Great work right there. That's how deep you gotta dig.
We very easily forget stuff like that once we're older. Much of this LP discovery process is getting back in touch with those kinds of long-suppressed, long-ignored passions.

The question isn’t does it work, it’s can you realize it’s been working all along.

Hey,
I'm wondering how to decide on a career. I've been thinking a lot about what job i would like to do, but i feel like i can't decide on which one to pursue. For a long time i've been having a dilemma between two options, and i just can't decide on it.
A year ago i almost applied to become a police officer, but didn't go through with it, because i've read somewhere that you won't make a chance if you got into contact with any drugs in your past. Since that time, i didn't really care much more about becoming a police officer, but it kind of left a feeling on me. I think i would make a good officer, and it's kind of lame that i can't apply because i've experimented with some drugs in the past, which is like 6 years ago. I'm not sure if the law in America is the same, but at least in Belgium they are very strict. Anyways, i left it at that, and started to get into self development, which got me into Psychology. 
I became very interested in Psychology, and started reading a lot of books and stuff about it. After 2 years of reading and learning, i got the idea of studying Psychology in university, to become a psychotherapist later on. I went to some information day, and i feel like Psychology resonates a lot with me, but i'm still not sure.
There is still a doubt, which i can't really pinpoint. I forgot about becoming a police officer all together, but it all of a sudden came back a week ago. I don't know what it is, but something keeps dragging me into it. I don't know how to choose. I want them both.
 

Are you actually detached from those desires? That's quite a crucial part. You do not seem to be, as not achieving what you want seems more like your "vibratory state". Without being detached of the outcome you have a fear based underlying mechanism working through you. 
And if you want that million dollar: besides BEING that millionair, you could ask yourself questions what would I as a millionair do in this or that situation? How would a millionair like me react? 

Enlightenment
Did you notice the word light in the word enlightenment? The word enlightenment is simply pointing to the light that is already inside you. We are a self-aware energy field of consciousness.
 
How to become an enlightened master
 
I have written about how I've became enlightened in the past, but reflecting back on it I know that I could write a better guide. So I will write a better guide now. As time passes I will be able to write better guides, this is guide #2. You can find my first guide here:
Also I have integrated deeper states in the last 6 months, and much more to come because I have a lot of time to focus on it. Back in July I had an impulse to write that guide without putting much thought in it, prior to that I didn't even know I could write such a long post in the english language, that was my longest post I have written in english. Since realizing I could write such long posts I have spend more time on this forum writing to become better at my english and in the next few months I will start writing posts on my website and maybe do youtube videos, I am 22 and I  am excited to create a lot of content.
I have brainstormed more then 30 topics for  this guide but there is so much to talk about that it's impossible to put it all in a short post so I will condense it and I hope this will be only the starting point of your investigation and experimentation. I would like to mention a lot of examples but there is just too much to cover, so if you have a question post it below. Also learn to do a google and youtube search and you will find everything that you need, don't be lazy. Just listen to the ideas presented from the higher self and investigate further.
 
If you are thinking "Why would I  listen to this random guy?", I will point out a few reasons:
I have became enlightened 4 years ago, meaning I have attained a permanent state of disidentification that doesn't go away whatever I do, it's there. attained a state with 99,9% pure mind with no thoughts(mental sounds) trough the whole day had a lot of paranormal experiences when fully sober (sensing energy fields of people, seeing peoples auras, knowing what others are thinking, seeing a ghost, sensing disembodied beings, seeing angels materializing in a form of light orbs more then 1000 times, remote viewing places that I don't even think are to be considered places (more like hyper dimensional meeting platforms, hard to put into words. A lot of different species of beings were present, it was more lucid then this 3D matrix).... established telephatic contact with extraterrestrials more then 100 times resulting in their materialization in the sky ( I plan to film it in the future, but need more preparation meanwhile If you want to see a footage of how contact looks I can send you a video, just message me) .... more but I hope that's enough. so I think I am qualified to speak on the topic of enlightenment.  Only those who are enlightened can truly speak about enlightenment. Let's start.
 
Enlightenment is not a final destination. There is no start and no finish. Enlightenment is a journey, it never ends. A never ending fractal. That's probably why very few people mention that they're enlightened, because they know, they are still on the journey of enlightenment and haven't finished it yet (a lot of them never realize that the journey will never be finished). So let go of the assumption that you need to finish this journey.
 
Wrong question: How do I attain enlightenment?
Right question: What is the journey of enlightenment?
 
The journey of enlightenment is a journey of coming back to oneness. Oneness is pure bliss. A journey of remembering and aligning to your True Self. It's all about alignment with your True Self. 
 
All is here and now, all is obvious, but when you  are too identified with the mental dimension of thoughts you separate yourself from the experience that is happening here and now.
 
 Content of thoughts is exists  in time and that is an illusion, because experience can happen only in the now moment, content of thoughts is not an experience, it's a story about something that's happening always in the now.
 
 Time is a byproduct of consciousness reflecting back on it's own existence. http://iamniverse.com/timeexperience.html (read all the articles on this site)
 
 There is only a sequence of now moments. Think of it like in a film, there is no actual motion in the film, there is only a certain number of frames per second, and that creates the illusion of motion.
 
   Experience is what's true for you. Experience is always happening right here, right now. The experience of life is the experience of consciousness. The only thing you need is direct experience of what's already happening. 
 
When You are able to unite with the experience that is happening now, then You can redefine it and create a new experience of what's happening.
 
There is no reality outside your definitions. Your definitions create your reality.
 
Everything exists but you experience only what is relevant to your state of consciousness. 
 
Everything vibrates. Thoughts have a vibrational frequency associated to them.  These vibrations are stored in the vacuum. You are like the radio that is receiving the music from the station. You need to adjust the frequency that you are emmiting for the reality you wish to experience to come to you. Simple as that. »If you want to know the secrets of the universe think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration ~Nikola Tesla«
When you understand that everythng vibrates, dimensions of existence start to make sense. The higher the frequency the more complex the patterns.
 
You can't understand higher dimensions with the lower dimensional understanding. For example. D=dimension. 3D(width, length, height) body is understood better only on the mental dimension (4D). 5D understands 4D. And 6D understands 5D. 5D is infinity. 6D is infinity inside infinity. Infinity is the infinite possible versions of spaceline and timelines that are always happening now. When identified with the mental dimension past and future make sense, but in 5D it doesn't make sense because everything is happening now, you are just shifting a billions of times per second trough parallel realities. Past and future is happening now.
You are a multidimensional being. 
3D - physical body - space
4D- everything that you believe yourself to be, paradigms, thoughts, definitions...mental dimension - past and future-time
5D- being, soul, True Self, consciousness - here and now
 
Whatever you give meaning to, is true for you
 
 
Positive feelings have a higher vibrational frequency than negative feelings. Raise your vibrational frequency. Google masaro emoto water experiment and rice experiment. 
 
Positive feelings are communications from your Higher Self that you are in alignment with your True Self. Negative feelings are communications from your Higher Self that you are out of alignment with your True Self. 
Yes, I am talking about different aspects of self. Check this thread:
Everything is serving you perfectly, everytime, all the time, the devine orchestrating mechanism is the same for all, you just need to get in tune with it. It's perfect.
 
Become conscious of your definitions and re-define them to bring you into higher vibrational alignment with your True Self. Ask yourself, how does it feel like to have that definition or belief. Ask yourself, how does this serve you (everything is serving you somehow, just become conscious of how it's serving you).  
 
Put every discovered belief into writing. If you discover something about yourself and don't put it into writing, it is still stored in the ungrounded mental dimension and so you'll keep repeating the same old story in an endless loop. When you put it into writing, you ground these mental patterns and can analyze them more clearly, this is important.
 
 Discard limiting beliefs and definitions that do not serve you  and replace them with empowering and integrated definitions. Practice detachment to let go, shift and transform limiting definitions. 
 
The old paradigm motto is let go, the new paradigm motto is there is nothing to hold on to. Letting go is a byproduct of the realization that there is nothing to hold on to. 
 
 Feel to think, don't think to feel. This is a radical paradigm shift. Adopt the feeling paradigm and leave the thinking paradigm. 
 
Once you discover the beliefs and definitions that are out of alignment with your True Self, re-define them in a way that it feels better in the body. 
 
Then you have to reinforce that state of being multiple times, this is necessary for integrating it. Why? Because that is a test if you really changed, that is a necessary part of the transfiguration process. Any doubt that you have not changed will reinforce the previous aspect of yourself. The previous version of yourself will manifest multiple times, you need to stay self-aware to re-define the reflection. When the old version of yourself manifests act arational (leo has a video explaining post rationalism). 
 
Don't try to change, know you have changed and reality will reflect that back to you. Remember outside is only a reflection of the inside. Physical reality is a mirror. You have to change first for physical reality to reflect that change. Everything is happening inside You and you are inside it, just like in a dream. Be aware of what's happening inside You and be conscious of the reality that is you. Be conscious of the truth that is you and be self-aware to change it.
 
Necessary qualities to make the shift:
 
Desire(willingness, openness, passion) to be the most you that you can be.  Dedication (determination, conviction) to be the most you that you can be. Definition (beliefs that do not serve you) of limitation replaced with empowering integrated definitions. Detachment (to let go, shift, transform) from limiting definitions and beliefs.   
An easy way to remember the four D’s is to memorize this mantra, “I’m desirous and dedicated to detach from definitions that do not serve me.”
 
 
There are two worlds. One is the world of becoming and the other is the world that is. A subject and an object. The subject deals with the object.  Identification with the subject distorts the true perception that you are everything. The subject needs to unite with the object. The subject needs to transcend itself, transcend it's current version of itself. The subject doesn't need to annahilate itself it needs to be surrendered to a greater Truth. This is a never ending process. Transcend... include...transcend... include...transcend...include. 
 
The subject collects data from the universe. Un-I-verse. The subject picks up vibrations  that are in the universe with the sense organs of the body by seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and tasting. There are also higher senses, like the sixth sense, which is related to intuition in mental visions. You need to decalcify the pineal gland to use the sixth sense to it's fullest potential. Do a google search, there is an entire website related to this topic. Quick tip: don't use toothpaste with sodium fluoride and install a water filter, because sodium fluoride is also in the water. (another way society keeps you in lower consciousness is by using sodium fluoride to calcify your pineal gland which produced DMT. The pineal gland is called the third eye. This third eye was mentioned in a lot of ancient scripture, even in the bible lol.). Apart from the sixth sense there are others, but they are not that important right now.
The subject needs to transend the rhythm of it's own self-created sense world by aligning itself to the rhythm that is not accesible to normal man. This is done by concetration. You need to close the gates of the sense world first by hypnotizing yourself, by fixing the eyes on a near object and maintaining the concetration for a period of time. Leo has a video about concetration. You can feel when the gates of the sense world will close. The time you need to stay concentrated on an object depends on your ability to stay in the present moment. The more you're able to be in the present moment the faster the gates will close.
Being in the present moment means being able to detach from the though stream by observing it a non-judgemental way or being able to shut down the thought stream by connecting the the breathing mechanism. By connecting to the breathing mechanism I mean being aware of it, watching it, or by manipulating its rhythm. At first you'll have to manipulate your breathing mechanism by slowing it down, but after a while of practicing you'll be able to be aware (watch) of the breathing without manipulating it. When you are fully aware of the breathing mechanism or when you're manipulating it by slowing it down, you can't think thoughts at the same time. It's impossible.  
 
Being is not passive, being is dynamic. Stop thinking of being like it is just passive observation of the present moment. Being is much more then passive observation. Love is not passive and being is made out of love.
 
You can fall into the trap of passive observation if you're doing mindfulness meditation for a lot of time. This is called the observer ego trap and you can stay stuck in it forever. I have made a post about it here:
You have to be neutral in all situations. Neutral doesn't mean indifference. Neutral means having the freedom to choose because you are not attached to positive and negative.
 
There are forces of attraction and repulsion in the universe. You always attract what you perceive to be enjoyable and repel what you perceive as painful. Be wary of this: something can be painful in actuality but you can have a belief that it is pleasurable and so you keep manifesting it again and again, in an infinite loop. So align your definitions to what actually is now.
 
You are not going anywhere with this transcening, you are coming back home, into the body. The body is like a temple for the soul(being-beings=). The less resistance there is in the body, the more conductive you become for the integration of your True Self.
 
Discover your core frequency by discovering your authentic self. Read this article and also find your mode of operation, goal, attitude and character flaws. (everything is on the site below, find it in the right side bar) Also find your enneagram type and your path of growth and stress. Then be in alignment with that personality.

Use contemplation to change your perception.
I have made a few playlists a few years ago that will help you in meditation, so check these out. I have used all of these to meditate.
Meditate a few days per week using theta/alfa brain waves . (you can find a lot of these meditations online. You need to use a good pair of headphones) Here's one:
Here is a playlist with brainwaves:
Brain wave playlist
Also listen to and meditate with solfeggio frequencies (you don't need headphones with these). I have created a playlist with a lot of material and you can find it here: 
Solfeggio frequencies and other types of frequencies playlist
Here is a playlist with meditation music you can use to meditate:
Meditation playlist
Also I have some private playlists with extremely powerful activations, if you are serious send me a private message.
You are made in the imagination of your True Self. You imagine yourself into existence. Everything was imagined prior to it's existence. You imagine beliefs, beliefs form, and beliefs then materialize so that you can see it. You are a belief and you are the one that is imagining it. I-magi-nation. You need to believe it to see it and not see it to believe it. Believeing is seing and not the other way around. This is a radical paradigm shift. See the way you want to see. 
 
We are devine light beings. Google: aura, kirlian photography.
DNA emits light. (demonstrated in the 1950) We can change DNA via words and thoughts. DNA is the blueprint for the physical organism.
 
Light technology from Arcturus RA helped me a lot. I recommend this to people that  are more experienced with meditation to bring their meditation skills to another level (and much more). If you still need a lot of purging to do, then do it first. 
Random:
Awareness is aware of consciousness inside it. Witness to consciousness = awareness of consciousness. The mind is inside consciousness, so consciousness is conscious of the mind inside it.

I have not finished it yet. Currently listening to the audio version of it that is on youtube. I have listened to the first 3 parts more then 20 times, it's so good... my new favorite book.
 
 
How can you know that you are becoming more enlightened?
Breathing mechanism is slower then in the past. The more higher consciousness you embody the more the breathing mechanism will slow down. After a while it will fell like you need very little air to function. The breathing will be very very slow automatically.  You are experiencing more positive feelings, more love and more compassion towards all beings. More piece in amidst all circumstances.  You are able to better discern what You truly are from who you are. (there is a what and there is who, you are both, but the what version of yourself is eternal the who version of you is not, it's constantly changing, one is, and one is becoming)  Less monkey mind. Your mind can stay focused in the present moment.  Accelerated space-time because you are not creating time by immersing yourself in the thought streams by identification. Time is an illusion created by thoughts and less thoughts you have, the less time you experience.  
 

@Nahm They have decided to experience limitation. They always have a choice but when someone chooses to experience this degree of limitation it happens unconsciously and that is the problem. They just don't know their true  creative power and so they are victims. Victim mindset is based on separation. 
Realization gives you the power to move from one side to the other, but when identified with one side, one is attached to it.
They are ONE CHOICE away from living a better life. 
When one is fully conscious, there are no more excuses left. But when one is unconscious, there are plenty of excuses.
You and them are connected and one, but that does not mean you are the same as them. You are unique, and  so are they. 
Your subjective perception that You choose to experience makes you unique. 

@hinawashi they likely have guilt or shame, which leads them feeling helpless. Guilt triggers motivation to correct or amend something we did. Shame is not saying “I did something shitty”, it’s the inner dialogue that “I am a shitty person”. Shame is the worst, it’s just horrible.  Use a story from your past. Like “Yeah, it is hard af sometimes, but I recently learned we’re all somewhere in a process of growth. When I first learned that, I started to feel a little more free, a little more like just one step at a time, one day at a time. I used to beat up on myself for ________ but when I realized I was where I was in my process, I was able to take a baby step for myself, and then another, and another...and these days, I’m feelin pretty good about things - feeling like I can do more, which makes me want to take a little better care of myself. 
You’re feeling  high, and they’re feeling low.     If you use low undesirable words like victim mindset, etc, they internalize it and reinforce their shame. If you refer to yourself using words that are accurate of how great you’re feeling, then you won’t connect, they will feel their lowness relative to your highness. 
So use words to downplay your high a little, no self deprecation, just take the edge off it, when referring to your experiences. Use high words when referencing their current experience. 
I find it works well. It’s sneaky, and there’s some NLP at play, but if the goal is to actually connect and help, and you see you’re up against their ego, well, do what works. 
Disclaimer - I suck at this & and am getting better, but I feel I do understand it. 

So I currently work in recruiting for a bit and after this experience I know why I got almost every job I applied for in my life: You can not believe how many crappy applications we get and how people behave (we are a big, well-respected NGO which pays decent salaries and very good benefits). So I thought I list a few things for those people here who aren’t enterpreneurs (yet) or students and actually need to get paid work to support themselves.
Do
Send in complete application. COMPLETE. It’s not so hard! Depending on the mood I’m in, I will write back to you and ask you for what is missing, or your application goes straight to the bin. Send PDFS!!!! If you send me world files, I think I deal with a schoolkid. Double-check your email after you sent it! If you forget to send an attachement, this way you at least realize it yourself and I don’t have to point it out to you. Send us the right motivational letter. If it’s addressed to another person of another company, I won’t be amused. No second chance there. We still want to see a motivational letter. Two lines in an email won’t do. Do write something about the company or organisation that we know bothered with researching who we are. Be upfront about problematic topics: Were you sacked in your last job? Don’t bring a skill we really want? Trying to not mention it or covering it up will not help – because I reealize what you’re doing. It will annoy me. If you, however, are upfront about it, I will consider you anyway, because noone is perfect. Do follow up if you are really interested! If you don’t hear back, follow up. Chances are that you’ll make an impression on whoever takes the phone. If there is a sudden opening (someone drops out or cancels the interview), we might consider to fill the appointment with you. Remember that you applied when I call you. If you don’t, pretend you do and try to get it together after we hung up. DISCUSS things that don’t explain themselves: You claim to work for yourself but you apply for a full-time job? Explain why!! On your CV the last three years don’t show up? Explain why! I don’t hold it against you if you have travelled the world, I just don’t want to have to guess. Do not
Blow-up your CV to make it look more interesting, be it with graphics or text. We want to see how old you are, your employment history and your skills and we want to find this info quickly. Follow up 150 times. Once is plenty. We will get back to you eventually, but we are swamped with work. Cancel the job interview because the cat is sick or your earlobe might be hurting tomorrow. We will not provide another slot for you. Name-drop. It will make me think twice as hard if I consider you. Ghost us. It’s perfectly ok to withdraw from a recruiting process for whatever reasons. Do it upfront and in a timely fashion. Stay away from your mail and phone after you sent out applications. If I’m interested in hiring you, I want to be able to connect with you without having to try 3 times to reach you. Send a selfie you took outside your garage. Call me and curse me if we did not pick you. It will only be confirmation of our choice and your bad manners. Bottom line: If you want the job, you need to invest some energy into the application and the whole process. Do it and do it gracefully. Most people don’t realize that hiring is a process almost noone has time for these days. The managers do it on top of their day-to-day- workload. We have to squeeze in interviews, people will skip lunch to talk to you. Don’t waste anybodys time and you’re good.
