If you haven't, it might be useful to look into Jordan Peterson's work up on YouTube.

1) The Hindu (Advaita Vedanta) perspective 2) The Buddhist perspective Consciously living my everyday life, I choose to be everything.

Leo, have your understanding of Law of Attraction shifted after moving into the Turquoise stage?

Maybe, in subsequent years. VR is still fresh. The way it is growing, I expect VR to penetrate mainstream media in one or two decades.

I have recently bought a VR headset with the primary use of designing and exploring my models in immersive environements (I am an Architect). I have also used it for visualization - of facing the things I am scared of. I have used it to simulate a packed auditorium where I'm giving a speech, I have used it to simulate a beach when I am meditating (just for the experience) - my regular meditation practice is free of VR. In all, I am using it to expose myself to new situations in accordance with the vision of my life. This makes me feel better prepared for situations otherwise I'm dreaded of. I am aware of the ill-effects VR can have on one's psyche, especially if overused - and am careful about that. I'm curious about what other uses can Virtual Reality be used for other than visualization and training the subconscious mind, especially for Personal Development. What do you think?

Leo goes back to business and talks about the common area between personal development and business. How do you build your unique brand with your values? How do you build value and let the world know your presence? It might have been covered in the Life Purpose course. If it is, do let me know.

Just the way Meditation(and ultimately enlightenment) make thinking(using the mind) way easier and efficient, does disidentification from the body make it easier to work upon? Someone not wanting to work out anymore after enlightenment is an entirely another discussion. // Don't tell me you didn't saw this coming.

@Siim Land Interesting. On his Wikipedia page, I found this: Greene is an avid artist who often creates self-portraits to help himself build and maintain his ideal physique. In August 2011, he exhibited some of his work to the public; at the exhibition, he stated, "As a professional bodybuilder, I'm a master sculptor. The art show made me realize that I've always been an artist: my medium the human physique. My life is what I make it, just like the art I've produced on canvas and on stage. This art show makes this statement. I'm celebrating some personal accomplishments and my own artistic expression." A heavy use of visualization, it seems!

Do you ever wonder that you'd have another Life Purpose if you had explored more career options? Or did you just intuitively knew that that's it? This is a more general question; in a '14 video about life purpose, you mention that finding your LP is like peeling an onion, every layer looks like it last until you finally find it. For an everyday person, trying a lot of different things and exploring a number of options seem like the right way to go. Please comment.

Integrity as more than mere moral issues laid down by society. Personal integrity, why it is important and why going against one's integrity bring one suffering.

I'm building a list of people who have gone on the hero's journey and have worked for the betterment of the world, implicitly or explicitly, and have (had) an exemplary life, in no particular order: Friedrich Nietzsche B. R. Ambedkar Gautama Buddha Arundhati Roy Howard Roark Jaggi Vasudev Alan Watts Ludwig Van Beethoven Leonardo Da Vinci Charles Darwin Larry Page Barack Obama Marcus Aurelius This list is limited to the people I've read and know about (so there is a certain bias ) and is open to debate. Let's build an inspiring list!

Improvised repost of an older thread by @David1 : When looking into the imagination, I found this description on Wikipedia : "The common use of the term is for the process of forming new images in the mind that have not been previously experienced with the help of what has been seen, heard, or felt before, or at least only partially or in different combinations." Isn't this exactly what nature is doing and has been doing since the start of the universe? Combining subatomic particles into atoms, then combining different atoms into molecules, combining molecules into ever more complex organic molecules until life came into being. From that point on we call this process 'evolution'. From unicellular organisms like amoeba, multicellular functioning organisms with essentially the similar system. İn other words: forming new things, with the help of what was there before by using that in different combinations. Very similar to 'imagination' if you ask me. So we could say we're living in 'imagination'? We're imagined beings capable of exerting imagination ourselves ;D. Isn't infinity, all possibilities, everything goes, an inherent quality of the imagination? After Leo's last episode on Absolute infinity, this goes deeper than it first seems to. Is the role of human imagination much more than we consider in our everyday lives?

There seems to be a direct relationship between the libido of a person and their overall success in life. This is important to mention that in an experiment conducted on mice, male mice had a diminished libido when constrained to only one partner. This aligns with what Leo mentioned in his video: Masculinity vs Femininity. That is, males have a biological need of having multiple sexual partners(MAYBE, that just comes from the natural requirement to pass on the genes - the more partners, more probable it is that the genes are passed on). Is being sexually restricted by society a possible reason for men settling in life for what they have and not growing themselves? Having said that, I have observed that the lives of most successful & creative people are filled with multiple romances and marriages. Popular examples include Einstein, Salman Rushdie and John Berger. This seems more apparent for people in creative fields. Is there a link between sexual drive and creativity? What is your take on this?

There is a term called Polyphasic sleep; which is basically sleeping multiple times a day. You can start triphasic sleep schedule to start with.

Leo, not a question, a request. Even after the full-blown Enlightenment experience, as much you'd gravitate towards silence; please stay active within the world. Your work is irreplaceable.

Leo, do you think it was important for you to chase women and completely annihilate all that came up to you as 'your limitations'(That is, now you know that given the time and space, you can do anything you'd want to; be it picking up women or writing a movie script) - to find your life purpose and allow yourself to be completely absorbed within it?

Porn is one of the biggest industries in the world right now. 28,258 users are viewing porn every second. Put into society? By whom? There you go: SPIEGEL ONLINE: Those in positions of power have sex with the secretaries; they assault hotel maids, or at least are accused of such, and sleep with the nanny. Is there a normal percentage of oversexed people among powerful men, and it's just easier to notice their lapses, their misconduct, because they are so visible? Van der Dennen: Both may be true. Powerful men have a both an overactive libido as compared to 'normal' men, but they are also more willing to gamble that they can get away with their sexual activities whenever and wherever. Power is a great aphrodisiac, as Kissinger said. Powerful men almost automatically expect other people to do their bidding. Sex is just part of that game. Powerful women also have larger-than-average sexual appetites.

@Prabhaker Will you try to consider the perspective I'm taking here and stop bullshitting with exceptional cases?

I did mention 'by society' . Let me explain the difference: There are people who would like to engage in sexual activity given the moral conditions are lifted. In a typical family in India, if the father even expresses interest in another female outside of the family; it is considered immoral, and most fathers would never even mention that to anybody. That's why porn works; that's why prostitution works; because nobody gets to know. Mahatma Gandhi, Swami Vivekanada, Narendra Modi(and we can include Tesla), these people have surpassed sexual needs, so to speak. Maybe they never had a lot of sexual need in the first place, but they are rare, and if you believe in multiple births, maybe these people grew out of sexuality in their previous lives. But the majority have sexual needs until they surpass it. I'll rephrase my question: Is sexual repression(inflicted by self or others), a major reason for the inability of people to truly engage in personal development? Sure is; but that's entirely another topic.

Leo, have you ever compromised on Actualized.org content BECAUSE it is a business?
