There's a guy named Paul Selig who channels a pair of higher beings (he calls them ''the guides''). He starts channeling them at 38:10...while it seems crazy at first, the guy seems legit. He had a great discussion with psychonaut and overall badass, Aubrey Marcus.

I found my life purpose 5 years ago by typing ''How to find your life purpose'' in Google. The search led me to reflect on my gifts, passions, childhood dreams, values etc. After writing furiously in my journal for two hours, I had a vision : I saw my self on stage speaking to a crowd of high school students. As soon as I saw the image, a powerful shock ran from the top of my head all the way down my spine. I knew.

In life, you can either have a job, a career or a vocation. A job is simply a way to make ends meet and offers very little satisfaction to the worker. Sadly, most people have a job. Are you sure that's what you want? The careerist derives meaning not from the nature of the work itself but the gratification that comes from advancing through the ranks and earning promotions and raises. However, once this forward progress stops, the careerist becomes unsatisfied and frustrated. A vocation is work you do for its own sake. You are intrinsicaly motivated to do it. People who have a vocation believe that their work truly utilizes their unique gifts and talents. Now that's EXCITING!!! I seriously pinch myself everyday for having found my vocation. It's hard work, some days are rough, but words can't describe how amazing it feels to earn a living by giving your gifts to the world. So, what would you do if you had 50 million dollars in the bank? I know it's a cliché question but seriously, what the fuck would you do with your time? What fascinates you? What are you uniquely qualified to do? Remember that you are going to be dead soon enough.

Amazing video that echoes Leo's recent video on the topic.

Spiral Dynamics is a good conversation starter

A month ago, I took 1.5g of psilocybin and as soon as I started to see some light visuals, I freaked out. To say that I have a strong resistance to not being in control would be a euphemism. It sucks because I would really love to heal the fear that lives inside me. When I was 20, I developed an arrhythmia problem that led me to take a dozen trips to the hospital with a pulse hovering around 250. Each time I was in the ambulance, I felt incredibly powerless and terrified. From my perspective, I was always a coin flip away from death. Today, I’m 32 and in perfect physical health but whenever I take a drug that alter my physiology or state of consciousness, I become panicky. It’s incredibly hard to stay with the fear when it arises. What should I do?

He once said that he would love to receive an invitation. I wrote a quick message to his team last week. You can do the same! https://www.joerogan.com/contact/ (select podcast booking inquiries)

Short bit of my show called ''La bonne job'' (I'm from Québec) where I try to help teenagers/young adults find their lifepurpose. In this particular bit, I tell the audience how I wanted to be a pope when I was 8 and how I almost got beat up for preaching in the schoolyard. The goal of the presentation is to make them think about their unique gifts, passions and values.

“I had put in all the hours necessary for the degree; all I had to do was write that goddamn thesis. They wouldn’t let me move into another place to continue my education, so I said to hell with it. I went up to into the woods and spent five years reading. I never got the Ph.D. I learned to live on absolutely nothing. I was free and had no responsibilities. It was marvelous. It takes courage to do what you want. Other people have a lot of plans for you. Nobody wants you to do what you want to do. They want you to go on their trip, but you can do what you want. I did. I went into the woods and read for five years.” -Joseph Campbell

How often do you reshoot videos these days?

I don't know about dreams, but my life purpose manifested itself to me in a vision. That experience lead me to make complete 180 turn. Where did that vision came from? No clue, but I trusted it.

Since you’re specifically asking about the afterlife, souls have apparently a life review after each incarnation. But instead of being judged by God, souls get to experience how they made everybody they met feel. So, if you mostly caused pain in others, it’s going to be hell. Obviously, I have no idea if it’s true or not but I hope that’s how it works. I took that from the book Journey of Souls: a case studies of life between lives. A pretty entertaining and inspiring read.

I completely agree.

@zoey101 Very nice post! @Nadosa Watch this!

While I can do nothing for an hour pretty easily, this is unchartered territory and I really wonder how I'd do. A good friend of mine had a complete meltdown on the 3rd day of his first vipassana retreat. But on the 9th day, he had a mystic experience that changed him profoundly. I guess we need to allow ourselves to go nuts if we want to truly be sane.

A powerful critique of orange!

@Leo Gura I'm sorry but Actualized.org is some boring ass shit compared to that. Jerry Jerry Jerry!!!

By constantly raising our level of awareness, our base level of happiness has to go up too. It's always our unconsciousness that makes us miserable. That said, you can be a miserable green, a suicidal orange and a quite happy blue. The big step occurs when you get to Yellow/Turquoise.
