Very cool and brave to be that curious, knowing that asking for biases is related to unconscious stuff we don't like to look at.

• Vulnerability vs control
• Trust in the power of love between humans above what is transactionnal
• Emotional intelligence and peaking into the unconscous (whether the personal one, or the collective one)
• Processing old emotions by letting them be, instead of doing some intellectual bypassing or spiritual bypassing
• I was offended () when you refused to drink our Great Mother Aya in its original form and decided that pharmascuha would be the superior experience.

So... mostly some feminine principled elements

Would be nice to look at a list and see what gives you the hicks.

I personally had plenty first time I did it, and I should check where I am at now.

This is not clear to me.

Maybe if you were less focused on your biases, you would’ve already realized your lack of biases and written a book or gone to the next level in your life by now.

At a certain point, hasn’t your bias just become eliminating biases?

Everyone on this forum is presumably here because, at some point, they felt they had something to learn from you. I think that automatically puts them on a different level in your mind, simply because of the nature of that relationship.

 

I think that can make it easy to confuse being the teacher with being right.

This is very interesting imo. I don’t even know that I’ve seen it play out but it seems it could be an especially tricky trap.

It’d also be a hard point of contention, with the topics at hand. 

But that’s also what leads me to believe this may not be a super issue for him.

I don’t see him power tripping us. 

Sure, the videos and blog and comments can be arrogant  sometimes! But he also believes that shit and doesn’t care if you believe him.

It is not like he’s ever played the ‘teacher card’ here on the forum.

I would be very curious to know what still gets him curious, though.

Why the African masks?

What other spatula recommendations does he have—I really like the one I got lol.

If anything maybe he avoids the teacher role too much now. Am I crazy?

I think some of his more pragmatic, human stuff like that actually helps contextualize the other work.

It can just be difficult to balance that with reality, sometimes.

"The arrogance". Its fine for me, I dont get offended or put off by it, but when I send your videos to others, they are usually averted to them usually point out the arrogance. So if you want more followers, changing it could help. Maybe also the claims that you are the most conscious person ever it could be true but thats a strong claim. 

Also I am sometimes surprized by the negativity, sometimes even the hatefulness in your blogposts.

@Leo Gura I can't recall Leo claiming he was the most conscious person ever? I feel like his mods are on the same level and most of them are actually much wiser than him in a certain aspect.

@Leo Gura

1. You get fixated on specific topics or points leading to over saturation on the blog. Quality has diminished in this respect and quality has taken priority to driving home your point.

2. You are not very open regarding your experiences with the body in respect of truth. Being more open regarding insights and perspectives in this area would open a huge area of truth left undiscovered and undiscussed. 

3. You often make claims but never produce results, such as course and future videos. Something always takes precedence or you lose focus.

Leo I think you underestimate a daily meditation practice for producing mystical states. But I think that's bc as you said in one of your other posts, you're not very mentally loose, so you need a more hardcore practice like kriya yoga. But for someone who is loose I think kriya yoga can actually be too much.

Your views of Elon Musk. 

He plays a way more nuanced role, than you seem to see in him. He is definitely not your black and white full corruption scandalist. I think money for money's sake is not his top value. 

If he was just out for the money, he would have never done so many life risking decisions for his companies. He definitely put his head on the line for what he believes "mankinds next steps in evolution" should be. Not that I agree on that, but his intentions are not as comically toxic as you make them.

Regarding Biases of @Leo Gura well.

Let me think. What i sensed from you is an obsession of some kind. that somehow consistent with your need of survival and kind of role that you chose for yourself as guiding light for rest of us.

I mean you are forced to keep producing new ideas new stuff everyday or so. I don't know if it is something that comes spontaneously or is it something that you are obligated to keep doing. Since thats whats needed to keep this thing going the Actualized.org.

So at a cetain level its facade that needs to keep moving in some way and you are forced to oblige if i may.  I don't know it has a beauty of it's own. It would be rude to not acknowledg it, But it's an excersie in freedom. It's just a higher system that has to function consistently at so many levels. At one level it's a business, at another it's a truth seeking. At another it's socializing. At another it's refuge for lonely depressed souls. 

I'm just admirer of it's beauty..

@Leo Gura I think you overestimate the value of Actualized.org and your work. I have a few questions concerning this subject and its implications for your life.

Firstly, I'm not saying that you are wrong concerning metaphysics. As a thought experiment I am curious, what would you do with your life in the event that you had a very rude awakening? This rude awakening would be that you were deeply wrong about the way you are living your life right now. In this case, you were wrong about Truth, God, Love, Self, and Non-duality. Not only were you wrong about this for years, but you also spread the message far and would probably have to reverse course to classic personal development or pragmatism. How would you manage something like this? How invested are you in these metaphysical views?

Secondly, you have a similar structural problem to Buddhism which is exacerbated by this medium. In Buddhism, there is this teaching that you are not supposed to be dogmatic and you are supposed to verify such claims before believing them. The problem is that in practice, Buddhists commonly are dogmatic anyway. The same problem occurs with Actualized.org and I think it is to an even greater degree. You can tell us to be open minded and not just believe what you say, but you end up with Non-duality wars anyway. The problem is that you cast a very wide net through this medium rather than restricting your teachings to the very few people who would get maximum benefit from it. The outcome is that you get people at many different levels of consciousness and your teachings devolve into dogmatism in practice despite any warning you give for us not to turn "You are God" into dogma.

We might say that you are "casting pearls before swine" in the case of actualized.org. Your teachings will be bastardized through this medium if it is not restricted to a narrow group who would get maximum benefit from your teachings. Spreading it to everybody runs into these problems. In my case, I would consider myself a swine too because realistically I will not understand these things even if intuitively I believe there is high value in understanding the nature of reality and Truth.

Therefore, I would agree that what you are pointing to sounds valuable. The problem is that the value is translated very poorly through this medium such that it devolves into dogma once spread too far. I don't think this is a cult, but this is probably why people accuse you of running a cult which bastardizes the message further. The value of Truth may be high, but the value of your impact is drastically reduced through this method. Maybe you should find a different method of spreading your teachings to those who are ready to hear it.

How do you know who is ready for what you have to say? I'm probably not developed enough to understand never mind embody these things. I can try to evaluate myself with Spiral Dynamics or other psychological models, but I don't think I fit cleanly into these models due to my abnormal autistic psyche.

Have you ever done a one on one with somebody as you teach them about metaphysics?

Why don't you go out, find the most conscious human being that you can, and then start teaching them about spirituality? How much more likely would your teachings be to succeed if you did direct coaching on individuals who were ready to awaken, rather than spreading it to everybody?

Who are some of the most conscious human beings you can find and how would you go about finding them?
