The light and dark are equal. Humans are heavily focused on the dark side as a species. But if light and dark are equal, for every breaking, there is an equal healing. For every horror, there is an equally powerful joy and harmony that ensure that horror never wins. In the big picture of course. You can still have many shitty lifetimes. But ultimately, no piece of reality can overpower another, and dark doesnt win over light. So when you ask "why all that crap" well, the because the crap is not the full picture. It's just half the picture. Crap exists in balance with light, joy, healing, reconciliation, renewal. The rotting butt raped corpse decomposes and becomes fertiliser for a beautiful majestic tree. I say humans have a bias toward the dark because everyone wants to talk about the butt raped corpse not every leaf, tree, rock, or blade of grass. We are selecting, through pure arbitrariness, bits and pieces that we want to see, focus on, and talk about. There is no rule that says we should spend our time talking about each grain of sand or each tree one by one, analysing it the way we are analysing each person that was horrifically killed. It's only that talking about horrific situations and tortured entities serves our survival interests better in our quest for comfort and security. But yeah, dont just believe me, find out for yourself.

Chicken feet are delicacies in China btw. That cup is like the equivalent of a pizza or spaghetti themed cup

Example: A kid is often bored in school, yet basic education is life-changing for survival, even if they find it ridiculously boring. So yes, an adult can have the self mastery to never be bored and truly love being disciplined, but that might be too far down the line for people just trying to get their basic shit together. But even a kid in school would do better if they stopped being bored and knew how to love it. Yes, that was me noting your disclaimer

A labour of love is no labour at all. Boredom means you're missing the ever-present grandeur of reality. You don't need boredom to be disciplined. You can simply find real pleasure in it. Your framework has value to newbies who might be at a totally different stage of life.

The Grand Budapest Hotel is flipping awesome for those who haven't watched it

Zekrom. The design is just badass

Part of integrating different perspectives is to see the limitations of them. For this white supremacist thing, it's so obvious that this is kindergarten stuff. @Majed feels sincere and honest in the exploration, and I actually applaud your openness and honesty which is quite exceptional and valuable really. But there is a trap here of indulging in delusion that enables other real fools to have their supremacist ideology validated and rationalized. I think if you added some analysis on how to integrate this perspective in a healthy manner instead of just indulging in it full stop, it could be constructive. But that's not what was done. I agree that there should be minimum standards here

The time spent in that suffering is relatively short. You wake up for 50-70 or more years every single day and everything is fine before you die. That suffering is a blip. It's a very human, but irrational thing to hyperfocus on that little suffering blip in life. Even if you suffer for a few years (and being run over by train is just minutes or seconds!) It's not long. It's short. But you spend years, almost every waking day of those 50-70 years worrying about those few years of suffering, maximum. In that, the suffering you create for yourself is immense. It's not about that moment of getting run over. It's all the years you spend fearing it and suffering in anticipation of it. Instead of worrying every day about those few moments, wake up and say "wow, everything is fine today" and do that every single day. And actually mean it. Then not only will you feel fulfilled, and less fearful, you will be objective in the relative wellness of life. It's not objective at all to torture yourself and hyperfocus over the short blips and worst parts. Nobody makes a forum post saying "today, I was healthy", it's always the short blip, the worst parts of life that people focus on as a part of survival. I do not disagree that suffering is real. It's just that this whole thing (and you're not alone) lacks perspective. So what? Is my question. Live your life. Today I was well, I woke up, I did great things, I lived my life. And yesterday, and the day before that. So what? Instead of worrying the inevitable, live more fully. People are blowing up these suffering blips and hiccups into hairy, traumatic messes and living their entire lives upon this basis and backdrop of crippling imminent fear. That's sneaky delusion.

So much love, thank you.

I was reading some forum members' God reports where I was almost moved to tears. It was incredibly profound, so I was motivated to share my own experiences and realisations so that it may also be of value and help with integration. I cannot share the exact method of the realisations for anonymity reasons, except to say that it was a communion with a certain well known aspect of the natural world. But I can share what I learned and experienced from those tools. Not just about God but also some things I learned about my own incarnation. - Everything is just one giant flow of energy. A finite form is like a little splash or shape that pops up in the Eternal river of life then dissolves again - Behind physical death is Bliss and Love. The all encompassing love is like the background energy that permeates creation. When you die, you are swallowed by the utterly inevitability of it which is the inevitability of the Whole. - The River of all Life can take on a very somber and grave energy in its massive grief, but can also be majestic, epic, soaring, profound - Humans are steeped in negativity. They think they are being so objective, but since the universe is a balance of Light and Dark, people are not actually being objective when they act like normal fearful humans. They are steeped in negativity and fear. If they were truly objective, they would acknowledge the utter balance of light and dark and never let the darkness overwhelm them and give the darkness so much power. For every tragedy there is a resolution, for every destruction there is a rebirth. The darkness never wins. - My obsession with some false construct of a "group" and "society" was a trap of being stuck in a mental model and I lost focus of each individual interaction in my life with individual humans, one by one. Real change happens as you interact with people one at a time in every moment, not by being lost in some fantastical abstract mental model of what you think "society" or "nation" means. A society is just a group of humans anyway. I learned to focus more on my individual interactions as the agent for positive change. - The big question I had was, why all the suffering and impediments to life? I learned that the value of a life is not in what it accomplished or not. Just because a seed fell on the side of a road and failed to germinate fully doesn't mean it was any less than a full grown tree. What matters is that they both had in them the intrinsic nature to reach toward the sun. Same will all life. Do not judge a life by what it accomplished, the value in a life is a given, because every life reaches for the sun. Furthermore life is a just a dream and we wake up into Infinite Love. - I communed with the living, intelligent aspect of God. The universe is very much alive and "sentient", as we are sentient. Duh - I had many visions of my purpose in this incarnation. I saw that all my life I had been too hard on myself, too harsh and demanding of myself and that was me torturing myself. - I saw that my purpose in this incarnation was to live a very comfortable and easy life, although I might have more challenges in other incarnations, that was not my problem now. My purpose now was to just live easy and enjoy life. This was sort of the "vacation" incarnation, even though I clearly still had themes to explore and learn. -I saw that my purpose was to stay in my home country and not move elsewhere that's why I was born here specifically. - I felt a very beautiful presence and I was even shown my future partner / soulmate and how they were coming to me, I got a whiff of their energy signature and felt them coming into my life. - When I started crying during this entire profound experience, as the tears dripped down my cheeks past my mouth, I saw the two streams of tears turn into two powerful fangs - turning my pain into power. - I saw the part of me that is utterly Eternal, Undying, Unbreakable. No harm can come to it because it does not exist on the same level as even the gravest harm. It was utter bliss to realize my eternal undying nature and to finally feel safe, safer than I've ever felt. - But I also saw how my physical body was so delicate and fragile, and to hold it with love and care, not harshness. I was taught to respect that my fragile body is only anchor keeping me in this incarnation. - I was beat over the head over and over again with God Self communion till I had to erase my doubts. It didn't go poof, and then leave me grasping. It was blunt and in my face and did not go anywhere until I had no choice but to accept the reality of it. - It was an incredibly life changing, blissful series of experiences. My whole life changed from then on. It flipped on its head. I felt healed, like I was cremated into ashes and then rose like a phoenix again. I was healed and became truly well for the first time in my life. It was truly medicine. Thank God I am the Living Eternal Light!

@Basman Firstly, you don't know if they're enlightened or not, secondly, they are clearly repressed and neglecting their needs. If you think some mystical states or monkhood is going to automatically cure you of your neediness, that's a fantasy. Celibacy and asceticism is real, there schools where that sexual energy can be transmuted, but many schools just don't have the tools to help their ascetics do this. Maybe it was lost along the way, which is why they end up repressed. But all this is irrelevant to us. We are not ascetics nor should we larp or pretend to be one. If you're not having sex, at least rub one out, repression is equally dysfunctional, that's taking things to the opposite extreme. Most men are lacking balance, it's either chase and cry about sex like a horny dog, make it a big deal, or become repressed, create a sexual shadow and mess yourself up, there is no groundedness.

I second Inner Engineering / Shambavi from Sadhguru. I've not missed a single day in years and the power and efficacy of it is beyond any description I have. I cannot understate how insane it is

Another thing on the population size. When the poplulation increases, the size of the economy also increases so there is a balancing effect because there is also now more goods and services generated by the bigger economy for that bigger population. If you keep the dollar amount constant without devaluing it, it will find its own balance, with each dollar (or subdivision) being worth some amount goods exchanged for some currency held my someone. So again, printing more dollars has nothing to do with it. It's devalued because of excess spending, debt, centralization, greed, and just the function of how a society goes through its rise and fall.

Bonds today are crap. Holding bonds is outdated investment advice from a time when bonds were actually, safe and stable with good yields. Bonds are only for giant institutions who are usually regulated and can't hold anything else, are chasing stability (not that bonds are actually stable) , or can make use of bond liquidity in ways us normal people do not. Bonds and cash will be the first things to implode when the current monetary system collapses. And that's not an if, it's a when. Bonds are the bedrock of the financial system but that's why they will be the first column that buckles Meanwhile we have technologies like Bitcoin which is truly a marvel and prevents this whole currency devaluation thing. If you are only looking at it through the lens of volatility and buy/sell price changes, you're missing the technology of what bitcoin IS and focusing only on its market performance. And then there's new stuff like Bitbonds (bitcoin backed bonds) You don't need to print more dollars to give money to more people. You simply need to divide the existing money into smaller denominations, which is the ass backwards of what is happening. The problem is that the underlying value of the money is being devalued period. They don't care about more population because value of existing currency can be preserved by infinitely subdividing it, through issuing smaller denominations of that currency. Clearly this never happens. Because that's not how things work. When you devalue the currency, you are not helping this, you are doing that in spite of this. As you yourself mentioned, currency devaluation is a story as old as time. The part that you might be missing is that it's dire in all cases - it's directly tied to the rise and fall of civilations and the collapse of their systems. Which is why I said the collapse is a matter of when, not if. Devaluation is real and severe. In fact, it's a bigger problem than most think, because people just see their stocks and assets going up in dollar terms and they think they're getting richer.

The desire for sex / intimacy is always there, but a low level of development leads one to pursue it imbalanced ways. It's about being able to meet one's needs in a healthy way. If not, that's when the desperation and bitterness comes

Right on! Totally agree

Repeating things in a simple, mechanical fashion might be mildly effective for starting out, but I've found far better ways to do it. The way that worked best for me is to actually sit down, contemplate, and deconstruct the beliefs that are holding you back from simply making more rapid shifts. Why believe you need a process of repetition to program yourself? Why can't you just decide, and shift? The mind is already highly adaptable and fluid or it would not be able to learn anything. In fact, when you repeat a lot, you could end up sending the opposite message to your subconscious, that it's really hard. You want to make it easier, but if it's so easy, why do you need to repeat it so many times? Even 5 - 10m is way too much, imo. This is not to say there is no space for mantras. Mantras are for amplifying the realizations that you already had by feeling the truth of them deeply when you say them. Like a reminder. Contrast this with saying a mantra to resolve something that has not been resolved yet, as a sort of simple, mechanical process. Huge difference. Hope this helps

Even something as simple as watching the breath for me has given incredible results, and yoga / kriyas are all about the breath. It's absolutely one thing that many people are severely missing. I do practices every day which aim to deepen the breath over time.

The idea that women have it easier than men is absurd. I don't understand why men are so desperate for sex and meeting women, and like to make a big hairy deal about sex either. I do have a theory, and it's that they have a low level of consciousness/development and therefore act like animals. They don't know anything higher or better in life than sex, such as following their passions, or pursuing a balanced, harmonious state of mind. They are trying to fill a void with sex because life is empty and hollow because they are not living their truth. So sex and women, to them, starts to become this crutch. It starts look like this really awesome, lofty thing, so they become really desperate, but also very bitter at women when they don't get it. And now we have a whole host of toxic victim-based ideologies to support this, where these men who buy into victim-based beliefs can find a community and stew in the toxicity, without even realizing how it's not helping them at all. The solution as a man not to hate women or play victim, it's to nourish, cultivate, and work on yourself.

The Ex Google CEO in the blog video is sitting on the same chair as me, which is the same chair that I recommended on the Products thread. Lol. He likes it too

Leo, said this many times but your work has been pivotal to my development. I would not be where I am today, living a truly great life, without your wisdom and insights. I wish you a happy birthday. So much love! I think you're the goat

@Miguel1 I am conflicted on this distinction. On one hand, making money has nothing to do with Truth. On the other hand, communing with God changed my life and ego structure so radically that after I was reborn, I found that the new me was able to make money easier, mainly because I wasn't drowning in fear. Btw, I am talking about financial freedom only. One of the funny consequences of exiting wage slavery or having to work at all is that you lose a big default way of socialization and meeting people (work). Thankfully I am an introvert

I achieved freedom before 30. Everyone's situation and luck is different. When it's hard, it's hard. People struggle to different degrees depending on what they've got going on. My life was hard, until it stopped being hard. I worked on myself until it paid off and then it became easy. I know plenty of people who did it with a few wise and / or lucky decisions but that might also be oversimplifying. For lightning to strike, you still have to climb the mountain. All I can say is that Leo's work has been absolutely foundational in helping me achieve this, and I absolutely would not have done it without the body of work at Actualized.org

I haven't read fiction in ages, I only read nonfic now. 1. The Silmarillion 2. Harry Potter series 3. Chronicles of Narnia

I am not on Tiktok but I noticed that my FB and Insta are also flooded with slop, despite be being ultra strict with my content curation. This has led me to reduce usage a lot. I've basically soft quit Insta and only skim Facebook to participate in personal development communities and I take long breaks from it. I have been reading more books and e books as a result, so it's a win.
