I’m on a quest for self mastery. So is Lauren. We’ve read many books, had countless thought experiments, shared visions for the future, had discussions while fasting, discussions while not seeing eye to eye, etc etc. this is a life long journey. My viewpoints come from decades of learning, unlearning and discerning but the goal is always betterment of the self. I fail constantly and return again, hopefully with a little less ego and more knowledge. Also, self means many things to many people, so outcomes will drastically differ.
Stick with searching for truth, questioning yourself, questioning others, self mastery and more love, never less. Good luck on your quest.
