Your head is also imaginary

And you will be until after some deep awakening. You must awaken deeper. I'm just following my passions. It's not some obligation. I do this because I enjoy it.

Perspective is a relative notion. It does not exist at the absolute level. Consciousness is not a 1st person perspective. That is the ego's illusion. Consciousness is Absolute Infinity.

There is a further wrinkle here. Since imagination is reality, you could say that by imagining others you make them "real". In a relative sense. You literally create others in the way you create rocks and cars. So.... if you want to play life like others are real, you can. Nothing is really taken away from you. You can dive into and out of the illusion and enjoy it from both angles. It's like a video game. It doesn't have to be "real" to be fun. Enjoy the game as a game. Don't take it too seriously.

Not all the time. The illusion of helping you is still powerful and sticky. But you have to consider that there's literally nothing better to do. Anything you do is equally pointless, so you might as well help people out and follow your passions. People will act nicer towards you and the world will be a nicer place to live. Remember, selfishness still causes suffering. So living your life selfishly will not feel so good for you even if you are the only one in the Universe. If you rape someone, you will still go to jail.

@Hardkill It's basically a classic pump-and-dump scheme but under the guise of nobly fighting the elites. The people who bought stock towards the second half of the upswing are all gonna lose money. And then they will justify it to themselves as: "Well, it was for a good cause. At least we fucked those Wall Street elite." GameStop and AMC are likely doomed companies that will crash and burn no matter how much you pump or hype them up. These stocks were in the dumps for good reason -- they don't have a bright future. It's sort of like you're taking a homeless man on the street and saying, "Let's give this poor guy a bunch of money!" And so you gather a thousand of your friends and pool together $10 million to give this homeless guy. And what does he do with it? He goes to Vegas and loses it all on the roulette table. Because he wasn't homeless by accident, he was homeless because he's utterly irresponsible and mentally challenged.

Other = Self Everything is you. You are telling you to wake up. Before you entered the dream you left yourself clues so you could awaken from the dream. You dream that I am awake so that you could awaken yourself. If you didn't think I was awake, how could you follow my words to awaken yourself? Before you can awaken you first have to create the fiction that others awoke before you. Yup You want "others" to awaken as a distraction from waking up yourself, haha If you really cared about awakening you would stop concerning yourself with the unwokeness of others. Can you see how good a distraction it is to complain about how others are not woke? This is a trap the ego creates for itself because it is to scared to awaken. One of the biggest mindfucks of awakening is that once you're fully awake you realize there is literally nobody else to help or save. There is no reason to be a teacher or guru. The teacher or guru role is itself a bullshit illusion. One of the biggest traps in this work is the fantasy that you will become this great teacher and savior of mankind. Well, that turns out to be an illusion the ego imagined in order to feel a sense of purpose and meaning. The reality is that you awaken and then that's it. There's nothing left to do. There is no one to save, nothing to fix.

So befriend them or start your own parties. Stop making excuses. Do what is required to get results. Look man, you are not the first man alive picking up girls on campus. Guys do it all the time. Figure out how. Maybe even watch some videos of guys doing it. You can chat up girls simply in classes, hallways, and lecture halls. You can go to social events on campus. So many social events, networking events, sports events, study groups, gym, yoga, park, etc. You don't need to hit on them hard. You can start off by just being very social. Socialization is like 80% of pickup. Do pickup outside the bars/clubs on the streets. Or just wait a bit. By the time Covid ends you'll be 21 and ready for action. Have some patience. Your life has barely begun and you are acting like you're 65 years old. Find cute girls in class. Sit next to them. Chat them up. Grab their numbers. Invite them to social events. If you are clever, you can get access to frat parties by befriending a few hot girls and then telling the frat guys that if they invite you to their party, you will bring 3 hot girls and they will each bring 2 friends. The guys will love you and will want you at all of their parties. Build a contact list of 10 to 20 girls who you are not dating or fucking, but are "just friends" for purposes of party invites. Stop being lazy and uncreative about this.

You're confusing things. What I said does not in any way preclude the paranormal. If you see a yogi levitating, that's all fine and good. It's still happening within your bubble of experience. Likewise with any other paranormal phenomenon such as astral travel, telepathy, auras, angels, DMT entities, aliens, channeling, spirit realms, hell realms, clairvoyance, UFOs, mothman whatever. You are right, there is no difference between the normal and the paranormal other than social convention and definition of terms. Look at it this way: your fridge is imaginary, but that does not prevent you from going in your kitchen, opening the fridge, and exploring its contents. Likewise with the paranormal. If you meet an alien, angel, or deity -- they will still be you talking to yourself. You are correct that there is more to what consciousness can do, or what it can imagine, than just the conventional material world. Consciousness can imagine twisted hyperbolic geometry worlds full of aliens and angels and whatever else. But all of that will still always be your own Mind. There is no limit at all to what consciousness can imagine. And it can imagine some insane stuff that you would not believe. So while I'm saying your current experience is all there is, that does not mean your current experience cannot radically change. It can and it will -- and there is worthwhile stuff to explore. By all means take a rocket ship to Mars, if you dare. You will discover cool and useful stuff. Or if you really want a mindfuck, smoke some salvia.

It if don't make your jaw drop and make you say, "HOLY FUCK NO!", it can't be Truth. Truth is exactly the last thing you think it could be.

You should be at all those parties stealing their girls! You ain't gonna get girls sitting at home. Party time! But be sober. Lol Dude, those are like the only approaches I pretty much do: busy girls. Deal with it. I've approached girls talking on their phone with their mother, and slept with them. You make too many excuses. A) Make your approaches subtle and indirect B) Practice high-volume approaching at the mall or bar/club to hone your skills

Haha! Sometimes an idea is so radical you know it must be true

We'll there are many degrees of force, you could say. Most force these days is not physical. Sometimes a simple law is enough to stop a devil. Not all devils, but many. This is very problematic since the definitions of "unfit" will be subjective, biased, partisan, and corrupted. Majority of Republicans would have admitted Trump as "fit" back in 2016. They would still probably call him "fit" even today! So that wouldn't solve the problem. Sounds like a terrible idea since Congress is the problem. You can find plenty of terrible politicians who will pass that screen. For example, Ted Cruz or Josh Hawley. Many dumb right-wingers are well-educated lawyers. Like Rudy Guiliani. Education does not get rid of self-bias or ideology. Really what you'd want for incoming politicians is a consciousness/wisdom/empathy test. If they can't score at least 90%, their name won't go on the ballot. A politician should have to prove their consciousness/wisdom/empathy to the people before they can run. But this cannot work unless the people themselves have consciousness/wisdom/empathy. So here we are

Anyone who relies on claims of high IQ isn't very smart Don't judge a person's IQ, look at the merit of their ideas stripped of any humanness.

Be careful what you wish for. Salvia

It's not a big deal. Keep your eye on the ball: becoming a massive value provider and your LP. You will make the money back. Learning to let things go is one of the most important skills in life. So consider this money well spent. If you can let go of $2000, that's worth more than $2000. Imagine how good it feels to let go of $25,000 And then imagine how good it feels to let go of your life

Yes You definitely don't want to attack and judge religious people or they get defensive. I don't attack religion. But in the end, if I'm talking to a mature person, we can agree religion is cosplay.

Hence you're not God-realized and why we're having this conversation. If you saw it, it would be so clear that you wouldn't ask me any more questions. No there couldn't. But you are not conscious enough to see this. It possible to know for sure. That's what God-realization is. Of course you can't, since you're not God-realized yet. Don't guess. Test everything I say and find what is true. No, you don't get how deep this goes. "Human experience" is already a story. Without a story "human experience" would be radically recontextualized into Infinity. If you assume or believe it, then you are right. It would just be another story. But I am not asking you to assume or believe. I am suggesting that you become absolute conscious that you are alone. God-realization is not a theory. Get that. Just like your present experience is not a theory.

In this works the ego fighting back is not a bug, it's a necessity.

Sorry, didn't read that far. In that case, your victim mentality is even more bullshit. As long as there are hot girls around, you can get them by talking to them. Frat boys and jocks are irrelevant. Why do you even think about them? Yes, Covid sucks for pickup. Wait it out like the rest of us. You are so young the rest of your life is still ahead of you. I didn't even start pickup until 26/27. What I wouldn't give to be back in college again. OMG, like shooting fish in a teapot with a shotgun. Cheer up bro. Have a long-view perspective. Covid will end and you will get much better with girls if you work at it. Jocks don't matter. So all is good. If the girls are as slutty as you say, then you should have no problem sleeping with them. Sluttiness works in your favor if you make yourself into a high quality guy. She will fuck a few jocks, then fuck you, see how much better you are, and stick with you.

@Valwyndir The practical problem with your position is that by celebrating religion too much it feeds directly into the delusions of religious people who then think to themselves, "Oh, good. That means I was right after all." And then they never deconstruct their religious beliefs and attachments -- which is absolutely crucial in this work. So I would much rather tell a person who loves religion: "Religion is bullshit. Throw it all away. You won't miss anything." rather than telling them how wonderful religion is. Mostly, religion is a virus and straight-jacket of the mind. Even though beneath that lies some deep truth. But you won't access that truth without being willing to throw away your religion. Hence the paradox of religion.

Nuance Try using it.

Stop thinking negative thoughts and just go out and talk to more girls. That's the simply solution. You can't think your way out of this situation. Be very mindful of your negative thoughts. You need to learn to channel your mental energies towards productive action. Move to a city which has lots of hot girls. Talk to them frequently. Problem solved. If you can't move now, start making plans to move and build the resources to move. This laying of plans will lift your depression. The reason you're depressed is because you have no hope. And the reason you have no hope is because you're not thinking far enough outside the box and taking radical ownership of your life situation. You are young and there are literally thousands of hot girls you can meet and sleep with if you really wanted to. But you don't really want to do the work for it. Hence you're depressed.
