That's life. It's you vs your mind.

@Daniel Balan Why is dominating and marginalizing minorities false?

By modern standards, of course. This ain't no start the game as Dragon Born.

Better than feeling like an asshole for posting it We have ladies here. Let's not creep them out by acting like thirsty dogs. Stay classy.

@Daniel Balan Nazism is delusion. It is not grounded in reality. Just because it is attractive does not make it true. It is largely fantasy. Nazism always fails. It always dies. Why? Think harder. Consider this: everything that dies is somehow false. Make a list of every delusional belief held by Nazis.

You don't understand why Nazism is false? Come on man. Sit down and contemplate why Nazis are false. And as you do that you will have your answer what falsehood is.

My blog post is self-explanatory. I think you are somewhat wrapped up in your own view and agenda. But if you drop that for a minute while reading the post, what I wrote will make sense on its own. Contemplate what point the post was written to make.

Unless you are a horny stallion of Eros.

I challenge you to invent a new concept or word related to our work here. Anything related to self-actualization, consciousness work, spirituality, politics, philosophy, psychology, mind, psychedelics. Example: Leftsplaining Example: Epistemic Scoundrel Rules: Come up with a catchy, memorable name for it. Define what your word means and what it does not mean. Give a few examples of how the word can be used. Explain why this new concept is meaningful, important, or useful. Be creative. I will feature any excellent submissions on my blog, with credit.

That's the nature of narcissistic entitlement and self-absorption. It feels it deserves it and nothing is wrong, but is then shocked to discover that others don't share that bias. One of the most profound things that Jordan Peterson has ever said is this: The narcissist wants the fruit of hard work without doing any of it. We can extend that to say that the spiritual narcissist wants the fruit of self-annihilation without actually annihilating the self. Wants the adoration of Jesus/Buddha without doing what Jesus/Buddha did.

I updated my book list with 59 new amazing books. This is the biggest update ever. This is like the 8th or 9th free update. None of the reviews of the books is complete. This is only a list of the books' titles, for those who want to get a head start on reading them. I did it this way because people were asking me to. You can find the list if you purchased the Book Reviews product, by logging into your account, clicking on My Account >> Book Reviews. You'll find the list in the middle of the 1st page. I will add reviews for all the books in the coming months. Note: Most of these books are not focused on personal development nor spirituality. These books are for developing a deep understanding of political science, society, government, history, human corruption and evil. Warning: reading these books may blackpill you. Nearly all of the books are available as audio books via Audible for convenient listening. Audio books are linked when available. If you read these books you will develop a profound understanding of political science. These books are about understanding how society functions.

That never helped me. What helped me is to just remember to literally stop the mind from thinking when I'm out.

Legs don't tremble, the mind does.

Go on more dates.

Aubrey talking about how much he wants a 20 year old version of Vylana 2 years ago. Then he finds Alana who looks exactly like 20 year old Vylana.

I can personally attest, psychedelics for romantic relationships can be very self-deceptive and delusional. Psychedelics mixed with romantic love and lust can produce delusional fantasies about your future. You will get fantasies about any girl you're with being your soul mate when she isn't. Relationships require grounded, sober, clear-eyed assessment, not New Age positivity. That positivity is not sustainable. Dealing with people is always a pain in the ass in the long-run because their survival agenda clashes with yours. Eventually Alana will stop being a doormat for Aubrey and grow her own agenda. When that happens it will shatter Aubrey's fantasy. Aubrey loves Alana because she is too naive to question or challenge him yet.

@LoneWonderer I would rather leave it up to your interpretation. Thanks

The key is to shut off your mind and just approach people. Don't sit around ruminating. Let your legs walk you towards people. Then let your mouth do the talking without any thinking. Thinking is the enemy.

It's more like Classic flavor Farmboy fantasy. You're basically cosplaying as a farmer. Stardew Valley for people without computers.

No interest in shredding. Just truth.

Stretching yourself to get into lotus does not mean your knees will be saved. Those are distinct issues. Knees are not designed for lotus. People do it out of conformity -- like most things. You don't want to screw up your knees into old age.

Yes. This reveals the core problem with New Age spirituality: it still involves a lot of illusion because survival is not being deconstructed, instead a spiritual-flavored self is constructed. The self will avoid deconstruction by any means imaginable. And Aubrey is very imaginative. Maya is ingenious! This is why genuine spirituality requires such rigor, because the self will exploit any wiggle room to escape and run amok. That's why monks are traditionally so strict. But strict isn't fun and glamorous. And Aubrey wants fun and glamorous.

I figured out that the reason they were pushing this idea of "Radical Monogamy" is because Aubrey and Vylana have sold a course in the past about how to do divine union and monogamy. So they need to rationalize that they are still doing monogamy, otherwise that course and all the people who bought it will feel like a fraud. Aubrey put himself into a corner when he publicly told everyone that he rejected polyamory for monogamy when he married Vylana. And now he needs to reverse course but he needs it seems like his craving for sex didn't really cause him to reverse course. Hence "Radical Monogamy" and hence Marc Gafni there to coach him through the mental gymnastics of that reversal. This is a beaitful example of the insane craftiness of self-deception.

Yeah, it's hard to find. You gotta do some deep searching. Owen Cook's HotSeat is one paid example but there are many others. Honest Signalz Youtube Channel is very good, if it still exists. PickupAlpha.com used to have awesome in-field but he might have taken them down. Not sure. A lot of in-field gets taken down due to legal issues and controversy. But it is worth its weight in gold.

I added two more books to the book list. One of them is actually the most important book on this list which I totally forgot about. I added it to the top of the list.
