Key Elements

I'm going to show it in my LP. I rather show it. Talking about the whole thing is like spoon feeding someone the answer. It's like applying a set of rules on someone. A person actually have to go out there and research and apply it on himself/herself in a personal manner for it to work out.

@Aakash I'm not saying that I'll never talk about it. I'm planning on talking about it in my life purpose but in tactful ways. There is a difference between planting a seed in someone verses convincing them into accepting it in blind faith. Also, I'm not interested in debating. Life is already full of distractions. Sometimes, I do wonder why is it that profound stuff, such as my life purpose, didn't come sooner? I would've been more successful by now and independent. There were too many distractions and misguidance. I was too immature to take the right decisions for myself, until I started to search within.

@Charlotte you asked good questions. A person can't just take these things on blind faith. One day, when I saw myself not having any embodiment or an external environment, and then everything came together, and then there was this massive transformation into embodiment, guess what, I only believed it was all just a dream. I passed it off as a dream when I woke up. It took a few very profound ah-ha moments to convince me that these things relate to life itself. Someone else cannot come and tell me to do this and do that, try this method and that method for it to happen or convince me. Like I said in my other posts, I'll explain it in my life purpose, how I came to know--my process. A person can't just say it, and the next person believes in it.

Good answer! The other part to it: Think of the most effective way to show it.

Great! I think it's just that one more year of hard work that you need to go through. And then, you'll be more free. Keep exploring with your groups. Keep exploring in general. Most importantly, don't forget to understand what is entrepreneurship. Remember, this section of the forum is entrepreneurship too. Let me tell you that most ppl in the world don't even know what it is. They just skip it and miss the opportunity to really understand it. You can start to try to understand how your interests in physics fits in with entrepreneurship. That is for you to explore. Yes, I started to explore with my work. I started a thread below on it. I don't know if you saw that.

It's only one more year. Go for it! Ask yourself, do you really want to quit and start working now? If so, working as what?

@DrewNows one thing... To sum up why I'm doing my LP with non-duality being said at the top of Maslow's, like I said in this thread, I don't want to look like this 'ghost' ? : There is such thing as "shedding the wrong light" on someone, and ppl are smart enough to make their own conclusions about themselves. (Oh no!) Sometimes on a forum or wherever, the dialogue (or debate) goes back and forth, and back and forth, etc., etc. Someone saying and claiming that they had full awakening, and the other person doubts it and tells the other person that he/she doesn't have full awakening. There's no point in that. It's just a dialogue (or debate). You're not going to learn anything from that. However, if you express it in a product, your full story (in a cunning/tactful way), someone out there who is ready to hear you will hear you and learn something from it. Those who don't understand what you are pointing at will have to live life more to understand.

In order to do what we love to do, we got to get pass this hurdle, which is: Most ppl in their lives (I noticed), don't get pass the 'S.' In fact, they never reach the 'S.' 'B' is where entrepreneurship begins. It's great if you could do this: entrepreneurship + life purpose. Why? Because it gives you freedom to do things like: profession + non-duality. Anyone thinking along these lines?

We still have to live in this world. We're still embodied. Ignoring reason and practical life is blind. Anyway, time for me to go back to work.

There is no such thing as 'outside.' Everything is you. When you travel, do immigration/naturalization, and become native, you're only learning from you.

@DrewNows I'm only saying that I want to be very careful with how I communicate anything. Look at rock stars. Why are they so popular? They know how to communicate and present themselves. Therefore, ppl go to them to unwind and have a good time. They don't create misunderstandings.

Just wanted to add... This dude doesn't know how to be an 'S.' If playing music at the gas station isn't working out, go to a night club. If that doesn't work, be a guitar teacher or drum teacher. Teach ppl how to sing. His parents spoiled him. Reminds me of this movie, School of Rock. He started a music school/class for high school kids and turned it into a rock band.

It has found me, yes. I said it here and there on the forum. But, I've never went into full blown personal details with anyone with it. I probably will in my life purpose if my life purpose reaches 'B.' The process (going from 'S' to 'B') is called 'organic growth' in business terms. Then, I'll be cunning when talking about it--in a product. I'll probably talk about it in 3rd person. Because I'm not interested in putting myself up on a pedestal. I wouldn't want my life purpose to turn into a cult, or maybe ppl will wonder if I'm starting a cult. ? This is all planning and speculation. I have to actually do it. Does it really help in talking about non-duality? The answer is no. The seeker has to actually find you, and the seeker already has to have some experience with the Truth already. And, you have to be an excellent pointer. You can't reveal something to someone if he/she isn't ready to hear it. How will that help? It could work against him/her. If you just went ahead and tell someone something (eg. a tip on non-duality) it might not be even useful for that person. Most of the time it's like this. Life is already a tough love. I would just make it harder for someone else if I pushed the tip onto another person or be assuming about the other person. If I told someone, "I hope you have your awakening soon," and this person already had an awakening, I would be telling that person the wrong wish. Shedding the wrong light.

His work takes us everywhere. Anyway, I'm not thinking of that now. Our children are almost grown, so I have more time to myself. I said it here of what I'm doing. You could follow the links to look at more info if you're curious. I'm a bilingual teacher by profession. I already have a beautiful bilingual website that I've worked on with a graphic artist. However, I need to work on the content more, and then advertise on a decent magazine. After doing that, it may put me in the 'S' because it will turn into a home business if it works. Otherwise, find a job, which is not easy for me to keep if I move again. At least a 'S' business could be with me when I move. I don't have to get uprooted. If I have further questions, I might as well ask ppl in an official networking (startup) group. Unless, you or others have any other tips that will help in the process. Planning and going from 'S' to 'B' is an unfamiliar territory for most ppl. We are all familiar with being 'E.' That's the problem. I will not incorporate any non-duality (from my personal experience) in my life purpose until I'm a stable 'S' and going to 'B.' My life purpose will go according to the Maslow's diagram, with self-transendence being said at the top of the pyramid.

@DrewNows excellent video. The challenge that I have in my life now is holding down a job. It's not because I don't want to work. It's because I move around a lot with my family. So, I had a job I liked, but had to give it up because I had to move. But, it's ok. There's a saying, "Challenges are opportunities." Now, I have a better idea of how to do my 'S.' I've been working on this. Before, I had no clue. Here is an excellent, realistic book with another excellent diagram. That's the entrepreneurship 'B' diagram. Without these two excellent diagrams, I would not have been able to get any ideas on how to approach my 'S.' These diagrams are excellent puzzles. Putting them into practice with your profession/interests/non-duality is a very interesting journey and discovery.

@DrewNows yes, I like the diagram too. It's realistic. The person who is pursuing the dream has to plan how to go through it without depending on anyone. Otherwise, this is the other side of it:

@Aakash yeah ok, all those rankings just make things more complicated. I'm just going to go by my direct experience. That's it. I don't care if others think I'm at the "highest" or not. It doesn't matter. However, maybe someone with similar experiences will share something useful and give me more insights into it. Even that doesn't matter. I'm just going to put it out there. Yes, I do teach languages for my LP. I have to develop that more. But, with any profession you could also incorporate non-duality. That's what I'm going to do.

@Aakash what do you mean by being or not being on the highest level? I think another person can't tell whether or not someone is on the highest level. You don't know another person's direct experience.

@Aakash anyway, all this will be included in my LP from my direct experience. It will not be coming from any authority/books/resources/etc. Maybe I'll try to meet with an enlightened spiritual teacher once I'm completely done with my LP. I don't know whether that's going to happen. I just take it as it is. Or, I could just read some of their work to see what I could get from it.

After your family member(s)/loved one(s) passed away, sometimes they come back to you in some way and send you profound messages. Communication in some way. That's what I mean.

Look at the stage turquoise thread.

Yeah, but still, I'm not going to have it grouped together in my LP. I don't want to do that just for the sake of making it easier. After a person's actual death, how do you know it's all going to be "Riding the Ox Backwards?" (Aka, you are God freefalling back to your ego creating the world/universe=kensho.) Ppl still see their loved ones after they pass off. They do send different messages. What's up with that? That's definitely not "Riding the Ox Backwards."

@Aakash @Shin hey, when Shin posted, he reminds me of that brown bear enlightenment video. I tried to search for it but got busy with something else. It's a hilarious video! Aakash, you asked a good topic question. I want to add that a spiritual teacher should not act like a brown bear. That brown bear kept talking about enlightenment in everything and doesn't address anything else. It's hard to talk to a brown bear. Having said this, you can't talk to a brown bear about anything except enlightenment, and I still wonder about the differences or any paradoxes between the terms: kensho, satori, and nirvana. And, let me tell you, I do feel uncomfortable talking about these things here. I feel uncomfortable addressing this face to face even with a highly enlightened spiritual teacher, unless I address it in my life purpose. If I did address it in my life purpose in a cunning way and then tried to talk about it with an enlightened spiritual teacher, I will feel more comfortable. That could show the teacher that I've done the work than just telling him/her about it. That could show me whether or not the teacher is even interested in me. Oh...here it is: Lol!

You know, I've been on this forum for a long while now, and you've been on this forum for a while now. You kinda know ppl and who's who by now. Ask yourself, where would I post such a video on this forum? Lol. btw, did you start your life purpose? You might as well do something while you're seeking. Learn about entrepreneurship and start at stage orange. And then, while you're taking action on this, do not forget stage green and above. You might as well take action. Talk is cheap. I have to listen to my own advice. This is the strongest advice I could give myself. Talk is limited, even on a forum, esp on a forum. Your own life purpose will give you more freedom to show others what you're doing with your life.

@Aakash Listen carefully to what a spiritual teacher is saying. Sometimes they say things in a way that is "symbolic" or "metaphoric." They will say things like, "Riding the Ox Backwards" and give a very brief description. They will not just come out and tell you (in your face) what they are actually saying. Why? Because if they do, they might be ridiculed or be called names or whatever, something negative. Not just this, ppl in general will not be able to understand it. They can't relate to it because they don't have the experience. True spiritual teachers want ppl to find out for themselves. They want ppl to make their own conclusions, and the right conclusions based on their own experience.
