@pluto No. If you don't bother to study, you will not understand the difference. Awakening isn't Turquoise, and Turquoise isn't awakening.

I accused the HR lady of tricking me into a position with no benefits.

@Stretch It's like you're the fox guarding the hen house musing about why it would be a bad idea if you stopped guarding the hens. Lol You are an illegitimate tyrant who is completely full of shit. Nothing your mind says can be trusted.

Don't get ahead of your skis.

@brugluiz Nothing in reality is useless. If it exists, it serves some part in the whole. Just don't get carried away with your activism.

@kieranperez Well, someone like Sam Harris demonstrates how one can pursue spirituality, have some minor awakenings, but still be lost in materialism, rationalism, and moralism. The question is: how deep was your awakening really? The early awakenings tend to not be deep. At the deepest levels, not only the self, but reality itself will collapse.

@George Fil He talks about how busy he was running various businesses before enlightenment. Yes, he went through Orange.

@Revolutionary Think Keep at it. There are many solutions available. Yes, mastering financial independence is challenging. But it's also highly worthwhile and an exciting opportunity for growth. I was in your shoes 10 years ago. I got fired from my first job in 1 day. Then a month later I found a much better job. And a year later I quit even that job and started my own biz and worked for myself for 10 years. Those first 5 years of doing biz were really exciting and scary times. Without that, Actualized.org would never have been possible. So keep the hope and really work the problem.

Get a job and move out. Until then, you're in a coping holding pattern. It's important to break free of your family and forge your own life. Then you can set all the rules and values. In your early 20's the #1 priority should be to master making a living for yourself so you are not anyone's slave, including not your boss's slave.

Here's a simple thought experiment for you moralists: If we program a robot with a rule which says: "Do not kill robots" does that make this rule have any objective validity? If we program the robot to feel guilty for killing a robot, does that make it any more objective? What if we program another robot with the opposite rule? Which one of them is right? Based on who's criteria?

@Charlotte Turquoise

@Widdle Puppy Good report!
