More like women are more socially sophisticated than men. This is because they more feelings oriented over logic, and it shows in the socialization / maintenance of relationships. This is a positive trait that women don't get credit for. They balance out the social dysfunctions of men quite well.

The problem is you are wanting someone to assure you. You need to take responsibility for being stuck in wage slavery, either you are going to do something about it or not. Yes.

The only way you'll find out is to actually do the work to escape wage slavery.

The notion of faith is deeper than this, I would say. Faith is a tool for grounding, what you decide to put your faith in is up to you. It could be money, fame, sex, religion, science and many other aspects of reality...etc, etc. Ultimately, one needs to have faith in the highest aspect of reality .. which is Truth itself.

Of course .. specifically fear of failure, or even fear of success. Celebrity actors and Tom Brady most likely felt fear in their pursuits, but persisted (passion is a key ingredient). Also, escaping wage slavery does not mean you need to be the next Brad Pit or Tom Brady .. it should be rooted in your life purpose and top values.

@Hardkill Not sure why you are probing this so deeply, are you conflicted on if you should escape wage slavery or not? You are right that escaping wage slavery isn't for everyone, but those who deem it not right for them is not because of some external circumstance, they are simply comfortable with being a wage slave, or they have other fear / limiting beliefs.

This is my first online forum experience, and from what i can tell .. online forums seems to be very attractive to socially dysfunctional people. I keep my expectations quite low .. after all, you can't really connect or get to know a person's true character from just interacting with them on the internet.

Be careful of freely giving out the title of "enlightened" to other humans beings, especially if you haven't reached it yourself. This is a quick way to get preyed upon by Zen devils.

Making money on the free market is not exclusive to Orange, and can be done at all levels of the spiral. One should not demonize capitalism, in the same way that one should not demonize socialism. Each has its pros and cons.

These are the lies you tell yourself to prevent you from doing real work to clean up your life. Spiritual truths are not meant to be used to settle for mediocrity. Reality might be an illusion, but there are "real" seeming consequences to your procrastination and lack of action. Truly awakened Beings understand this.

Start by accepting responsibility for all aspects of your life. This is hardest, yet most essential. Your quality of life is directly correlated to the amount of responsibility you take.

Because you imagine it to be that way.

In 2021, I realized that one should be grateful for each day that we are alive. The idea of a "good" vs. "bad" year went away, and I understood that we all learn valuable lessons throughout life .. even from the "bad" years.

You are drawing unnecessary distinctions. Words like "two" and "different states" need to ultimately be collapsed. There is only one state, and that state is one of Being Infinitely Conscious. There is nothing separate from this state, You have been in the same state for eternity.

Not in a conventional sense .. I often express gratitude to God, and yet at the same time .. I am expressing that same gratitude to myself.

Makes complete sense, almost all hospitals were overwhelmed during the pandemic, and continue to be in some places. I hope nurses worldwide are provided adequate employee resources for therapy and counseling.

Hmm, maybe not slower thinking .. but elevated, more sophisticated thinking. Becoming more conscious allows us to clearly see through our self deceptive and bullshit thoughts. It's all about separating Truth from falsehood.

Existence will not bend to your ego's preferences. This is a hard truth that you'll have to come to accept.

Why are you listening to someone that is imaginary? Lol

haha the #FreeDumb hashtag should be patented lol

God is Jesus, but it’s also all of us. Nothing special about Jesus as a man per say. He is just a fragment of infinite consciousness.

There is an old saying that goes “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.. basically meaning that what is beautiful is relative and unique to every human. It helps to find try to find beauty in everything .. including ugliness. This improves our relationship to God’s design of reality.

I just let it go honestly .. if it gets really irritating, I’ll just stop engaging conversation with that person altogether.

Non duality simply implies that all of reality is indistinguishable. This can be both conceptualized and embodied .. which makes it special.

Realized for the first time how Christmas is deeply embedded in the social matrix .. so took a step back this year. Spending time with family today, but only to observe the dysfunction lol.
