  1. Nothing wrong. You need to understand though, that most people aren't living like that, internally it's a fuckfest of melodrama, denials, resistances, and fears. Even though from the outside it may not look like it, because people put masks to hide all this to the public, and even to themselves. Even if what you say is true, that you're 95% of the time happy, no problems of any kind internally, then the other 5% can still cause you great pain, and totally own you. Those 5% may not have made you suffer enough yet to seriously consider spirituality, to see that it is the most important part of your life, In fact it is your life, whether you deny it or not.
  2. When you recognize the space/silence inherent in everything, and just observe it, Is it already inquiring, or there is a deeper layer that I never touched ? There is no difference between meditation and day to day life where I'm at, When I inquire, the only thing that I instantly focus on after a question is this space/silence too. It may sound stupid af, but I prefer to ask ??
  3. Your mind that is constantly seeking meanings, rationalizations and certainty isn't really the problem. Those are symptoms. As an ego you identify with thoughts/dogmas (religious or scientific) and opinions. In truth you don't have to pick a definite side, you can just observe all of this completely neutrally. You will still have thoughts/dogmas and opinion, but you won't identify by taking a stance internally on them. You will know they are relative and not true in their essence. Which means you will be able to live a life with no certainty about anything in the end, which is why highly conscious people are so peaceful. They don't see the mind stuff as real, but they use it as a tool to express their relative view/stance. In time thoughts/dogmas and opinions will greatly diminish in volume, this is a side effect of seeing the mind for what it is, a perception, rather than yourself. Chasing a blank mind isn't what you should focus on if you want peace of mind, but clarity over it, seeing it from a distance so to speak. You could have a very blank mind most of the time, but when shit goes haywire, you would still suffer, because identification to the mind would still be there. This won't probably make a lot of sense for you now, but if you keep looking at your mind as an external perception, as a visual/sound imagery, you will ?
  4. I won 't take your illusory advice into account ?
  5. I didn't know Actualized.org turned into an internet tabloid. Good to know ?
  6. That's what happens every week on this forum ?
  7. Practice practice practice ... You will suck at it at first, but that's the only way. If you couple this with lots of meditation and shadow work, and genuine acceptance, it will go waaaaay more smoothly.
  8. You only have the shallow attraction on your side, watch again the video about what women really want. Hint: It's not money, status, loyalty, financial security or looks despite what they say. Most women don't know consciously what attract them, so you can't take their words about this. You can attract a woman on the short term with this if you have the other 5 points to a minimum, But you'll never keep her very long if you don't excel at at least 2/3 of the points that really push their buttons. Watch the video again. And don't fear to learn about the subject, you're just going to stay stuck. Yes you may not have to feel the pain to look directly at your flaws, but if you don't you'll always suffer like you do now, and worse and worse with time.
  9. How much self deception there is, even when you genuinely try to ne honest with yourself, so much layers of deceptions. How long you can be stuck on concept land or experience chasing land, for some peoole it takes decades even their whole life to stop doing this. Easily in the top 3 reasons not to awaken. How simple it is, basically just being conscious, and it's not a doing past a certain point, you can't do being ?
  10. Yes that's something I pondered for quite some time too. What if the «watcher» is still the mind, just a really subtle and more peaceful part of it watching everything else. I don't think we can answer this question before an awakening, imo it's just arrogance to say otherwise.
  11. Nonono, this is not about abstaining from sex, it's just about abstaining from loosing semen = energy. You can ejaculate inside, it's not that difficult, just read and apply the exercices found in «The multi orgasmic man». Maybe I should redone the post by explaining the difference between traditional Nofap and NoNut (=semen retention). The difference is that in the rirst one you abstain from porn because it fucks up your psychee on different level, In NoNut you preserve semen to be more productive and feel more energetic, but you can still have sex if you learn how to do it this way. You guys would want that ?
  12. When you're lost in concept land, you don't know you're bullshitting yourself. You truly think you got it and do the work. ?
  13. Realize that right now you don't truly understand or know 99.99999% of the thing you think you know about your life/states/country/world/science/whatever ... It's all hearsay or projections of the mind. So good luck conceptualizing infinity with the mind ???
  14. Sure you can. No need though, life will throw enough challenges at you, Don't worry about that ???
