  1. Hey Actualizers, Thought I'd share with you my favorite movie. And the reason it is my favorite movie is because it's all about letting go of ego. And that movie is The Last Black Man in San Francisco. A brief synopsis; 'Jimmie Fails dreams of reclaiming the Victorian home his grandfather built in the heart of San Francisco. Joined on his quest by his best friend Mont, Jimmie searches for belonging in a rapidly changing city that seems to have left them behind. As he struggles to reconnect with his family and reconstruct the community he longs for, his hopes blind him to the reality of his situation.' I'm not going to spoil anything, but know this going into it: That Victorian house is literally Jimmie's ego. His whole self-identity is wrapped up in that house. I think you'll find it a trip to watch And if you know of any films similar or are about letting go of ego, let me know. I'll probably love them too.
  2. Lots of avoidants here, me too! Knew it before even taking the test. Whenever someone asks me a question about myself I just answer quickly and change the topic. But I'm pretty good at talking to others about themselves at least. Realizing now it's actually selfish to avoid talking about yourself, the other person deserves to know who they're taking to. Working on that...
  3. Due to sourcing reasons I have been unable to acquire psychedelics in tab/powder form. But I've found some research chemicals in pellet form online and was wondering what everyone's experience was?
  4. There's the Relative age effect - Wikipedia The older you are in your cohort growing up the more likely you are to have academic or athletic success. There's a reason Capricorns are generally success oriented.
  5. Ownership, 'having', is a concept. A human invention
  6. Maybe. But don't take what people are saying here as a belief. Go find if you can do it in your direct experience right now. Yes reality is infinite possibility, but right now at this level of consciousness you have to play by sober, human rules.
  7. Let go of that. Any such power comes at the cost of ego. Liberation will not give you anything except the truth. God-realization is a completely different beast that we're still learning about, and is really only being explored by a tiny handful of people.
  8. The first of a thousand dominos towards exposing corruption. And this only exposes a tiny fraction of it. These papers don't seem to mention Australia but two of our state premiers just resigned this week after their massive amounts of corruption and favoritism came out over the last year or so. We need to consider syndicalism or intelligently designed anti-corruption regulatory bodies soon. But we have another infinite regress problem, who regulates the regulators? Seems the only solution is genuine, high-integrity leaders. Good luck with that humanity.
  9. My guess would be China has a similar UFO situation as the US and is just better at keeping quiet. And further - the USA is the most developed and influential nation on the planet, so it's reasonable to assume that UFOs are interested in that area and the Americans have the technology to detect them. It's also possible aliens still don't have a solid grasp on human society, and tend to stick to areas they know well. Point is - no average person could say they know for sure yet.

  11. Om is pretty cool. Or Chee, or Looloo, or Wacky-tacky. They're all equally useful. Better thing to ponder might be; Stare at an object, I often use my water bottle. Then ask without thinking; "Why is this taking this form and not some other form?" All forms are equally valid. Why is it that one in particular? Could it be free to assume another form? And if it is free, what is the process of form selection? How does that come to be?
  12. @jake473 You have no control over the initial circumstances of your life, or other people's actions. You can control what you do right now. You could surrender, but that would only rob you of your only duty, which is improvement. Your only duty is to work as fully as you can towards an improved existence. And if you are doing that then your duty on this earth as a human will be totally fulfilled in that moment. Seek professional therapy, seek a remedy for your chronic illness. Even if you only have 45 minutes a day out of bed. Use it. You got this.
  13. "You score for primary psychopathy was higher than 57.99% of people who have taken this test. You score for secondary psychopathy was higher than 44.28% of people who have taken this test." Damn, I thought I was nice
  14. Hey there! Many of you have probably seen this channel before on YouTube as it's gotten quite popular over the past year. I find a lot of these videos helpful to me as I often deal with similar psychological troubles.
  15. Him asking her for her number and address before creepily patting her on the side is enough to be a creep on its own. Not sure what kind of context would make that okay.
  16. Really like the what to focus on in 20s one. There's alot to unpack and start working on in your 20s: Career, study, spirituality, building relationships, dating, exploring life, travel, building good habits, psychedelics, enlightenment, learning how to adult, pursuing niche interests, maturing emotionally/mentally, learning to live healthier (diet/exercise). Where do you even begin? Which are higher priorities than others? What are the pros and cons of each? Should different types of people take different paths in developing these skills? Thanks for all the content Leo
  17. Cool intro video about Non-Duality from the Kurzegast channel!
  18. @Leo Gura : NEVER, EVER get sexual via text. Also Leo: I want to stick a scorpion in your pants
  19. I feel like on youtube we are just absolutely bombarded by stage Red/Orange dating advice from sleazy PUAs and dating coaches. What's the next step? Are them some good Green+ dating channels? An exploration of Stage Green+ dating would be an awesome video.
  20. If you do try it, build up some experience with Modafinil before you sit the test. The first time I had Modafinil it made me very anxious and to be honest, it actually gave me brain fog. It didn't make me drowsy or anything, but I always felt distracted on it. I've built up some experience with Modafinil since then and now I can take it without any negatives, but I don't feel that Modafinil is very beneficial. I have a suspicion that Modafinil doesn't work for some people. Leo seems to love it, but I'm still not sold on its effectiveness.
