Yes, we are on the path of transforming ourselves with actual energy, not just mindless praying or whatever. This also brings a degree of seriousness and caution as well, where you should not rush certain things, either.
One can make a lot of progress doing "simple" tasks like training their mind or deep cleaning. It does not have to be a race to create the coolest firework within your body, or whatever disastrous thing someone may attempt.
I am also glad that you are repurposing your life, because that is what I wanted to relate to you earlier. Unfortunately, there is not time for everything. That is why I wrote the "Free Time" post to help people here. However, our path also necessitates certain sacrifices which may be counter to your other desires. This is described somewhat by Odin hanging on the tree, or the Hanging Man tarot card, with one interpretation of this being the sacrifices necessary for progress on our path.
Yet, these sacrifices are merely temporary pain for massive future prosperity, that is why we undertake them. You, too, will experience gains within your life due to your willingness to put as much effort into your spiritual growth as possible.
As a side note, please read this post for examples of ways to further aid your progress, if this may apply to you: https://www.ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?p=398567#p398567
Anyway, good luck to you. Keep this up and you will make the Gods very proud of you!
