Equanimitize

@saint_charming7 How much of the 9 months do you have left to finish it out? Is it already paid for or are you on some sort of payment plan with the University?

An option is keep working on your consciousness muscle, by meditating for instance. Hard Work x Time = Next Level.

Can you give specific examples or an example of where you have to make a choice between one or the other? When it comes to habits, theres whats called habit gravity everything is trying to keep you on planet earth and to not go to outer space. Theres going to be resistance, but if you do the habit long enough there will no longer be resistance-it will be automatic to the point where you no loner need will power (rocket fuel) to get to outer space. So then you can use your rocket fuel for other habits you build. Of course you cant implement everything and so you have to figure out what is your best bang for the buck, what is your largest ROI right now at this point in your life?

That’s just the thing the subconscious mind isn’t able to parse that which is fed into it. So it’s constantly operating at a level that you are not aware of, if there is an option to proactively prime your subconscious so that you’re conscious action is able to run smoothly-maybe less ego backlashes then why not? Of course if you’re an enlightened master then this is all probably hogwash, but maybe it can be an effective tool. It definitely has me intrigued, I’d have to study a little bit more to find out exactly what it is. I’d also say that your subconscious mind is taking in the bullshit whether or not you want it to.

@Roch @111111 Indeed, this was my experience as well. I suppose it can at least show you were it is that you are going, what worlviews you will inevitably embody. @lmfao right on, it’s definitely not perfect.

@111111 The Daily Evolver is a solid yellow news source. There is a podcast as well. https://www.dailyevolver.com/ It is not like the typical CNN, Fox, etc. but they touch on the going ons of U.S. politics.

Do you think that he can be manifesting this reality into his own life because he has poor self-esteem, trauma, insecurities, poor conditioning, etc.? In other words the whole reason the wife is nagging him, eroding his self esteem, and making him feel like less of a Man is because deep down inside he may not be grounded as a Man, can it be that the Woman in the relationship is simply showing the Man a mirror of himself of how he feels about himself? I agree with this, however if you speak from the standpoint of Masculine/Feminine polarity, it is the job of the Masculine in the relationship to be the ground so to speak of the relationship. If a Man is conscious and grounded I would say that its difficult for these sort of things (cheating) to happen, and someone who is in their healthy masculine wont put up with unhealthy feminine and vice versa. I remember a time in my life where I was not grounded, I was a cluster, feeling sorry for myself, etc. and I distinctly remember my Wife snapping at me and "nagging" at me everyday when I would come home. Of course at the time my mindset was "why is she always doing this, or why is she always saying this, and just leave me alone" but what I didn't realize was that it was something that I created through my own limiting beliefs, insecurities, and not doing what needed to be done as a Man.

Definitely, sometimes there are deep insecurities stemming from trauma or some other experience in ones life that will contribute to going out and cheating. Sometimes the Man can be extremely grounded and congruent and for no fault of his own his partner cheats on him. However, the term extreme ownership comes to mind whenever I think of a woman cheating in the relationship. The Masculine energy being the one who takes full responsibility. The way I see it, it’s the job of the Man to ensure that his relationship is strong and congruent-if not he either needs to water the grass or find some new grass.

@Annoynymous I think it can be boiled down to the Man in the relationship or at least the Masculine energy-He is not being in his element, he is out of whack, he is not watering the grass, he is unconscious and not aware, he is probably a victim in some form or fashion. Of course this is not always the case, but the way I see it-Masculine energy is the foundation, if the foundation is shaky chances are the tower will tip over.

@zambize No problem Brother, my pleasure.

This is amazing too, transcending and including everything including fitness, body, athleticism, etc. Using this vehicle that was given to you and putting it to good use. Learning about Polymaths really peaks my interest. Thank you for the nice list.

I am trying to grasp this as well because it seems like a passive way to get some personal development work in, like @B_Naz said it sounds like a waterfall, ocean, etc. is this the norm? do they all sound like this? or are they actual affirmation audios that you normally hear? What is the difference between binaural beats, affirmations, and subliminals? Just by doing a little research it seems people are getting really solid results.

No matter what you do it'll be a learning experience. I personally Love putting the pedal to the medal. Of course the pedal to the medal is very subjective too. You'll take it really seriously once you start seeing how the trajectory of your life is changing. Yes absolutely, just remember half assness produces half assness results. With that being said I don't see a problem with getting your feet wet and taking your own time with things. Yeah probably, I think you're complicating this whole maze thing. Just go out and do the work, go out and do what needs to be done. Yes getting help from people multiplies results. You still have to embody what your teachers or mentors tell you, and you still have to go out and do the work and get feedback from the Universe. It's like asking should I travel from Brazil to Peru on the Amazon river without a map. Sure, you can do it, sure it may adventurous, sure it would be nice to find out on your own how to do it without a map, but then you have to worry about getting lost and animals eating you since you have never charted that territory. I think a better option is to learn all you can from multiple resources and find out what is working, which routes to take, etc. and then once you get the hang of everything maybe start charting your own territory. This is only my experience, everyone is different, take it for what its worth to you.

@kieranperez Another option is you can start flipping yesterday, check out Gary Vaynerchuck and how he goes to garage sales and then re-sells on Ebay, Amazon, OfferUp, Craigslist, you can also use Government Surplus auctions, Ross, Marshalls, Etc. I use to have a little side hustle of buying and selling gym equipment. It got to the point that I knew what would sell quickly, what was most in demand, etc. I would go to out of business crossfit gyms and buy the whole lot, and then resell as individual items. I was averaging about 2k a month and it wasn't my full time job. Whats cool about it is you can learn how to negotiate, how to sell, marketing, how to keep customers (I started collecting phone numbers and I had people that would contact me to see if I had items they were looking for), it was really great, but in the end for me wasn't sustainable over the long term due to working and having a family. You can do this with any items not just gym equipment. Hope this helps.

I'd also just like to add how important Sleep is!

Humans are amazing. Like the music too. Thanks @Sahil Pandit

Wow, incredible opportunity at a young age, just want to say good for you! I agree experiences are important, but one can also argue that you have plenty of time to be in relationships. Imagine if you keep diving deep into personal development work and you keep evolving as a human being how attractive you will be to your potential partner down the road. Once you love yourself, accept thyself, and continually grow thyself you will have a much better idea of what you want in a partner. With that being said, you can also argue that the relationship can teach you so much more then any book or "typical" personal development work can. I would say do both, develop yourself and continually do the work while simultaneously learning about relationships. If you see a girl your interested in just go ahead a talk to her-nothing better then getting direct feedback from girls and also communicating what you are into and what your passion is (personal development). It doesn't have to be an either or thing is all I am saying.

No problem, I appreciate you for giving me the opportunity to send out what has worked for me-this helps me learn as well. Thank you

@non_nothing I get what your saying here but sometimes you have to work for the “devil” in order to transcend him/her and become God. High conciousness jobs and ways of earning money don’t grow on trees-at least at our current state of evolution. Life purpose is important I agree, but what would you suggest in the interim? I mean don’t you still need to account for Maslows deficiency needs?

Just being aware that you know that you’re going through some sort of transformation or transition and that your ego is backlashing in of itself is sufficient enough for you to take the proper actions that need to be taken. As long as you can see what it is in truth (which it seems you can see what it is for what it is) Keep walking the edge, this is when you know you are growing when you do something for no other reason then it is difficult to do. Brene Brown talks about the vulnerability hangover when you say or do something courageous and in your mind you think “I shouldn’t have done that” or “what will they think of me.” Etc. etc. this in a nutshell is growth, and if it wasn’t challenging then everyone would be highly developed self actualized human beings.

The Goodreads app is great, gives me a place to store my digital library and “shelf them” according to subject. You can also track all the books you have read. Hoopla is a free audible like app that I set up the account from the local library. Tons of audible and digital books.

Right on, not everything in the course resonated with me 100%. People have different backgrounds, environments, cultures, genetics, etc. not everyone will have the same experience with everything in the course and everyone will resonate differently with the course material. I would say charge forward, and continue on. This is would I did at least, hope this helps.

I forgot to mention since you asked this question in the Life Purpose section-Not sure if you're taking or plan on taking the life purpose course but I would highly suggest taking the life purpose course or at minimum using other tools to figure out/find out what it is that can drive you. Theres freedom in knowing where it is that you are going.

Indeed it is a gift to start from scratch, each breathe you take is starting from scratch. It must have taken a lot of courage to get through the things you got through and congratulations on your beautiful child, what a blessing! I have found that anxiety appears when I am resisting something in the future that hasn't yet appeared in the present moment, some sort of trauma in the past triggered resistance which then leads to my anxiety. What I try to do when I have anxiety is to feel it fully without resistance, feel whatever arises and just bring your awareness to those sensations in your body wherever it is that the anxiety is coming from-for me I had a feeling in my chest area where I can feel the anxiety the most. If you can keep practicing this, it will help tremendously. Also, you can start contemplating what exactly is causing this anxiety? What exactly am I resisting? Why am I feeling this way? and if you can keep digging deep you will find your answers. Meditating and taking action is great, good for you and I would say continue this. "God helps those who help themselves." I would also say its ok to be lost, I have definitely been there before. I have found that the toughest times in life were such blessings, and the moments where I had to dig deep and figure things out were the very catalyst of my growth. You have to figure out what your biggest opportunity for growth is, in your personal life it is usually the thing that you are not able to talk about, it is the thing that you resist the most, it is the proverbial skeleton in the closet that you want to stay there forever, is the "part" of you that you never want to show the world. In order to move past this part of you that you "don't like" you have to include it. The best analogy I can give is imagine your baby is crying all the time and just wants you to acknowledge it, it just wants you to give him attention, as soon as you give him attention he stops crying. This is the same thing with personal development work in order to move past something you have to include it as part of you and accept it fully. This may mean that you need to get help from the outside, maybe hire a psychologist or life coach or mentor. You have to be ruthless and find answers because they are out there-and they will set you free. Lastly I would say one step at a time, "the joy is in the journey not the destination. " I hope this helps you and this advice is applicable to you, I am just sharing my own experience.

Thank You for reposting a post here. I was thinking of this.
