first looked for something beyond boring regular existence as a Jewish Iranian first generation American I looked for something more than culture, education, a job, and having a family I looked to build a legacy on this Earth by being a voice for school reform for younger generations because I thought the education system we have here and around the world is abysmal because it destroys creativity and doesn't teach life skills so I always wanted young people and students to have a voice about what they think of it and how they're being treated. Then when school and campus shootings were really ramping up in the US and I was still in College I thought about my own mortality if there's an afterlife or not and I didn't want my life to end so abruptly and unfairly. So one of the Jewish youth places I went to invited this atheist turned rabbi Alon Anava who had a near death experience and the way he described his experience was so real and vivid that I believed him and was looking into becoming an orthodox Jew from a conservative Jew. I stumbled upon this extremely stage blue fire and brimstone rabbi Yosef Mizrachi who disgusted me so much with his sermons about eternal punishment in the afterlife for violating Shabbat that I could not reconcile that we could have a god as crazy and delusional as the one he was describing and little by little I was turned off by him. Fast forward to me graduating from College I join this online (scam) course called JumpCut academy that teaches you how to become a successful YouTuber that actually makes money. I joined that in late 2016 basically when Trump became president elect and the Trump hate was at a fever pitch. My YouTube channel Revolutionary Thinking I wanted it to be about societal advancement, education reform, politics, and critical thinking with some comedy and fun sprinkled in. The entire time I had a problem with the culture that the US and the world that's influenced by US especially Hollywood culture lives in. I couldn't stand celebrity obsession, instant gratification, mindless tribalism, and our hyper consumerist society I was looking to create a coalition of critically thinking people that wanted to improve their lives and improve society over all. That's when another person who was in me in that JumpCut course Jeet Tan heard I was like this and he introduced me to @Leo Gura's content. I said FINALLY a person who is outside of that Hollywood celebrity and instant gratification sphere of influence. I was happy I found someone like that. I couldn't stand main stream culture and or society because it was so full of hypocrisy and contradiction. An education is sooo important yet, schools don't teach you about finances, relationships, or life skills. If you get a degree you'll earn a million dollars more than your peers with high school diplomas over a life time yet, plenty of people with degrees working minimum wage jobs, unemployed and underemployed. When I saw Leo's content and actualized.org I jived with it so much because the things I noticed he noticed as well. Although somewhere in the back of my mind I would always day dream and fantasize about an end game and/or a happy ending. It would be me making a speech on education and the proper way the system would work in front of millions of people televised through out the world. I'd be a world renowned visionary or something like that. Then I'd be paid to jet off to other countries and advise people I'd live in a penthouse with a helicopter on it. I'd be an ambassador teaching people good healthy communication skills that saved relationships and I'd bring peace to the world. Yes I understand very grandiose and narcissistic of me but, hey I like having dreams. Then Leo introduced me to another end game in the form of enlightenment. Instead of being an Orthodox Jew I would listen to Leo instead. I liked the way his logic and reasoning worked. Now though I'm stated to think of the entire idea of an end game and/or happy ending being moot as in just a mirage in the desert of life. As a young person I'd always follow the rules I'd keep my hands to myself, come to school on time, listen to the teacher, participate, and keep my grades up. Then in the 08 crash I was told that employers hardly look at grades and they look more at your personality and attitude and as a young person on the spectrum sometimes I'd have trouble socially and I was never told that would be a problem down the road as long as I just kept my grades up I'd do well in life. So it felt as though I busted my behind in school for the promise of a bright future and it all turned out to be a lie. Unfortunately it seems like no matter whatever you do you're always going to be told it's not enough and you didn't do it the right way. There's also a possibility that you find out your teacher/professor/boss/parent/(insert authority figure here) is a fraud and/or doesn't know what their doing and admits to it later. It seems as if I'm seeing a pattern with Leo now. a year goes by he's had an enlightenment... 2 years another more profound enlightenment... 3 years after that the ultimate enlightenment... 4 more years, the super ultimate enlightenment... 5 more years the super duper ultimate enlightenment... 6 more years the super duper enlightenment to end all enlightenments... 7 more years (oops) now this is the REAL super duper ultra ultimate enlightenment to end all enlightenments. As you can see it's becoming a bit absurd to me. If you ever watched Dragon Ball Z and Frieza's power level was over a million in his first transformation and he had two other in addition to that but, little by little even in his final form it was completely meaningless against other later villains like Cell and Majin Buu that's what I think is going on with Leo and his assorted awakenings. It seems like the Jeff Bezos of awakenings is up there and talking about how we'll never actually accumulate as much as he has. Not only that but, it seems as if you're damned if you do and damned if you don't because even if you were the hardest of hard core of his followers he'll tell you that whatever you do is not enough anyway even if you did it all... With this new course he talked about on his blog sounds like the hunger games/squid games of awakenings because there's so many traps and traumas involved when it comes to this stuff. So where am I going what's my point? Good question in the early days me and Leo vibed on so much and I think we still do. Am I angry at him or jealous of him no because we are one and the same in the grand scheme of things. Let's just say I'm confused I am extremely confused WITH ONE MAJOR CAVEAT! In the past my confusion would make me neurotic and frustrated because I NEEDED TO KNOW I needed to feel like the wise sage. That was a function of my ego. Now I do not judge myself for my confusion I love myself for my confusion and I embrace and welcome it. I'm not obsessing over some kind of end game that when it finally happens I can finally be happy and content. I'm confused and go along with it knowing that it's a good thing it's not something to be neurotic about. Life is a journey not a destination and I spent so much of my life having a destination fixation I am happy that I've grown out of it and can embrace the present moment with out constantly obsessing over the past and the future. I have a long way to go and that just makes me that much more excited and thrilled to see what awaits me.

I saw the last blog about the course Leo is talking about the funny thing is when he talked about annihilating yourself. I just had a funny thought if that was an actual add on TV or the internet. Annihilate yourself in 5 easy steps for just $9.99.

Dang that was a funny argument with yourself.
