Still 6 hours left after work, not an excuse.

God damn, does your "enter" button is broken or what ?

Enlightenment is very practical because it removes all your suffering, and you can supress almost every suffering even before enlightenment (almost, because you will still fear to get killed/physically injured). Not only that, but if you supress your suffering, then you'll stop making people and animals around you suffer too, which ultimately leads to make them happier in the long run. The only way to make it a distraction, is if you stop doing what you know you should do in your life to grow as an individual, both emotionally and in your life purpose (which is called spiritual bypassing). Otherwise there is no contradiction with living a "normal" life, except you will slowly but surely cut out all the crap that aren't genuine to you (food/hobbies/friendship etc ...). Whatever you do isn't anti-spiritual, nothing is by definition, it's just that the ways you can approach things in life make you suffer or not, that's all.

Invite her to your house, lock the door, tell her atrocious things you know she has buried inside (or things that will make her mad). Then tell her to feel the emotions fully. You don't let her go out untill she says something like "oh, there is space around my pain".

Typical PUA be like:

When you see a thread with a star, but you forgot what you said in it

Isn't it also the type of country where you never know if a woman is a woman until you touch "her" genitals ? RIGHT, "NATASHA" ?! @Shiva The dream is real !

Considering what my ego thinks it will do in some years, I might die at 35. Only 7 years to go ...

Can't you just tell me, it would be way easier this way, thanks ! Oh, and I want the extra concepts menu, not the basic ones. You know, the ones with extra impressive non-dual words and metaphors !

Doesn't change the fact that many people said their priorities shifted. Right now I would say I will continue to go to college studying psychology, but I could stop all that and become a fisher in colombia. This can happen anyways, it's not like there is any guarantee whatsoever, you never know what you're gonna do or not.

How could I know that, I wouldn't be there anymore lul

I don't understand the question (no joke).

BTW, you're thinking all this because of what your sister said. What if the one who doesn't want you around wasn't your mom but your sister ?

If you're making fun of me, that's ok I know I can be stupid/arrogant sometimes but I don't care so ... If you're serious, I'm like no way near this, in fact, a lot of other dudes and dudettes in here are way more conscious and developed than I am, I just talk a lot

Make a post, and try to explain it.

Learn tantra !

Except 99% of people think they are aware of being present now, yet they aren't.

There are people who medidate for decades and are still fucked up. There are people who meditate for a few weeks and become blissful. It all depend if you meditate to become something (aka seeking), or if you meditate to (truly) let go (aka being). Meditation is really easy, it's just being totally present whatever happens (outward or inward), it's not a "doing", it's just being what you are without any sense of identity/personality. I would start with 20 minutes every day, then increasing the time by 10% every month.

If it is an insight, you don't need to think about it, even less ask opinions about it. @molosku If you can find this stateless state, infinitely open and quiet, and if you can come back to it at will. Then you'll awaken.

If you can quit entirely porn and still masturbate, it's already a pretty big win. You want to cut out masturbation entirely though, it's just an addiction, it gives you nothing, in fact it takes you so much in the long run. Right now I'm so full of energy, it's unbelievable, I walk like a princess, full of grace !

Exactly. Take action right off the bat whenever you deeply know you should do something. There is no need to think about anything for more than a few seconds, that's a trap of your mind to get into infinite mental masturbation.

What's your current status ?
