There is no good answer other than massive hardcore spiritual practices.

Why bring math into it? If reality is a dream I don't see how you will realize this through mathematics.

Of course I mean your entire life. There is only one dream. This is it. You are dreaming other dreams.

It's not a matter of luck, it's a matter of being disciplined enough to approach a lot and build up state. The catalyst is doing some ballsy approaches and getting some hard blow outs, and then keep going! Eventually you will enter a flow state and your verbals will become fire.

Absolute Truth What you're overlooking is that the dream is Absolute Truth. To not understand this is to be asleep and to understand this is to be awake.

I explain that for over 25hrs in my Life Purpose Course. And also in many of my free videos.

Of course scientists feign humility when cornered. That's all part of the devilry of science. The humility is just a facade for a profound intellectual arrogance. Scientists precisely claim that things cannot be known which can in fact be absolutely known. For example, I claim complete omniscience is possible. Scientists would never allow such a thing. This seems like humility but is actually arrogance. Just look at my interview with Curt Jaimungal. He epitemizes the way a sicentific mind gets lost in itself. All of science is a hallucination. Good luck getting any scientist to admit or understand that. Science is not self-aware. Agnosticism is no virtue. It is ignorance. Just because you are proud of being ignorant does not means you understand anything. Become omniscient. It is possible. After all, you are God, for fuck's sake

Sorry, but scopolamine is too dangerous to us to recommend people start using it here.

We'll I've made over a million dollars, I've attracted some really hot girls, I've lost 65 pounds, and many other practical things. But the most important gains were not material, they were in how I perceive myself and reality.

The chakra system is very popular in New Age circles. You can find books or videos on it if you want. Shunyamurti uses it a lot. I don't recall the IPEC model too well, so can't comment much on how it compared to SD. There are some loose similarities.

Go out and party with some friends/wings. Just party until you let loose and just enjoy being social. This is a deeper issue than attracting girls. You gotta train yourself to have fun. Which can be quite challenging if you've have been trained otherwise. Alcohol was invented precisely because it's hard for many people to let loose and have fun while sober. But it can be done. I don't recommend using alcohol as a crutch for this. I have never use alcohol and I can have a blast clubbing sober with a good wing.

That depends on what you want out of life. For me it was worth it, not because of the sex I got but because of how much stronger it made me as a man. To me that is priceless. The sex is a nice bonus. I don't recommend doing pickup for the sex.

Be careful projecting your own lack of seriousness onto others. Just because you enjoy mental masturbation does not mean that everyone is treating personal devlopment that way. Some people actually do the work rather than sitting around watching videos and daydreaming.

Pickup specifically requires 1000s of hours of practice. It is a very specific and unusual skill set.

Psychedelics are no different that any other thing that could awaken you. If you awaken via meditation that meditation too was part of the dream world.

I haven't used it much personally, but it's rather similar to other models like the chakra system, SD, or stages of ego development. It's helpful to have some kind of map of human development to work with, but also important to be aware of the artificial nature of all such maps. I don't talk about the IPEC model because it is their proprietary model which they want to own. Can it be useful? Yes

It's best not to waste time trying to explain yourself to closeminded people. Just focus on doing the work you know you need to do, and move away from people who are closedminded and bring you down as soon as you can. Surround yourself with positive people who are into personal development and spirituality. People who appreciate the work you're doing. Your family can be one of the biggest things to hold you back. You must move out and become independent as soon as possible so that you are not beholden to then and don't have to obey their limited notions of life. In the meantime, just focus as much as you can on growing yourself. Much of the work is internal so no one has to know you're doing it.

It will take way more work than you expected. But the reward will also be greater than you expected. Yup Oh yeah. The average person cannot fathom how much work it takes to get good at pickup for a hard case newbie. It's like climbing mount Everest. This is why few people get good at it. Most people are just way too lazy and take socialization and dating for granted. They want it to be effortless. If you are deeply introverted it will be a serious challenge because it goes against the grain of how your psyche is structured.

Just stop taking things so seriously. Be playful.

You don't need to act like a douche. You can just go out and talk to girls and be friendly with them and that will be enough to grow you massively and break you out of your shell. There's no need to be an asshole, just don't supplicate to people. Be grounded in your values and your life purpose. Sticking to your principles is enough to not be a people-pleaser. And you can do that while still being friendly and decent. You don't need to be obnoxious about it. For example, if you don't value drinking and a girl offers you a drink, just say, "No thanks, I prefer to not dull my mind with that." rather than telling her, "Fuck you bitch! Drinking is for losers." Notice that you don't have to be obnoxious to stand your ground or speak your mind.

Technology tends to help everyone in the end. For example, StarLink internet does not compete with fiber, it predominately serves rural areas which lack fiber connections. Just because something is technocratic and capitalistic doesn't mean it doesn't serve mankind or little people. Electric cars are also necessary for the future.

Then don't expect results with girls. Expect random adventures and nothing concrete. Of course it's forced. You're training and learning. That's like saying going to school to learn math is forced. YES! Do you want to learn math or not? If not, then go to the park and have fun. You have to be ready to drop your friends and go with the girl when she hooks. The best way to develop your game and get results with girls is: 1) go solo and be focused on girls like a sniper, or 2) go with 1 solid wingman and focus on 2-sets which you two are aiming to pull. Keep the fun to a minimum so you can keep your focus on the girls. Just going out and having fun with friends will not get you good results with girls nor will it develop your game much. If you want to learn game you gotta be methodical and surgical about it. You're out to learn game. That is your goal, if that's your goal. If your goal is to have fun then just do that and forget about results. Just get clear with yourself what you want. There is no right or wrong per se. You can also have one night per week where you go out purely to have fun. And the rest of the nights you focus 100% on building your game. In the end you'll find that you don't need to have fun more than once a week. Maybe even once a month of pure fun and partying is enough. It will get old quickly. How many nights can you party with friends before it gets old?

This is why you aren't not getting results. Nothing surprising here. It's like you're listening to people talking about doing push-ups but you never do any push-ups. Of course then you won't get results. If you don't enjoy self-improvement then maybe stop reading/listening/watching about it and go do whatever you enjoy. People who are into self-help have a passion for self-help itself even more so than its fruits. If all you want is the fruits but you don't enjoy the process and don't want to do it, then yeah, it will be a grind. Personal development is not a scam. You can evolve yourself a lot in many ways.

You have to understand that Shunya has an extremely anti-civilization POV. He is basically counting the days until civilization collapses. He really believes a collapse is about to happen. This is a central part of his teachings and I totally disagree with him on that. He has basically placed his bet on nuclear war. He does not think current civilization can be saved. So he interprets all current and political events through that lens. I don't think this view is healthy or responsible to teach to students.

You need to get clear on why you go out. Is it to have fun or to get girls? Those are two different things. I'd bet it would have been your #1 night out if you had successfully closed.
