You may want to start by deeply reflecting on the possibility that finding Truth through asking humans is a futile endeavor, and that it ultimately gives your power away.

To ask this questions assumes that consciousness has some independent mechanical function to it (ie. a start point and end point). This is assumption is totally wrong. There is nothing mechanical about consciousness.

Seems to me like we never discuss sobriety as a means to improve one's life. Maybe I'm missing something..

Somewhat, I started to realize that my career (although lucrative .. six figures) really didn't have any grounding that connected to my passions and emotions. Luckily, I have made clear my life purpose, and will spend the next decade or two actualizing it. It's challenging, you'll go through swings of nihilism, followed by intense creativity and fun pursuing the pragmatic elements of life. Patience, introspection and contemplation are key. Align your top values with your work .. but that first requires you to find out what your top life values are.

This is a sad attempt by the OP to become a martyr ..

Lol I’ll pass .. that wouldn’t help me one bit.

To describe it with language would not do it justice. Since you are the only thing that exists, the answers are all within you .. it will take lots of courage and fortitude to come to the realization. As you can tell by the reactions to my speaking of the Truth, many will try to dissuade and discourage you .. mainly because they lack the courage to find it in themselves. By all means, don’t let it deter you. Best of luck.

Hate to break it to you, but this ain’t awakening. God isn’t within nature, nature is within God…as is all of Existence. To live in a world of should and shouldn’t is the ego’s game. I’ll pass on that.

If the awakening didn’t include the realization of you as God, then it’s not a real awakening. Best to be realistic here.

This does not sound genuine .. in actuality, you wouldn’t be okay if you don’t become enlightened .. you wouldn’t have even started the path if this was the case. To answer the question, the measure of your success will be directly correlated with how much you can love existence itself, unconditionally.

@SS10 Lol .. you are asking for trouble

Then there you go .. don’t stop gaming until you have exhausted this desire.

Whatever you tell yourself you are, is what you will manifest into reality. Makes no sense to have shitty psychology, and then complain about it. Either be happy with your bleak outlook on life, or do something to change it.

It’s all up to you. Most heterosexual men in their 30s and 40s are looking to settle down with a serious wife or girlfriend. Game is all about the intention behind it. Is it sex with no strings attached, a girlfriend, a wife, a family etc? Our intentions change as we get older. The endpoint should be whenever the intent materializes into something real.

When you realize that you are the God you talk about, you then understand that you are responsible for your suck ass life. Get your mind together if you want to start getting results. A victim mentality will do you no good.

@Maru yea .. but from what I read, psychedelics are like 1000x more effective than weed can ever be. Plus, they don't work on dopamine receptors the chance for addiction is very low. With weed, you run the risk of becoming an addicted pot head .. not getting anything done and only getting minor spiritual insights.

Start with being open to the idea that you may not be the human you think you are .. rather it being just an appearance in your imagination .. along with everything else. When you deeply contemplate this, pay attention to how you feel .. intense emotions usually signify a strong attachment to ego. Really dive into the content of Actualized.org to make sense of such questions, it will help you a ton.

You are speaking as though God is separate from existence. God is Existence. Existence is infinite .. with no beginning and no end. This makes God immortal .. as you probably already intuited.

This is quickest path to becoming an incel. Don’t fool yourself into thinking this is somehow a good thing.

“Live and let live” societies will never be tenable, humans are too selfish for that lol. I propose looking at things systematically. The raw truth is that many (especially Americans) love their meat and animal products. Not to mention the poor underdeveloped countries that can’t afford quality health food. You’ll start to see changes when the sheer amount of health issues such as obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes and cancer are widespread to where the majority agrees that it isn’t sustainable for survival..which is all most people care about. Ecological health comes second to survival for most..humans have to learn the hard way before advancing to something higher. Best to be an example of a healthy Being in your personal life and not press it on others.

Try not to be perfectionistic about this work, it will backfire. Meditation at its essence is simply being still and letting go. Let your mind run wild, until its tired and becomes chill.

This moment is something you are dreaming .. cut out all of the fluffy words and get straight to it.

Key word: Ideas .. which are grounded in nothing. I have my standards of right and wrong, but the difference between me and the typical moralist is that I understand they are my standards and mine alone. Fundamentalist and crusaders of all kinds miss this point .. their ideology blinds them. Moralism is founded upon the notion that everyone should have your level of standards .. which is delusional.

@Maru How often do you smoke pot?

Not really .. a fundamentalist Christian assumes people go to Hell for not following the ten commandments .. Vegetarian/vegan crusaders can assume those will go to Hell for eating meat, and consuming animal products. Although it's not in a literal sense, there is this notion of absolute good and evil .. which is false thinking.
