no need to be out of your comfort zone, if people are dumb and won't advance me, i am out group dynamics is hard so if it is not conducive i won't waste time one on one i give people every chance, the dumbest are the funnest especially when you are pretty dim yourself, everyone is god's gift

people speak per their level of consciousness, something i marvel at rather than meddle in secret is, never argue with people, disagree all you like namely state your truth and move to the next no one wants you to change them

reading aloud is grossly ineffective for information retention, even speaking the words as you read needs to be eliminated

know that all you see is good, you however are not that good but that's fine since you are the only thing you can ever change

make it a personal non negotiable, schedule it and stick to it, important things are best done first in the morning, no social media until spiritual work completed

i don't allow an indulgent thought in the morning, i do robot mode and execute scheduled tasks basically the same tasks each day mind loathes being shut out but over time has gotten tame meek compliant takes time to get to this state but anyone could do it if they want it

every day suffering will confront you you may bring it on consciously to help you and the outside may bring it on mercilessly to hurt you it slows you or it grows you up to you cheers Leo for the nugget

here's the path belief -> knowledge -> experience -> existence contemplate this

thought is energy that you haven't put to bed namely unfinished business, if you put it to bed it won't arise any longer thought is the past you are trying to map onto the present ... not a good approach thought is the story that you are the person in the mirror ... fact is you have no say in that person's life

yes indeed that is what TMI teaches but do be careful the word concentration is not ideal, calming or pacifying is a better way of going, here is a vid that explains way better than i could https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giDJNVPs014

in life you either accept what is or suffer what's not ego likes what's not saying it will bend reality to its own will hey ego, there is an easier way to live life - wake up!

arguing is the idea that someone is wrong everyone is right according to their level of consciousness i have no business or duty to step in and speak truth everyone out there is perfect and exactly where they are supposed to be i work on myself and i let others be

youtube is relaxation mode even though it is a great learning tool; relaxation is end of day activity; i schedule 2 hours for video content daily, if i watch a movie or a leo vid that will be it for the day; oftentimes early in the day i come across vids i want to watch so i put them in the queue and will watch later in the day/week; if a vid is 30 minutes or more long, i will scan the transcript to see if i want to invest the time and in particular read the conclusion two hours is the sweet spot for me, after two hours off to sleep

people who talk about people won't awaken write threads on how YOU are waking up rather than hurling stones everyone i see here is perfect no matter how awake they are and i am grateful for everyone's contribution i don't condemn you like this thread does, i embrace you i salute you i love you

is the converse true? if its exists am i conscious of it? no ... this is the world of spirituality and god thus consciousness is a subset of existence, everything is nothing part of existence, everything? yes ... nothing is just what i can't be conscious of in summary, existence, everything = consciousness + nothing

i am i am this is clear and all springs from this

if i'm conscious of it it exists sight sound smell taste touch thought

thoughts are pretty subtle, i do however find it helpful to count eye blinks with walking meditation, after you get settled they tend to zero

all is pointers ... do the minimum you can ... need and desire for movement decreases over time eventually to zero but takes patience body gets tougher and falls into line with what you want of it, crazy what it is capable of if you stick with it

god doesn't experience think feel know anything ... it would need to be human to do so ... you were never god despite what some teachers say ... you are god and god is you are different assertions with only one of them true as we used to say when i was a church-goer, i'm on god's team but god is not on mine

when self help ends self halt begins namely spirituality ... don't confuse the two ... broadly former is the first half of life other is second half

everyone is a budding narcissist depending on 1. one's suffering narcissistic abuse 2. one's talent at persuading 3. one's success doing it very easy to get swept up in this kind of devilry especially when you hear spiritual teachers telling you that you are god

ego is an actor and everything ego says is a performance trying to entrench its position ... yes we may escape its clutches to some degree but ultimately we are taking care of what's mine and we are not free to do otherwise we are all playing the game and doing what is best for number one and its interests, all around are friend or foe, colleague or competitor ... we do good stuff for friend and will do bad stuff to foe

awareness is potent prayer, can you hang out there for a minute in god's masterpiece thankful to know the hotline to heaven in your silence

good stuff ... to shut the mind 99% when out walking, count steps one til ten then repeat your mind is given a repetitive task which takes 1% cpu and you are free now to go bliss mode also look up now down, skwwards is where the god stuff is, the unawakened are glum ever looking down can do this in the home too, count breaths, same technique in one out two in three etc.
