Who here is interested in escaping wage slavery? I think this is the most important thing I can do right now in my life. I’ve got debt, and I don’t make very much at my accounting job. Ive got to escape being a slave. I just… I really don’t know how I’m going to do this. I also have been thinking of starting to study as a data analyst. I thought maybe I’d be a Qigong teacher but… I’ve been posting some videos and I’m thinking to myself…. “I don’t think I can get rich with this monkey see monkey do business”. My debt is from student loans, and this marketing course (wish Leo had released his video before I walked into that one). Ive got to escape. Life isn’t worth living if this is it. I need to find a way to provide massive value and then be free for the rest of my life. I’m currently contemplating in my journal. Feeling deeply confused. I’m going to take Saturday to just sit to write my own thoughts. Anyone else working toward this? The thing is… I have the heart of an artist. My soul has been murdered by life. Though, I’ve been enjoying my job and the things I am learning. And, I love my practice of Qigong and had liked the idea of being a teacher. I actually really enjoy teaching Qigong. …. It’s not music, it’s not poetry… and, man… my tinnitus. I… I’m not sure if my life is worth living as it stands. I’m confused.

It's interesting.

Relax, it will pass.

Very interesting. I would like to as much as possible cut out neurotoxins, micro plastics and heavy metals.

@coca I would like for people not to think much of me at all who aren't engaged in my work. So, other than obviously have decent clothes, a nice house, high quality food, etc I don't want to buy expensive things needlessly like a Rolex or luxury car. I'd like to own some high quality bracelets but nothing more than a couple hundred dollars. And, for car my dream car is something like a Honda CRV. Something like an Oura ring or high quality mattress, or coaching, or courses, etc seem like where I'd like to spend money because I enjoy that more in life and get a return from it. A Rolex seems like recipe for sadness because who are you trying to impress? The other guy who believes in Rolexes as valuable. If the values really do remain stable, and people are actually able to resell them, that is interesting to me that people do that. Value, is of course relative. I think a better life is to orient around high conscious principles of living the good life. Looking rich, doesn't matter, isn't wealth... Why impress someone with money? The good life does require some level of wealth, and quality things like a house, car, nice property I think. What does excite me a lot is seeing my work have positive benefits on the lives of others... That is some of the greatest joy I don't think buying a Rolex can match for me. I don't need 70 Rolexes but if I could have that in spiritual wealth: Joy, compassion, wisdom, creativity, relationships, etc Boom. Won life .

I can leave behind the physical Rolex and Rolls Royce that Osho has... instead I will create Internal, Spiritual and energetic Rolls Royce and Rolex equivalent. Good Heath, Joy, Healthy relationship, purpose, wisdom, etc...

@Javfly33 God, let my wealth and affluence be invisible and extremely stable.

Apparently there is little evidence these seed oils are bad for you. I even did a consensus AI search and overall these oils seem to be healthy. I am actually just looking into this, so hold on. .... A very quick, basic search on Chatgpt Consensus shows that though there is some concern with consuming these.... It's not totally about avoiding them but consuming a balanced diet, and taking in some considerations when using them. https://chatgpt.com/share/6761c90c-8ecc-8013-9398-990796b809c8

40,000 dollars for what? a Bracelet . Just kidding, I don't really understand spending that much for a watch, nor do I believe in the monetary value ascribed to a Rolex. But, I can understand people enjoy it.

@integration journey Yes!

Searching for Superhumans.

Deepak Chopra mentions they did studies of chanting the sounds Om, (A, I, E, U, M) and are really good for you. I heard it in an audiobook of his and don't recall the specific studies or benefits at this moment. But, chanting these sounds has proven to be good for overall well being. I think the chanting/ singing has lots of health benefits, and when you chant something with intention you can have really positive results. Chanting these words, with intention can for sure be part of a solid spiritual practice. Try it yourself, and if it works for you then it's a good choice. Though, I think these sorts of things come down to personal preference as well. It's important to realize that these are ancient tools, and to approach them with openness but also question them. I think intention plays a big roll. A minor key make you feel sad, a major key happy. Sound definitely plays a roll in how your whole body operates. When it comes to chanting for protection, good fortune, etc. I don't know about that. As long as you live with principles of right action, effective interaction, critical thinking and intuition... I think the chanting can help when done maturely.

A Guru is born. Be yourself!

@El Zapato I thought it was very good! @PurpleTree I thought it was very good overall. Some of it was a bit repetitive at times, like when the boys realized they were a good team despite Butcher being grump for the 10th time. I skipped some slower parts, but I overall enjoyed it. I allowed myself to enjoy it. @Nemra Yeah, I watched all 4 seasons and I just finished watching Gen V which is a good show in the same universe. @Sincerity Season 4 was a little weak I skipped some sections but I also started to like the characters enough I was happy to chill with them for even some slower sections and side quests. I thought season 2 and 3 were really good, especially 3 when they have the short term compound V. The show definitely requires suspension of belief for it to work. But, I enjoyed the fictional politics, and mainly the subject matter of perception, politics, corruption, voters, media, and capitalism. It really had to be taken for what it was, as highly unrealistic and entertaining. The politics was cartoonish, but also it really mirrored and showed a reality I think about how politics works. I also like the idea too the even in a world with actual super powers humans would still be corrupt devils, and politics, perception, media etc would largely be the true power. I think it's a fun and interesting take on super hero's basically being the Villains. Though, after awhile the show is so over the top violent that the idea of a good or bad guy completely disappears in my opinion leaving a sense of moral ambiguity. Everyone is evil in the show.

I am investing in the rooting out of phone addiction, and some degree of food addiction. I am reorienting my mind on my common place book, schedule, to do list, etc and not any social media.

@integral Humans are conscious and intelligent. AI is a model which can become highly accurate and intelligent. Definitely an interesting area of inquiry. I am not sure I understand your comment about a market for that. I meant to say before to Leo to add in that it’s not just the Tesla driving risk their life but the lives of others when using the AI. Just as a nuance to his earlier point. There is always risk when driving of course. I do suspect that in time AI will be far superior to human drivers. It’s hard to say if in our lifetime AI self driving cars will be the norm. It’s unlikely when considering systems thinking and the infrastructure that already exists. Chances are dumb, gas guzzling cars are here to stay for a long time.

@Ramanujan The books you read should be tailored to what you want to learn, and what your goals are. If you are pursuing success and purpose and career the books you wanna read should focus on that domain. Sprinkling in some spirituality can be good too. I also think, if you are pursuing success that Brandon Burchards High Performance Habits is key. I feel bad his work isn’t discussed more on the forum. He is a fantastic high performance coach. See, Leo is big picture which is nice. But, Brandon is far more practical with the day to day of staying motivated, healthy, joyful and developing excellence in life. They work together of course.

@Leo Gura Yeah, sure. Drivers make mistakes all the time. But, your AI could kill me. Just interesting at least…

@Ramanujan Atomic Habits and Code of The Extraordinary Mind.

@Leo Gura So now I have to bear the risk of someone else using AI?

Move forward.
