There is no bypass. Your only option is to tackle them head on. You don't get over things by running away but by dealing with them. Your egoic forces statement is just an excuse to give in to it.

Sometimes it can be a hard thing to accept there is no correct path and their path on living life is just as valid and correct as yours. Life is about living. You can't go wrong with it.

Life is a puzzle. Which option solves that puzzle best for you? Don't just think short-term, but think long-term. You can both go to university and seek truth. Your 'ordinary life' will adjust as you have more realizations. You'll just naturally desire to do things. Embodying the truths as you go. This is a journey, so no need to rush it.

Do whatever you want. Feel free to quit if you feel that's the best path for what you want.

Do not give them any answers. Enlightenment is a journey of self discovery. You can only encourage them to find it. Suffering is an essential experience. To hide that from them is limiting their self discovery.

Authenticity is about following the root of your desires, but even those are based on your experiences in life. There are some things you as an ego are born with to facilitate the programming of the mind but otherwise the subconscious learns and builds from scratch.

@Mikael89 Stop trying to defend your notions and go do the work to figure out what love is. You won't know what others is talking about until you have direct experience. Transcend rationality.

My ex-girlfriend (only ex cause I am moving) is the exact same way. When I started my journey and shared to her my realizations she loved to listen and think about it. A lot of the insights clicked with her too. She's also watched Leo and found a lot of advice to help her in her life. Her and a couple of my friends love talking about these kind of topics. Do I can reaffirm they are out there. I've had a year and two months of amazing memories. So glad you found someone too. ❤️

If I'm remembering correctly you've expressed negativity towards drugs on here before so it's really no surprise that you say this. Drugs come with risks yes. But all altered states of the mind are a part of the big picture. Just turns out some of them can help you zoom out to see the big picture better. You still gotta do the work but psychedelics can get you progresses faster initially than progress without it at all. Different methods work for different people. Your path is the answer and if drugs are involved its a part of it.

You have specific wants that you want fulfilled to enjoy a relationship. So this is ultimately an issue with you. Finding the ones that fulfill those wants are far and few in between but that'll probably be the case for most people. Work on your resistance to the qualities you don't like.

Just. Do. It. Stop bullshitting and making up excuses for your lack of action. It's like telling somebody to clean their room. You can say whatever but you just have to do it. You've built a habit you have to break. But you've also got to stop shrugging it aside or excusing it.

Bingo. Lots of social programming 'Give me a baby until age 7 and I'll show you the man' is a phrase said in reference for the first 7 years of life being the foundation programming.

Try to focus less on how you would express that to yourself and think more about how the minds of those around you think. They likely haven't done much personal development so look into their behaviors and culture. What acts are considered what varies by person. Since nobody is ever on the same level, there is no universal solution to this. You can say be caring, considerate etc but that is all vague and can be applied in a million different ways.

I remember watching a video on programming the subconscious and the guy in it mentioned a quote that was something like "Give me a child until age 7 and I will show you the man' Because the subconscious builds its program mostly within the first 7 years of life. It learns through repetition. We sort of work like neural network AIs. With this knowledge you can build habits and program yourself to follow your authentic desires.

Its about seeing it all as an integral whole. That everything has its place instead of resisting things that hasn't progressed to where you are now. Society will progress higher or die trying, but it can't do so instantly. Its a transition.

You are starting to notice the problems with stage green, you work towards yellow.

I don't think they are necessarily turning off pain at will but they are reprogramming the perception of it. Think of like the sensation of having your back scratched. You could probably experience that and be ok with it for hours. The difference between that and pain? How the sensations are interpreted.

A lot of delusion comes from the XY problem: http://xyproblem.info/ Somebody may ask: "How do I make money?" Thinking it will be a solution to their happiness but in actuality it won't truly make them happy. But they proposed their own solution instead of getting to the root of what they want. They want to be happy and making money isn't a suitable solution to that. We are always running away from the roots of our desires and covering it up with bullshit.

I find it interesting that you label it as 'betrayal' and you also paint it as if your own body is attacking you. You are painting yourself as a victim of yourself. You're gonna have to stop this if you want to get anywhere. You can't keep victimizing yourself when things don't go your way.

Joe Rogan had a bit where he explained this.

Not at all. You just simply have not realized this truth. You still operate under conditional love, but that conditional love derives from unconditional love. When you realize unconditional love you will realize this as the word 'love' as Leo said previously.

See now you are projecting what you as an ego would do onto God. You harbor resistance and negativity to suffering and that is what makes this hard for you to accept. God unconditionally loves itself. God IS sadism. God IS suffering, God IS murder, God IS rape, God IS pleasure, God IS luck, God IS happiness, God IS laughter, God IS EVERYTHING. This is what it means to be infinite, to be everything possible. To experience everything possible. You are no better than a murderer. Suffering isn't wrong and isn't bad. That is a projection onto reality. When somebody dies it is equivalent to somebody dying in a book yet see we have this detachment that lets us enjoy such stories, but we are no different to God. Loving isn't easy, but at the end of the day all that you hate and reject is you and you either come to terms with that or run away in denial. Nobody said the implications of oneness were all rainbows and unicorns, thats just half of the story. Infinity cannot be infinity if it cherry picks.God (You) will know what it is like to be infinite and you will experience all the suffering that could possibly be imagined and beyond. Watch this and let it sink in:

How could consciousness unconditionally love if it did not love the parts of itself that expressed struggle and suffering? With infinite suffering comes infinite pleasure and everything in between and outside it. It unconditionally loves ALL of it. What you are thinking of is conditional love. But see infinity could not happen if God expressed conditional love, it would be rejecting a part of itself.

You said it is not an illusion the proceeded to describe an illusion. That perception of separation is the illusion. Separation only exists if you perceive it. Its like taking a painting and only looking at a small box inside the painting then calling that something separate. It doesn't change the oneness of the painting. So the self = everything. Identifying as a small subset of itself isn't a true representation of it.

Where you get upset shows exactly where you need to heal. You give people people the power over you you don't want them to have. You see, you are in control of your actions, and thats what gives you the power to choose what has power over you. They present you fantasies that aren't reality. 'I'm going to fuck your mom' Yeah he can say that but is he gonna? That would be rape and he would go to prison, so safe to say no. The key here is when you get upset you gotta catch yourself before you respond, think it out. Don't just follow your emotions like a lost dog.
