They can be, but they also can be the most humble. It's best not to categorize. Also, become aware if the question itself is eluding to some form of jealousy / envy within you. The ego is tricky in this way.

@EntheogenTruthSeeker you'll need to be courageous enough to tackle being lonely. It sucks for a period of time, no one will be there for you, nor should you expect them to. But the beauty of it is that you will learn what it means to truly make yourself happy, and get the zest of life through your pure Being.

Speak for yourself. Seems like some of you have created a shadow out of pick-up and sexuality in general. Keep in mind that your spirituality involves integration. Doing earthly and ego-ic things, but in a high consciousness way. There are high consciousness way of going about the pragmatics of life.

@Sempiternity live a little...geez

I was all ego this past weekend during Halloween. Ate shitty food, drank too much and woke up feeling like hell. This was after really good strides with meditation and contemplation..I told myself I'd take it light. Low and behold, a few calls here and there, I was out running the streets (had fun, but I thought i'd do better lol). How do you manage your backsliding episodes after making spiritual progress?

Stress is unavoidable when pursuing your highest calling. There will be roadblocks from time to time. Main thing is learning stress management, so it doesn't deter you. Work with the stress instead of running away from it and you'll be fine.

I think your mind is using this to trick yourself out of going for what you want. In actuality, being famous has nothing to do with pursuing your passion / art. It's complete irrelevant, you could become famous or you may have very little following, the important part is following your bliss and ignoring any negative self-talk. There is no guarantee that you'll be well known. There are many artist who are underground, the creativity itself is what matters, not the number of fans.

Check out the Actualized.org Videos: What is God? An Advanced Explanation of God Realization Guided Exercises for Realizing You Are God You are going to have to put in the work in understand this for yourself. The forum is not that helpful for this. Study the content in the videos, and contemplate it deeply.

@Vincent S Well said

They work the same way as your so called waking state. There is no distinction, everything is a dream / infinite imagination.

It’s whatever you imagine it to be. You can tell yourself that it is or isn’t, your ability to construct a narrative is infinite.

Your life is imaginary. So whatever happens after your perceived death, will be more imagination. The key is understanding that who you are, is the Being who is imagining life, death and infinite realms that are not life and death. This is the master key. That Being who you are is not your human body or mind, but the one who is imagining it.

@Vision thanks!

What is the primarily difference between the two? I am preparing to start my life coaching practice Q1 2022. I plan on charging for coaching services and learning materials/products. However, the coaching is grounded in high consciousness ways of parenting children, and would like to partner with similar organizations in the future.

Nope.

I like visualizations better. Something about affirmations seem very gimmicky, almost like wishful thinking to satisfy ego-ic needs / convince yourself of an alternate reality through words. There is something more pure, organic, present and spiritual when it comes to visualization.

The how is sheer imagination, it has no mechanism whatsoever. It just happens, this is how intelligence and creativity works.

No way lol. Say no to cigs.

Wise words! Speak truth to power. yes

I am working on improving my friendships after years of being taken advantage of by narcissist, who used the friendship for selfish reasons. The goal is to be more conscious, emotionally intelligent, intuitive and holistic about opportunities for friendships. Thanks.

@Gabith Nice profile pic man, looking sharp. There is no clear answer. Some people are able to smoke weed everyday and get a lot done. I had to cut down because it would make me somewhat paranoid and less social. I’m also not as sharp mentally, although I can still have some profound insights while being high. If you are at a point in life where you need be active, pursuing business and out socializing with people, weed may not be the best bet. It’s great to be a stoner when you have the majority of survival goals handled to where you can just chill and not have to hustle as much.

@Harlen Kelly I needed to rigorously challenge you on any biases towards polygamy...you seem to favor it as inherent to humans from your earlier statements. What needs to be realized is that what's considered "inherent" changes with evolution. Truth be told, there are a lot of folks on this forum that project their personal issues with relationships and sexuality on those around them. Misery loves company, and there are those of us who will challenge those projections.

Don't weasel your way out of this lol. Your statement above is what warranted a proper and rigorous challenge. The claim that humans are not monogamous is not observable, measurable, factual...or truthful in any absolute sense. What's factual is that humans have the ability to choose, what's inherent is the choice itself. Do you also agree that polygamy is not inherent? Nothing in your comments alluded to it, as you seem to have a bias in favor of looking at polygamy as being more inherent the monogamy.

@Jacob Morres @hoodrow trillson @Preety_India this great, thank you
