Is it a good idea to give up the material side of life in favor of the spiritual?

[Antichrist]

Is it a good idea to give up the material side of life in favor of the spiritual? I've been thinking about it for a long time ... . As for me, there are a lot of things in material life that distract you from spirituality. Maybe I should completely abandon the material side of life and go to some remote village or an isolated island, where I will have my own farm with chickens and cattle and will be able to meditate for at least 5-6 hours a day, which will give me the opportunity to achieve spiritual goals much faster than if I was spending time trying to achieve success in the material world??.... Need your advice...

Thanks in advance!

Opt in for 50/50. There is as much spirit in the physical as it is on the higher levels.

A balance is required and it will help you a lot in the longterm. The idea of fortfeiting the material for the astral is just bogus nonsense. The Soul [this is why people are sent in with reincarnations] is here to also learn and adapt materially and physically. The two levels are correlated directly. The soul needs adaptation to both levels to grow fully and as a whole.

If you had a farm all on your own, you would not have as much time as you think. That is wishful thinking. You'd be working your ass off from dawn to dusk, and would most likely be too tired afterward and fall asleep after eating. Farms should be owned and work on by multiple people, not by individuals.

. So spot on. .

Since I finally have the time to reply to this, I'll give you my thoughts made by your own.

Back then, before I got enrolled on college, I accidentally hit my coccyx on a hard object while sitting, and I was having a hard time moving my hips because it was painful. In that moment, I realized why those old people have their backs curved in pain :?

I was also starting out in yoga and meditations at that time, so I did a simple google search as to how to stretch the lower spine more. I did the poses, and I healed in less than a month. I was so happy that I decided to focus more on meditations

But, college rolled in, and I wanted nothing to do with it. I want to meditate instead, not to interact with people! I'm simply not ready and thought some things that is equivalent to a spiritual germaphobe, worrying that the negative energies I had would transmit to my new classmates I barely know about.


After a month of not going to college due to anxiety and many more irrational thoughts, I decided to interact with my school once and for all. It wasn't that bad. I was overreacting, but that one month was enough for me to get suspended by one of my teachers.

Long story short, I need to take another semester just for that one subject I missed. I also did tried to reason with the professor, but his conditions was beyond ridiculous that I didn't bother and was thankful that professor got replaced.


Other than that, I also didn't finish the second semester in college because of the tuition fees my aunt failed to pay. Some factors were that she kept four pets at that time, and I have to take care all of them. I blamed a lot on my aunt and her husband, being that she never should have adopted pets I needed to take care of, wondering where all those money went, and so many factors about her that I find unlikeable.

This mindset continued on until I was bedridden due to astral attacks. That moment, I realized why everything did not improve for me.


I never did any spells that would improve my physical situation.

Money Spells? Binding my aunt since she's an a-hole? Nope, even if I got to that article a few times already, I never did!~

I only did ONE money spell for forty days for them, but after that, POOF! Gone, none, yadda. Never worked on it again. I feel so stupid now that I think about it, I won't blame you if you're facepalming as you're reading this :lol:


What good are the meditations in this site and forums if we never even took the time to use most of them?

I'm not saying "go all out," I'm saying that we should have the time to do them if we can.


Good thing I wasn't the one forum user who will just make an account and be the whiny type, who will ask:

"Why is everyone in this forum getting all the physical necessities? I barely see them complaining about their physical world :|"

Durrrr, Sketches, you're only empowering yourself and the Gods by doing Rituals! :lol:


In short: The physical world needs to be taken care of as well. It can improve by us meditating, but you also need to keep a good schedule

The above happened to me because for two years, I kept the basics. Ironically, I still need to do it due to my current situation, only this time, I need to focus on physical as well

Taxes don't only pay for schools. They also pay for security, waste disposal, and so on. I do disagree with them being separate from your income tax, though. It would probably be best just to have a flat rate income tax and no other taxes.

In America for about 150 years income tax didn't exist but we did use an excise tax for import/export duties. Yes taxes are important they are a way of paying for things in essence extracting value from private region. Many people hate taxes and paying taxes that's good. Because it shows the system either broke or was broken easily or the 300IQ version it was meant from the beginning to break it functions fine maybe a few hiccups from time to time, easy to blame on others, then boom once it's rooted in the system and backed up it starts the crash/es.

I believe as long as business and income tax(despite America not possessing income tax early in our history. I do believe IF properly done income tax can be a good way to force multiply the economy AS long as taxing is done properly). It's good to have said taxes. I don't agree that companies should be taxed to death or taxed to be lobbying and pushing strange loop holes or whatever. In other words the weakening of the company through financial restrictions makes them lobby their ass off looking for a chunk of tax break which acts like a pusher away from good states. In other words not anti-Autarky at the national level, but anti-Autarky at the State level whereby there is a state perfect for a manufacturer but another state takes the company for reducing taxes a bit.

I'm aware in an WW2 regime society the government interferes in the private market and bullies the company rather than companies bullying the government for any shred of money or breaks. But even companies shouldn't be taxed to death. Maybe even the whole gotta spend money to make money and spend EVERY penny to make more pennies can be reduced significantly. I sometimes am at a loss at companies willingly going in debt to purchase goods and services and then bring it back to the black or a gain into the green. It seems companies purposefully use all their money to make some extra money to have extra money. Maybe if companies weren't taxed to death such business practices can be reduced and or eliminated and companies retain some financial black or financial green savings and further invests in the market, people, and or company(themselves)/ies(or others maybe even swiss army knife themselves and be a multi-market company).

BTW funny enough Stormblood, Ron Paul you know end the Fed i.e. Dr. Rand's father. I've heard Ron Paul is not his name I recall someone mentioning he is Russian descent and there's a few issues regarding him in negativity. But many people agree with Ron. And he stated a NFST, National Flat Sales Tax, would help a lot. I don't disagree with him I just believe it wouldn't work because the system was built to crash and not to survive. Perhaps in an WW2 regime system such NFST would work wonders, especially if the tax money is being reinvested to the economy and humanitarianism of the Nation and it's Volk.

It's a very interesting discussion taxes. It's so complex and just pathetic it begs the question at what point do we say enough is enough this is getting out of hand.

It seems the act of economies of the enemy variety is complexify to ad nauseum to hide activities.
