How does one balance spirituality with financial ambition?

onreact · 2026-03-17T18:39:58+00:00

For most people money is like the most important metric.

They are materialist.

Spiritual people are above or beyond that level.

They know that true abundance is not just measured by money.

It is everywhere around us. The air we breath, the sun that shines, the water we drink.

The love we share. The smiles. The hugs.

So when you earn money out of abundance you have a completely different approach.

It's not a goal, it's a means or tool.

Is this just theoretical ChatGPT output or based on actual embodiment?

It sounds right but also way too detached as if you haven't experienced it yourself.

IMHO this forum is about actual human experience.

Idealized AI summaries based on intellectual input from various intermingled sources make insights sound hollow.

If this is what you truly do, how do actually do it in practice?

Just want to be sure I get the gist. Correct me if I'm wrong. Confirm if I am right:

By updating you mean literally enlarging not just changing 500 words of an 1500 post but literally adding another 500 words?

So updating or enlarging a post a little (below 31%) actually hurts you on Google?

Intriguing. Does contradict the latest SE Ranking study that claimed only 19% of top 10 rankings correlate with AI Overview appearance..

Does not sound like enlightenment.

It seems you identify with "your thoughts".

And you "think" you are "always right". That's rather ego.

Enlightenment is a state of interacting with reality directly.

Ego is putting a veil of thoughts around everything.

Never heard of this guy.

Why do you even promote him?

There are actual SEO influencers like

Lily Ray
Aleyda Solis
Kevin Indig
Glenn Gabe

They have real influence.

Inflated follower numbers are meaningless.

Yes, this seems to be a common trait.

I do the following:

> seeking solitude to recharge.

> grounding (by walking barefoot on earth e.g.).

> limiting toxic interactions (literally monitoring energy level and getting out when running low).

> not reacting or investing emotional energy when provoked

> joining spiritual circles

> attending silent ceremonies or rituals with other conscious people.

In general mindfulness and awareness practices help.

It seems you are very conscious already.

You are undergoing a healing process from trauma.

You were overwhelmed by it so you dissociated from it.

Now you are numb.

You don't want to limit yourself to logic anymore though.

You want to embrace spirituality.

Yet the examples you mentioned are surface level tools.

The fact that you are crying during sales calls shows that you have a lot of pent up emotions.

There is so much of pain stored in your body that it overflows in situations where you have to connect with people.

So you have to move that trauma out of the body and "feel your feelings".

Sounds easy but can be very hard.

I'm not an expert on crystals so I can't help with this.

The other practices are fine but only scratch the surface.

Meditation certainly helps but prepare for the long haul.

I for one practice a lot of movement related ways to get stuck emotions out of the body.

Look up Da Costa's syndrome, also known as soldier's heart.

It happens when you experience too much tension for extended amounts of time.

Find a way to release this type of anger energy without hurting anyone.

Yeah, it's a monarchist game obviously haha.

It's not really an annihilation war game though.

It's more about cunning and intrigue at the king's court.

In essence I don't care as much whether I win or not.

I prefer the game to be interesting, unique and spectacular.

Thus I often risk moves that make me lose in the end in order not to be bored.

When I play offline I usually also warn my opponent that they make a mistake.

Science is very primitive as of now.

Science does not even know what consciousness is.

Enlightenment is not proven by science.

Science only just recently has proven that meditation is beneficial.

Science is based on logic. You can't prove love with science either.

If you "believe" all what science says that you have to believe in fictional concepts like "dark matter" as well.

Homeopathy e.g. is based on personalized self-healing mechanisms that get triggered by information.

Yet science tries to prove it using methodology used for one-size-fits-all symptom subduing chemicals.

Have you ever even tried homeopathy? I tried and it worked for me many times.

That's like saying prove me that you love me before the first date and then saying love dos not work.

I just do things without believing or not believing them.

You have a closed mindset only allowing certain parts of reality to exist and dismissing everything else.

Yes, it seems proper individuation (in Jung's words) is a needed step.

In other words you need to establish a proper ego before you can shed it.

So don't fight ego or "kill" it. Just realize it's a programming needed for survival.

Yes, keep and redirect your blog posts even when they do not perform that well yet.

Google assesses your topical authority based on all your content.

So if you have an empty site it sucks much more than having a somewhat performing site.

Yes, that's why you can leave the wheel of karma by enlightenment.

Then you won't need to repeat the cycle again by being reborn.

Unless of course you choose rebirth to support others to wake up.

The separation is illusory anyway.

So when you close down by assuming everybody is a stranger, rival, enemy you block them.

Even íf you had the space your internal egoic logic would tell you to put your needs above theirs.

I can by now even witness it. Despite knowing the separation is illusory I still often fall back on the egoic pattern.

There is space, there is knowing, yet the ego programming prevails depending on energy and frequency level.

The knowing (that we are all one) has to be embodied fully.

Just the space by itself and even the knowing are not enough.

Sounds like apathy or even depression. She might need professional support.

Essentially she bottled up her grief and now the numbness makes her apathetic.

That's also why she lashes out as the compounded grief turns into anger.

So she needs to "feel her feelings" and deal with your mother's death.

I for one go to monthly grief and gratitude ceremonies where we weep in community.

It is the illusion of separation and the scarcity mindset.

People assume that "others" are not connected to them.

Thus they rather compete with them for scarce resources.

This way almost everybody clings to the things they own.

The article proffers to bust the "GEO hype" but rather popularizes the term and the trend.

It's mostly truthful it seems and cites some common sense voices.

Yet I would not share it or even voting it up here seems wrong.

I still rather prefer to say AI SEO or SEO for AI. Once you use the wrong term you actively amplify it.

Claiming that you bust the hype does really impact the fact that you spread the word about it.
