I have a lot on my plate, so I don't plan on doing another update.  However, anyone is free to update the Textbook and repost it in this thread :)

     I revamped the textbook to version 2.0.  I added links and bookmarks for easier navigation.  I did some general clean up, but tried not to alter too much.  I've attached docx and pdf versions.

    I've also marked which summaries are completed in the Master Videolist in the Actualized Videos Summary thread.  There’s a lot of summaries in that thread that aren’t in the book.

     Big shoutout to @Cepzeu for assembling this book.  Also props to everyone who added to the textbook: Juan Cruz Giusto, TimStr, Huz, Nic, Hello from Russia, AleksM, Dan Arnautu, Sebastian (from Youtube), and others.

This is such great work, I can also expect having Leo's book in the future once it gets released! I will be looking into this work on the forum as well!

Hi everyone :) 

I am excited to announce a little project I've been working on for the past couple of months.

The Actualized.org Textbook!

I have assembled a document of summaries of foundational Actualized.org videos based on the "Start Here" section of the website. In addition, there are some extra video summaries at the end.

A lot of these summaries were written by me but I would also like to acknowledge that a very major part of the work came from the video summary thread and also some YouTube comments. I would like to thank @Juan Cruz Giusto, @TimStr@Huz, @Nic, @Hello from Russia, @AleksM, and @Dan Arnautu from this forum for their significant and very helpful contributions. 

I have tried as best I can to standardise the format, but doing this perfectly would take a massive amount of time. So please do note that the summaries are written by different authors with different stylistic preferences, some with English as a second language. Secondly, there are still small mistakes and probably some typos that I haven't picked up.

This document is best suited for:

-People who have seen the videos and want brief notes

-People who are up to speed with the latest videos and have followed for a while, understanding the conceptual frameworks within spirituality

 

For complete newbies, or people who have recently joined, the summaries may confuse you a little so I recommend you watch the original videos. A lot of the nuance and subtlety is lost in text.

Also,

This is version 1.0 and I have linked word and pdf attachments to this post. 

You are free to download them and modify them as you see fit. However, if you wish to update this version (i.e. fixing mistakes or adding in more fundamental videos) for the community, please keep a couple of things in mind:

- There is a changelog on the 2nd page, so please insert changes made and also update the version number (i.e 1.1 from small fixes or 2.0 when a significant amount of content is added)

- Also, please consider that when content is added, page numbers may not sync up so you will have to update them.

 

Think of this as the textbook for the undergraduate course.

- Watching the video is like going to class

- The textbook is like all your classes in one place in note form.

- To get a good grasp and to orientate yourself you will need a massive theory base at the beginning (i.e an 3-4 year undergrad degree)

- Taking action and watching the advanced videos will be like post-graduate study

- Doing this work seriously and taking massive amounts of action, and going off on your own is like doing a PhD

 

You need to get the basic theory down BUT YOU MUST NOT GET LOST IN THEORY AND CONCEPTS. Orientate yourself, and go take action (a Masters/PhD candidate does experiments in the lab, he doesn't just sit in lecture theatres) 

My main reason for assembling this is I see a lot of wasted time on the forum (myself included) of theorising and arguing and advanced people not communicating at the newbie level to newbies. Don't get me wrong, the forum is a great place and many people have helped me here (thank you!)

This is my parting gift to the community. I saw that I avoided doing the work by visiting the forum too much so I will be leaving to do the work for the next 5-10 years. My main focus is embodying and fully integrating stage orange, green, and yellow, as well as doing the spiritual practices and planning for psychedelic retreats.

Finally, @Leo Gura, I'm so sick of hearing your voice. I've probably listened to 20 of your videos in the last 3 days :) I only now have caught a tiny glimpse of how much work has been put in by you over the past 5 years. Thank you for what you do! I'll still be sticking around for the advanced stuff :)

ummmmm YOU ARE AMAZING!!! All of you that were involved!! How long did that take?


You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! 

So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. 

Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved.

Version 2 of the Textbook has bookmarked links for easier navigation, so you'll probably want that one instead of version 1.  

Here are EPUB, MOBI and awz3 formats of Textbook(v2).

Just be careful not to  misrepresent @Leo Gura 's work. His teachings are very delicate and nuanced. Misrepresenting his work may have catastrophic consequences.
