People like to dance! to share, to get likes. It's human. Maybe it says something about a shadow you are suppressing? Would you like to dance?

Have you tried fabulous? https://www.thefabulous.co/ I was diagnosed with ADD as a kid... So I have been learning to overcome it as an adult and I found this app helped me install the habit infrastructure I now use. Also, check out Bullet Journaling by Ryder Carrol. He has ADD and invented this journaling system to organize and plan

I too am learning the power of active inactivity

@Alysssa Thank you

I sense I am making progress on it over the past few weeks. I've been journaling about it, speaking to my therapist and some friends. I also bought a book by called Total Forgiveness by a priest named R.T. Kendall which has been really good. I don't normally read christian material but there was a lot of really great ideas in there that have helped as well. I haven't felt resentment in really throughout august. It tends to come up without warning, because I haven't fully forgiven. But I am learning about the grace and power of forgiveness with this book really well. I am developing a stronger psychology to deal with these things, more robust and increasing my AQ. When it happened and I felt wronged, it's reach seemed to destroy everything I loved. Which, was more my own paper thin psyche than her actions. Also, when all my mental walls close in on my I feel trapped. Part of me also noticed that on the other side of my resentment/ anger was more power and stability. Like, with David Hawkins map of consciousness I had to go through the anger, to reach the higher levels when I was feeling apathetic before. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. - Colossians 3:13 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us - 1 John 1:8 We all sin. Forgive, and be forgiven. Take your time.

Well, it appears it's do or die. So, who is going to take the lead? "Where are you going who did you ask?

Remember we are thinking long term life long learning for a reason! As a fool myself becoming wise, reality keeps humbling me.

Contemplate it. What happens if you don't brush your teeth? Sleep properly? Trip on psychedelics in an improper setting? Burn fossil fuels and raise cattle in factory farms? Reality may be ammoral, but morals have a strong survival basis.

This and so much more. Let the experience be what it is. You are going to learn so much. Our mental models tend to project how the future will be, but we really have no idea.

Up to you, your probably phsyically safe. But, they are trying to hook you.

Exactly, as you are becoming a sovereign, mature adult every has an opinion, and an asshole. Keep going! This is part of the journey.

There are many facets of awakening, insights and spiritual progress. The awakenings from psychedelics vs Kundalini yoga will be different I think. Yes, I will do a video explaining a "Breath of Fire" techninque that I did for 2 weeks and felt the energy rise up the spine. Very different than psychedelic awakening, or Qigong. They imo, all aid each other. I would say practicing Kundalini Yoga, Krya Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Qigong, Thai Qi and various types of meditation throughout your life (maybe just pick one for awhile, or pick some that are complimentary) are ideal for increasing your baseline state. Especially Qigong and taoist practice. There are many mountains, paths, and peaks on the spiritual path. They can be very different, or similar. Everything is connected.

No. If you say, take business you are building the basic infrastructure for you long term success. But, if you are serving coffee 8 hours a day.... good luck... in college you have flexibility, time, you can build skills like: 1. Planning 2. Time management 3. Deadlines 4. All the actual skills you are learning 5. team work 6. Being a leader 7. There are clubs you can join 8. Develping soft skills Lets say you spend 4 years doing engineering, and you spend 30 minutes to and hour each day thinking about life purpose and what you want to create. You would be developing such a strong agile mind capable of heavy lifting that someone stuck in wage slavery just cant. etc There are many dangers with Leo's work. For example, when we are too foolish to implement it wisely. Especially young people. So, like Idk. Instead of impulsively deciding something, plan, and like have these discussions with the forum and your parents first. Make a plan first. Why drop out of school if you don't even have an actual plan? When we are young, imo most of us lack the ability to make sound decisions, think long term, be mature, etc which is why school is there.

Hey, I made a video talking about the importance of clarity and groundedness in our spiritual pursuits. Let me know if it is okay to share here, and it not I will remove the thread. I love to see your thoughts on this as well!

Just to be clear again, this book has nothing to do with Sun gazing.. I've been reading deeper into the Book here Cosmic Nutrition. From what I can read so far I think this thing is a bible for superb health. They really paint a strong picture of what health looks like and how it's achieved. It lines up perfectly with my studies over the past 5 years. Highly recommend it if you are looking on developing to super human potential.

Just bought this book, wondering if anyone else is knowledgable about taoist nutrition. It seems pretty holistic so far. I am thinking it's a great mindset... Working on maintaining health simply through really taking care of your vehicle. It might be a little to harsh on western medicine but, I enjoy it the book so far overall. I think this holistic approach to health and preventing diseases caused by living out of alignment is pretty interesting. https://www.amazon.ca/Cosmic-Nutrition-Taoist-Approach-Longevity/dp/1594774706/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=cosmic+nutrition&qid=1628119572&sr=8-1

@Matthew85 Thank you for your feedback. I will check him out! I think I may recognize him from other videos I have seen.

Go do it. Bout to set a pomodoro right now actually. Then I am reading, planning, small stretch then bed ahah

Not sure if healing yourself with Qi is a siddhi, but you can easily begin to tap into energy healing with qigong practices. People have been doing it for 4500+ years. So, we can all developing healing powers because we are made of it. I have been developing so much Qi lately, it's really amazing how it feel and how obvious it is. I totally believe patanjali that by mastering your body and mind that siddhis are possible. I think psychedelics can point the way but it also takes a lot of physical practice and emotional labour. https://superhumanexperience.io/

You mean like, a mosque?

You have to make your own decisions, but finding anyway to avoid wage slavery and putting all your time into gaining experience, education etc I say is the best investment. But, you can still find a job you enjoy that teaches you about reality. Every moment is a chance to learn. If you already know what you want to teach yourself, and you've proven you can make your own modules, projects, etc then go ahead. But, school is really great. Life is long, this is a great learning experience if you use it properly regardless. Just, really put the work in.

I would say go to school, but It's really up to you. You will have time at school to work on yourself and be creative. You'll grow so much. If you are working some shit job your just wasting all that time.

Thank you! I have up days and and down days however, I am improving. I feel like I am cracking through my pain body more and more with Qigong.
