The biggest downside of Vegas is that most of the girls are tourists so it's hard to set up dates and meet local girls. It's not like a normal city. Vegas is all about pulling same-night. Austin will be better if you are looking for girlfriends, dating, and learning how to game in a normal city. Vegas is best if you want to go hardcore beast-mode. To get the most out of Vegas you gotta be prepared to club hard from 11pm to 4am. Vegas is also way more expensive. Drinks here cost $20+/each. Club covers are regularly $100+/night. Parking $15+. Vegas is not cheap to be close to the club. Condos on the Strip are gonna cost you $3000+/mo. But you can also get by in Vegas as a cheapskate. There are ways to get around most of the fees as an experienced local. Austin nightlife ends around 2am, which is nice if you want to maintain a sane work schedule. In Vegas you will be going to sleep at sunrise. This is challenging for most people to swing. Vegas is the most hardcore training ground. Not for everyone. But if you want hardcore, nothing beats the kind of rampages you can do in Vegas. From April to October you can game here 7 days a week, from 11pm - 4am plus day clubs from 11am to 4pm. You can also game the Strip 24/7. Vegas can quickly burn you out. Austin nightlife is only good Thur-Sat. Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed sucks. Hotness and volume of girls in Vegas is unmatched. Girls here are also crazier and more wild. It's a higher energy game. The sex can be wilder. Threesomes, strippers, blowjobs in bathrooms, etc. Still.... Austin nightlife is amazing in its unique way. I still miss gaming in Austin. Oh the memories.... For the average guy, Austin is more than enough. But if you want worldclass level pickup and girls -- nothing beats Vegas. But you'll only get out of it what you put into it. It only makes sense to move to Vegas if you are going to invest serious time and energy into clubbing. It's harder to game in Vegas because you need more skills. The clubs are insanely distracting, the hottest girls are locked into tables, and you must become a master at dealing with logistics and closing. As a newbie you will get more success in Austin because you can set up dates. Forget about dating in Vegas. Miami is another option to consider. Amazing.

@something_else If you had plans for a date already, then perhaps you can still get her on a date. Keep trying

Of course it was killed. When a girl is inviting you over at 1am, you better close cause you will never hear from her again.

Stop feeding victim mentality and fear about flirting and dating.

Oneness

If your game is good, yes. Because it will make girls more defensive about coming home with you. But not always. You can certainly pull off heavy makeouts and close, but then you gotta be good at closing. Makeouts and heavy esclation in public kill the sexual tension and mystery. It becomes too obvious what comes next.

You're not going to embody max consciousness without reaching max consciousness. People are clueless about what max consciousness is, never-mind embodying it.

You can set up a date without calling it that. But given how hard you escalated and didn't close, it's likely she will not meet up with you again. Still, give it a try. If you do heavy escalation you must close. Burn it to the ground. Or, don't escalate so heavily. The best game does not involve heavy making out in public because this tends to make girls defensive. But if you're new, it's also good for you got get experience with make outs and heavy escalation. You must be able to do it effortlessly, but rarely deploy in public when running your best game.

There is potential for side effects with any medication. That's the nature of medicine. There are also side effects to Covid. The issue has always been the delta between the two risks, which is far in favor of vaccines.

I found this one illuminating about the state of mind of the kid, and also the parents' minds on gun-culture. MAGA parents buying their mentally disturbed 15 year old kid a handgun for Xmas That's freedumb MAGA gun culture. A tragically avoidable situation.

Not sure yet. Similar, just more clarity. I had some glimpses but nothing near the clarity I got later. No, just more total and clear.

I never said I don't meditate or do other spiritual practices. That's just not how I get my deepest understanding.

Being is good, but there is also an aspect where mind becomes infinite and comprehends itself. It's a sort of synthesis between Being and knowing/conceptualizing. Your conceptualizing becomes absolute in a sense. This is mostly only possible on psychedelics. The beauty of psychedelics is that they allow you to maintain your conceptualizing mind in a way that meditation does not allow. On a psychedelic you don't need to turn off the mind. This is a much-underappreciated thing. Too much mind is demonized in Buddhist and Advaita teachings.

No sourcing

That is simply not the focus of my work.

Maybe what you're calling enlightenment isn't it. Be careful assuming that the things you're experiencing are what others are talking about. There exist many strange and different states of consciousness, not all of them healthy. Consciousness should not be making you mentally ill.

That should be very effective. The goal is max consciousness. The good life comes after clear seeing. If you have more modest goals then don't let me get in your way.

Now the ultimate work begins: becoming the most conscious and loving embodiment of God in the universe. Omniscience is God. And God is Love. If by "you" you mean the human self, then that you's will is very limited. But if you're talking about the God-You -- the force that animates all of existence -- then you should realize that that force is identical to Your Will. God IS Infinite Will. Sounds like you are getting close. I have been questioning since I was 15 years old. Where else would a forum and people come from but your own mind? The entire internet exists in your Mind. If you became conscious enough, you could navigate the whole internet with your Mind -- since it is your Mind. All human technology is simply ways of overcoming the obstacles imagined within your own Mind that you have forgotten you imagined. An airplane is just a mental device to move you from one part of your Mind which got disconnected from another part of your Mind. If your Mind became fully united, the airplane would not be necessary any more. Therefore Omniscience = Omnipotence. But this is not a tool for the ego's survival. So don't get any dumb ideas.

@WelcometoReality The dictionary defines omniscience as: "The state of knowing everything." Of course the knowing I'm talking about is beyond verbal or logical, it's at an absolute being level. Reality has the capacity to know itself perfectly and completely.

That is some impressive analysis. However, in practice, the Marxist does a lot of "othering". So this theory is nice, but this is not how Marxists actually behave in the real world. Marxism has a ton of collective identity. To stop this othering dynamic would require some profound awakening, which Marxists don't even believe in.

It's crazy effective for me. I can't speak to what is effective for you. Only you can sort that out. But I also have a very strong sense of what is ineffective for most people. And that is meditation and Buddhism. Tell that to the Buddha. My life is not centered around awakening. My life is centered around deepening my Love. I experience such profound metaphysical Love that I cannot put it into words. And yet, my connection to Love has only just begun. I have discovered a Love that is so profound that it if I could only communicate it ever to one person, it would be worth a lifetime of work. And yet, there exists no one who I can share that Love with other than myself.

I dunno. On a psychedelic you can certainly just be thrust into it. But I doubt you will get very far unless you are relentless in your drive to understand. My greatest power has been a relentless thirst for understanding which refused to be satisfied by any spiritual teaching. None of the teachings satisfied me, which forced me to question everything so completely that finally I broke through to a complete omniscience and everything finally made sense. I notice that people settle for spiritual answers all to quickly and comfortably without a serious desire for total understanding. And this is why I think so few people reach God. The highest understand really does require that you question absolutely everything to death. Basically your desire/intent should be for complete omniscience. If you set that as your highest priority in life, at some point I think you'll get it. The whole point of my journey has been omniscience, not happiness, not liberation, not an escape from suffering, not Buddha-mind, not enlightenment, not any meditative state. And I just don't see that stressed much by other teachers. And what I discovered is that omniscience is the only thing worth wanting.

I can be conscious of God whenever I decide to put my attention on it. But of course I'm not in a peak infinite state in normal life.

It was not a joke. I'm not saying you guys should do it because some you are like children. But I have no problem gaming an obnoxiously loud club on DMT. But I also don't need it.

Telling a person that he understands when he clearly does not, is a disservice. There is big difference between knowing God and not. To blur this difference with nondual smartassery is not helpful.
