Free resources for self-actualization

Greetings fellow earthlings!

I hope you are enjoying your time here on the forum today.

I was just randomly browsing and found this gem.

Here's what the site owner says about the material - most of it is free -

The Fundamentals of Self-Actualization

With over 300 videos on this site now, with so many different concepts covered, it helps to have an outline of the nuts and bolts of self-actualization.

This is your cheat-sheet. Spend at least a 100 hours learning the fundamental theory. Yes, action is very important, but without first understanding the roots of your problems, that action will easily be misdirected. It takes time for the big picture to gel in your mind. But it will be worth it.

My style of personal development emphasizes: integrating hundreds of diverse perspectives, very big picture understanding, existential investigation, and pragmatism. My aim is to understand life at the deepest levels possible. If you're looking for quick-fixes, this work isn't for you. No meaningful self-transformation will happen impatiently.

But if you diligently take action on everything below, you will feel like a totally new human being.

You can start at this page for the fundamentals - more than enough 2 keep anyone out-of-mischief for some considerable time!

Here is the start page -

High consciousness resources - even mentions another forum at that site - not that RF isn't more than enough of a forum

For example -

The term ‘higher consciousness’ is often used by spiritually-minded people to describe important but hard-to-reach mental states.

Hindu sages, Christian monks and Buddhist ascetics all speak of reaching moments of ‘higher consciousness’ – through meditation or chanting, fasting or pilgrimages.

Unfortunately, the way in which these spiritual people discuss their states of higher consciousness has a tendency to put a lot of secular types on edge. It can all sound maddeningly vague, wishy washy, touchy-feely – and, for want of a better word, annoying. What on earth do these gurus really mean?

We deeply sympathise with such frustrations, not being by nature particularly attracted to the ineffable or the mysterious. However, it seems that the idea of higher consciousness is in fact a very interesting one, which has nothing inherently to do with spirituality and can be defined simply enough in strictly rational and secular terms.

This is how we see it: as human beings, we spend most of our lives functioning in states of lower consciousness, where what we are principally concerned with is ourselves, our survival and our own success, narrowly defined.

Here it is -

How enlightened are you?

If you can live without caffeine,

If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist complaining,

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him or her,

If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,

If you can face the world without lies and deceit,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,

If you can relax without liquor,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

If you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion, gender preference, or politics,

Then you have almost reached the same level of spiritual development as your dog!



Cheers!

If you have read this far ... try this site if the above aint working for you ... for some reason ... we ARE all different!

For example -

A definition of spiritual enlightenment or spiritual awakening is hard to pin down.

This is, in part, because “spiritual enlightenment” and “spiritual awakening” have been used in so many ways to describe so many things, similar to the way in which “love” is used to describe everything from a preference for ice cream to a merging with everything. And it is also because spiritual enlightenment and spiritual awakening are such rich and complex experiences that they are innately hard to define.

Some definitions are very specific and narrow. One such definition for spiritual enlightenment is the complete dissolution of one’s identity as a separate self with no trace of the egoic mind remaining. This sets the bar very high and means that very few people qualify as enlightened.
