@Leo Gura Do you have tricks for your focus? I struggle with it a lot too. I supposedly have ADD, even though it's just a label I know I struggle with it more than average.

Beautiful. I was wondering. The quote in pink. Why does it hit you so deeply? What emotions are behind your crying? Is it relieve? pain? suffering? Or just because it's such a beautiful quote?

I have been struggling with this one. Does everyone have a life purpose? Oftenly I read on this forum how everyone has a life purpose and that we should just tune into our selves more to find out what it really is. But then I started thinking... Not everyone has a clear vision / mind. What about people with mental or physical disabilities? Due to genetic diseases or whatever? Why are they put on this earth? They don't seem to have the capabilities we have, the amount of potential we have, to strive and thrive. Some people are just stuck in their body with no way out. Literally. And what about those people who don't have / get a chance at all? People in third world countries who's only worry is to stay alive and get food for the day? It's as if tuning into your "life purpose" is only given to people after meeting certain preconditions. I feel like the preconditions are money, living in a first world country, getting the chances they need, and being healthy in mind and body. I just have seen really sad cases of people with severe problems and severe diseases and it just seems so... unfair... If everyone is really put on this earth with a purpose... Then it just seems some people have it much much harder than others, if not impossible. Or am I missing something? I don't know. Could be lost in this one.

@ajasatya Thank you for your insights I am just in the very beginning of my spiritual and personal development journey. I am curious to what this path will throw in my plate

@ajasatya No, of course not. Just wanted to share my thoughts, maybe someone could add something to shed a different light. It's just easy to preach the right thing

@ajasatya What about these people?

Not really something to look up to

I will be following this! I wish you the very best an sincerely hope this will work out as you wish!! LOTS of luck, it won't be easy. And most importantly of all: don't give up!

You can easily generalize that question though. Why do anything? Why study (if you're a student)? Why go outside and sport? Because of motivation. I guess you just lack motivation

@Pouya Well, I am in kind of the same situation right now. I am trying to make meditation a daily practice but I feel like I lack motivation to do it. Maybe you don't see the real benefit of doing it? You need some instant gratification? The results aren't pleasing so you see no reason to continue doing it? I guess what only helps is to be aware of this and ignore your mind's tricks to confuse you and distract you. If it really doesn't work maybe it's too soon for you and you are forcing yourself too much.

@Pouya The ego

Well I've been trying to talk about the topic of enlightenment to my partner, but he says stuff such as "People like to believe in stories, right" Or just nods but doesn't really seem to catch any of his interest? My partner is very artistic and very creative. Also very empathic but sometimes I just can't get through him. It's as if he just doesn't believe in anything other than his own direct experience. Which surprises me due to his artistic nature. But he also suffers a lot, worries often, oftenly about other people but also he feels "lost" in life in general sometimes. And I feel like this path could help him tremendously but I feel like he is not open to it. What should I do? Just let it be and ignore it? Or try to approach it another way?

@Fairy @Fairy can you also cast fireballs or energy balls? Dragon Ball z style? Btw I am pretty intrigued.

How much does this cost?

@Fairy so what if you curse a person. How can he "uncurse" himself?

@Fairy so you are able to cast curses and spells?

Yes, it is a very low dose for your weight and size I take 15 grams and I weigh 60 kg Also I once did 7.5grams and could literally feel nothing because they were stored in the fridge for over a month you shouldn't keep them much longer than a week in my humble opinion

@Serotoninluv what if an enlightened individual gets drunk?

@Consilience exactly how I feel!

@Viking why would you stop believing in it?

@Aakash I'll second that but what would be good and what would be bad? And thank you for remembering me haha.

How do you overcome regret and bitterness? I went in Erasmus 4 years ago, and things happened that made me have feelings of intense regret and bitterness. Regret because I made a lot of wrong decisions during that period, and bitterness because I feel like those decisions were due to manipulation of someone I thought of as a good friend. Now I've been contemplating that period for a long time. And I realize a lot of the bad feelings is due to lack of acceptance of what is, and if my current situation. How do I overcome these feelings? It's in periods. But mostly when I feel goods these old feelings come back, and it takes me right back down and make me feel terrible in a matter of seconds. It can be due to triggers, or due to my mind just going there with no real reason.

@ajasatya i do see the value of it, while I wrote it, it is very good. But he just doesn't see any reason to *start*. But good idea. I will invite him!

@Smika thank you so much sweet soul!

@Charlotte thank you a lot for this response. I've been thinking about it and practicing it subconsciously since I read it. Didn't have time to practice what you advised, but will do when the time arises. Thank you so much <3 means a great deal to me.
