This is the other video, I feel you may resonate with the questioner- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O937dHmNxE

Best I've heard is from Francis Lucille who really helped me understand this, Essentially- your happiness isn't dependent on the outcome, so let's say you play a sport and want to win (of course) but if you lose, you're not suddenly going to become depressed forever, and if you win you'll of course feel joy, elevation what not, but its not going to be the reason you're happy. Also, another video that helped was a student asked Rupert Spira 'why do anything' (a more vague version of your question I guess) And he basically said- Practical Reasons e.g. Survival (similar to your example, you need money to live & people need housing) Then (ideally) simply as an expression of Happiness, Joy, love, fun, beauty etc, instead of in the search of these things. So, like watching a movie simply because you want to enjoy it Having a deep relationship with someone as an expression of love, not as a means to escape negative feelings. Here's the two videos that helped me with these questions- This also relates pretty heavily to advanced LOA / Manifestation / Conscious Creation techniques, I'm sure @Nahm can fill in where I miss, but from my reading, you start from happiness / Joy and then manifest from there for the fun & joy of it, from love simply because you want to experience that, and have the ability to create whatever the hell you want, so why not? Instead of, coming from a place of lack and thinking XYZ will fulfil you / make you happy, you come from Happiness / Love and create the life you want, simply because you want to, and that is unique to everyone, so for you, that may involve filling your investment properties, but goes far beyond that. So, simply start creating the life you know you will love because its fun. Spirituality doesn't mean giving up on life and becoming a rock ( I used to think that) its actually the opposite and makes life 10000x better

@Tim R Agree. I think it may be unpopular to say this on a forum like this but I believe healthy competition (Sports, Games etc) is also very helpful in guiding this, as it gives humans an outlet for energy, passion, aggression etc in a much more healthy manner. Of course things go too far (football hooligans for example) but even then, its gotten so much better compared to 30-40 years ago and Is certainly going in the right direction. Its going to take way beyond our lifetime to see any kind of world co-operation I imagine. @Joel3102 That's kinda what motivated me to post this, however, I wonder if anyone has ever looked into / programmed an AI to see how many events have been dubbed as potential 'WW3' since WW2?

So thankful to live in the UK when compared to countries like Australia & even Canada talking to some friends. I was on the phone to an Australian and he was saying in his state / province in peak summer they were only allowed 1 hour of exercise even when there was sub 10 deaths / day and less than a 1000 cases, absolute madness. Luckily, over here people haven't lost all grasps of reality (except those who have become famous 'relevant' as a result of fear mongering) and Vaccine passports have been scrapped, restrictions dropped & there's no talk of endless boosters, just one a year like the Flu. We're also hopefully getting rid of Vaccine mandates for health workers. It shows that when there is pushback (100+ politicians voted against these measures) that things can change which is good to see! To be honest though, its been kinda normal here since July, with a few hiccups around Christmas time, but the majority seem like they are done with restrictions since the booster rollout and want their lives back.

@vizual I think the most ironic thing of all, is that the longer this belief stays in Spiritual communities, the more money will end up in people's hands who really couldn't give 2 fucks about consciousness, truth, happiness, spirituality, love etc If anything, we need MORE rich 'Spiritual' people, because that's how society evolves. Just as a baseline example it would mean more food companies focused on health & wellbeing, and less focused on addiction & chemicals. More healthy products, less Coca-Cola & McDonalds And, that's just 1/1000000 examples. For example, I remember briefly seeing a Ben Greenfield podcast about a natural wine store owner who had this whole sustainable process, only like 6 hour work days, meditation for the whole staff before work, treated the warehouse like actual people not robots, it was super impressive What Leo has achieved should be seen as inspiration that you can become a conscious millionaire & make money doing whatever the fuck it is that you love, not making out he's 'less spiritual' for being wealthy

Personally, I would never want the girl I am in a relationship with to be on it, seen way too many horror stories & how much it can seriously fuck up someone's health. You have to be wayyyy more careful, but looking into this is what we did - https://www.naturalcycles.com/ Also will help you understand your cycles. Idk what its like in other countries but 'the pill' is so normalized over here its kinda scary, its basically assumed & accepted when you turn 18 / start having regular sex you'll go on it, most don't ever look at alternatives As a caveat, I Know as a male if you wreck your hormones it fucks you up, so I don't see why it would be all that different for Women, but its each individuals decision. As a personal experience I have seen a HUGE change in GF over last 3 months since coming off of it

A teacher is merely a friend helping you on your way home, to source. Ime, they are very helpful. But, don't put them on a pedestal & fall for the 'Guru Worship' trap, you are always your own Guru & all the answers are within, a ;good teacher' just helps guide you to those answers & help YOU find, understand & live truth in your own unique way. However, if you are going to work with someone 1-1 with sessions and what not I would recommend doing some research on them before spending $, checking in with people they've worked with etc. Good luck!

@Fleetinglife Good luck! This is not meant to sway your opinion, but just prepare for some kind of reaction in the coming days, basic flu / cold tips as 4/5 people I know that have had it so far were bedridden for several days, so I'd highly recommend preparing. Also would recommend a pretty heavy detox after, that's what I did after my Vax, and if I ever got a 'booster' I'd do the same, if not more intense. its simply a 14 day program of 100% clean eating, a few supplements & a few extras like celery juice / grounding / sauna + the usual basics. I'm sure you could find even more detailed ones from people like Ben greenfield

This is very normal, although I remember going through this especially pre-spirituality, very much a dark night of the soul. Once you realize Love, Joy & Happiness, you then partake in activities 'for those reasons' and simply for the fun of it. But yeah, you no longer believe a Lambo or whatever will make you happy, but you might still want to drive one for the fun of it, for example. Francis Lucille & Rupert Spira explain this well. @Nahm also does a great job with his conscious creation teachings, and remember not to feel guilty for wanting to create a life you love, we're here to have fun right?

Probs one of my favorite artists of all time, no doubt doing the amount of drugs he did likely led to some spiritual 'experiences' but awakened? No, I wouldn't say so. Although, his fascination with Love & pure artistry may have taken him there eventually, remember he was only 21 when he died, no doubt he would've outgrown certain aspects of the Rap game

Agree, it doesn't have to be either / or. Personally, I choose to 'hustle' on building online businesses, as this also creates assets you can eventually sell or keep as cash flow machines. With any excess money I'm not spending on living, I invest, personally I'm big on Crypto, you can certainly make more than 18% if you know what you're doing, however, you can also lose 50% in a matter of days, so be prepared for that However, Billionaires & macro investors like like Raoul Pal are focusing on Crypto, as it goes farrrrr beyond Bitcoin Personally, I would recommend mastering one area of Crypto investing, the amount of people I've seen on twitter go from barely anything up to 7-8 figures, is insane

Yeah, especially when you connect with the right people

This is awesome. So true, even with Exercise- playing your favorite sport / going to the gym when you love it doesn't require grind like discipline, whereas, doing an activity you hate (for me running long distance) involves that grind. How can we use Blissipline for the 'menial' tasks in life like doing taxes though

@Meliodas Good luck, most important thing is to create a lifestyle you can stick with forever & you enjoy

@Ry4n Same here, never really wanted to take the jab as don't really see why a healthy 21 year old needed it but was told take it & you can travel do whatever etc etc Now its take 1-2 jabs a year, or you can't do anything basically. (Especially in countries like France & Cyprus where you need a vaccine passport to get your weekly shop...) to me, it seems like a veryyyy slippery slope, one that many alternative media sources said would happen in March 2020... One things for certain, Pfizer, Moderna etc Stocks will only be going one way

+1 I mean in the UK we have 100,000 Healthcare workers that are losing their jobs as they don't want to take the jab. They've been on the frontline for the best part of 24 months, so surely its important to understand why they won't... Not just 'Anti-Vaxx' 'granny killer'

@iceprincess I swear everyday we get closer to living in a Black Mirror episode, if we aren't already. The most worrying thing of all, is people support it, wtf is happening

Read it, he had severe asthma himself & its an amazing book Why? I get the hesitation, but even without the dry mouth, it helps massively, this podcast clip explains- Deeper sleep etc Purifies the air, dust, dirt etc, wouldn't live without one anymore Yeah, its supposed to be uncomfortable haha. Its winter here but the benefits are endless honestly, not just health but the discipline of cold showers. Wim's 10 minute guided breathing on YT could be a good place to start, usually he takes it to the extreme with people tbh, your daily practice likely won't be that intense @Michael569 is the guy for this, sorted out most my health issues, including this Just at my Gym, I bought an infrared Sauna blanket over lockdown, so that could be your best option. Its one habit I will never give up, you just always feel amazing after a good Sauna.

@Michael569 Thoughts on this?

1) find out maintenance based on your height, weight & activity level 2) Eat 200-400 calories above maintenance, would suggest mainly wholefoods, and if you're taking things serious, supplements like Creatine, EAAS etc can be helpful 3) Weight Train 3-5 times a week, if you've never done it before 3 days full body probs the easiest way to go, find a programme you like, make sure your hitting sufficient volume, proper exercise selection, plenty of YTers & programs out there to pick from. Just to add a different anecdote, I'm by no means huge, but personally feel a LOT better now I've put on some muscle & have a training routine I stick to. Benefits go beyond the physical too, daily exercise helps a lot with overall mood, discipline & gives even more reason to eat properly & sleep properly. @Michael569 Has helped me set up a plan to do it all holistically & in the healthiest way possible, which I'm thankful for. My advice would be test out the Gym and see if its for you, no one size fits all, maybe you prefer running, or cycling etc, personally I prefer Gym & Sport, just find whatever you enjoy / can stick to long-term

I'm not going to go into the health aspects. All I will say is maybe there's a reason a lot of the greatest sages- Ramana, Buddha, Rupert, Sadhguru, Francis, Jean Klein etc are vegetarian. Maybe there's not though. Guess its for each of us to figure out right? Personally, haven't eaten meat / dairy for over 6 years, started for health, continued for compassion. Can't see myself ever going back, unless I developed health issues as a result, but so far the opposite has been the case.

Lol, try interacting with Communists on Twitter, they'll outright call themselves 'Marxist-Lenninists' and some even idealize Stalin, kinda low-key scary how easy it is to be radicalized these days, to either side. I feel at school (at least in the UK) we were taught just how evil & horrific the Nazis were, but never properly learned about Stalin / Lenin. Maybe this explains why so many young people cling to communism as some ideal? Not sure

Have you ever tried Hypnosis? Sounds like your subconscious beliefs need to change, as well as learning about diet etc, I know people who used it for smoking successfully and they were massive addicts, I'm testing it out atm for Porn even though I've mostly quit just to see if changing the subconscious does really help!

@BadHippie This is a great post, really enjoyed reading it. Also, so true how easily hate & aggression comes into the mix

@Yarco Right? I never understand why people wanna rush through their human experience, especially when spirituality tends to exponentially improve it (after the inevitable seeking, and dark night of the soul for most etc) Like why not enjoy your time here first?
