@PsiloPutty Yeah. Eventually the meditative state becomes the state and you can ‘see’ what’s coming and about to happen next.

@moon777light Played Minecraft through to the end?

Free will and ego suggest two beings. Going a little overboard with the not living life to the fullest, imo.

@Tearos If you’re going to start a happiness revolution, you’re either going to spend your life working up in politics & focusing on changing regulations in industries like food, etc, or you’re going to have to reach a large amount of people individually and actually be able to convince them to wake up and make changes. Tall order, but anything is possible. Leo is one hell of an example. One thought, make a website or FB that lists companies who meet certain sustainable, ethical, financial distribution equality and health oriented criteria, and develop a marketing plan that gets people to stick with companies on that list. It would force change for companies who are not. The universe showed you that you can do this using your creativity with the news and your strawberry sales. 1. Business, marketing, nutrition & psychology. 2. Make a YouTube channel to make money while traveling. You don’t have the knowledge and experience of someone like Leo, but the biggest market for YouTube is your age bracket, so make your channel highly relatable to your age / generation. What ‘they’re’ dealing with, and useful information on how to succeed and get specific things done. *Don’t make that distinction between business OR creativity. Be creative about business. 3. Yes you should start a business. If it coincides with your YouTube channel, and you can get broad media coverage, you’ll be rockin. 4. Think about money differently. That matters deeply. You’re going to need a shirt on of money to get any of this done, in the big picture of your vision you expressed. Hold only positive, allowing thoughts about money. Keep your mind wide open to seeking investors, using crowd funding, etc. There is a certain reality to money getting things done, be in love with that and you’ll reach more people. Money is good. Money is good. Money is good. You can be a millionaire minimalist. Be radically open minded. The first step to starting a business is having a ton of fun learning about how people started businesses. Read books, search YouTube. Nonprofit org’s are run on money, from someone who to some degree dictates the choices, because they supply the money. Careful with the nonprofit route. PD in standard schooling is long overdue. 5. Do you have any other suggestion of what I could/should decide to do that adapts to my paradigm and values after I finish my last year of high school? Or do you have any suggestion of a different paradigm that I need to establish instead? You’re very young. Why would you think things should adapt to your paradigms and values? Blow out your paradigms, don’t try to accommodate them. Cultivate your values, contemplate how to involve others with shared values in a mutually beneficial way. The paradigm game is won by transcending all paradigms. The inner game, the thought game, a mind for allowing, not a mind with resistant thoughts, is the most critical element to your plans. It likely does not seem so at your age, but it will eventually. The more you can grasp this now, the farther you’ll get. Notice even simple thinking and verbal phrasing - and choose to always think and say what you want, never state what you don’t want. This will unlock the world. I’m talking right down to saying I like bananas vs saying I don’t like apples. Love is the most powerful force. Don’t be a fool, us it. Good luck. You seem like a very ambitious dude. I hope you accomplish everything you can dream.

@Shakazulu yeah, pretty much.

@Shakazulu of what? (It was admittedly a koan-ish comment)

@tsuki (sshhhh...it’s a trap)

@Charlotte I’m around 2 years in. Do what you’re doing, brush twice a day, don’t eat after brushing before bed. Floss too. You be like ?

I would loosely estimate that for the average person, 99% of awakening, is food. The hardest part, is admitting your’re asleep. Fuck bread, fuck sugar, fuck preservatives - choose your life instead. Make how you feel first. Make how something tastes a distant second. “You’ll” never regret it, because freedom. Just put yourself aside for a few days.

@Gabriel Pinto Personal development - work for yourself, be self employed. A “job” or employer could be a great fit, perfect PD coach for you, then she could quit the next day, and some idiot replaces them, because the stock quote is leading the company. Think about this- You WILL do, what you WILL do. There is no other way. It’s only yours to pick. PICK.

You have yet to do a single thing on the path. To even lift a finger, to read the first wise word, to simply give up food preference, to manage the needs of the body, to sit and silently surrender. None of this has even occurred to you, actually starting will never happen for you. You have not digested a single word of any book you’ve ever read, and don’t bother reading them again as you, no matter what you do in your life, will never even obtain the capacity to understand the first word, of the first page, of the first book. There is no such thing as spirituality, nor enlightenment. The world is literal hell, and there is no escaping, ever. It’s a loop of hell. “God” is the Devil’s cruel cruel sick joke. A joke you will always fall short of comprehending. There is not a thing you can do to better this situation, literally nothing. It will only progressively get worse until you can no longer withstand the mental torture, and you are simply reborn, and will do it all again, with every nuance of pain reincorporated into deepening the nuances of your torture and anguish. Hope is a falsity.

@Charlotte you too! ❤️

@Sri Ramana Maharshi There is endless love for you here.

Unconditional love is as elusive as the I.

@jillmars7 Reads like an advertisement for meditation. You can escape all that conditioning, and it’s pure joy. The joy is already there, now. It’s covered with layers of shit.

Imagine your life without the ego.

Free will is silly. It’s like telling yourself a joke and wondering if you’ll laugh at the punchline.

@Vintus It’s unimaginable. There’s what you see with your eyes, which you can think about, and you can be aware of that thinking, you can even just be being which is awareness without thought, but you can’t soberly imagine a psychedelic trip. Start small, if you do shrooms, make tea and start with .5g (dried shroom) or maybe 1g. The psychedelic isn’t the focal part though, the integration is. It’s not about the trip, it’s about reality and your life. Psychedelics will show you more about your life than you can imagine right now. That’s how ‘big’. IMO, a foundation of honesty, healthy diet, meditation, and exercise should be in place for a month or two before trying a psychedelic. I’m an over preparer though, but I never had a ‘bad trip’ either.

By observing their emotion.

@JohnDoe Imagine a million ants just carrying on, doing ant stuff, and there is a colorless cloud encompassing all of them. Each ant thinks it’s an ant because it can’t perceive the cloud. In actuality, the cloud is real, and it’s imagining all the ants. The cloud just has a kick ass imagination. Like, top notch. It imagines ants which imagine ant stuff, like clouds.

@starsofclay The point is the emotion. Falsities feel like shit but we are at a loss even knowing why we feel like shit. Truth in experience / perspective feels amazing. Everything makes sense.

What’s revealed in enlightenment, is that the entire thing, the whole production, the big show, all that is, is you. There was never any truth to the mystics, or books, or literally anything. It’s you. You are the only truth. This is the ‘cosmic joke’. There’s no cosmos, or Jesus, or Buddha, or “we” or “us” or “him” it’s all you. There are many clues, pertinent ones that comes to mind are the “evidentiary” findings for those like Jesus and Siddartha. That they lived could not be proven, nor disproven. Another clue that comes to mind is how physicists are mindful to use the term “observable” before the word universe. A dream has no end, because it is a dream. There’s no edge because it’s not ‘real’, in terms of what is implied by the word ‘physical’. There is no physical and nonphysical. Just God, you. “Physical” is appearance. Is this not what is meant with the word enlightenment? The quotes of the masters and books of the ancients are great, but enlightenment reveals you wrote them. Just for fun, read the Bible, especially the judgement day content, in the light that you wrote it, so that in the dream, you could read what you wrote to yourself, to enlighten you. ****If this offends you in any way, as religion convo’s sometimes can seem offensive, please know I have no intention to be offensive. Just talking to myself. *****My grandma’s 88 and Catholic, so I know what I’m talking about.lol

What a great thread man. Couple questions for anyone if you’re interested in commenting.... In terms of taking responsibility, what would you say to an adult who was molested as a child? Also Faceless, you mentioned non-violence is an action of violence, what do you mean by that? Thanks!

@Elisabeth Awesome news! I’m sure it will help. ❤️ I hear you on disidentifying from the role. That’s really great. Gives us more ‘space’.
