@electroBeam You do you man. Awakening and embodiment is the end of so called “suffering” at least in my experience. Of course painful sensations and what not exist, however, with complete acceptance and appreciation of each and every moment these are no longer seen as a problem whatsoever. “I” am already completely happy and at peace. In regards to Sex Scandals, this is due to not being fully awakened/ no awakening to love/ The Self being all, you don’t see the likes of Ramana, Rupert, Francis etc participating in sex scandals. Awakening has depths, it isn’t black and white. If you wish to pursue the life you are after go for it, but in my view spirituality has transmuted to the west for a reason. It’s time to embody the teachings in daily life and in all areas of life, and actually begin to create a “world” based on this understanding, and not based on fear, lack and greed. Of course absolutely speaking it doesn’t matter either way. But, relatively speaking living life based on this will have huge implications, and gradually we will see these structures and societies fall and be replaced. Society changes one individual at a time. As more people “wake up” they aren’t going to accept what we have going on right now (relatively speaking) I also understand why monks and yogis practice celibacy in the seeking stage, however, after true awakening it isn’t really necessary, unless it happens naturally, same as with what you are talking about. I wish you luck on your journey

@electroBeam When you are completely fulfilled, happy and at peace and conscious of your true nature. (Everyone is The Self/ Awareness etc just don’t know it) you don’t have “personal desires” to make you happy. You simply have “impersonal desires” as The Absolute as a means to express, share and celebrate this understanding. Life becomes a celebration in every moment. You then won’t need these things that come from like e.g. Excess junk food. There is a huge difference between binging on junk food out of lack and due to say depression, and having a slice of cake to celebrate someone’s birthday at a social gathering. In one without the food you will be miserable, depressed, upset. In the other, if you eat the cake, great you’ll enjoy it and move on, if it runs out and you don’t get any, oh well you’re still going to be happy either way. Be careful not to demonise living life while you’re here. There’s plenty of time to be an avatar once you drop the body, if you have completed your spiritual journey in this lifetime.

Not in a million years. If my body needs to detox it will do it naturally. Get this....people who clean up their diet, start fasting, practicing the WHM etc etc tend to get sick FAR less than your average McDonalds goer, I wonder why that is. I was kind of hoping to get the disease (if it exists as we are told it does, who knows at this point) just to show how for a normal, healthy 20 year old it is very easy to overcome naturally. I have my plan already in place as soon as symptoms hit from studying multiple doctors who aren't pumped with backhanders from GSK and co. The basis of the protocol is this: Prevention- Elderberry, Zinc 15mg/1 mg copper x 2-4 daily, 1 Zinc Losenge daily Stabilized Allicin and 150mg Vitamin C as optional extras Normal washing hands, prevention protocol etc When Sick/ First sign of cold/ flu/ corona virus- Zinc Losenge every 2 hours until better, Sterimar Copper spray x6 per day Optional- Ecchinea Beyond this the basics such as- Intermittent Fasting& weekly 24 hour fast, Wholefoods diet, Water (ideally fluoride free) and Herbal teas only- currently also no Coffee, Wim Hof Method- Cold Exposure plus breathing daily, 1+ hour of exercise every single day + Sun exposure for vitamin D. Sadly my Gym is shut so can't do serious weight training or Heat therapy atm. Any other tips welcome @TrynaBeTurquoise @DrewNows @Moreira https://chrismasterjohnphd.com/what-im-doing-for-the-coronavirus-coming-soon However, for my Mum (a HEAVY smoker and generally unhealthy person) I would probably suggest her getting the Vaccine, as 1) she's not going to stop smoking and 2) she has early onset Diabetes, therefore, it's kind of a lost cause at this point. So, for her and elderly people unless they want to suddenly sort out their health (surprisingly people are so scared yet won't stop their bad habits lol, anyone with Diabetes right now why are you not reading books like Dr Barnards etc!) a vaccine, sadly, probably is the best solution.

@Roy This is so true, it's all about habits. Once you start eating healthy and stop buying junk food it becomes normal, I feel stopping buying it is key, it's made to be addictive. Just like Porn, Gambling etc is, the food industry is incredibly corrupt and toxic. Unfortunately I don't think there's great margins on Tumeric and Ginger, whereas, there is on Coke and Sweets. Although, I feel we're getting closer and closer to a tipping point, health& fitness is everywhere you go these days, although I'm sure it'll be even more hijacked with shit like 'Keto Bars' and 'Vegan Bars' which contain shit instead of Whole Organic Foods which we are designed to eat.

Personally I would've said you was crazy had you asked this to me a couple years ago. Now- I think it's very much more likely than unlikely. Personally from my research, and others, it's looking more and more likely every day. David Icke talks about this (although extremely and don't believe it all at all), there's also lots of series on Gaia I believe on this that I need to check out, they've been spamming me with YT ads, good targeting by them! How many coincidences until it becomes an impossibility?

@Meta-Man You are explaining this really well. Essentially how Self-Realised beings explain this phenomenon, i.e. Rupert Spira and Francis Lucille. You do things because you want to and as a celebration instead of a need to and to make yourself happy. You no longer “need” sex to be happy, but you may want the celebrate the connection you have with another being through sexual intimacy. you don’t need to play football, but you may want to go have some fun and play a few games of football with your friends, or heck play to a decent level because you enjoy it. And guess what life is about: enjoyment and happiness. When you are absolutely happy you are free to do whatever you want. Although with a true awakening, that “whatever” will always come from love and understanding. Hence Ramana Maharshi wasn’t a child rapist or murderer etc Francis calls tbis “impersonal desire” and I think that is as good as concepts and words can get in explaining this.

@Leo Gura This is such a good point. Buddhist monks are forced to take a vowel of celibacy, most don’t do it because they want to or have transcended the physical. People don’t realise true awakening involves becoming more human and more you than ever before, without any BS “spiritual” beliefs and concepts. It is complete acceptance and spontaneity of the moment without any resistance what so ever. And, as you said, awakening to love and integrating this then means your life will be lived From a space of love, and that is the most beautiful love to live. if you wanna go have sex, go do it!

@electroBeam You're equating all desire with Ego, which is wrong. Desire in means to achieve something e.g. happiness through money, sex, relationships etc, is a never-ending circle. However, desire can evolve to become an expression of your love, happiness, and understanding. Be careful demonizing desire, without it, you wouldn't be alive if you say you have transcended desire you're just BSing yourself. The desire to breathe and survive is still a desire, and there's also nothing wrong with expressing this understanding and having the desire to have a partner, have sex, build a business etc, when it is coming from the place you are already happy and at peace, therefore don't NEED anything, you simply do it as you WANT to. It's subtle but a huge difference. If you want to live a hermits life, that is completely up to you and is beautiful. However, it won't make you more 'spiritual' or whatever. Once all your 'karma' goes you will rest in eternity, so I wouldn't worry too much about that, enjoy life. Sounds like you're going to fall into the trap of denying life, like many monks and yogis do (not all of course) 'Minimizing your sex drive is very unnatural unless it happens naturally e.g. Ramana Maharshi, there are no rules to awakening. When you are absolutely at peace and happy you are free to do whatever you wish. @Leo Gura For once I couldn't agree with you more

I have thank you. hence why I’m able to listen to many, many teachers with an open mind, and listen to sources regarding Covid-19 from many many sources in regards to the nature of the virus, how we can prevent the virus, how we can protect ourself from the virus, supplements, how to boost overall health etc, I don’t just listen to Icke and believe everything he says, he has his opinions, but it’s always advisable to listen to both sides. That’s why a podcast like London Real has been so great recently, he’s had people like Icke on, who doubt the existence of Covid-19 and have his theories, then he has multiple doctors on around natural healing and how we can protect ourselves, and then he also has had The likes of Sadhguru and Wim Hof on, his podcast has been amazing recently. Ive enjoyed diving deeper into Ickes work, as I never really did before. And, I know 99% of people here would’ve maybe watched one video, and never read his books or anything like that, so from that vantage point it’s quite unfair to judge. Im currently reading one of his books, and it raises some very interesting points regarding the nature of reality, our true self, religion, alternative healing etc, and we haven’t even got to the conspiracy part yet! I wouldn’t regard him as fully Self-Realised- I.e.- Ramana Maharshi, Rupert Spira, Francis Lucille etc, however he has clearly had several awakenings, and has done 30 years worth of research with many of the things he has been saying being brought to the light recently. Critical sense involves having the open mindedness to dive into ideas that “scare” you or challenge your paradigm. For example, I would’ve never ever even looked into the potential of Climate Change being used for a political agenda, or how Agenda 21 is being played out in front of our eyes, at the least it’s eye opening.

@docs20 Service Accomodation, takes a decent upfront investment though.

@Consept I don’t really get it, people aren’t saying Trump is a saint and Bill Gates is the only bad guy out there. It goes wayyyy deeper than Gates and Trump lol. I would recommend watching this documentary (from an unbiased stand point) and then coming back here. Just so you know my background- big Lefty, heavily supported Corbyn over here in the UK last year and was strongly in favour of us remaining in the EU before finding investigating further. P.S. I would still love a society based on love, understanding and happiness. However, the current Democratic Party does not support that one bit, not that the right are better. But the whole Right/ Left split is just another way to divide us and argue, isn’t it time we all worked together? I wouldn’t call “brainwashing” digging deeper to find the truth! Btw- this is hard to watch at times, be warned.

@louhad Anyways, I would recommend starting your own business/ developing some skills to a high level. This skill can be marketing/ Business if you wish. In terms of business, online businesses are pretty easy to start if you have some spare cash, Publishing/ E-Commerce/ Social Media Marketing etc, but pick ONE business model, master it and get to 20k/ Month MINIMUM before moving onto another model. Do not develop Shiny object syndrome. Master one skill/ business model/ niche and you can reach levels you can only dream of right now. Leo is a good example, he stuck to the Self-Help/ Spirituality, focused on YouTube and then produced 2 main products- Life Purpose course& Book list, both highly related to his viewers and subscribers. These can eventually become passive when you hire more staff and offset the work once you have mastered the business model. That brings me onto passive income, it's possible but WILL TAKE WORK! Online Courses are the perfect example, I'm sure @Leo Gura spent 100s of hours on his LP course, and now it generates him income on a weekly basis, tbf I think he hasn't even tapped into like 50% of what he can earn from that course. If he wanted to he could set up a Webinar, Facebook/ YouTube ads, and retargeting ads and effective Email marketing, that course could change even more people's lives. I know people making 7 figures+ from 1 online course. But they spent 100s of hours creating the best product in that niche first, that should always be the focus- your customers! (P.S. Leo PM me if you wanna talk about this more, and check out Alex Becker on YT, your course needs to be infront of more eyes) Once you have a business/ job making you enough to live on and some, then think about Investing. But, I see so many people investing say $500 a month in stocks when if they invested that in themselves and in business they would make WAY more money long term and actually provide way more value, but that's another topic. Then looking at how you can create even more passive income through investments and investing in businesses and people etc, but invest in yourself first would be my advice. I've just started a new project with 2 great entrepreneurs in the publishing industry, we are looking to create the BEST books, online courses and backend offers for our customers. That is our ONLY focus, Quality >. As a result, we are much more likely to achieve our goal of 6 figure monthly profits and eventually a 7 figure sale of the company because we are solving problems in our niche and helping improve people's lives. Look at Alex Becker and Sam Ovens on YouTube, they aren't your typical stage orange materialistic YouTubers, they are your focused LP business, doing what's best for my customers kind of Entrepreneurs, If you're into entertainment- fiction, music, gaming etc then focus on helping people be as entertained and have as much fun as possible, it's the same mindset. Sorry for the rant, but I used to be a passive income 'junkie' and you can make 3,5,10k a month etc in Passive Income, but if you want to grow your income and provide value build your skills and business first, then you'll have more money to build passive income!

@LaucherJunge Oh yeah I wasn’t doubting the Doc was amazing, and I wasn’t defending the democrats by any means, although all I am after is a system based on Love, Happiness and Freedom, which nobody seems to offer these days! And it’ll be a very long time before we get there of course. When are you going to start a thread on Soros and Greta Thurnberg and the Climate agenda, that’ll ruffle some feathers?

@Leo Gura What do you invest in now? any real estate properties? Any start ups? 100% agree investing in yourself and your own business first and foremost is the most important thing by a mile, most of my money has been reinvested into my own business and several investment businesses. However, in the near future I’m looking to expand further and was thinking real estate/ service accommodation, and maybe some Vanguard life strategy funds, wondered what you do. This is an open question to anyone with investing experience/ advice.

@LaucherJunge I like this documentary a lot, sadly it is kinda hijacked by a lot of far right supporters that are using conspiracies as a means to push an agenda. I don’t think Trump is at all the good guy Q Anon make him out to be, could be wrong of course. However, the parts about pizza gate, the royal families etc are very eye opening and a horrible watch to see what has been happening all this time. Problem is when conspiracies are used to push a politician or whatever, it’s clear there’s an agenda there. In reality there’s good and bad guys on the left and right, both are likely as bad as each other. All I will say, is sadly, many “positive” things will/ could be hijacked by those in the shadows and used in a poor manner. The perfect example is UBI, this could be an incredibly helpful income, or it could be used as a form of control. Same as veganism, at its core it is a beautiful message about equality of all beings. And, can be incredibly healthy with organic wholefoods. Or it can be used to mass produce synthetic food incredibly cheap and remove local farmers and replace them with Corporations. (This is coming from a vegan)

@Leo Gura I respect your decision to not allow conspiracy theories here as it is your forum and will stop posting them and focus my time here on awakening and health/ fitness/ nutrition, are we allowed to post about 'alternative' health at least, and different methods of healing? I disagree with you regarding 'Conspiracy Theories' and am too not interested in many, just solely interested in the truth. Actually, you'll be surprised to know David Icke always talks about infinite awareness, infinite love, the nature of reality etc before any of the conspiracy stuff, hopefully he will get a lot of his readers interested in spirituality. He often talks about the solution being raising our consciousness and awakening, he even has done Psychedelics a few times But, anyway, I'll stop posting them here, up to you what you want on your forum. Won't stop searching for the truth though

The realization of the truth of your own being, the truth of reality and the 'permanent' recognition of your own being. Then comes the embodiment of this understanding in all areas of life and abidance as The Self. Sounds to be like you had an awakening experience and it lasted a little while, but, often, one awakening isn't going to take you 'all the way,' also it seems like you're after some sort of a blissful state or 'high' that lasts forever, that isn't awakening. True awakening is the acceptance of whatever arises in the here and now, without any resistance whatsoever, whether it's the 'best' or 'worst' thing ever, hence the absolute peace and happiness that comes with true awakening, as you are in the natural state and flowing with life. It is not a permanent blissy high.

Of course, absolutely speaking, Bill Gates is you, and hating him won't help free yourself, but it doesn't mean he shouldn't be punished or investigated relatively speaking. Just like the rapist or murderer will face the consequences for his actions. All I will say is do your own research on what is actually going on in the world, beyond mainstream media sources and doctors. One spiritual teacher on the internet doesn't have all the answers to the world's problems, and neither does a sinister billionaire, who has said he believes the world's population should be around 500 Million and follow the money, who benefits when a global vaccine is pushed... For anyone who is interested, this is a good place to start. A worldwide mandatory vaccine is like a wet dream for Gates and his 'foundation.' @Leo Gura I'm surprised you have so much fear around COVID-19 because of the virus, considering your obsession with absolute and existential truths, I guess I expected you to dive deeper into relative truths. Mandatory vaccines are not fundamental survival lol, 99% of deaths in Italy came from people with 1,2 or more underlying health conditions, so why does anyone beyond the vulnerable have to be mandatorily vaccinated, shouldn't they get the choice for themselves? Enjoy your vaccine. Do you still think 9/11 was actually not an inside job? I understand if you want to distance yourself from these things due to your brand but to flat out deny anything other than what you're told is very naive.

@roar The pinnacle of greed is living in a small one bedroom apartment in the Isle of Wight. I'll give you that he likes hearing himself speak! However, I think you've listened to/ read very little of him, have you read 'The Trigger' or another of his more recent books? Or listened to one of his 10 hour lectures? His overall message is that we are infinite consciousness and are all the same, therefore, all of these divisions and arguments on X, Y and Z are not helpful at all. That all that exists is Infinite Love, and by understanding this and realizing the nature of reality we can set ourselves free, and create (relatively) the world we deserve to live in. Doesn't sound to different from most spiritual teachers to me?

What a legend that guy is!

You’re allowed to have fun, but you may drop some activities naturally if they were coming as an escape from a sense of lack. However, you could still do some activities like Movies, Music, TV, Video Games etc as a means of expressing and enjoying happiness, fun and love, instead of trying to escape from negative emotions in them and find happiness in them. Naturally, some things will drop away, so don’t set any rules, start your journey and see what you still feel “pulled” to do, and like others said how it makes you feel. In my case, I still play Video games at night sometimes with friends as I find it fun and rewarding and it’s good to socialise. I also still enjoy some good TV shows and Movies from time to time as I find these can be amazing stories and can be very entertaining to watch and enjoy, especially on streaming sites without ADs. However, I’m cutting out Porn as it in my case just isn’t worth it at all, negatively effects my relationship I feel and has no real positives in my life. I’m also limiting social media to help me focus more on my business and only using it for connecting with people instead of mindless scrolling. I’d encourage you to see where the motivation for these activities are coming from and then go from there. Everyone is different!

@actualizing25 sorry for derailing the thread slightly, to answer your question this is what was most effective for me (aside from the basics people have mentioned already) Working 1-1 with an awakened being through any blockages/ issues/ struggles you are having on your path. Transmissions- Silence is always the highest teaching, as the truth can only be found in silence, any words we speak are simply a modulation of the truth, but of course necessary in most cases and helpful. If you can and are ready, I would certainly recommend working with a teacher 1-1, it, to me, is far more effective than attending Satsangs (which has its uses as well!), watching videos& reading books (again have their uses) Its like being taught sport in a group setting or 1-1, when 1-1 you can focus more diligently on your own issues and where exactly you are going wrong etc. Was extremely helpful for me!

@Javfly33 Porn isn’t inherently bad, just like nothing is, however, relatively speaking, excess use can have negative effects in ones life that go beyond Dopamine, although if I remember rightly studies showed the increase similar to that of a Cocaine user. I mean check any NoFap forums or the book Your Brain On Porn, it basically desensitises you to natural sexuality, and has even caused ED in young males, as well as a host of other issues, I’d say it’s a much bigger issue than most want to quit. And, most don’t wan to face it as it is such a hard vice to quit for many, and is so widely used, and of course people in the industry won’t say cut down as they make so much $$$ from the people who are hooked, similar to the gambling industry. Also, side note, just be careful not to try and rationalise addictions and bad habits, I’m certainly guilty of this. I tried to rationalise porn for years, and I’m not saying it’s bad for everyone, but for me, the cons certainly outweighed the pros. Im also not saying quit everything you enjoy, not at all. I still use social media here and there, play video games at certain times and watch TV/ Movies, However, all of these are after I’ve completed work for example, and if I was going through a very busy phase in my business I would certainly limit them, as it can skyrocket your focus, id recommend looking into it a bit more. P.S. being bored is a good sign, explore that, we are so used to being stimulated and distracting ourselves, we often don’t give ourselves chance to investigate and rest. Also, this isn’t an absolute and won’t work for everyone of course, however, if you look at most top performers in their field, who are dedicated to their LP, they won’t be spending hours on Instagram or watching Porn, sure they will enjoy life, but the focus will be on their LP or main focus in their life at that time, that’s more what I’m talking about. I know for me, switching my phone off in work hours, cutting out porn, cutting down on TV/ Movies and video games in the week, fasting and cleaning up my diet has skyrocketed my ability to concentrate and focus during work hours. But, like I said everyone is very different, however, the rising cases of ADD are very alarming, although it goes way deeper than dopamine.

Not regards to SD here. but, follow your heart and go with whatever your heart is telling you to do, but make sure you’re in a good head space when you are deciding. Everyone is completely different awakening or no awakening. some wish to carry on a normal life (think Rupert Spira) some wish to live in their ashram forever (think Ramana) This could also change, so right now living like a monk could be what you desire more than anything, but in 5 years you may now be ready to start a family or build a business, so it’s not like you have to stick to anything forever. If you’re enjoying It, go for it man! I just wanted to add, no path is right or wrong, it’s what is best for you right now and what you truly desire. Don’t do something because you “should” do that, do it because you’d love nothing more than to spend your days like that. like for me, I’m the total opposite (but I’m An Enneagram 7 which explains a lot of my tendencies) and my main focus right now is growing and building my business That helps people, because I absolutely love it, and it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. Although the motivation has “evolved” post awakening, I used to think spirituality meant an end to “normal” life but it doesn’t at all, it just means life is an expression of happiness, and no longer a search for happiness/ peace/ love etc, so do whatever you love and enjoy most right now. it seems to me you are craving solitude and complete focus on sustainable living and awakening, so go after that, document your journey it’ll be cool!

@Nahm Thread solved as per. Awakening will radically transform your life in ways you Won’t know yet, although you can account for some. Essentially you will stop looking for happiness in things, relationships, activities etc and all of life will simply be an expression of your understanding, love and happiness. So, yes go design and manifest the life you desire to live, and enjoy it!
