How would you develop yourself after enlightenment?

[ajasatya]

@CreamCat let's take a step further then. sorry if i am being pedantic but this is what most people evade when doing this kind of work.

how exactly are you going to become a master? what should you be doing 24/7 that you aren't?

This thread reminds me of the Chinese farmer parable of good news / bad news.

• Develop discipline
• Become more functional
• Master basics of life
• Develop body and mind
• Be more mindful of when I should drink water
• Be more mindful of when to stop working and take a rest and call it a day.
• etc, etc, ...

I want to become more functional and more effective than 99% of the population so that I can excel in whatever I do.

@CreamCat do i smell fear of commitment?

that's still to abstract, as pointed by @Shin.

can you explicit exactly what you are going to do about it right after you close this tab of your web browser?

First become Enlightened, then ask the question.

The goal is to help myself to the point where I become self-sufficient, become a master, and look for ways to help others with my skills while also helping myself.

Since I don't want to reveal my personal information, I don't want to reveal details of my goals. I can tell you about the big picture.

I cannot give you any fundamentally different answers for now.

I am out of the conversation so far, I don't feel I add value currently.

I was busy talking with ajasatya. I cannot handle multiple conversations.

Since enlightenment is a very long process, I want basic personal development to be done separately from enlightenment although personal development and enlightenment overlap.

Enlightenment doesn't need to be a very long process.

If you think that, it will become a reality.

It could happen right here right now.

@CreamCat You could benefit tremendously listening to the videos from shinzen, that would completely eradicate this whole conversation.

An enlightened master with a math background, neuroscience and a phd is above 99% of the population.

I can see that videos can be more useful to me than forums.

@CreamCat Leo's new video explains this perfectly lol. My prof always ranted about shit quality questions and he is a high performer who thought at Columbia. No idea why this guy is here, besides that he owns his own company.
