That's an easy one.

There isn't "your" or "my" definition of success. Success is an objective thing, and it's the ability to set realistic goals and accomplish them as effectively and efficiently as possible. If you plan to walk five steps today and then you set out and actually do it, you will have succeeded in that task. The end result/goal is irrelevant. It is a success as long as it matters to you, no matter how small.

Though, you can be less successful or more successful than others, or than your own self at certain times in your life compared to others. It depends on your resources and bodily + mental capabilities at any given moment, and these could change. The good thing is that you can't be 100% successful or 100% a loser all the time. It's not possible. And that's because you are capable of making mistakes and learning. The question is: Are you going to let the mistakes set you back or fuel your desire to improve? The truth is that you will make and keep making mistakes all the time, we all do, we're all humans. You will fall down, and try again, c'est la vie. The only failure in life is giving up. Don't give up.

Hi! Just finished watching the video. There's a lot in there. The process you're going through seems very personal. Though, I like how you closed with open-mindedness while referencing courage and faith. It is certainly a most powerful combination. I always keep in mind that it's always possible that I don't have the whole picture, and so I try to not quickly jump to conclusions. I don't think it's necessarily delusional what you're experiencing, but I don't think it's easy either to dissect any part of it and then gather some tangible understanding, or even just have opinions without knowing your entire history. One thing that I'd noticed about my spiritual journey was that it almost always had to do with my past. I was confused about the present, then I learned from shadow work that the best way to understand the present is through understanding the past. There were certain fixations that did not go away until I dug back into my past and got to the root memory that initiated them to begin with. They just built on top of that memory until it got buried deeply underneath until I lost track of it.

But I'm guessing you've probably figured out this much on your own already, so this might not be very helpful, anyway. I'm just here for the cookie. I want it so bad xD

Seriously though, there's a part of my awakening that had to do with the external circumstances that were happening at the time (war, stress, existential crisis, etc.). It was hard to see that until the external circumstances changed. I was like a fish in the sea in that sense. The present itself was inducing an altered perception, and it did not even occur to me that that was even a possibility at the time. I used to think that there's reality, and that's it. Now I think there's reality, and there's my interpretation that is likely influenced by my current state and many other factors. It was a game-changer for me when I realized this, thanks to Leo. It separated me from my thoughts and I was finally able to dis-identify/detach from them, which caused my ego to disintegrate. When my ego disintegrated, I surrendered deeply and let go of everything, until I hit rock-bottom or peak state (I know it probably doesn't make much sense, but it was both at the same time!). During that period of time (over 6 months), I experienced Love. It started strong right after my ego-death, then it faded away a little. Then I started meditating for 6-8 hours+ a day and Love started intensifying again. I saw the absolute Beauty and Interconnectedness in everything around me. It was awesome! And it kept on growing more and more every day every time I would go to walk outside and meditate. I was deeply depressed before that, but then I discovered this whole new world of ecstasy. It was unbelievable that such levels of joy were possible, and that I wasn't even aware of them. After that period, I found a new job and started going to work again, and I had to control that state because it was too much for the real world. But it kept flowing outside of my control, and I kept experiencing ecstasy for some more months. It was the most vulnerable state that I've ever been in. I could not keep going in that direction. I don't know exactly what happened. I kind of wanted it to stop because it destroyed my whole discipline and self-control functionality. But it also seemed to have reached its conclusion on its own and that my time was up with that energy, so I let it go. Later I started a project that was dedicated to find balance in all areas of my life. And I learned to create the balance between self-control and acceptance. It's documented (at least the beginning part) here in the journals section (but not in this journal).

Ultimately, I agree with you that everyone's spiritual journey is private and personal, and that my keys might not work for anyone else. But I think our stories are worth sharing because there can be some similarities that might be useful if we look at them from a meta perspective. The content of my experience might not match the content of your experience, but the context might do. So that's how sharing can be best utilized in my opinion/experience. I have found that I learn the most by looking at the patterns and taking notice without letting the content influence my center/authentic experience.

Finally, it's nice seeing you. You look bright, radiant, beautiful, pure, and innocent. Like an absolute treat. Keep glowing.

There is a chance that all of Leo's seeking is a cope, and that someday he's gonna kill himself. I'm red-flagging all of his content. He's not a reliable source anymore.

Anyway, let's talk about that whore...

Back in my early teenage years, I used to work in a pharmacy, a place which I hated the most, cuz it took me away from my authentic desire (tech). Someday, though, the boss Fadi, decided to spice things up a little bit by hiring a nurse. He claimed that it was to ensure that women can get the privacy they need that they can't get with him, and plus she could help out in general. Understandable, at least the sounds of it.

I used to work two shifts; from 10 am to 3 pm then from 5:30 to 10:30 pm. So basically I worked 10 hours a day 6 days a week on summer vacations. On the other hand, this nurse, Fatima, had to work only one shift, from 5 to 9 pm. She didn't last long though. She was in her mid 20s, divorced, tan, short, and cute. She also had a nickname "Swan" cuz she looked like one haha. Next to this job, she used to work in a hospital, which was her main job and source of income (allegedly). She had an apartment next to her parents' and her little sis (another whore, but maybe for another time).

All of this came back to me while listening to this playlist:

The reason is that Fatima used to play these songs on her phone a lot when she was there. At that time, there was also the Turkish drama fever that infected the entire Arab culture. Turkish drama shows were being dubbed in Arabic, and everyone was hypnotized by them, including me.

So why am I calling her a whore? Well, that's because she is! She used to fuck with Fadi. I did not know at the time, but then later I connected the dots and got it. Here are some of the dots:

  • I caught them kissing once in the inner room of the pharmacy.
  • Every time they're there before I come on my night shift.
  • Every time I enter, they start acting weird. Once she had to cover her groin with her nurse dress.
  • The first porn I've ever watched was on her phone. Sex in the bathroom, the wedding night. I remember everything.
  • She used to share that porn with him.
  • She used to talk a lot about her male superiors at the hospital and how much they adore her.
  • Once I came on my night shift, but the pharmacy was closed. A few minutes later, Fadi comes in his car claiming that he had to check on Fatima's mom and give her an injection. (Of cooooooooooooooooourse ;)).
  • She used to touch me and rub herself on me and draw hearts when she's next to me.
  • Every few days she would invent some drama and make it an excuse to skip work.
  • The list goes on and on...

So back then my autism was high and could not figure all this out. Right now it's clear as day. They were fucking, and she was also fucking her superiors at the hospital to gain benefits. Gold-digger or a whore, I'm not sure which one is the right term. Probably both ;)

Now I realize every way she used to hypnotize and manipulate men, including me and Fadi. Her perfume, her sexy laughter, everything. She was a pro. Even I fell in love with her but did not even get a piece of that thing :) I was like 13 at that time. But even though I hated that job, I would come so eagerly on my night shift, because she was there. She lightened up the whole place. But when she goes, I'm back to hating the job and counting the minutes until my time is over.

So why did she leave? Well, she didn't. She got fired, because I told on her. She was stealing from Fadi, and selling him back the stolen stuff. How stupid was I? Why did I tell on her? I hated Fadi and loved her, and yet I still did the wrong thing. If I could go back in time, I would not tell Fadi, but rather blackmail her into sex. Or at least a kiss from time to time -_- Dammit, she was hot! Really, a Swan!

I really hate myself right now for being such a righteous idiot. Who does that?!

But it was worth it to see Fadi's reaction. He flipped out and called her immediately to fire her. I was his most trusted advisor, so he did not doubt me. There was clear evidence, too. So I did not make anything up. He probably felt used and taken advantage of, which he probably hated the most, since he is a narcissist. But what surprises me even now is how she was able to hypnotize all of us and use everyone like that for her benefit. I used to daydream about her a lot. I really really fell in love with her and was addicted to her presence, even though she did not give me anything. The good thing is that I did not give her anything either. She doesn't ask. She just takes what she wants, when she wants to. A real pro.

I don't know what the absolute is, and you don't know, either. It's there (Here), recognizable yet unknowable. Yet I know for sure that it isn't consciousness. Enough with the hippy nonsense.

Still am not able to resolve the GesInsights Website issue. Maybe I need some rest. I've been working on this project non-stop for over a week, and before that I was gathering info and went tangent a lot too. It was two weeks of constant/high use/pressure on the mind, which I'd forgotten what it's like long ago. I even started skipping meditation sessions because of that. This evening I went out and meditated, and realized that I made a mistake, not a big deal, but still a mistake. The site I made is not a blog for everyone like I claimed. It's a blog for me, and a private journal for everyone. This is ought to happen when you focus too much on the details and forget to zoom out. You need to zoom out every once in a while and examine what you're doing as if you're an outsider in order to gain perspective and clarity. This last meditation session helped me regain some of my big picture thinking and clarity. I should be careful not to lose my high state for the focus on details (programming requires a highly-detailed approach, no mistakes allowed). I should have both on high levels, and I think I can. They're not opposites, just two different lines of development that can be turned into either strengths or weaknesses. In fact, I would argue that developing one line helps the development of the other in some way, cuz they're two interconnected skills. It's like riding a bicycle. You can't lean too much into either directions. Balance is the best way to go.

This morning I meditated and realized my Divine Mission/Purpose. It's a state of consciousness (the realization, not the purpose itself), a feeling - as it should be. And it is a good feeling, and I want more of it.

So after spending years in ego disintegration (ego-death, selflessness, spirituality, Buddhist enlightenment, feminine integration, confusion, psychosis, whatever you want to call it), and yes it has been a long and a tough journey. Finally, after all that time and struggling to find and maintain a sense of self, I've finally restored my ego. It's still not as best as it can get, but at least somewhere near where it was at max before the disintegration, and that's good enough for now. I'm not quite sure how it happened, I have some guesses, but I guess that's not really the point that I'm trying to make.

The point that I'm trying to make is that I've always been a man of purpose, even if I didn't always realize it. I've been wrong and deluded at times, and stupid at times, but even those moments were me following a purpose, a drive that's within me, that is so deep and innate to me, yet at the same time completely dependent on the world around me, that pushes me to me move. It's the essence that powers my engines, and what gives meaning to my entire life. I'm a person who always seeks perfection; the better and the best. My mission is to improve Life, to make it a better place, for me and everybody around me. I didn't choose this mission, it's just part of who I am, and it's Divine.

And it doesn't stop there. It's not like I really have to always be doing something profound or meaningful in order to achieve my mission. No, not at all. Today, I realized that whatever I'm doing, I am after my mission somehow, just because I am, and because it is true. Even when I am taking a shit, I'm still after my mission, because taking a shit is a necessity, not something I'm just doing irresponsibly to avoid my mission. I will even go as far to say that even when I'm doing something seemingly malignant, I'm still doing the world something good, that's my intent and it comes from my core desire, which is my Mission.

I've never done one random or unpurposeful thing in my entire life, even when I was lost. My inner compass has always been there. Intact, and always up and running. I don't follow my pleasures, and I don't chase luxuries, even though I can enjoy those things but only to the extent that empowers me, charges up my tanks, and boosts my capacity for more improvement. I don't know about everyone else, but that's who I am on the deepest level. When I'm working, it's to create a better world. When I'm resting, it's to charge up for more work. My mission is to exist, and to exhaust this Life until I die. To live this life to the fullest, and to make it a better place, that's how I can die in peace without regrets, knowing that I did what I came/was sent here to do.

And after completing my spiritual journey, I can finally say that I am the embodiment of the Divine Marriage between the Masculine and the Feminine. I am Complete. The rest is just Updates, and I'll keep collecting them as I'm going. There's nothing else to do except to be Me.

Everyone is possessed by the ego and the illusion of free will. But when the ego collapses and you realize the illusory nature of free will, that's when you become typically possessed. Realizing no free will dissociate you from reality by creating a barrier between you and your desires. The normal person does not have that barrier. They're enmeshed in the dream so deeply and completely that they don't even realize they are possessed by their desires. They think they are the author of their thoughts, desires, and actions. And while that is technically false, it's still a better experience than being stuck with the truth of no free will. Life is a self-driving car. When you're an ego (in a stable environment), the car seems to follow your instructions, But when you dissociate, the car seems to be moving on its own and does not obey your instructions, which can be scary if you're new to that experience. That's the Buddhist enlightenment. But since it's your life that's self-driving, that means it's you. The car is you, and has been all along. That's what Leo refers to as God-realization. It's also in the 10 ox-herding model, probably the 7th picture.
