Thanks for sharing. And kudos for you taking that leap right out of university. I went straight into the workforce and have been in it for 10 years or so. Agree on startups connected to high consciousness. Thanks for sharing, helps to know what the minimum is to feel secure instead running ourselves dry by chasing profit 24/7.

Simply put, look at any aspect of your present reality - and recognize that it is a creation of your own mind. Do this day after day after day..and you'll eventually become formless

Thanks! Appreciate you tying skill building into all of this and the need to not feel bad about starting small. One hurdle for me is gradually getting away from the comfort that my 9-5 provides (another trick of wage slave owners). Awesome feedback Yes - your life purpose course did wonders regarding this. For me it’s not freedom for freedoms sake, it’s leaving the world s better place by not wasting my existence and capabilities as a human with unique talents Agree. I make a six figure income from being a wage slave which isn’t bad, but it’s not my life purpose. I need to somehow be able to survive with funds from a life purpose. It’s in the works.

There is nothing separate from consciousness. This includes ego death.

Who/what has caused you this suffering? You cannot begin to heal until getting very concrete about its source.

It’s alright if you start out through the Egos motivation to manipulate reality to fulfill its selfish needs. After all, it would be a hard sell if the Ego really knew the truth..that obtaining awakening will lead to its demise . Therefore, it helps to trick it a bit.

Does the human have free will? No. But remember, you are not human

Here are some for me: Did you vote for Trump? (Lol...I'm bias) Thoughts on God? What's in your future? Do you like kids? What's the last book you read? Thoughts on infidelity? What are your parents like? What does a good day look like for you?

Seems like you care a little too much what people think. To hell with what other peoples opinion are of you, no one is perfect. Fear is an illusion.

Meditation - started out as a chore almost, but now I enjoy it. Sitting in nature is always a good thing.

Dammit !

Jaded much? Lol Wise advice. I find myself going in and out of contextual variations of Infinite Love. God has the power to frame Truth in an infinite number of ways, may as well choose the highest.

Agree with @Flowerfaeiry The pandemic was a blessing in disguise for me, in terms of being able to work from home, and meditate incrementally from the comfort of my apartment without dealing with a commute or bothersome co-workers. Now with the economy opening back up, wage slaves are expected to go back to…well, slaving. I’m also having to figure out how to juggle spirituality with a 9 to 5. Some things are just to good to turn your back on, spirituality is one of them. Good luck

The sad thing is that there is no recipe. We all have unique ego structures. But if I had to guess, start by asking yourself what you fear the most (can be specific or abstract). Then deeply explore it….like really deeply. It’s like finding a gold nugget in a dirt pile…the process sucks, but the result is unmatched.

True, I am you and you are me..we are One. The Oneness is what recognizes how alone it is. Nonetheless…wholeness comes with it ❤️

@KennedyCarter best of luck! There’s been a surge of US workers leaving jobs for more flexibility and higher wages. The pandemic has changed the way we look at work and wages for sure.

You are on it....just replace 'Are we' with 'Am I'

Getting shit-faced, realizing God, renouncing alcohol = Getting the message, hanging up phone. Getting shit-faced, realizing (or not realizing) God, keep drinking = Getting the message, not hanging up phone. Relatively speaking, both methods are toxic to the body, with the latter having graver consequences.

Being authentic is tricky, fear of death ultimately stands in the way. It’s human nature to want to be accepted socially, I find the more authentic you are, the less you fit into the social matrix.

This is your ego trying to play God. It has preferences and divides the world up into good and bad, good being that which favors it and bad being that which doesn’t. But ultimately, your ego doesn’t control shit. That’s the bad news. The good news is that you can realize that your Ego is an illusion.

For me, it’s a deep understanding of the infinite nature of reality. The question itself can have an infinite number of answers..and they would all be legit.

Yea, but relatively speaking, let’s not use mysticism to excuse any kind of alcoholism or other low consciousness addictions. Being sober is also a mystical experience if you want to go that route. Name me a shaman or mystic who’s a drunkard lol…exactly There is an ex alcoholic who used non duality to escape his addiction. Google Paul Hedderman.

Drunk blackouts and mystical experiences shouldn’t even be in the same sentence. Alcohol is a poison and damages the brain and other internal organs/nerves.

This is also the case when you are talking to humans. You think there is a "you" that the human is interacting with, but they are actually looking at nothing. Therefore your perceived relationships with them are indeed imaginary....and they don't exist just like your physical body doesn't. Scary stuff

@diamondpenguin True..it's also built on some nasty stuff too. Slavery, exploitation, corruption, pillaging, colonization, etc. The thing is, we're always building...the foundation is never stagnant, it changes as the country becomes more conscious.
