Nice try, but he still has no clue what Mind or consciousness is. He's still a materialist at heart. His app may be helpful regardless of his metaphysical delusions. A person does not need to be perfect to be of value to you.

Bullshit The best guys who go out constantly only sleep with maybe 30 girls per year. 30/year would be master pro level. And to get those 30 they approach 1000+

Of course it's more difficult in Saudi Arabia We have that problem here too. It's difficult in the US too. Of course not as bad a Saudi Arabia. But still not easy. Yes, 3rd world countries are more difficult. But not impossible. Do the best you can with what you got.

@Beeflamb Life purpose course

A proud fool. Well, there are many degrees of doing that. How deep will you do it is the question. A few glimpses is not enough.

I ain't finished yet.

Be wary of taking compound supplements which contain dozens of ingredients. Each extra ingredient could cause complications and you will never know what caused what. If you're going to combine stuff, combine it manually one combo at a time. Test it, and validate that it isn't generating problems. This should be a gradual, methodical, scientific-like approach. In general I am very leery of nootropic supplements which claim to be all-inclusive with dozens of ingredients. Just buy each one separately. It will be way cheaper too.

Your intuition is correct. He's got a limited perspective of such things. That's overly reductionistic. Visions can communicate Truth as much as anything else. In fact, cultivating vision is a huge part of this work. But of course, visions can also be self-deceptive. So you cannot blindly just trust your visions -- that would delusional. - - - - - - Nuance, nuance, nuance!

@Endangered-EGO Only consciousness can awaken. CONSCIOUS suffering is what awakens. If suffering alone could awaken, everyone on the planet would be long awake. This is why we invest years into spiritual work, so that when life turns sour, we are prepared. It is too late to hope for awakening once you find yourself in a shitty situation. This is like the squirrel who didn't prepare for winter. If you didn't prepare for winter, once winter is here, there will be no salvation. You misunderstand asceticism. Asceticism is not about suffering, it's about intense consciousness. Any suffering along the way is just a side-effect.

@Onecirrus Pursue what you love the most and that will lead you to God. I suggest you transform your spiritual pursuits from a negative way into a positive way. The negative way is trying to escape suffering. The positive way is simply pursuing greater and greater love.

If you stop being selfish for just one minute you will realize that the Truth does not care about your ability to fuck. The only one you will ever fuck in your life is yourself. You can't have sex with a coffee table simply because you are a selfish bastard who is too biased to think straight. "But Leo, if you take away all my illusions how will I survive?" You won't. You'll die. Welcome to Truth.

In practice the way you solve this problem is by: A) Talking to more girls B) Working on your LP so your mind is focused on larger things C) Jerking off so you are not desperate

No one is just going to reward your life purpose for you automagically, not even in best countries. You have to carve out your own niche in the marketplace. You have to be strategic about bootstrapping your passion. You may have to do some grindy work before you can reach a point where your passion is monetizable.

You suffer until you learn your lesson and move on. Suffering is the best teacher. If you are wise you will not get invested in any one girl until you sleep with her. In which case you just talk to other girls and don't even think much about the phone numbers you get. The rule this: don't invest in her at all until she's interested in sleeping with you. It's crucial that you stop daydreaming and fantasizing about the girls you approach, and even if you get her number. Just don't think about her. Only think about her enough to set up a date. But no more! Don't start imagining that this date will lead to anything.

They are as real as anything else you know. Just because something is imaginary does not mean you should lose interest or joy in interacting with it. This is a silly assumption. You read a novel and enjoy it knowing it's fiction. Life becomes MORE enjoyable when you realize it's all imaginary. This is what you guys are not getting. The desire for life to be "real" is just stupid. It's a game, and that is best.

Yeah, well, get used to seeing more scientists opening up to the nondual paradigm and to mysticism. Over the next 200 years science and mysticism will converge. It will be a slow process but it will happen. P.S. Hoffman still does not understand what reality is. He's getting closer, but still far away.

The same way you always have. You could die at any second. Yet you still made plans in your life. Yes Survival demands it. Of course belief is useful. Belief is commonly used because that's what is required for survival. Survival requires some bullshittery to get things rolling smoothly. Welcome to life, where bullshit is the fuel. Don't try to be so pure and holy that you refuse to wrestle in the mud. Survival is wrestling with pigs in the mud. If you don't like that, you're always free to stop surviving.

@asifarahim You probably need to first address your loneliness by actually socializing and building relationships before you are ready to tackle loneliness at the existential level. Handle the basics before you embark on some Buddha quest.

Depends... What is normal for you? It doesn't not make sense that mushrooms would make you fall asleep or not comprehend speech. Anxiety, sure a bit of anxiety might arise from psychedelic use. I wouldn't panic over this just yet. Give it another week to stabilize. Do you have a history of mental illness or disorders? Psychedelics don't damage consciousness. Especially not at such low doses from a single trip. It sounds like you are just psyching yourself out with negative thinking.

Yup, that's usually how it works. Success is defined by you. Whatever it means to you is what it is. It's not so hard to imagine a stage Turquoise CEO. There's no contradiction. Achievement, mastery, success are all valid and important factors in constructing a good life for yourself. Achievement is not about achieving what society wants of you, it's about achieving your own dreams and values, whatever those are. Achievement does not have to mean money or materialistic things. It could be that, or it could be spiritual or artistic achievement.

There are certainly many cases where tumors were healed and disappeared simply through changing diet and other such natural remedies. But that does not mean you should bet on it working. It's not some 100% guaranteed solution. People can have very different immune systems. You gotta do lots of research into holistic medicine/healing and carefully test stuff out with a skeptical attitude. And if all that fails, you go for the surgery or traditional approach. Buy lots of books, do lots of research. This is step #1. As you do that, you will discover many things you can try. You will also learn about traps and dangers.

@Vision Reality and illusion are identical. You are dreaming. Enjoy the dream. Dream whatever dream you want. There is nothing outside the dream so don't wait for anything better or realer. This is it.

You are conflating absolute and relative notions. I would not like to get kicked in the nuts, but that does not change the fact that a kick in the nuts is imaginary. If it is a guy, then obviously the notion of it being a girl has not been dispelled.

For the same reason that lunch makes you feel satisfied and fulfilled. Don't overlook the point that there's nothing but illusions. When illusions are all you have, the fact that it's an illusion makes little difference to your mind. An imaginary blowjob is just as good as a real one when real ones don't exist
