Mostly just uneducated:D.

Yes. If you do it properly you will probably get into more interesting states than if you just watched your breath for example.

There are multiple kinds of jhãnas. The mind illuminated includes the easy kind. Also the harder types. But those are all the same kind of jhãnas - the samatha jhãnas. Those are achieved by focusing on a strong objects that reinforces itself and makes concentration on itself automatic. You can't access those without getting access concentration first and then switching to a secondary meditation objects - when the breath disappears. Then there are different things called jhãnas that are more like jhãnic qualities mixed with Vipassana deconstruction. Those are not harder to reach but are not a purely concentration practice. You can get an even mix of both using kasina meditation. So you don't have to worry about these details as much. You can get a nimmita very fast - specifically with the fire kasina (the secondary object). On other types it's not as fast. Too-long-didn't-understand(TLDU): Either do mind illuminated or kasina.

High concentration will make you learn much quicker, perform better in business, need less sleep and generally become a much more effective human. That should be enough motivation for an ambitious person. You have to do it without back support and it has to be at least 90 minutes (or something like that). Preferably in a single session. Everyday. You can feel like you're on something better than modafinil 24/7 and that's not even the high end. That's like 1% of where 2 hours a day can get you in the long term. I'm getting to a point where I can't meditate in the morning because the states I reach would be too high to function properly. So I do a session before sleep instead.

Not at all. It might build up your overall capacity overall. If you want to use spirituality for material advancement read Advanced magick for beginners by Alan Chapman. Actually I'd say you should practice that before diving deep into deeper realizations. Since you'll need a stable base to not end up a homeless mystic. It can be pretty destabilizing. Get your finances, dating and health to a degree you're happy with and that is possible with your genes and then go all out on spirituality. And reading a few hundred books on diverse topics and then applying them is often a prerequisite to even have a mind that's developed enough to reach the really deep stuff - you can't figure out the nature of reality if you have the mind of a teenage boy :D.

Consciousness and understanding both above and maybe encompassing (I personally think that increasing consciousness alone is not enough for full development of those if not shifted in those directions using appropriate techniques) neti neti, magick etc.

Idk if this is just specific to my body chemistry but when I trip on the same day when I take modafinil it changes how modafinil works next time - it might become trippy pernamently. It is definitely a good combo but do you really want to be in a trippy headspace whenever you take modafinil for work?? Who knows if the effects ever turn back to normal.

Nice, those are astral projections. I can tell you how to have more of them if you want.

Yeah he's a scammer but calling him a sex trafficker when that hasn't been confirmed at all is just wrong. Managing onlyfans has nothing to do with sex trafficking.

Not exactly conscious but if you'd enjoy then why the hell not? If you have more time and money for spirituality and would enjoy having a bit too much sex it might be something for you. Just don't become a drug addict. And don't call it life purpose. Just a fun way to make money.

Replace the cigarette with a joint or a dab pen (if you don't mind blasting off). And plan it so it doesn't interfere with your survival. Just a thought ?.

Noting + HHC = panaromic vision A question that previously gave no results can go surprisingly deep if you were hindered by a lack of consciousness before Smoking it gives better results than edibles.

1) 1/3 of a weed cookie The reason I believe that this moment had a past and will have a future and is in space is because I believe my memories. I believe my memories because I have memories that tell me that my assuptions about what happened is correct. The normal assumptions are a bunch of unconcious nonsense.

Leo's evil conservative twin.

Why couldn't he be a serious mystic? Engaging in devilry doesn't negate mysticism. I heard it took a few tries for him to die

You'll learn things that are more correctly aligned with what actually makes money. So maybe cut back the hours a bit so you don't burn out?

This might make some mods screech (especially if they're not familiar with some of the ways spiritual development can go), but you should do a meditation retreat (minimum 10 days, 10+h a day, preferably longer). It's likely you'd get an Eckhart Tolle style instant alleviation of 90% suffering that would stay there even after you are not on the retreat. If that doesn't happen then yeah, I'd get the antidepressants and continue practicing. But you should be able to assess whether you can handle the fact, that at least some parts of the retreat would be destabilizing. Dark night is a lot more common than people think. A dead giveaway should be if you first started with very positive experiences, maybe completely spontaneous (doesn't matter if it's spontaneous, it would just make it more obvious).

Trolling to this degree is still a mental illness, at least in my view. Just a less severe form. It definitely did not grow his channel, so it was not a business decision. At least not a good one. He can't be completely sane and consider eating shit a good marketing strategy simultaneously

Well, business is harder than going to university and getting a job. So don´t expect to have it easier if you go the business route. But when you do succeed it is much more rewarding, both on the mental level and financially.

Read advanced magick for beginners by Alan Chapman and start practicing right away. I have literally thousands of experiences with witchcraft and I consider this to be one of the best starting points. Another great thing would be to combine it with a fire kasina retreat. And the most accurate movie is "The Craft" (the old version). Yeah, some parts are exaggerated but not by much.

Sounds like you used the trip well.

It sounds like you got a legit spiritual realization. Not "last piece of puzzle" by any means, but still, you seem sincere. Just take some time, do psychedelics, contemplate and meditate, and see how it deepens.

Enlightement, in the normal sense of the word, does not gurantee a high level of personal development. Some of them were even warlords. SD Red. All of the classic religions are sexually repressed. SD Blue. And they can lead to some deep realizations. Basically, you can be an underdeveloped monkey even if you are blissed out 24/7 and have a permanent no self realization.

Another thought - I got around not feeling a sense of obligation because my current main client gives me daily deadlines (copywriting). And also - it is important to make sure that I am not taking an order that is more complicated than my current skill level (eg, - doing a lot of complicated modifications to an existing website is much harder than building a website from scratch). So if you can think of a way to do something like that it would be ideal. Idk if it is helpful in your situation, but maybe another thing to think about.

The main issue I see with that is - are you really sure that weekly homework from religious studies (which probably won't do much for your spiritual life) and cramming for exams regarding memorized Buddhist stuff will be more fulfilling than working on your finances/business/maybe starting a second small business? I get the appeal of having a chill time where you mainly study. Especially if it's somewhat related to spirituality. Just something to consider. I went to University 2 years ago because I thought it would be much more chill than working on my business and now I'm considering quitting. But I definitely learned some useful stuff on the other hand. I'd love to do a year long concentration retreat instead of university, that would be much better. Except that requires being able to not work on business at all etc.
