I can do no fap but celibacy may be a little hard with the fiance

Yeah, its going to be hard then because sex is one of the greatest tools that keeps the mind attached to the world.

I wouldn't tell you to do a Buddha because Buddha left his wife and child behind to become enlightened, and Mara the demon tempted Buddha by using his family, and woman and sex, but he fought off the temptation. All this is a metaphor for Buddha was trying to get free but your family, women, worldy things can pull you back into the world.

So, that's a conversation you must have with yourself or maybe you can get your fiancee on the spiritual path as well

Attachment to this world is the cause of all suffering and because you're attached it blinds your reality. Remember, this world is like a dream, so if you fell asleep would you become attached to your dream and run after things in it ? No, because its all in your head and your mind created that dream so it be stupid to run after things you created, and once you understand this you can understand this world.

I can give you some books to help you give up your attachments to the world and become enlightened as well, if you're on the spiritual path.
I can't cosign this I believe in minimalism
but there is utility in wealth
I see too many on there spiritual path that are just leeches and couldnt function on their own
Just feel like people trade too much of their lives for meaningless possessions
its about balance

Why do you think there is utility in wealth ? And you must be talking about people who are faking the funk on the spiritual path. A person who's taking the spiritual path serious knows the path to wisdom is a lonely one.

Wealth could make the world a better place with ease
If people weren't greedy it would solve alot of problems
You can use a million dollars to help people or buy a car the choice is yours

Money can't help nobody only knowledge and wisdom of the truth can only do that.

Only reason people are greedy because they feel their lacking, but if they knew they are attached to everything in this world, there would be no need to desire anything

That has been one of my greatest challenges on the spiritual path. I try to get her on the same path but she seems to be at a different frequency. I often think of the Buddha and his decision to leave his family behind for enlightenment. It was through trial and error and then finally enlightenment that he discovered that one doesnt have to fully renounce the world to be liberated. However, to get to that point of conciousness one must make great sacrifices. But I dont want to leave me family. And I hope that by embodying these spiritual concepts it will influence those around me whom I love to follow me on the journey. As time goes on its becoming more and more of a pipedream. One day I'll have to accept that my loved ones are exactly where they need to be in their level of consciousness and there is nothing I can do to change it.

Knowledge and wisdom not putting food in your stomach or giving you shelter
People who are successful are not always lacking
If you create a service or product that generates money you are not obligated to give it to the less fortunate

This may be true. Many so called spiritual people appear to live disfunctional lives. However, this doesn't negate the fact that materialism will never bring true happiness. Do not confuse spiritual seekers with spiritual truth.

Nah, Buddha fully renounced the world, Mara tempted him with worldly things and he passed the world must die to one for the veil to be removed to see the truth. Buddha went back a couple times and seen his wife and child but other than that he lived his own life.

You sounded like me the more consciousness I grew spiritually U was trying to give the wisdom but it fell on death ears and you must understand that they are spiritually young souls, they are children still and because of that they give this world up, this is all they know and they're going to keep being reincarnated until one finally grows up and desires more than what the world can give them.

But it's like Jesus said until one hates the world, even hates his own life he won't do the kingdom of Heaven. And that your family is the people vibrating on the same frequency as you

So you and your lady got a lot of thinking to do i wouldn't tell you to leave her because I don't know how determined you are to become enlightened and the path of enlightenment is a lonely one and I don't if you can handle that, but you can if you desire bad enough to transcend this world.

I just feel you should be self sufficient
Begging and borrowing everything from others is not the wave
Its not too far from preachers who do the same just a lower level version of it

Think about it if you have knowledge and wisdom you don't have to worry about where your next meal is coming from or roof over your head because your knowledge and wisdom will keep you intact.

Money has no value until you give it value. Nothing of this world can help you but spirituality. Money comes and goes, you eat you're going to get hungry again, you drink a bottle of water youre going to get thirsty again, and that's why man can't live off bread alone, only spirituality endures one forever.
