I think this is what my life purpose is too.

I posted a lot of great albums here too.

This is good. You transcended the mind. See? Your mind augments your reality in many ways. When you get in a state of flow like that you can see what reality is outside of what the mind wants reality to be.

We gotta balance everything in smart ways. If you're growing, that's the test. Synergy was one of Covey's Habits for a reason. Ya ever hear of the phrase -- "Two heads are better than one!" Well, there you have it. If you wanna be smart, you gotta learn from everyone. And for that you need to be in an environment where people of all ages discuss ideas. It depends on what your motive is. And what you take to be important to your growth at a particular time. If it's not resonating with you, if you feel too reigned in -- just stay away for a while. But remember: Keep rules, but be flexible with them too. Do rules, don't let rules do you! It's a certain kind of intuitive balancing act. Use all of your tools to the max! And give back! You owe that to your teachers. Give back what you took and then some! That's called contribution: and it's a core element of life purpose work. Contribute to growth -- you'll get it back in spades! It depends on how far you wanna go in this work. If you're a deep-diver like me, you'll wanna hit the deepest bottom there is. For better or for worse! There's a deep backdrop that you can build -- like the stark-white canvas behind the painting. There's something to be gleaned from every experience. Be a sponge -- just wring yourself out every now and again. That's fine! That's normal! Cleanse and renew. That's healthy. I've done that many times myself. That's what life is! https://www.franklincovey.com/the-7-habits/habit-6.html Watch: Watch this one after:

It's kind of a strange place to get to -- to authentically exist. You can't really be too cocky and you can't really be too modest. You know less than you want to know, and that's ok. The most important thing is to be authentic and then most of your problems melt away. And to know is egoic. You can survive just fine without knowing, can't you? This is a paradigm that you probably have never even been exposed to. It's kind of a jump from what you have now. Watch: This is a great explanation by Leo: Another important one to watch:

What's your daily meditation habit like?

What's your daily meditation habit like?

It depends on where you are in your personal development which advice is gonna resonate with you. I think the answer is to find your authentic self and then nurture authentic interests. Hone those to get the bottom layers of Maslow's Pyramid handled in your life. You do authentically want to take care of yourself, the Mind just disconnects you from this desire. So, counter--intuitively, when you discover the no-self, which is your authentic self, you will naturally gravitate to being much more pragmatic about taking care of some of the more mundane needs of a quality, comfortable life. But expect all of your unauthentic desires and goals to fall away. Watch this video: Watch this one too: It's a good one:

Watch these three videos: What is Ego? What is Karma? What's Wrong with Ego?

Ask the question and just let your mind scan over answers. Consider answers and everything else that comes to mind. See what comes up and follow the leads, don't try to control too much in advance.

Good job. Journaling is such a boon to growth. You should do the same exercise on this topic -- "Blocks to becoming your authentic self." Watch this video too:

I only did it for 20 seconds when I was doing it. That is long enough.
