- Am I really working on raising consciousness or am I just a slave teaching the best ways to stay enslaved to this world online? I am not sure.
- Do we already have eternal life right this moment without the need to do anything or have done anything to earn it? That feels like the truth to me.
- How do we know if we are truly helping and being of service today? Are upvotes and comments the best way to tell? How about views?
- Is the purpose of life to learn how to love? Those with Near Death Experiences or NDEs seem to consistently agree on this point. It feels true to me.
- What do I need to do today to love unconditionally in each situation? Keep writing this post or do something else?
- Why do we accomplish so much during the day and then go to bed at night feeling like we did not do enough? Still trying to work this one out.
- When is it time to stop hustling, end fantasy, and enjoy the future which is today that we worked so hard for yesterday? Am I doing that now or is this just more hustling? At what point is the bank account big enough to just take a day off and not think about it?
- Would anyone still follow me if they saw me picking my nose and eating the booger which I could not even spell without spellcheck? After our almost two year old daughter had finished picking a booger and was about to eat it, my wife started to explain about how dirty it was and why she should not eat it. I did not say anything because it seems I am just too lazy to go to the bathroom and try to throw it down the sick and wash my hands. I mean it was in my nose how dirty can it be?
- Is it courageous or disgusting to share intimate body details like above? Maybe a bit of both?
- Why does the idea of posting naked pictures of myself feel so vulnerable when my body is my most beautiful creation which I have been working on for nearly 34 years? If my friends did it, I probably would too. The world would probably be a happier place if we all felt comfortable being naked. That would be a lot of motivation to make a diet one enjoyed and stick to it. Maybe I should try a nudist colony.
Thank you for reading the next ten questions I have asked in my new series where I share ten questions I think about each day because I hope this helps with feeling connected and raising our collective consciousness to see the big beautiful world we live in! If you would like me to do more of these, would you please upvote this post because I decide what to keep doing based on what you upvote the most?
Love,
Jerry Banfield

I think about this often. In regards to digital privacy sometimes I think we'd all be better of without it. If everyone's nude photos were made public no one would care. There'd be millions of people you could see nude, literally any of your friends you could see em naked if you wanted. They could also see you naked. But in the end everyone will get tired of seeing people they know naked, it won't be such a big deal.
The only reason leaked naked photos have such a big impact and people get blackmailed over them is because of the power we give to them. There's nothing inherently wrong with being naked, nothing wrong with sex, nothing wrong with shitting. It's all natural. You wouldn't be here unless every single one of your forefathers got naked and had sex. How did it become so taboo is our society? Such a shame, we're ruining kid's futures by not talking about sex, by pretending it doesn't happen and forcing them to go online to learn about it.
Seriously, you wouldn't give a kid the keys to a car and expect them to learn without making any mistakes. Why then do we expect kids to learn how sex works without being taught? Mistakes in this area can be very costly

"Is the purpose of life to learn how to love." @jerrybanfield do you think there is an ultimate purpose in life? Or just one that we make up?
I think that we don't have a purpose given to us, but it's okay if we make one up.
"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." - Dalai Lama
"The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away." -Pablo Picasso

(5). "What do I need to do today to love unconditionally in each situation", its by far the hardest one to apply in my own life, mostly due to a history and nature/nurture. Like a leap of faith, its requires one to set aside a predisposition of being skeptical and believe in the greater good. One hopes karma is watching, but is that not a selfish goal? I think so.

A lot to ponder upon for the rest of the day... Well. i caught on this....."How do we know if we are truly helping and being of service today? Are upvotes and comments the best way to tell? How about views?" And I say to that, well, it all depends on the stage we are in. If you are looking for views alone(i.e people that would actually read the comment), facebook is there to facilitate that and though we have been doing that all the while. Now, having a platform wherein both views and upvotes can be achieved, the truth is that someday (when the people would not care only about the upvotes) people would go for the more views. At a stage where most do not care about the earnings (all confortable) then the views would come.

Do you feel like a slave? If you are not enjoying what you are doing here then I would say you are definitely leaning that way. People are reading your posts and gaining knowledge from them including myself.
That is a very deep question that a few simple sentences cannot answer. I really hope the killers and evil people are not living eternally somewhere.
Comments are the best way to tell, although views sure would help. It's tough when you write a post for an hour and a half and your receiving upvotes and great comments, but it quickly disappears as new content is being posted every single second pushing your post further and further down the spectrum.
I would say learning to love is a purpose of life. Not just learning to love but learning to accept, which I feel goes hand in hand.
Read all the responses and reply to the ones who really took time to write them.
6.I'm trying to figure out why I accomplish so much when I have no time, but when I'm off of work and don't have anything to do I get nothing done. I will say when I get things done, I'm proud of my work.
7.Do you enjoy the hustle. I've discovered that when I'm not hustling I'm not as happy. I feel like hard work and making a difference is what life is about. I feel like a lot of people who suffer, are suffering when they are not working.
8.I think right now you would be followed on here regardless of what you did.
I don't think it is really either. Disgusting things are a part of life, especially when you have pets and kids. I think anyone who has either of the two understand.
10.I agree with that idea, but I also agree that if you do not post pictures of yourself naked and you only show your naked body to the person you love then it is one way to give them something that no one else in the world can have. I think there is something special to that.
