Your ideas of enlightenment are way off. Stop theorising what it will be like to be like to be enlightened and just do the work to try discover what is actually true. You might be right or wrong but these conceptual understanding you have could be holding you back.

I'm also aspiring to be one some day so nice to meet you. The best way is through online methods on forums that are targeted towards that demographic and just simply messaging them. You have no idea how many great friendships you can make by just sending someone a quick message. It can change your life so don't be afraid to make the move

Doesn't mean she necessarily is bad though or isn't enlightened. I have a bad gut feeling about rali from naked reality a lot but I still do take into account some of what he has to say so I see what you mean though.

I know its not Christmas yet but I just wanted to give a message to you guys in case anyone is feeling depressed, down or lonely during this holiday period. *I hope doing a video like this is okay on here since I'm not trying to spam or do dishonest self promotion but just wanting to give you all a message for Christmas and the new year*

So what would be a good way to breakthrough without a meditation or enlightenment retreat? Could meditating for even 2 hours a day help or is even that not enough. Generally I feel i'm improving but haven't had a breakthrough yet but am only doing 1 hour daily.

I totally agree with you and that the problem with it. It is probably the most confused industry in the world as everyone has a different opinion on what the healthy "natural diet" is. For example, you will go to one person and they will say oh no stay away from carbs because they make you fat but the other say that carbs don't make you fat are very important for the body as your brain runs mostly on glucose so eat low fat high carb. The question is who is right? Are they both true in a way or both false? For me personally you have to research into the nutrition and medical industry deeply to find the truth for this rather than blindly following doctors or nutritionists as you don't know what their agenda is. One thing for sure is that our typical western diet is very unhealthy and one of the major causes of hundreds of diseases in our times today. Question the things you have been raised to believe as the shocking thing you might discover is you have been brainwashed (this message isn't to anyone in particular). I think that @Radical Honesty has a good point on focusing on converting with showing you can stop unnecessary suffering and that its not that hard to do if you live in a developing country. I think the thing that will ultimately convert people to this lifestyle is the environmental damage we are causing especially with animal agriculture so either it stops or the human race becomes extinct.

Wow your a very young age to be into self development. I'm curious what lead you on this path. I'm 17 years old myself but didn't know people even younger would be on the forum so I guess I shouldn't make assumptions. One thing that might cheer you up is at least your not 40 and at where you are. You have an advantage of being so aware of how your habits are limiting your growth. Building habits can be a tricky thing if you just won't to change and rely on "will power" to help you all the way on this one. There is a reason you use or take part in these unhealthy habits and it's because you are using them inside as a bandage for a fatal wound. The problem is that if you don't treat it and just cover it up your going to continually bleed until you die. Obviously that is metaphorical but if you don't get deep into the core of why you are using these habits I assure you that suffering will come. Over the years mental issues can arise or just in general a sense lack of satisfaction in life. There are many many different things that might be required to reprogram your mind and body again but I recommend the following: Shadow work (Check out someone like Byron Katie or Teal Swan for more information) Change your diet (plant based) (people underestimate this one) Get Counselling Support (you don't need depression for therapy and if you get over the stigma it can change your life) Support Groups (meet people in similar circumstances) Meditation Retreat (to learn how to Meditate and gain the discipline) Psychedelics (most people would to not try this until your older but they can wake you up and get you motivated again as well as much more profound things) These are just suggestions but what you need is support to help you out in my opinion. No man/woman is an island as they say and if you spend a lot of time in a low concious environment or with low concious friends/family it can take a toll on you over time and make it easy for you to slip up. Message people and make friends who are pursuing the same goals as you such as quitting pornandstarting a meditation routine. It dosent even have to be a physical friendship but online like on this forum. Anyway if you need any more advice or help just message me on this forum and we can chat more. I'm willing to help in anyway I can so don't be afraid to get in touch. I wish you the best

People really love this movie on this forum haha. Maybe I should check it out

Oh right I get you now hahahaha. I see it a lot too so that's why I commented because people get disappointed having super high expectations. Sorry for the misunderstanding

DUDE!!!! Your using looks as an excuse for why you aren't happy in your life. It's totally understandable but you really got to get over this crutch since its a distraction from the real work to accomplish your goals. You need to spend lots of introspection time to really go deep into your subconscious and begin working on improving your self image again first so I'd recommend looking for help as much as you can but I will also say that personally I don't believe you have no chance with any woman in a relationship ever again. What you are doing here is projecting your own judgement, bias's and labels onto the world right now and the problem is now it's limiting you. Another thing is forget chasing validation! A woman or any material thing (people, object, phenomena will never make you content so I'd suggest spending your time on really working on what brings you joy and understanding the nature of reality and yourself more. Companionship is a great thing don't get me wrong but it isn't a necessity for a truly fulfilling life. Be CREATIVE in how you do this and spend time on questioning these desires of yours. They may not be as authentic as you think. The need for a woman to make you happy usually stems from the societal bombardment of the idea of romantic love and that if you don't have it your a loser. But even though I say all this I still don't believe you when you say you couldn't get a woman and there is 0 possibility. Your ego is attached to the physical body and appearance way to much and you need to work on that because until you do then of course your going to think your doomed, ugly and worthless. What you also need is to see other people such as yourself (physical deformities or disabilities) to call bullshit on your claim to open your mind. Sean Stephenson in general will shut you the fuck up with his speeches and make you take action so I recommend searching him out on YouTube also. There are many many many more examples of so called ugly guys/girls doing well in the dating field. So the truth is nomatter what you look like you need to notice how your mind is making excuses to not pursue something you want. Remember that if you want something just reach out and grab it! You can create anything you put your mind to!

Is this 100% accurate? I know cold showers can be great for the immune system and skin but i seriously doubt cold showers make you taller (what benefit does this bring exactly but an ego boost) and cure cancer. I may be wrong though but if you have any evidence for this I'm glad to see this.

You talking about people like Dogen Zenji who brought Chinese Zen Buddhism to Japan?

This is genius!

Really love the American Beauty bag scene and the one from Mr Nobody about choices. They both just bring the feels. The other stuff is great too which I haven't seen before so thanks for the share.

Your stuck in a lot of Western and societal myths about protein, veganism, human biology and meat, fish and dairy. I'm not saying your completely wrong just that you shouldn't suddenly begin dismissing an entire movement as neurotic simply because you do not follow the path yourself. The problem with these nutrition related issues is like almost every other field there is so much opposing contradicting science and information out there so it's hard to find out what really is a healthy way to eat as propaganda is rampant. Just try to keep an open mind though and research into these matters more and look at both sides of the arguement.

This is downright false. Research deeper into topics before making bold claims that are mostly just myths from mainstream society.

It's a long story that involved a lot of family issues & homelessness at one point when I was around 15-16. I'll probably mention it sometime on my YouTube channel. If you want to move out though it's definitely possible for anyone even teenagers although information like this is usually hidden since it's not culturally acceptable for people this young to be independent so most people don't know it's something that can be achieved. First you got to work out the basics of living alone and test if you can manage since it is a lot harder then people think. Once you choose this path almost everything is your responsibility. Not everything if you get help from certain friends, families and agencies but some people aren't as lucky to get that support. Practice this by trying to do everything by yourself without parents help like cleaning, budgeting + finances, work, relationships and everything else. Another big thing about living alone is that it can put you in spaces where you are more prone to look within yourself. This is why most people always live with someone else there entire life (family, girlfriend/boyfriend, friends) because it's a neat distraction from looking withing and facing the uncomfortable feeling of loneliness. This is something I had to face at first and took the time to uncover a lot of root trauma's that was holding me back. Once you know your ready then research deeply into this. Certain flat/housing companies take in young people btw so research. I'll give you some more advice and websites and links that can help you out also so message me when you are.

I am 17 years old and living alone in my flat given the amazing opportunity of time to be able to create any future I want. The problem is I'm not sure if I should stop being involved in education for good here on out and begin pursuing business and self teach instead. I don't want to be a worker but my own boss so I don't see how the education system (university) will help me do that. I'm currently doing short courses here and there but not fully studying. I know this path suits my personality type fully so I'm definitely leaning towards this path and will probably follow it regardless but I'm just wondering if anyone on this forum has advice to give as it could be helpful going forward?

Thank you so much for this report!! 5 meo does wonders & I'm glad you have seen through the illusion. It's very inspiring and becoming more apparent that this non duality is not something to be only half serious about. I will be trying to obtain meo it in the coming months. Keep up with sharing your insights as it is very helpful for us all.

It's both a myth and real at the same time. I think it's a glorified term but there are people who fit the traits of one so if they think that they do then they can use that label. Doesn't mean shit though except to masturbate your ego.

Take the opportunity!! Look you have no idea what could happen and that's the brilliance of taking that step into living a life that's true to you. It's about taking the risks that seem crazy because it could be one of the most important moments of your entire life. Maybe not but even if he's not the guy of your dreams you did one thing that 99% of the population are too afraid to do in going after your desires and experimenting with what works for you. Ultimately you should forget everything. Let go of all the preconceived ideas and beliefs and get in touch with your intuitive drive on what's right and go with it. Feel the fear and do it anyway I will tell you from my personal life that every time I followed what felt right rather than safe that things turned out okay. I let go of my thoughts, took that step and said fuck it. Also I want to mention that you are going through a similar situation as me on my early journey. Meeting my now long distance partner for the first time when people told me it was dangerous was a difficult thing to do. I had to let go of all of these societal fears and silly what if ideas and just do what felt right. I did it and now I realise that what I gained from that was many insights and life lessons including the most beautiful and loving relationships possible and I'm so grateful for that. So spend the time to look inside to differentiate your authentic desires from the ego driven ones and work from there. That is the advice I can give but I have a video where I go deeper into this to help you with your fears

It can but only if you turn spirituality into another ego game. Remember what your meditating for and recognize the traps your mind can make and it will be okay.

I thought 5-Meo-DMT was hard to find until recently but I've found it is obtainable. It's the most expensive substance out of them all probably due to it being rare. Can't you find ways to test the substance to see if it's okay? Also you can find 5-MEO that has been derived from the Bufo alvurius toad which should be a more reliable way to know that it's safe.
