The body is pure fiction as well. Something that isn’t real can’t die because it never lived. The ego says it does..but that’s the bullshit we tell ourselves. The only real thing is consciousness, and it’s infinite…everlasting.

Saying no to counterproductive things. (Ie. discipline)

Nice

An afterlife is pure fiction, a mind construction that has no substance to it..at all.

This is true lol. The last step in this process is the hardest. In the end there is no “me” to be enlightened. I am enlightenment itself.

Not a good idea. This will lower her attraction in an instant. Focus on resolving that issue yourself instead of projecting your insecurity on your lover. After all, your insecurity is not her problem.

There is an experiencer, but it is invisible..not bound by form. It's also who you are.

I think that is awesome, best of luck in your life's work. The video was very powerful for me, I plan to make changes both internally and externally from watching.

I can relate - I believe it's just the challenge of integration. This is the stage I am working through now, and requires a certain level of mastery..practically speaking. Thanks for sharing.

I kind of stumbled into tech. I did a very generic degree in Business Management at university. Luckily, I got professional experience through getting an internship shortly after my second year. Key is choosing one or two things you want pour a lot time in to gain mastery. You can do this at any age, but the earlier the better.

@FlyingLotus thanks for sharing! The thread was helpful, and will plan on checking out some of the book recommendations.

Merriam Webster definition: Perfectionism is the doctrine of moral character constitutes a person's highest good. Perfectionism is the theological doctrine that a state of freedom from sin is attainable on earth. Perfectionism is a disposition to regard anything short of perfection as unacceptable. I have struggled with perfectionism a lot throughout my life, I believe most of it is due to childhood trauma. It hasn't always been negative, I've been able to be super productive and successful (relatively speaking), but in a neurotic way. As I continue to self actualize, I see the limits of perfectionism. Being a perfectionist requires one to be heavily invested in self esteem. However, I am finding that self compassion is a healthier investment. Knowing that I am flawed human, does not mean I can't love myself. The paradox is that self compassion actually has big returns on quality of life and just being creative in general. Just food for thought, I hope some of you can relate :-)

Deconstructing incel culture...I love it.

How do you stoping hating yourself? Simple: make a decision that you are no longer going to hate yourself. See, you must realize that hating yourself is giving you some kind of benefit/payoff. And to begin loving yourself causes fear in you because you think there is a downside to doing that. This is how the mind works. It does not want to let go of self serving attachments, even if those attachments (self hate in this example) are detrimental. Be courageous and start loving yourself and your flaws.

Truth is non-provable. There will be no other to validate your awakening. You have to be willing to put in the work to discover Truth within yourself. This requires discipline and commitment, it does not happen overnight. Also, be honest with yourself if you are in a space in your life where you are ready to embark on this path. If you try to understand these things, but don't have a solid life foundation to keep yourself motivated, you will drive yourself insane with over thinking.

When you awaken you'll understand that solipsism isn't even real. Literally speaking. Why make a video on something that's a human constructed fantasy?

Awesome book. Learned a lot of practical advice that I currently use in my career in the tech role. A book that's equally good: Linchpin - by Seth Godin (one of my favorites of all time).

@Aaron p Thank you so much

@wellbranding all fine and dandy, but have you realized that you are God?

@Aaron p so true, perfection is a relative notion..and we often attempt to be perfect to receive some kind of external validation. What is realized is that we have the capacity to give ourselves the love we seek. The more we love our own imperfections, the more we love the imperfections in others. It allows us to be whole on a spiritual level. Thanks for blessing my post with your wisdom!

This silly to consider when you think about all the horrors of generations before. Slavery, pillaging, genocide, holocaust, oppression of women/minorities are just to name a couple. Older generations will often have a negative take on younger generations, simply because they don't understand how the evolution of culture and consciousness works.

@Nahm Beautiful, thanks for sharing.

Be of service to the universe. Looking out means living a life of service to yourself and others.

@Moksha of course.. but I will say that the realization is so powerful that it's enough to keep you motivated to stay awake for an entire lifetime (and hopefully beyond this life).

This is the crux of the problem. The legality of substances (food, medicine, etc) needs to be determined by a rigorous and non-bias cost/benefit analysis. The problem is a lack of transparency due to special interest, and the lobbying of government. Capitalism is often at the root.
