Hello @Yannik, You can do some research and see how well established organizations already work. Actualized.org is one business model but there are many others. Check out Adyashanti's work. Also, take a look at Isha Foundation since it's one of the biggest non-profit organizations out there. Keep in mind that the success of your journey is highly dependent on the quality of your message. Isha Foundation wouldn't be that great if Sadhguru weren't such a bright and wise man, highly skilled in communicating his message with simple words. So, I think you can i) work on your message, ii) practice communicating it and iii) get your hands dirty and define a business model. Good luck!

Then I'd recommend that you develop an intimate relationship with your heart beats. Go slowly, reaching new limits and becoming aware of how you feel. Build your ground step-by-step until you're able to appreciate and actually enjoy the feeling of your heart beats. Hatha Yoga is great because it's also a physical exercise and there's a lot of concentration involved... the perfect moment to connect to how the body works. More things could be said on how you think of yourself and the beliefs/concepts that you hold about spirituality, but that's not a priority for now. Feel free to ask further questions if you need.

@Truth Addict I am considering that the OP has gone past beliefs, but not entirely. Thus, he may be confusing direct experience and beliefs.

If direct experience can't be trusted, what can we trust? I think the question you're seeking is "What defines direct experience?".

Very good. You're starting to notice how your way of thinking is influencing your emotions. There is a stage of GOD realization in which we may feel solipsistic. It's an advanced ego trap! Here's some food for thought: what if every person, every being and every atom is the source of Reality itself? Are you able to digest such paradox?

@Vagos When your heart beats fast, do you feel pain or just fear of pain/death?

@Miguel Oliveira First, I want to congratulate you for being able to reach and articulate such a deep level of openness. Well, I can share what I did. I noticed that my sense of unsatisfactory was a cyclic phenomenon and that girls, money and power wouldn't make me ultimately happy I started a long and wide research to see if I could find any exemplary human being who felt truly and stably happy I studied their stories, their ways of thinking and, most importantly, what they did to finally feel visceral happiness towards Life I mimicked their ways, which almost always involved a phase of discipline, dedication and commitment to meditative practices I was able to have several genuine experiences of enlightenment, which were followed by deep insights about Life most of the times My previous sources of happiness were replaced by the a deep feeling of presence and emotional stability I went meta and I was able to understand what happened to me and what it was all about (I found actualized.org at this stage) There have been a lot of events since then, but those 7 stages are enough to illustrate what I want. We need to develop a certain thirst for finding the root causes of our sufferings. If it requires a pivot in our lives, so be it!

Corrective attitude may definitely help, specially if the other person is having a hard time to find inner strength to transform the chaos of their lives in order and discipline. At this stage, paternal figures such as Jordan Peterson and David Goggins will feel welcome because their role is to help people move from mature Red (chaotic/misused energy but willing to change) to Blue and Orange. This is where straightforward teachings like "get your shit together" and "take some responsibility in your life" will make a lot of sense. The problem is that Green and immature Red usually hate that tone and will display a deep aversion towards it.

@EvilAngel Awesome. Sounds like something clicked

@Pateedm I only have experience with Ayahuasca (N,N-DMT) and I take it two (sometimes three) times every month. I'd recommend taking as much time as you find necessary to integrate what you have learned from your experience. Don't forget that it's about improving the quality of your life and, if possible, the life of people around you. Be careful not to get your mental space flooded by concepts in a way that would flurry your ability to focus on what you want to change on yourself. Abstract and conceptual trips have their value, but pragmatic trips - the ones in which you can access out-of-the-box solutions for your life - may be the ones that demand more attention and time for integration. Good luck!

Hello @hyruga Here in Brazil, we have two words to talk about two different levels of learning: "decorar" and "aprender", which can be (kind of) translated as "to memorize" and "to learn". It's easy for us to forget things that we just memorize, but we can't forget what we actually learn. Why is that so? As a weak analogy, the brain is like a highly efficient computer that avoids storing useless information. This is why it feels awkward (and sometimes emotionally difficult) to learn something that we judge as useless. Maybe it is useless at this moment. But you can vision yourself as someone who will have everything that's available for you to learn at your disposal in the future. Or even better... you can be creative and get involved in contexts that will "force" you to use what you have to learn. You will have to work harder but the learning process will feel a lot easier. As a bonus, you won't be just memorizing stuff. Such information may end up in your long-term memory and you will never forget it again. Wrapping it up, the struggle to learn something is highly correlated with your vision and with your learning methodology. Be creative

@Samantha can you be precise in stating what is it that you truly want and how you're planning to achieve it? when it comes down to embracing duality and acting on this world, the less abstraction the better. ideally, you should be able to come up with an action to take as soon as you close this tab of your browser. in other words, you can try to answer the following question: what should you be doing right now that you aren't? if no assertive/clear answer comes to your mind, then a lot of introspection is mandatory (if you don't want to waste time).

@Truth Addict it's not a matter of people believing you. it doesn't make any difference! it's simply a matter of contemplating what you are and having a direct experience of the purest and highest awe for existence.

@Truth Addict this current experience of GOD (ajasatya) hasn't even done 5 years. and yet, it is possible to speak from the Source, as IT desires (unconditionally!)

1) for the most pure and unconditional awe 2) no. every experience of BEING is completely new. it's impossible to reach 100%, 90%, 50%, 10% or even 1%. we're bound to an eternal 0%.

@Truth Addict each manifestation of GOD has its own map, for which there is no territory! all that exists are maps! (this is also a tiny display of the power of GOD) GOD, when conscious of Itself and embodied as a human being, will speak from the perspective of the map perceived by the "individual experience" because that's all that can be said. this is why enlightened beings have particular ways of teaching.

@Leo Gura people think that you're speaking from a logical framework in which falsity exists. they think that you're talking about an idea or a model. no manifestation of GOD can prevent GOD from forgetting what IT is. it's a movement with an inertia that's too powerful.

@AudibleLocket retreat?

who/what was the first human the afterlife of? in other words: who was the past incarnation of the first human being?

something like a person or a dog.

@CreamCat we're certainly living afterlives. and we're also the "beforelives" of... what i'm inviting you to contemplate is: are you the afterlife of an individuality?

nope. words can acquire different meanings from the ones presented in dictionaries. language is not a static phenomenon. the word "bug" is a simple example. when we study something with a specific group, it's very likely that the group will come up with its own set of meanings for certain words. this is exactly what happened to the word "nothingness", which is an attempt to point to the same "thing" as "sunyata", "buddha nature" etc. i don't know whether or not those are of your interest. in any case, i'm not trying to convince you (or anyone else) of anything. arguing is useless... you either have had a mystical experience beyond the mind or you haven't. i'm done here.

why a ghost? why not Life itself?

oops, sorry if i failed, master

there isn't any . i'm using jargons. "nothing" usually means "devoid of anything". "nothingness" usually means "pure consciousness".
