@CreamCat Try it and see what happens.

@CreamCat None of that can be trusted. The ego will circumvent all your lofty ideas.

@Kaity Psychedelics help. A lot. As they show you your authentic personality. 1 trip is worth 100 videos. The problem of authenticity is so deep, it's not merely social or psychological, it's metaphysical. You can only really resolve the issue metaphysically. The ego is too terrified to really be authentic. It's a matter of life and death. Authenticity will only really come with the elimination of the ego. Which is not to say you can't or shouldn't do some self-help or psychological work. That can be useful. But it won't solve the root issue.

@c_wave_arts The point of PUA/RSD is to learn how to get laid. If you struggle with dating you certainly won't learn how to get laid watching my videos. Then again, PUA/RSD is quite neurotic, dysfunctional, egotistical, ideological, and shallow. But it will get you laid if you take action on it. Which could be useful.

This is almost always a lie. Such situations are almost never stable and filled with self-deception on both sides. In practice what happens is the women are deeply unsatisfied and end up dropping out after a year or two. And it only works from the guy's POV if he's constantly pulling new women into his harem. The guy is burning through women every year to maintain his rotation. But because he's so selfish he's blind to the suffering he's causing these women so it seems fine from his POV, as least until he becomes more conscious, at which point he'll see it and probably stop. Most women will be crushed when you tell them that you want to see other women. Imagine utter heart-break. That's what she felt when you told her that. It crushed her. To pretend otherwise is quite delusional. Ask yourself why you want polyamory. Watch out for egoic self-deception here. Figure out how to relate to one woman first before you start juggling 3 of them at once. Most guys who want to be with multiple women are immature and terrified of commitment, relationship & intimacy. That's what you really want to work on.

This is why psychedelics exist. Case closed.

@CreamCat Leave the house and go to a cheap motel room or camp outdoors. The house has too many distractions.

@Viking In other words, what you really want is to be a monk. You just haven't realized this yet. Your disillusionment is stemming from the highest wisdom. But are you wise enough to see that and courageous enough to actualize it? Disillusionment is not a mistake. After are, you are inside an illusion The mistake would be to sweep the disillusionment under the rug. What you're really tired of is the ego's bullshit games.

@Adilbek You have no idea yet what you're in for Do you dare exit the Matrix?

@F A B It is a truism that everyone always wants to feel loved. You can't really go wrong with that advice. Then again, never follow advice too literally. You must apply it with intelligence and contextual awareness.

I shot a video but I was having some sinus troubles so it didn't come out to my liking and it will be re-shot, as it's an important new topic. I usually try to get a video ready by Sunday, but if I'm unhappy with how it turned out, I would rather re-shoot it than to release something just to maintain an artificial schedule.

He is talking about the difference between seeing the Ox and taming the Ox. But even aside from all of that, there is still another dimension: development. Full enlightenment does not guarantee development.

Sex scandals exist everywhere. The surprising thing would be if they didn't exist in religious groups, since they are part of everywhere.

Locked because the title is too click-baity

The key is to really know your subject matter. So in fact there is lots of prep, but that prep is years of research behind the scenes until you know the topic like the back of your hand.

@Flowerfaeiry Just start anew. Failure is how you learn your lesson.

@Amadeusz People who get serious results are not going to hanging around on a forum. They will be working on and enjoying their results. If you want to be successful you need a serious business and marketing strategy. Dicking around on YT or a forum is not gonna cut it. You need to get very serious about your work. Stop dicking around and go create something that offers massive value to the world, and do it smartly. Passion is no substitute for poor business strategy.

3 years is more than enough to time to learn that you don't like something. Clearly you ain't passionate about that. You don't need to eat shit for a long time to know you're passionate about some subject. What do you enjoy studying? What kind of projects excite you?

@Anton Rogachevski You're reading too much into. You shouldn't rely on any one source or you will get stuck. Formless Tao is unchanging. Formed Tao is ever-changing. Formless Tao and Formed Tao are identical. But they can also be distinguished. Again, changing vs unchanging is a duality. Tao vs non-Tao is a duality. Mundane vs True Tao is a duality. Tao is ALL. Just... Tao

No

@TheWokestMan If the trips are as profound as you say they are, they should be changing how you see the world, even if you can't be in that peak state all the time. It sounds like you just need to do a lot more contemplation, meditation, yoga, self-inquiry, and basic development work. LSD is a catalyst for all that. Pouring fuel on a fire only works if there is already a fire.

@Mikael89 Your ignorance is getting obnoxious.
