It happens because you haven't developed a clear and mature vision for your life yet. You don't know what you want to offer to the world. If you knew, you'd be hungry and tireless. The drive to constantly satisfy yourself alone is boring. The drive to satisfy yourself by serving the world is unstoppable.

This is the very breach through which devilry arises. Just because something is what "God" wants doesn't mean that it's not a toxic mental pattern. GOD and you are ONE. GOD is not a separated entity that says that everything is okay and that it would be fine if we were killing each other or committing suicide.

You're not questioning what I presented to this discussion. You're bringing up a messy set of unverifiable assumptions that lead to nowhere. And yes, that's theosophy. Trying to use regular logic in an intellectual game, playing with words like "infinity"/"absolute" to come up with whatever you want to "prove".

This discussion is totally irrelevant and the answer is intangible. This forum is not a place for theosophy. Teachings aligned with "accept everything" and its variants have their place. Take some responsibility for what you're saying, "for God's sake". Becoming too attached to non-dual dialects so that you forget the basics of what it means to be alive as a human being is offtrack.

There is no "must".

If someone is considering suicide, that person is not really conscious of GOD. So it wouldn't make any sense to say "Your will is the will of GOD". In fact, it could do much more harm than good. Suicide due to depression or emotional trauma is only considered in extremely low states of consciousness.

@Javfly33 Have you searched for eco-communities? I think that a closer contact with Nature could do a lot to you.

@Harikrishnan You'd need to gather sufficient predictions to group them by probability ranges and anticipation time length ranges so that each group had statistically significant data. You can't infer correlation from unorganized/small groups of data points, let alone causation. If lots of people are "predicting" possibilities for several events, the probability that someone gets it right at some point for some event can be quite high. Raise your bar. Be open minded and skeptical.

In a distant past, astrology and astronomy were an unified field of study. Nowadays, astronomy is about observing/modeling and astrology is about guessing/believing.

@kieranperez "Light on Yoga", written by Iyengar. It's a long and complete book for self-taught Hatha Yoga practitioners.

@Mikael89 The best dream out there. And then another one

@Onecirrus What lies beyond terms and descriptions? If you want to access Truth, let go of the attempt to explain and make sense. But if you don't, it's okay... play with your imagination.

@Mikael89 If you're unable to unify Truth and duality by transforming your life as an individual, then there will be no growth. The ego always try to come out on top, finding all sorts of excuses to avoid purification and goodness. Attachment to non-dual language and the absolute perspective is a famous breach for devilry. It took me a few years to realize this. Purification is emotionally HARDER and it's okay to be afraid. Use all non-dual avoidance you feel like. You're not improving the quality of your life by derailing through "there is no <insert whatever>" statements. Clue: DUALITY is the ultimate miracle.

@Mikael89 Enlightenment is not separate from everyday life. Enlightened human beings are deeply human and highly aligned with goodness. Why would that be? Why is non-violence taught by every master? You don't become immoral by becoming enlightened. Instead, you become aware of the core of what society calls "morality". What we know as "morality" is just a superficial understanding.

@lukej May your inner thirst for goodness heal whatever needs to be healed.

I'm looking forward to getting into cold showers. But I'll have to wait until the end of winter to start.

Like an orgasm? Tasting food? Smelling flowers? Touching water? Listening to music?

Whoa, that was unexpected @SFRL What is a mystical experience?

@noip I think that you worry too much about what others think of you.

People come here to find sources of helpful advice. This forum has a goal and if you're the one worrying too much about what others think of you, that's your responsibility. This thread is being locked due to lack of usefulness and poor attitude.

@sargam Women tend to grow faster than men for 2 reasons, I believe: Periods. Female periods usually lead to physical pain and moments of introspection and they start around 13~15, which is quite early if compared to the ages at which men become more self-aware. Fertility deadline. There is a stronger visceral impulse on women to find the right father for their children. Men can kind of wander around and have a messier life for a longer period of time. So that's how it works, according to my observations. You'd need to face it and accept it. Yes, conscious and responsible men are rarer. Make use of this piece of information and avoid distracted men. A tip from a man married to a happy woman: pick one that enjoys silence, making eye contact, listening and working hard. The motivation to work hard is a good signal because it lies upon a thick layer of foundations that cover many areas of the self-actualization work.

@EvilAngel Go for it.

@electroBeam Have you researched the different kinds of schools that are arising? Just to name a few methodologies that I know of, search for Waldorf and Montessori. See what it takes to be part of their movement. Maybe you can plan your way to be able to collaborate?

Yes. I heard that I should let go. So I did. Wise choice. I'm passing on advice that was useful to me.

@electroBeam How would you like to see the world?
