What should i do RIGHT NOW then Leo??

[kireet]

yesterday I was watching the 65 principles to live a good life by Leo and i remember somewhere in the last few principles , there was a principle to master basic survival and livelihood. Then he goes on to say that many kids who have been pampered since childhood , they dont know how to hunt in the real world , so they use these topics and enlightenment and psychedelics as an excuse . TBH i am somewhat like that and i completely agree that if being a lion we cannot hunt  ,then how can we enlighten if we cant even hunt (which is like a lions main job!) . then what should i do now ?? should i watch enlightenment videos youtube (asking becuase i do watch alot of them) and do the practices daily ......or should i maintain my meditation practice ?? should i only do self actualization work and study about that ?.... please advice . I am 17 (for reference , if it helps)

No. First get money, get your own apartment and learn about the world. Build your skills. Do do-nothing meditation and regular meditation daily, as your only spiritual practice. Make sure your career and life purpose is going strong. Learn to be a good devil and learn to take your responsibilities. Learn how to get good with women. Make sure you are not addicted to porn or any drugs. Build a strong, clean life and then pursue enlightenment if you really want when you approach 30. Thats what I'm gonna do anyways, I'm also still young. Right now im just focusing on myself. 

So to round it up, just build skills, get money and do meditation. And some partying and fun stuff on the side. Live a normal youngsters life. If you make it to 30, go for enlightenment. and if you don't, well you will be enlightened anyway since you're dead. Good luck! And of course decide for yourself don't take my word for it.

But I can't stress enough, BUILD SKILLS!!!! if you want to stand on your own feet, A.k.a. hunt like a lion, you need skills.

Rules from the Core Principles

53 - Satisfy your base needs so that you stop craving. Water, food, money, sex, etc.
54 - Master your basic survival and livelihood.

Basic survival needs to be mastered first, because how are you gonna self-actualize if you're homeless? You gotta get your foundation built before moving onto the big stuff. 

Easier said than done though, I'm in the same position as you at 17 years old and I'm trying to find ways to make money right now.

[Leo Gura]

@kireet Given your age and consequent immaturity and lack of development, you should focus on learning the basics of survival in a healthy way. Spend the next 5 to 10 years mastering self-reliant survival.

You can still do a bit of spiritual practice along the way. And you can always contemplate stuff and study theory for the future.

Most humans on this planet work 40 hours per week AND they go to church every Sunday (or whatever their local equivalent of Sunday church is). So it's not like spiritual growth requires you to stop working. Most people have day jobs AND do a bit of spiritual growth. Why can't you?

Education is something you do every week for the rest of your life, on top of whatever else you're doing.

@FlowerNote i also may do the same .. do you already have a detailed plan and strategy ??  i also need to learn to socialize and party like normala teenagers cuz i am an introvert rn , maybe i will try pickup in the future , its also important , i guess.

@Osaid true and probably its also very tough.

@Leo Gura  should  i reduce my amount of my study about this metaphysical stuff , its currently very much right now like 2 - 4 hrs /day and replace it with business study and study of marketing .  do you consider going to church on sunday as spiritual growth or was it there to justify the following statement? what age should i set as my goal to achieve financial freedom and focus fully on spiritual growth.

@kireet Look man, you are the CEO of your life. You figure out what you want, when you want it, what order your want it in, and what is required to get.

My job is to share profound insights about how reality works. My job is not to tell you how to live.

@Leo Gura how did you find your area of specialization?

That's what my Life Purpose Course guides you how to do.

@kireet Nofap can help, you will want to get laid so bad that you will force yourself to socialize. Being an introvert just means you need more alone time, it doesn't mean you cant socialize. The golden rule for socializing is: authentic + relatable. Talk about shit you find interesting, but make it fun for everyone.

A good strategy what I'm doing, is to make a dream board, and make a bubble for every area of life you want to enjoy/develop. Then for each bubble, make 5 year goals. from those 5 year goals make 1 year goals. From those make monthly goals. and then start putting action steps for those goals in your weekly/daily planning. make all the action steps slowly work towards your 5 year goals. Also, try make the goals & action steps depend only on your actions. My 1 year goal with pickup might be, get laid 3 times. but my monthly goal will be a certain number of approaches. So if i hit my goal of approaches that month, it wont matter if I had any success or not. And don't forget to enjoy the process. Good luck bro!

@kireet look up Shunyamurti and his talks about the creeping armageddon. The supreme one needs helpers in times of tribulations so it's very important to change your direction and stop falling for fictional forms of security. That's what I'm doing right now as a young person and I'd like to advise the same thing. I may sound like a stupid person but I know that these predictions are true. What really matters in the end is whether you served God or chose the illusion. If you think there's no judgement in the end then you're going to be pretty disappointed.

@kagaria thanks for the advice!

@FlowerNote i have tried no fap , but honestly its very difficult to do , its does not feel good to do it . i just feel like an fully inflated balloon just ready to explode , that's why i gave  it up . in the second part of your answer are you telling about the law of attraction  and techniques basically ?? i am already planning to work on daily visualizations .

@Leo Gura btw is there a substitute for LP course , i was genuinely saving alot of money  , but needed to give it away for family reasons. 

[FlowerNote]

@kireet I can't tell you if nofap will work for you. It worked for me. But if you haven't tried 60 days you don't know how it works for you.

Yep visualization is cool. But the most important thing is to just take action. Find what you want, set your goals and action steps and act them out. a simple strategy. The effort lies in the actually doing of it and staying consistent with your vision.

[kireet]

@FlowerNote true . if it worked for you ... then i think i will also try again maybe for more days (60 , if you say) last time i did for 20 days

Don't mislead the kid with your doom and gloom.

Let him live his life without your fearmongering.

@Leo Gura It's okay if our values don't match. I was trying to put things into perspective

Lol.  I'm not a genius, but recommend try to a find a career path that interests you and got on that trail. That's what's key at a young age. I'm 19 and that's what I'm doing and it hasn't failed me yet. I've already made some money fixing peoples computers. As long as your survival is well rooted everything else is whatever you want. There may be lots of failure. I've fucked up a lot so far. But shit. The world is your oyster. And I feel old as hell. I'm not even 20 yet, but I feel old as hell.But  Don't take my advice though because I'm still trying to figure shit out and feel like a young old man.

I wasn't ever actively into spirituality or on the path towards enlightenment as it was something I wanted to pursue in the future and I was more focused on gaining financial independence and other things 

but I was guided towards understanding the law of attraction spiritually by the universe (lol) and I'm already seeing amazing results from it! I had previously used LOA in its stage orange form but understanding it beyond is even more useful 

For me personally atm, letting my spirit/energy guide me is giving me far bigger results than letting my ego solely guide me (It doesn't mean sitting there and being lazy either dw ) 

Ofc as others have said focusing on basic self-help and life purpose should be your priority 

but see what works for you in achieving that!  

 

[kireet]

@diamondpenguin some part of every advice can be helpful bro ,dont worry,i don't take someone else advice blindly anyway tho and i sincerely hope you do well in the future.(as another young  person)

@Moondo you have some resources about LOA ?? i havent have had much experience in it , and thanks for the advice
