  1. I have been living completely alone for a few years now, and I think my rest of life will be spent like this. I am starting to accept this way of life as the norm. I am looking for some inspiration and examples of people who have survived their lives alone, travelling, minding their business, making money, self-development, art, and poetry. Do you have something to read or watch for me?
  2. Hate is a strong word. Perhaps most people find it selfish, in my experience, specially the closed ones.
  3. I am not sure I fully understand. I know many Muslims who don't pray 5 times a day and yet are very spiritual. Whether one prays or not is a path for them to choose, and it should be a choice.
  4. Wouldn't you want to marry the love of your life?
  5. Most women are in a state of Manipulation and Inauthenticity (by ignorance). They will never be enlightened.
  6. Trying to preach anything to anyone creates resistance. Praying 5 times a day can be a beautiful spiritual practice if it is done willingly.
  7. Have you tried consciously choosing to suffer? That suffering doesn't feel the same somehow.
  8. I thought we could choose a day or two to fast and share our journeys here because fasting is so difficult. But I can spend the whole day maybe chit-chatting about God and not thinking of food.
  9. @ZenAlex Any act done out of selfless love is meaningful to both the individual and the collective.
  10. @Davino Consciousness, the first-order reality, is an irreducible mystery.
  11. @PenguinPablo You can do all the chasing you want for the rest of your life if it brings you joy, positivity, and a sense of goodness towards other human beings. The author doesn't find it satisfying; each has their own journey.
  12. @Indianonymous That sounds like a very typical stage Orange problem - Pleasure chasing, one after the other. Try to change the environment around you; you will probably see a change in your behavior. As I see it, you have the intent, but perhaps the environment needs an update.
  13. @Lifelover88 Achievements also do not make one happy. We chase progress so much, but in the end, the happiness fades and you jump onto something else. Its very fleeting.
  14. @Leo Gura Awesome Leo. I am very happy that you exist
  15. @Breakingthewall Sadly, you can only help those who want to help themselves. The only other way is total acceptance. I can't imagine what you are going through, brother, Maybe ego death. Consider that you are already dead and live the rest of your life as a bonus. Much love.
  16. @Husseinisdoingfine Once you go deep into spirituality, you will perhaps understand the importance of surrendering. Surely they have not integrated other stages, but I wouldn't question Blue's faith.
  17. @Leo Gura I would challenge the Stage Orange view that one can be moral through secular human values, It makes one rather neutral and less sensitive than their immediate surroundings.
  18. For Omega 3 intake I use seeds - Flax seeds.
  19. @James123 Maybe its's God's way to bring us closer to God, but ultimately, God is not known. Try to find peace in the state of not-knowing. On the other hand, to continue living a sane life, perhaps be part of a community where you can share your story and inspire others. Or create something out of your suffering to help others. I can't imagine what you are going through, brother, Maybe ego death. Consider that you are already dead and live the rest of your life as a bonus. Much love.
  20. I stopped listening to what people have to say (not in fricking arrogant way) but before that, I found my purpose
