Truth Addict

@TheAvatarState Thank you for your response. I did learn about spiral dynamics, and it kind of helped me. But still, I assume it's something to do with my upbringing. My parents are also bad at this, and I was an introvert for almost my whole life. I consider myself at blue/green on the spiral with slightly more yellow than orange. Maybe I need more experience, what do you think?

@Annoynymous I agree. I was going to make a post about this issue. The stuff that Leo is teaching is very advanced, I have been following his content for almost 3 years now, and I still struggle to catch up with him. Okay, maybe we can relate a little bit, but what about others? Everyday, new people start following actualized.org, most of them are not even interested in God, they may need to watch at least 50 hours to get to the point where they can be open to God, let alone trying to understand it, let alone working towards it. Also, I think that a lot of actualized.org followers are already convinced of God, so why spend a lot of time sharing ideas (although always interesting) while work is all we need? Doesn't that make actualized.org just another belief system? Leo promised a variety of topics, even though I think that "Godly" topics are important, but I also think that there should be some interval between them, and that's where other topics should fit perfectly. @Leo Gura what do you think? I know it's your content, but I think we might have some perspective.

@Salvijus I think that's what I was missing. Thank you ?

@Salvijus Thank you! I admit that sometimes that might be the case, but really, even the times I try my best to show compassion, the other end receives it as offensive. For example: Someone on Facebook was making a poem about politics, I felt the anger and hatred in his poem, he ended his post with the following words: "it's obvious, just open your eyes." I tried to give him the ultimate solution for his problem, so I replied: "maybe try closing your eyes, there you may find relief." He immediately got angry at me and took offence and replied with sarcasm. Where did I go wrong?

@LoveandPurpose Authentic= happy, relaxed, confident, loving, present.

@Sven Is @Wisebaxter's Girlfriend Really an Illusion?

Your gf is beyond real vs illusion, your gf is the truth.

@Nahm ? I literally shed a tear..

@cle103 Thank you for sharing! I had a no-self glimpse last week in my dream. I was there, I was it (for one year in the dream), until thoughts started to come up and I felt very scared that I lost control over myself, then I woke up.

Only God knows.

@Ampresus Try focusing on non-static objects, like a ticking clock, and follow along.

@OmniYoga If all the signs were pointing towards hell, where would I find heaven?

I failed to answer even one out of the 10 true or false questions in one exam. (there were other kind of questions).

I think that's some kind of withdrawal effect. We're addicted to thinking and working, in meditation, we're doing the opposite, we're doing nothing. (cutting the heroine from the junkie).

Realising that there's no free will is the first step towards realising no-self. It's a fact, it appears like something, but it is completely something else.

@Sidra in case you're interested.

@Pilgrim I am no expert. But, I think you should try other modes of being a girl, you know what I'm talking about. I think there's something you're missing, because deep down you think that being "nice" is the best mode to be in as a girl. So, for example, try "not listening well" to the guy you're dating and see how that'll work on him. Or try maybe changing the subject of the conversation on purpose ( just to experience) Being always "nice" gives the impression that you are too needy or at least that you value others more than you value yourself, and the partner always wants independence on the other partner side. They want to see true genuine value on your part. That applies to both genders.

Lol, I'm an addict. Nature is just something else ? What questions do you use?

@Belay kelemework Get real man! Imagination is not real. Jesus was pointing us towards the real devil, which is our selfish ego nature. The devil is not something other than us. Where do you find the devil very explicitly? Anger, depression, hatred, jealousy, fear. Whenever you feel anyone of the above emotions, look for the devil inside of you, see how it works, how it twists the truth for its survival. Notice how evil you become when you are afraid. That should tell you something about the devil.

@non_nothing I'm happy for your permanent relief. Nice post, very inspiring! Have you been practising self-inquiry with meditation?

@Belay kelemework I suggest you watch different videos more than watching the same one many times. After you have watched the video: "What is the Devil?". What do you think the devil is? If you think it's something outside of you, then check again. The devil is a metaphor for selfishness. There's no actual devil, it's just you when you only care about yourself and to hell with others. Try imagining a world where you are watching from the outside, just as an observer. That'll be God minus the devil.

@PetarKa A thought of a banana is not a real banana. That's all you need to remember to solve your problems. Stop believing the thought, and start looking for the actual banana. Experience the banana, see how it looks like, how it feels like, how it smells like, and how it tastes like. That will be Truth.

@clouffy The fact that you asked us here, suggests that you probably are gonna do well. So don't worry, you're in capable hands. I'd say, roll with the skid. Give yourself a break, have some time with full absolute acceptance of whatever you do or think or feel, without judging or criticising. Express everything inside of you until you become completely empty, that's where you find yourself. So if you feel like screaming, do it. If you feel hungry, eat. If you feel lonely, go out with friends. If you love someone, tell them or say it to strangers (online is a good place for that). That'll release all of the stress that you've been accumulating over the years. And you'll become very relaxed and peaceful. Only then will you find exactly what you need. The point of depression is directing you to find your authentic self, which you've been running away from all the time. It worked for me, and it was very counter-intuitive. Good luck.

@Highest It's like becoming a baby again. You know nothing, but in the same time, you know everything. You are one infinite field of consciousness, you are everyone and everything.
