how much higher can you get than bliss/ecstacy/peace? Just 'extreme' forms of this, which many advanced spiritual practitioners experience. Do share

This is good advice. Being intentional about everything we do is so important.

I find a lot of peace abiding in the Self (self inquiry). It brings me relaxation and clarity I believe it can help me with contemplation, comprehension and working towards my life purpose/discovering what drives me. I would appreciate your input on this. Thanks!

Which cities?

@Butters I'm glad I could be of assistance, and thanks for sending all these videos—they all feel aligned. You're doing great. My journey resonates deeply with yours. Thanks for the inspiration. I appreciate and understand your queries into the mind. It sounds like you're following your highest excitement, moment to moment, which is a powerful path. Balancing making money with serving your passions, like performing comedy, I think is fine and aligns with a holistic approach to life, in the moment. I'm also considering web design. Dan Koe's videos resonate with me, especially his emphasis on writing as a top skill. I've always wanted to dive into it but I'm contemplating how to quickly monetize it in a perceivingly competitive field. I plan on watching the "$15,000 website clients a month" video, thanks for posting it. You also sparked my interest in an Etsy store. Since reading The 4-Hour Workweek in 2008, I've wanted to start a successful dropshipping business. Recently, I've also considered coaching, but I haven't felt a strong enough pull to start yet. Like you, I don't feel fully qualified yet. As I mentioned, we're on similar paths, with a lot of 'wriggling'. Bashar's formula of following your excitement resonates with me. From a broader perspective, all this 'wriggling' aligns with the natural flow of life and our evolving paths.

In the video I posted below Tate argues that failing to achieve wealth within this timeframe might render it impossible, likening our society to one of kings and peasants. He prompts to move to places like the Middle East (Dubai, Mumbai, Saudia Arabia) or Tokyo for better opportunities. What are your thoughts on this perspective? PS: Tate mentioned Saudi Arabia, Mumbai and Tokyo, and I added other places. Where do you think the best places are? Do you believe Western society will persevere? Inflation poses significant challenges. Do you think there's a president that can truly assist us? Who knows, perhaps success is still possible. I'm optimistic. https://youtu.be/PI2ENghQ83k?si=hXYyZm-vhn5g2exw

You're doing great. Thanks for sharing. Btw i can relate a lot^^ Setting energetic and personal boundaries when in public is super important.

Apparently there's still aspects of him that he wants to explore.

I've had great success with semen retention practice in the past. Now it seems to be awakening my 'kundalini' centers to much, becomes overwhelming. Even with sexual transmutation practices. So I'm still trying to make it work! Thanks for sharing about this.

I'm doing it, and open to the abundance, in all forms. But it's a great reminder.

One thing is visiting the east for a Westener and another thing is a westerner living in the east. Especially one of the most xenophobic countries in the world, Japan.

I have to agree that I don't think he's a good role model.

To be fair the media is most probably working for the matrix 😉 "The truth is, if you have a decent job and are not reckless with your money, you will probably be fine." 👍

I hear you and I love it but being a peasant in the black forest, must have been different than being a peasant in different parts of the world. At least what's depicted in documentaries and pictures, being a pesant didn't seem so pleasant. As of more recently, like the 50's and 60's, the black forest attracted a lot of the hippy community, just to share. .

Thanks for sharing!! Something about orange that still really resonates with me! These 'get rich quick' thingys ;P I started a very micro niche business years ago, I must admit, trying to use fear tactics to advertise. I think I was more excited about building the business than actually running it. Because once it was up and 'running', I didn't pay much attention to it anymore. Do you have any courses, YouTube channels, or resources to recommend? I've also tried affiliate marketing among other things but nothing that has given me enough motivation to continue with.

"No president will make you rich." Exactly. This became apparently obvious to me when I heard Tate say it. But I suppose an amazing president could 'get us out of this mess'? Like what RFK JR. could be. Thanks for the reminder about big cities. There is some excitement about being in big cities, but may not be the best for aligning with a rest and digest nervous system. I meet someone recently from Montana and they shared with me that they loved it. Great community, so I guess they are not in the middle of nowhere. Would you move to the middle of nowhere if you're still calling in a girlfriend or partner? I'm not saying I am but I am open to the flow. I sometimes meet absolutely amazing people that open my heart and I'm like, woah, ok, i might be open to the idea of being in a relationship with you.

Are you saying Ramana Maharshi is over looking? When Ramana refers to the I Am he is referring to the screen. The screen is the I Am. I understand that ego and the I am are all one, God. But don't you think it's important to differentiate between the two and identify as the screen, as the I AM?

Good reminder.

I've also heard amazing things about the places you mentioned and Taos. I meet someone in my travels who was going to Brazil for a couple of weeks and ended up staying nearly a year. He really loved it. Mostly stayed in small towns. Said it was like India, so big, so many different cultures and ways in each part.

For sure I hear you about most of California. I was in San Diego not to long ago and it was a vibe. Place is a total portal. I was staying in ocean beach. Going to the drum circles most Wednesdays, DJ's on the beach having ecstatic dances. I was like woah, I found my place. That lasted a few months but felt called to leave after a while. Sounds like we're a lot on the same path. That oneness as ram dass would say. Wait, is that me? Yeah I spent a lot of time in Mazunte and Lake Atitlan. I'm super grateful for my time there, so much growth. Mexico was special, while I didn't enjoy it entirely I started having profound realizations, being by the ocean. Non-dual awakenings. I agree most of the expat community is green but imo (observation) lower stages of green. To share and shine some light, as I'm doing all this shadow work, i reflect a lot of the community doesn't see me and seems to outright reject me, a sort of shallowness. Where in Austin ime it was higher green and even yellow. People saw me and accepted me. But not as much growth on the human side. As I shared all these reflections and triggers has led to tremendous growth. At the sametime, the more growth I'm doing the more I am becoming accepting of others, realizing we're all on our own path, and meeting more and more people that are aligned. Even people that are doing there own shadow work and seeing they have so much beauty in them as well:) Btw, please let me know how Boulder goes for you!

After experiencing nondual awakenings, I'm not feeling as called to things as I used to. Everything is just one, and feels the same, literally everything. I'm not sure what I'd do, not much comes to me at the moment, I'd have to feel into that a bit more and integrate these new experiences. 💟

Are you not there right now? I'm also wondering the same. What the 'vibe' is like? Not what the news is showing. I also know it's a matter of perspective. I've asked people from Colorado, Boulder for example, and they say they are loving it. I was in Austin, and I absolutely loved it. *not sure why it's copying this older post^, fyi.

"Im looking forward to get back to the states". I'm missing the green cities in the US.

I've lived in Latin America, Mexico and Guatemala, for over 1.5 years. While i can say this started a profound shadow work journey for me (all the blue and red spiral dynamics reflections), thus leading to all this massive growth, which I'm so grateful for, I'm looking forward to and aligning with get back to the states. I was living in a green city. I was part of a high conscious, heart centered community. While I'm grateful, and keep meting more and more aligned people, I haven't found my tribe yet. It hurts to be in these places. Also I've been living in these small and powerful spiritual towns. You can definitely find safe places. I'm missing adventure.
