congrats man! Keep us updated.

They’re all very different topics. What’s the biggest thing you want to work on?

You’re welcome. Anything that makes your connection clearer to God will help. Could be energy work, meditation, yoga etc. I wouldn’t recommend the average person try an instant healing though. I’ve been trained to do this kind of thing on the people I work with. Unless you’ve had some practice, you’re more likely to frustrate yourself than anything.

Yes and no. It will appear instantaneous to anyone who witnessed it. So you could say it happened somewhere in linear time from that traditional perspective. However, the healing involves tapping into God’s perspective, which is not bound by time in anyway. So in that sense it’s happening outside of time. Which is also what makes it possible. If it wasn’t happening outside of time, it couldn’t be instant.

In my experience, yes. Even physical instantaneous healing is possible.

@K VIL2 To ape basically means to copy or fake. For instance, you could go to an ashram and record what the spiritual guru says on your cell phone. Then you could memorize it and start giving your own talks. But it wouldn't mean you actually had any of the wisdom that guru had. To authentically grow would be to actually did what the guru did, i.e contemplate, meditate, etc. In your case, I'd say it's more about fear of losing your job. Or perhaps some other insecurity.

@AdamR95 I had a deep experience of this while doing Strong Determination Sitting. It was during my 10 day Vispassana retreat, which meant that my body was really starting to ache. I really thought I was going quit in the middle of the SDS session, but instead what happened was my resistance just dropped to nothing. It was the most bizarre experience. I still could feel most of the sensations we associate with pain. And yet, mentally it felt like I could have sat there for another hour no problem. Pain, but no suffering. I concluded that pain and suffering must therefore be separate phenomena. And that much of what we think of negatively as "pain" is really extra layers of suffering we add on through resistance. So yes, I think it is possible to fully accept physical pain. I think it's possible to fully accept anything. Which is NOT the same thing as saying that it's easy. Or that if you start cutting me with a knife I'll just sit there. It is to say a different state of consciousness is possible.

@xxBryantxx I'd ask you what do you think? Relationships in of themselves can be a powerful spiritual path as they challenge our trauma. So the question is, what's your real motive? Do you want to bail because you're setting a healthy boundary? Or do you want to bail because she's triggering you?

@MrBON You're stuck in the Soulmate Trap my friend. This is where the ego tells you that "I just love them and no one else!", which allows you to avoid connecting with anyone else. Don't get me wrong, I believe in soulmates. And getting rejected sucks. But the love you are seeking is inside you. You're trying to get more light by turning off the lights. Instead, what you should be doing is shining as brightly as possible. Don't believe the lie you're telling yourself that there aren't other women out there you can connect with.

@lukasferre Yeah I can relate to this dilemma. I haven't found any easy answers here. But I can say that you want to get to a point where you really want the commitment. It can't feel like a cage anymore, it's got to feel like you're really consciously choosing this. You're excited about the idea of just seeing her, even if you're physically attracted to other women. How you get there depends on you. You might have to mess around with other girls until it clicks that you want something deeper. Or, maybe you realize you just want to be single forever.

@somegirl I’m going to echo what some other users have said. My guess is you had some bad sexual experiences and you maybe don’t even realize it. I could be wrong, but that’s the feeling I’m getting. I’m saying this because most women I’ve met don’t walk away from truly amazing, soul expanding, beautiful sexual experiences feeling “meh” about it. Usually that happens because the sex was meh. Or worse.

Depends. There’s many, many techniques for changing beliefs. If you feel like you’ve got beliefs that aren’t in alignment with where you want to go, usually I would do some introspection to find out what they are first. From there you can work on reprogramming. Sometimes that isn’t even necessary though. For instance, if you do bodywork or energy healing, you can clear subconscious beliefs without necessarily knowing what the belief was.

It's not true at all. Fame is not a one to one relationship with how hard you work. There are many other factors at play. Most important thing to consider with any goal is to be fully in alignment with it. No subconscious beliefs pulling you in different directions.

-Instantaneous physical / emotional healing -Spiritual entities -Psychic abilities -Breatharianism -Reality is consciousness -God

I would work this backwards. Instead of asking "what job is going to provide great security?", I'd ask "what do I like doing?" and then turn that into something that can financially support you.

I'd say anything that is making you a more loving person is the right direction.

I don't believe so. Modern porn is highly unnatural. Conscious masturbation may have its benefits. No, age has nothing to do with it. Of course you like it, it's a huge dopamine rush. You've got to separate that from a true feeling of fulfillment. The only real way I've found to beat porn and unhealthy masturbation is to replace it with something healthier. Sure, you can try to stuff the energy down with willpower. But you're going to be miserable and will eventually fail. Instead, you've got to channel the energy. Get lots of physical movement in. Have a creative pursuit, whether that's in work, your art or whatever. Ground yourself in nature. Learn how to move the energy with your intentions. And most importantly, get an actual girlfriend.

@Psychonaut Maybe the joy of a relationship doesn't come from what you get, but from what you choose consciously to put into it.

@No Self Yes because social media companies are for-profit enterprises. And as long as profit dictates gluing people to their screen as long as possible, we will keep seeing these distortions. And up the chain of for-profit enterprises, we could look at how our economic system demands continual growth in order to function. We could look at how capitalism creates monopolies like Facebook via competition. So let's not even just blame Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg is not evil, he is largely just responding to systemic incentives, along with every other CEO. Sure if he was more conscious he might stop, but he is not even incentivized to be more conscious. He is incentivized to look the other way.

@I Journey I wouldn't quit if you really have no direction moving forward. I would suggest doing some serious introspection as far as your life purpose and what you're interested in. At least get a general direction going. Then, you can start making some plans. If you need help figuring out your LP, there's always Leo's course. You can also use the questions from this video to help introspect:

@shubhankar You're in a rut my friend. How do you think you can break the momentum you've got going on?

@Arcangelo Wow. First off, don't blame yourself for your dad's behavior. At the end of the day, it's just a grill. If he got that angry, there is something much deeper going on in his life, likely related to trauma / personal issues. I don't see any reasonable excuse for his actions. Second, it sounds like you're not financially ready to move out. I could be wrong, maybe you're moving up the latter at McDs, but last time I checked they don't pay enough to be independent. My guess is you're going to have to keep working towards financial independence before you can realistically leave. In the mean time, have you talked to your dad about this? Unless you think he'd kick you out, I'd tell him how you feel. Express that you while you understand the importance of cleaning the grill, you aren't okay with how he acted. Don't let him bully you.

@Onecirrus I'll add reinstating all or at least some of the environmental regulations he rolled back.

@Rigel Looks good to me. Good luck! Be sure to update us.

@Just Do Nothing Well porn is usually extremely toxic. More and more people are realizing that. But you also don't want to be in resistance to porn. Where do you feel you stand?
