Meditation v social relationships

[rush]

In a lot of maintstream media, the importance of relationships are widely accepted as needed to be a happy individual, e.g friends, marriage etc. Was wondering how this intertwines with the more monk/ meditative lifestyle people willingly choose to pursue? Are we not hard wired to be social creatures ?

The more you interact with others (be social) the more you learn about yourself (like in meditation). And vice versa. The more you meditate and learn about yourself, the easier your social interactions will be

To learn about others is to learn about yourself and to learn about yourself is to learn about others.

@rush nope, we are not hardwired to be social people. It’s a societal misconception. 

The monk lifestyle is one who has seen through the veils of pleasure and pain. It is a vow to spend all of ones time in god consciousness. 

This is the reason enlightenment is only pursued by the hardcore monk. 

Howevrr this does not work in western culture and Leo saw through this. If you study under actualise.org you’ll gain knowledge about the physical world and be able to socialise. Whereas in traditional teachings it seriously lacks social implications as it is a complete negation of the mind. By the time the person is enlightened, they don’t wish to be around others. Or they will only talk about enlightenment. 

The main issue with enlightened people is this: their dis attachment in the face of illusion. Because illusion is not real to them. But under Leo’s teaching it’s different there is only real and that includes your mundane everyday life. 

Self actualising is about living a completely integrated life. It is infact the best life a human can live under ANY circumstances. Due to the amount of reading he’s done. 

The design of self actualising is ingenious and mind blowing once fully understood.
