@Faceless If one don't have a mom to support one both with resources (from dad) and emotions, then school is probably better. Look into "unschooling". It's the optimal environment for a reasonably intelligent kid.

I agree.. I am glad my life went the way it did. I seem to see clearer because of this.

Luckily I was involved in martial arts and developed some pretty good fitness skills that I use a type of income. Health coach/trainer.

How can you lie about non duality?

Learning all the terms and concepts, then sounding very educated ;)

Like learning all the concepts but not knowing them experientially?

Yes.

Most people won't see the difference, since you can only experience yourself.

That's how all those bullshit cults are created.

I listen to shit about non-dual teachers all day, I hang around among people and when I say something wrong, I'm corrected and eventually I have this whole idea, ideology, and so on to just regurgitate. I don't speak out of understanding, an understanding of a large picture. I just take language I get in, it's processed, and I put out language.

@Saumaya If someone tells you something, you think about it, and you figure it out.. You don't say what they told you. Or you can. I'm thinking about these things. I'm asking questions.

Sometimes I take the position of what they said just so I can think about it.

Yes, expressing your ideas sometimes leads to greater clarity

Dude, most people are addicted to thinking and conceptualizing.

Experiencing the thing for themselves doesn't interest them, they want to believe in something, not to work for it.

And here's the regurgitating in action... You have to believe, think and conceptualize. Sorry, but that's just the way things are.

Its only when people get lost in their ideas is when there is a problem

You dont actually have to believe. Every belief is untrue and it will lead you only to one place...suffering.

 

Conformity. Its not bad if you not suffering, I do it. I like to stay on my couch being on forums all day, most days but if you are suffering, you are not really enjoying life.

I work for my awakening yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

There is a guy I know. He's Telugu. His father, being the only breadwinner passed away when he was 18, and mom a homemaker. He has a bro and sis younger than him at the time. With no income, he started becoming a graphic artist to support his family. His friends helped him.

You are fortunate enough to have a family supporting you. I agree that education / specialization is important, but there are opportunities in India, lots of it. You could explore your niche now. If you love teaching, become a tutor. Learn and teach someone on the subject you love to make extra bucks. Medical transcription part time, work at home on internet.

Only takes 5000 rs / month for rent for decent apartment. You don't even have to work full time there for that. Just have to research. Or, maybe a decent boy's hostel.

The funny thing is that unless you're enlightened, you still believe.

Maybe less than most but you still do, otherwise your all reality would crumble.

I was kind of joking. I genuinely want to attend college but I will start looking into some niches to get into.

Thanks for the advice

Good for you Shin, can't be more smug than that :)

This... this is IT! Shin. Can you see it? I'm Jed McKenna at the bonfire, with my hands out in the air: This is IT! And the students are around entranced by their Soma.

Nice B|
