guys i was wondering how accurate some of the black mirror episodes are to some spiritual work ? if you haven't seen it, i highly recommend it for the society naysayers, futurists, creatives, intellectuals, etc This sounds interesting.

@charlie cho yep. Your right. A person is not heartless just because they are a warrior. They are simply trying to survive. And they deserve respect.

@charlie cho yep that story makes sense. Our environment has a huge impact on us

My journey has just begun When I woke up, the first thought in my mind was Why do I feel so scared and frightened? Why is life so frightening?

I know it's hard. I'm trying still. Spend your money on quality therapy (you know, a qualified person working under an ethical framework), a mindfulness course or two, a nice weekend away, lots of ice pops.

Thanks for making this post. I don't know who said that quote. But it's a very wise one. In so many days I found at least one good thread in the meditation subforum which looks like a no nonsense thread. I always feel like when my basic needs are not met, I tend to behave in animalistic ways where I toss out lofty ideals of character out of the window So it's right. When our lower chakra needs are not met, we can't truly invest in higher purpose and great character. It's not like it's impossible, but it's difficult. For example if my survival is in danger, I could care less about Decency and punch a person in the face if that person was threatening my survival.. Our basest survival is where our greatest virtues are tested. That's the basis of abuse. That's where it begins. But when a rich cushy person who never had to struggle much in life and had a privileged existence lectures me on how I need to be Divinely forgiving and cute and sweeter than sweet, that's what I find deeply hypocritical. Because I want to see how those same people would respond if they were made to suffer in similar ways. Once when I was assaulted on a bus by a guy trying to get his hands on me, I fought back hard and pushed him off. I hate when people looked at me and thought I was too harsh. No. I was simply trying to survive and not get hurt. It sucks when people judge you but don't understand your struggles.

Lmao, the dating section is already on fire and Leo be like "lemme release some videos on this".. So cute.

I AM NOT ENLIGHTENED. (AND it's okay.)

Some books and courses here and there as well. But no daytrading. I stay away from it. That's not where I invest my money. My money is for learning and growth. Daytrading is like greed though.

@Ananta I'm sorry you had to suffer like that. I hope you are doing fine now. Please get as much rest as you can. Hugs. ?❤️?

Reality is a big mindfuck. Like, didn't I know that?

Loneliness and Solitude are two different things. Solitude is something that you enjoy whereas loneliness is something you don't. But since it's difficult to socialize,stick with a few friends who want to be around you and leave the rest Try to be emotionally independent as much as you can since this is one of the greatest survival skills in the modern world. It's tough mate, I know Hang in there and invest in self love and self compassion. Do activities that takes your mind of the need of having people, do little things that make you happy. Do nerdy stuff like reading books. T Such habits are absolutely essential in a world of distorted social relationships. Put your introversion to good use so that it benefits you and becomes a rewarding rather than a punishing experience

Then you should definitely watch this video from Leo

@abrakamowse The only time that I paid money was for Leo's Life purpose course because it was worth paying for. Any other investment of money is nonsense

The stock fell 80% in the last five days, its worst weekly performance on record. The people who bought stocks made a poor decision.

An endeavor..

I've never liked people who go into verbose descriptions of what they like or don't like. Like come to a point. You can say lack of articulation skills can be a good reason to defend going in circles, writing huge amount of context, where a little would be sufficient, never coming to the actual gist of it. Driving the reader crazy. Nobody has time to read novels and encyclopedias on regular things in life

I'm going to collect all of my insights and practices and condense them in this journal.

In a way it's right. Better take charge when you are young than regret later. Life is far more practical than magical

You can talk to me in pm buddy.

Look in Craigslist in therapy categories

When is the book coming out?

When you will do very deep meditation for a long time like many years, you will realize that happiness is different from pleasure. It's the first realization on the path of spirituality.
