sitting and doing nothing will do nothing for you. being still, being quiet, and experiencing consciousness will provide for the liberation from the attachment to the identity. This isn't an opinion, it isn't a belief, it isn't someone else's words or works, it comes from living experience, and if consciousness can do this for me, it is there for anyone who will. This is the most honest, direct answer i can give you, but its in your hands to do it or not, if you can, if your programing and belief isn't so strong that you can't hear or have the will to do.

You are struggling with these things because you are functioning as the identity where all these and many more problems await you. The truth of the matter is, in order to overcomes these and other problems that you have coming at you right now is to function as something other than the identity. You will never, ever, solve all your problems that are rooted in your consciousness and those that will continue to be rooted there functioning as the identity. Your only real solution is to become a being of consciousness rather than function as a human identity, whereby consciousness will cleanse itself, then these problems that you have won't be there and you can experience a more liberating way of life. You have two choices, one continue to function as the identity and deal with the problems until consciousness leaves your body, or become a liberated being from the identity and the problems.

your question of rating yourself to know where you are standing, begs another question, in relation to what are you rating yourself? What is the measuring stick that you are using for this evaluation?

welcome to the site Anthony, i would like to ask you a question and make a couple statements, You name you chose to use here could be a good sign, you said you have been fixated on personal development, can you tell me what you mean by that, what does it mean to you. As for your peers who are oblivious of something better in life, consider yourself fortunate that you can see the difference and send them some good thoughts that may one day help them. Having an aspiration of (bringing this actualizations to your local area and the younger crowd), is a great aspiraton to have but wont be an easy task, because most young people are not interested in personal growth they have many other things in life that is more important that they want to do. If you are going to do this you will need a lot of growth yourself before you will be able to help others do the same. Your growth is very important and understanding the realities of life is important. When we attempt to help others if we are mindful we want to do it in a way that will actually help them grow, and not create conflicts and confusion for them. If you are seeking personal growth at the age of 24 you should consider yourself very fortunate. I think you can find a lot of good stuff here to help you grow, watch Leo's vids, and most important of all, in doing this work, do it with integrity, or it will be of little value. good luck and welcome to the site

i really dont think you understand what you have revealed about yourself with these statements.
-
evil is just a thought in your mind, just like being disgusted with society, if you are disgusted with society the problem is in yourself not society.
-
i would like to ask you a question about this statement, you said: Ask and you shall receive ( ask the right questions to your self and you will receive the right answers) Where does all the programing that you have been programed with since the day you were born, and the beliefs that you formed from that programing, and the warped perception of life that you have held because of the programing and belief, play into this statement.

when you have no desires you will no longer be on this earth. Even those who have awakened from the dream and become self realized and are staying here for the purpose of assisting human beings, have to maintain a little desire in order to stay in the physical body,

You will only pursue self realization, when the consciousness that possesses your physical body begins to remember what it has lost by attaching itself to the identity, the body that it created to exist in here during this time. It will not be the identity that makes that decision in this. Your confusion is coming from looking at two different paths that you could take. It doesn't mean that you have a real desire for self realization, you may have just encountered leo's work and it may be causing confusion because something else is important to you right now. You are doing and will do what is important to you. When your consciousness has the urge to awaken from the dream it created, change will take place and if self realization is important at that time, then you will begin to move in another direction. So the only advice i can realistically give you now, is, do what is important to you, and when your consciousness says its time to awaken from this dream your life will begin to change. It will help your life even at an early age, to spend time with and be one with the source of life that created and sustains your physical body, it has been with your body all the way, since the day you drew in your first breath and became a living breathing human being and will stay with you till the last day when you will blow out your last breath as consciousness departs the body, this source of life within and surrounding your physical body is the real you. It can be your teacher and your guide and it will never fail you make it part of what you seek even now, even though itmay not be the most important thing in your life right now.

its not about being convenient, all of it, you , the planet, the universe and your own little world around you is all the work of consciousness and the evolution of consciousness. No one alive on this planet can tell you how long their consciousness has been in existence and where it has been during that time or what it has done in that time. Consciousness is the life force, it is the only creator that ever existed, and in reality when you are one with it, the word consciousness doesnt even exist. It is a term used to attempt to define something that few understand, and fewer still that have the experience of consciousness to the degree that liberates from the fictitious identity of i .
-
you use the label yogi, because that is what you know and have learned from others, and i understand when people are searching for the realities of life and themselves they only have these labels to go by, until a transition from the identity to a being of consciousness occurs, then labels are not necessary to speak to others about personal growth or self realization, i think you missed the whole point of my response to you, try to see it from a higher place than the identity, it is to your own benefit.
-
being a self realized being has nothing to do with yogi's or meditation, the self realized being has dropped those ideas in becoming self realized. The self realized being has no spiritual practices, no rule book, no beliefs, no philosophies, no doctrines, no labels, if these things are present one cannot, is not and will not be self realized as long as they exist, and these things belong to the fictitious identity. This may be a hard realization to grasp, but those who are self realized understand it well.
-
then why the label of yogi, a self realized being wears no labels, the reason i ask is labels, keep you functioning as the identity, identity uses labels associated with many things in the physical world such as religion, newage philosophies and doctrines and practices. What im saying is the liberated consciousness has no labels. it may seem a small thing at this point but it ties in to the identity and functioning of the identity.
-
what is a yogi, and why do you want to be one, why not just become what you really are, why not become self realized, there are a lot of people claiming to be yogi's, when you self realize you will have reached your highest potential in this physical existence, why not seek that?
-
the self is happiness, joy, peace, love, the identity is a fiction, the identity cant experience the reality of those things, it can only do acts that appear as happiness, joy, peace and love whereas the self is that and functions as that.
-
i got to go for a while , its good meeting you and enjoyed the chat, take care
-
that is true, all of it pushed us onward and i think it was mainly for me anyway a huge desire i had within to know more about myself that kept me going through it all
-
and after all the years of searching through all the muck, not even knowing what it was we were seeking, to finally find the real part of ourself and experience it makes it all worthwhile .
-
i had that experience hahahaha
-
i agree
-
and you had to experience it to understand it didnt you
-
yes if the identity get kicked in the groin, the identity will think its real, false belief systems, programing and warped perceptions are what practically all of the people are functioning from on this planet today. you are speaking to me as the identity, i am speaking to you about functioning as a being of consciousness rather than an identity, you are giving me examples that the identity creates and experiences, im talking to you about the real part of you that is not the physical body, these experiences of getting fired, losing money, owning a car, getting kicked in the balls does not happen to the being of consciousness, it only happens to the identity. Based on your last reply i know this sounds confusing to you, most of the people on this planet think that they are the identity (body) but that is not the reality, we are much much more, than a physical body, and that other is what many are seeking to regain and most of them dont even know what it is that they are seeking but they are looking, searching, for answers, that may lead them one day to a much bigger awakening of their true state of being apart from the fictitious identity and this physical.
-
your core being has no beliefs, all belief is of the identity, the best way is to realize that and simply stop believing, just drop it. Belief is never real but the identity thinks it is.

i think you missed the whole point but its ok
