Yes, it's nothing new unfortunately, I did't watch the first vid till the end, but the fact that we have 'Garbage islands' floating around in oceans disgusts me, and I feel triggered by people that are throwing their garbage in the water or litter.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of "Why" questions do you ask your customers?

This vid really goes deep into this topic. If you don't want to listen trough the ~1h30min then it all boils down to: 1. Are you boored or lonely? 2. Do you feel lonely when you're not boored? & Life purpose. But I suggest you go trough the vid, very helpfull.

Haha, we could answer any question/provide a solutoin to any problem with simply saying : "We come to this life to suffer" But does it actually help in any way? not likely.

Uhm, well, look at kids, they ask "Why" non stop, look at the world as a mysterious, interesting place, atleast untill the point when we get put into schools and formed to think and act a certain way.

Ahahah, I really did read trough your topic and every single comment and I can relate to you 99% if not 100%. I'm facing Exactly the same issue as you do. I work from home, have no family and maybe a few people I talk with occasionally, so I spend most of my time alone and also been wondering if this is ok for my psyche. And when I ask or help or hunt for forum topics about this issue the answers seem so damn complicated that I just can't understand them. Exactly like this Anyways, I hope you do find yourself a GF or bros to share bromance with, atleast thats what I'm doing, because IMO meditation or self-inquiry or just letting go just won't cut it, you gotta work on those things bro. Good luck.

@Fadl Considering that you'll just be starting off and have no experience recruiters will be looking at your overall communication skills, how clear do you speak (do you mumble, use a lot of "emmm, uhhh, ummm") Your presentation skills, your voice and intonation. If you get unlucky you might get the "Sell me this pen" test, google it. EDIT: I still want to highlight that, IF you continue to work on yourself, and eventually tap into stage green and beyond You will regret this decision.

But money is good, if that's all you care about.

Only go for it if you have consciously made that decision, and know that it's the thing you really want to do. I've been in sales for a decent amount of time (~2years) And never ever do I want to go back that route again. You'll get yelled at, sworn at, humiliated etc by potential costumers. You might end up selling overpriced services/products to people who don't actually need it. They have no idea how to manage their money and just buy everything that sounds good. It's deeply orange and manipulative career path to take. It will change your personality so that you will use sales tactics/manipulation to manipulate your friends/family that might eventually turn you into a icon of stage orange.

Fuck man, neither am I. In fact I'm so unenlightened that I don't even really know what enlightenment is. Beat that, haha.

a friend of mine that has no idea what spirituality or self help is, did shrooms for the first time in his life and really started to beleive that he has gone insane due to hallucinations and generally being in an "unknown territory" and was planning to jump his 5th floor window, he didnt tho.

I prefer physical because I'm spending most of my time staring at screens - computer screen at work, phone etc. And I try to spend as much time as possible away from them when I have a choice.

What if you're aware of this function? I assume then you have choice to have morals or not. from that point you can have morals without arrogance. IMO going meta on having morals is the key here,

If by "Hurting others" you mean putting those who believe and hold dollars in a disadvatage - then Yes you can scapegoat me and call me a bad guy. In the end of the day it's my money that I earned and I can choose what to do with my money, and I'm voting for bitcoin with my dollars.

Yes - Collapse of a currency is nothing unusual.

Becomes an issue for who? I believe its already an issue and I exchange my dollars for bitcoin, and therefore I vote that I want bitcoin to have worth, not dollars.

Well I do beleive that people are loosing faith in dollar. There is no currency in history that has survived trough all times, then why would dollar? Me, personally - I am extremelly pissed that I'm loosing the worth of my money, so by purchasing Bitcoin, gold or whatever I'm voting for it to have worth, and so do others, because we worked hard for our money.

Well I'd take a look what other people with shittons of money do, Elon Musk for example bought 1.5B worth of Bitcoin which is generating them (Tesla) more income than selling cars. Anyway, Where to invest and is it the right time to invest are the never ending questions not only for people with tons of money.

I'm fun at parties.

No, I can't. You sound triggered and I'm not sorry. Take a look ar how much purchasing power you loose when you hold cash. And just take a little peak at Bitcoin, not onlt now but for the last decade, lol.

Well of course his talking about it, everyone is talking about it, and its for a reason: Look ar US Debt, and look at how much money gets printed, the government is basically turning your hard earned money less and less valuable. I do believe that people want and need an option to stand against inflation. Thats why we need Bitcoin in this age of information.

So as usual I'll start my topics with my enlightenment stats: Been meditating for ~1.5 years daily (seated, eyes closed, 35min - 1h), just a few days ago started a new technique by focusing on breath and cultivating a feeling of satisfaction when noticing that my attention is not perfectly still on my meditation object (breath) Been doing self-inquiry 3 - 4 times a week, 25 mins, but recently stopped and will restart when I'll enter higher levels of Jhana. So basically only scratching the surface for now, No psychedelics. Anyway, Yesterday during sleep I had very vivid and weird dreams, I think it was the first time that I've ever dreamt of someone that wasnt me, I wasnt in the dream so to speak, I was only the one watching the dream about another person. At some point something weird happened and I woke up from my dream BUT I had absolutely no feeling of ME, none! Like everything was the same as usual, same body, same sensations etc But it was not targeted or was not occuring so to speak towards the feeling for me, the feeling just wasnt there, empty. It frightened the living shit out of me and for maybe 2 - 5 seconds I basically begged for this to not be true and my sense of self returned back to normal. This nights experience will foreved change the way I look at self inqury and my sense of self, I'm not even really sure if I really want to experience it ever again, I actually feel kinda empatethic and loving towards that feeling me me 100x more than I did before, its crazy. I've read a lot of trip reports that report the same sensations when experiencing ego death on psychedelics. Is that so? Has anyone else experienced something similiar during sleep?

Without the story/history about me as meow_meow who is 28 years old, has a job etc etc there wouldn't really be a me? Without me the feeling of fear would just be on its own? or in this case the feeling wouldn't even arise since there wouldn't be a me who all out of sudden dissaperared for 2 -3 seconds. Idk if I'm getting it correctly

None, I suppose. If I understand the question correctly - How is the feeling related to me without this story? Anyway, I guess it was just a bad dream and I'm probably just exageratting things. Dude, Yea, I undestand what you're saying but for me personally If I'll just start walking around singing and dancing I aint getting enlightened for sure. And I do actually enjoy meditation, I don't enjoy self-inqury that much because for me it requires more mental labor, but I'll work on it once I'll have some other things sorted out. Relaxing attention on itself sounds hard but I'll try it out, thanks.

I live in Eastern Europe and we have an overproduction of psychologists. However - most of them are underqualified, have no idea what spirtuality is and have a ton of issues themselves, a lot of them dont even know how addictions work. Psychologist with atleast some level of spiritual development + knowledge & experience with self-help is pure Gold, we need people like that.
