@SerpaeTetra Has someone been reading a little too much Karl Marx... Only kidding. But, this is quite a naïve view to have, people who add more value to the world of course should earn more money, is the system corrupt as fuck as it is? Of course, it's Stage Orange, does it mean it's 100% bad? Of course not. I think we discussed here or another thread about a personal cap on wealth, which I 100% agree with, nobody needs more than $1 Billion to themselves really do they? Especially when people are homeless and starving. However, you can become a millionaire by creating/ doing something epic and then using that money positively and for good and the betterment of mankind/ friends/ family etc. Of course, buy yourself a nice place to live, and enjoy the freedom that comes with wealth, but as people become more conscious we won't see as much of the 'Ego gratification' spending we see now, where people buy new cars every week for the fun of it and have 7 yachts, again I'm not saying one can't enjoy these things, but most Stage Orange people aren't sensible with this kind of stuff. I would reword your 'How do I get more than my fair share' to 'How can I provide so much value to my customers and humanity that in return I live in abundance and complete freedom.' This is more and more the direction business will go in as we become more conscious as a society! Money is simply energy/ tool, it can be used for incredible things, and for terrible things, so when conscious people have more money, well the possibilities become endless!

@Raptorsin7 I HIGHLY recommend you and anyone else who wants to awaken, and is sick of seeking and not establishing in Non-Duality to go and get RASA, simple as that man. It's not a magic pill though, still have to do the work!

@Leo Gura This is perfect Leo, and is a great starting point for conscious business teachings. Will you make any conscious business teachings? I feel we need more conscious people creating amazing and value providing businesses that provide a foundation for business of the future. Also, most “spiritual” people have no idea how to market or grow a brand, and it’s often considered “dirty” I feel this is a huge issue.

@28 cm unbuffed tbh I don’t know, Alex is an extreme guy. I mean he lives in a house with just his laptop and bed, and when in business growth mode does nothing but work really, I think reducing it at least, I feel more research would be needed by more knowledgable guys!

@Nahm awesome man! Whatever it exactly was, I’m glad it helped. Next step, being able to give RASA to your own students ? Only playing. It is hard to believe some random 60 year old teacher (at the time) managed to transmit this, and then help a lot of people awaken and pas it on. But like you know, there’s no quick fix, it’s just an incredible tool!

@Michael569 both man and Caffeine if you can

@Nahm Serious? Haha, its cool man, I expect to be put back when I'm saying some random teacher on the net is giving me a divine transmission helping awaken people lol, who would just accept that? What happened anyways?!!

https://www.developgoodhabits.com/herbal-tea/ Haven't read up much on it, I just know Green Tea was supposedly great for Acne hence I started drinking it a few years ago, and its on Dr Gregors daily dozen. @Michael569any knowledge on herbal teas?

@fridjonk True. Also feel to a degree it can help you focus more for sure, it just isn't for me. @Charlotte Defo @RawJudah Hmm, I want the benefits of herbal tea though, and Decaf brands you recommend?

@Dragos haha, a lot has changed. I wouldn't say music is a bad habit, music is beautiful. Of course if you're addicted to it and listening 24/7, but I wouldn't feel guilty for enjoying music man. Junk Food on the other hand, yeah, there's not much to defend there for eating it regularly.

@flowboy Yeah, I think you're on point, I started when I was pretty B12 deficient for some energy, quit and started using again last year, it's such an easy habit to fall into, especially because Coffee tastes so good, and it's like Chocolate or Burgers& Chips where you know it's actually terrible for you. I think I'm going to come off slowly, I don't drink any on weekends, but recently have been staying awake later than normal, ideally I would like all my energy to come naturally. Agree RE: Sedentary. When I exercise I immediately feel energized to fuck, maybe skip the caffeine and add in several 5 minute pulse raising workouts every couple hours? @Charlotte Agree, when working long hours it's just SO easy to churn back cups of Tea and Coffee. I think anything used daily can be a bit too much in terms of 'negative' things. @fridjonk Becker is certainly a stage yellow enneagram 5 in my view, I personally won't be becoming a Minimalist but will be employing tactics like no phone during work hours, site blockers etc, caffeine is something I've been putting off... @Average Investor Yeah, Becker sounds like a hardcore addict tbf, he took 8 days off to recover and still isn't back to normal, he went cold turkey, maybe reducing consumption is a better approach if you plan on still being productive.

@fridjonk People want entertaining, and it is entertaining at the least, most of my friends watch it and I watched it last summer, and to be fair the producers do a good job of creating entertainment and drama (exaggerated and fake mostly I suspect) But, at the end of the day it's reality TV, so what more can we expect really. Hey, life's about having fun and enjoying it, and there's worse things than sitting in a Villa for 8 weeks and being paid for being attractive right?

I guess you can come at this from multiple POV, such as exploring reality and God's creation etc. But this has kind of been my argument all along, once you 'get it' why do you need to keep going back for more? From an exploration POV I get it, as it's not like an explorer goes on one journey and then says right done that, next thing. But, from a 'I need more' standpoint to me, that is still someone who is seeking and has not found so to speak. So, I guess like most things it boils down to the motivation behind it. For exploration of Infinity, I now understand and admit my bias against this beforehand, but I also think if unchecked it can cause endless seeking. But, I have never tried 5MEO so how would I know for sure? I just don't feel any need to.

@fridjonk Love Island dominates the British summer, and then the contestants become modern day Social Media 'Influencers' lol. The pinnacle of our culture.

@Hello from Russia Yeah, it is convenient. Like I said, how the top 1% have increased wealth by 100s of Billions, as average folk go into economic despair, the wealth gap has only got bigger and bigger. And, yes because more conscious people being wealthy, (hopefully) means more conscious businesses such as Actualized.Org but in all domains of life, and less 'Low consciousness' businesses like McDonalds and Co. @Heaven Exactly, go and listen to people who have made millions the right way, Leo is one example. Yeah, you will care less about the money after a certain point (studies show 70k/ year, probably more these days) and more about the value you and your business bring to the world. As a side effect this will likely earn even more money.

@flowboy Yeah wrong word probs. Meant, just to enjoy socially from time to time with friends, that's all. Of course if you have addiction issues with Alcohol that's completely different. Brian Rose of London Real talks about this well.

Hey everyone, The last few days on here haven't been exactly all about loving life and embracing life post-awakening, I saw a recent post by Leo about falling in love with life and finding passions outside of Spirituality/ Consciousness Work/ Reality etc When seeking it's easy to drop ALL hobbies and outside interests, sometimes even necessary for a while. Just like when starting a new business or relationship that tends to take centre stage for a while, however, I feel Passion is such a valuable thing to develop in life, learning to love life and cultivating your passion for interests and hobbies and even your career is like having the key to a never-ending road to bliss, happiness, and joy! So, this is all about discussing our passions with each other, and potentially helping others find their own passion and love for LIFE! Life is so fucking beautiful and amazing and everyone deserves to experience an amazing and passion-filled life! And, before we start I'm of course not saying don't have a passion for Awakening/Spirituality etc, however, your seeking journey will come to an end eventually (hopefully) of course integration and living the understanding goes on forever, but I know many of us don't want to just become monks or stare at a wall forever, and many of us are already in love with life, so this is all about sharing and cultivating that love for life! In my experience, awakening has only deepened my love for life and my own passions. One last thing- Of course a passion for truth and awakening is fucking amazing, it allows us to find out the truth of our own being, and discover the absolute happiness and peace inherent in this and WAYY more, so just want to make it clear I'm not for one second saying stop spirituality or anything like that! Anyways these are some of my passions- Sport- Ever since I was young I LOVED sport, I remember day after day just going out and playing football for hours and hours on end, it was my first love! (Outside of junk food, I still managed to be a fat kid lol) I still love football more than ever to do this day and watch every Liverpool game every weekend, although now I play a lot more cricket, every Saturday and Sunday in summer for 4 months, it's amazing! It's also incredibly social after the games which is an added bonus, and it's a great community to be a part of. Also, when I do play PS4 it tends to only be Fifa or sports games lol, I guess I'm pretty weird like that. Business/ Sales- I've always wanted to run my own business, however when I got interested in spirituality I thought they were mutually exclusive. How wrong I was! Simply it meant evolving my business to come from a place of love and focus firstly on serving the customer and making them happy, not solely on money. Fusing spirituality with business has been one of my greatest joys and I wake up and get excited to work every single day right now, it's so fun! Most people find it weird that I actually like writing copy and running ads, but we're all different I guess. Health/ Fitness (Feeling AMAZING) - Acne was what got me truly into health and fitness, my spots were terrible. It led me to going Vegan and in the last year my research and knowledge has deepened so much, and there is still endless amounts to learn in this domain of life. I LOVE learning new things that improve my health and naturally make me feel amazing, it is just such a great interest of mine, and I will forever be a student of health! I guess personal development falls under this category as well which I love! I also LOVE helping people in any way I can, so if they are unhealthy help them sort their diet out, or if they want to play sport help them get started, or if their business is struggling help them there etc, it gives a feeling like no other I'd say these are my main 3. I love to do other things such as hang out with GF/ Friends/ Family, Listen to music, go partying/ raving occasionally, watch incredible TV shows/ Movies etc, but I'm not sure it's fair to call things like that a passion, more just enjoyable things I like to do from time to time. So what are all your guys passions in life, and if you don't have any explain why and I'm sure we can help cultivate that love for life that is longing to be expressed!

@fridjonk Agree 1 hour workouts are amazing but there are studies showing if we sit on our arses all day at our desks and then just do 1 hour of exercise it isn't as amazing for us as we think, hence we need to add in 'low level physical activity' to our days. Ben Greenfield talks a lot on this, it's as simple as every 25 mins do some squats, push ups, jumping jacks, get a kettlebell and do some swings, if you have an exercise bike do a couple minutes on there etc. When you're taking calls go on a walk instead of being stationary When you make coffee do jumping jacks Things like that can emulate the Bluezones.

@UnconsciousHuman Yeah, but money creates freedom and opportunity, there is nothing 'wrong' with being rich, in fact if anything we should be promoting conscious beings to become rich as fuck and use their money in service of Love and Happiness. The problem is most rich people are very corrupt so we then assume money = corrupt when money is simply energy, that's all it is, neither inherently good nor bad. It is how you create and utilize the money that is the key. I am all for abundance and living in abundance, why should someone just because they are 'spiritual' not live a life of abundance where you have the freedom to not only do what you want but help uplift people and communities and change lives. Like, I'm not going to use my wealth so solely buy the fastest cars or biggest house, sure I may want a nice house, but the idea is to use the money 'positively' and create it from providing so much value for my customers. Let's say you have millions, you then have the potential to help your family, friends, help the community, invest in things you believe in etc. If you simply allow all of the quote on quote 'devils' to dominate the monetary system, nothing will ever change and it will be used in service of corruption and power etc, money could be used for AMAZING things and transform society, so instead of demonizing money, why not help people grow, become more conscious so that they use their money in incredible ways and help society? Maybe I'm biased! There's more to wealth than simply pursuing creative projects. You have to remember, there are businesses out there that genuinely help people beyond belief, and when you aren't completely materialistic as a business owner you can grow your company to help even more people as you go. No offense, but to me, people that demonize money tends to come from people that don't have much, or have never run any sort of business. Even if you want to run a charity feeding the poor you will need money, even if you want to run a spiritual retreat center you will need money etc We should start using money in conscious ways to truly help people and in service of love, truth, enjoyment, and happiness. And, that can even mean for YOU, you deserve to enjoy life remember! Booking a holiday can even come from a place of love, for the love of creating amazing times of loved ones etc Buying a nice house can, for the sake of living somewhere you love and truly enjoy Even buying a nice car if you love cars, of course, all of these things can come from a place of 'Ego' quote on quote as well. I have rambled here, but in one sentence. Money can be used in service of love, truth and happiness and that's exactly what as conscious beings we should be aiming to do, if we wish to live in society. Money isn't the issue, it is the motivation and people behind it that decide whether money is used for good or 'evil.'

@Leo Gura What are you doing now to raise your baseline levels? Or at least stabilise in awakening when you’re sober out of interest?

@Brian Wolfe Any reason for posting this? Almost sounds like the anti drug message you read in science textbooks at school, that just lead 15 year old kids to getting drunk in a park. Speaking of that, schools really need a much better drug message than “Don’t do any drugs ever!”

@UnconsciousHuman You have to remember mainstream healthcare is stage orange, if you want to say anything out of the ordinary or “alternative” you need your own platform. Nothing wrong with being a doctor at a hospital of course, but most of the healing will be based on mainstream methods, and dealing with a lot of BS. If you master your craft, build your own audience and genuinely love to heal people (true healing) then the sky is the limit. Dr Mercola was like the first alternative health site on the web and I’m pretty sure he’s a millionaire, there’s plenty of fitness and health millionaires these days. Just gotta be creative. Sell- Subscription newsletter, supplements, affiliate good products, 1-1 clients/ consulting, write books, make courses, sell guides etc A truly amazing doctor + great marketing = sky is the limit Also, remember not all doctors are angels, many are paid off by big Pharma and what not, and many are simply sold by the system and believe everything mainstream, sadly. @trenton To answer your original question. Pick one business model and master it in what you love. So, as a writer your best bet is writing books and publishing them, but for that you need amazing marketing skills to stand out. But as Leo said, millionaires are top 2-3%, it’s not that easy, but mastering business is your best bet. I know guys making like 400k/ month (gross) from 1 product, and they were maybe making 5-10k/ month 2 years ago

@fridjonk Hmmm, I’ll try find some good organic ones round here, and man I’m hooked on it haha, but I could do with a higher quality one for sure

@fridjonk Link me some brands, I’m ALL ears! ? I still think I eat wayyyy too much, pretty sure it’s what could be causing some minor spot issues on my back and neck, as my face completely cleared up when I went vegan back in 2015 after like a year, but my back never fully cleared annoyingly.

@Meta-Man Yep, exactly, before I thought teachers were crazy when they said it’s “consciousness speaking through them” like yeah you need to get mentally examined. Now, it’s like how could it be any other way? When Charlie talks he just spouts biased opinions about Liverpool, so We keep him quiet most of the time!
