  1. Sounds to me like you could use some basic life coaching advice. You might make a written list of 10 immediate and tangible goals to accomplish right now that are focused on finances, health, and relationships only. If you feel comfortable posting that here or part of it we can give you feedback. Avoid any woo-woo and keep the list very practical. Relationships could include meeting anyone, and who you spend your time socializing with.
  2. This resonates with me. I stopped teaching and only share now because I get this.
  3. I only post this for context. But it is fascinating as to who the most selling music arts are. There's a couple of surprises on here for me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_music_artists
  4. When I did my philosophy program in college it was like 50% men and 50% women. Women can like philosophy!
  5. We can go in the direction of There is no ... and There is ... with equal measure. But both of these come to a certain saying of no.
  6. I feel like every Creator in a certain artform has good stuff. There's some doozies in there too, of course!
  7. I wouldn't say that, necessarily, but if I met you in person my intuition would be stronger (in the sense of accuracy). Intuition runs on what information we have access to.
  8. I have a respect for feeling. It's a complex subject though. Intuition may be a form of feeling. But yeah! It's a kind of seeing.
  9. Those videos are so good! The interaction is amazing! It think they are good for understanding what is going on with neo-advaita.
  10. Watch those two videos and look at how he relishes saying no like a stubborn kid almost. It's weird once you see it.
  11. Neo-advaitans seem to be obsessed with saying no. They love that.
  12. This is a very good description of Love IMO. Realizing everyone has a different/differing Truth on some level. I know this is paradoxical -- if one is looking at things from a Truth perspective alone.
  13. I agree. In the context of health, overthinking is often the opposite of what needs to be done. It's diet, exercise, and getting off addictions. That's all action-taking and habit re-formation.
  14. My take from reading Ramana Maharshi (mostly written not by him notably) is his primary teaching is snuffing out the I-Thought. I seriously doubt he is a solipsist. He would not attach to the mind in this way, I don't think.
  15. This is the ultimate neo-advaita video IMO. Hilarious.
