@BlendingInfinite thank you

That’s interesting but for this website I’m going to be using a theme template. Otherwise it would take me a year or more to set it all up. As a pre-teen, I remember teaching myself to code. I even built a tech website with a friend from scratch using HTML and CSS. Very basic and really fun and enjoyable. Thanks.

I’d say behavior is secondary. The “person” is relatively the same, what changes is their level of consciousness relative to their true nature. Just some cosmology I made up and believe.

A good example of “meta-source” is: Sloww.co. The author compiles, and consumes from, very diverse sources of information. Pretty useful. Stage yellow website. You might want to head over his reading list.

Leo has contributed positively to my life. I’m grateful for his teachings, for the most part. The only thing that occurs to me right now that puts me off is his strong emphasis on psychedelics. I’ve had some experience with them but doubt the premise that they can increase consciousness. They may increase self-awareness and facilitate insights. That is my current take on this topic.

Love that one! A book I recommend you is: Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Lovely spiritual literature.

What do you mean? Contemplation requires openness. It looks like making conclusions beforehand is a self-imposed obstacle. This isn’t contemplation. How could you know whether it is true or mistaken? You may be stuck in intellect. I’d recommend open questioning and to avoid extrapolating. What is X? is a useful template which I also usually take for granted. Not to invalidate paradoxes and confusion.

Especially at the beginning, I think reading is useful. It gives you useful pointers and makes you cognizant of various obstacles and traps you’re likely to fall into. I think excellent literature offers a compass or can be used as scaffolding. If you want, you can simply throw yourself into contemplation instead. But some theory makes you consider different perspectives, even if perspective is irrelevant relative to enlightenment. Although it is ultimately not needed because in order to grasp You, you only need You. Consider the example of Ramana Maharshi. He didn’t even hold the notion of enlightenment and yet he got deeply and permanently conscious in an instant. In terms of life success, absolutely; reading is a must in my mind. Naval Ramikant, for example, is an entrepreneur that endorses reading as essential for his success. Even without practice, a book in the right time can change your perspective or disposition, or inspire you. This can make a difference. But hey, I’ll tell you when I get successful (rich). 😄

I completely took that for granted, thanks for the reminder.

I think this feature would be useful. A button to the main website beside Activity, perhaps.

@AlphaAbundance @BlendingInfinite Thank you guys.

Hello all. I’m committed to starting a business. Lately, I’ve been researching marketing, logistics, and everything related to my field of mastery, which I’ve called “self-help”, used as an umbrella term for self-actualization, including spirituality, nutrition, and psychedelics. I wonder if the admin has some advice on this, and whether you guys could share tips and resources.
