Exactly, and gaining a deeper awareness of precisely why we do the things we do, coupled with becoming good at feeling sensations in the body, is basically the key to emotional healing.

I hear you, for me emotional healing is a vital element of the spiritual path, not something separate from it. Many people have big awakenings, but their lives still suck, precisely because there's still loads of emotional healing to be done.

To be honest we don't really know what he needs, perhaps medication, but we are simply giving our perspectives. I totally agree that it is good to connect with what fires us up. In the short term some much needed cash can also make a difference in one's sense of wellbeing. The point that I'm making is that not all jobs need to be scary. Some jobs have hardly any stress to them. Some jobs are even therapeutic in nature. It's just a different perspective, no one is forcing him to get a job right away.

There is perfect intelligence to all of this. We are all traumatized in some way during youth, and a lot of needs are not met. Ultimately the eventual realization is that we are the only ones that can give ourselves everything that we always wanted. And then we become capable of expressing ourselves in more healthy and effective ways.

Make the body stronger and more flexible, without going to extremes. Detoxify. And really ground yourself in the body. Also useful to learn how to deal with panic attacks. Get good at feeling what you don't want to feel, by meeting it with love.

Finding purpose and doing what we truly love is important. Yet financial freedom is usually not something that comes immediately that way. Having too strong a resistance to jobs in general can cause a lot of unnecessary financial suffering. It's not so black and white, not all jobs are dry. Valuable experience in dealing with people and authority figures can be gained this way. For example, relationship with the boss is usually a projection of relationship with a father figure.

This actually works.

Yeah, solipsism is one facet of the diamond, but Leo's Infinity Gods seems to point to something more profound.

Cheers, thanks.

If you have everything you always wanted, what is preventing you from simply enjoying that ? Cultivating curiosity, appreciation, and a sense of wonder for the mystery of life, without demanding immediate answers, is a good place to be. Another good one to investigate, when you look at yourself in the mirror, can you say I love you without any resistance ? If not, then perhaps look for deeper understanding as to how you view yourself and why you have that perspective. Getting to know yourself better first is a good doorway.

@Leo Gura So is solipsism simply a pointer to realize yourself as God in a deeper reality, and that deeper reality is actually not solipsistic at all ?

Thank you for the pointers, much appreciated.

I dont live in America, but if I did I would go visit the ECETI ranch, seems like a place with a high likelyhood of seeing these highly advanced craft. People have reported experiencing a high degree of love while witnessing them.

This is wild, do you know what the name of the instrument is in the first video ?

I like that, thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you for your patience in talking about this topic.

Yeah, why would a solipsistic sage tell apparent others about solipsism, if those apparent others didnt have minds of their own ?

Of course from the Absolute level there are no others. But in the relative level, Ramana didnt say that apparent others dont have minds.

Well now you are basically admitting the validity of apparent others who have the potential to wake up to God.

Yes, from the ultimate level there is just One. Still, if you have awakened to solipsism, whats the sense in telling me about it ? Also, Leo is brilliant, but somehow he is the only prominent teacher in all of history that teaches solipsism.

I didnt say it was justified.

But thats precisely it, the other fingers can also awaken and see that they actually are the whole. You yourself at one point believed yourself to be just a finger no different from the way the other fingers see themselves. Which means the vehicle you used to awaken is just as imaginary as all the other vehicles. Why should you have a more special claim to Consciousness than any of the other fingers ? Saying that the apparent others cant awaken because they are imaginary, does not make sense, because you as a finger/tentacle are also imaginary.
