Watching or playing football is just more of consciousness itself?

@John Lula yes because that’s all nonsense and mental masterbation on what enlightenment is lol

I was going to make a post about how he tried calling Leo out lol I talked to him on Instagram and he said the same nonsense

San Francisco, CA Mix of very heavy Orange and very heavy Green. Usually just very Orange in their metaphysics and rationalist way of seeing the world but also can be very Green at the same time. Most people who think of SF as this hippie kingdom, that has been going away as SF is growing more and more each month and year as the tech bubble that it is.

IMPORTANT: This passive income business I plan on starting is purely and only a short-term strategic move I'm making to position myself to move out from home, get out of the toxic environment I'm in, fund the massive self-education I need (wasn't able to finish college after freshman year due to mental health issues), have the money to make certain moves I (may) need to make, and go in on mastering the things I need to master in order to move towards my life purpose (I don't have the skills, insights, knowledge, mastery, etc. to start yet) while still being able to have the freedom I need. This is purely a stepping stone to "the one." With that said, here are my questions: What expectations should I have going into this? I have 0 business/entrepreneurial experience. What are all the different forms of passive income? "Shippable" tangible products or online services? Is it best to calculate my goals, expenses, etc. to get a target income and then base my business model/plan/idea on that? (Hope that makes sense... if not, don't hesitate to have me clarify) Do all passive income businesses require capital to start? I don't get paid much ($250-$350 p/biweekly paycheck... gotta love retail) now so this is important for me as I don't have the luxury to pay for these $1000+ courses and stuff. What are some good examples of goals to have when first starting this type of business? What are some examples of realistic goals with passive income businesses starting out? What is your best advice for a first time entrepreneur? Thanks guys! P.S. Yes, I have seen @Leo Gura's video on "The Truth of Passive Income"

I was hoping you’d see this hahaha Sounds good

Get it man.

If you have Leo’s booklist, go under the consciousness/enlightenment section and keyword search the word “Om”... read that book. A great story but also great insights about a monk who gave up materialism to pursue full enlightenment in a cave and then used that to really serve people as part of his own life purpose. Not just coming back and teaching meditation classs to people who aren’t truly open to the profound d truths of reality and are really just there to release stress after a long day of chimpery.

I suggest the Life Purpose Course simply because it'll give you that sense of certainty of 'this is what I want my life to be about' (not speaking in the absolute, as there is no ultimate purpose or meaning in anything in life). I'm not suggesting go take the life purpose course and then go all in on that right now necessarily. Believe me, I know how it is for you right now because I'm 23 years old living in San Francisco (the most expensive place to live and rent in the USA right now), am working part-time at retail job I fucking hate and don't make enough money to even move out or pay any of my bills. I literally have mental breakdowns most days to be honest because I know how it is to be doing work that when you're in the midst of doing it you're conscious enough to realize that it feels like you're pissing your life away doing something you hate. So I get you. What you have to understand though is that you can't usually just jump into a job you're passionate about, especially when you're not able to pay for yourself as it is. I know, it fucking sucks. However, this is also where 1. strategic thinking comes in, and 2. life purpose comes in. For me, I can't go straight into my life purpose right now. To do the things I want to do and live the life I want and make the impact I want to make on the world I need to do a lot of self-education, meditation/enlightenment work, get better with people, free myself from where I live and finally be my own man, etc. So what I may have to do I'm realizing now is go all in on a "passive income business" (in quotes because I know it's not as passive as is always imagined) and once I start earning enough I can move out, have the freedom I desperately need and want to live my life, work on myself, build my skills, and then transition out of this business that I know I probably won't be that passionate about at all and then move onto "the one". Life purpose helps because it gives you that clarity of what it is you want and then making that your ultimate strategic intent that you're working towards.

Take the Life Purpose Course,

Disclaimer: I'm not making claims that Charles Manson is enlightened. Just to get that out there to start... I also want to preface I don't know really much about Charles Manson. I did find this quote interesting though because I think it's a perfect illustration on zen devilry.

Yeah that’s more my point. From an absolute sense, the quote is accurate. What im saying is how a person (enlightened or not) can use that as an excuse to harm others and just rationalize all that away. This was the video I got this quote from by the way

Okay so I’m sitting here at a park bench staring at a tree while doing Life Purpose Course work. It’s really nice out right now and was just looking around and then had a realization (despite hearing from Leo about this multiple times) when I was turning my head and as new phenomenon came into my awareness that I’m literally creating all of it. Its as though a work of art is being made and I’m both the artist and the canvas while witnessing it as it occurs. Then I fucking realized, still staring at the tree that this is still all sensory phenomenon and that for there to be even be this phenomenon there has to be awareness and without awareness this tree can’t exist. Still though, that’s just awareness! It’s just awareness! There is no so such thing as a fucking tree LOL. It’s a concept. A helpful one. A concept nonetheless though. I’m creating this phone that’s typing these words in yet I’m witnessing this phone LOLOL This wasn’t some mystical experience and the duality has kicked back in. I noticed also that what enabled the duality to kick back in was the materialist paradigm trying to grapple down on this. Not depressed at all though. What doesn’t make sense to me though is that I had this realization but I haven’t been strict on my meditation in awhile up until a couple days ago where I just got back on my 30 minute routine... Overall this was nuts lol

@Leo Gura here’s a good joke for you: boy wakes up in the morning and asks mother shiva what’s for breakfast. Shiva says, “strange loops!”

I don’t know how to answer this lol There is no mechanical process to this lol I explained what happened.

If you want real growth, face your childhood pain. Don't underestimate how hard this is but also how needed this is. I'm going to be 23 years old on May 10 coming up. I've always been extremely sentimental and letting go of things has always made me the most emotionally unstable. I've been sleeping with the equivalent of a baby blanket that I've had since close to birth virtually every single day. Given that it's less than 2 days before my birthday and I've been having a shitty day today and also last several years, I took some brief time just to reflect not even 2 hours ago. I was sitting on my bedside and looked at my "baby blankets" and realized that I have to end this and let go. I immediately blew up in tears. I knew I had to let this out of my system so I continued crying but also in the back of my mind wondering why I'm this sentimental... Then I remembered back to when I was just 5 years old. When the movie Toy Story 2 was in theaters I saw most days it was in theaters with my mom. In that movie there was 1 2 minute scene that made me cry more than I have in any other movie to this day (scene is linked below). Once I remembered this scene I watched the video on YouTube to relive it and it all made sense. I cried harder than I ever have in my life, pumping out close to 2 decades worth of emotion. It feels like I'm committing abandonment. Not just on the baby blanket but with everything that I'm sentimental towards, e.g. my childhood past, my old childhood self-image, prior relationships, etc. I then went to put my baby blanket in a box and tucked away with other storage and kept letting the intensity flow and work itself out of my system. If you have shit you're hiding, are attached to, have trauma you're clinging to, etc. let it go. It is something that's going to be extremely painful. I know for me personally I'm going to need to work on this over time despite having gotten a lot of emotional baggage out of my system. If you're doing enlightenment work or anything along those lines, don't approach this like you would in that sort of work. For me, I couldn't look at this "objectively" and how I was just distorting reality and how this baby blanket wasn't some living being with a personality I was abandoning and hurting and all that. Console yourself. I hope this helps in some way to any of you. Didn't want to let this insight just be for me.

@Leo Gura that video just showed me just how much I'm still in stage orange. Did you guys see that? That was nuts... I definitely saw reactions within myself as well as judging. That's trippy.

Pure Orange

I've touched on this before but I'm truly struggling mentally and emotionally with how the hell I'm going to move out from home right now. Right now I'm 23 and wasn't able to go to college after my first 2 semester in junior college due to mental health reasons and now I don't have a college degree nor any real skills right now to get even a decent paying job outside of retail (which is where I'm working right now and only being given part-time). I've been "working towards a real estate license" for the last 3 years now (quotes because I'm so off and on working on getting my real estate license) and it's taken this long because I absolutely fucking hate it. More than that, the only reason I got into it initially 3+ years ago was because my initial plan was to just work for my dad. Problem is, our relationship between him and I is so toxic that I can't bear the idea of working for him. I'm belittled and made stupid and everyday and am told I'm some outcast waste product whose a leaching scumbag because I'm struggling right now in life. He's told me "you won't be moving out for at least 5 years that's how low you are in your competency and your ability to hunt. And you know what? I'm not funding you. You're a bad investment." Everyday I'm lying to myself about how I have to do this short term so I can just move out and then transition but this is just so unhealthy. I'm criticized and belittled on everything I say and do. When I need to step away after he and I have a fight, I get texts from him saying I'm just like my mom who has disassociative identity disorder and how I'm crazy just like her (they're divorced now). I'm moralized to because because of my anger (which I feel because I'm mad at myself for ever letting my life get to this point) and called an angry person every single day. I struggle socially and don't have people to hang with usually (because I'm ashamed to tell people I'm 23 living with my dad and have to sleep in the same bed as him all while only being able to get work in retail) and am told everyday that I don't have friends because I'm an asshole. I literally have meltdowns every single day and can't enjoy doing anything in my life at this point. My passions are just swallowed up by the dread of coming home and the shame and confusion of where I am in life and having no idea of how I'm going to get out anytime soon. I have no place to meditate and when I do meditate I'm told I'm just deluded. I feel like I'm going to lose myself and go crazy or even get suicidal again if this continues to stay this way here. I was 5150'd last August and when my Dad found out when I got home I was just ridiculed for being an attention whore and called crazy. I've gotten a lot better but this is just getting too much. I have my Life Purpose and I know I can succeed in it long term but 1. I can't work on it here because I'm yelled everyday about it, 2. this is a long term thing I that will take time to earn money in and succeed in and at this point mentally emotionally, I need to get out of where I am before then. I don't have several more years to be here in this house. What makes this even harder is that I'm also living in San Francisco which is the most expensive place to rent in the US (not to mention virtually impossible to find places to rent, much less for a decent budget). I really don't know what to do at this point. I'm not looking for some "just breathe" replies or some stuff on enlightenment right now or how all of this is illusory. Much appreciated..

Thanks. Yeah I just think that’s a bit of an extreme measure in terms of the homeless shelter thing. I have just a few hundred dollars in savings. I have nowhere I can move.

Good on you cause I’m reporting you. Back at you regarding your issues

Glorify your ego elsewhere dude. Deceive yourself on another thread.

Big talk from the guy that posts garbage rap on SoundCloud that gets no views, spends all his time on the forum talking smack about all your “attainments” (anyone can claim anything) and glorified overrated shallow rappers like Kanye. If you want to troll me, hmu on my inbox. Don’t need your nonsense on a post where I could use some help.

Reshaping the running world in through coaching from intermediate-sub elite - top level runners from 800 meters on the track to cross country, to road racing, to 100+ mile distances in short (don’t have the statement down). I have a lot of connections and stuff (I know a 2012 Olympic silver medalist in the 800m and a lot of pros) but I have no coaching background to actually get people to work with and what not. Coaching elite athletes really is just one of those things you either gotta work up the ranks from like high-college etc or try and survive by getting someone to read your blog just so you look like you know what you’re talking about (happens from time to time but pretty rare).
