My perfect scenario would be if I was able to travel around to cheap countries with beautiful nature while freelance working on the internet. I would do spiritual work intensively while traveling. That's what I really want right now. Problem is I am in a career which does not have much options for freelancing.

@krazzer Rabbit farm is really good source to self sustain. They reproduce rapidly. @AlwaysBeNice I don't like to beg. I'd rather contribute to this world then ask money for nothing. The asharam seems an interesting idea but I think it will interfere with my freedom. I love freedom the most.

I was re watching Leo's video - "How To Be A Strategic Motherfucker - The 7 Pillars Of Strategic Thinking". He's making very practical and useful points as always. I was thinking who could be another good example of strategic motherfucker and it's definitely Petyr Baelish (Littlefinger) from Game of Thrones. This character has always got purely defined long-term strategic intent. He is very crafty in devising short-term tactics to achieve his long-term goals. He does lots of preparation and very carefully collects the Intel about his foes. I know his intentions are always evil and egoistic but he is very interesting character to study in that regard. He has also an outstanding ability to ignore his egoistic nature if it's needed for his long-term goal. He is unbelievably patient and is always concentrated to win the final war instead of winning the small battles. I want to listen to you guys. How do you strategize in your life. How do you set your strategic intent and what are the ways of achieving it.

That sounds really interesting to me. I like analytical and creative mix of it. I consider myself very creative but in a right environment and if I don't have to present it to huge auditory. I am good at writing creative ideas. I am also very good at analytical work. My employers were very pleased with my job as financial analyst. I also like the freelancing opportunities it could provide in the future. In my ideal world I would love to be a freelancer travelling around to a cheap countries with great nature while doing Enlightenment work in the process. When I am 40 I will settle somewhere and start up my online business. That's why I think digital marketing is also great skill to have for your own business. P.S. did you find your passion in the business career? What do you like the most?

I would do Enlightenment work without any salary but it won't keep me alive. Got to be realistic here. So I need a job or career to sustain myself in the meantime.

I am studying currently. I am doing Master's degree

The hardest part for me is to find a way to transition my finance career into freelancing. I am thinking about digital marketing but I have 0 experience in that.

I was contemplating about lucid dreaming and it's relation to Enlightenment work. We are dreaming and realizing that Truth is called Enlightenment. What does lucid dreaming mean? It means that the dreamer realises that he is asleep without waking up. Do you see a strong parallel here? Reality is an illusion - a dream of consciousness. If somebody mastered the art of lucid dreaming what would happen if he applied it to the "reality" could he become Enlightened? Is it possible? Does it make a lucid dreaming the most powerful technique for Enlightenment work? Feel free to contemplate on that...

You are not required to quit your job or career to become Enlightened. Sadhguru was a very successful businessman when he got Enlightened suddenly without even trying to chase it. As you see you don't choose anything... it just happens with your life!

Since he is not interested in seeking Truth he won't apply this tool in reality. I mean it may be a powerful tool in a "hands" of one who is seeking the Truth and waking up.

Noone knows his true intentions until he falls in love with Sansa and willingly shares them to her. The deceiving strategy which he chose for achieving his goals was incompatible with emotions. That was his biggest mistake and costed him his life. If he stayed cold and emotionless I wonder what would have happened. Leo does not mean to apply these principles to egoistic intentions but we just bring littlefinger as an example of extremely good strategist. If you watch full video - Leo also brings example of a very crafty villain from the TV episodes house of cards.

This question has striked me quite often: what if there is no Ultimate Truth and every perspective has it's own Truth. What if we all are not one but the opposite we are all ultimate numbers of Truth?

Whatever his end goal is he is pretty good at strategically achieving it. We could analyze his behaviors and learn from it. It coupd be useful to read other deceieving people. We can also learn from his patience and ability to swallow ego pride for the sake of ultimate goal. He is very very smart at what's he is doing. Wether you agree with him or not that is also part of relative distinctions.

@electroBeam what you truly are can not feel the pain or suffering. It is beyond that understanding of feelings. when you "die" physically your awareness moves to another limited perspective- ego. But this is what I believe.

But what is not true is still a relative statement. There is no more truth or false after Enlightenment if everything becomes one is not that so?

So do you think after Enlightenment my chase after some kind of "mystical" passion to fulfill my life end? Will I find happiness even in the most boring ordinary things from my current perspective?

@Brimstone I have the reverse problem. I am in the finance career right now but find it extremely boring and uninteresting. I wonder if after my ego death and possible Enlightenment finance career will appear less boring to me and more as a way to simply experience the analytical part of this reality. I want to get interested in this career because I've already invested so much money and time studying it and working in it. In ideal scenario I would love to turn it into my life passion. It is highly paid career and money is useful to explore this world and travel around. It seems like I am chasing after some kind of mystical life passion.. I tried programming as It seemed interesting initially but the same happened in the end. I got bored with it. It seems like I get bored with everything eventually.

@Shanmugam Can Enlightened person be a financial professional for example and work in a corporate environment? Will he be happy? Does Enlightenment contradict your achievements if you are in a corporate ladder? Can an Enlightened person still be a successful CFO?

I am concerned. I've always been interested in the Truth of who I am and what is this reality ever since my early childhood. Right now it seems like I am getting detached from every day social and conventional life. All my focus and attention is stuck on Enlightenment. I study abroad and because of that I'm not doing good in my studies. I am worried - what if I am so concentrated on Enlightenment because I see it as a way of escape? My life feels as a nightmare from which I wanna wake up. My social life right now Is non existent and I struggle to deal with stress. The field I'm studying right now does not really interest me. I don't see myself in that field anymore. It's very hard to study abroad and be lonely at the same time. I need an advice. Should I forget about Enlightenment for now and get back to "normal life"? It seems like the closer I get to Enlightenment worse I do socially and in my studies.

Right now I'm risking to fail my studies if my current state won't change. I thought it was clever idea to combine Enlightenment work witg studying abroad but these two don't align with each other as it turns out in my case.

I self inquire and meditate most of my free time. I go out more and more seldom. I am loosing touch with reality. At nights I wake up with the feeling of void and glimpses. When I walk in the supermarkets among the people it seems like I am blending with reality and can't find myself anymore. During studies I can't concentrate on anything because it feels like there is no me anymore who can concentrate. I am like this last two months already. It is very scary but at she same time this fear passes through me without affecting me deeply like It used to. I became totally numb except from seldom sadness from too much stress of my bad study progress.

What do you think about this one?

Watch this and say how closely it resembles your understanding of the Truth?

I suggest you to check my topic which I recently opened. It may be another option for you. Self sufficient lifestyle for enlghtenment
