Good job. You learned a lot my forcing yourself to make this list. I like your list of cons. It’s important to understand the cons of Green. Green has serious cons.

A lot of the reason they say ‘renounce knowledge’ is because they don’t have knowledge. It’s easy to renounce something you ain’t got. These people should renounce their renouncing of knowledge. They don’t know what to say to that. You’ll get a ‘deer in the headlights’ look from them.

Nice post! You never escape Ego, you just become more aware of it and watch it evolve as you move up the Spiral. The Ego gets healthier as you move up the Spiral. That’s why your happiness and fulfillment also increase as you go up the Spiral. There’s less ‘artificial interference’ as you go up the Spiral. You become more evolved, more flexible, more authentic, more constructive.

No. But when I meditate insights come to me quite a lot. I just do Do Nothing Meditation.

How many people do you think actually accept the fact that they’re a lying, manipulative, asshole?

It's not a matter of belief, it's a matter of utility.

This book will answer your questions. I read it twice. https://www.amazon.com/Ludwig-Wittgenstein-Genius-Ray-Monk/dp/0140159959

Music is the Universal language. Even non-human animals appreciate music. Birds love music. Birds are natural musicians.

Yeah. The Course is specifically set up to guide you to crafting your life purpose. It’s very good. Trying to find your life purpose without doing the Course is no good. I tried to do that too. The Course has many exercises that have you come at life purpose from many different angles. Leo did a good job on that course. I’m surprised schools don’t buy it.

Make it a priority to start the Course in the next 6 months.

What was your life purpose from completing Leo’s Course.

I worked through all the sentence stems myself. This is quality personal development work you’re doing. This gets you digging into your self-image so you can find out what’s in there. You can’t address a problem until you can identify it. What you’re doing is helping yourself identify problems now and later on down the road. So, doing this work is a good investment for you.

I find no need for the concept.

Everybody thinks they’re the expert. It’s not just you either.

It is amazing to me how much people misunderstand theory. It carves out a whole niche for me to try to help remedy, so I really shouldn’t be complaining.

I’m so glad you’re on the Forum. I too am interested in Egyptology.

I love the Pimsleur Conversational CDs to start. They are inexpensive too. https://www.pimsleur.com/learn-dutch/pimsleur-dutch-conversational-course-level-1-lessons-1-16-cd/9780743552523?coupon_code=pla&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6bTJjqrI2wIVisJkCh2tggnaEAYYAiABEgLUsvD_BwE

This is interesting too

Fascinating question!

Step one would be to find your life purpose. I would do Leo’s Course to get started in that.

What is full Enlightenment? Is it a thought-story or Existential Truth? People create a lot of their own hurdles. Enlightenment work for me was challenging for a couple years, but once I became Existential Truth — all the seeking stopped. Be careful you’re not trying to seek some concept of Enlightenment. Don’t turn Enlightenment into something that it’s not. Some people seem to really get trapped that way. And there’s no way to reason with these people either. It’s like trying to convince a dog to stop tracking a scent that has captured its imagination. It’s just gotta keep following that scent until the issue resolves itself, right. You just gotta let the dog do that.

He’s a good dude.

Haha. What? Too much drama?

You gotta create it. You create a vision first and then embody it. That’s how the process works.

Always feel free to come back. The journey is a long and windy road.
