I'm not sure there is any advice for this. Do you. Let them do them. Keep a healthy distance from trolls.

It's very hard to quantify something like this. I wouldn't worry about trying to quantify it. Rather focus on your unique discovery process. However long it takes will be worth it. And it's going to depend on how much effort you put into it.

It all depends on how good you are at business. Many life coaches make zero because they cannot find clients. Other life coaches who develop a system for finding clients can make low 6 figures. Someone like Tony Robbins makes tens of millions because he established an massive brand. It's best not to even think of him as a life coach. He a major business guy. Life coaching is not different than any other small business. You have to be good at sales and marketing to be successful. If you think clients will just come to you, think again. The hardest part of life coaching is not the coaching, it's creating a steady stream of clients. Most life coaches fail for this reason. But then again, most businesses fail for this reason.

That's your confusion right there. You have spent your whole life trying to gain advantage for yourself, but you are not even real. This work is not about helping yourself out. This work is about realizing you are not real. What you're looking for is Love, but Love is not found in meaning, it's found in being and selflessness. Your problem is that you are fundamentally addicted to selfishness, which disconnects you from Love. Meaning is part of your selfishness which you must learn to let go. You are desperately avoiding emptiness. Yet emptiness is the only thing that can ever satisfy you. So you're stuck in a catch-22.

Cut such people out of your life. Simple. Unless you're making it up as an excuse. In which case that's your shadow at work.

Being is prior to meaning. Just let it go. What you really want is being, not meaning.

Even experiences of human connection are still shallow compared to metaphysical realizations. When you are infinite you are connected to the whole universe. There are good reasons why serious yogis and monks go celebate.

@ChristianGermany81 I appreciate your enthusiam but this would involve so much work it would be a full time job and tedious as hell. It is not feasible and I don't have time for it. Sorry.

One and two are one. And two.

@This is the end That's fine, but there is a higher level where you lose interest in such human games.

As if there is anything else one could talk about, LOL.

No! Love is the only thing that exists. Love is an absolute and has no opposite. You should know these things as least conceptually from watching my videos. Tsk, tsk.

That's the paradox. The only solution to evil is to realize it doesn't exist. Which can only happen by doing what it says in my sig. Evil is a problem of perception, not material fact. This is what people do not want to understand. Therefore evil seems so pervasive.

Depends on how you're going about it.

Forgive him father, for he knows not what he says.

I said that precisely to disturb your naive notion that love requires saving people. That is a shallow understanding of love. Liberation means I don't have to do anything. Liberation means I could kill a baby and still realize I am love. Love is not limited to human survival requirements, ideals, morals, or good or bad actions. Love is absolutely unconditional. My job is to share insights about reality. To try to save people would make me attached to outcomes in an unhealthy way and be the opposite of liberation, leading to devilry. It would be wise to notice that when you try really hard to do good, you end up creating evil. Which is why the wisest people do not feel a need to save anyone.

Like I said, many dangers in this work. Ideas are tricky things. Gotta be very careful with them. It is important to keep oneself grounded in real life experience. Otherwise armchair philosophy runs amok. If you think you have great ideas, go put them to the test by creating the things you're talking about. You will quickly discover how foolish your "great ideas" probably were. Real life will poke holes in all your great ideas.

That is the problem. It's all too easy to sit around and come up with ideas, which lead to ideologies, which to suffering amd death of millions. Go actually create a hierarchy that works in the real world so you have some inkling of how they work and what function they serve. How can you improve a thing which you have no experience creating? It's like a guy giving advice to an aerospace engineer about how to design a rocket, but he's never even designed a toy airplane. This is the mark of an amateur. If you actually create a productive organization you will see how difficult all these things are and how all your lofty ideals fly out the window.

It is not my job to save people.

Goooood! Now you're starting to understand how serious survival is. You ain't gonna transcend survival as easy as you thought. If it was that easy, everyone would have done it and the human race would not exist. Notice the irony that the thing you wish would go away is the very force which resulted in your birth. It's like you're standing on a rug and trying to pull it up from under your feet at the same time. Denial of the sex drive is not the same as transcendence of it. My suggestion would be to continue your spiritual practice and engage in sex mindfully rather than deny it. Then maybe one day you will outgrow it as the natural result of your spiritual practice. Maybe.

Be careful with such armchair philosophy. All such proposals could impact millions of lives in negative ways. Before you get stuck on some pet idea, go create something that works in the real world. It's too easy to sit behind a computer and think you have the answers to the world's problems. This is one of the dangers of this work.

So make it simple and natural then. That of course is all part of the work. You have to customize this work to fit yourself. Doing this work mechanically or out of a sense of obligation will backfire. The key to spirituality is finding ways to make it seamlessly integrated with your way of life. Not as something gym exercises you force yourself to do once a day, just so you can fall right back into asleep once the timer rings. Ask yourself, "What would it look like for me to live a conscious lifestyle naturally?", "What would it look like if I lived consciously all the time and it was something naturally did, not something I forced myself to do? How would I think, emote, speak, behave?"

You're not appreciating how serious this work is. We are talking here about attaining immortality. So yeah... you should expect a high cost. It seems like what you need is 10 years of basic self-help work. Not awakening. You've jumped in the deep end when you should be in the kiddie pool right now. Awakening will destroy your whole human life. If you don't like that idea, don't pursue it. You have to WANT to give up your human life. Again, the topics I talk about are extremely advanced for most people. Just because you hear me on YT don't get the idea that this stuff is intended for random casual audiences. The stuff I talk about is like advanced college-level calculus, while most people still haven't learned algebra.

@Khron What thoughts are arising which are making you feel depressed? You gotta contemplate and investigate more honestly the source of your depression. Depression is not just a passive state, it's something the mind is actively doing. So observe yourself doing it and study what your mind is doing and why it's doing it. Spend week observing and writing down your internal self-talk. What are you saying to yourself about life such that it's making you feel depressed? Don't tell us, find out first for yourself.

@capriciousduck No one can tell you what you want. What do you want? Answer this for yourself and then go about creating it every day.
