  1. Actually grass fed is more damagable for the environment. Not talking about health here. It demands more land, and more ressources overall. Given the number of people on earth today it's a sure way to increase global warming.
  2. Thank you! @Sahil Pandit To be honest I was at a point where I feel it was just necessary. I was conscious of how it robbed me of my potential for many months but I was unable to let that go until it clicked. I clearly saw that to go where I want to go in life I cannot indulge in those activities anymore. So really that's the vision for my life purpose and the desire to grow myself and become more conscious that did it for me. I did not tell myself to stop because I should or because I believed it was bad for me there was just something in me that was ready to grow past that. I said to myself fuck it i'm doing it no matter what. I remembered the 100% commitment concept from the life purpose course.
  3. I quite my weed and youtube addiction 21 days ago. The first few days were hard but it feels amazing by now!(I have so much time ahah)
  4. @Aeris The grind and pain are part of it and not to be denied nor be feared. I don't know about producing but I have been dedicated full time to mastering my craft and writing and I have come to enjoy the times of struggle.
  5. Sometimes when I get into a trip I have this urge to shout/sing and express the energy in quite disturbing ways(for an external witness that is). So a motel room wouldn't be ideal for me. I think you need to check with yourself if it is the right place to be. I wouldn't want someone worry and come knocking at the door while I am tripping ahah.
  6. Maybe try keeping a journal and write every morning what's on your mind, what you want to accomplish that day and the reason why you want to do it. I find that journaling is amazing keep some sort of clarity of though and get things out into your consciousness.
  7. The seductive trickster?
  8. I have been addicted to it for a long time and managed to quite 10 days ago. I feel 10x better, more productive /creative then when I was using it. So yeah it's relative. I am sure that one time a week is fine depending on the person but make sure not to delude yourself.
  9. Totally agree with that. The process of mastering an instrument will put your ego on his knees and confront you with the resistance issue. To master something like that you need to transcend the instant gratification that most people fall prey to and surrender to the process. Plus you get to experience what it's like to do something for it's own sake, without any expectation or achievement in mind but rather because you love it.(If you love it that is. If not than I don't think you will stay with it very long). It could be true for many other things but if you feel drawn to an instrument go for it I think. At a certain point it can be reality meditative also. You don't think about anything you just let your inspiration and innate creativity guide you and you watch that happening.
  10. I have been working on original music for months now and I have managed to record some demos 2 weeks ago. I sent those to a festival that takes place in small region where I live. Nothing fancy not even paid. I didn't get selected for the festival. I genuinely thought that those compositions were pretty good(Given the low quality recording) and now I feel like... well kinda worthless. I am doubting myself and also doubting if I have what it takes to make it as a musician/artist. If I recall the life purpose course and the hero's journey I would see that as a threshold guardian. Right know I don't know how to proceed though. P.S I don't expect anybody to tell me what to do as I believe it is for me to find the next move. I am just sharing my thoughts at the moment.
  11. The suffering of others is hitting me lately. I can see the dogma I understand quite clearly that it's what causes suffering. It's clinging to what one thinks that makes one suffer and I want to help them, I really do. But obviously if I tell them that it's not helping them they are just going to back off in their beliefs(I tried ahah). I came to the conclusion that I cannot help them by trying to help them but rather by being present, loving and by not letting their egoic games trap my own ego. For the common masses I think ideas and theory are quite useless(In the context of a casual interaction or even an arguing of some sort - there is no point in arguing with their drama). And the reason for that I think is that most people can't see other perspectives beside their own. So automatically if it doesn't fit the preconceived modal it will be rejected and demonized. Obviously there is cases where one is ready to ear some pointers or wisdom but in my experience it's not the case most of the time.
  12. @Salvijus I will contemplate on that thank you
  13. I say that because I argued with parent last night. Well they got mad at me and I was watching this happen to me the most mindfully that I could. I just realized that there was no point in telling them that they created there own problems. I could see it and I wanted to help them so I remained mindfull.
  14. Yes you are right. I didn't mean to judge anyone. I also have a lot of growth ahead.
  15. You can also put the link of the video in one note and there's a player that will pop up.
  16. I am currently doing 20mins every morning. I was wondering if I should do it multiple times a day. What are your routines?
  17. He says that when entering the nondual state of consciousness with psychedelics its always with a bilateral symmetry in the body. Is that accurate?
