Here was mine when I did the course in 2019 the first time (I did it twice): My life purpose is to deep-dive issues and projects in order to help myself and others increase levels of self-acceptance and acceptance of reality by optimizing the use of the mind.

Is there only one Absolute Truth or are there many?

According to you, right?

Whaat?

Yes, by direct experience you exist.

you or You?

What is Absolute Truth?

Could you clarify this?

Happy New Year all!

The need for drama.

Yes. And people tell you what they're insecure about.

Some people really enjoy being an accountant, and they can make great money.

There seem to be those who find it best applies to countries and those that find it best applies to people. I fall into the latter group. I can generally tell someone's spiral stage after getting to know them. For example, I've been interacting with a stage red person now for months and it's real. You know it when you see it.

I don't mean to press you, but what is an idea or thought?

What is Existence?

I see it the other way around, maybe: I Am therefore thinking occurs.

Reminds me of stage orange on down the spiral. There's no attempt to build a peer-to-peer relationship which is stage green. The benefits from maintaining relationships is not appreciated -- for everyone involved too, vis-a-vis, people lower down on the spiral.

I love the post on reductionism. The there is no x and x is just y plays have been notable to me in my discussions lately. E.g., direct experience is just sensation, perception, thought.

The reason in the artform at issue.

What do you do as a job or career?

Take reasonable risks. That's the key. Living in a fantasy doesn't make a career. A career is grounded in reality and real value that people want to pay you for. This is where you need some planning and intention. Unless you just do this naturally, then there is no issue here. But most people need and want guidance as to how to monetize an off the grid job or career.
