I am still a newbie at business, but one thing I have learned through my years of teenage entrepreneurialism is to delegate everything that is not a vital part of your business, for ex. hiring a proper accountant if you don't work in finance or buying a website if you are not a designer. Maybe you have some work that can be contracted to someone else yet you unconsciously insist on doing it yourself. By the way, what is your life purpose, if you don't mind sharing?

There's something off in listening to any material when tripping. Doesn't matter if it's Leo or someone else.

I do have headaches, too. At the moment I have cut the exercise from my plan. I am going to practice without it for a month and then reintroduce. Hopefully it will help.

You could use more going out and meeting with people. Just force yourself to it. What you describe sounds like a typical thing that happens to people who lead hermit lifestyle.

If you want to sell crap that's up to you. There are many dropshipping businesses that actually help people. I love my books seller, who can source me any rare spirituality book I want. I also love another ecommerce store that sells healthy products. I would have to travel to city and spend more time and money than by using this shop. And if you really believe in what you sell, ebikes for example, what is a problem with sourcing parts from Aliexpress and selling them through your store? There is no better producer of hardware than China. I could throw niches like that on and on. I find the idea that dropshipping equals selling cheap junk sourced from China very narrow-minded.

@Arhattobe How does that damage look like, i.e. what effects is it supposed to have on a practicioner?

If you want to live from investments, the you will need to have a hefty sum of money beforehand. Otherwise it's a gamble. Better invest whatever you have into creating your own business.

It allows me to survive and work on an escape plan from mediocrity.

I have installed an app called Roubit that notifies me everyday to check the values list. I have also added an event in my Google Calendar to check if I still feel the same about those values in a few months.

Cool

Any advice on dealing with side-effects of practice persisting in daily life, like tingles or pins and needles? I have done bloodwork and it's ok, so I guess it has to be caused by Kriya + stress.

https://www.ubiquityuniversity.org/ Here are some Yellow level MOOCs. MOOC stands for massive open online course. You can do them online and still get a college credit if you pay.

Has someone here tried doing a Kriya Yoga retreat? What was your schedule?

Buy some kind of equipment. Learn to use it. Sell your services. Examples: law mowing, carpet cleaning, drone video shooting, etc. Advertise on craigslist or whatever is popular in your area. Get creative when it comes finding clients. Be RELIABLE, most people doing that kind of bussiness are very unprofessional. If you want to work on a computer, then Web Design, Internet Marketing or Front-end Development are all easy to enter fields.

And? Start some serious practice, it can be self-inquiry, yoga, whatever rings your bell.

@Roman Edouard Humble and educate yourself. Let me also shock you that in current scientific understanding it's way more probable that the universe is actually flat, not a sphere. Maybe read some scientific books if that is your thing. Start with the popular ones and then go for the more advanced ones. By the way, I highly doubt the quality and seriousness of your 2 year practice. Switch to some more powerful tools like Kriya Yoga or psychedelics. Dropping spiritual practice after doing it for such a long time is unskillful.

That's where mindfulness comes in handy. You notice your defensive reaction and it not only disipates the unpleasant feeling, but also heals the wound which this impulse has been meant to protect.

In my experience it's super easy to get a job. What country are you living in and what jobs are you appling for? My bet would be that you are not trying hard enough to get one. In some cities you have to send hundreds of applications to get any reply.

Relaxing music is a bad trip kiler. If I feel it's getting too hairy I would play a "cute songs to help you deal with anxiety" playlist or something like that and tranquilize myself. 100 mcg is a super safe dosage for 1P-LSD. It's a bit milder than normal LSD. Take care of the usual things, like having a cosy blanket, something to drink, etc., and dive into the experience.

@lmfao All right, I am sorry, if it seems that way. Just don't paint an image of yourself knowing more than you really know. What I am trying to say is that we all should put more effort into spiritual practice, instead of spinning wheels on an Internet forum.

@lmfao Why are you trying to school me? Reach a deep non-dual state yourself first.

@lmfao I have zero idea what you are getting at. You can frame it however you want, as many consecutive moments or as a one continous moment, that's your distinction. However no distinction can change it's nature, that is the present experience changes. It doesn't stay the same even for a brief moment. You are not some seashell animal that can't notice it.

The Natural by RSD Max was as cool as course about pickup can get.

@lmfao You are running in circles. Look at your present moment, it changes constantly, sometimes radically. What makes you believe that it cannot morph into another person's experience? In fact, it could do it 1 000 000 times every second and you wouldn't know it, becuase every time you would be back to "yourself" that doesn't know about that. And if it can do that, why not go a step further and assume that it radically changes infinitely many times in infintely short amount of time, resulting in being everything at the same time. You won't get a proof for anything by hitting a keyboard, but by doing the practices. And no-one can do them for you, but you.

@SriBhagwanYogi Go to Amazon.com, type in "Kriya Yoga" and choose a book you like.
