@Gesundheit Thank you.? You are right.

But should I start building my nest before I know how I want my nest to be? Sure a lot of those nests around me look great and their creators are comfortable in them but they wouldn't fit me the same and I'm unsure how I want it built. Is it wise to start building without a plan and just hope for the best?

@Preety_India Although I cant positively say what my purpose is I can confidently say that it is more than just surviving. I guess that's a start right?

Yeah this is already something I'm highly considering.

@Megan Alecia How do you find purpose and meaning? I know it almost sounds like im asking someone to find my purpose for me but that's really not it.

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking... But I feel like the answer is probably no. I still struggle somewhat with balancing everyday life (5 kids, wife, pets, food, providing etc.) with spiritual practice. I haven't found out how to do them simultaneously. I have a 7 day solo trip to the woods planned for this coming spring. I hope that helps with the disconnecting and inquiry.

Well done?

@willl Thank you. And yeah I plan to not be on my phone at all.

My fiance and I have a total of 5 children and we both VERY rarely get more than a couple hours alone. Like MAYBE twice a year will we get more than that. We have planned for us both to take a separate 1 week vacation alone in a tent in a forest. We will be bringing 1 weeks worth of food/water/etc. so we will not have to buy anything during the week. Any ideas for making this 1 week solo trip as constructive as possible? And has anyone done anything similar? I will be meditating, sight seeing, and probably some psychedelics(safely) but I just cant see how i will fill an entire week! My life is so crazy and always moving and planing while in the middle of other plans and whatever else. I dont remember what its even like to be able to have a day to myself. This will be an interesting experience and im looking forward to it.

What have been some things you have struggled with/had a difficult time with along your spiritual journey? How did you end up getting through them? Congratulations Leo. Thank you for the life changing material. My life is already better than I ever pictured it would be after just one year real work on myself and I'm only 1 of a million subscribers. You're making a difference.

I second this. Would be quite amusing to hear!

What are some things that you wish you knew or paid more attention to early on in your spiritual journey? What are some things you would've done differently.

@Danioover9000 What specific recommendations would you have for someone planning to start on self-inquiry?

@Danioover9000 Elaborate? Are you saying you wouldnt recommend self-inquiry?

@Natasha I would count out any food that can't be grown. Dead animal meat or lifeless animal eggs, I wouldn't consider high vibrational.

@electroBeam elaborate?

Doing shrooms in space? Yes please. Imagine zero gravity while tripping.

Any thoughts on modern science getting more interested in topics like this? How much will science be able to do in this field? I am interested to see where it goes. http://awarenessact.com/some-science-now-believe-that-the-universe-itself-is-conscious-science-universe/

Yes

@Leo Gura Do you find that learning about such topics like psychology has helped you come to a "true" understanding even though what they taught might not have always be fundamentally "true"? @Himanshu When learning a new subject i will frequently ask myself "Could I teach this to someone else right now?" If the answer isnt yes I do more studying.

I am starting Introduction to Psychology (college course) today and am thinking about how while studying amd learning it might become very easy to fall into the trap of self-delusion by becoming convinced that I now have a "true" understanding of subjects that arent truly understood and are quite likely more complicated than what will be involved in an introductory course. Any tips on avoiding this or should i not worry about it so much until more advanced courses.

@JayG84 Well put. Thank you.
