@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!

The one thing I will say, is look into things that will become valuable due to scarcity- Digital trading cards, unique Video game skins etc etc The world is going digital, and digital assets will become more and more valuable, but do be VERY careful in this space, however. there will only be more & more digital assets in the coming years

As an avid Crypto addict, I would be VERY careful in this space.

I agree with mostly everything you've said, however, be careful using terms like 'Non-Existence' 'as that is the ultimate Oxymoron, I understand you're using it in relation to the separate self, which is of course Absolutely True, however, I think maybe it would be better to phrase it as the Separate Self is Non-Existent and then encourage X person to go ahead and discover True Existence / The Absolute / God etc etc for themselves. Teachings like Impermanence, Non-Attachment etc etc are tools to help the Seeker find what is infinity & that in fact they don't need to 'practice' Non-Attachment as Awareness is pristine & unattached automatically. I hope I don't sound like a dick, but I just don't think Non-Existence is the best term to use, unless it is pointing to the unnamable

@Nahm = The GOAT of this Forum, the amount of help he has given people over the years is unmatched, not to mention his 1-1 sessions are great! And, he combines Living your dream life & creating your own reality with true awakening, a true master.

Awaken, and the question dissolves into itself. Consciousness = Absolute Freedom

Don't force it, although I'll admit its hard post-school to make a group of friends. As well as @Meta-Mans suggestions, have you considered reading some Social Skills books, just basic level stuff and understanding the fundamentals, there's lots of good products out there. I would say don't force friendship though. as I defo don't feel how you said, I'm always buzzing to meet my friends and go out with them, even if they aren't 'spiritual' or whatever, you can have other interests outside of self-improvement & spirituality. Obvs Covid makes it harder, but websites like meetup.com will be your best friend, find things you like to do and meet up with them and try connect (where improving social skills comes in) For example, If I travelled to a new country, one of my biggest interests right now is Crypto, I'd find the local crypto meet ups and then go from there & usually you can find other common ground and get the ball rolling Like anything the more you 'practice' the more natural it becomes for you Also, we all have different desires and needs for our social lives and that's unique to each of us I'm very extroverted and LOVE being around people, seeing my friends, dating, meeting new people, developing relationships etc etc, some people are the complete opposite to that So, first uncover what you want if you could have any social life possible, then work out how to get as close to that as possible

Perfect, I think the idea that Spirituality / Self-Actualization is all about Negating & quitting things we enjoy needs to be dropped. Of course we all need breaks and switch our focus from time to time, but if it's something you love & that brings you joy, I don't understand why their needs to be inner conflict around it

@BlackMaze Theres still projects out there that can make you a lot of money, but you can’t really control those things. Focus on things you can control & then you’ll have more money to play with as well!

@Pateedm Legend, thank you for posting this!

@BlackMaze In the nicest way bro, that really is a small amount of money. Your focus right now should be FULLY on increasing your income & creating a business / career etc Learn Crypto investing on the side sure, but building your income & business will be much more effective It's been one of my own main goals since I left school at 18 and is going pretty awesome so far, I now invest a lot in Crypto but the focus is all on my business primarily as that is my real income generator, then Crypto / Investments further help with wealth creation I would also say learn about the mindset of wealth & money etc to help you keep and preserve wealth long term!

This is one of the BIGGEST dangers of Spiritual work. you don't need to give up what you love to be happy, like wtf. You are clearly passionate about music, why would you give it up?? Like you're lucky you've found something you love at an early age! Don't let Self-Actualization or Spirituality make you give up your passions, let it improve & enhance your experience & expressions of them. doing 'The work' will only enhance your creative potential & music making abilities Remember, LIFE IS ABOUT ENJOYMENT, why would you deprive yourself of things that are clearly meaningful to you, this 'spiritual' mindset never made any sense to me whatsoever

@aurum Perfect response, both sides go too far, sounds like every other debate in Human History lmao. I like this guys videos, he does a good job calling out BS, teaching people the basics of wealth creation etc, but it's very easy to see he's a typical Stage Orange kinda guy, with hints of Green. Basically, if there isn't 10000 peer reviewed scientific papers proving this Metaphyscial & LOA points, then it must all be BS. He does have GREAT points though about the Commodification of LOA, like these clickbait titles 'Do this to manifest your Ex back in 48 hours' is just bullshit. As you said, Awaken first, then 'Manifest' from the Space of Universal Consciousness & Love, and if that means you also want a few cool things like a nice car go for it, but as you said the problem with modern day LOA is its fallen for the 'Material things are all you need in life' Kool aid. In reality, happiness is only truly found in awakening, and then life becomes a celebration and we can create whatever reality we want for the fun, joy and love of it. @Nahm I think its about time you got a YouTube channel to show what true LOA & reality creation techniques look like But, sadly telling the truth wouldn't sell MILLIONS of $ worth of courses, events, books etc As @Leo Gura says in his marketing video, Conscious Marketing is 100x harder, hence why almost nobody does it.

You need money to start investing though. Do both For example, I run an online business & as were in a bull market majority of my investment allocation goes into Crypto, it’s been lucrative so far, but I wouldn’t rely on it solely, unless you want to go full time crypto- youtuber, developer, trader etc I do spend most of my spare time researching and understanding crypto, but it’s defo worth it if you have the money & is paying off for me so far

@Phyllis Wagner Fair enough man For me business is definitely about more than just money, I wake up everyday excited to get to work and build, it’s what I love to do, and now I also get to coach people, it’s awesome man Yeah, that is what they say, personally I’m hoping for a “Yellow Hybrid” where we get the best of both worlds, but I just couldn’t get on board with a lot of Communist Theory But, I also know what you mean about immature capitalism, I see that in the business world a lot Imo, any kind of identification with an ideology ends up closing your mind & creating issues, I found it when I went vegan like 5 years ago, it’s so easy to be trapped by it as well so I try and stay as open minded to all sides as possible in all realms. Anways, have a good day and hope you find some good investments to make some evil, dirty profit on your money ?

@Striving for more Great advice

@Phyllis Wagner Yeah fair enough mate, we all have our biases, including myself haha I just don't relate to a lot of it, as the Marxists I've met in real life, well they aren't as compassionate as you'd expect communists to be lol, especially when you disagree with them All the rhetoric about 'Profit = Evil' and landlords should be abolished to me just comes from people who have never run a business or been a landlord, not always, but a lot of the time Personally, I don't see Marxism as a natural progression, I would recommend watching Leo's recent business video he goes over the dangers of getting too trapped in Socialist rhetoric, Leta lone Communism in terms of Building your own success in life. That said, I defo am not saying Capitalism is perfect in its current form, far from it, we all know that I am just trying to warn against the victim mindset I see a lot with Socialists / Communists that always look for an outside source to blame While true sometimes, I just feel that mindset becomes pretty poisonous real fast and is kind of an easy excuse for not creating the life you desire, building a business etc, you always have the Baddy government or capitalism to blame, never yourself I've also noticed its mainly people around my age (21) in the 16-25 category and usually involved in Academia that become Radically Left leaning, which I also find quite funny But, hey I'm just some random guy on the internet, just some observations I've made over the years as I went to a 'state school' in England and had a working class background which is VERY left leaning (basically ridiculed for not being, even when you're like 15/16), and while great in theory, I'd like to see the more radical policies played out in real life first as Leo says in his Conscious Politics videos- test, test, test Also, let's be real Communism probs won't happen in our lifetime, I mean majority HATE it and are completely against it, so sure support whatever form of politics you like, but I would also say don't use it as an excuse to not to Financially blossom Sorry for the rant, but I fell into the trap a couple years ago, and since disassociating from that 'victim mentality' I've blossomed much more in all areas, including financially! Have a good day mate

@kray For part of portfolio, if your young (below 50) I see no reason to be so conservative and just shoot for 7-10% annual returns, the advantage of being young if you can take risks as you won't necessarily need the capital ASAP compared to those close to retirement Not to mention Ethics, most S&P 500 Companies aren't necessarily the most ethical companies in the world lmao

If I inherited $1M today & the focus was on income & not capital gains I’d do this- Firstly, use the money to create a 6 figure online business, as to me, business in my experience is the best way to create income, you can then systemise / outsource the whole process if it wasn’t your passion as well. Id then invest a decent chunk in Cryptos such as Ziliqa which has 15% staking rewards annually, and they are paid out daily (compounding?) on the Atomic Wallet (20% if you include the GZil you get) & TFUEL (Theta Fuel) which after Thetas Mainnet 3.0 you’ll be able to earn up to 20%+ from staking. Not to mention these Cryptos could 5x this year on top of the staking rewards. (My investment opinion, not financial advice) id also invest a Chunk in service accommodation if I could outsource the work, otherwise I think it would take too much time away from your main focus, which is where you will generate the most income. For example, in the UKs you can buy “Chalets” (small mobile homes) for like 20-25k and rent them out to holidaymakers in the summer for like £400-500 a week, which is insane compared to traditional rental yields. unrelated, but you Posted a pic from Twitter and expressed views I commonly see on Leftist / Communist Twitter, those guys hate landlords with a passion & basically repeat Marx’s manifesto on the daily & are fully bought in by the communist ideology, while ignoring its flaws (not saying there aren’t good points, of course there are) so I was wondering how much of your Real Estate views are influenced by that? I ask because I was the same when I used to follow a lot of the Leftist accounts on there, then I actually done my own research & met real, ethical, landlords and realised they aren’t the Bogeyman that Twitter often makes them out to be, sure there’s some greedy & unethical ones out there, but I feel they all get unfairly lumped into the same basket. I am not saying the system is perfect as is, but I’m not sure your solutions/ the ones I see on leftist Twitter would solve everything either, but I do get your point about everyone having a house, but not everyone wants to buy. In fact one of the landlords I know is very influenced by eastern philosophy such as Vedanta and says him and his husband treat their tenants as “God” and do everything they can to make their stay as comfortable & enjoyable as possible. To me, that’s the perfect example of being an ethical landlord

You are meditation Realize that and then 'Life' becomes a 24/7 Meditation Then, 'formal meditation' is something you may wish to carry on for various reasons, but it will be as an abidance, not as an Inquiry style For example, you may wish to do a 'formal meditation' before starting your work day, or after you finish work to transition into relaxation time, or before bed to switch off etc etc However, Awakening is the realization that YOU ARE meditation, Besides the point, but @Nahm do you have any recommendations for a daily morning meditation? I like structure, and currently follow Wim Hof Breathing every morning before my cold shower (lol) but would love a meditation to practice on a regular basis

Are you allowed to spend the money on your business / Investments? I think this is a pretty common exercise for Manifestation / Law Of Attraction type work, in terms of 'feeling' you already have whatever it is that you want.

@weridikka Personally I disagree massively, most traditional financial sectors don’t really understand Crypto, the market cycles, the technology or any of the projects that well. IMO (not financial advice) I think we are still early in the bull cycle, in the 2017 bull run BTC had several big corrections (20-30%) and in normal markets this is HUGE, but in crypto this is normal just like a 2x return on a stock in one year is insane, in crypto it’s not that impressive. I ofc can’t predict the future, but going by market cycles, there will likely be a 40-60% pullback when this cycle ends & we go into “Cycle 4” before the next halving. in the long term, the BTC halving will have less effect as the market matures& less & less BTC is available to be mined. and, in my opinion lots of projects are quite literally going to change the world& how things are done& these are the projects and coins to focus on, ones that have real world use cases & solve problems

If you think BTC & ETH's tech are good look into Bitcoin Cash, Cardano, Ziliqa, Theta, TFuel etc These are their current prices BCH- $450 (I'm actually being paid in this instead of $ by all my clients who I do coaching work with in my business, it is SO much easier than PayPal & transferring currencies) ADA- $1.24 Theta- $3 / TFuel (Theta Fuel)- $0.01 ZIL- $0.11 VET- $.038 Let's come back to this near the end of the cycle and see where they all are Just for comparisons sake BTC- $44,500 ETH- $1400 Personally, I think the 5 I mentioned will see better gains from here, but I could be very very wrong & of course this isn't financial advice, just a random Crypto Addicts opinion
