Abandoning the old and embracing the new.
The timeless present is ever-changing, those who live in it are bound to change.
The new age calls for a radical shift in thinking and feeling. To escape the repetitive daily patterns of life that only brings constant dissatisfaction and suffering, one must learn to live in the present and stop being disillusioned by forms.
It is only through the experience of timeless present that we can begin to understand the true meaning of freedom and being.
Thus, instead of letting our time be helplessly sucked in the black hole of instant gratification, we must let go and surrender everything that's keeping us tied in this material world.
The past, future, our thoughts, ego, reputation, emotions, identity, and roles are no longer needed in the timeless present in which we exist. Life demands nothing but our presence — to keep our eyes completely open and alert at all times, so that we may learn to see the truth and follow the light at all times.
From this day onwards, the mind has only three jobs: think whenever necessary, keep observing thoughts and emotions in third person, and remain completely silent when doing nothing.
Isn't the amount of unused time you have, but the amount of time you are truly free.
Now that we have uninstalled our Tachiyomi and yugioh game, we now have so much free time in our hands and it is necessary for us to remain present and awake at all times, such that we may not fall again into the old patterns of procrastination.
We're already past the phase of writing articles of analysis and too much thinking. The most important thing for us now is staying present in the moment and doing real things that will make us feel real.
Aside from that, it's important for us not to get too involved with our emotions and brain chemicals, to live our life without the need to endlessly think and identify with our emotions.
Although it's a little sad that we're still not enlightened enough to do this perfectly every second of our life, we will try this much as we can and keep practicing until we become a master.
I have observed that there are still some emotions that we so frequently identify ourselves with. These are:
Arousal - Having an extremely attractive cute girl around me somehow makes me lose my mind and decrease my level of consciousness. It seems that my ego mind enjoys identifying itself as an extremely awkward, sensitive, and romantic person, and it loves to play fantasy as an mc in a harem story.
Withdrawal - Whenever an opportunity presents itself, my ego mind immediately and automatically tries to run away and hide inside its own self-made fortress of excuses. Once this happens, it becomes difficult to drag it away from there and pull it to the present moment of reality. It somehow believes that if it doesn't run away or make excuses, then it would be equivalent to rejecting myself, even threatening me to throw a tantrum that it's being forced to do something with a knife on its neck.
Shrink - Whenever I'm around people, my ego mind seem to love shrinking itself to become as small, insignificant, and worthless as possible. It identifies itself as someone who can't answer questions immediately, make proper conversations, or perform a coherent speech. However, during the times where its existence feels threatened, it tries to make itself look as big as possible.
From now on, any kind of analysis that I'll made shall be devoid of any judgement and criticism, for there's no need to forcefully change anything.
One must only be made aware and accepting of their own insanity before they make themselves sane.
Patience and awareness is the key to a progressive spiritual development.
Not future planning.
Now that I have a lot of free time, there are some new things I want to do while staying as present and awake as possible to prevent any interference from my ego mind.
The first one, Large-Scale Life Research Survey would be my stepping stone towards gaining as much primary information about humans, using those information to see more of reality, expand my social circle, and reach my future dreams.
The second one, No-Competition Business would be for me to find a secret underground passageway that will allow me to circumvent society's stupid rat race and become the richest person with barely any competition.
And the third one, is to see how much I can hack within society in front of the screen. I'd like to see for myself the possibility of infiltrating society's network systems by utilizing the prevalence of social media through social engineering.
That being said, too much planning would only cripple my actions and prevent me from doing anything meaningful. I'll only cover the first item "Large-Scale Research Survey" and give a quick outline of what I'm planning to do.
Style: Professional looking research survey with fun incentives.
Personal Info

Topics:
Open-ended question topics: (max 5 opt)
Hm there's too much questions. It would be better for me to merge the Quick Personality test with the Enlightenment Presence Test. If an online survey has over 15 questions, then one must give an interesting test result.
It's inevitable, but for more people to take our survey, we must give some instant fun test results. Btw it would be cooler if they can see how many person took this choice than others at the end of the test, giving us instant raise in engagement with least effort.
So it's important that I should at least give a test results covering:
Hm I just realized that personality test can be stupid since people change very often. I'll add the character development test to measure how often they change.
Now it's time to do some real work.
"Endless thinking is the source of most frustrations and stress."
"Emotional identification, thinking that you are your emotions, is the source of most suffering and pain."
"There's no more beautiful and peaceful scenery than the present moment."
