what does “what are you into” mean?

....The phrase "What are you into" has only entered the English language in recent years.

Previously it would have been something like anyone of the following.

.......1.."What do you do for a living?"

.......2.."What are you interested in (referring to Games, hobbies ,sports,Etc.) in?"

.......3.."What do you do for a crust?"....

There are many others, but they all means the same thing, as in answer number 1.and 2

Avatars refer to a concept that is not any different at all from your "real" name as also only concept. This is a spiritual question because, in fact, there is nothing such as a You that exists. The You/Me/I which folks think they are is a linguistic convention for something that exists only in a dualistic consciousness. Importantly and ultimately, there is not a You and Your Life. There is not God except as your dualistic consciousness thinks one up. Knowing this or even just acting as if this were true changes behavior in a positive way. Thinking there is a God usually (not always) results in the worst kind of behavior because of the divisive delusion and ultimate arrogance it is based on. The practice of remembering and reminding one's "self" this is usually called religion in the broadest sense. Kshetra means a field of action and a holy place - sometimes site of a war - which affects consciousness in the way that physics describes reality. The World Trade Center Site in New York is one such Kshetra.
