I wanted to understand islam from a scientific, and historical perspective. I've come to the realization that the revelation of muhammed was an induced brain state from meditation. Which a lot of muslims have shared in the past when they talked about seeing God or such things. Feel free to share your discoveries on the topic as well.

I've been contemplating this question, and i think i came up with an answer: spiritual practice is whatever is in alignment with ultimate reality. So for example meditation can be a spiritual practice when it involves solitude, because ultimate reality is one and solipsistic. Contemplation can be a spiritual practice, because it involves the mind, and ultimate reality is mind. That's one perspective, another perspective is because it is truth seeking, and ultimate reality is truth. Exploring diverse perspectives becomes a spiritual practice because it aligns you with infinity. And ultimate reality is infinity. Going out and doing activities alone, can be a spiritual practice, because it aligns with solipsism. psychedelics can be a spiritual practice, because they change your state of consciousness, and ultimate reality is consciousness. Self love can be a spiritual practice, because it involves love. Prayer can be a spiritual practice, because it is a communication with God, and ultimate reality is God.

I like many things in life. However a lot of them are very rarely monetizable, like rap music, or philosophy and spirituality. I was thinking about finding a traditional career path, something that is easy to monetize. However i don't want to learn any theory, or following an academic education. I went into an institute, i chose physical education because i thought it wouldn't be so heavy in theory, turns out 95% of it is academic theory. I want a hands on job, where i can work with my hands, develop some skills fast and easy, and start making money. I was thinking of carpentry, but i don't know yet how to find a mentor, to teach me the job. Part of it is i also learned that reducing your material ambitions in life, is key for a fulfilling life. I don't want kids or a family, i just want a simple job that i can do to pay the bills and in which i moderately can tolerate and enjoy it to a certain extent. What do yall think ?

I know it sounds crazy, but this is the world attractive extraverted men live in. And women love extraverted, bold, spontaneous, adventurous guys.

Lesson in mating: sometimes a girl just want a casual hookup. If you invite her on a date, she might ghost you. Like for example if you meet a girl which is in her car at night, and she's into you, you can ask her where are you up to? Where you going towards. She might answer home. Ask her if she lives alone. Then if yes, ask her, "can i come with you?" If she's into you, she will say yes, and you'll jump into her car, and go to her house and have casual sex. Easy peasy. This is a better strategy than just taking her number and leaving.

I've been confused by this problem, because on the one hand evolution says that humans are a species of animals. On the other hand, spirituality says, we are God. So which is true ? And i think that God is hallucinating himself to be an animal. So within the hallucination, Humans are animals. Outside the hallucination we are God. I think i got it right. @Leo Gura What do you think ?

Got the number of a girl who was with her car at the gas station almost too easily this night. Lesson: for some it's hell, for others it's too easy. To show you how easy this can be, i made out with 10 girls in a night at the club a while back. Yeah it can really be effortless and too easy, way too easy. It's just like with money, some starve, others burn money to light their cigars, or their fireplace. Yeah this is the world we live in. It's too good, if you're on the good side.

@Leo Gura Yes i get it, thanks for the clarifications. And don't get me wrong, your work is tremendously beneficial and life transforming. I was just pointing out some traps and lack of completeness in it. But i guess it was never meant to be that way anyways, because life is infinite. And so one should take responsibility for his own success.

Now the solution would be to quit lebanon, by pursuing a degree and applying to a job outside of lebanon, there are only like 3-5 universities that are recognized internationally out of 50-60 universities in lebanon. Which makes it impossible for the vast majority of students (over 85%) to quit lebanon.

The salaries for a job at McDonalds in lebanon are like 500$. In the us it's 2000$. A night out at the club will cost roughly the same in both countries around 100 dollars. No wonder there's sexual frustration.

Now before entering the main topic, i want to say that actualized.org offers a lot of value. However, it didn't fully work for me. And that's because of huge blind spots in Leo's work and actualized.org. 1. The first blind spot, is that Leo rarely talks about mental health. For those of us struggling with it, learning about mental health is crucial for our development. This is a huge blind spot in actualized.org. Leo likes to say that pathological psychology isn't his specialty. However like i said it is crucial for actualizing our potential as human beings, especially for those who like me have mental illnesses like ocd and bipolar disorder. Also the link between mental health and physical health, substance addictions... Leo doesn't stress enough the dangers of hard drugs, in fact he promotes the use of psychedelics as tools for spiritual growth. Fine however, if you're like most people, there won't be a fixed boundary between use for personal development, use for recreation, use for chemsex... For example because of Leo's lax attitude towards hard drugs, i mixed once mdma with my psychiatric medications like anti depressants and anti psychotics. Which is extremely dangerous. Luckily i came out fine, but you know i could've died. 2. The second hugely important blind spot in all of Leo's work and actualized.org, is his lack of talking about how to actually make money. If you're like most people making money is central to your ability to self actualize. However Leo won't even dedicate a series explaining in details to us how to actually generate that money. I took the life purpose course and honestly, if you're clueless about the topic of mastery and such things, then it can provide a lot of value. However i have prior to taking the life purpose course, read the book mastery of robert greene and i didn't found much new information in the course compared to that book. And the thing after both of these, the book of robert greene, and leo's course, i still hasn't figured out how to convert skill or passion into cash. For most of us we would be judged on whether we're failures or successes in life based on money, not spiritual enlightenment or wisdom. Because of this lack of money situation, i am still a virgin at 22 years old. Even though i applied the insights in Leo's series on how to get laid. It just wasn't enough. I did 2500 approaches, and still didn't got laid because of lack of money. Especially if you're starting in a third world country what you need to quit is money.
