This is beautiful, Music is the language of the Gods, I really like that! Who would! there's a kind of music for every occasion! Partying? Upbeat, fun music (not to mention Electronic / DnB etc) Happy? Plenty of music to fuel that Depressed? Plenty of music to express it Grief? Plenty of music to help you through it you get the point. You can't even put into words the value of great musicians and the impact they have on people's lives in sooooooooooooooo many ways If you're a truly great Musician / Writer / Athlete etc you're greatest service can often be sharing your talents with the world, it is the least selfish thing you can do paradoxically

Bruhhhh, everyone has already said it but still MUSIC IS AMAZING! Musicians provide unlimited value as artists, they literally save lives with their music, inspire people, even are the fuel for teenagers to party to lol, the amount of value Artists like Musicians provide is priceless. Not to mention by doing what they love, they are spreading love & encouraging others to do what they love! Never underestimate the power of Artists- Musicians, Novelists, Painters, Creators etc!

Just a phase, most go through it post-awakening Wait til you realize all life then becomes is a celebration & expression of this understanding & you get to enjoy the ride doing whatever you want! As Rupert Spira says- 'Love and do whatever you want!' although he's quoting someone, I just can't remember who. Remember, it's a celebration, enjoy it and try not to get stuck in Non-Dual Nihilism!

This guy understands the markets & economic machine as well as anyone, DEFO a great resource!

The LOC model of Ramaji & Ananda has always gotten a lot of flak on here from most, and I get how it can come across. For those who can’t relate to the numbers & what not, Rupert explains in this video how not all awakenings / Non-Dual teachers are talking about the highest truth, and in fact, most aren’t. It is essentially distilling 1000 into a 10 minute video, also has some nice points that not all awakened beings will end up as teachers, in fact the majority will carry on as “normal citizens”

The meme of all memes Of course.

@Forestluv beautiful

@VeganAwake So true, not sure why you’re getting so much backlash for this unless I’m missing something Pretty much every spiritual teacher would also recommend their students who suffer with mental illnesses to find specialists and do what is required As far as I’m aware so does Leo, I remember him explicitly saying so in a few videos?

Couldn't agree more. People want the results without putting in the work, but don't realize the work & journey are where the real results are found. How do you think we can change this for future generations? Looking at the generation below me it seems to only be getting worse with the abuse of Instant Gratification only getting stronger, surely we have to reach a tipping point soon?

@Phil777 Awakening only enhances these experiences & places even more. It means you go to them as a celebration of life & enjoyment, instead of as an escape for life and coming at it from a sense of lack. As you say, enjoy these events, the music, the people, the experience, and if you are going to use Drugs recreationally (including Alcohol in this) make sure to do so safely, sounds so cliché but less is more & the best experiences I had were on lower doses, if you feel the need to get 'completely fucked' every time you go out, it's probably an inclination something is wrong! So, in summary, life is for celebrating and enjoying, so go enjoy these events! Luckily you don't have to choose between the two, and in fact integrating spirituality just makes them wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more fun, at least in my experience

Meh, I prefer Non-Duality where you find true, absolute happiness and then you can enjoy all the pleasures you want as an expression & celebration of this understanding instead of being dependent on them for happiness. For example, having Sex as a celebration of your connection with someone, instead of just a mutual masturbation with someone else to fill a void. Or drinking alone at night out of desperation, compared to going to the club / pub with your friends to have some fun & for the joy of it. This way your happiness is not dependent on outside factors or hedonistic pursuits, but you can still enjoy them without getting stuck in the spiral of addiction. All that matters to me is Happiness though, and I can tell you when you're depressed no amount of pleasure alone will fix it, it just provides band aids. The most ironic part of all is that when you are actually happy you can enjoy these 'Hedonistic' pursuits 10000x more as they are coming from a place of fullness, instead of lack.

@BlackMaze You're right and that us why my publishing company are actually going to publish 3 audiobooks & books going over the basics of Crypto / Bitcoin, how to get started investing & then finally a trading book for those interested. I can give you a free copy when they come out in a few months if you remind ,me! If I'm not allowed to do this the mods can remove the post

Honestly, YouTubers are my fave resources, and videos explaining each project to help you understand coins you're interested in

@BlackMaze This for investing in particular or building wealth?

Crypto, learn EVERYTHING YOU CAN! I recommend YouTubers like: Crazy4Cryptos AltCoinsDaily JRNY Crypto and twitter- 360 Trader (called the XRP dump, very level headed)

Thought this could be an interesting thread, what is a 'radical' take you have (regarding society, economics & politics) that you think would actually work & benefit society? Mine is that individual Economic & Financial education in the modern day is far more beneficial than advocating for systemic change that will take decades, if not centuries. It will also benefit society more in the short term if the majority of citizens were financially literate. For example, take 2 18 year olds. One educates, starts a business, invests for 3 decades, becomes wealthy, offers great value to society & actually has resources to help at least on a local level& inspire some change. One dedicates their life to social change & activism for those 3 decades, has an average job & salary and doesn't have any real resources to make any kind of changes. This opinion arose from seeing endless politics & economic debates on Twitter, TikTok & even on here. I guess in a nutshell, it's also be the change you want to see. I'm not saying don't advocate for change etc, I'm just saying debating online everyday isn't going to get you that far & probs isn't going to make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things. What's your 'radical' viewpoints?

@Nahm Amazing explanation & you’re right, desire creates semantic issues & is usually associated with attempting to fulfil that illusory separate self & sense of lack “outside of ourselves!” I loved your explanation as the answer being God, and then to use the law of attraction from a place of love to create our dream reality!! @aurum thank you for those great points!! I will definitely mull on all of those

“Profit is theft” is a Communist principle, they believe profit is a result of Exploitation of labour, but yes, I do disagree with that statement. Yes, you are correct that is my values, and as such how I run my own company, and I personally don’t see myself as exploiting workers for making profit. If one wished to run their business in a way where all profit from the Labour was equally distributed, or in a way all the workers agreed on (like a Co-Op) I would have no issue with that, and certainly wouldn’t see it as sinful. Yeah, I’m not basing this from a capitalist viewpoint, and I tend to Skew left on most policies & values & I am certainly not saying all of Marxism should be ignored / discarded?

@Preety_India sorryyyy, this one I think the biggest change is desiring / manifesting not to fulfil a lack & quote on quote “fill the void” but instead comes from a place of happiness & love, so is done for the fun & joy of it, and because YOU, the absolute, want to experience it! @Nahm if you can chime In how desire arises post awakening & how the “law of attraction” / creating our own dream reality works! P.S. when’s the book gonna be available! @Leo Gura Lmao, had a feeling you’d say this

Love these ones! Recently brought grounding mats & sheets and LOVE them, can’t wait til summer so I can walk around like a crazy hippie barefoot lmao. Bottom 3 I think we would be lucky to see this Millenia, how would you replace money? 1) I would argue differently. Based on the law of abundance, which I’ll link a Francis Lucille video as he explains better than me. I would agree though, that “tendering to” your inner world first is highly advantageous for the combination of creating wealth consciously, instead of from a place of lack & without much love. So, imo, more conscious beings creating wealth, means more conscious use of wealth gradually & as long as one isn’t simply hoarding wealth in a bank (most rich people would never, ever do this) I think it can be productive. 2) Agree with this, but probably not for the same reason. Well, firstly it already does lose value due to inflation. Like if you just kept £100 under the mattress since 1980, it would be worth a lot less now. But, yes, this encourages spending / investing which benefits the economy & also helps the flow of money & works in line with a Kabbalist principle of “Receiving for the sake of sharing.” 3) I disagree as I don’t see a viable way of it being funded personally, I agree with the principle, just not sure UBI is the best solution to meet everyone’s basic needs.

I would actually agree massively that workers & “labor” needs to be compensated more fairly in a variety of ways, but I just don’t think it is as simple as “all profit is theft.” Yes, I’m only 21, but in my brief experience of being both an Employee & running a business, I can say with certainty, the majority of times, the owner deserves to be compensated more than the employees, I do agree that the disparity is currently too much, I think that is obvious to everyone, but, I don’t subscribe to the Marxist viewpoint of profit = theft of someone else’s Labour, just like I don’t agree that “landlords are parasites” fully, but see it as a partial truth & of course, the current system is not perfect. I believe everyone in Company X should benefit as Company X grows, just not from a Marxist viewpoint. Although, if you believe in that & subscribe to that, Worker Co-Ops are a viable option & I know Some Video Games companies have gone down that route, as well as many others. I agree, the Left / Right divide only makes things worse, as modern politics is akin to just subscribing to an ideology & locking in deeper & deeper, which is of course what Leo warns against in the ideology video, for any ideology. I do see your points though & I am enjoying discussing them. I think a discussion we need to have is how we make working conditions fairer without the simplicity of “you must be a socialist / communist!!!” Argument.

@SOUL I completely agree we need both, and I am of course promoting conscious wealth creation, I thought that was obvious, I’m not promoting to go and open a McDonalds to become a millionaire ? I more meant, don’t use collective, societal long term growth as a way to bypass on life if you get me and be a reason to generate negative beliefs in certain areas? That’s all! And, of course on a more relative level, taking care of our survival needs, frees up time & energy to focus on quote on quote “higher” pursuits. And, yes sadly, lots of the wealthiest people aren’t necessarily the most conscious, I just don’t see it as an absolute either way. To me, Money = energy (yes I know it sounds very Napoleon Hill, Secret, etc) and therefore, is neutral and up to us how we create & utilise it. But, I was intrigued by your points, as I admit I do hold some views that would be regarded as Pragmatic for sure, but of course all my opinions are dynamic and if I was alive in the year 2500 & the average person was much more conscious some of the more “idealist” philosophies & ideas would be what I’d suggest. I just don’t see a lot of them as viable right now, if you get me?

@SOUL please expand if you can I guess my pragmatic views are based on real life experience but I am only 21 so ??‍♂️

That’s what this thread is for, radical views! I must admit I disagree pretty strongly with all the top 7, but I agree with 6/7 of the bottom ones haha. When you say private ownership of capital, do you literally mean nobody has any sort of private funds / assets? & are you proposing full socialism / communism as the top point sounds like 2 of Marx’s main proposals, unless I’m mistaken and I want to be educated if I am! But, either way that’s something I don’t think I’ll ever come round on, maybe that is just my bias as a small business owner, wannabe investor & ideally future real estate owner! @Leo Gura @Nahm @Haumea2018 would love to hear your guys proposals as slightly older members of the forum

Now these are radical! Personally I'm massively against Equality of Outcome. As a small example if I gave $10000 to 10 of my friends I can guarantee you would get 10 different outcomes, and those who were rich before will get rich again & those who were broke, will become broke again. Just look at Lottery winners. I do agree with working for passion, but I believe that happens when we achieve your 4th point. Agree with your last point in terms of ending all discrimination against identity, but disagree we should all become the same Blobs without identity, our uniqueness is what makes us human & we should express that imo. In terms of Population, I support @Leo Gura's ideas that we don't need to population reduction, more so, we need technological innovation & solutions to sustain the population we have. I see your point regarding the Environment, it just wouldn't be feasible in the real world, I feel a more sustainable approach would be slowly moving towards a greener economy. I also find it hilarious we're told to eat less meat, shower for 10 minutes less per week etc, all while HUGE corporations literally destroy the environment day by day. It's like Killing a fly, and leaving an untamed tiger alive in the same room.
