Don't sit back and hope for the world to become conscious some day. Roll up your sleeves and get to work making it more conscious. This is not a problem, this is an opportunity for you to shine. As you get engaged in life purpose work, your feelings of not being understood will start to become irrelevant as your work will reach out and touch thousands of people.

Get contacts, far superior to glasses.

Yes, this is all about how you carry yourself and make your approach. There are right and wrong ways to approach and set the proper first impression. You need to make sure your body language is non-threatening. You also need to be very chill and casual about it. You need to start off immediately by treating her as your girlfriend, not as a stranger. Whatever you feel will transfer onto her. If you are nervous, she will be nervous. If you feel awkward, she will feel awkward. After I stop her, the first thing I do is I immediately say something to take the edge off. Something like, "Hey, I know this seems random and weird, but I just saw you and thought you were cute. Don't worry, I'm not crazy or anything." And then YOU must carry the conversation. Don't just stop a girl cold and then look at her silently, expecting her to carry the conversation. You gotta start moving your mouth and engage her attention with interesting talk, not awkward silence nor peppering her with boring questions. It's also super-important that you SMILE on open. Be smiley. If you open her without smiling, that's your #1 mistake.

Yes, I have noticed that mushrooms and some 4-HO sub-type tryptamines give me a hangover the next day, while other psychedelics do not. 5-MeO has no hangover effects at all for me. Neither does DMT from what I recall although I'm less sure about DMT since I've done a lot less of it. You could experiment with various nootropic supplements or vitamins on the day after to see if they might take the edge off. I get the sense that the brain might simply be lacking nutrients the day after which were used up the day before. If you could supplement that lacking nutrient, theoretically you could stop the hangover. Let us know if you find something.

I use this krill oil: https://amzn.to/2EOdpte It looks premium, but hard to really feel the difference. You're sorta just trusting them on it.

Try drinking Slippery Elm bark every day for a few months. There are other natural supplements along those lines you should try out. Search online to find em. Also try juicing. Juicing seems to be power for healing gut issues. A huge glass of celery juice every morning. And you can try other juices too. Try that for a month at least. Also get tested for candida and other bacteria/parasites. Comprehensive stool testing can be important in this case. You can order test kits like this: https://www.doctorsdata.com/comprehensive-stool-analysis-w-parasitology-x3

That will depend on what kind of person you are. Some folks are more insiders, others are more suited to be outsiders. I'm a strong outsider because I'm very clear in my vision and very independent. Collaboration isn't my cup of tea. But your personality might be the opposite.

I'm speculating here, but I think what was really going on was that Jerry was cheating on his wife for years and as a way to compensate they came to this arrangement of an open marriage where each would sleep around with whoever they wanted, but maintain the appearance of a traditional marriage because, hey, gotta keep up those good ol Christian family values. I get the sense that their marriage became stale and died long ago, and they just never got divorced because it was too convenient to officially be together. I'm sure we'll hear more stories in the future about who Jerry was banging behind the scenes while all this was going on.

Sometimes the most connected you'll feel is when you're alone.

Lots of stuff is a social construct but that doesn't mean it is readily changed. Good luck getting guys to wear high heels. Language is one of the most socially constructed things there is. And yet, it's hard to get people to change their vocabulary.

@Fran11 Some small degree of that is happening, but mostly people still fall into pretty strong gender binary roles, and I don't see that changing. Maybe 5-10% will skew in quirky directions, but most will be happy being more masculine and more feminine. At least in our lifetimes.

Ah... but it's not so simple. So long as you are in that physical body, you will have a strong identification with your sex. Sex is a deep physiological aspect of what you are as a human on the relative plane. And this cannot be changed willy-nilly. The hormones running your brain and body play a HUGE role in shaping your raw experience of life, not to mention your thoughts and emotions. So it's not as easy as having robots do all our physical labor for us. If you want to completely decouple gender and sex, you'll have to become like a brain in a vat hooked up to some VR game. Or via genetic engineering. But assuming your genes stay that same, you'll have attachments to masculine and feminine qualities.

Become infinitely conscious and see for yourself what's up. You are God, after all.

There actually is no such thing as POVs. There is only your direct experience. All POVs are inside your POV. The concept of Points of View is inherently dualistic. It too much collapse.

Gender is just an aspect of self-identity/ego. And all identity is relative & imaginary. You could identify with being a unicorn and no one could stop you as long as you believed in it hard enough. After all, that's exactly what you're doing right now when you identify as a human. "Human" is a totally imaginary identity.

Is there really such a thing though? Which country has a purely capitalist society?

Only in your mind Reality is relative and imaginary. Which means that if you imagine other people are real, they will be real for you. But if you ever stop imagining they are real, they will stop being real. Which is precisely why people are so insistent that others are real. That insistence is the very thing which makes them real. If you stop insisting, they will stop being real. But you will insist this isn't so. So there you go again

Exactly! What you have yet to realize is that Absolute Truth is a tautology.

Since Love is absolute, everything that happens is already in the service of Love. So you have no choice in the matter. Whatever you do will increase Love in the world. The more evil you become the more Love your evilness with spawn in response. Have you noticed yet? The evolution of society cannot be stopped. Politics is a force of nature no different than the moon orbiting the Earth.

That's because reactionary right-wingers have made a cottage industry out of cherrypicking and demonizing feminism. As they do with BLM, socialism, homosexuality, gender identity, and many other reasonable things.

No, it's something you are imagining I'm imagining The infinite regress to nothingness is not a bug, it's the prime feature. All roads lead to nothing and nowhere. Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind

Don't throw your entire music career under the bus. Just upgrade your ambitions to make more elevated music. There is no problem with making great music and being deeply conscious. This is a fantastic opportunity! There is some amazing music out there that is like sex to the ears of a conscious being. You just gotta start creating outside the box of mainstream culture. Music can be a powerful driver of spirituality. A gateway drug for the soul

Cool it guys. Don't make this personal.

God is an Infinite Dreamer dreaming an Infinite Dream. One dream, two dreams, three... What's the difference, don't you see? What's the difference 'tween you and me?
