If you're pushing yourself to get results but getting resistance then, just for a few days, try the counter intuitive move and surrender your need to get results. Surrender your desires and wants from spirituality totally, just for a few days. Also surrender your egoic desires like having sex and watching TV, etc. Just literally go with the flow of consciousness. See where that leads you. EDIT: you think you've got big spiritual balls by meditating 2 hours in a row? Nope. You've only got the big balls when you can let that need go and the faith to KNOW the meditation process will happen without you needing it to happen. Who knows, maybe this will free you up to do what will actually get results, rather than what you think will get results.

@VeganAwake Maybe that anger IS the thing, is the source, of seeing NOW as being different to how Nahm described. Without that anger, the source of that anger, what will happen? Could you try? I'm curious to know.

Yeah if you inquire 'whose feeling the pain?' and this sit is what You (not you) want to do, the suffering from the pain tends to dissolve, and the pain is what remains, along with bliss because you are doing what You want to do. In my experience, inquire why you want to sit for this long, and that will likely give you a good answer as to how to move forward. If sitting is really worth it for You, You Will get through the 2 hours. Otherwise, walking or taking breaks or even meditating while doing the dishes might be just as effective, and your idea that you must sit for 2 hours to get results is spiritual/new age social conditioning.

There's multiple depths to enlightement, and the depths are multi dimensional. VeganAwake might be going ridiculously deep into Mu or nothingness, but has no clue on the everythingness. Its all about your perspective of the mystical insight. If you see the cup half empty, its Mu. If you see the cup half full its god realization. @VeganAwake you're a nano metre away from seeing the vortex as You.

Universities have to go beyond just the type of content they teach to truly support turquoise type students. They also need to personalise the curriculum for each individual as each person learn very differently and has a different ego to the rest. They also need to invent a new way of testing. Standardised tests are great for seeing how well you have learnt stage blue stuff... sort of just makes the finish line for the physical sciences... forget it for stage green stuff like liberal arts and even orange stuff like business. Something more along the lines of apprentiships might be better. A way of measuring how well a student helps and resonates with others in the year below them might make sense. Standardised tests are too rigid and therefore do not reflect true understanding. They can always be bypassed through logical loopholes, and they barely describe whats actually happening in the students mind and body. And im not even sure if accreditation makes sense in turquoise or even green. Again accreditation is too rigid. Accreditation is a bunch of logical laws about what the person can do, but that cant really explain how qualified someone is at post rational skills and knowledge. You can easily bypass the laws through logical loopholes, and the laws themselves poorly reflect and point to post rational truths, because the laws themselves are too rigid. Lots of stuff has to be modernised to support a post rational university. And its deeply intertwined with how society evolves; as university is a function of society. Its an organ or component of society, its not isolated from it. At the moment, people like Leo ans Adyshanti and Bashar and Sadhguru are actually our best bet for turquoise universities, because they dont impose standardised tests, or accreditations to use them(apart from Sadhguru). But thats really because its operating outside of the core function of society. Its a free market phenomena. When society starts looking at content like this for universities... things will need to change drastically. In fact I think university is already hopeless. Its terrible for liberal arts and business and social science. Its only really good for physical sciences like mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry and biology. Its not even that great for engineering haha. Employers always complain about the lack of skills grads have for engineering jobs.

exactly

@AlphaAbundance maybe they are the same thing

well that's a good start to look isn't it. Even if you're a woman, in this day and age its important.

You don't have a job? You unemployed?

Through dream board work and Leo's life purpose course, I feel really good about the prospects of being a leader. In a startup I've cofounded, the parts I enjoy the most is the leadership parts, rather than the computer programming parts. I love setting up policies, optimising internal processes and workflows of the business, and upholding values and principles with the employees within the business. I love thinking holistically and solving problems systemically. And I love directly interfacing with the wellbeing of people - that I want to directly change. When I was in high school and college, my favourite subjects were politics, culture and sociology. And it would probably more align with the stuff on the dream board if I eventually got into that. Eventually maybe get into a non for profit around changing public policies or researching new and innovative political systems. Unfortunately the startup is in a poor region in Asia. The business makes enough money to pay 4 employees, but not enough for me (or the other cofounder). This means I need to work at another job bootstrapping it. The other job is another startup, and I am their AI(Artificial Intelligence) programmer. To align with my life purpose, I really want to try and grow their business, so that I can land a management role with them. Its very ambitious, but I'm willing to fail and work hard to get there. Would you have any clarity on how to go about that? My default approach is to see what the boss really wants, beyond the tasks he gives me, and try to inquire on the reasoning and thought processes behind the tasks. What are the tasks going towards? How does that help make the business money? I could then see if there are any immediate resources at the business's disposal, that could improve the efficiency or way the AI work(and software work) gets done at the business. Come up with a vision for an improved internal workflow, that helps the boss get what he wants quicker, and with less work on his side. I assume, the more these internal workflows gives the boss more of what he wants quicker, and with less work needed on his side, he will like it. If I take ownership of this internal process, I could lead it, which would help me align more with what's on my dream board, and be a stepping stone to eventually getting a position that aligns even more (while waiting for the other company to mature). Would you have any clarity around this? I have very little management or leadership experience. Would you suggest I go start learning some courses? Start reading up on a few things? Any books you recommend?

m8 there's a whole science if you really want it forgot about this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasalingam

That's turquoise

Well if you didn't develop past your dad at the age of being indoctrinated with the left views of your primary/elementary school, then you must have had a pretty good dad. Imagine how much he must have gone against his own conditioning to get to the views they spout out at primary schools. Have some compassion for his handicap being born at a less developed time. My dad certainly didn't. All throughout primary school I remember him infuriated at our school for giving us assignments and tasks that were too lefty for him. He's not bad for doing this, he's just a main streamer. These people are the sorts of people you buy your bread and vegetables from. The sorts of people who fix your house when it breaks.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? @Leo Gura Better than knocking balls into holes. EDIT: this is an amazing comment, still can't get over it.

@Guru Fat Bastard you mean the dust particles?

There's a whole science to this. It was applied in ancient temple and church architecture and design. A mixture of the socio-cultural context and subjective effects of certain geometries and materials were used to enhance or propel the people within the church/temple to meditative states of consciousness. Maybe this is your life purpose?

@VeganAwake Don't get to rattled up with Inliytened1. Have you ever wondered how Inliytened1's comment is currently persisting in reality right now? Whose responsible for that comment? Who is currently creating that comment, allowing it to be here right now? Inliytened1 is not a person, but a comment for you right now, and its created by you, the real you, try and help you suffer less and be happy. Don't take it too much the wrong way. You're not arguing with who you think you are.

that's actually something that can be empirically observed/experienced

if you think this is bad, try becoming enlightened.

fighter pilots and secret service agents are highly intelligent yet are stage blue

This is out of pure curiosity. My spiritual journey and personal and professional development is massively intertwined. I oscillate between focusing heavily on career/personal development vs focusing on lots of meditation and inquiry almost on a fortnightly or monthly basis. And in reality, I don't even see them as separate. Personal development is as spiritual as spirituality itself. As spirituality is as concept driven and idealistic as your career or 'survival is'. I see that the majority of people on this forum tend to separate them: for first 5 years, spend time on PD, then get into spirituality. Why so? That's very different to my experience. In fact the 2 compliment each other in an arms race fashion. You focus heavily on personal development and healing, to the point that you literally see personal development and healing as a form of expression your love and longing for God. And when practising spirituality, its a recognition that what your career was, was actually God in the first place, you just had to see it. One affects the other, personal development hypes up your involvement and playfulness with God, while spirituality keeps that playfulness from becoming seriousness and separation, and remembering of what you're actually playing with. And the remembering of what your playing with is what lets your career or personal development flourish, because you see what you actually want and what you're actually doing. And you see what personal development really is.

What are the technical skills of leaders? I always here you must hone in on a technical skill and get really good at it. What is that for leadership?
