God's Biggest Intention While I'm In His Ass

[Ar_Senses]

Hello there!

I love to do post's here from time to time, they're really helping me to contemplate and observe the situation from another perspective + I love to think that it can somehow help or inspire somebody else.

So... LET'S GO!!!

If we will carefully observe life + connect our experience with all theories, which we can get from Leo's videos, other teachings, religions, mystical traditions, psychedelics, meditations & etc, we can notice, that every thing designed to experience something special. For example, it's obvious that cheetah has that exact character strengths to be the fastest predator in the world. Therefore we can conclude that God's Will is to feel what it's like to be that spotty cat with exact strengths and abilities, in other word, he want to know what is being nothing else but cheetah.

I was laughing when heard @Leo Gura analogy that The Universal Purpose of Life is like a God experiencing himself while doing a colonoscopy to himself. BTW that feels very true . Everybody know that a photographer got to use different types of lenses on his camera for different types of shootings. If it's a wedding - it'll be one type, if it'll be shooting from space - he'll need something different.

 

How is that useful for ME?! How my life can be better, if I've noticed that?

I think, that understanding of that concept + knowing yourself can bring more confidence, clear your vision, resolve some doubts and save a lot of lifetime.

Imagine a character building process in the Movie, Game, Book or TV Show. At the point of the script-writing author has gave to the Main Character special strengths and weaknesses, personal biography which will made his story more interesting (nobody likes to watch movies about all-mighty hero's without weak spots) and then threw him into the Story, both will be designed exactly for each other.

It's not so often to see movies, where cancer patient fighting with evil guy, who wants to start a nuclear war, as well as it's not often to see a movie where an ex-Navy SEAL black-belt karate masculine guy trying to save his marriage and two kids, after he realised that he is gay.  Of course, God is able to imagine EVERY POSSIBLE story, but still, we can find some patterns in our human history.

 

Okay then, so what exactly God wants to experience through ME?

 To answer that question I should know very well about myself:

• Top core Values
• Top Strengths
• Top Weaknesses/Things at which I Suck
• Zone of Genius
• MBTI-type (will be helpful)
• Spiral-Dynamics situation (own status, family, friends, county, job & etc.)
• Key events
• Personal Traumas and Fears
• Biggest Struggles/Chronic Problems
• Good Habits
• Addictions
• What is The Best Impact, That I Want to Make
• What I Hate
• What I Love

P.s. Life Purpose Course can be very useful to figure these out

 

So let's Imagine, that I'm a script-writer who's playing a game with his friends and he's trying to figure out to which type of story the hero belongs via his personal characteristics:

Basic Info: Arsen, male, 24 y.o., 183 cm height

Core Values (from the top): Wisdom / Truth / Freedom / Adventure / Self-expression / Peace / Impact / Communication / Health & Energy / Leadership

Top Strengths (from the top): Spirituality, Sense of Purpose & Faith / Curiosity and Interest in World / Hope, Optimism and Future-Mindedness / Humour and Playfulness / Woo (ability to "breaking the ice" while meeting new people)

Top Weaknesses/Things at which I Suck (from the top): Modesty and Humility / Industry Diligence and Perseverance / Self-control and Self-regulation / Citizenship, Teamwork, Loyalty / Сaution and Providence

Zone of Genius: To Understand the origin and the principles of Life

MBTI-type: ENTP (Debater). "The Debater personality type is the ultimate devil’s advocate, thriving on the process of shredding arguments and beliefs and letting the ribbons drift in the wind for all to see. Debaters don’t do this because they are trying to achieve some deeper purpose or strategic goal, but for the simple reason that it’s fun."

Spiral-Dynamics Situation: 15% Yellow/45% Green/30% Orange/10% Blue.  Grew in the stage-blue country, with a stage-blue ambulance-worker single mother, but deeply soaked in Western Stage-Orange culture (Rap/Video-games/Movies/TV Shows/Porn/Internet), started to move into Green in the teenage years because of witnessing a lot of social injustice and searching for more or less authentic sub-culture to identify with (Bob Marley, Che Guevara, Fighting with the System & etc). After school graduation experienced existential crisis and then got started to search answers in Literature, Self-Dev, Meditation, Spirituality and Psychedelics. Lack of Orange integration, with hints of Stage-Yellow cognition.

Key events: The unexpected death of a kitten I took from the mother cat who tried to kill him (at age 13) / Death of a younger sister from strangulation during childbirth / The husband of the godmother who beat her hard before they divorced while me and her son were right there / The son of godmother who beat her at the age of 10-12 when she didn't allow him something / Moving to the big city at 18 / First "serious" relationship which end up as a tragedy for me / Second relationship with depressed ex-model stage-orange/blue girl / Third relationship with the depressed stage-green/orange girl / LSD-trip with intention to figure out Life / Ayahuasca retreat with the same intention / Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT) retreat with the same intention / Vipassana retreat / Taking Life Purpose Course / Mystical experiences while dreaming / Decided to become a life-coach/psychotherapist and using psychedelics in sessions, when it'll be legal.

Personal Traumas and Fears: Fear of failure because of emotionally undeveloped young mother / Fear of getting stuck and not realizing yourself / Shame and vulnerability for my personal flaws, which are very contradicting with the stage Blue/Orange values / Fear of being unworthiness

Biggest Struggles/Chronic Problems: Constant Lack of Money, Financial inadequacy / Story of dysfunctional long-term relationship / Difficulties with holding a job and perform duties / Lack of discipline, Procrastination, Self-efficacy and Self-control / Lack of social intelligence (too much not-giving-a-fuck) / Lack of important skills needed for survival

Good Habits: Daily meditation/concentration/visualisation/affirmation routine / Reading / Jiu-Jitsu / Clean Eating (1,5 mnth) / Contemplation / Watching Videos / Journaling

Addictions: Porn / Arguing / Social-Media (Instagram and Youtube) / Stimulation with food / Procrastinating

What is The Best Impact, That I Want to Make: To inspire people, to demonstrate that there is More To Life and that it's bigger and better, to help making their life richer and happier.

What I Hate: Robotic duties, uninspired and meaningless life, social conditioning, unhealthy things like junk food and instagram, empty conversations, need to be someone else, hand work (except jerking)

What I Love: To understand reality, self-development, make people laugh, spirituality, to help developing something, abstract thinking, sex, humour, psychedelics, spiral dynamics, to explaining something interesting, to interview, to charm new people, to figuring something out, Leo's videos

 

And now, when we have so much information about our Hero, can we really suppose what he was created for?

Definitely, we can try.

Version #1: Stage Turquoise Shaman of the 21st Century

Here's why: a guy who values wisdom/truth/freedom/adventure/impact/communication/health/self-expression + have a top strengths as spirituality/curiosity and interest in the world/future-mindedness + wanting to help people realise the depth, richness and beauty of life + naturally talented as an abstract thinker, highly intuitive and "beliefs decomposer" (ENTP-type) + in love with spirituality, self-development, spiral dynamics and psychology + not giving a fuck too much on what people will think about him and his Life Purpose.

What God will get from it? I guess, these is really new territory at that point of human development, therefore it's something, which will bring human consciousness further to the realisation and actualisation of God-nature of Being and People, which seems to fit God's Plan.

My opinion: It's seems really fascinating for me, because spirituality and self-development REALLY motivates me towards life. And this scenario is the best way to practice it constantly. There's a risk, with that type of flaws, to become a cult leader, so I'll need to understand really deep things like epistemology and cult-dynamics. 

 

Version #2: Spirituality Promoter

Here's why: The culture is groans in pain and asking to be filled and reconnected with spirituality: mass shootings, depressions, meaninglessness, racism, addictions, greed and etc. are become obvious problem at these days and people need Spirituality like a glue for culture. Therefore, we need somebody charismatic and skilled as a Debator to rebuild bridges between Culture and Spirituality. Consciousness work really need some PR-agents, Stand-Up Comics, Journalists, Movie Directors, Marketologists.

What God will get from it? Same point, that in the first Version

My opinion: That sounds also nice, but lack of deep spiritual work, which are available in the first version. But it's seems cool for me to be Consciousness Comic.

 

What your thoughts and feeling on that post?

Do you agree on my versions or do you have other one?

@Ar_Senses Very good self-analysis there.

[Key Elements]

Very interesting topic, very interesting title, and interesting analysis.

When we wake up to start our day, we're still in the ass. What happens is, we start off without a body and external environment, No-self, no-ego, and when we get embodied, we go through this black hole/singularity (I almost said butthole, lol). We go through the day as the ego. If you don't want to be the ego anymore, then do something within this lifetime so that you could be aligned with no-self, peace, love, bliss, etc. Contribute to end of suffering for all in this 'dream.'

@Leo Gura Thanks!

Can you please help me with these couple questions:

My top 5 things at which I suck/weaknesses (done Authentic Happiness test 3 times with annual break between each) are very important for my self-actualisation, LP and consciousness work:

Quote

Modesty and Humility / Industry Diligence and Perseverance / Self-control and Self-regulation / Citizenship, Teamwork, Loyalty / Сaution and Providence

1) What is the best strategy to work with those? I'm really confused, because there's a paradox within that theme - I'm intuitively thinking, that those things are not just flaws, it's like the reverse of the medal of my strengths, but at the same time it's feels impossible to get There without such a crucial qualities. P.s. If there's a book in the booklist, can you please DM me the name of it?

2) At the Hero's Journey what is the stage, when Hero facing that his own weaknesses are preventing him from getting the Holy Grail? Is that "supernatural patronage", "belly of the whale" or anything else?

3) The Hero feels that it's almost impossible for him to overcome that obstacle. What at that point helps him to retrieve motivation and overcome that obstacle?

It's okay to have weaknesses. We all have them. They are only a problem if you let them get out of hand.

I wouldn't try to turn your weaknesses into strengths but rather patch them up enough till they aren't wrecking your life. Then focus on your strengths.

2) At the Hero's Journey what is the stage, when Hero facing that his own weaknesses are preventing him from getting the Holy Grail? Is that "supernatural patronage", "belly of the whale" or anything else?

Belly of the Whale or Threshold Guardians.

Quote

3) The Hero feels that it's almost impossible for him to overcome that obstacle. What at that point helps him to retrieve motivation and overcome that obstacle?

That's pretty vague. It could be various things.

But just speaking in gross generalities here: the hero's ultimate obstacle is the ego. So in the Belly of The Whale is where he faces his greatest enemy: himself. The ego is broken down through intense suffering, the old hero dies, a new hero is reborn, and then it is this new hero who slays the dragon.

Facing your own death is another way to put it.

Super interesting ! 

I also read some of ur other posts here !! So inspiring !! I even reread a particular one when looking for muse hahaha !!

Hats off !!

U sound like an expert on yourself (I don't mean existentially , which u might be given that u buy into Leo's explanation of God/reality esp as communicated in his latest vid.. if so I hope it's not just added beliefs for u or even subtle impressions on the subconscious mind.. or confirmation bias.. anyhow , guess ure already aware of that )

So yea I must say it's pretty impressive how well u actually know yourself.. "in terms of self concept " ,seemingly !

I'd love to know what helped u with that.. I'm trying to improve in this area n the lp course is helping so far.. I'm still in the concepts section tho so I dunno if it's gonna be enough as I continue to get to know myself aka my top values / strengths / weaknesses...etc !!

 

So what helped u become an expert on yourself ?!

 

Also another question I've been wondering abt.. we r constantly changing so in say 20 years if u r to look back at this post for instance.. how much of it would u still resonate with n relate to ?!

 

Do our top values change ?! What's the dynamic here ?!

 

One of the stuff blocking the way of getting to know myself more cuz I have that _probably_ belief that we're constantly changing so it's pointless anyways ?!

 

I'd also love to hear ur thoughts on this !

@Leo Gura If we are talking about Life Purpose and Self-Actualization work, that won't be the final death of the Ego, more like peel off one onion layer, right? Is that like that situation when you've faced that you should leave you career as a Game Designer, because it's won't bring you what you want in life? At that point image "Leo Successful Game Designer" were ruined.

Please, correct me, if I'm wrong:

While my personal flaws are all about self-control, self-efficacy, industry, teamwork and providence, I should:

1) Deepen my understanding of that sphere of life with self-help material in that category, maybe take some courses

2) Strategize my Vision and think it through, to avoid situations in which I suck the most

Leo talking about that stuff for so long, that we already can't count. He more like Salesman here, who successfully pitched the idea, but the sense of God aren't builds only on Leo words, thank God for psychedelics, my abstract thinking and nature!

LP course is super useful to become an "expert of yourself". You'll know not only your values, impact statement, zone of genius and strengths, but also weaknesses, fears, traumas and beliefs. It's the most easiest way that I know - system already structured, you only need to go on and do all the exercises.

Videos, Books, Journaling, LP Course, Conversations, Psychotherapist, Girlfriends and Friends, Asking Questions, Psychedelics, Literature, Genuine intention to become fulfilled and happy.

It'll be explained in LP course + watch video Understanding Meaning, Purpose, & Value

Values grow and evolve as you are. As I've get it, the whole spiral dynamics are based on evolution of human values. At Tear 1 Stage-Beige is all about individual basic survival needs, at Tear 2 Stage-Yellow it's also about individual survival needs, but individuality moved from one person to all humanity and Earth, and resources for survival not food and shelter, but information and understanding. The same thing with Stage-Purple and Stage-Turquoise, but instead of primitive spirits of Forest and Wind, there's a deeper understanding like energy, quantum physics, nonduality etc.

So the point of knowing your own top values is in navigating yourself toward life and decision making. Of course, values can be changed and we should remember that those are just concepts, but you always value something, question is are you aware of it or not.

Oh I like that ! I remember once I heard someone classify values as good/junk values n it didn't really resonate with me.. it was mostly deeming the lower stages' values as juck values.. but I think this is a better suggestion to see it.. anyhow I'm still tryina figure it out

 

 

N yea I've watched that vid before.. It's one of my favorite ! 

 

Thx.. I'll keep that in mind
