Space is just Mind/Consciousness. Mind is an infinite empty field which can imagine anything. The irony is that if you take 5-MeO-DMT, you will realize what Ralston is saying, but Ralston will deny this possibility. Lol! Oh how silly even the enlightened ones are.

@Zec Just do the exercise on yourself. Forgiving self and forgiving other is the same exact thing. Since self and other are one.

I'm not really into polyamory.

Hahaha I find it funny how you guys assumed I was some puritan this whole time. Your assumptions and expectations of me aren't my problem, they are yours. I love myself just the way I am. I don't need to give up anything to be spiritual. That's a limit you impose on yourself. I can handle porn just fine. If you can't, that's your problem.

It was too big of a leap too fast. American society was stage Blue in the 50's and 60's and the hippies tried to leapfrog to Green by skipping Orange. So of course it wasn't sustainable. American society spent the 70's through till 2020 solidifying Orange. And now we are on the brink of Green. But notice how vehemently Green is resisted even in 2020! One third of the country is still clinging to Blue and one third to Orange.

I look forward to deep intimate relationships with females.

@Space Coyote Yeah, but you forget that people who whine about freedom really just mean their personal ability to have life go their way regardless of that means for others. So your logic does not compute for them because it doesn't help them be selfish.

Growth happens in upward circles. Otherwise known as a Spiral. You are Spiraling your way to God. Like a moth towards the light.

This thread is just going to lead to more conspiracy theory debates.

@billiesimon Good, you got it. And there's deeper

@Red-White-Light Good work!

That's okay. You don't need to be that specific. You can forgive the person itself more than the exact situation.

Of course Go enjoy a damn hot dog. Too much spiritual posturing going on here.

Haha! That is pickup! In order to pull that off one would require massive pickup experience. Such an authentic opener requires so much confidence and experience to pull off. That is my fave type of opener and it took me many approaches to master. Authenticity on a dime is the mark of a master, not a newbie. But also, the opener is just the beginning. It will never be enough to actually get her. You must also know how to keep the conversation going, how to charm her, and how to close. All this takes lots of practice. Learning how to lead and close is hugely important for results. It took me many approaches to learn that I have to ask her on an insta-date right then and there by walking with her to a coffee shop. Which means I need to know where the nearest coffee shop is. A newbie cannot know such things and will screw up every phase of the process with awarkness and ineptness. Stop thinking of pickup as fakery. Pickup is the art of learning to be totally natural. Ironically, this takes a lot of practice. "Natural" is what gets you laid. But natural ain't natural.

This exercise was only for forgiving people who hurt you. It was not an exercise to removal all possible childhood trauma. That would be a much bigger project.

Yes, terrorists are doing the hero's journey, but in a very limited and dysfunctional way. And of course "terrorist" is a highly relative notion.

Guns: protecting the world from people with guns

And what about people who eat 20 hot dogs per day and 1 gallon of ice cream and a 6-pack of Coke? Should we ban hot dogs and ice cream and Coke? There are far too many juicy things in the world to ban them all. Learn to control your cravings. You can install a porn filter on your computer if you really can't hold yourself back.

Most people are mediocre. Public policy is not designed for the top 1%. It's designed for the bottom 99%. You can't write laws assuming everyone is a Buddha.

Of course it's possible. And it's possible to walk to the grocery store rather than using a car. But we are technological creatures. Once a technology is out, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Most guys are NOT going to be satisfied with just their imaginations. Especially now that they've seen porn their whole life.

Lol As if you have any sense of what the numbers ought to be. If anything the numbers are under-counted and the situation is worse than the mainstream media reports.

That's on you. Don't blame the porn for your personal shortcummings.

No moreso than sex. Porn can be consumed responsibly, just like alcohol can. There's way too much no-FAP group-think floating around the internets. Don't forget how many lives are ruined by impregnating the wrong female. Those "scientific" studies you cite a far too short-sighted about the function that porn serves in society. It's effect on your brain is only one small factor. There are many other factors at stake. How about a scientific study on the effect of accidentally impregnating the wrong female? Let's see how that affects your brain and your wallet.

Of course influential people get more attention. If you want lots of people to care about your well-being, become influential. Influential people have the potential to hurt or help many people. So they deservedly get more attention.

Dude, you have totally lost your compassion and sense of responsibility with your conspiracy theories. What you are doing is akin to holocaust denial. You won't understand until perhaps someone close to you dies of it and you see that it is no ordinary flu. Or maybe you just need to catch it yourself, as a stubborn mind refuses to learn by any other means but intense suffering: The virus is real. It's not some government plot. And your fellow humans are suffering from it. Show some fucking compassion.
