Why does a person still have the fear of being told to be ugly even if he/she is convinced to be ugly?

lovely does it move you?

Hello! I am not sure what my life purpose is. I highly enjoy painting miniatures. But the thought about painting figures for my lifetime is not very satisfying. So that is what I do enjoy to do. But when it comes down to my strenghts, it is writing (in my mother tongue). The problem is, that I don't like it. On the other hand: the thought to do this my entire life and become very good at it is somehow exciting. Both would serve my craving to create something beautiful. So ... which activity should I choose? Took the life purpose course, but I am still struggeling. Hope you guys can help, thanks!

@Jkris yup. Stop asking questions, people. It is useless anyway.

There is no freedom in willing. Even if you are essentially God. A will is based on preferences. No one can't decide his/her preferences. It makes no logical sense at all. And if god hasn't any preferences for his will - because he is god right - then it is determined by nothing and therefore random. And where is the freedom in that? Why you guys don't argue in a logical way. No one, not a single one of you, could answer his questions clearly. "Well, who are YOU?", you repeatedly ask. It is crystal clear that by a little bit serious self inquiry one will discover that he/she/it is awarness. And even once you discovered this and you make decisions from a higher level of conciousness your will isn't free either - because remember: a will needs preferences, a foundation on which it is build upon, you as awareness/god can't decide this. In one video Leo mentioned, that at the beginning of everything, conciousness was bored and decided it wants to play a game, in which it will discover itself through various perspectives. Well, where did the "boredom" come from? Everything is so far fetched and covered with mysterious phrases and assumptions, idk man. Spirituality seems to insist that there is something beyond the realm of logic. Tired of all this contradictions. No answers to be found anywhere.

Whoa! You are right! This goes to infinity! Never thought of that ... my mind is blown. Thanks!!!

To this point it was all logical that I can't be my body, my thoughts or feelings: the observer can't be the observed. Now this logic crumbles. Or not? I am still a noob in spirituality. Why you guys answering in this way? Cuz there is no way to explain it logically?

If I can not be the perceived, then neither I can be conciousness, because I can be aware of being aware. I am rly confused. What are your thoughts on that?

Hello guys, I am from Germany and new here. I have the problem, that I missing direction in my life. I have the deep desire to master some skill, cuz the most pleasurable feeling i got so far is the feeling of flow, to do something just for it's own sake (ofc the intention is "to get better" or striving for the good feeling of effortlessnes so to speak.) But I don't know what to master... I always think of writing, but I am not sure whether it is my passion. Everytime I think of it I get this feeling of huge resistance. As I write, I often got hung up on something and it feels like work. No pleasure at all. But sometimes, sometimes there it is: the flow -- I got soaked up and write and write and write, without thinking, just doing, I am not aware of myself and after I read the written, it is not that bad. But then again, the next sentence feels like work again and after a whole session the thought of doing it again wants to make me vomit all over the place. It seems like a lack of joy for me, still it is the only thing that is constantly coming up in my mind. So should one look out for the thing that he or she is interested in rather whether he or she has fun doing it? Interest > fun? I just don't get, whether this is my purpose calling or not. When it is, why so much resistance? Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance guys!
