You are not infinitely conscious. I guarantee it.

I've never said I have multiple girlfriends. You imagined that.

But that is a difficult achievement. Most people experience various mystical states of consciousness long before they achieve that. And even this thing you call "collapse of ego into pure non-dual state" is not a singular thing. There are many varieties of that. It's all way more complicated than people want to believe.

They aren't the same, but share similarities. There are hundreds of different states of awakened consciousness. So you're rolling the dice as to which one you get. Not all enlightened people have the same state either. Some have radically alien and different states and levels of consciousness. There really is no such thing as "enlightenment" as a singular thing. There are thousands of different off-shoots of it which are very challenging to understand and map because you'd have to experience them all and you basically can't.

Personally I'm doing a 14 day water fast. I'll talk about it on my blog soon. You should do stool, blood, and breath tests to accurately diagnose your condition. Once you know what exactly is the problem, then you can begin treatments. If you know for sure you have SIBO you must definitely go Low FODMAP or even No FODMAP. And you can try herbal antibiotics. If those don't help, you can try rifaximine prescription antibiotic. If that doesn't work, 14 day water fast.

Some people can tolerate it. Many cannot. There's nothing really good about it. It's basically empty calories and toxins. Wheat has a lot of pesticides in it and it is poorly digested by the gut because it was been so over-bred to be pest-resistant. The thing is, if you are young, you will feel like nothing can hurt you regardless of what shit you eat. Then, as you age it all catches up to you. When I was young I could eat wheat and drink 3 cokes a day without worries. Today I am paying for it. Optimizing your diet requires a very long-term view: decades. If you only consider how it makes you feed today, you will eat a lot of shit and still feel okay.

The devil's laughter is God's laughter. You pursue sexuality not irrationally, but for Love.

This is irrelevant. Even if Dems won every election, the situation would still be relative. Most Dems are pretty conservative relative to Europe and stage Yellow/Turquoise possibilities. Today's worst conservatives are still liberals compared to the Confederate plantation owners. See, 150 years ago, someone like Ben Shapiro would defend slave ownership as passionately as he defends his views today. So relatively speaking, Ben Shapiro is a crazy liberal today. And Islamists in the Middle East believe that all Americans, including the conservatives, are crazy liberals. In the Saudi Arabia Ben Shapiro might be executed for being too liberal and too tolerant.

@Preety_India Well, if you have a brain disorder, the most important move would be to cure that first. Otherwise you are fundamentally limited. Aside from that, the best way to learn writing is to pick a couple of your favorite authors -- whose writing style and articulation you most admire and aspire to be like -- and read their books sentence by sentence and start writing it out sentence by sentence to learn the structure. Then try writing out your own original sentences in that style. If you do that patiently and diligently you will adopt their writing style. You can combine multiple authors together into some original combination so that you don't come off as a copycat. It's actually a very simple process. Just a bit tedious.

No high consciousness person would be allowed within 100 miles of Washington DC. We barely were able to elect Biden, and you are complaining about high consciousness people not being there. You were born 200 years too early for that. Even the idea that someone like me could be elected already shows a deep flaw in your understanding of how these systems work. I have a better chance jumping to the moon with a pogo stick.

What kind of fish does a non-non-dualist order at the fish monger? A tuna

@Hulia Not a topic I care to get into.

@Origins Dude, enough derailing this thread with nonsense.

Then again, if Obama the Muslim Kenyan was eligible, then surely I am too It doesn't seem to stop Ted Cruz who was born in fucking Canada.

@mandyjw You can buy one of those fake comedy store glasses-nose-mustache gags and wear it for a day. It will help the awakening process

I've made my points. I'm done here. My only real point is this: notice your self-biases. This applies to men and women. That is all. That's all these threads boil down to. If you ladies wish to start threads about how to build intimacy and a conscious relationship, go for it! I'm sure guys will benefit from it too. But be mindful of this important difference: you taking responsibility for building inimitacy vs putting that responsibility on guys. If you are the one doing personal development the responsibility falls on you. This is true for girls and guys alike. I would much rather see threads in this sub-forum about how to proactively do stuff rather than these pointless gender wars. Start a mega-thread on how to build intimacy and start loading it up with actual content rather than debating in circles about who's farts stick more. Honestly, I'm sick of these gender wars. They are not constructive.

Yes, there can be some love and consciousness. I have no problem with "feminine containment". I encourage guys to do that. But doing that requires the guy become stronger and more grounded in himself. Less of a nice guy. Which is how this whole debate got fired up. Yes, you may be right. I have my biases and my experience with pickup certainly gave me a certain highly pragmatic and realistic POV. It's a bit like being a solider who comes home from Vietnam. He has a very stark view of the brutality of that kind of game. When one does a lot of Game A, one starts to see Game B as unrealistic. I can flip that back around on you. Why would a women be interested in confidence and intimacy if she doesn't want kids? Why have sex at all with condoms or birth control? It's both. It can be a justification for guys to be assholes sometimes. But it's also true that women are attracted to that kind of behavior. So it's hairy. I have sex very rarely. I invest most of my energy into my work, my contemplations, and my awakenings. So be careful what you assume. Few men in my position have sacrificed as much sex as I have for a higher cause. Do I like a hot girl over the opposite? Of course. Any guy does. Notice how you dismiss the male's natural attraction, as if there is something wrong or shallow about it. An enlightened master will still enjoy some big tits. Consciousness does not mean you start blowing homeless people under the bridge. You still have standards and preferences. You got yours, and I got mine. The difference is, you try to make me feel bad about mine whereas I don't try to make you feel bad about yours. If you want love and intimacy with a guy, great! That's your agenda. If you were a man, you would be here typing as most of the men do. Recognize that. Love, consciousness, and intimacy are also important for men, but physical attractiveness is a higher priority for many men. That does not mean intimacy never happens -- which is how many of you ladies interpret it. It still happens. Men are not single-minded. Just because we like big tits does not mean we don't also like companionship and intimacy and relationship. Just like how you like humor, that doesn't mean you will only have sex with comedians and there will be no intimacy or anything else. You like humor + confidence + strength + muscles + leadership skills + intimacy + financial security + passion + consciousness + etc. It's actually worse than you think. Both men and women want the FULL package. Nobody is fooled by a single good trait. One good trait ain't good enough. That's like going to buy a car and only caring about the wheels. Buying a car is a complex holistic decision. Likewise with finding a mate. The thing you ladies don't get about intimacy is: intimacy is easy! Intimacy can be built with literally any bum on the street -- if you really wanted to. But of course you would never do that. For a man, prioritizing intimacy is not important because it will automatically happen regardless of what girl we choose. No matter what girl I end up choosing, I know that I will build crazy deep intimacy with her. Hence I don't even need to consider this factor when choosing a girl. So I screen based on other factors that I care about. Now, many guys have intimacy problems. So I highly encourage them to work that out and go for deep intimacy with the girl of their choice. Nothing I say is anti-intimacy or deep relationship. Lol You took my point a bit too literally. My point still stands. You just have to be intelligent about how to apply it. Visit a quality paid porn site, not some freebie porn sewer full of sexual deviants and degenerates watching homeless people fuck.

@mandyjw Look in the mirror. He is you.

I would certainly not go for it. P.S. I'm not even eligible to be President. Precisely because someone like me is needs to educate people before Conscious Politics can become a thing. Being in politics is not aligned with my LP. Yes, but not me. No, I would have no interest in lobbiest money. Or making friends. Because I have bigger fish to fry. The Presidency is too small for me. Seriously. Only a fool would trade the Presidency of the Universe for Presidency of the USA. My aim is Infinity, not finite human bullshit.

Of course! Devilry has good cause, otherwise it would not exist.

I never said it was. It is A factor. The human body is incredibly complex and there is never one single factor for anything. There are hundreds of factors.

No, she found them funny. A lot of times the power of an obnoxious joke is not that she finds it funny per se, but what is sub-communicates about the guy. If a guy can spew off obnoxious jokes while having fun, smiling, not giving a fuck, and owning the whole room -- that is an honest signal of strength that women love and crave. Being a boss is more powerful than making her laugh. But you have to pull it off very congruently. You have to be on fire when you do it. If you try to do this as a creepy, shy, beta male, she might call the cops on you. It requires a very fine balance that can only be developed through massive experience and trial and error. There have been plenty of times when I bombed with an obnoxious joke. Like bombed so bad that she might call security or ask her guy friends to bounce me. That certainly can happen. Some girls are shy and will just listen and watch without saying much, but she is still getting attracted below the surface. She does not need to be talkative to get attracted.

Isn't that obvious? What guy actually likes those toothpick tomboy fashion models? They are good for some avant-garde pretentious art shows, but they are not what the average guy wants to nail. If you want to know what average guys find hot and high-value, go to a porn site with user voting and search for 5-star rated videos. There you go. Not much mystery to it. What guys like is very obvious. The problem is that women really dislike knowing what guys like because most of them ain't it And hey, I get that. If I was a woman I wouldn't like it either. I would think its "gross" and shallow. Women just want to be loved regardless of their looks. Unfortunately that's not how most men work.

Yes And it would be great if we lived in a world without nukes. But we are stuck with nukes for the time being and it would be foolish for any one country to fully disarm. Game B is a great ideal. Unfortunately is barely exists in today's world and it is unrealistic to expect it. You are free to play Game B if you want, but don't be surprised when most people are playing Game A as you play Game B. This is what keeps Game B from being commonplace. We are stuck in a precarious survival situation, an arms race. It is helpful to appreciate and accept that. That, in fact, is a necessary part of escaping Game A. It is sort of like you are saying: "Go ahead and disarm all your nukes. You don't need them. Look, I've disarmed all of mine." But in fact you have not disarmed all of yours. And we are wise to this. You got a nuke in your back pocket. You clever devil

Even if I grant you that (which I don't, because in fact your ego cannot handle the raw truth of such things as you believe), the reality is that most women cannot handle the raw truth of it, so games will be played. You are not one woman in the world. You are part of 4 billion other women, and men's dating strategies will not revolve around your exceptional case but around how average women react. And average women react very poorly to truth about male attraction. You yourself reacted poorly to it earlier in this thread by calling it "gross". When you call a man's deepest desires "gross", can you really blame him for not being truthful about it with you any more? Men would love nothing more than to be honest about their desires for women and not play games. But life has taught men never to be so foolish or naive. Being honest and direct hurts men's survival. Which is why they are not honest or direct. The reality is that most women require plausible deniability and anti-slut narratives in order to sleep with a man. Hence games are played. If a man walks up to a woman in front of all her friends and say, "I like you. Let's go fuck." and she says, "Yes" she will forever be disgraced and excommunicated from her social circle. Which for a woman is about as bad as death. So she is forced to say, "I'm not that kind of girl", even though she wants to fuck him. And hence game is born.
