I am not talking about romance. Or emotions. i am talking about Justice related to the main topic of this thread , the injustice towards woman and children. You Raze, i read you stuff bitter man. Wake up from this bitterness you got somewhere along your path. Add something or just leave. https://www.instagram.com/p/DXP7yjRgRe-/?igsh=MWgwOXBlZHBhZzB5ZA== - Yesterday

I’m trying the app out right now. Perfect for me as I’m working through the material on the life purpose course before the next project begins. I’m in Australia and it’s a 7 day trial. $100 AUD yearly after the trial ends if I continue

There's an argument to be made on the safe use of psychedelics for therapy, and that helping people a lot, regardless of age. (Lets say ages 18-30) But I understand that most of the population is simply too immature to have a serious attitude towards respecting the tool of psychedelics. Just look at the poor attitude the majority of people have already towards alcohol, with the lack of education around psychedelics, why would they treat psychedelics any different? And in relation to Leo's post, you have to admit to yourself that you don't know what is best for you, and what's worse is that only you can decide that, because ultimately you have the authority. And yet, you have to live with the consequences of your decisions. Otherwise you are simply taking what Leo says on blind belief and just conforming to what he says. Which is so so so easy to do.

I like microdose as a pre work out sometimes. I work out every day but take a micro dose maybe once or twice a month for that on the days I feel especially good and capable. I don’t find it useful for focus or intellectual work. It never derailed the all consuming Practice or character building aspect of this work for me. My mind allowed working with macro dosing too at the time though so you might want to thread carefully depending on the state of your character idk.

I tend to overthink a lot and therefore wish to not make this one of those times. However, after some very big life changing events, I have come to find that one of the things that I really need to anchor me into life is an aligned place of work. Specifically, I feel that I need a place where I can really weave into a social fabric. For example, I used to work at a gym when I was younger. After time, I came to know all of the regulars and really felt like I was at home. Now that such a place has been missing in my life for some time, I have realized just how important it is for my system. At the end of the day, I like engaging in deeper socialization and relationship building. I’m sensitive, but I’m also relatively mature for my age (22). Take that with a grain of salt obviously. Starting too young, I dug into a bunch of philosophy and spirituality and somewhere along the way, got caught in the exact trap I was trying to avoid with it. Long story short, I had a nervous system breakdown which was the result of a “dam” building for months, if not years. That was some months ago now. I’m still rebuilding. I have had a job since then. It was at a cafe, however, it ended up being too overwhelming and fast paced for my system. I was let go and felt relieved about that. I have learned enough to know that what I need at this point in my life is that social hub I just talked about with the gym. Doesn’t have to be perfect. I know how problematic chasing that pot of gold is. But I DO need a place that I am aligned with. My pickiness is truly a thing, and though I tend to be resilient and moldable, I ultimately work best in a place that is aligned instead of just settling for somewhere that is enough. What I’m doing at said place doesn’t concern me as much as how I’m doing it, where, and with whom. I want to be around people like myself in a way. I’d really love to make friends and open myself to the ability of intimate connections. Again, a social web that is more than just casual and not stale with only the same people. I am at a point in life where those things are at the forefront of my desires. Not going after them is just foolish to me. Not that I’m even chasing, it is just a system necessity. So, yeah. Basically, what places of work would you recommend? I’m not looking for any spiritual advice or anything. I have no interest in that at this time. If you have further questions that’d help extract further direction, feel free to ask. I will mention that I’m definitely one who tends to latch onto others for self-authority. It feels very comfortable for me to try and outsource my self to someone or something that feels “higher” up than I am in whatever way that might mean. Health, relationships, money, etc... I suffered with this problem big time watching a lot of Leo’s videos late into my high school years. Yes, I did benefit in some fundamental ways from watching his content. However, I also, at some point, allowed indoctrination to set in. A big part of that came from listening to what he had to say, digesting it, but not actually acting on it. Indoctrination is a strong word. I'm not accusing. What I'm saying is that I came to develop a subtle, quiet, but very strong mental framework of beliefs, ideas, visions, etc... A lot of that came from Leo's content, because I held it as THE highest content. Now? I’m dealing with the fallout of those mental frameworks. However, unlike before, they now no longer apply to me. My system rejects them and I see them for what they are. Simply enough, they just don't fit me. When they appear, it is now a deep rejection instead of a mental cushion. (I mean no offense Leo. I appreciate what your work has done for me. Even the bad.) I only mean to say all of that as context so that I might receive better direction for you, or anyone who wishes to comment. I'm looking for places to work based on my specific desires and needs. That is the real question here. I have ideas and have applied to places, but I’d like outside perspective from people beyond myself, family, and AI. I tried to lay out everything essential here on the table. Again, I’m an open book. I'm willing to discuss most things. Feel free to ask.

Who told you you are "eternal consciousness"? You're not infinite my friend. You would have to be deluded to believe that. In most nonduality circles, they'll tell you "you" do not exist, which is much closer to the truth than that. Infinity and eternity belong to God. You are a limited, finite human being. But the possibility is to realize that the whole framework is non-existent. No, this is not what he wants. Does an adult with cancer want to have cancer? As an individual, we do not have total control of our realities, because God exists and His Will supersedes ours. Why He does what He does is beyond our understanding. -

That's normal, you need to awaken to figure what is truly going on. Without awakening you will never find out the truth listening to people. You could just wait till the end of your human life to find out what was going on. -

Just found out that there are likely some costs coming if I just want to maintain an empty company. That really sucks. I just wanted to create a company to just have it done once so that it wouldnt feel as scary anymore. Well one thing I can do is create my own website.

Some form of communism can probably work in a pure stage Green society. It failed because classic communism had too much baggage and the cultural context wasn’t developed enough. It would fail currently because stage green is too toxified and society isn’t far enough into green.

Other surveys find evangelicals divorce at the same rate https://www.christiantoday.com/news/us-evangelical-christians-are-divorcing-at-the-same-rate-as-the-general-population-study-finds Also this is just cherry picking a specific group. Evangelicals have many other issues such as living in rural areas that got harmed by jobs going overseas and the opioid crisis.

That’s nonsense. Justice isn’t what makes a relationship work, emotions are. Women will clown you for thinking there is any justice in the realm of romance. -
A sense of purpose, or the sense that you are contributing value to other people, does override lonelines. I get such a good feeling when I objectively know that I contributed to something worthy, that the good feelings from it can last for the rest of that day. It's actually pretty decent ROI from a completely selfish point of view in terms of mental health. Girlfriend is not even that important, who cares. But volunteering would be lowkey underrated if it was more common and available, but it's not so much really. Also not that easy to make yourself usefull to society, society seems to need us less and less as time progresses. Maybe once all the jobs dissapear people will just start going out for no reason whatsoever cause they'll be so bored, and create problems out of thin air that they'll be able to volunteer for

@integral you got no kids or wife yeah? Not sledging you at all. But... Got nothing to lose! You'll just need to reach out and connect with people who have done similar shit. I work in this industry and no one knows what they are doing, I can assure you. Every project is so unique, it'll have shit you've never seen and solutions you've never used. To excel you just need to be a solutions problem solver. And drive at it. Sometimes I run into huge design issues and have to take it off the hands of architects and engineers to keep the project going (just have to submit your proposal for approval). I call people, email, nag. PM people on social media I don't know. The results I get a purely because of my ability with people. I know how to motivate them help me. Approach it like that. Even if you know a builder who knows a builder who has done something strange and off beat. Milk their brains for info. If you go a simpler box type place I'd contact people who have purchased them and the supplier. Suppliers just want money, but if you can find someone who has purchased and speak to them? Priceless. The internet is filled with fake reviews and slop. There are no guides in construction - many ways to skin a cat as they say. You can build a house in a hundred different ways optimising for time, cost, quality etc as different metrics. Pick up that phone and dial baby 😄 in construction it's all phone. Emails and texts are simply to act to have written evidence. Phonecalls get it done. I listen to that Shia LaBeouf clip to motivate me on hard days NGL 🤣

Just for you guys understand how untrenched Patriarchy is unto every corner of society, take a look in this influencer Toi Marie trying her best to create what would be a container rehab for men to extract out from themselfs this lack of relationship and care. Leo talks about how insiduous decepetion is. So imagine a virus living inside the human psyche for so long that affects everything, so normalized that nobody can even imagine a world that is free from it. https://www.instagram.com/p/DXP0Eb2lIy8/?igsh=eGRobWZwOTdka3E2 -

You're already manifesting exactly what you want in this moment which would be posting about how you cant create your desired reality. Of course the joke is you are already doing that. -
I sometimes see little kids in their phase of asking questions all the time, I don't wanna have children but I have to say I'd love to contemplate with my child in that phase and inquiry in the nature of reality.

Cultivating the mind is a great source of joy. I have to recognise lately I'm achieving levels of intelligence I would have never dreamt of. This morning I was bombarded by insights, everywhere I saw an insight like a thunderbolt resonated in my mind. I'm still so young and look to the future full of joy, can't wait for the amazing live in gonna live. I would love to talk with my 50 year old self, I'm proud of my past-self, my present-self and my future-self. Let love inundate my life; may I be worthy to drown in thy infinite love.

Elliott replied to Monster Energy's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I don't say anything can happen, I say everything already is, because time isn't actually real. Every scenario already is, so from your perspective there is no magical choice ability because every choice is already made, you did win the lottery, you also didn't. The experience of you winning the lottery already is too, so is you winning the lottery upside down and inside out (infinity). You think this doesn't make sense because you think there is time, a timeline. Think of the beginning and end of time, think of before time and after the end of time - eternity. Time isn't actually real, think of the implications of eternity, whats the end of time? Time isnt real, this is what the 'timeline' would look like Infinity, all at once(which is what infinity is/ would mean) Infinity is obviously true, look at you existing, look at outer space, what limit could there ever possibly be, if you exist, how do you exist and why then would there be ANY limit to anything if you can exist out of NOTHING, outer space, galaxies, earth, nations, bacteria, out of NOTHING, how insane to believe there's limits(finitude). Think of eternity and infinity, you think you won't win the lottery? Think of eternity and infinity. E----->ternit------>y-----‐----------------------> You think you go sit in heaven for E----->ternit------>y-----‐---------------------->, really think of what eternity means, and how you, all this, is out of nothing, and then list me the limits.
