He didn't fast for 40 days, that was a lie.

[Jannes]

Whut!? But he filmed himself and lost a ton of weight. 

Maybe if there were some off camera moments he ate something, I am not that deep into it.

Love this. His point is that it's important to want to understand everything about reality, including the bad/negative stuff. That's having cognitive empathy. Actively avoiding the negative aspects of life is survival. If we can consume, digest, & metabolize the negative stuff, it won't make us weaker, it ultimately makes us stronger, more aware, and more capable of seeing multiple perspectives. It's just like how feeling into a negative emotion, like allowing yourself to cry is so healing and therapeutic. Toxic positivity is a real thing too and is rooted in fear & denial. 

This here is about not avoiding the negative aspects of life. Survival is important. We are here having this talk because someone survived.

He was eating watermelon and God knows what else the whole time.

Why would you trust anything he says? He will lie about anything for clicks.

Epistemic pervert through and through.

That's why associating him with my work is so galling.

I don't know about connor faking it, but I know 40 day fast is viable.  Especially at the weight he was at.

[Natasha Tori Maru]

No way did Conner fast for 40 days. As if you believe anything that comes from that blokes mouth 🤣

He probably did a 200/300 cal/day fast or something. 

[Leo Gura]

The only reason he did that 40 day fast narrative is because he was trying to pretend he is Jesus.

It's transparently stupid.

His entire online persona is an abomination to truth.

I dont know the exact setup, but he filmed himself over the 40 days 24/7 as proof. I havent watched the stream but if it was made setup transparent with cameras everywhere it would be pretty hard to fake. If not he would have probably cheated. I dont know. 

He made a video where he said he broke the fast with watermelon. 

Yeah Connor lost it but I have a bit of a weakness for crazy people. I can't explain that easily.

I want to push back on the last blog post. How are sociopaths godless? If we’re being objective, these personality disorders like sociopathy and psychopathy are just differences in the brain and psyche.
To call them godless is a weird moralization that’s uncharacteristic of actualized.org.

Couldn’t there be a god-realized sociopath/psychopath?

Sounds like total BS.

I do not believe he was on camera 24/7 for 40 days.

When you don't see his mouth on camera, he is shoveling food into it.

He showcased his apartment to show he didn't store any food. Ofc it could have been a trick. But also it's possible to survive a 40 day fast especially as a young healthy dude. 

If it was am actual fast it means he was crazy enough to risk his own life with a pointless fast, if not it means he is a liar. 

[Natasha Tori Maru]

@Jannes I don't think anyone is contesting you can live for 40 days without food 💀

It's definitely Conner's authenticity that is up for debate.

Dude is sly.

The amount of weight he lost in 40 days, is something you would expect from fasting for 40 days.

[Monster Energy]

@Leo Gura 

Leo, come on. It’s actually more likely he did the 40-day water fast than not. The guy literally livestreamed most of it, showed the weight loss, and documented the whole thing the entire time. A fast that long is extreme, sure, but it’s not impossible; people have done it before, especially if they take electrolytes. So unless he was secretly running some Oscar-level performance the whole time, odds are he actually did it.

Of course it's possible. But he didn't do it.

I am not discussing him any more. Wasted enough mental real estate on him already.

My teachings assume an exceptional degree of intelligence, responsibility, and maturity on the part of the student. I am not going to go too far out of my way to save you from yourself. There is enough rope here for you to hang yourself. That's what freedom, truth, and sovereignty entails.

I can't speak for anyone else on the forum, but I think I understand.

It wasn't too long ago that some Actualized content felt too much for me to handle.  I don't frequent the forum as much because I still struggle with basic things to do with managing my emotions and depression/anxiety.  I can't see any good reason in seeking high spiritual understanding if I still have regular human baggage still to deal with.

I'm aware that interpreting things incorrectly can make all that stuff worse, and it's my responsibility, I wouldn't blame Leo or anyone else.  I felt compelled to write this just in case there's maybe other users here who are maybe similar to me, still quite young and have a lot to experience in normal life.

There's no shame in giving this work a miss until you feel more well-adjusted.

My mind doesn't even think like that. Everything that I teach assumes you are of sound mind, but given how many people are bat-shit mentally ill drug addicts, sociopaths, and perverts, I can't account for that. The deeper I study mankind the more I realize how few humans are of truly sound mind.

@Leo Gura Have you considered stopping teaching in the last 10 years because of this?

If so, what was the reason that you didn't do it?

Never.

Mankind needs truth.
