Leo speaks the truth in this video. After working a job that provided a "comfortable" life for over a decade I started to suffer debilitating headaches. I started hating the job before the headaches, but I was earning more money than I ever believed I could. The money forced me to stay as long as I could. After about 26 months of pure hell from headaches I threw in the towel. Point is I forced myself to continue doing something I didn't want to be doing just for money. My body began to break down (headaches). At the time I didn't realize where the headaches were coming from, but I know now that it was my body's way of saying this is not what you are supposed to be doing. Leo explains that your mind and soul start to rot from the inside out. Unfortunately I believe a lot of people will not learn this from this video, they will probably have to live through it to realize how much of a reality this truly is. Trust me, it's real. Best advice is do what you want to do. There's gotta be something you always wanted to do but EVERYONE told you it will not pay the bills. Screw it! Live YOUR life! DO THAT! Go for it!

SUMMARY - Actualized - Understanding The Authentic Self - Discovering Who You Really Are ego defense mechanism is to say doing certain things is not me eg. leading is not me, being creative is not me, talking dirty in bed is not me, having strong work ethic is not me, etc. is it me or is it not me - game is a dangerous thing you have to get over this game whatever you think is authentically not you cuts the possibility to be this off ---> self image video your authentic you is what you become when you are fully actualized, its an ideal you never 100% become it 2. Level who you are is constantly changing in a real sense there is no real you 3. there is no such thing that is scientifically you ---> enlightenment videos The authentic you is the self actualized you lazy self vs. best self Till your 20s you naturally grow, get ideas, get adjusted to the world, after that many people decide to stuck in comfort not taking no aditional labor, pushing comfort zones, no additional labor people saying its not notural for them to do something us this as excuse to stay in comfort self actualization is not a luxury but it is required to develop your psyche 15:30 Once you grew up You know that you have so much more potential, that you can have so much impact on people To live a self actualized life you have to work on yourself, challenging yourself The greatest fullfillment you get from life are not low level pleassures like food but high level pleasures of self actualization work like growing yourself, pushing yourself and conquering obstacles, being on a heros journey, helping other people, living your passion, sharing your gifts you are growing into your authentic self when you push yourself every day 19:00 Your authentic self would be confident, assertive, disciplined, internally grounded, emotionally stable, on purpose in life, deeply passionate about everything you do, having zero limiting beliefs, knowing you can achieve everything, having a strong sense of power, having a strong self esteem and success, ,knowing you deserve it, having the desire to explore all in life, being fully self expressive, not holding back for anyone, having zero fears, tackling any kind of challenge in life without fears, being 100% positive, having no negative thoughts, seeing the world as a beatiful amazing positive place and wanting to make it even better, being social and outgoing, being generous to yourself with your time and the work you are doing, doing work that promotes you and other people, it means being selfless, being value driven, by higher consciousness,, being in high consciousness state like fullfilling your dreams, being idealistic driven being authentic mean being healthy, sober, fit, lean, energetic, full of vitality, muscular, sexual, highly sexual, comftable with your sexuality, accepting the opposite sex, and also being able to changing sides (feminine - masculine) and you are comftable with that, it means being completely minded and nothing offends you, you are open to be wrong, having ability of how you approach life, having noble thoughts, not patty thoughts 24:00 If you cant imagine being your authentic self this is because you have lots of social conditioning You still are unique, having unique strenths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes as your authentic self you are not you, you are being you. you are not a noun, you are a verb. You are a process always evolving Realize that the self image you have consisting of a bunch of beliefs like how good you think you are in business, in realtionships, as a human being, how much value you have in society these are all beliefs# your self image has been shaped by random influences from outside, by books, shows, family, friends etc. People are attached to their self image, proud of it, this limits their potential When you do enlightenment work you realize that your identity is just concept, a figmentt of your imagination everything that is a thought in your brain is conceptualization of reality 35:00 its a fiction of what is out there !who you think you really are is fiction created by your brain, your ego you will discover that there is no authentic self just live living itself and you are pure awareness of life this leads to the idea of no-self you are none of what you think you are its makes you tensioned, selfish, petty, blocks you to preserve, fight for your self image 37:00 If you let go of your selfish desires, fears etc. you expand out, you flow with life, being productive Whipe of the grime bit by bit until you can trully shine Thanks Leo

Hi Leo! Just wanted to say thank you so much for devoting your time and energy into sharing this information in such a clear, genuine and practical way. I am definitely at a stage in my life of personal growth and development and although there have been many awesome encounters with motivators and inspiring people on my journey, you have been by far the most influential for me on you tube. I watch a new video everyday and no matter what the topic is, I always walk away from my laptop feeling more empowered and confident than when I started. Wish you continued success in all of your current and future endeavors.

[@MaxValdesENT]

Leo, I have been watching your videos for quite some time now and have noticed a change in my life. Mostly positive but I guess there needs to be a negative to balance it out. Enjoying the positive, the negative however is.. idk how to describe it. I've been letting my ego show because I was once a kid who let people walk over me and what not, now wherever I go to avoid that I show my ego. Maintaining my upright posture, walking like a own the place, and making eye contact with people. I may come off as intimidating to some but really I'm a deep and easy going person. The problem I've encountered has been when another "me" walks in the room, a battle of the egos. No matter what the other ego tries to do I maintain my cool and keep doing my own thing and not letting his ego control mine. However, I feel like this constant "battling" of egos wears me down inside and makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong.. I tend not to show any emotion out in public but do smile at the sight of animals and babies. I'm having a hard time smiling at people who don't seem happy and especially those whose egos show. I've had some instances where I have smiled at the ego but that ego consistently tries to battle against mine. Such as today, an ego with sunglasses came in with his girlfriend to a coffee shop I was studying at and they constantly kept attacking me by making remarks about me, I would show them I could hear what they were saying by picking my coffee cup up and looking at them but the guy with sunglasses was persistent. He then, what I felt was an attack on my ego, laid across his gf in a way to demonstrate his power. It was just a constant battle for about 30 minutes until I noticed a family didnt have a place to sit and I got up from my area to allow them to sit. I know if I would have made a remark to the guy about his sunglasses like, "It's pretty sunny in here isn't it big dog?", I would have stopped the comments or at least slowed them down.. It's not really a question but I have encountered this. I like the person I'm becoming but I have had people, such as my mother, call me abusive and ego centric. What do I make of this?

[@ActualizedOrg]

***** You're wasting an awful lot of mental energy on silly, petty things. Your life will be over soon. Is this really what you want to spend your time on this Earth doing? Playing these silly games?

[@MaxValdesENT]

It's very mentally exhausting and really I don't want to play petty games.. I come from a place where I was once isolated, I'm mainly mental and I find myself overthinking things.. I just want to live a normal life where I don't intrude on others and where I don't let others intrude on me but at the same time being a good person. Most of the time I want to be left alone but I also thrive for human interaction, someone who understands where I'm coming from and I know what I'm doing is only pushing people away but I can't help it. I want to destroy this defense mechanism I have.

[@ActualizedOrg]

***** Keep following the videos and taking action. You'll get there in baby-steps. Adopt personal development as a hobby.

I actually can feel what you mean by what you meant by being the "Actualized self" its like higher consciousness, its like being aware of your actions, every minute every second..The Example of "Sun with Grime" is just so perfect.. thank you so much... makes me realize that I have been soo stupid all my life.. and post watching this video its like how much better it could have been... but its never too late.. from this point on I realized that your life can actually go to soo many different directions...Cant thank you enough.. cheers buddy.. many thanks.

Leo, do you prepare for your videos? Do you read your notes during recording or do you improvise the whole thing? It's hard to tell. You seem to be improvising, but you do it too well.

[@hanshintermann1551]

I am wondering, too, to be honest :D A lot of people just write down a rough outline of what they are going to speak about and improvise HOW they say it, so maybe that is what he does, too.

[@ellesbells902]

humanyoda A curious mind will wonder this! Maybe he wants to keep his secret. In the end I figure a deep understanding of something allows one to speak in a constant, passionate flow, as the topic becomes second nature. I could go on and on about what I'm passionate about, and my sister-in-law described me as someone who speaks in a way that reflects a stream of consciousness. It was kinda rude but hey thats her. She enjoys being the center of all attention.

[@RyanMoran]

Yeah, this is super hard to do... it's a mix between really knowing the topic and having produced 100s of videos over years.

Leo, I relate to you a lot. I've been calling it "studying happiness" for a while, what I've been doing, but I see now that it could also be called "studying enlightenment". I feel that... what you are trying to achieve by making these videos is very similar to what I want to achieve. Helping people live happier, more fulfilling lives. Helping people break out, break free, and reach their "highest" (though as you mentioned, unlimited) potential. I'm still traveling on a path I made for myself, and taking care of some things I really want to do, but this is the kind of stuff I think and write about all the time. I think I've written more essays now, than I ever wrote in school. This is the kind of work I envision myself doing. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in all these videos.

[@narutomagic]

The problem I see in myself isn't a lack of understand or willingness to understand all the concepts you explain in your videos.. or even a lack of belief. It's more like a lack of motivation, how do I motivate myself to practice and implement your ideals more into my life? I know I want a better more positive mindset, I know I want to let go of my self image and realize that i am only pure awareness of a universal reality, but taking steps into that direction is always difficult for me! I'm introspective in the sense that I know my rationalizations, I can articulate and understand them.. I'm aware of the hidden thoughts I have on myself and know that they're having a negative impact on my mindset, but i'm refusing to "let go" i'm refusing to take away the power these thoughts have on me. I also struggle with impulse control! what actual non theatrical steps can I take to really force myself into getting the confidence and strength to adopt new ideals?

When I was listening for the first time I thought the same but then I realised that it has a purpose: it's for people to identify, and it's important because if you don't hear something that relates then you might not think you're not in the same boat when you actually are. The more examples he gave the more I realised that I actually had this problem

[@RobSouthernMusic]

Very inspirational and captivating, though I have to keep myself in check and be aware of not putting people on a pedestal... he is amazing, no doubt about it, though if he wanted to start a cult and take all you money and control your mind and your life he could soooooo easily do that in a sleight of the hand (with the concept of melting away your identity so that what remains is his definition of identity for you... I feel the light trace state that he effortlessly commands, anyone else?) I'm not making that judgment about him (that he will be or is a cult leader), but I'm saying there's a knife edge of a fine line between being inspired and being in awe. Maybe it's about hearing the message detached from the person, rather than thinking the person is so great because of the message they share. How do we remain inspired and also keep ourselves in check from not ending up in a cult six months from now? Any thoughts? Anyone else share the same concerns? Any practical ideas? Am I being overly cautious or is this a discussion to be had? Having said all that, I really do think the messages he shares are pearls of wisdom.

[@cxa011500]

Awesome vid! Very good stuff. I'm going to have to watch this again several times. I watched the other video about How To Be Yourself and it raised questions for me that I feel this video answered very well. I feel like I've heard these ideas before, but somehow I didn't understand. It seems like some ideas require repeated exposure to, in different ways in order to be fully understood. I've definitely been one of those who has said "that's not me" in reply to suggestions about how to improve myself. From now on, that won't be me. :)

Every time I watch these kinds videos, I feel more connected to who I am meant to be. Thank you for guiding us on this path of self-discovery. 🌺

[@thrmove6915]

Hey, I wanted to thank you, for every single video you uploaded. Thank you! From now on, I'll follow evvery your video, and thank god I accidently find you! :)

[@ActualizedOrg]

You're welcome :)

[@AmyLaVonne]

I love your channel.

[@Thundertimi]

Leo, i truly find your videos helpful and stuff, but your videos should not be so long. Everyone gets the point with 3-4 examples, you don't have to make so many of them and get to the point faster. People with attention problems find it hard to focus that long. Just a tip to improve your videos! Thanks for help tho!

[@2tephenson]

shut the fuck up

[@TheTony1347]

Somebody got triggered

[@ZenCodeMonkey]

Disagree... Expand your 10 sec ability to focus.

[@Thundertimi]

i'll work on it

[@yamchathewolf7714]

Ukkostimi Watch his video "be fucking patient", anything that's worth learning is worth taking some time to learn it. And at least for me, I like when he goes in depth with these videos and doesn't just say the main points and that's it.

[@joseavila1892]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@FlyinColorz]

These videos just make my head hurt. Too much analyzing and shit. Just be a simple man. Be who you are. Don't change because someone doesn't like you. Do what you want. Do what you love. And you will find the right people to love.

[@ActualizedOrg]

If you want to go really far in life, you will have to analyze your life a lot. Would you tell a NASA scientist that he's done too much analysis in planning a trip to Mars? No. Well, your life should be more important to you than a NASA mission to Mars.

[@FlyinColorz]

Actualized.org what do you mean go really far in life? Of course life takes analyzing but this is over analyzing in my opinion. You don't have to over analyze everything to go far in life. You're right. You will have to analyze a lot but not too much. You will just drive yourself insane. Be authentic and real. Be who you are. And for some people a nasa mission to Mars is their whole life so that is very important to them. Others they could care less. I personally think that over time you will find who you are. Life will force you to be who you truly are. No video or another person is gonna to change that

[@ActualizedOrg]

***** Without deliberately designing your life, you will get what most people get: which is a very shitty and miserable life. Far below your potential. Thought must be put into this endeavor.

[@FlyinColorz]

Like I said before, I agree that life will take analyzing. For me this complicates the problem of finding yourself even more. Different strokes for different folks I suppose

[@ZenCodeMonkey]

What you are saying is its hard so you wont do it?

[@TheWayoftheSith]

@Actualized +Actualized 1) Self-realization & self-awareness 2) Socialism 3) Stoicism 4) Form a checklist

[@RebeLJiggs]

Wow this topic is deeper than I thought it could be! Do you do personal sessions??! I could really use some guidance in my life to move in a better direction in all aspects of my life! I want to overcome negativity that I believe I've created

[@shephelj03]

The most important part of life is understanding and being comfortable with death. Its our final destination. So in a way overcoming fears would be a good start and that's usually everyone's journey. I would never regret though and I would rather just accept the journey you were on. We are throw into this world and I personally wouldn't recommend bringing more life into it. I'm on a pointless ride which is real and scary and I have to now experience death at some point. It's annoying as fuck lol. I think the killing of god really fucked us up man.

[@ryangenereaux1922]

You mentioned that who we were in the past in not our authentic self. But who we can possibly be is our authentic self. When I was a child, especially around 12, I was good in school, bold, expressive, funny, a confident public speaker, social, creative, passionate and loved learning. Are you saying that this was not my authentic self, and my authentic self is even more of what I was at this age? If so, this is a very exciting prospect. I don't think our potential should be limited by youth. I think that our imagination of what is possible is just the beginning of what is possible, and the more we act into, and become the initial aspects of what is possible, the more possibility we are capable of imagining and moving into, and our bodies will transform to fit the authentic self that is capable of fully expressing what we imagine ourselves to be in our highest form.

[@Mikedc100]

A lot of good points but I disagree with the be sober 100% of the time. LSD and some other drugs gave me so much insight and perspective that I couldn't get any other way. It helped me grow and develop as a person and had such a positive impact overall

[@Patrick-sg7cm]

Does my authentic self want a six pack? Hell yeah, it want's a six pack of Bud Light, although any kind of beer will do, lol.

[@itsAuffy]

Amazing.

[@Patrick-sg7cm]

While I am waiting to shed this meat suit, my authentic self wants to eat, drink beer, sleep, have a roof over my head, and have a job so I make enough so I can be comfortable until that day I finally shed my meat suit.

[@markusengfelt9128]

i discovered i was nervous and scared around people and i fight when i get scared !

[@daichibarcelona2052]

Hi Leo!! Your first quote explained everything!! I would like to know more quotes that have inspired you in your life!!! And actually I am making the list of quotes of your words in my quotations diary!!! Haha!! I'm always a big fan of your videos!!!!! I also want you to help me by explaining "how to get along with people who are not self-actualized and unwilling to open up themselves". In my workplace I have to deal with people like that!!!!! XD

[@ActualizedOrg]

I am going to continue the Profound Quotes video series, which will be 100+ videos of the best quotes I've run across. So stay tuned for that. Here's how to deal with not self-actualized people: How To Exploit People To Grow Yourself - An Advanced Technique

[@floydblack5882]

This. Is. Going to. Take. a lot

[@bluediamond8471]

The real me loves life loves creativity and is strange and wild

[@lasoundwaves]

So I’m just awareness? Please, elaborate more on that!

[@NeiltheNotSoBrave]

This is fucking amazing stuff. Man, I am glad I found your videos. Thank you very much.

[@TheEpicBuddies]

32:47 lmao, sounds like Leo almost said the N-Word (I know he isn’t, he woulda said “name”)

[@TheThinkingLens746]

Very helpful thank you, Leo ❤️

[@madelyntoday7093]

I just have the tiniest little advice for speaker in this video. Instead of telling people the actualized person isn't fat, why not just tell them the actualized person gets right and does quality exercise everyday. If someone does this they will see an improvement in their bodies, and you can start being a healthy eater and exerciser over night but its going to take a while for a overweight person to become thin. I started rewarding myself for positive things by saying "I'm proud of you for walking up that hill 10x today." But, I can't say to myself, "I'm proud of you for being thin" I'm not there yet. Plus, the being thin part doesn't seem like the accomplishment; the walking does.

[@madelyntoday7093]

I meant to say, "the actualized person eats right and does quality exercise."

[@lawtruth3872]

Did he die from Shroom OD? I liked him the poor guy RIP Léo

[@Patrick-sg7cm]

The authentic me is waiting to shed this meat suit so I can experience all that is.

[@lunaeverwood4007]

You're awesome just a small suggestion, I know you have a lot of important things to say, but maybe make the videos a little shorter? like maybe have two versions of every video the full one and like a five minute one that sums up the ideas

[@leticiasoares3653]

Leo, what are ur thoughts on reincarnation?

[@coatcheckgirl2001]

Awesome ass video !!! Thank you Leo

[@googlegmail638]

As I believe Leo has been preparing for every video for years, in his mind(fullness). He knows what he talks about and I really don't think he needs a manuscript. Actually I believe, IF I understand him right that is, that a manuscript would perhaps limit him since it is all ABOUT being right there right then. But sure, maybe he use a clock or a timer and if I were him the opposite wall would be organized with inspirational words. But, then again, I am only guessing. ;)) /Millan

[@LENNYPMA]

My authentic self wants a double cheese burger

[@zahra7755]

Yesterday I had a lucid dream. I entered with the intention to ask "Who am I?" So I asked a dream character and the answer I got was; "You're calm and you are what you want to be." I mean, fair enough, want to be creative? you are. period. but what if I want to be loud? 🤔💭 Not that I would want that, I'm good with being calm. I guess there is a difference between calm and open/spontaneous.
