@IAmReallyImportant I agree. Definitely crucial to be sure you are qualified to teach or do what you do. It's important to take that into consideration especially if you are interested in becoming a healer.

The more I am working on the infrastructure for my life purpose the more I realize how deeply challenging and profound it is to be highly skillful at anything at all. How do I know when I am have developed enough skill to do something? How do I know I am not self deceiving myself? My God, reality is so huge, boring slow and challenging. I know that facing this is important for a good life. It's a little annoying however.

Keep working on it!

I enjoy the mastery process. Okay, we will see.

Maybe Robert Greens 33 Laws of war?

I fell like Win Butler from Arcadefire is based on the lyrics of their first two albums.

@Onecirrus Thats because its you that is weak and sexuality that is powerful. I have elements of similar fears. Looks like a fun project to work on.

@datamonster I don't think I do yet. I know I don't know. I wasn't ready then for everything because my adversity quotient was too low. It's still low. I am working on it. None of these were huge successes. Just, learning experiences and yet, very challenging.

I canada have a UBI bill just entering parliament. The majority of Canada is pro -UBI

@datamonster Ahaha. As far as I am concerned you can only take baby steps in this work. To think you can make leaps and bounds is an illusion. I am also not 'just starting'. When I was heavily into music I wrote hundreds of songs and played a few festivals, made video content for 30+ artists and put on some live shows in my city. Nothing major it ended before we really took off. It was a huge learning experience for me. I had a problem with a girl that I let ruin a lot of my career capital. It hurts a lot. But, she really fucked me up. Don't date your co-founder. I've created things, and learned a lot from this. I am currently in a building phase in life I suppose. The biggest fear I have right now is the losing of my youth.

@datamonster I guess so. However, my interests are deeper than coding or song writing. I will figure it out. I used to feel very inspired by music but, despite that it just isn't lucrative. I am however falling in love with contemplation and Qigong and would like to combine them for a powerful self discovery teaching. However it might take a few years. I can start teaching Qigong within the year, but I feel for the whole project to come together its gonna take more than I think it will. I feel a bit overwhelmed by the endeavour. It's a very holistic project.

@datamonster I guess so. Except if you are giving people bad advice, or creating bad projects. I think that could be dangerous. To really master and learn someting takes years and years of deliberate practice and learning from experts.

personally love nuts. Keto seems really dangerous to me. Not sure why anyone would think its a good idea.

Looks interesting. My ex was into that type of teacher/ kundalini thing.

UBI works.

@Dunnel Reason to live? This moment right now. God gives you lows as part of the path. It's a gift in the long term. Everyday is a chance for self discovery Only those caught in a self hypnosis would feel suicidal Like someone trying to remember a song that we love Each day we remember more of the melody and tune Now is the time to learn new things with an open mind. The adventure you are about to embark on by going out and talking to people is your reason to live. Discovering new things about ourself and our minds is incredibly rewarding. Each discovery leads to to paths. Reach out to people. We got you!

https://www.amazon.ca/Infinite-Potential-Quantum-Physics-Reveals/dp/0307985954 While listening to Duality part 3, I reminded myself of this book. Interesting book combining metaphysics, non-duality, quantum mechanics and how to live the good life.

Pretty into the idea of open poly relationships

@Rilles Use one note in combination with apps like fabulous the do this. I found that by installing small habits that I do do everyday, could be drinking a glass of water or a 3 minutes exercises that I can root those small habits in daily and from that build more habits. I can say proudly that I now journal, meditate, exercise, plan, and do my school work everyday and it feels smooth, enjoyable and fun. Start small. Fabulous is a great app!

You can try Holden Qigong for 2 weeks without even giving them your card. He is great, trained by Mantak Chia and has taught for 30 years

It is real. You wont have 'eternal youth' but you can make use of its anti-aging benefits. New agers are probably exploring it for sure, and you definitely want to be mindful. I see becoming a certified teacher at age 25 as a major investment in my long term future health wise. The more I understand my body holistically the happier and healthier I will be in the long term.

Social disaproval that takes away my ability to live my life purpose and escape wage slavery.

@tatsumaru Just do the practice, asking us isn't going to answer those questions for you. If your going to be skeptical actually be skeptical and gain direct experience. Did I say one thing about nature? no...? A lot of stress is held in the body. Even if I was doing stretching it would help those areas in a minor way. Qigong is real. Gain the direct experience and don't worry about being fooled.
