    Actually no that's still being the ego.  Once you reach a certain state of consciousness certain things become meaningless.  

    There's no one-size-fits-all Enlightenment.  There's only your Enlightenment.  And there's my Enlightenment.  And there's his Enlightenment.  And there's her Enlightenment.  The Ego-HeartBodyMind neurotically wants to make my perspective the perspective.  It gives the Ego-HeartBodyMind a feeling like it knows and a feeling of security and stability in a reality full of change that might disturb its preferences.

    On the one hand, I think that you have to cope on your own and not depend on social contacts to be content and happy. When I look at the society, I only see lonely and dissatisfied people who sacrifice everything in order to gain affirmation in order to increase their own self-esteem. But that's just distraction and does not solve the basic problem. On the other hand, it would of course be nice if you could talk to like-minded people. Ultimately, I do not want to blame anyone, because everyone is right where they need to be in their development ...

    Interpersonal Development is like Calculus and Personal Development is like Algebra.  You need Algebra for Calculus, but Calculus is way more advanced than Algebra is.  Interpersonal Development work, like Calculus, is really sweet when you're ready for it, but it's a horror when you're not ready for it.  You will fail your ass off in Calculus brutally and with no mercy given if you haven't mastered Algebra.  That's what people are afraid of with relationships is failing their ass off, because we've all been there many times.  But when you're prepared for Calculus, you've met all the prerequisites for Calculus -- studying Calculus is amazing!  It's a new, exciting venture.

    @mandyjw if you were conscious that you were all of reality would that bring you value?

    This is how people get blocked and locked by the Mind on the Path.  The Mind can help you but it can also lock and block you into your own self-created prison, your own self-created set of limitations.  The Mind is a double-edged sword if you don't know how to put the Mind in its place.

    I don't have a social life. Never cared to have one. It does not interest me.

    You still have a lot of time in your life left to explore social life.  No need to rush.  I'm only just now getting into building up my social life and I'm 41 years old.  It's almost like you gotta be ready.  It's like a new chapter.  A new field to explore as an explorer.  You probably still have other more interesting fields to explore before you find that one particularly interesting.  Nothing interests me more than social life right now because I've basically done almost everything but social life as a chapter in my life so far.  Well, not really, but you see what I'm saying.  Social life has a lot of challenges, interesting system issues/problems, and amazing rewards.  Social life is actually quite fascinating when you look at it from the perspective of a creator, explorer, and scientist.  I get fascinated by the interpersonal system dynamics and mechanics I'm formulating and attempting to optimize.  There's a logic/logos to interpersonal systems just like other systems if you can find it.

    The ways you present is often aligned with solving your parents' most deficient blocks/limitations.  You fixed your parents' problems and your kids will fix you and your spouse's problems.  It's an interesting insight I had.  Of course each person comes with their own set of ideosycratic challenges as well like a dose of randomness added into each person/system.

    I cured alcoholism in myself by realizing in a very detailed way how it was blocking me from living my life in the way that want to be doing so.  I found that alcohol is not only bad for my health, I can tick off exactly (very specifically) how it's an obstacle to me going after my most sought-after objectives.  It's all about getting down to the nitty-gritty details of knowing yourself and knowing what you want.  Then you can notice blocks including alcoholism very easily.  You will not continue to knowingly do something that is blocking you from attaining your most sought-after objectives when you see exactly how it's blocking you.  That's a deal-breaker for the alcohol.  That's where you want to get to to sustainably quit alcohol or any other distraction for that matter.

    Lol. I remember the days when you have replied with a big essay. Yeh keep it simple. Don't get riled up. I like it dude.

    I've grown!  I grew myself, see.  Very systematically.  You can design your own life and be enlightened simultaneously.  There's no contradiction there besides what the Mind erroneously throws up like it's a feature of reality rather than just a thought about Being.

    @Joseph MaynorMore assumptions.

    Move on please, not wasting my time here anymore. All you've been doing is making up stories in this conversation. That's an attack you do towards yourself because you're not learning anything new you're just in defense mode.

    When you're pursuing your own life, you don't have time to worry about what other people are doing.

    Video on point to watch:

    @Joseph Maynor you’re full of shit, you’re making it into something it’s not. I asked you questions, you decided not to respond to those questions.

    This has nothing to do with tolerance or a “perspective I’m trying to enforce”. 

    My perspective is simply one that I’m stating, not one I’m trying to enforce. If I do not inform you of my perspective, which is what you do, you will not have accurate information to build from.

    Theres literally no need for me to tolerate someone who won’t respond to questions in a genuine way. It’s a total unproductive use of time. Feel free to do what you want to do though I don’t care, I’m just making it clear what my boundaries for interaction are.

    I’m not going to waste my time with someone that keeps on making needless assumptions about the interaction and forming erroneous conclusions.

    The subject of this interaction has been simple, an enquiry from me and a lack of tolerance of that enquiry from you given all the walls, scapegoating and reversing of focus from you. And that doesn’t all bother me I was just calling you out on what I perceive to be bullshit as you’ve literally got nothing to stand on to ground you in your position other than assumptions.

    That’s as simple as it gets. Move on please you’re just wasting my time.

    Tolerance this and diversity that, you’re full of shit, it has nothing to do with that.

     

    When you're pursuing your own life you're not really concerned with what other people are doing.

    I would refer to that as a cop-out.

    See, your intention is to make your perspective the perspective.  You still need reinforcement that you're right.  You can't tolerate tangential ways of being to your own yet.  Ask yourself this -- what is that which needs to be right?  Is a chipmunk running around thinking every other perspective needs to be like his?  And yes, chipmunks have individual perspectives and personalities too.  What is that which needs to have everything be like me?  I think one of the great places to arrive on the path is appreciation of and toleration for the diversity of enlightened being.

    Could you elaborate on what you mean by that? The only conclusion I can make at present is that you equate advanced personality development work as conditioning oneself. If this is true, where did you get this idea and why do you believe this to be the case? Where would you put being true to being (I'd phrase it more as this than authenticity given authenticity can be a loaded term to some)? (to personality development work in general not just advanced)

    And that's an interesting way of putting it, what do you mean by the term personality?

    What is the difference between advanced and beginner here?

    How is conditioning related to personality?

    You're at a different part of the Path than I am.  We're Mars and Venus to each other.  I'm not saying I'm superior to you or you me.  We prefer different lenses to look at Being through right now in our respective journeys, that's all.  Celebrate diversity!

    I have no idea what you mean by that actually, could you please elaborate? Thanks.

    I accept the fact that no two people are at the same place in their Path.  You might be speaking Chinese and I might be speaking English.  You might live in China and I might live in Australia.  You might be at Stage X of life and I might be at Stage Y of life.  Maybe you're a woman and I'm a man.  Maybe your personality type is the opposite of mine.  Maybe your most sought-after objectives in life differ from mine.  Maybe your grab-bag of useful theory differs from my grab-bag of useful theory.  Maybe your life trajectory is tangential to my life trajectory.

    @Joseph Maynor I don't think its possible  for me to model it, i was actually surprised how well leo modelled it in his video. I wouldn't be able to give an explanation like that. The reason is because he's a teacher and has modelled all his insights. Mines are now where near communicable. I can't even tell people in various metaphors about truth. I really struggle with that so i just ditched it. 

    But if you hit Yellow you should know how to model.

    Bravo @Leo Gura you finally get that Consciousness is illusion making machine for Source/Singularity /You. 

     

     

    That's a limiting-belief.  Good for the Mind, not so good for God.  Anything you are "getting" is not God.  The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao.

    You are lost in the labyrinth of your own consciousness and your only escape is death.

    I don't mean to chime in here again, and I hope I'm not coming off as rude -- but failing to put the Mind in its place that causes the maze.  You don't need to die.  You need to realize the difference between the map (Mind) and the territory (Being).  What needs to die is you white-knuckle clinging to the Mind's talk as if that talk is the Truth.
