@Joel3102 Bahahahahaha!!! Sexual purity?? Bahahahahahaha... Whatever happened to valuing experience?

Haha! Nice!

Same thing that makes anyone neurotic and insecure: lack of love.

Enlightenment does not restrict your actions. That's a whole nother matter. It will depend on the person. Just treat these as seperate issues.

I don't see why not.

Actually, ego IS the sense of self, and it is a state of consciousness. Perceptions alone do not generate a sense of self. People who are conscious of no-self (no-ego) still have experiences and perceptions. Just no human self tying it all together.

I would never visit one if not for the pickup.

Time to pack your bottle and butterfly net and head to India

I have no interest in alcohol at all. If I want a drink, I'll drink some juice. And if I want to be intoxicated, I'll take some psychedelics.

0% I don't like being in a club. That's not how I blow off steam.

I went out to nightclubs and bars for about 2 years in a row. In that time I had maybe 2 drinks, which were offered to me for free and I drank them just to be polite.

@Peter124 You are the ego and neither is real.

You aren't approaching enough and aren't letting go enough. At least one night in your life go be a party animal. Dance until you are sweaty and out of breath. Be silly and stupid. Then watch how girls get drawn to you like a magnet. Do it sober. But by the middle of the night will become naturally intoxicated on fun. You will become fearless. You will stop giving a fuck about what anyone thinks of you.

To be honest, Owen can be a weird douche. But at a nightclub this is okay. The point is to go out, let loose, and have some fun socializing. This can be done in a way where no one gets hurt. I challenge you guys to go out one night and just have more fun than you've ever had in your life. And do it sober. Girls love guys who know how to have fun.

What??? Where are you getting this?? You've badly misread the situation. The point of pursuing awakening should be a positive one: Truth, curiosity, and Love.

Exit polls ain't votes. It's absurd to assume they should line up within 4%.

Reality IS Love. The end.

Beautiful as long as it's not your ass on the line

He's got some great analysis:

Yup Everything is precisely backwards. God's Love is a tricky business. It cannot be biased the way you want it to be. God must love viruses as much as it loves humans.

@WHO IS God is you. So God is fully experiencing your ignorance and suffering every minute. Do you feel any responsibility for your Creation?

You're not getting it. You're judging God from ego. You are completely disconnected from God.

Look for that backlog of Owen's old RSD videos. Actually life is fair and everyone is special. But that requires God-consciousness to see. You know you love it

As with many other domains, school left you totally unperpared to handle the realities of dating and sex. School does not teach those realities at all. Dating and sexuality is highly context sensitive and implicit. It is also so tied in with survival that it must be tightly regulated by the powerful because they want to fuck the best people themselves. So they will tell you one thing but then actually do the opposite themselves in their own private sex lives. Harsh truths about sex are like harsh truths about spirituality. Flirting, playful touching, and being a good salesmen are not against the law. It's not even taboo. It happens in nightclubs and bars everywhere in the world and is generally considered acceptable. But talking openly about it is often unacceptable, especially in the MeToo era. Do some guys take the flirting and touching overboard into rapey territory? Sure! Some do. But you can also do it in a decent manner. Go flirt with some girls. No problem. Never force yourself on her if she isn't smiling while you do it. Her facial experssion tells you everything. If she's laughing and smiling and looking deep in your eyes, you can basically rip off her panties and do whatever you want. But as soon as her smile turns into a frown, that's when you stop. The key is to ATTRACT and CHARM her. This is very different than force.
