Female/Male begins to break down once you begin to talk about enlightenment. Many teachers that "focus exclusively on developing the feminine" fall into "new age' and not enlightenment/non-duality. There are many "new age" resources on the feminine spiritual life. But here are some female resources that combine enlightenment and femininity in their work: Meagan Moon - Her work is really poetical and metaphorical (really feminine approach), sounds very new age but the foundation of all of her work is non-duality. Boho Beautiful Meditation & yoga from a (feminine) perspective. Her work is solid. Allie Michelle - She integrates non-duality and femininity with grace. She has 100000's of young girls who are following her and look up to her for guidance. There are tons of girls in their teens and 20's who are getting into non-duality because of her influence. It's interesting to watch. The Perception Trainers She reminds me so much of Leo. haha She digs really really deep into things you would usually never think about. She often speaks about eating disorders and body image which are her more female oriented topics. She doesn't play around with lies or deception. She destroys them. Annie Tarasova Once in a while, she makes really trippy non-duality content. haha Teal Swan - She breaks the ego down layer by layer. I learned a lot about how my own brain works as a woman through her work. Krystal Arayani - She teaches about feminine spirituality from a Hindu perspective. I am reading her new book now "Awakening the Goddess". Lisa Cairns Female non-duality speaker who sometimes speaks about non-duality from the perspective of a woman Emerald Of course haha I could think of a ton more femininity resources but they fall into "new age" more than enlightenment.

Do everything that you love without putting an age limit on it. Don't worry about what is "normal". Try new things. Go into your town and do activities you haven't done before.

My childhood was a living hell.

I thought I knew but I have to think about this.

Because the mind forgets. Quickly! The dream-state is extremely powerful. The dream state is like a song that pulls all of humanity into a trance. Many people who have watched that video about "Strange Loops" have already forgotten and went back to sleep.

Why do you think you are red and not orange? Orange is extremely self centered too. What is making you red?

The dance between the "man" and the "woman" pushes us into duality. It's a "duality" that symbolizes "oneness". It's a paradox. "Men" and "Women" becomes complicated once you pass orange stage. Orange stage men and women are what we usually see in culture. But then things start to get funky at green, yellow and turquoise. Where green stage men are more compassionate and loving than orange stage women. It becomes super funky. I think we are far far far away from fully understanding the duality between men/women. Even within the enlightened communities. The shadow is really thick. And we are babies just learning how to walk.

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

You are young. Many people don't start connecting to life and their purpose until their death bed.

Charisma and confidence are attributes that walk on a narrow bridge. There are some people with charisma and don't even realize it - they aren't thinking about it. And there are some people with charisma who are carefully manufacturing an ego that appears charismatic to other people - in order to gain something in return. And sometimes there is a mix between the two. It gets really messy where "intention" comes into play.

I have never told my parents that "I am not a Christian". They would kill me. Like damn me to hell. No kidding. And I haven't told them for ..... 6 years? And we are cool. My lifestyle is barely any different since I am boring as hell. haha They have no reason to ask. I talk about philosophy with them and speak about Christianity with them but more "mystically". I "point them to the moon" if that makes sense. The Bible has a ton of non dual concepts. And most of our conversations about the Bible are on those non-dual topics. It's something we still have in common. And when I moved out, they only see me during holidays. So it's not something I think about. Our lives are extremely separate now. It's optional to come out. But if it will make you feel better to come out, then do it.

A monastery is still in the maya. haha There's no leaving it.

Is this a green stage soup? haha

Have you tried going to business networking events in your community? Or entrepreneurship conferences?

Life only gets boring and pointless when you have the crown chakra activated - and the heart chakra and root chakra are not activated. The crown chakra is infinity. The heart chakra is being grounded in love and compassion. And the root chakra is being grounded in the maya and in non-judgement towards the material world. The imbalance of these 3 turns people into zen devils or into nihilistic ghosts.

I don't think you are realizing how much you agree with Jordan Peterson. He is doing the same thing as you are suggesting. It's just Peterson's methods of "keeping the ego in check" suck. haha That's it. But he is ultimately trying to do the same thing you are suggesting. He sees this huge problem too. As the world goes into nihilism, we need structure......but "where" and "who" will create the structure? Jordan Peterson is suggesting to create the structure from tradition, stories, and mythology. Which sucks. haha But it doesn't mean he doesn't see the big picture. Quote from Nietzsche which I feel is the spirit and the soul behind Peterson's anxiety and fear: "...For when Truth battles against the lies of millennia there will be shock waves, earthquakes, the transposition of hills and valleys such as the world has never yet imagined even in its dreams. The concept "politics” then becomes entirely absorbed into the realm of spiritual warfare. All the mighty worlds of the ancient order of society are blown into space—for they are all based on lies: there will be wars the like of which have never been seen on earth before. Only after me will there be grand politics on earth" . I would recommend watching the second debate between Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris. It puts Jordan in a better light regarding his agenda. Peterson's foundation comes from the blue stage viewpoint of "human nature is corrupt without an external source" Peterson needs someone to challenge him on this. But he is not completely blind. He just fell into a hole that he needs help out of. Sam Harris can't help him out of this hole. He needs someone else.

This. Peterson has great material. I am a huge fan of his work. It's great stuff. But don't follow him blindly either. He falls into loop holes often. Think for yourself.

Cool!

One of the "curses" of this path, is that you will see with crystal clarity how much people are suffering. Your friends are suffering, your parents are suffering, your siblings are suffering, your lover is suffering, your boss is suffering, the strangers you meet on the street, etc. It is my least favorite part. It's a horror film. And you will see the suffering in celebrities, suffering in your leaders, suffering in everyone you used to "look up to". It is the end of competition. The end of comparing yourself to other people. The end of seeing people on a hierarchy scale.

Sounds like Michelle Phan. She did the same thing. Left youtube 8.9 million subscribers and went into the woods to find herself. And hasn't posted since then.

I am interested in past lives too. haha My mind dismissed it as "woo woo" in the past. No pun intended.

I am in my 20's too but I don't think death is a "long way ahead" anymore. I won't go into details but I almost died last year. We could have died today. We could have died last week or last month. But instead, we are breathing. It's beautiful. Another day is experienced. Fear of death becomes more powerful in our subconscious mind when we think death is "far away" into the future. Thinking "death is for old people" or "death is far away" makes us take life for granted. It makes death this scary monster at the end that will come for us. Versus something that can happen to anyone at any moment regardless of age - which is actually closer to reality. The thought "I could have died 5 seconds ago. But instead, I am still here, breathing, healthy, alive , able to experience more." The replacement of fear with gratitude and wonder.
