Hello from Russia

YES

The problem with being known as "the direct path" is that every mystical\religious tradition says about itself that it is the most "direct path". At least in my experience. At least it is the case with Christian Orthodox (I grew up in a household) and with Islam. In Chistianity they often say (i've been told that) that, sure, you can go study\pursue other religions and even get results with it, but Christ way and Christian's way is the most direct, you'll be just wasting time with other traditions. So from this point of view, imo, it doesn't really say anything. Although I respect Zen a lot and I think it indeed is more straightforward and more "to the point" than many other traditions

Bro... Just get a real occupation. Don't get in hoops selling someone elses crap and giving them money for it. If you're really interested in Lead generation type of stuff just get to know some legit business, for example, some good software company and find clients for them for 10% of their sale amount. For example you get them a client that needs application developed. They take 5k$-10k$ from him You get 500-1000$. And you owe them nothing upfront or monthly. This is the legit business based on sales where you actually do something good for society (you bridge gaps) and you own the process, while you can scale it aswell. Why you're so tempted to do such shit that you described above? Just do some real business... not con-artistry with shitty supplements

But Leo has never told you to become a hobo. He emphasizes money mastery a lot, actually

Ask yourself a question: "Can art increase the consciousness?" Movie is just an art-form

What's wrong with ego?

Didn't try to convert anyone, just raising the awareness of these topics. Although, indeed, this material is quite emotional. Yep, that's why yellow and adobe's systemic thinking is needed here. IMO this shit is unacceptable and very cruel. I imagine being on avantgarde of this industry\problem can be very good life purpose

What are your thoughts on this ? What percentage of the slaughterhouses do you think are like that?

Usually 8-10, I try to make it more stable at 7-8 by creating various systems to increase my productivity\limit shallow work. I'm working on my design business during all these hours and I work from home

How do you know life is contemporary? What is life?

I'd treat it just as a relative framework to judge how woke some people "feel". I found it's pretty useful to judge someone's level of "wokeness" in daily practical situations, it gives you a good foresight for your future interactions. Especially good for leaders.

Do you define conceptual type of work and admin type of work as work? For example, reading a book on sales\marketing, planning the next week work, outlining a project you're going to do, answering e-mails. Do you count it as work? This notion of work vs rest is very relative and depends on how you define it. Someone could rest watching some marketing videos yet at the same he is learning something that will help him in his business, it's business and work-related yet I find it hard to just call it work either.

Imo, do nothing means you have no distractions besides just doing nothing, you just face emptiness so to speak. Tbh I think it is a bad idea to teach this technique to newbie students, as this stuff is pretty advanced. I'd start from simple concentration practice like focusing on breath and then grow your consciousness "state" while meditating from there. From focused attention on the object to effortless attention on the object to efortless attention on space to efortless attention on entire cosmos to efortless attention finally on nothingness. You build up to that thing. Without good concentration abilities (which you can train) it is very hard to hold on to nothingness truly. So I suggest sticking to less advanced stuff for now (although don't let that limit you by any means)

I'm not trying to be offensive here, just giving my perspective after I read it. Right now I am under impression that all that stuff you wrote went from your vagina, not from your heart or mind, especially the part about children. I'd wear off of stimulation a little bit and think about it more sober and authentically. Not saying this guy is not right for you, though. Maybe yes, maybe no, up to you and your authentic bodymind to decide

I welcome everyone to discuss and share budgeting methods you use with your spauces\girlfriends when you're living together and having a shared household. Do you go 50%\50% on everything? Do you (as a male) pay more for things? How do you address income inequality in a couple? And things like that. Experience of those of you, who are married, or who lived together in a couple for a long time is highly appreciated and valuable here

I think there is an unhealthy sense of identity, often inauthentic one, the one you were forced to wear for survival needs and then there is an authentic one, it's about the character you really want to play in life by your own choice, the character you enjoy, yet you don't attach to it. I think having the latter is good and is worthy of pursuing, "finding yourself" so to speak

I already got a hot witch girlfriend without him, too much time to wait

Interesting way to do it, I'd say it is pretty advanced

@Eph75 Thank you for your input! So, your model basically works like this: For example, your wife makes 30% of total income and you make 70% income, you, then, share the check 30\70% on things? Do you save money also 30\70?

Glad you're following a life purpose man! Since you're making content for others, and especially with text, I'd advice you to pick up some graphic design skills to make your content besides artwork look decent and more professional. Especially, I'd suggest studying the typography

What is your reasoning behind that?

@Leo Gura Can you, please, share some bits of your protocols? I remember you wanted to do that in your post 30 days retreat notes

How do you know that? From the outside it seems like they identify A LOT with their bodyminds

ENTJ also make the most money out of all types
