Genuinely it feels really saddening for me to see you crying in your videos.

@Daniel Balan, haven't you cried about something existential that is deep?

To my shame I've never contemplated or grasped or came to the realization of something as deep as the topics Leo is discussing in his videos.

The part about women not having proper role models for truth really hit me.

I dated a woman like that. She was deeply ungrounded and suffered a lot behind the scenes. I cared for her by introducing her to actualized.org, showing her my ways of thinking, etc. But it's not clear whether or not it really helped.

I wish I could have done more for her.

Do not overlook that feelings and the feminine approach has its own kind of truth that your masculine mode fails to see. This is a nuanced issue. It is not as simple as "women don't care about truth but men do. Facts don't care about your feels, bitch!". No. Something deeper is being said.

Wow, thank you for pointing that out Leo. I notice now how my ego mind is distorting my quest for truth, not seeing how im blindsiding myself with assumptions about what isn't Truth. There is a lot of Truth to be learned from the feminine that I simply am not conscious of due to my biases and predilections.

Then, discover what everything is - at any level. It's not an ideal; it's simply whatever is already the case, about anything.

We can start with our experience as it is, right now. For example, since you mentioned it: What is bias?

Also, begin to notice anything within you that is inauthentic - any form of pretense, phoniness, affectation, and so on - and drop it. That act of letting go alone already calls for a transformation of oneself.

At the same time, pursue absolute consciousness: What am I? What is another? What is life?

Just a few suggestions off the top of my head.

Thank you. Have you experienced the fear of dropping inauthentic aspects of yourself especially in a social context? Like the uncomfortable fear of not putting up a front or a mask that makes you fit in a social domain in different social contexts. Like having the fear of shining too bright around others, especially when you're someone that values truth you don't want to hurt people's feelings and you try not to come off too strongly with your presence even though deep down you know that you're lowering yourself, sacrificing yourself or what's true for what's comfortable for others and yourself. Sorry I digress lol.

Your first sentence is 🔥🎯 I just had an insight! Truth is already what is True. It is itself right now.

so the Truth is that you, Leo, are the only one that exists, and you know that, but you pretend that there are others, whom you teach about "Truth", which by definition is not living truthfully. You want to continue dreaming this dream of you not being alone, so you can appear as the one who cares about Truth, and others dont, so you can continue to teach them.

But in Truth you're teaching me, or rather me teaching myself, right?

Introducing solipsism here might be like inserting infinity of Gods into the proofs of God's video.  Too advanced.  Here it is about holding the highest value as Truth.

I agree. I wish I had someone that could have fulfilled that role within my family. A matriarch. I try to be that for the younger women in my life - namely my sisters, cousins, and the female colleagues I work with. But I seem to naturally slip into this role as others tend to come to me without me reaching out.

I have thought on this quite a lot. It could possibly be that Leo does not have the typical emotional outlets that others who engage a lot on the social domain enjoy - he has alluded to this in the past. That is just my speculation. He could reach his emotional highs, emotional truths, through contemplation, insight and integration.

But I think the greater factor is the realization of truth really brings one to a place of union with all - surrender, oneness, sacrifice. It is about breaking down barriers and distinctions. If you think on what intimacy is between people, or a man and a woman (just a simple example), it is really the honest truth of each being known to the other. It is the dissolution of all barriers between them to facilitate intimacy. This is a total union with other. It is love. To know the other. To know, anything. Truth. This runs through all existence as you (subject) and thing (object). Your experience is the activity generated as a result of the interaction - and to realise you are one with all in union is a powerful thing to integrate. You dissolve that distinction between subject and object. 

This truth is behind our entire existence - what is inside it outside, what is outside is inside. Leo is walking us through these insights in real time, and the pure joy of surrender, distinction dissolution, union and, ultimately, love, can be overwhelming. 

In my experience, anyway :)

When you really have a moment of embodiment, the emotional charge is so great that tears can act as an expression of the joy felt :) 


Deal with the issue now, on your terms, in your control. Or the issue will deal with you, in ways you won't appreciate, and cannot control.

Careful about that.  Don't try to change a woman they don't like that.  But they sure like to change us hehe

Don't expect the field itself to come with truth, you gotta bring the truth to it. Most fields are corrupt by default. Your job is to make it truthful.

Psychedelic facilitator is ultimately my life purpose, well at least very close. Helping people through and after an intense psychedelic trip. Like when you have a super gnarly trip that scares the shit out of you, I want to be of service where people cross that domain. A psychedelic helper. Help people calm down, and surrender. Like a emergency psychedelic hotline for those experiencing a complete breakthrough of reality and they feel overwhelmed and can't help but breakdown.

I can see you being that for younger women.

So are humans existing a good thing? I have wondered this since I was a child. People always went "Save the poor people in Africa!" And I would think to myself, who says saving people is a good thing? What if humans are actually bad for the universe? That's why I've contemplated, "who says getting married is a good thing? Who says having kids is a good thing?" My ex would say "a life is inherently a good thing." And I thought to myself, how are you sure about that? What if the world already has too many people or life forms? What if a life is a bad thing?... because It impedes and deprives on other lives or just other parts of the universe? Why is anything good or bad?

Dude, I lost so much sex because of you. 🙏 Not just telling something's wrong with her, telling stuff that wake bad emotions. Like telling that society is fucked up in some aspects. Not just women, this new version of child guys can be even more sensitive to that. At least women are cute when they are innocent.

The truth leads you to fapping.

Thanks for the insight about escaping the matrix brings you more suffering than pleasure. No doubt people avoid us when preaching truth, it is actually a great survival strategy to avoid such freaks. Avoid us people! we are fucked up.

Your video and this comment made me think a lot on this while walking the dog.

In terms of emotions being truth - in a way, in my own process, I treat my emotions as true. Being genetically feminine I think I probably lean this way anyway, although I have always been naturally more masculine and cerebral in the mind. Always systems and mechanical. 

Emotions are true in that, they are an indicator that I hold a belief that something is true. I do not mean that the belief is true, only that the emotion is felt, and it exists as real to me. It is in how I understand the emotion, that leads from thoughts, that perpetuates in source from the hidden belief (the belief could be true or not). So, I often work backwards, I think. I look at the emotion I have. I allow it to be felt in its entirety so that I am totally clear in what I am experiencing (if you repress or do not allow it, you won't be able to clearly label/understand it). Then, I look for the thoughts that give rise to the emotion. This is where meditation is ESSENTIAL. Or just mindfulness. Awareness of thought. 

The emotion is the reaction to the thought. Unconscious thoughts are the ones that I look for. Because once I am able to identify the thought, I know there is an unconscious belief in operation perpetuating the thoughts.

The belief perpetuates the thoughts. It is the key to unravelling and stopping them. Deconstruct the belief and reveal what is ACTUALLY true - and the thoughts subside. The emotions recede. It ALL stems from the belief - hidden or not. But if you cannot control a thought arising in repetition, it is a great indicator a hidden belief is present.

So, I treat my emotions as true - a true indicator of a belief - and I work the above method in reverse until I get to the belief. Then through enquiry and contemplation I asses its truth. If it is not true - CLICK - that is that big realization you have. When you truly grasp something that leads to the detachment. The emotion dissolves.

So I think that is the feminine angle in operation (emotions are true as in they exist in reality) - but it is 100% plainly obvious one needs a balance and be able to use the masculine contemplation, deconstruction/enquiry to be able to decipher and assess if the belief is true.

It is the source of the emotion that may be untrue, and reveal false belief, not the emotion itself.

Nice explanation. Actually, 10 years ago when I was a lost kid, I had no good rational tools to give me the direction in life. There were the feelings and intuition that put me on the right path. I discovered Leo 10 years ago, but I also discovered other clickbaity influencers at the same time. It was my feelings that told me Leo is more right than those fucks. Then Leo gave me the rational tools I needed in order to direct my life in a masculine way. 

However, for some people, feelings can be deceiving, they stem, as you said from unconscious thoughts. If lots of trauma and bad beliefs drive your emotions and intuition, then you can go very south letting your feminine side steer you.

I really believe that there is possible to find a woman who is both attractive and feminine but rational and grounded in truth. Maybe they are very rare in our broken society.
