Why does Leo's advice doesn't work for me ?

[Majed]

So, I am going to break down Leo's advice into 3 different categories: spiritual, dating wise, and career wise. 

Since I started my journey with actualized.org I've done a lot of work. Spirituality is probably where I've gotten the most success out of the three domains i listed above. I've done hundreds of hours in total of combined meditations and contemplations, and my consciousness really grew a lot. However, I had rare ecstatic experiences before doing spiritual work then I didn't have such robust experiences sober. I've tried mdma once, and it was a really great spiritual experience, however I won't do psychedelics anymore because I have mental illnesses. I should do more spiritual work like contemplation and meditation to get more mystical experiences, however that isn't a priority for now. 

Dating wise, I've had success too, I've had a lot of experience approaching women, close to 2700 approaches, a lot of make outs in clubs, however never got laid because I didn't have money for the hotel room, because of my mental illnesses I couldn't get a job, I was too dysfunctional to work. After treatment though I am planning on getting a job, to have money to take girls to hotel rooms and get laid there. 

Career wise is where I didn't have much success yet, simply because I didn't really work at it, since my passion is rap music and I need money for proper equipment, which since I am planning on getting a job soon, am planning to get those equipment and make higher quality rap songs. I have a talent for rap, but I just need more financial resources to actualize my vision. I have a strategy of posting reels regularly where I rap and create a Patreon where people can support me in exchange of exclusive content. If I can get some 50 people to donate 10 dollars a month, I'll be able to quit my job and focus full time on rap. 

I am still 23 years old. So yeah, that's that.

Chill out and keep working on marketable skills and you'll be fine. I think you're on the right path.

23 is way too young to expect to have mastered all of this, especially if you have known mental illness.

Just put your head down and keep chipping away at it, best you can.

@aurum Yessir.

Spirituality is universal.

Dating and career are local. They differ in different environments. You should seek advice on these matters from people who have had success in your environment or similar.

Sounds like you should focus on basic things before doing more spiritual work.

Maslow is hierarchy of needs shows clearly that you first need to be able to put food on the table.

You won’t be able to have complete freedom without a proper business.

Freedom will give you the time to focus on all other domains.

@Heaven Yeah, but I was confused kind of about how should I earn money, whether through a job, university or following my passion for rap music. Or some kind of combination.

 @Jirh Nope there exist timeless principles on how to live life properly and achieve success in these different areas.

An advice is a loose recommendation that is ripe for investigation to the independent mind.
Applying any advice at all will fail you if that’s not something you realize the importance of in your own experience. You can’t be mechanical at all. Even the right advice fails if you do it mechanically.
 

And Leo also has bad advices. If an advice doesn’t work maybe it’s the wrong advice.

[Majed]

@Rigel Dude read my post before responding lol. 

[Sincerity]

Why would you say it doesn’t work for you? Sounds like you’re progressing on your path. That is it „working”.

You’re doing good. Be patient. Follow your highest excitement/intuition, take action in reality, it’s all going to be fine. In fact, it is fine right now. Enjoy the moment.

I did. It sounds like you are copying Leo’s framework pretty closely and it hasn’t worked for you yet. Unfortunate but my comment makes sense if you try a little harder.
