I don't know if I truly believe I will ever be happy... Or better yet, this sense of hopelessness.

@Average Investor thanks man going to rewatch this

@Leo Gura elliot's take is the same convenient excuse BS that I have heard from every Christian zealot ever in real life

@Yog

Exactly. Bruh, if you live in Seoul, just go out there and find them. You probably already know what some of these top places are.

Thanks Leo. Gonna go try this tomorrow.

@Moon i agree with your premise but ultimately think it still promote s low consciousness lust at a larger scale and dudes gonna want the real thing eventually

You're so cool man!

You got this man. Just detach from that energy like you do with thoughts in meditation. Keep your eye on the prize!!! Your future. If you allow them and YOURSELF to fall into that grimy territory that is all at risk. You will be just like them. But you have the choice to not be. As hard as it may be at first. Realize this: this low consciousness, toxic behavior is characteristic of a child. It's as if your family grew but stayed the same age mentally. Don't hate them for it but realize these people literally don't have the capacity to engage and deal with life (since they're really children after all). They dont have the robust nervous system that is required to engage with life properly. It's quite sad, but you should not expect so much out of a child, adult life for a child is INCREDIBLY stressful. try to be understanding but dont get yourseelf dirty. You come first!!! The mere fact that youre on this forum seeking for solutions sets u apart from everyone else. The moment you start pointing fingers is when you gotta be careful. Confident you will figure this out. good luck man! I wish you a beautiful and fullfilling life

Am 24 and just addressing these now really since I was in school. - I was planning to travel but seems much less feasible atm due to Covid - Life purpose aspect for me is to become damn good at meditation and help others with this. Still unsure how I want to approach this. - Financials is actually my priority right now and am working constantly towards this each day atm... Generally speaking, it's best to pursue 2 major things at a time but prioritize one of those two even for a certain amount of time. Until the progress and boundaries really get pushed. More than 2 is too much and you wont get nothing done.

there is no such thing as unearned wisdom. rather, the phrase points to those who believe they have gotten somewhere they haven't

set a goal and intention for the retreat no phone increase practice leading up to retreat so you have more stamina and so the retreat is MORE productive... instead of falling into a groove until after a couple days.

Been feeling something like this for a while. Coming back off a mini meditation retreat I came back with perhaps even less preference for sex. I was invited by friends to a strip club and happily went but ended up reading meditation books instead while giving the strippers some money intermittently just to be nice since it was a little slow.

@JosephKnecht You're overthinking the whole ordeal. When you flip the concept of GOD inside out unto itself we get --> DOG. aka Dog Consciousness, Doggie Mind,

@gswva absolutely do. thats next!

I don't think so mate. The point is to see through the ego entirely and LIVE, as opposed to unable to see through it and KILLING YOURSELF INSTEAD. LIVING is a beautiful thing

Can this help with carpal tunnel? Ready been looking at qi gong and tai chi for a while

@Enlightenment I would say modafanil is less jittery than caffeine. You feel awake (not awakened lol). more effective with less of those unwanted side effects of jittery anxiety ime

@Jacobsrw maybe all this pretentious OCD behavior is worse than letting my attention run a little wild with clips of ass n titties shaking on my phone screen, or silly clips TikTok videos

I wont claim enlightenment or whatever the he'll that means, but post the non dual shift in experience its hard to take anything in life too seriously, namely "my purpose". I just finished college and frankly I am afraid, confused, and lost. Maybe nothing to do with enlightenment and just regular post grad dilemma LOL with a clickbait title

I really like sales but am turned off by the sharkish sociopathic qualities in lower consciousness work environments.

@Average Investor Yep. That is exactly what I was thinking man. But I guess I was looking for inspiration. I guess I already knew I had to make my own thing from scratch. School has been a rollercoaster so far and am certainly not keen on going back (though I finally graduated) Thanks. Youre a quality poster on this forum

@Xochiquetzal makes a lot of sense. Musicians as well id say

@Consilience I completely agree with the sentiment
