@beastcookie the comprehensive answer: throughout the spiritual journey, there could be thousands upon thousands of opinions, ideas, and perceptions, the thing is that the most stupid thing for us is to take everything blindly without our first-hand experience of that abstraction/concept! for instance, someone could read dozens of legit books about reincarnation and he might get an idea of the reincarnation but it's not that simple to form a mental image in the mind about that and then believing into that for the rest of life. what I really love to recommend for this certain situation is to clear your mind from any abstractions that are taught in any book or video, and prioritize the very own direct experience which is beyond any mental image/imagination/visualization/over-conceptualization! only learn the basics of consciousness work which are more practical and implement them to reach the hands-on experience!

stop investing your time and energy on the thing that is volatile, turn your own life to an adventurous game instead!

those two could be both true on a case by case basis. but the second case which you pointed out the needs as a construction of the mind, in that case, it's brutally hard to break free of! (but being hard doesn't mean it's impossible) I think the logical and more practical way would be meeting those needs along the consciousness works that is being done and let yourself see what will it will bring for you in the meantime! (of course, moderation is the key) suppressing your needs can hinder and set back your further consciousness development, be on the lookout for that too!

seems like you have some extra agitation and you're not patient with the process. just let it go smoothly and don't panic along the way!

just do it, don't ask how, of course you can gain some pieces of knowledge but at the end of the day, it's you who should take an action and be head-on with the brutal work!

of course, you can do it with alarm but it's much better to wake up naturally by your own mental facility rather than something interrupting your sleep cycle. you can clear up your mind from thinking chains and intend to wake up at a certain time before sleeping and it works wonders if you do the work correctly!

if you're being lazy and work-shy and lying on the couch 24/7 and strolling around social media aimlessly and you think all things will work, in that case, yup that's self-deception! but if you're genuinely doing the real work and you have positive thoughts about the outcome so that's not some delusional thoughts, that means you're doing it properly. answering the marketing question, you should be blogging out of love and passion towards the subject, be creative in the process, not ruminating obsessive compulsively about how to turn your blog into a business, let it come naturally, of course, you can learn the ropes for knowing how to do it but if it doesn't work, don't force things and let it happen naturally along the way!

@Mind of a beast whatever! just remind yourself that you shouldn't escape the real work by thinking to yourself that you will find the solution in another book too! just do the real work which is studying for the freaking entrance exam PERIOD.

a prospective life coach wouldn't even bring up those questions here, be creative and know what fits your potential!

don't learn vocabularies independently, learn them inside a context or listen to so many materials that your head absorb those inside context automatically, let it be an automatic process and don't consciously get in the way of your subconscious and vocabularies! it knows how to absorb them!

don't force yourself to think, it's rewarding in terms of money and other stuff in future. just take a moment to think about this: which one of those are really fascinating to you and which one of those would you do without any pressure from your family, real life situation and so on and so forth and just the sake of your entertainment?

your writing was too ambiguous and complicated to imagine your situation. but here is the thing: do what you love, what brings the passion into your heart? what subject sets you in the flow state and you'd lose the sense of time when doing the work? that's your life purpose, other things are just nonsensical mind programs forced upon you!

take what you love, not what your parent forcing you to do! of course, you're free to listen to them too but then again it's your free will, if you want a best-quality of life, you should be doing what you love!

for the moment, entrance exam is the most important thing in this life phase of you! thinking about those other stuff are merely deception that exerted upon you by your EGO thinking that by achieving something in spirituality, you'd be performing in God-Mode! yes, you can still apply mindfulness and mindful meditation to your daily life just before starting to study. but beware that thinking obsessively and resisting the self-image of status quo won't change anything! you should gain traction/momentum by studying on a daily basis and whenever you've done enough of work, you'd see that your self-image improves automatically on its own.

you can still be expert but even learn from those courses which are considered for newbies! so don't think that just because you learned one course, you're good to go! (of course, you can be ready to push yourself when you think you're done but never think you're complete in terms of any knowledge)

it's beyond the shadow of the doubt that if you maintain yourself in that long session, your body starts to gain some primal energy to fix things inside!

why won't you let yourself to be a king?

if anything hurts your body from outside like the way you pose, your hunger, external temperature have a direct impact on the quality of your meditation! practice whatever position suits you, that'd be illogical to be in lotus and constantly thinking about the pain and numbness of your legs! there are various kinds of meditation: walking, lying, lotus, etc...

awareness brings syntropy including the numbers of the thing you glance at: hand watch, digital clock!

of course it's hard to do so, but don't give up and start small, don't remember: "many a little makes a mickle"

by not allowing them to enter my mind constantly! and haters and jealous people need love from you on a deeper level, knowing to how increase your vibration up to love is the best practice.

the problem with no fap society is that they thing every fuckin' problems and issues they run into in life is related to their constant wanking. I also am aware that sexual energy can be transmuted to another form of energy like motivation, but where's the motivation when you repress your sexual energy head-on? the no fap community don't want to take a sec to wonder to finally say: enough is enough! why am I blaming my sexual natural behavior this much and not to know otherwise? but still moderation also applies to this!

your outward hygiene reflects the way you are on the inside. if you don't respect yourself to clean and spray some perfume, why the heck would you expect another person do it for you? the more awareness, the more syntropy. the more unconsciousness, the more entropy!

throw away supplements. tell her it's just her belief and indeed a "spiritual-related limiting belief"! her situation is like a penny pincher who's constantly saves money and doesn't spend his money and wonders why he doesn't get wealthier. that also applies to the sexual energy, if you don't want to distribute it, there won't be a flow between you and universe.
