I would say life pushed me to changed. All of life is ever changing and evolving. And it was simply just a matter of choice. I was going through a break up and at the time I was choosing to be a victim and go in circles. It took time, help and a tremendous amount of self honesty. I embrace a simple path. I celebrate the unknown and uncertainty of life. These are good things filled with possibilities for further transformation, a canvas to create on. I'm very careful with assuming and believing one system of thought. What if I keep my mind open and balanced and I can learn something from everyone? The language we use is very powerful. What vocabulary do you use? Are you being authentic when in your relationships, in your speech, in your action. The two biggest realizations for me were becoming conscious enough that I create my emotions and my life, through the beliefs I hold and the actions I take from those beliefs. I am not at the mercy of everything and for me I believe the middle path is for me where I live as a spiritual being but also embrace humanity. I love my life like this. I am responsible for my life, there is no way of getting out of this responsiblity. I am inherently valuable and already have everything I need within, am whole and complete in every moment. I allow it to be moment to moment that I am this wholeness and live the life I desire in flow. I am gentle with myself when I choose to look through what people here call the ego, and being honest and truthful is how I try to live my life always.

I know two project managers. And it can be an incredibly stressful job depending largely on your boss and work environment, like many other professions. One of them right now is actively applying everywhere to get out of it. You will be talking to a ton of people and constantly attending meetings and juggling tons of different tasks. If you can keep up with lots of stuff at once and act as a sort of operator, then you will do well. Try to get one at a well known company instead of a start up because start ups can have some really nasty people working in them.

@The Caretaker well are we in agreement you are creating the fear? If we are then why not choose to stop it, and instead create another emotion that will help you in this situation more?

The thing is conversations like this get muddied as everyone brings their beliefs and viewpoints I do agree we should follow our own inner guidance and intuition however. I think keeping one’s mind clean so you can stay in touch with this inner guidance is absolutely important.

I think your mind is bossing you around, and if you weren’t looking through this belief you would be looking through something else that is limiting your social interaction. Why do you believe having small talk means you are betraying your authentic self? I can relate that sometimes it is difficult to find people to talk to on topics we prefer like what you listed. But why then do you believe people have nothing else to offer in conversation? Have you considered there is maybe a larger life lesson here to learn if you put aside your judgement and made something wonderful out of these social opportunities you have even if the topic of discussion isn’t to your preference? I can actually relate a lot to what you are saying since it sounds very much like what I used to say. When you are spiritually aligned, even people and places that may not be at the top of our preference list hold opportunity in them when we recognize the unknown and uncertainty of reality. What if you went into these situations with an open mind and realized behind this small talk you don’t like lies invaluable lessons? i do believe honoring our inner guidance is crucial so definitely continue to stay in touch with that inner stillness, I would invite you to also perhaps look at that your belief system may be limiting you here and that some of this could be self imposed limitations that your authentic self actually wants you to address. It can be a bit tricky to discern sometimes our own authentic preferences and guidance meeting the realities of life but with practice it’s definitely possible.

Yes, all the time. I personally don’t really believe in coincidences. I see stuff like this happening as sort of guidance and signs I’m expanding my consciousness and there is information coming to me to further learn about life. Everything is in a constant state of change and I see every event that happens outside me as a sort of thing to make something from. In your case maybe this is helping you become more aware? To value who and what we have while it’s here? My ex also would constantly notice time numbers like 11:11, stuff like this. I believe the universe will absolutely talk to you in so many ways if you listen, this is invaluable guidance through life.

Going out and approaching anyway even if you are scared is a good way to move forward, do that, but it glosses over why you were scared in the first place. Something is unresolved there. Ask yourself why you choose to create fear in this situation. Believe it or not there are many people who feel zero fear talking to people at parties, including beautiful women. Why do you choose to be scared though? It is not happening automatically. You are choosing to create that fear but you are not conscious of how or why you are. And there is a reason for it as well. Feelings do not exist in a vacuum. There is a belief behind the fear. You can push and power through it, that's fine, do that, but don't miss the deeper lesson by only doing that.

you don't need to do too much swapping out. what if your mind naturally heals like a physical cut omn your body if you know how to remove what is impeding this natural development? Does a seed have to consciously swap out stuff to grow into a tree? I believe a human life in many ways is like a seed turning into the tree. You have to water yourself, plant yourself in the right place, take care of yourself, etc. But you din't have to do too much in terms of engineering yourself. If anything you need to reverse engineer all the beliefs that are limiting you from childhood. what does it take to truly change how the psyche operates? Realizing you are the creator, not a victim. This is crucial. You have to realize you are not a victim, you are responsible for your life, you are at the center, not the affect. You need to align with your true value and know aligning with this guides you.

I permanently changed my mind using self inquiry, allowing myself to mature and aligning myself with spirituality / truth. Yes, it is possible to resolve every single issue you have, take responsiblity for your life and create what you desire.

Like Leo said, it's not that complicated. Mushrooms can expand and personify some very dangerous personal beliefs people hold, usually due to unresolved issues from their childhood / trauma, and largely due to their unhealthy psychology and a lack of awareness of their responsiblity for their beliefs, they can look through those beliefs while on shrooms and act very violent. The higher the dose the more intense. It's why I don't believe these substances should be used unsupervised by people with unresolved mental health problems.

Why do you choose to create fear?

I don't know. I don't know what the Tao is.

I read this book back in 2021 and it was very helpful. I would say this form of communication is also the one I try to use with self inquiry.

Yeah probably, I’ve been wanting to clean up my algorithm.

You guys talk way too much about these scammers and instead neglect your own innate knowing and inner guidance towards your full and authentic potential. Stop listening to all these scammers for Christ sake and starting doing something you’re passionate about. That is literally all the guidance you need in life.

I’ve notice on my social media there is sort of a red pill equivalent for women where it’s all about getting a “high value” man and having him pay for everything. Most of the content seems to be coming out of Miami or Dubai. Women giving advice to women how they are the prize. Sometimes women as old as 30 who slept with everyone giving the advice. It’s really weird.

Careful with the Tate advice. You never know what they are lying about. these guys are potentially very dishonest people but I don't know for certain. just giving you an alternative perspective on the authority and value you give information, not actually knowing what it's made of or seeing the true story behind it. As for what he is saying, it is not difficult*** to have 5 girlfriends if you are loaded in Eastern Europe, if that is what you want, you can find five beautiful women who need financial support if you set your life up logistically to support that and just trawl instagram and find five girls impressed by your cash, you could keep several of them around for a while as long as the cash is flowing and you have an expensive lifestyle. It doesn't require much experience in relationships unless you are severely under experienced or have limiting beliefs about yourself that create fearful emotions around women. You are much better off getting advice from pretty typical dudes who are performing amazing with women and have a lifestyle you can see yourself obtaining in the next 12 months. Trying to learn game from some rich guy doing mansion parties in Eastern Europe is very different from what you will be doing in real life. *** the only things difficult about it would placing your self worth in the number of beautiful girlfriends you have and also the massive amounts of imbalances this causes if you have friends, a business and your health to maintain.

i'm conflicted. i want to support civil liberties but why does every time it goes super LGBT it goes sorta overboard? I lived n eastern europe and it was genuinely refreshing to be in a place where people aren't so loud about who they sleep with and traditional values are quietly on display. I actually prefer it and i am fine with all the LGBT clubs and lifestyles in those places if it isn't pushed like some religion. can we live n harmony and allow equal rights for all lgbt while maintaining the tranquility of a traditional value society, where being LGBT isn't promoted like some fad that can confused all the kids looking for an identity?

crazy how much potential there is in tech to really better everyone's lives but it's devolved in many ways to some sort of feudalist battle of the over lords between some of the most egotistical people ever, a tragedy of the commons to sustain this unsustainable blob, and they really promising they gonna save us from climate change and all the world problems. when will humanity see through all the lies and illusions much of what modern tech is based on, not even the tech itself but how it's used.

Love is not a commodity to give or receive. It’s something you create within yourself and your partner mirrors it back to you. If you choose to create love for this person your whole life , then yes My question is why are you setting expectations and standards though? Seems like you think if this doesn’t occur the love one created wasn’t true but I would not agree with that. It’s possible but do you believe you have to live up to this standard you set? Because it may not occur because people change so it’s not guaranteed

He’s basically talking about how core beliefs from childhood can go unresolved if not examined. You can have a materially easy existence and create a tremendous depression for yourself.

Conversations here tend go in an unnaturally woo woo / insufferable way outside the spirituality section, so I will keep my message pragmatic and de mystified. Basically from a young age due to our upbringing many of us come to the conclusion or assumption, due to our lack of reasoning abilities as a child, that we need other people to be whole and complete. This isn’t to be mistaken with any sort of survival process which is predicated on many other people and our own skills and the resources around us. but any disharmony / painful emotions you may experience when you are not receiving attention and approval from other people in your life such as a partner, friend or parent is your own creation. You have some sort of belief about needing other people in your life to be happy / whole / valuable, which is untrue. now this doesn’t mean we have great appreciation for everyone. Each human is unique and different and valuable and there is a ton to do and see with other people, and people can serve as a powerful mirror towards us as well. So I’m not saying human relationships aren’t a part of a sort of balanced way of living, but do you NEED them to give you value and purpose in life? No, you choose to doubt your own self worth and natural wellbeing whenever you put other people as a mandatory requirement in order to feel happy and good.

there are a ton of problems with porn in not sure consuming it is necessarily always harmful though depending on the content, if it was made with integrity, and your own habits I do think porn is way too available online for underage people, I do believe porn does skew the mind if you don’t have experience and haven’t been able to form loving relationships, I do think porn can be used like a drug and it def adds more to superficial aspects of society, it def can be misused but I also think it’s a reflection of deeper issues. Just by watching it though I’m not sure it can be harmful. What’s the difference between that and masturbation without porn ?

I was living with my ex up until two months ago, lived together for two years. Honestly it's been really challenging ending, but I'm starting this new chapter little by little each day.

I prefer Taoism much more
