Beware of Dropping All "Low Conscious" Friends

Seeing through this Consciousness lens is really dangerous, and can lead to a ridiculously high standard of perfectionism, arrogance, and close-mindedness in relations; as well as dehumanizing people as egos, in my experience. I dropped all my friends but one, and totally regret it.  Looking back, even though they did some low conscious activities, these friends could hold good conversations and provide insight. Be careful not to dismiss advice a low conscious person says based upon their actions (drinking, chasing girls, money).  If you're young (19ish), do not do this hardcore hermit shit yet or waiting for the perfect high conscious people to come into your life. Especially if you are a little ignorant of your self-deception mechanisms, intense isolation from people can lead to a lot of ego-backlash, social unawareness&selfishness, and comfort seeking behaviors. The ego turned "Lifestyle Minimalism" and "How to Cure Loneliness" as an excuse to not go out and experience life. This demonizing of stimulation/fun/sex and girls was a stick up my ass - that knocked me off the path.  Remember, SAVOR LIFE, LET LOOSE, and experience - everything is NOT about Enlightenment or being high conscious 100% of the time. Doing otherwise will fuck up your enlightenment and deepen ignorance, perhaps. Living in a Self-Actualization Bubble is good 60% of the time.  Experience and Stimulation is still CRUCIAL for PD.
