egoless

Exactly I want to work in it myself. But I want to own my farm myself as well. I don't want to have mass production. Maybe at max 2 acres of farm. But lack of knowledge is the major entry barrier for me. Even for very experienced farmers it is a very risky business.

@ajasatya Yes but I see farming as my life purpose not as a laborer working for someone else. I want to establish my own farm and produce my own organic products so that people who are buying my product receive quality and healthy organic food. I am also interested in a business, creative side of it. How to export it, how to target markets, strategically which crops or livestock to interchange. P.S. I am watching videos and this is amazing but I doubt this technique will work in my country. Bananas and some of these tropical trees don't grow here. Different climate.

@jjer94 The good thing is in my country agriculture ground is very cheap and it is actually very good soil. But after listening to so many people saying farming is not really a profitable business I am thinking more about mushroom farm.

@jjer94 what kind of farm did you have what were you growing?

yeah maybe not to do lots of money but at least decent money to live without any struggle and so you provide your family? What about mushroom farm I've heard it is actually the most profitable

@jjer94 Thank you very much for that realistic assessment of pros and cons. I love solitude very much and as you mentioned listening to podcasts and audibooks during my work is like the heaven for me. Repetitious is ok for me if I feel passionate about the stuff I am doing so I hope this part will be ok for me as well. One thing that worries me right now the most is the fact that many people say that farming is way too risky and unpredictable business. They say that it is very hard to make it profitable in long term. Many farmers report online that they struggle to even make ends meet. Also I want to ask you which crops do you recommend me to study and what kind of life stock. I was thinking about rabbit farm. Also I don't life in USA so I doubt these websites could help me out. @ajasatya Does this website have English version? Which crops do you recommend me to study? Which one is more profitable crops, livestock, mushrooms or maybe even bees or fish?

This question does not leave me alone at nights... what happens after our physical death? Do we reincarnate as another body/ego or we wake up from this illusionary dream forever? This is question of the highest significance and I am sure some gurus may have some kind of perspective on that. If we reincarnate constantly no matter what while forgetting the past life experience then this significantly lowers Enlightenment value...

There is no way. Enlightenment is what you are so, if you share - sharing just happens - you share with yourself contemplate that I don't mean that sharing is bad but it should come after you reached some substantial levels of understanding at least if not the full Enlightenment. Otherwise you may easily spread just another belief you have...

@ArasH Jim is one of the most talented and interesting guys in the Hollywood scene. He is close to Eckhart Tolle and has been into Enlightenment community for a while. I think he definitely had some very powerful glimpses and insights, but... I doubt he is fully Enlightened. He is constantly trying to reach other people with Enlightenment topic but nobody really understands him. The unaware people mistakenly think that he is depressed or crazy. He is actually very close to the Truth. But imho he needs to become fully Enlightened, before he expresses the Truth to such a wide audience so openly. Imho It is very dangerous for non - Enlightened person to shout out so loudly - risk to loose the correct track. That is why I always avoid to speak about this path with unconscious people.

@pluto This is amazing. How all these videos spread on the youtube. I think it is because more and more people are waking up!!!

My story short. I am BBA (Business Administration) graduate (major finance) with working experience in Finance field. When I was working as financial analyst I was good at my job but did not really enjoyed it. I discovered that routine job is not suited for me and I hate corporate, bureaucratic working environment. Now I am doing Mba degree but still not sure if business field is suited for me. I've made too much time and money investment in my current career so it feels like I am stuck in it. I am huge introvert and prefer analytical, strategical and creative careers which does not require much social interactions. I am generalist type of person and like exploring new stuff. I hate linear jobs. Please suggest me careers where I could try myself and hopefully thrive. I am not kind of person who will be happy just working for a living. I need a job which will be a passion for me.

As I said it is not only ok but it is actually very beneficial. When you are ready to do without you will know that.

@Power The best way to understand it is to stay fully aware on the present moment. Just surrender to the Now. But don't order that to do to your mind just become aware that is already the case. The video you have linked is one of the most powerful Leo's videos imho. It helped me a lot to learn how to enjoy my meditation process and I've reached some very powerful glimpses through it. Just use it every day and when the right time comes you will know that you are ready to do the surrendering without any guidance.

As a current student I don't have much possibility to go on meditation retreats, however I live alone in a student house and have an option to meditate for whole week when I have a break. Can meditation retreat done at home without moving somewhere and will it have the same effect? - If no what's the difference. Suppose if I prepare food so it lasts me for 1 week without going out for groceries and then basically just doing solo meditation without living my room. I also think if it is a good idea to shroom trip during this solo room retreat maybe one or twice in the duration of the week.

But still, I think it's easier said than done mate. It may be doable but it also involves luck in a great extent. For example when you refuse everything and travel light you are more likely to become victim of trafficking or fraud by your employers because some of them just won't care about you. You will be another supertramp for them. Police will most likely won't bother to help you either in that case. Also it is very easy to travel in the US because you don't have language barrier and you don't need visa to move to different states. but for people from other countries it is more complicated. Let's speak about practical matters. Tell me your experience how you handled those?

@ajasatya yes but moving around the world and meeting new people requires money and visa for stay. How you actually make it in practice that's where we all struggle

I am very much interested. What made you understand that yo are ignorant and what pushed you to the limits to finally change everything. I am stuck on point 2. I am also in the rock bottom of the hell right now. I am so lost and confused.

@ajasatya Maybe the most notable parts of it? @elias read the last part of my post carefully.

I would greatly appreciate your story here or pm. Yes maybe in your case it just happened but that is not the case for all people.

Yes yes and yes again. I know that. But, still faith is the motivation. I don't understand why people disregard faith as Enlightenment is a leap of faith is not it so? If you did not believe initially that there could be some Ultimate Truth would you shave your hair and become a monk? Faith was your initial inertia to do all this spiritual work.

You speak like you believe that ultimately time exists. Do you? Nah.. I know you well you must have meant something different. explain

@Lauritz That's another example how you interpreted my intentions through your lenses. What you are referring to is called the confirmation bias and I am well aware of it to not become its victim. I am not searching for believes or confirmations I just want to hear other people' understanding of this. This will be helpful for my further contemplation because I am open to every possibility. When you contemplate you may miss something and sharing between other people may identify these pitfalls. @Shiva I understand your point. OK let's see. 1) whatever we call it it's a change of forms. Through direct experience you can see other people dying and they are never the same right? So that's not assumption your directly experience it but what is it in reality nobody knows that's right. 2) I don't know that neither do I assume. I am just looking for all the possibilities. However, notice that when you are trying so desperately to do your Enlightenment work you also assume that it may be the ultimate Truth right? It is also a leap of belief. Unless you would not be so dedicated towards it. You are expecting the change at least at the beginning. 3) that is interesting. If reality cease to exist after physical death of my ego that means that other egos do not exist. Which ultimately shakes the absolute infinity idea. 4) I am self inquiring daily. I am sure you do too. 5) what if we call this entity ego?

The price is living your normal life as you would do. The more important question in my opinion is what exactly is the price to get Enlightened? - don't you think so.

@Lauritz I think it is a wasted energy to tell somebody to change. That's what you are doing. Everyone is perceiving this reality through his lenses and what may be True way for you may not be for the other. If I was not so curious and did not question so much I wouldn't even be on this forum today. This is my personality and one thing I am lucky for is that I am so curious about everything. Contemplation and questioning stuff never hurt nobody @AleksM This is very close representation of my current understanding. I also see lots of similarities in Christianity - the holy trinity. For me Jesus is the greatest teacher and true example. What if people in that time did not understand his true teachings and another religion was created? I want to study Christ's life because I truly think that many answers may be hidden there. I think - he was as Enlightened as it gets. @Shiva Ok I offer you to do this together. What did you found out maybe you can share with me?

@Leo Gura you are working so hard to get Enlightenment. You are one of the most hard working persons I've ever seen in my life yet it does not come to you fully. On the other hand it happened to Eckhart Tolle without even trying. I guess same could be said about sadhguru. As far as I know they did not do as much self inquiry, contemplation, meditation and observation as you do to get there. So maybe, after all, Enlightenment is the pure luck. What if you running with the iron rod on the high mountain to get struck by "lightning" does not change much? If there is no free will in the grand scale of things - maybe happening just happens and surrendering to reality is the only option to get Enlightened?!
