I stumbled back on this episode after not seeing it for a couple years and wow this technique is starting to show its results. Although I'm more introverted in general as I continue to pull out of these relationships and pursue enlightenment I come across the realization that I really don't have much in common with those whom I thought were my friends. Its not just friends its with with everyone. Yes, I have started to pull out of family obligations more and more to pursue being. The point is that this technique of "lifestyle minimalism" really does work, but you have to get the ball rolling and yes it is scary at first, but you have to trust in the principles of building your intuition and have foresight into the future. One more point that's crucial to lifestyle minimalism is that you need to have an initial glimpse of an enlightenment experience and use that as your foresight into this process. I feel that most people will not follow through unless they have a sufficient enlightenment experience before hand. Let me know what you think and please share your ideas.
