do the work, that's great!

maybe a myth but the more you practice, the more you fire and wire your neurons in your brain. but practicing consciously would most of the time reduce the hours significantly.

don't expect someone would come and say that marriage is good or bad (in a dualistic way) because it's your preference at the end of the day. but speaking of my case, I'd like to prefer not to marry and have kids, it's completely outdated notion for me and I understand that what your girlfriend is trying to express and trying to be true to your love out of wedlock. most of the time, a person is immensely afraid of their own loneliness and solitude of their future and that's why they choose to get married and have kids.

yes, 100% of problems are inside, yes it's hard for me to accept this fact, but hardcore consciousness work gives you the power and capability to realize that all the things outside are merely the reflection of your inside.

this style has nothing to do with any stages at all!! those courses are trying to present you a fixed perception about one subject so try no to fall into that trap. as a matter of fact, saying romantic relationship is dead or alive is just focusing on the limited cases but you should consider the world-wide cases, billion cases! but the thing is related to stages is that how freely you behave with the sex subject. do you label the girls who want a sex combined with love a nice girl? and a girl who just want to have sex an asshole? (it's all in your head!!) remember, there's no need to be in love to be involved in sex, those who say that the partner should firstly see your soul and be one with it in order to have sex with you are the creepiest words that I've ever heard...

@Leo Gura I just wanna raise a question here: it's said that if you hate something in your life, life will bring you more of that to teach you not to hate it but to love it. so why the heck is life trying to do that when hatred is the twisted and contorted form of love? why reality wants to be dualistic in this case?

this doesn't apply for the emotional mastery achieved after an enlightenment. but yes, two sides of spectrum are far from each other but when you reach the end of spectrum it begins from the other side abruptly (YING AND YANG) It's said that the darkest moment of night is just right before the dawn so this applies to our emotional system too.

Yes, Enlightenment makes you super-productive because the EGO is always leech off of your energy on a moment by moment basis.

on the conscious level not really and maybe he wouldn't have thought about it at all. but on the subconscious level, yes!

@Leo Gura still hard to digest for the mind which is not ready. I'm not a flatterer and I don't like to be flattered but as a matter of fact, I really appreciate your genius works, sometimes I wish I could watch every one of actualized.org videos for 100 times to internalize in order to put them into practice in my everyday mundane life.

I don't recommend cigarettes, try to be cool another way

I didn't tell you to go out and get dead drunk but again practice consciousness work. try to deprogram yourself from the "social conditioning" and shoulds and shouldnts

If you're getting upset, then you're not enlightened if you're enlightened, then you're not getting upset at all

Hahaha, have you ever been drunk? can you think how do you think and what do you think at that mode? you're just a Pure Patrick so remember what was your way of thinking, perspective at that moment. try to internalize them when you're sober.

Joy

so far I've gone 3 hours and 20 minutes straight, not higher.

Good luck Man!

A Modern Master of Consciousness is someone who makes progress both in physical and metaphysical aspects.

MY PLEASURE! Yes Exactly! don't confuse yourself with the concept of "EGO" all the time, don't separate it, EGO is YOU, don't you wanna serve yourself? what do you want and what are your desires? check out your basic survival needs > food, shelter, sex, comfort then check out the other level of needs > companionship, relationship, romance, love, respect, career, education, passions, excitements a MODERN master of consciousness is someone who makes progress both in physical and metaphysical aspects!

@ds300 meditation and raising awareness, trying to be in the moment is the practice of detachment from the outcome, but this doesn't mean you don't want any outcome in your life ever again. that's the strategic and productive approach for getting results.

@Shadowraix well put! it still surprises me to see here some guys who are old-timer consciousness seekers but they don't have any spiritual intelligence even as size as the peanut! sorry but no offense! I'm writing from the place of sympathy. these types of posts seem that way and show me that still, these guys aren't aware of the traps of their own mind.

Great question! Yes, it's tricky, but let me make a fine distinction here. By doing more meditation and observation (once it happens), you take control of thoughts pattern/feelings/emotions, etc, yes, the negative things will vanish (if done correctly) but don't forget the right message behind it (which is aligning you with what you want in life) You still have desires in life and you should fulfill them, right? But this doesn't mean you're enforcing the malicious mechanism of the EGO (If you're doing consciousness work properly alongside) Maybe the message of the pain and suffering or anxiety is to force you to remove something that you don't want in your life or follow your passion. But again, I'd say that following desires isn't counterproductive, for instance, one decides to do consciousness work and then he decides not to have sex or have a girlfriend because he thinks that that is against consciousness development but he doesn't understand that this very limiting belief is unconsciousness per se. or the spiritual seekers let go of their material life purpose and they wonder why they're feeling desperate despite doing hardcore practices. everyone should know that Not fulfilling the needs of EGO has ALSO negative consequences. All in all, I should say that following joy and fulfilling desires invites you to higher vibrations which will subsequently contribute to your consciousness growth so maybe, at first sight, you're serving your EGO (which is you, yourself) but it's deeper than that and helps your overall well-being in terms of psychological progress.

I always say that EGO has the power to turn all of the consciousness truths to nihilism and I understand from the style of your writing that you experience nihilism. your decision is coming from the place of lack, bleak and misery, not from the pure understanding from the reality. we're all here to lessen the burden of EGO to the extent that we'd see reality as LOVE, PURE JOY, etc. maybe you put up resistance against your desires. when the desires aren't met properly, EGO turns everything to black. so follow your joy and desire and excitement. keep in mind that you need love, sex, companionship, success, pleasure, comfort and so and so forth. so please get back to your life and start achieving material successes alongside consciousness work. GOOD LUCK @Shaun !

imagination is bringing things into existence as an energy form and there are layers to it.

@Nivsch I mean when I'm not doing the things that I'm supposed to do (for example necessary actions for my near future) , I feel that I can't sit down (due to stress) but once I'm done with my work (enough for that day), I feel the relief of stress. For that reason, I say that every negative feelings "inside" carries a specific message or a lesson inside, and it wants us to line up with our inner self-agenda for our own life. Absolutely, being present and observation (without judgement) are the bestest things that can be done especially in the times of experiencing negative feelings/thoughts/emotions. Being just Aware of the thought pattern for a long while will make that collapse (the power of awareness!!) but to make it faster, you should come up with reasons why that thought pattern is wrong. Hope you got the point!
