Stop being impatient. This takes years. Stop demanding change.

Commit 100% and don't create excuses. There is no magical formula. If you value it enough, you'll do it.

You project too much

If you couldn't pursue both and had to choose one pursuit over the other, would you rather pursue your Life Purpose and succeed to the degree where it actually changes the world completely or would you pursue Truth?

When you hear people talk about petty problems after you experience ego death

then why ask this question? lol

What do you prefer to concentrate on in your in your concentration practice?

What do you think is your most overlooked episode that people are missing?

Hey guys so I've decided it's time I prepare to move out but to be honest I don't really know the important steps towards moving out for the first time. Let me give some description on myself and situation... 22 Years Old Didn't go to college Currently not working No money saved up Terrible credit (Never owned a credit card but turns out my parents haven't paid hospital bills from my last surgery when I was kid and now I have debt collectors constantly calling me... and whenever I tell my Dad he just tells me to ignore them... even though he mix 6 figures...) Living in one of the most expensive parts of San Francisco Have my Life Purpose Don't know where (I want) to go My Dad won't pay for my health insurance, car insurance, phone bills, or anything unless I move out whenever he thinks I'm ready I don't really know where to start from here because obviously these are some really tough obstacles. Plus I've been complacent and have been completely stuck in living in comfort. I don't know what questions I need to be asking myself and what not. I don't know what is a realistic time frame I need give myself to move out, how much I need to have saved up, if my horrendous credit score will deny me a lot of places to live, etc. Really need some help with this, thanks!

Mindfulness Meditation

Currently having a meltdown in my car. Been working this morning tackling my limiting beliefs and reading my personal development books and stuff and the more I was going with it, the more depressed I was getting. I don’t understand why I have to do all of this work just to like who I am, do the things I want to pursue, live the life I want to live, feel the way I want to feel, etc. I’m crying right now just feeling like I wish I was like most other people, and I never feel like that. Yeah other people’s lives may suck but hell at least a lot of them can enjoy certain pleasures of life and be successful. I can’t even do that. I don’t understand what I did wrong. I’m just so depressed to the point where I don’t even enjoy my passions anymore because of all this dysfunctional shit. Running is my passion and is the core of my life purpose and I want to take myself to the highest level possible simply because I love it but I keep sabotaging myself and don’t even let myself enjoy it. Doing personal development now just feels so fake and discouraging. I’ll sit down and read and feel upset because in my mind I think ‘I have to do this just so I can like who I am... why can’t I just like who I am?’ I’ve been trying the Sedona Method process for months now and have yet to get 1 conscious release. I go through the process so many times that I end up in tears because I just let go of these painful feelings, beliefs, etc. I feel so upset and discouraged because it doesn’t feel like this work is like me working towards me maximizing my potential. It feels like I have to do this work just to be among the common herd... and I cant even do that.

I'm at a very interesting but also very confusing point right now. The things I've always been passionate about my entire life have felt like they've run their course. I try all these different approaches to keep going or take a break or whatever but really, the feeling of completion remains the same. Now, I spend my days at home in my apartment alone and isolated. I don't really have a problem with that. In fact, I'm growing more in touch with it. What I take issue with is that i'm not driven to do anything anymore. I took the Life Purpose Course but what it directed me towards was the passion that has, like I said, run it's course. I've been chewing this matter over for several years now so this isn't just a short-term loss of motivation. I feel lost right now and don't really know what I want to do with myself at this point. I'll sit down and think of things I could do outside of my meditation habit and what not and I don't really come up with any answers that I really care about. I don't hang with people even anymore nor do I feel any motive to go out and meet new people at this point. I still need to work towards my own success and what not since I'm still living at home which I'm actually taking action on now every day which has been good. I've thought about taking psychedelics for the first time to maybe use that as a tool to figure out this issue and that's really the only idea I can think of in terms of solving this issue... Any ideas or suggestions on where I can maybe go from here?

A great technique for dealing with monkey mind that I found off Shinzen Young’s website: https://www.shinzen.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/art_echo.pdf

Hey guys, I’m in a real depressing slump right now and could use some book recommendations (yes I have Leo’s booklist). I’m struggling emotionally (a lot of it is from the withdrawal of now being off 4 of my 6 psych meds). Looking for some books that could maybe even be spiritually related that are about mastering your own psychology while mastering your craft in your life purpose. If that makes sense? If it helps, my purpose is centered around athletics. Just need some real inspiration I guess or something... thanks

When I started wondering why I haven’t taken action in my life purpose and have been so stuck in not working to better my life circumstances, e.g. moving out, earning my solid income, etc. this is what surfaced: I’ve never been motivated by money. I want to live a certain kinda life which I know requires money but actually earning money has never motivated me. Working to produce massive value comes off as like I’m going to have to become a people pleaser and I’m tired of other people’s reactions and opinions of me bother and effect me. I want to live life on my terms. Marketing is so contrived and in-genuine even if the thing you’re/I’m Marketing is itself genuine. Even if I’m Marketing my authentic personality, I cringe at the idea. It’s so contrived and fake. Just seems like more people pleasing. - Business has never motivated me. I’ve never cared about it. - Doing business is going to have me step aside from all the other aspirations I have for myself personally that I want to accomplish, e.g. running, working on myself, spiritual work, etc. which matters to me more than just doing business.

Awareness of YOUR own manipulations is what you’d be better off being concerned about and looking into.

Holy shit I needed to see this along with the rest of this thread

Enlightened master Peter Ralston often talks about the concept of personal transformation since all enlightenment is is just grasping who and what you really are and how finding out what it “is” doesn’t = change. However, what I’m fonfused by is if one can only TRULY change their character flaws post-enlightenment. True?

Stop asking and contemplate for yourself. Don’t be lazy. Whatever answer you’re given is just more stories, heresay, and beliefs. Even if you are given “the answer” what is telling you going to do?

@Joseph Maynor this is what I’m referring to.
