@Rishabh R You can test her by dropping some vague signs of sexual intent. When you interact with women, it should be clear to them that you want them in a sexual way. You are failing at sexual intent. Sexual intent can be communicated without being explicitly sexual. You can drop subtle hints to her by saying stuff like: "I want to squeeze you like a ripe fruit" "I'm going to bite you" "You've been a bad girl" "You're giving me impure thoughts" "Hey baby" "Get your butt over here" "I want to cuddle you so hard right now" "I want to pet you" You should be saying stuff like that from day 1. Stop talking to her like you're her dickless friend.

I wanted to post "Now don't screw it up" in your first thread, but didn't want to come off negative. Haha

Of course. Addicts cannot be trusted because they cannot even trust themselves. They have self-control problems, which means they are inherently unreliable. Reliable people don't become addicts in the first place. Sorry to hear of your family problems.

Absolutely not. You completely missed what I was pointing to. Stop imagining that Consciousness has a brain. This is fucking you up. I am not talking about thinking or memory. I am talking about Consciousness. Although thinking and Consciousness are not mutually exclusive. You can do both at the same time. Or not.

Unlikely but probably possible for exceptional people.

My first memory was me alone late at night in my crib as a baby. But that was before I had a self or even a world. Just darkness. I became self-aware at a specific moment in pre-school when I looked down at my body, my hands, and I realized this was Me.

4-5 for me.

@Entrepreneur Do you remember the first time in your life when you realized you are alive, that you exist? You lived for years before you became conscious that you exist. That was a moment of higher consciousness. Notice that most of the day you are not conscious that you exist. You just do stuff unconsciously on auto-pilot. Occassionally you stop and notice you exist. Awakening is like that, but 100x more potent. Notice you are less conscious when you are tired, sleepy, or feeling strong negative emotions like anger. Higher consciousness is hyper sobriety and awareness of your own existence. Normies are like drunk by comparison to an Awake person. If you just sit silently and train your attention on the fact that you exist, your consciousness increases gradually.

No, I believed it could work. I paid money in the hope that it would work. I needed it to work. Yes, epistemic rigor closes the mind to certain things, like fantasy and falsehood. I am not saying healing is impossible. But most people who claim it are surely self-deceived. You should be skeptical of such people until they demonstrate otherwise. It's way too easy to claim you healed people when you didn't, they just improved on their own. Spiritual people claim credit for healings they didn't actually cause but deluded themselves into thinking they caused. I know for a fact they do this.

They are each so potent it doesn't make sense to combine them. By the time you are high on one, taking the other becomes a moot dream. And dosing such a powerful chemical while you are already high is dangerous. You are likely to overshoot because you will be too high to be careful. This is a recipe for danger.

It is bad relative to thinking independently. However, thinking independently is very hard and you don't have time to think through everything from scratch for yourself. So group-think is a way of dealing with the insane vastness of mindspace. It has its pros ans cons. You could think yourself into something even worse than the normie worldview if you aren't careful. Group-think is like living in a herd. It is generally safe, but the herd will sometimes all run off a cliff together.

Because it is part of Hindu culture, tradition, and group-think. The exaggeration is baked into the culture and he is repeating things he's heard since he was a child. You don't need to be a liar to spread fantasy and belief.

I don't know how to answer that. I don't think in terms of those categories and your framing of the issue is quite vague. "Solving a problem" could mean so many things.

I will investigate this matter. Please be patient.

You live!
