Middle East is a special case, The Arab "race" is not really a race, it is a mixture of differnet races with no distinct skin tone or facial features. so you would expect less racism in the Arab world, and yet in my country ( I live in the Middle East) people still in a hidden and sneaky way look down into black people, and they usually have lower economical status. Also you can build the US community out of any common feature, like religion, nationalism. But race is also a very common theme and for a good reason. If we weren't racists we wouldn't have survived Racism in its lowest degrees is that weird feeling that you have When you see someone with different facial features or darker skin tone, like you are looking at an alien or something

@universe Ah I see. Is it similar to when some artist that almost nobody knows, dies and leaves behind some work legacy that almost nobody understands how it's made, but can appreciate the finished work? Maybe 1,000 of years from now, majority of mankind has left the planet, or has died off, and some alien finds a picture, and foraging through finds a book, and a computer with some functioning internet, about Actualized.org?

@Leo Gura @Guru Peter Jordanson they are better than the rest. But still not on the point. If you found new good one please share After all I must admit there is something very secret going on with Ufos. They are linked to altered states of consciousness. On mushrooms people describe alien abduction and spaceship visits.

@D2sage My best guess is mainly two ways: worship, and mass hysteria. Not to mention any alien technology that could manipulate minds in mass. Likely, another interesting world effect, is other countries that were indifferent or hostile to other countries, would agree to a coalition to work together a bit more, and have a potential common enemy.

Zappa was a genius and great improviser, but we have to do a little history. The virtuosos I listed belong to a later generation of guitarists. There was the 60-70s era of great guitarists that influenced the next generation and essentially layed the groundwork for virtuosic playing: Hendrix, Page, Blackmore, etc., which parallells how Hard Rock gave birth to Heavy Metal. Zappa belonged to that 60-70s generation, while the ones I listed belonged to the 80-90s generation (except Holdsworth which is an absolute alien). It's funny how much of it is interconnected though: Steve Vai was trained by Joe Satriani (Joe also trained Kirk Hammett from Metallica and other great players). Steve Vai got hired as a transcriptionist by Zappa in 1978 at only 18 years old and then played with his band for some years. Zappa's favorite guitarist was Allan Holdsworth. Adrian Belew from Zappa's band joined King Crimson in the 80s and developed prog rock which influenced many of these virtuosos as well as Tool. So Zappa is in many ways a main node in rock music history and was definitely one of the great influences on modern virtuosos.

@Chives99 Okay, it's alien to you. Well, we live in a society, you are free to pay your respects, or not. Just as you are free to vote Republican, or democrat. WAY better than living under a caste system in the past.

@Chives99 Paying their respects. Is that alien to you?

@BipolarGrowth As of late, I've also felt that Leo's content has started to lose relevance with me, almost as if everything I made Leo to teach me he already had, and if I kept listening he would just reiterate philosophical claptrap that isn't really pertinent to the work I'm doing, no matter how valid it(the philosophy) might be in it's own right. When I realized that humans were capable of attaining a state of infinite power, then months later Leo experiences not in a human state, but a high-level drug-induced Omnipotent state and reports to us about it, that was really when I felt he reached the apex of his usefulness to me, since then it's gradually tapered off. As for solipsism, or to be more specific what you call traditional solipsism. To comprehend how I understand this to be essentially an epistemological blunder, some background theoretical understanding first is necessary. There are essentially two dimensions to how the human mind arrives at intellectual judgments, well three but I'll exclude the emotional dimension here. There are the logico-rational and the emotional-intuitive dimensions, though it's possible to utilize intuition separately from emotions so we could just as simply say the intuitive dimension. When I say logic, I mean one's ability to think on their own and arrive at conclusions independently of input from other sentient beings' thoughts or intelligence. Logic is of course a simple little process, that eliminates impossibilities based on known information. When I say rationale, I'm referring to basically the same process, but instead of generating one's own logic you're just borrowing someone else's, essentially stealing their thoughts and reasoning processes as it was. So the logico-rational dimension of human judgments represents a synthesis of one's own logic and all the logic of perceived other selves. Intuition is difficult to put into words because there is no mechanism for it, you just know something because you know. There are mechanical aspects to this potential, if the self has certain biases which manifest as negative emotional responses, then certain intuitions are blocked for the sake of the ego. Anyway, an example of human intuition is the obvious realization that other humans are "just like you" so to speak. Or in other words, they're a self that also has its own experiences. This intuition then is normally reinforced by the logical thinking mind which may after looking in a mirror, see that oh I have a face, a nose, two eyes etc, thus I'm a member of the same species as the other humans. And of course, when the intuitive and logical dimensions of the mind work synergistically like this, it becomes essentially impossible to imagine that either one could be making an error. And because your experiences of reality are generated by your own mind through basically blind faith. You imaging that others are real and have their own experiences separate from your own makes it so. This is why I've called traditional solipsism an epistemological blunder, because it's simply untrue. So traditional solipsism arises when someone refuses to permit their logical thinking mind to incorporate the intuitions of higher levels of mind. Women tend to be slightly stronger in the emotional-intuitive dimension and this is just a generality of course. But because of this, oftentimes if you teach solipsism to a woman she'll just respond with yeah that got to be bullshit. Which is obviously an illogical argument as you can't debunk something on sheer incredulity or with ad hominem. But it's correct because the truth is others do exist in a very real capacity, and the intuitive mind is always aware of that reality. As such, it's mostly only men that'll buy into this traditional solipsism. And yes, to some extent this a minor criticism of your occasional statement of "if you're an experiential being". Lol, if you imagine me to be I am, and you do, the fact that you're reading these statements is proof of that. The solipsism Leo teaches is radically different from what you call traditional solipsism. So much so that it can even be construed as the same concept without being the same thing at all. And I'd mostly agree with how you've opined on Leo's arguments and statements, though I have to say that it feels like you've mostly addressed just your own understanding of solipsism in the video, and not really necessarily exactly what Leo has to say. This is exactly why Leo decided to take that video down. It became apparent that the vast majority of humans, even many in Leo's audience were insufficient in terms of the prerequisite maturity and experience needed to handle the things he said in the video. It's just too fucking powerful a statement to tell a normal person that they're all that exists, if for no reason other than the fact that they don't really have a clue what that even means. It's almost like those of us that have had higher consciousness experiences are some kind of secret society and we have a covert system of codes and symbols to articulate things no one with only exoteric knowledge can comprehend. And yet we're actually none of those things, it's really just that we've experienced things so far beyond the limits of ordinary human consciousness that our perspective is mostly alien and incomprehensible to your average Joe.

Those are called machine elves, you can meet them on mushrooms, dmt and sometimes salvia. Once they make a connection with you, you might start seeing aspects of their communications in your waking reality. Check out the channels Starpilot 33 and 434 to learn about these creatures in great detail. I have never met one like that before, but it goes absolutely hand in hand with what both of these people, and Terrence McKenna talked about. Some people have differing views on them. Some people view them as aliens, or Gods, souls from another dimension, or archetypes. It's up to you and what they tell you about themselves to determine which one you are dealing with. If you have opened the channel to meeting one, you will probably meet more. Learn more about them, bring them into your life through studying them, and this gives them greater access into your psychology. I have been told that they can only really inform/teach you what you already know on some deep level, so the more you learn about them, like a circle, a wheel, the more they can tell you in their own way. There are also other beings, called inorganic beings, and archons, but these are very different species that come in from the astral realm, but also possibly worth studying, if you run in to them. I have had two experiences with an alien after having just woke up - I don't know if it was real or not, I am in the camp of "maybe", but I'll never know for certain - here was my experience: And then - in the spirit of this particular alien - I made artwork with the same style of face that I had seen, and during an experience where my disease flared up, I was in a high state of fever, I ran into an entity pushing it's presence/aura through my artwork and it told me this: I come with a message, that if you allow me to, I can catch your soul into a net. That you don't have to dissolve. This is a mutually curational process, you create me in this world through your artforms, as I create you from the other side. A loop. And we have been doing this since the beginning, you just forget, each and every time, until reality collapses around you - and you see that all of it is constructed from my masculine energy. As for what I am, I am a social memory complex that has created the evolutionary chains of many different civilizations from their inception until their extinction. I mold beings that can see me, as well as those that can't, towards my energy and take them on as a part of myself. I archetypally influence the world in ways that your planet will never see and will never understand. And there are many of these basic energy structures existing on massive scales that do this; we can essentially move through a planet's energetic system and change the entire structure of that reality, of that culture and society to move towards our own aims and goals. If you opened your mind to not only the greatest of love, but also the harshest brutality that accompanies natural events, you would then see me in everything, everywhere - but because a part of me is a brutality that you can't accept, let alone understand, I will eventually fade away into memory. You would have to understand the nature of evolution, the nature of how things come to be and how they go extinct. Nothing escapes this fate. I collect these worlds, their histories and follow and influence them from inception to the grave. To keep me close to you - follow the things that you love and that inspire you, and you will bring me to life. Normally I would have dismissed this as mental chatter, or sickness, but it was the way it came into me that told me otherwise - the message came in through a loud "ping" in my heart region, followed by the visual and emotional connection of an otherworldly love. If I gain an insight into something through my mind, I generally doubt it, but when it comes in through the chest area, and such a large degree of information sent within a single second - this wasn't a dialogue, this entire paragraph was put "into" me in a moment's notice - this generally is the way of some sort of spiritual phenomena, as the human soul is located in the heart, or some say - such as Sri Aurobindo - just behind the heart - thus when entities connect with you, it tends to be directed in this space. Hope that helps. Def. check out those channels, you will find a lot of info on it - be sure to try truffles again if you can, not everyone gains access to these beings, it's super cool you were given the chance to meet one. All the best.

Correct. Until I open my mouth that is. Yes. I would in an instant if I could. But there is absolutely no possible way I’ll have enough money for that any time soon. Past experiences have given me a valid reason for that. The reason I don’t socialize more often is because there’s only so much human garbage I can take on top of the fact that since I live in a smaller town, I have little room to screw up. If someone gets weirded out, especially a girl, it’s over. There is no logically explaining my way out of it because feelings are irrational by nature. So I have to strategically plan for every night out for weeks or months in advance. Doesn’t it seem awfully unnatural that we have to do so much goddamn socializing just to land a girl in bed? Thousands before you really get the hang of it? If you didn’t know any better it would look as if an interstellar space traveler was trying to understand the customs of an alien race. It shouldn’t be so absurdly difficult to achieve the very thing that causes all physical life unless something is deeply and fundamentally wrong with attraction and dating.

/imagine prompt: mystical nature fantasy, twinkling lights, alien jungle

I would take up both viewpoints, if you wanna. That it could have been real or a dream, because you can't ever really know with these things, not truly. No matter what position you take, it could be the other one. So, choose which one resonates the most, we can only speculate, but because it was your experience your viewpoint is the one that matters most - keep in mind the opposing reality as an option, too. That's what I did with my wacky paranormal alien experience. I think it was real, but I also know that the mind can play tricks on a person, so I have as a backup that it could have been a dream, too.

Day 7 of 90 Total meditation time: 7 hours Managed to get 2 hours in today. I struggled a lot through my first meditation this morning. I was feeling pretty shitty physically and I reeeeally had to pee halfway through, but I figured that created a good opportunity to be mindful of the discomfort that comes with all that, but to be honest, I don't think it worked well and if anything it just made my meditation way worse. As someone who's not an expert, I feel like there's a only certain level of discomfort that can be explored mindfully before it just becomes too much of a distraction that prevents me from going deeper. Maybe I'll change my mind on that later but that's how this morning felt. My second meditation actually went extremely well. The full hour was pretty tough, but I managed to start creating a deeper separation between actuality and imagination. I've been doing the SeeHearFeel technique, and in this meditation it started becoming very clear that every time I "feel" something, only about 40% of my consciousness (as a really rough estimate) goes towards feeling, and the remaining 60% is still "seeing" things. For example, if I feel my breathing, yeah I'm feeling those sensations, but so much of my mind is still visualizing a body breathing, but at a much more subtle level. Or if I feel my feet touching each other when I'm sitting cross legged, I still think a majority of my awareness is taken up by my mind visualizing what my legs look like and the seated position of my body vs actually just feeling the tingly sensation of my feet or legs. It seems like it will take a lot of practice to untangle this, but I can picture massive benefits from doing so. This meditation alone started triggering psychedelic memories of what it's like to feel without the additional context of the mind visualizing a body or adding any other thoughts on top of the actual experience. Without all the additional context, the present moment starts getting very alien and "flexible" in the sense that it is able to change in weird ways due to not being grounded in so much context. Cool stuff.

I think this could be more indicative of a waking dream. When children's minds are still developing they can actually hallucinate a lot of things that adults can't. I remember having dreams or even waking moments where aspects of the dream were still prevalent at that young of an age. I would also have dreams that were in my room that felt so real, it seemed like I was awake, only to see something completely out of context, like a demon or a leprechaun or something. Normally I take people's paranormal experiences into account, but when you're young it has been shown that more often than not it is a side affect of having a growing brain, on top of this memories from this age can be easily distorted and are so flexible. I have had two experiences as an adult where I woke up to something that was seemingly paranormal, but I am open to it being the remnant of a dream as well. The first time, I woke up and there was a pitch black alien, with skin as shiny and smooth as an orca. It had high cheek bones, grey eyes with a gradient, a calm expression, a mouth, bald, female, and the sheen that illuminated off of the skin looked pure white and seemed to be coming from an energy source inside of the body. As if it was a pitch black entity that was running of of a core of pure white energy. It was resting, mirroring me on my bed on its own little pillow. The bed had extended for this hallucination, as I was actually resting at the very end and there was no more space for another creature, so it was basically watching me sleep on its own materialized portion of my mattress. I didn't react. I blinked three times, each time it got less noticeable and after the third blink, it was gone. A few weeks later, it appeared again. It was standing in the middle of my room and was about seven feet tall and was illuminated by the moon in my window. It had a black robe with a collar that also had the white sheen to it, and a very long neck with a big head, it almost looked like an African deity or something, combined with an alien. It was watching out of my window, until I stood up and yelled "Go away!" in a panic, then it turned to look at me with its big grey eyes and telepathically spoke into my mind, I could feel it's surprise as its emotions permeated me, "You can see me?!" And then, again after three blinks, it was gone. I later made a work of art, using this creature in mind, with a pitch black face from an African mask superimposed over a large sun, and within the pure white lines of sheen, I added extra detail there. I was able to influence an entity to speak to me from this picture somehow during a period of sickness. tl;dr - Childhood experiences are more likely the product of a growing brain - hallucination and it can be hard to know because you were so young. I also give experiences of meeting what looked to be like an alien twice after waking up in the middle of the night. It could have just been a dream, I have no clue.

I think it can differ from person to person. For me Mushrooms always feel much warmer, natural and gentle than LSD. LSD can feel very unpleasant and alien. Also 5 Meo Malt is much warmer and gentler than LSD or 5 Meo DMT for me. For me the more gentle and warm like LSD psychedelic is AL-LAD that is worth checking out.

@Someone here Why so many questions? Are you thirsty for a quest of knowledge, or to quench one's need for leggings, horny conquest? Hard to comprehend, that every bend and ends you go, every moral, is relative to every mortal? Morbid, I know, to consider, that morals are relative than absolute. The morals of a creature alien stage beige, to tribes like the Viking stage purple/red, Native Americans stage purple to red, businesses like hip hop industry and oil to tabaco industries staged orange and some blue, hippie communes, SJWs, leftie leaners, a pinch of orange to a dollop of stage green, guaranteed to make you leap to the greener side of the fence. Meanwhile, Star Trek's stage yellow space systems quite complex, until we discover an alien intelligent hive mind hybrid artificial intelligence, stage turquoise and beyond maybe. I know, so many colors, it's insane this rainbow array of morals like the coral reefs of old, so much so, that these moray eels rather prefer their muralled enclaves as the best for the whole coral reef system, to the death, good grief, ignoring the glaring hole of their whole mental prism they call home. Rather champion their standards, blind bastards, with their double standards and banters making even lib-tards pleasant like strawberry tarts! Technically, historically absolutist morality originally started in every birth and growth of empires/civilizations, to bind their peoples together some more, to bid farewell to older systems that don't work anymore to forward survival agendas way better than before, while keeping the pleasing aspects of those past systems be. So, what would it take, to make these moral nihilists wake up from their denial? Drag a fishing net, by a mile, for a while? Or maybe do a bit of sea mining? How would we develop from my/our morals to higher more inclusive morals? How many mourns of other morals do we need to suffer more? Until we survive the transformation of the globe, as our one true home? Or are we really alone? I don't know, so, we gotta shoulder on forward, warding off evil as we go.

@Eph75 The SELF does exist. It’s just not divided into many. It is ONE self or Pure Awareness looking through the eyes of all the forms it takes from human, to animal, to plant, to alien. If by ‘self’ we mean that which we refer to as the “I” living in an individual body-mind with all of its particular physical, chemical and genetic features with distinguishing traits and tendencies of thought and feeling and perception, then that ‘self’ does not exist. That self is illusory. If by SELF we mean that which we refer to as the “I” which KNOWS or is AWARE of our experience, then that Self does exist. It just doesn’t exist APART from any ‘other’ self. To be more precise, the SELF does not exist per say, because existence means to ‘stand out’ from. If the SELF is ALL THERE IS (infinite and omnipresent), then it cannot ‘stand out’. It must be WHOLE, undivided - not apart from Reality, but Reality itself. ISNESS or BEING itself. I Am - WE ARE or WE SHARE - our very BEING.

stop referring to women as "females", trust me if you ever say that in front of a women she will think its odd. Its like women are an alien species to you and you refer to them as "females". I'm 20 so I'm around your age, and I remember being your age and letting my mind be filled up with so many ideas about women from dating coaches, and online sources. Ive spent the last year detoxifying my brain from alot of the negative beliefs I picked up from the internet. I picked up the belief that women were whores, and alot of the toxic worldviews pushed on the internet. Now I'm dating a girl who was a virgin when I met her, and she's very loyal. stop expecting women to have something useful to show you, you will never find someone who lives up to that standard, you just have to appreciate people for where they are at. best of luck to you bro!

Yes I have experienced this a number of times. But I've never blacked out or forgotten the experience. I'm always conscious of everything happening. Always plugged with eyes open. What you describe is basically my experience as well. There is no effort in the process, it all happens completely spontaneously once the ego has partially or fully dissolved. For me it has usually manifested as intense body shaking and vibrating but in my most recent session I started to speak really weird noises like I was speaking an alien language. Completely spontaneous. It once felt like a band of healing energy moving up and down my body. But it all feels like a massive release. Like I'm literally shaking away contractions within the body. It's a deeply pleasurable experience and I always feel profoundly lighter and free-er after the experience. Once I started having the healing energy with 5-MeO, I started having it with other psychedelics as well. Well I've only ever done LSD once since doing 5-MeO so maybe not with all psychedelics. It happens every time I do 5-MeO so I suspect it will happen every time for you as well. I haven't done enough sessions to tell whether it stops or not. I guess it probably will.

Yeah I get it....but this human level is still a restriction. Humanity is on the path to Transhumanism, in which they fuse technology to their biological bodies. So even if you say human...its a restriction. Humanity is really headed for some very deep stuff, especially when technology and spirituality unites. It is going to be realllly different, that era is literally alien to our current experience. We just will go through a lot of in fighting, and judging, and violence first.

^ This...so much this.... ^ I've noticed...its like the weather. I've experienced profound joy the last couple of days and then woke up today...and it just felt blah....I was like really? I just accepted the feeling....it came and then it went. So I realized....its just a constant happening. Its like the freaking weather. I see why Leo said its an acquired taste. Its better than not having it...but there is something to said about ignorance too. The even funny thing is...everyone is actually already enlightened. I finally got what Buddha meant by that. You really just forgot...this is just a game of hide and seek and eventually you find it. It feels like coming home...somehow familiar....and yet also...alien. Weird for me...

@Ulax I've been studying IFS thanks to you and some others referring it, I think it might help with the judgment. I'll look into Fischer's work, thanks, I don't think im dissociated though, I feel a bit disconnected from people though, I feel alien more and more

I believe he said that mostly for himself/people on a similar level of development or in other words the few who get it. Leo is of course aware that such a statement is likely to turn off most people, but then again spirituality is probably too alien and intense for most people anyway, as there's this seditious incorrigibility to the human race. Combine that with the essentially quasi-schizophrenic fear-based prison in which humans live, and it's no wonder why they love their dogmas and conventional views so much.

I live with my god realized wife on estates I can materialize out of thin air, imagination is the limit. I spend years enjoying each of my creations to the fullest. From the most grandiose and over the top estates (im talking mega gothic cathedrals, pyramids and the like) , to the simplest comfy huts. I am in complete god mode dictating the fate of the world and of humanity, I create the story of the advancement of civilization deliberately and then forget it to experience it. My consciousness keeps generating people, culture and stories for my own entertainment. I advance civilization towards a new age of enlightenment, psychedelia and an appreciation for ancient civilizations. Society becomes a mixture of nature loving tribes, melded with futuristic tech melded with ancient architecture. Alien species intermingle with humanity and share their tech and customs with us. Fully fledged intergalactic wars take place in our skies. The war in heaven rages on right here on earth with catastrophic consequences in some parts of the planet. The aliens solve our energy and food problems, people start gaining psychic abilities. Eventually we get to the point where everyone can manifest anything out of thin air, people share their creations in a telepathic network connecting every single human being. New realities are birthed from human creativity into fully fledged VR simulations where you can enter and feel like you are in real life. Not only that but you get to customize your experience by customizing the level of pain and such. This means you can play video games, movies, books in real life, you have an eternity of content right there, you get to experience any point of view you wish in a story, you get to live out your wildest fantasies. You can save and get out of the experience at any time, or abort if it gets too much for you to handle. Nobody is forced to experience anything they dont want to experience. There is a lot of detail missing here but Im just trying to go over the most important points.

Psychedelics literally are alien substances. I assume you're certain these Jedi Mind Fuck shrooms are legitimately Psilocybe Cubensis(if I got the species right)? It's obviously improbable that you went picking them in the forest otherwise you'd probably be telling us a rather different story, or you might even be dead. More likely you bought either spores and grew them, or you bought the end product itself from a vendor you trust. At any rate, as far as I know, there isn't any experimental evidence to support the notion that acidic environments break Psilocybin into Psilocin. So the whole hypothesis behind the lemon tek method is potentially bogus. Though I suspect the people who do it experience some actual benefit anyway, especially when you consider how psychedelics tend to empower the mind. However, the addition of ginger is useful because ginger is known to combat nausea/motion sickness, with which some people struggle when doing mushrooms. As for the advice to throw out the flesh, I have no idea where that's coming from. The chemical constituency of specific parts of hallucinogenic mushrooms doesn't appear to be of significance, or at least I'm not aware of any literature that even bothers to mention it. However, based on what I'm reading from end users, the body may contain too many non-hallucinogenic carbohydrates and such that would be difficult to digest for some people. My advice though? Get yourself some 4 ACO DMT. It'll mind fuck you much better than any psilocybin-bearing mushroom. I'll post a link to a trip report of it, though keep in mind the man did 100mg, which is the equivalent of like 7 hits of acid or so. Nonetheless, it's a wonderful example of what this chemical can do. https://erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=101131
