Hmmm...genuine curiousity? .......

I would sayyyyyyyy, psychedelics. Listen to the voice that speaks to you. Learn how to hear it while not high

Also I have found that meditating, makes you want to meditate...so failing to meditate for a day (at least I find) can be dangerous because you lose the desire.

This is actually a very important question imo, I wonder what others would say

@REALNEGA Have a mystical experience, something mind shattering, that would probably be one of the best if not the only way to spark a real desire for truth.

Great question, thanks. It can apply to so many areas in life.

Start questioning everything you already know for sure. Inquire into how and when and on what basis you started to take all this knowledge for granted as truth. Contemplative journaling helps a lot in this regard.

When your current paradigms and assumptions are weakened at their base, you will naturally crave for something 'real' and genuinely 'true' in your life.

As for books to really shake you up, read the Enlightenment trilogy of Jed Mckenna

Do something you dont like to do then find 3 things you like about it somthing you would not notice.

Also in your day to day life focus on things you wouldnt normally. 

 

Listen to different types of music genre.

Try to visualize the fact that only a 4.5 billion years ago you were a dust speck in a vacuum, and now you can be aware of that fact. You can build cities, and launch a rocket into space, you can create the most amazing pieces of art.

How come? how could a speck of dust do all this?
