sometimes you have to do the crap in order to make time for the things you love try and make a life where you do the things you enjoy more often

I haven't had very long term pain but just short bursts of intense pain. Resisting to it just makes it worse , accepting and surrendering it in the present moment makes it much better. Read or listen to the power of now: You would think that escaping the pain is the way to go but i found going INTO the pain actually reduces it more

The whole video is great But from 16 Mins Answers your question (about the movie Half way through) https://youtu.be/ekZYtfXq38s?t=954

watch as many of these Left eye videos as you can: https://www.youtube.com/c/offTheLeftEye/videos He compiles the works of:

It depends on the company but in my experience they definitely are but you need to ASK for what you want and explain how it will benifit all

watch this 3 times and REALLY LISTEN to Ram Dass https://youtu.be/F-_A_CUwiVk

So I just had a MIND BLOWING AMAZING Mushroom Trip, I realized that I was God all along , I am literally love itself, as Alan Watts said, I am it, and for the first time ever, I felt it. I felt like I know the secret: Love. It was love all along <3 As amazing as this felt , I felt the best I have ever felt in my entire life. However, now I don't how to word this: Do other people exist ? What are my family ? Are they beings equivalent to me ? Are they me? Are we all souls walking each other home on this plane called Life / Lila ? I love everyone, But what is behind other people ? Is there a paradox that I am missing ? When I have fun with friends or a loving meal with my family, is there anyone loving it with me ? Is this the cost of enlightenment? , Is it right that God would feel lonely on Earth ? If I die , do my family still live on Earth ? Is there beings that still go on this Journey after me ? Is reincarnation real? I would LOVE ADVICE , Thanks so much

@Mason Riggle That's amazing , thank you so much. Sometimes I think I shoot too high , then I get into a dark night and need to ground myself. Thanks again

Hi , I just had a very similar realization to what you had. However , I'm having a hard time integrating weather or not other people are real. I seen myself as love and I know everything is love. What are other people? , at one level they are me (love) I just don't get it. I love my family so much but I don't know how to proceed now, And advice would be massively appreciated

Work hard , THEN , Relax and enjoy your shows, You deserve it and it will recharge your brain, Just earn it first and there should be no guilt We came here to have fun aswell , ENJOY IT

Do you have any examples / names of people that say it's worth it ? Awesome post by the way , thanks

There are 2 phrases, I know you heard this one before: Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water I can't find the exact time stamp but Shinzen Young sums it up the best way I ever heard: After enlightenment: Live to serve in love. (But also Live to serve in love right now <3 ) (TLDR: DO BOTH ) 2 Must watch Videos https://youtu.be/ptkH0uK1uXM +

Watch this , I think it's REALLY applicable

best video I ever seen on this topic:

self love == self discipline

Hi, What is your opinion on the relationship between Enlightenment and Personal Development ? When it comes to getting on my purpose and working on my mission I get a feeling of apathy: "What is the point, does it even matter what I do ? " I feel intuitively that this is not the best way of thinking about it but I can't help it. It feels awful being a loser not on their purpose but I really struggle with existential motivation. Any words of help or reframes would be massively appreciated, Thanks very much.

For men: way of the superior man david deida /Thread Edit: This is genuinely one of the best books ever made , I can't recommend this any higher

first off, starting a new job ALWAYS is exhausting the first few weeks untill you get used of it, To settle the monkey mind, either listen to something like this: or silently chant - This is Krishna Dass who is amazing , also look up Neem Karoli Baba Also sleep and meal prepping will help your energy BIG TIME

Just Do it ... Stop overthinking it. Enjoy yourself

I would go for it , life is about having fun as well , you can personally develop simultaneously

I have had some amazing awakenings to love, However I still feel like I am interrupting something wrong. Intuitively I believe I should do my part in making the world a better place. I should be nice to people and work on my life purpose. But I have this darkness that says there is no point if this is illusory. Then I have a counter point: Like Neem Karoli Baba says " All One" , possibly meaning that God Consciousness / Love, and life are all one thing. Should I do good for my Karma / make the world better for others and reincarnations. What is the point in being good in life? It feels bad to dis engage and fuck off in life. But I have a hard time engaging when I can't see the reason to do good. Should I just do it for goodness' sake itself? Are people even real? I got glimpses that we are all one. Are other people as real as me and why should I try to help and improve peoples lives.? (Please note I currently do do this, I'm just feeling a bit stuck right now. ) Thanks very much, TLDR: Why bother loving and engaging in life ?

@Ry4n What is the greater goal ? If this is illusion then is there a point to doing good ?

How much caffeine are you having during the day? Get 30 mins extra sleep a night. The difference between 8 hours and 8.5 is MASSIVE for me. Take 10 minute brisk walking breaks A LOT.
