I think part of it is detaching from and seeing through the incessant need to get too much done every day. When I did the Notion series of August Bradley on YouTube, he mentioned doing just a few urgent things every day and not cluttering your task list. You can't do it all and that is okay. Prioritiy assessment is again key here. Todoist or a proper Notion system or something in that direction help immensely. Just find out: what is priority 1? And what can wait? And those tasks that can wait you can further assess as to what is not really that important and what should be looked into soon. Regarding the spiritual work: the reason I'm spending so much time on it (and it's not realistic every day), is because my life purpose is spiritual work and teaching. So every hour I spend meditating I see as life purpose work. Otherwise, of course I would not be able to spend nearly as much time. Keep that in mind when you hear others being super committed is because this might be their number one or two highest priority. No one juggles full on work, spirituality, exercise, friends, hobbies and all that in a normal day. You gotta decide

Nice synchronicity - we re-watched this in silence during a self organized meditation retreat at the end of December. In my opinion, one of his best and most essential videos. He doesn't give credit to all the material that went into this (it's not a new model, it's just very well understood and greatly integrated into spiritual and community understanding). Really essential for shadow work and effective spiritual growth. That's what I love him for

Priority assessment is key, and I found it's important to choose carefully and be very specific about what is more important than other things. For example, spiritual practice is non-negotiable for me. I also value health highly. For proper nutrition, there is no real excuse not to do it. Exercise is also very important to me, but if I have to choose between not doing my spiritual practice and not exercising, I'll choose not to exercise. It's a tough one, but I just had to define clearly what I would choose in each of these situations. Same with "work" - if your work is more important than exercising or whatever else, in edge cases you will know what to choose. And the work you do as a passionate embodiment of your Self is probably gonna have one of the highest priorities of all, and possibly gonna eclipse other things you value highly - but not as highly as your work (social life, exercise, entertainment, sleep, it depends what you value). Then there is the balance aspect. I like perfectly structuring my days, but if I can't exercise today, I'll do it tomorrow when my schedule is less tight and work only 4 instead of 5 hours to compensate that day (random numbers) - because even though work is more important to me, in the big picture health and work are one, and it's great to keep things in balance in the perspective of a week, a month, etc. Not that I've mastered this, but I'm trying my best. It's hard to define clearly, a lot of intuition goes into this. Speaking of which... Flow. There are times when I structure my days and am excited the night before, but being honest to myself the moment I'm on schedule, I might just feel that I need rest. And if it is at all possible, I then will rest. Sometimes, I need creative and playful expression. Then I will grant that. It's important not to use this as an excuse, but also not being too strict - at least that's what I find most natural. No stress, no pressure, but still doing my best in all areas. Love, patience, compassion for oneself is key. It's also dependent on my energetic phase I'm in. Sometimes it's all direction-oriented DOING, sometimes it's gentle and intuitive surrender to whatever wants to happen. To allow this dance is not easy, but feels very natural. Don't try to hustle if you need rest, silence or spontaneous surrender. Don't force yourself to rest or be floaty if your inspiration and passion are boiling and want to come out in a laser focused way. My days now look roughly like this (there is also social time mostly on the weekends which I value highly): - Wake up and ideally 4-5 hours of spiritual work (meditation, prayer, kriya yoga, yoga, reading) - Working on my own project and/or going to side job - One meal a day somewhere around noon/early afternoon - If possible, some exercise whenever it fits, ideally shortly before eating - If desired, creative time, social time, learning and reading It feels good to keep it as simple as possible.

Thank you Michael, this means a lot ? Thank you so much! It's so crazy how much judgment there is of one's own voice. Not a long time ago, I cringed when I listened, now I can happily listen for a long time and can be more objective, although that is very hard. It's nice to get positive feedback that it's appropriate for what I do. I still gotta learn the delivery dexterity of course. And you're right, I'll implement an image and an open and personal about me page. Thank you for the support and constructive feedback <3

Thank you so much! This is really helpful, I will look into all of this. I had similar feelings about the points you're making. With the logo, I don't really see the pixelation you're speaking of. It's quite subtle, no? Or maybe I'll need to check on another device. Will look into anti-aliasing. Thank you It's neither "just laying down", nor would I personally say the sound in the background (whatever it may be) is essential to it. Look up what Yoga Nidra is, or even better - just do a full session. It's one of the deepest practices I've done, been doing it for 6 years or so. You just have to do it. Lay down in shivasana, don't move one bit, relax and just follow the voice. Especially the one I sent you -> heavenly

Thank you! Yes, I'll try to integrate his/her feedback. And thank you for yours, very encouraging I'm doing this as my service to Truth, nothing else makes sense anymore. So yes, this is for the community, not for "me" ??

So good to hear from you, it's been a while. Thank you for your kind words. ?? Really means a lot

That's true, good point. Will get to work!

Thanks for understanding. I'm not trying to deny your perspective. I know I can do much better. But I have to start somewhere, and for a start, I'm still very satisfied. Just to be open and vulnerable: your words really triggered something in me, and from a state of calm and peace, suddenly a lot of fear came up in me. To my surprise, it was very intense. So I sat down to meditate for 90 minutes, just allowing this feeling to be there. It unfolded a bit but I still feel very much like some deep wound was touched here. It's very difficult and painful. So I thank you for triggering, would have had to look into it at some point anyway. I'm not at all saying this is your "fault" or anything like that. It is my momentary sensitivity that made this trigger me, and that's perfectly fine. But maybe this is also a sign to you what words can do to people. Especially when they are already making themselves vulnerable by putting themselves out there for the very first time. That's part of the game I guess, but maybe this is helpful to you, too.

There is a lot of effort I already put into all of this, sorry if you don't see that. I started with this just a few weeks ago, this is my very best right now. Putting a picture on the top of the website just means I'm showing people who I am don't hide behind words and images. I think that's a smart move, because I am the face of my business. I feel really attacked by your words to be honest, but I also realize that you're seemingly liking giving others a hard time. What is this talk about LSD and hard work about? You have no idea what you're talking about. But thank you, I'm taking that you find all of this laughable and since of course I already know I will and want to improve, I will take that into account. But then you're just not someone I would want to work with anyway, for there are people who's hearts I'm touching regularly, and I know this is my strength. So yes, please stop being harsh. This is not what I asked for. You're not helpful at all.

Just feeling whatever is there, and not expecting any love. I have found that if there is no love in the heart, it is either numbed and one feels nothing at all - and in this case it's important to feel that nothingness, that lack of energy, for it is an internalized feeling of lack, mostly through early trauma. Allowing this nothingness to be there reveals what is thought to be missing. But it takes time. The other possibility is that you feel pain in the heart. When you feel into it, it might turn into emptiness, or feeling into the emptiness can turn into feeling pain. It's like layers of feelings we deny ourselves to feel. Like an onion, allow these layers to fall off, just by feeling into the heart. In general, patience and the willingness to feel and to allow pain and fear is the key. And not expecting anything. Love is so easy when it feels safe. But mostly it feels abandoned or threatened and we need to deal with these shadows first. And one very powerful practice to open your heart to love is this one (has done soo much for me). Practice this every day and your heart will open quickly, guaranteed. And it will heal:

Thank you, friend ??

Thanks for your honesty. Yes, the website is quite minimalistic, but it's all there: the core truth I want to help others realize, short inspirational suggestions for meditation and on the guiding page is written what you can expect from a session with me. The only thing I want to change for now is putting a picture of myself on the top. That's all the website is there for: inspirational reading and a way to contact me for one on one sessions. I like it and have gotten very positive feedback so far, aside from yours. But I'm taking it into account, thank you. What do you mean the video is not edited? This is a guided meditation which I wrote myself which took me a very long time. The picture I took myself, so all of it is original content. It's not about reading something, it's about what the meditation can do for you. The way I structure and deliver the meditation (from the depths of my heart), is the value here. I edited my recording thoroughly to provide high quality audio. As I said, this is my start. My purple cow is that I'm a deep diver and I'm very holistic. I have studied and practiced a lot of different approaches to realization and am focusing on the very core of what spirituality is about, as well as embodiment. I am the purple cow, I offer people the value to see what is true and see reality as what it is: One. Love. God. So I'm a teacher, a guide, a coach. I think it's obvious that only love, time and effort will make me great at that. But for now, I'm focusing on improving and offering free value - in the form of guided meditations. Thanks again, but maybe try being less harsh in your way of replying. Be honest but be constructive also

Amazing! Sometimes it just takes allowing everything and being there fully, no matter how painful it may be. Peace always reveals itself and is infinitely patient for us to let the storm settle.

When you feel your right hand for example and dive into that sensation for a very long time, trying to find the substance of it, that thing that you think exists there, you can never pin point it - because it is ever changing. It might appear as if it were not changing, because it vibrates too fast for you to notice or it vibrates with great intensity. But even though it seems that way, when you look, there is no substance. Only a belief of a substance, of a thingness. You can do this with every experience. I like gravity for this exploration. Put your head and hands on the ground in front of you, close your eyes and zoom in on the feeling that you label gravity. It feels so strong and present. But what is it? There's nothing there, really. But look and question and see for yourself, maybe you go even deeper than I have. Can make you float pretty quickly ?‍♂️ Absolutely. But that makes it just an experience that stays for a while longer than most. If you have a pain in your body and it stays for a few days, you know the feeling of it becoming more of a "thing" and it annoys you and you want to get rid of it because it feels so sticky and burdening. Right? That's because we're reifying experiences - we're making them "things". That's a term from object-relations theory by the way, "reification". It's a well known psychological pattern we have. And that's what we do with the body pretty early on, and now it's pretty much dialed in, so we have to really penetrate that belief for it to soften.

As a matter of fact, it IS just arguing words what you do, literally. I've done my best, last reply too, you lost multiple people now. Maybe that can be a sign to you. You're very lost in mind. Before replying into nothingness, please, for your own sake, see that it's not an attack. But maybe there is a little tiny pinch of truth to that. Maybe you're just very lost in thinking. Experience/realization, thing/no-thing. All of it is irrelevant to what is being said here and all of it is literally just a concept. That's all it is. Realization is now in this very experience, has no name and doesn't argue about what it is or is not, since being x or y is a duality like any other. Either you see reality clearly right now or you don't. All the best to you my friend, give some attention to your heart. Won't come back here. ??

I see what you're saying. But in no way is the body constant. The body once was not here, and we forget it at times, and it won't be here some day. It's neither a constant nor can't you get rid of it. Be unlucky in traffic and you don't experience the body anymore. You can also just look into the feeling of the body and see that there is nothing substantial or constant. It's just vibrations of yourself, just like anything else we call experience. And yes, because we misinterpret that vibration as being a constant feeling, we think that's what we are. Same goes for thoughts which seem like they were actually substantial instead of fluctuating waves of nothingness vibrating in nothingness. God god'ing itself

He takes existence as the ground of everything (ground not being a something) and says your notion must come from that ground You take nothingness to be the ground of everything (ground not being a something) and say his notion must come from that ground So as I pointed out earlier - you are both right, but tangled up in words. Existence/nothingness - Jesus Christ, decide on a word or just don't use any. We should all approach *insert name for absolute ground* like Voldemort - we never dare to speak its name. @Terell Kirbyo pointed to something important here - direct experience is what you guys are talking about. Everything is it. In that sense, reality is fucking real - existent or not (neither, both and each, and not even that ?). And he thought you were denying the isness of issing, that was his point (I think, correct me if I'm wrong). Bottom line: stop arguing over words, see what's real RIGHT HERE. It's not anywhere else, not in a concept of nothingness or everythingness. That's it, boom. All proper teachings say this. Non duality. Neither nothingness nor God, neither emptiness nor fullness. Neither duality nor non duality. Neither God realized nor not God realized. Neither attacking nor not attacking (sorry)

Okay so without any concepts made about anything, saying I'm human is just not true. Absolutely speaking, we can't say anything about it, so saying I'm a human makes no sense. Seeing that all is one, I am all, so I am not a human being compared to anything else. But I am ALSO that human being. Seeing that all is imaginary I am only the human being as an imaginary modulation of myself, only in the relative world. Seeing that the magic trick is here for me to live myself as every detail of myself, I am quite proudly including the dualistic perspective, because that's also me, and that is what I, Oneness, choose to experience myself as.

Aye aye John Locke ?? Have at it By the way existence/non-existence, nothingness/God, something being inside or outside something are all still dualities. Words just don't get you anywhere and that's why I'm teasing you *fades aways into emptiness, oops I mean nothingness, what was the correct term for the absolute again, I forgot? God?

Okay Mr serious, I'm leaving you alone now, you don't seem to get what I'm saying at all and keep on seeing attacks where there are none ? You just validate what I try to show you, but you don't see it. I still love you though, have a good one ?

Oh yeah, almost forgot, thank you! Love all of you, even when it hurts, amen ?? That's a neat formula right here, maybe hurry up and patent it, could be a biggie soon

? No need to hurry, we have all the time in the world

I do agree with your post and I find it lovely, I said that And I've taken my right to add to this public forum and spread my message of wanting this forum to be more embodied and loving. And yes, I'm not perfect of course, that's why I want to create a space where nobody needs to be perfect and is still not afraid to communicate love. So I'm including myself of course. The problem is when it's actually about the message but every word somebody says is analyzed to death. Let's learn together and be open and not defend ourselves. Gosh we have so much potential because WE are the ones actually seeing that we are one, but that potential gets always swallowed up by talking about what you said what he said what she said what I meant what you projected, bla bla bla. And I'm doing this, too. It's a distraction. It's just defense. And it's sad. And no matter what, I'm willing to give it my best to give an honest pinch of love into this forum so this space can become more mature. ??

"You're attacking me!" "No YOU'RE gaslighting me!" "No you're just misinterpretating and projecting!" Ooops I did it again ? But this time I'm even making fun of myself, so you don't feel attacked again. Don't you see, this is not serious at all? Let's just lighten things up, nobody needs to be right. If you like you can be right this time Be a mature human being and be okay if others show you what they see when you communicate - and don't take it so seriously . I love you ??❤️ I truly do. Don't forget it all comes down to loving each other. All else is just misinterpretation.
