  1. I wish I could be permanently enlightened. Maybe it'll happen if I persist. Not gonna lie, nothing wrong with wanting something you have to work for it. Nothing will make you happy in life but your own nature...
  2. This aspect of reality I do not care for. I wish it was different. All I can do is work on myself. Do or die, or just live some shit life..
  3. Needing tonnes of protein is a myth I think going to much fruit might be over doing it. Personally think it needs balance! Looking good
  4. The difference between the skull and a preference is imaginary? This statement for me needs greater clarity and reconciliation.
  5. I am learning the more I learn just how wrong I am most of the time, or when I am right it is only in a matter of degree or triviality. For example, recently I thought esoteric referred to inner knowledge, as apposed to teaching taught to the masses. But, upon looking closer at definitions I realized the esoteric is simply knowledge or information only share to a small group. It says nothing about it being inner work. The word esoteric can even be used in non-religion or spiritual ways as well. Some of the uses of esoteric seem to be used even more loosely seeming to point to something unknown to a person. So a subject could be esoteric to me as a laymen. Why did I think Esoteric meant inner spiritual work? See, I realize how much stuff I make up in my own mind and it gets me into trouble. I sense I have many years ahead of me and lots of work to do to get more grounded in truth. However, I found on wikipedia referring to western esoteriscim as a 'hidden inner tradition".... So I am not completely wrong about Esoteric meaning inner work. Also came across this definition: "Esotericism refers to a number of traditions, philosophies and practices, that focus inwards on the human beliefs, spirituality and wellbeing. It’s a very philosophical idea that gets us to ask the bigger questions around our own purpose and effect on this planet, from a spiritual perspective." https://theselfcareemporium.com/blog/what-are-esoteric-practices This is what i meant to me as well. So, there doesn't seem to be one definition. Not sure why this god me so rattled. Needa check myself! So, I am thinking the best way to approach my ignorance, proneness to error and mistakes with a loving open heart, and laugh at my ignorance and be grateful for whatever insights lead be closer to truth. I just hate the thought of sharing misinformation in my work. Also relax, there are many interpretations of the same things. I am also learning the applause means nothing with regards to whether I am making the world a better place or not. Because, look how easily fools applaud inaccurate information that serves their ego?
  6. I just bought this Zeolite Clay to try it out. I am curious if anyone has experience with it's usage for removing toxins and heavy metals?
  7. Maybe he is a person who want's privacy. I am sure he will share when or if he is ready.
  8. Don't give up. How are you using your free time? Describe the 3 or 4 hours you have a week? That free time you have everyday outside of work is GOLD, for doing inner work. I've had my ups and downs too. You will make it through this. People are giving you good advice here! There is hope!
  9. Being infinite is pretty great tbh. Everything in the universe, is exactly where it should be.
  10. Maybe, your lungs are important for your overall baseline consciousness. In Qigong we say they are the commanders in Qi, so keep them healthy! Personally think smoking or vaping is not healthy, and if to be done should be done sparingly.
  11. Personal Finance, Basic math, ability to plan and keep calendar and basic financial hygiene routines
  12. hmm, best to trip at home or in a safe place
  13. Well, yeah.. We are our environments to a large extent
  14. I think the point was, that when I want someone to buy my product, or service I am falling into a neediness because I want something from them. I will journal and unpack this deeper. As I go about developing this new phase of my life I will come uncover these behaviours through direct experience and transcend and integrate new behaviours consciously. I notice old patterns, the same patterns that held me back in the past in the last chapter. But, I have a new toolbox now.
  15. Thanks. But, my stress isn't the point ahah the world is just so complex. I had someone react negatively toward my use of the word today, someone I wanted to come to my classes. I think that is it, it's connected to people pleasing and a fear I have of being wrong, or looking foolish. Will contemplate!
  16. Story based song, but for me this helps me connect so deeply "set my spirit freeeeee"
  17. If it's just consciousness, why survival at all? Why not just infinite Orgy all day er day
  18. I am thinking it's going to take practice and inner unification. My mind always finds something to ruminate on. I am noticing it. Same structure, different content. And different negative results. I have practices, resources and am improving everyday.
  19. I think this is a big problem we are facing right now... "I know a time is coming all words will lose their meaning.."
  20. Those are all good tips. I especially know stoners who think they have social anxiety. Which is probably true, but when your stoned you are prone to anxiety and... Learning to develop self esteem through a sound and sober mind is important. Use them maturely and not chronically. It's important to feel into what is there I think. But, important not to be dogmatic to others. I have noticed this neediness since childhood and I don't think it's drug related.
