I've done it before. I see a hot girl, I see an ugly girl. Not feeling so good, I decide to play it safe and approach the ugly one instead, thinking to myself, "This will be easy!", only to realize she's harder to attract than the hot one.

That's what it all boils down to. People like JP or Joe Rogan love to beat around the bush with complex arguments which seem reasonable, but at the end of the day when it comes to vote between Hilary/Biden vs Trump, they will vote Trump. And this tells you how awful their logic is. And their audience will mostly do the same. You can just ask a sophisticated person, "Biden vs Trump? Who will you vote for?" and when they say Trump or hesitate for a few seconds, you just laugh and never take any of their political ideas seriously ever again. I love that Trump is such a sharp litmus test of political intelligence. Anyone who endorses him will go down in history as a buffoon supporting the anti-christ. It's especially pathetic when spiritual people do this.

Sorry to sound like a broken record but: High doses of psychedelics Exposing yourself to massive and diverse life experience Facing the things you fear, looking them deep in the eyes It's not complicated but it also isn't easy.

Definitely progress. But you have a lot deeper to go. That's just part pf this process. Remember how confused you were about math as a kid. Well, spirituality is more difficult than advanced math.

Math is no truer than a dog turd laying on the grass.

If all else fails, vape it and you'll be high as a kite in 15 seconds.

Good. She taught you a valuable lesson in game: even the ugliest girl will not sleep with you merely out of pity. You may think she's ugly but she can have high self-esteem and expects to be treated as well as the hottest girl. For her this is no problem, but for you it ruins your whole paradigm because you expect to judge the value of women by their looks alone. And so for this kind of attitude reality slapped you upside the head. Don't treat people like disposable objects.

Good work. Keep going out.

Everything sounds fine, you just need larger doses.

Yes, the right music will send you into ecstasy. It's a bad idea. 5-MeO makes most people very nauseous. Although I have eating right after the peak without throwing up, but I don't recommend this. You have to be very careful here. You can reach levels of consciousness where you can destroy your own body, let a long furniture. Depends on your work. At least 12 hours would be ideal. Just don't eat for 4 hours. The stomach does not digest food for longer than 4 hours. And then right before you plug, you must take a shit. I've done it many times. It's both awesome but also the climax is underwhelming relative to the bliss of consciousness that you're in. No sex can compare to existential bliss.

Consciousness is not "subjective". Consciousness is Absolute Truth. Absolute Truth is that which exists absolutely and forever. THE ONLY CONSCIOUS THING IS YOU! You are Consciousness. You are Absolute Truth. You cannot reach this understanding through any kind of science. Ever.

@Razard86 One of the wisest things I've read on this forum. Keep going.

@bambi The problem is this: You think you understand what I am teaching. But you don't. And until you get this, you'll be miserable.

It's a bad idea because you'll just gain it back and it will look worse because you will have lost valuable fat cells forever. Instead I suggest you get serious about optimizing your diet. Stop eating grains and refined carbs and I guarantee you'll lose the weight and keep it off forever. The reason you have belly fat is because you're eating refined carbs and other junk food. It's not a lack of exercise, it's the bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, etc that you eat.

You can always turn an indirect/social approach into a direct one by dropping in a simple line like, "Oh my god, I just noticed, you're so adorable." Like this: You: "Hey, I thought I'd meet you." Her: "Oh, Hi. I'm Sarah." You: "OMG, I just noticed, you're so adorable. I'm Leo." You can drop such lines anywhere in the conversation to turn it from a social one into a sexually charged one.

Make your date as small investment as possible. A coffee, a drink, or an ice cream. Then pay for it. You'll be losing $5-$10 and the girl will appreciate it. Don't do fancy dinner first dates. The only time you should pay for a woman is if she's heavily emotionally invested in you and extremely compliant. If she's acting flakey and not hooked on you, don't pay for anything. And even if she is hooked on you, you should set the frame that you're not her sugar daddy and she will have to pay for stuff too. When a woman truly likes you she will be eager to buy you things to lock in your approval and love -- because she values it so much more than money.

You basically have no idea what spirituality is until you do your first full dose of psychedelic. It's like discovering another universe. So if you're interested in spirituality and philosophy, it's a crucial move. If you're more interested in chasing sex, money, and success, then it will be distraction from that.

Weed can be crazy potent on some people. On others it does nothing.

There is an alternative. You're not actually experiencing the profound fruits of this work, you're just theorizing. It's like you are starving and I tell you to plant one mango seed. Meanwhile I'm sitting there eating a bucket of delicious mangos that I gathered from my massive mango tree. You are starving hungry and tell him, "But Leo, I planted this dumb mango like you said and all I got was this stupid little sapling. Who cares?"

Enough BS.

So, the African Spanish Inquisition?

"Hey, I thought I'd meet you." Ask for her number towards the end. But if it's a very long interaction, over 30 mins, then somewhere in the middle.

I have been rejected by thousands of women. Doesn't matter. The problem is that you have way too little exposure to women and rejection. Go out, talk to 1000 women and get rejected 100s of times and then you still stop caring. If you're talking to 1 or 2 women in your whole life and getting rejected, you will obsess over it because you're in such scarcity. There are millions of hot women in the world. So getting rejected by even 1000 of them is irrelevant. And also, this idea that every woman is supposed to like you is absurd. If only 5% of women like you, that's more than enough. You are not going to be compatible with most women regardless of how good you are. You can be the perfect human and 50% of women will still reject you, because it's not about you, it's about her needs at the time.

You must exist to doubt your own existence. That's what it boils down to.
