I find it a little strange that when a topic like "global awakening" is mentioned, most on this forum just make it out to be new age speak. When my first meditation teacher started her spiritual journey in the 70's she literally had to drive to another city to find a tiny esoteric bookstore hidden somewhere. Actualized.org has more than a million students today, and that's just one example. I think people underestimate how this thing is going to snowball exponentially in our own lifetime. The same goes for technology, people underestimate the exponential rate at which change is speeding up.

Combine shadow work with bliss/satisfaction work, see Leo's latest two videos.

@mandyjw , @Inliytened1 Thank you

Perhaps I'm wrong, but even for an enlightened person there would still be some existential suffering when others are still suffering. It's all parts of the same self isn't it ?

The way I understood her was, even if I reach a stage where I don't suffer anymore, but others around me are still suffering, then my work isn't done.

Anything specific in her teachings that tipped you off ?

I think Teal Swan said this once: No one is really enlightened until everyone is enlightened.

Thank you.

Sometimes it feels to me that teachings like those of Abraham Hicks simply exploit humanity's aversion to suffering. Exploit is perhaps too harsh a term, but I do wonder if these kinds of teachings can actually be detrimental to an integrated awakening ?

Beautiful, thank you for sharing.

Yeah he's a special talent, been teaching since he was like 19.

Not answering your question, but I thought this was pretty cool, gambling experiments done using heart resonance, with significant results in Vegas.

@Raptorsin7 Trying to figure out how conscious spiritual teachers are based purely on their teachings is still guess work. You just don't know what's going on in their inner world. Just because one person's teachings might seem quite simple, and another's more vast, does not automatically mean the latter is more conscious.

These conversations about how conscious someone is that you haven't even met, feel like a talking into the wind.

When struggling on your own, it is always an option to look for a good intuitive healer in your area.

Combining shadow work with bliss work helps a lot. We can get stuck in focusing on feeling our pain. It really helps to give the childhood versions of us the infinite satisfaction they always wanted. Lets say I experienced a huge loss as a child. This is going to sound like woohoo, but the more I play with the imagination of having had a perfect childhood where that loss did not happen and feeling what that feels like, the more I will notice positive shifts in my identity in the present. The reason this works so well is because infinite love is the case anyway and you are the ultimate creator of your life. This technique can speed up the healing process tremendously.

Yeah I hear you, I just have this feeling that if Elon saw their vision he'd be more than willing to invest, I might be wrong, still if I was them that would be the first person I'd approach.

@aurum I wonder why they don't connect with someone like Elon Musk to get some proper funding, it feels like this project has been taking forever to get off the ground ?

Cool, thanks

Are there any plans to replicate The Venus Project in other parts of the world ?

@catcat69123 sorry, here's the other link

@catcat69123 The next best thing is to listen to teachers on Youtube that you resonate with. See if you can listen to talks on the topic of self love from as many different angles as possible. And begin to see your current situation as a blessing not a curse. You are starting your spiritual journey at a relatively young age and you have the necessary solitude to do so. Once you discover a teacher that you like, really study their work, let that teacher be like a friend in a way. Self love really is key, with that all good things come. Matt Kahn is a brilliant teacher you might enjoy. ps you are alive, focus more and more on what a miracle that is within itself. Abraham Hicks is also good energy to take in.

@catcat69123 I hear you, if I was you I would join different spiritual groups in my city, surround myself with friendly likeminded people, seek out the wisest and most compassionate people there, and be willing to learn. And don't be so hard on yourself, you're still young.
