@Husseinisdoingfine I highly recommend reading Austrian economists to you, they have given Marxism the best critique I have seen on why pure socialism / communism not only has never worked, but will never work. The Labour theory of value is inherently flawed & wrong, therefore, capitalism isn’t simply “Exploitation.” This is not true, Crony capitalism has led us to believe this. For example, most leftists were very happy how amazon agreed to pay their staff $15 minimum wage & higher taxes, but all this does is further benefit them, by allowing them to monopolise the market further and ostracise competition even more. regarding taxes, to Amazon it’s nothing, to a smaller firm, it means less retained profits & less ability to grow, hence amazon lose less of their market share. A lot of leftist / liberal economic policies do just this, and it is exactly why huge corporations support them. And, this is why corporations love working so closely with Gov

@Consept Nah you're 100% right regarding Cryptos, there's soooooooooo many shitty projects you need to be careful of, hence why you should only ever invest in coins / blockchains with an actual real world solve- e.g. Theta fixing video stream issues & VRA fixing the issue of Fake views etc etc. But, there's literally a shitcoin called $Ass being shilled atm just because the creator said they'll do an ass reveal at $69M market cap lmao In terms of Cryptos that will become actual Mediums of Exchange, unless BTC sort out their Fees & issues, it definitely won't be Bitcoin, there's SO many better mediums of exchange. Agree regarding everything else, especially the Poverty mindset, then when you're stuck there you will fall prey to Ideologies that don't call you out on your shit basically. Its a really interesting Economic School that is very different to mainstream Keynesian economics with heavy Gov intervention, it won't be very popular on here as its very much not left leaning lmao, if you want the basics just buy the book 'Economics In One Lesson' by Henry Hazlitt, its kinda mad how we aren't taught this stuff in school (both sides I mean), well at least in the UK. @Wilhelm44 Exactly, that's 'True' conscious business, and thankfully, we are seeing more & more of this, albeit it'll take a while to reach the 'top tiers' of society, but eventually as more people demand it, it'll naturally happen

Lol, sorry but this is the perfect response ? No magic bullet, if you eat poison you will feel like shit. Replace said poison with foods your body actually needs & wants, as well as adding in exercise, purified water & correct supplements etc, and you will feel better. If you’re addicted to that shit like most people are (honestly for some people it’s no different than any serious addiction, it’s just become socially accepted) then look up ways to overcome it, whether it’s simply cold turkey, hypnosis, a gym routine, idk many ways, just find whatever resonates One of the big ones is education though, just learn how to cook good food and always have healthy meals at hand and don’t buy junk. And if you can’t resist make an order online instead and don’t visit the store until you can resist

I’m biased but anything less than $100k and you may as well go heavy in Crypto, especially if you’re young. (Index fund example- 10% of 10k is $1k, whereas if you know what you’re doing you can easily 5-10x your money in Crypto, of course no guarantees, this isn’t financial advice and always do your own research and know the risks of any investment you make!) 2 of my fave resources on this are Crazy 4 Cryptos (YT channel) and then 360 Trader (Twitter and YouTube) In terms of resources on Crypto probs best to start with Satoshi Nakomotos white paper, and then maybe a couple of books from amazon / audible if you prefer audio books covering the basics of what Crypto, Bitcoin & Blockchain actually is and why it’s taking the world by storm. have a good day

Id say truly “spiritual” people know money is simply a tool & a medium of exchange, and as others said it can be earned & spent in both conscious & unconscious ways, and as you’ve already said this can be said for a lot of things in life. You can have sex with your partner to express the love & connection between you two or you can manipulate girls into sleeping with you by lying to them, see how different each situation is? Also, I’d add, living in our current society doesn’t help. For example things like the 08 crash where corrupt banks & bankers were bailed out as the average person suffered doesn’t help people’s beliefs on the matter. However, a lot of it comes down to just digging deeper than surface level, actually learning about money, abundance & conscious wealth creation and then reprogramming Those negative beliefs, Leo already has an episode on conscious marketing but maybe @Nahm or Leo could create a YouTube video on this topic to help clear it up for members on the forum who are struggling with it? Tbh, it was one of my main dilemmas a few years ago when I first started “seeking”, it’s easy to fall into toxic beliefs around money & spirituality, so I completely understand how it happens. But, with the right teachings (conscious creation, LoA & Austrian economics are good places to start) the mindset is easily adapted to start feeling good about money, all the good it can do for yourself & those around you & actually start creating wealth consciously, and then Money can be realised for what it is & you then have a much healthier relationship to it than the average person.

Just wanted to share this YouTube channel / practice built upon Tantric / Taoist sexuality. For me, 'NoFap' never truly resonated as it feels like supression and imo anything with 'No' (No-Self etc) is never the final answer as is based in negation & not expansion. Same for some forms of 'Semen retention / cellibacy' which works amazingly for some people, but I kinda wanted a middle ground of quitting porn, and I guess 'upgrading' sexuality. Luckily I found this channel, and recently bought his course: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1VcMOExq4okNAco-yiCBiw And, its been amazing, and naturally I have stopped watching Porn which I struggled with for ages, as quite simply instead of focusing on what I didn't want to do (watch Porn) I focused on what I did want to do- have amazing Sex and deepen intimacy, connection etc His channel goes into Semen Retention & finding your own 'ideal ejaculation frequency', overcoming ED & Premature Ejaculation, multiple orasms, tantric sexuality, reprogramming your brain to focus on pleasure not the end goal, improving your Sex life & becoming a better lover etc etc I'm still in the early days of this & by no means an expert, but after just a month or so, the results have been insane, especially from quitting porn and just shifting my mindset to a more 'Tantric' one. I know the views on Porn on this forum are mixed, so I am not saying it's right / wrong, just sharing my own experience, and I can say I will never go back to regularly viewing Porn like I used to, it really affected my previous relationship & in my opinion (key word: Opinion) is the junk food of Sexuality. But, its all about finding what works best for you & gives you the Sex life you're after, and for me this has really helped, and I'm really enjoying the journey so far. Also, if you are in a relationship, I'm sure your partner will also appreciate the extended sessions lmao, more so than the kind of Sex they may be used to. Also, not 'wasting' your energy every day, leads to WAY more energy& focus which is a double edged sword, you need to have things to pour that energy into- Work, business, exercise, relationships, sport, activities etc etc so be careful & make sure to learn how to integrate the exercise. Also, it isn't easy and there isn't any quick fixes, the older you are, the more programming you have to unwind & refine, but its a really fun process & very rewarding, I now understand why a lot of Spiritual Traditions promote harnessing this energy in one way or another, while I defo don't believe its essential to the awakening process, I can defo see how it helps in a number of ways, just like eating healthy helps!

Personally, I don’t think meditation should be some hard arsed pursuit that you don’t enjoy, considering it’s “purpose” is to help you realise the joyous, natural state that you are. I would recommend watching Rupert Spira / Francis Lucilles videos on meditation, they explain this far better than I can in words!

Watched this Doc on Sunday with my GF, I've been vegan for close to 6 years and felt Re-Radicalized haha, the funniest part for me was the charities supposedly part of the solution were literally funded by the main problem creators, I honestly feel a lot of charities are a lot more corrupt than we are led to believe. I also liked how the Creator changed his actions based on what he found out. I do agree that Veganism becomes a huge ideology and almost cult like at times though, its why I unfollowed most 'Vegan Influencers' on YT, Insta, Twitter etc, the ethics of Veganism says about being moral to all living beings, but I feel vegans forget Humans are also living beings as well lmao, and screaming at them is just going to push them further away.

A world full of beings simply expressing happiness & joy, and living from love. In a nutshell, a beautiful place.

@Carl-Richard this is awesome This decade we will constantly see “more” awakened Actors, athletes, celebrities etc etc Of course we can’t have more as we are all that! ? But, more will become conscious of their own being, and I can’t wait for it!

@7thLetter Yes! the use case is so needed- fixing all the fake views, fake followers etc and being used in E sports tournaments and for better or worse video games are the biggest “sport” in the world these days!

@Zeitgeist Oh 100%, follow 360Trader on Twitter to learn how the cycles work & when to sell into the parabolic move. (Alts go 1-2 months after BTC usually)

Invest in Ziliqa, Theta, TFuel, Veracity & Cardano if you wanna turn that 100k into financial freedom lmao (this is a joke not financial advice before anyone kicks off, always do your own research and never listen to random blokes on the internet on how to spend your own money) But seriously, Sure you could do the whole 'balanced portfolio' route, but I'm guessing your pretty young? Benefit of being in your 20s is you can take risks & the downsides are nothing compared to when you have dependents and a mortgage etc I'm just saying since the start of this year some of my investments have more than tripled, I find that much more fun than getting 5-10% returns on an index fund, sure as you get older and wealthier (I mean 7-8, even 9 figures here) diversity becomes more important. But, if you learn the markets properly & take the time to study you can turn 100k into 500k- million in Crypto Bull Run pretty easily, then your essentially set for life. DON'T go in blind though, properly research and understand Crypto cycles, Bitcoin halving, bull / bear markets, exit strategies etc But I have a high tolerance for Risk, I'm only 21 and after this bull run I'll then diversify, it just makes zero sense to me right now to invest in something like Index funds during a Crypto bull run when you could literally shut your eyes pick any crypto in the top 100 and probably double your money, its a once in a generation opportunity Meh, maybe do this long term, but even 10% on 100k is literally 10k which is hardly anything, once you're playing with Millions then 10% becomes significant, but I'm so biased towards crypto lol Diversity long term, yes, but why would you put ANY money even intio BTC & Ethereum right now when you literally just need to do some more research and find up and coming Small Caps where the real profits are, the 'risk' argument doesn't make sense either right now imo

Lol the funniest thing I saw was a morbidly obese person showing off about their Vaccine while scoffing down a Donut. Every day that goes by, the less this world makes sense to me lol, I'll never understand why we seem to encourage Obesity & Poisonous Junk food, like you are free to do what the fuck you want, but we shouldn't be encouraging these habits just like we don't encourage Alcoholism, or Drug addiction. It seems 'Empowering' yet the only real winners of the Obesity epidemic are the Huge toxic corporations like McDonalds, Krispy Kreme etc & then Big Pharma when they get to sell more drugs than ever before, and so the cycle continues. Btw, this isn't a post regarding the Vaccine, just the stupidity of most people that they will scream about Masks, Distancing & Vaccines etc, yet won't even mention healthy habits, exercise & natural preventative cures. I saw a study that said Covid was also more prevalent in more obese countries, probably why over here in the UK we've struggled so much. The average person here is overweight, lazy & has a terrible diet...

@Roy haha all good, but I’m very much used to people online instantly calling any rich person a scammer / fraud / liar etc ? I agree very much, focusing on what you want & what you value in life is valuable introspection we should all do, like you said when I hear minimalism it feels Like (to me at least) I have to give up things I don’t want to, e.g. you couldn’t have a spacious house, or fashion you like as it’s not “needed” which is a little bit silly to me

I love Becker, he gives awesome business & investing advice, and his advice is great for cycling into phases of life where you just need to get shit done- business, exam season, whatever it is etc However, this video to me shows the clear SD Stage Orange mindset he has, of only spending money on things that grow his net worth, as that’s what he sees as most important, which is fair enough, whatever makes you happy right. he also seems like an Enneagram type 5 which are natural minimalists, they thrive alone & with little to concentrate on their pursuits. My question, is how do we find our own form of minimalism (what is meaningful to us) and find that balance between enjoying “things & life” and your LP, business & career. This form of minimalism has never appealed to me at all (Enneagram type 7, Scorpio) and if anything I want to use money to experience more of life as well as grow it, so should we all just follow our good feeling? Ive never really found their to be any form of blanket life philosophy (minalmism, Veganism etc) that works universally. Also, I feel this minimalism is quite a masculine thing to do, and can lead one dow a kind of toxic path of less at all costs & into some sort of Compeition, like the complete opposite of mindless consumerism. what’s everyone’s thoughts?

@Hansu I agree with you, we should be focusing on increasing everyone's wealth, prosperity and chances in life, to the benefit of the whole. There is clear systemic & corruption issues in society, but I think the rhetoric of 'Eat the Rich', 'Kill the rich' just creates further division, along with a victim mentality, for example I saw on Twitter recently something like 'If you vote Tory (Conservative) you're a cu** and deserve to die.' Like what 'Tory' is going to read that and go, you know what I've suddenly changed all of my beliefs, none. Just creates more division instead of Unity. Also, let's not forget you have the BEST chance across all of history to make yourself wealthy, I would rather live now being born as 'Working Class' then literally any other time in history. You can start making money on the internet with $0, literally. You can also build a 6 figure business within a year of so if you do it right, with the right strategy. Then comes in the mindset & knowledge of Economics & the monetary system. In the UK a lottery winner of £10's Millions went broke, so would a lot of 'Working Class / Middle Class' people simply because they aren't taught about how Money works, how to preserve it, how to grow it etc. Financial Education is the place to start, as well as strategically starting an Online Business you resonate with to create freedom in your life, then you're free to pursue whatever you want.

No offence, that's such a narrow minded response, he runs Hyros, I have a few friends that use his Ad Tracking and it is really good, then he trades Crypto & NFTs, no doubt he knows what he's doing there as he literally has all his free time to spend on it haha. That's the thing, if he does it as its what makes him the happiest, fair play, and I think the working does, but the stacking money for the sake of it continuously just doesn't make that much sense, especially as he gets into the 10s then 9 figures. He's also said how he's trying to seek fulfilment beforehand, I think he's just gone from the extreme of 'Objects will make me happy, buy them all!!' To now, ' okay Objects didn't work so let's get rid of every last one.' I look forward to the day he reads a Non-Dual book, or has some sort of awakening. At the end of the day, if it works for him that's amazing, I just don't think this way of life is ideal for many people, and that's not to say Lambos & Private Jets are either, I think its all about finding 'Your Way' instead of 'The Way' as there is no 'Way' that is right for everyone.

@fridjonk me too! I can’t ever see myself as being extreme minimalist as Becker, I enjoy way too many things too much! I think it comes down to values. if you’re solely concerned with maximising your net worth & income at all costs, this is by far the best route. But, if you value other things more, that improve your quality of life, even if you like “stuff”, then indulge as you see fit. I do think minimalism is great for realising what’s important instead of mindless consumption though!

Great advice, also supplementing things like Zinc & Macca can help you recover the nutrients you lose. @flowboy Will do, I'm only in week 1 of the course, but already been pretty awesome. @Recress Yeah I kinda used that as an excuse for not diving into this work, but in the long run I think its more harmful

YES! This is what I always thought, Whenever I tried it, I felt as if I was focusing on 'Not watching porn' which just made me think about it more lmao, I think one of the best things when quitting any unhealthy habit, is to focus on the change, e.g. focus on cooking healthy food instead of not eating junk Yes! I'm in his course, and its awesome. But its annoying to have to wait for the second week to unlock lol, but has already created a HUGE shift in my mentality regarding sexuality

Nope, but I've watched her Ted Talk on the same matter, does the book go into greater depth? Have you heard of Taylor Johnson on YouTube, I just joined his course on this topic, its been amazing so far!

@LastThursday I'm no expert, but I would say don't integrate Femininity at the expense of Masculinity, more in addition too it, and then embodying whatever feels best for you, of course Normally (everyone unique ofc) men TEND to be more Masculine overall & Females more Masculine, but its a sliding scale. Like, personally, in a relationship Dynamic I take on the more Masculine energy, whereas my Gf takes on the more feminine. If you haven't, read 'The Way Of The Superior Man' by David Deida, he explains this REALLY well, like life changing well. and, I completely resonate with that, the best advice I could give is learn to completely LOVE yourself and being Happy alone, so then, when someone does enter your life you aren't dependent on them for happiness, but you improve each others lives without quote on quote 'Needing' each other to function. This allows you to be vulnerable, intimate & develop a connection beyond your wildest dreams whilst also knowing one day it will 'end' either through Separation / Death etc, so you just fully enjoy each moment together. This is radically different from 'mainstream societies' notion of needing someone to be happy, Rupert Spira talks of this really well, and it really helped me in entering my new relationship Good luck man!

Also, I'd recommend these books: David Deida- The way of the superior man Mantak Chia- Multi Orgasmic Man Marnia Robinson- Cupid's Posioned Arrow (although I don't practice Karezza religiously like her and her followers prescribe, its still an interesting read, but a little extreme for me atm)

I know you said not about Sexuality etc But, recently I've been investigating Trantric Sexuality, Mantak Chia etc, and its fucking Amazing to put it bluntly. Instead of the typical Masculine (defo has its place) animalistic 'quickie' you focus on Connection, Intimacy & Presence with your partner and truly get in touch with both sides during this process, it can also be done alone, this has helped me more than anything in integrating the feminine. It's kinda like what @aurum said regarding the Bubble Path except on Steroids, all the focus is on the pleasure and feeling good for the joy of it, not for any end goal or practical reason which is what most men tend to chase after during Sex / watching porn. Also, at least Ime, it completely blows Porn / One night stands etc out of the water. Aside from that, things like Essential oils, salt lamps, crystals, aesthetics / looking good etc, anything that embodies feminine traits!
