@Conscious life Look up the concept of Holon by Ken Wilbur.

The Laws Of Human Nature - Robert Greene Braving The Wilderness - Brene Brown

Your feelings are not my responsibility. If you can't take a humorous response that is on you. Right now you are kind of being a mechanical projection machine.

"Daily Guides - Vernon Howard , Esoteric Encyclopedia of Eternal Knowledge Observe the kind of advice you are giving yourself, then decide whether you like the results of that advice Anyone wishing to make it his own must first discover what is really his own and what is not There are great possibilities for anyone who asks after getting his feelings hurt, "Why am I such a slave to others?" Something exciting is happening inwardly when you no long forward to something exciting Fear of ridicule can be overcome by always being who you really are You can use your thoughts correctly or you can let them use you incorrectly Make it your aim to no longer let artificial personality speak and act in your name An inability to understand an esoteric fact contains a favourable element, for it means that at last we are trying to open the right door"

@James123 Can't disrespect nothing. If something hurts your feelings thats ur ego bro.

@Leo Gura That is what I got to thinking about afterwards, I was like "Oh yeah, States vs structure/ insight"

Wise men don't give a shit what others think. They persist towards the truth.

Quickly start... The book list is good but this will launch you forward and even help you tackle it. https://www.thefabulous.co/

@James123 Can you tell that from pixels on a screen? Leo does have a personality...

@Flyboy Not knowing seems to be important. Infinity is tricky, its like... Imagine living 7 lifes... boooooring too long. Total awakening is ungraspable perhaps out of God's self love idk. I don't fully believe anyone has 'fully' awakened or become God. There are many awakenings. I still don't have enough self trust to trust myself or my understanding of others and the nature of reality. I am accepting I don't understand it despite lots of trips. It is the ungraspable.

@Leo Gura Okay, so for example your AL-LAD video. The Awakening to the contextual natures of things, would that be an insight or an awakening? or did the awakening lead to an insight? So the awakening is a change in consciousness as the insight is the gems you get from that, but they aren't clearly distinct either. Insight - My body is out of order Awakening - Becoming infinite/ entering God consciousness

@Leo Gura Leo, there are different veins of awakening right? For example I had awakening on 5meo about how screwed up my body was, and others awakenings about how I and others are afraid of moving their bodies in potentially beneficially ways which lead me to Qigong. Would those be awakenings or just realizations and insights? Some awakenings I have seem practical, secular, psychological etc, while others are of a more cosmic and mystical nature. I will contemplate and make a more robust definition of awakening as I move forward. I still don't have 100% self trust, as you and I know from my insights and awakenings. I have also had awakenings of being a strange-loop, and bits of infinity, and unconditional love. Being others.. etc...

Deep Work - Cal Newport You can schedule times of the day when you check those things but then keep it off unless it's that time. A good app is called tally where you can count each time. Also, try journaling and contemplating about it.

Honestly, that is a pretty sick gig for getting over the fear of rejection. Read some books on assertiveness, and install some relaxation techniques.. Ultimately follow your intuition.

https://www.holdenqigong.com/ Qigong. Its a complete deal, you meditate, exercise, work your energy, connect to source, stretch etc And you can develop healing hands which is very sage Keep following your intuition. Expand your possibilities. I understand what some of the others are saying but, it is paradoxical. You won't become a sage by not doing sage like things. You will not become wise without setting a clear intention to be wise, to awaken etc.

Here is a video I made talking about note taking, the system is pretty good for remembering notes because you spend time making deeper connection in your own words while reading etc I talk a bit about the reMarkable for a distraction free studying experience as well. Any distraction free method works though. I just like the common place book meets distraction free meets ultra portable function of the device.

Yeah, I am not gonna bet on 'getting rich quick' on crypto. But I suspect it is worth studying, and partaking. I think Crypto is gonna be a big part of the future. I respect Leo's opinion, I have to really look at it though. There is a some cool stuff surrounding it.

@lukej You got this! Embraced the confusion and keep going. You are loved remember that! Clarity will come.

@Leo Gura Paradoxical

The present is in the future and the future is in the present jk ahah but you get what I mean

@UDT With that attitude. 99.9% of people have never been on the forum.

@Leo Gura Thank you for the clarification. I am still naive.
