No

stop the porn, if you're still doing that.

Yes, of course!

No, it's perfectly realistic. It really is that rare. And I am going to get it, as will Leo. This has nothing to do with luck

Have a boyfriend for 2 years and your eyes will open

No, it's not a limiting belief because Leo will achieve it for himself one day. A limiting belief is an excuse for "why" you personally cannot do it. The statistic that Leo made up is merely observation of the idiocy in society, it has nothing to do with himself.

Anyone here in Denver or Chicago? I'll be visiting both cities next week. Would be a sick chance to meet up and talk about life purpose or the mystery of existence haha.

The people up there are MARRIED lol. Yeah, you wouldn't say any of this to a stranger you just met.

Ok. So I clicked this thread because I was baited by the title, right. I read your statement, "Gives me chills that this kind of romantic interaction exists and is actually possible." Did a little internal chuckle, my pride showing there. "They can't be that special." Interesting that I preemptively diminished the greatness of others. Was I feeling threatened somehow? I start watching. I'm impressed by Eben's ability to connect his feelings to his body. I tend to imagine feelings as omnipresent. But he would pinpoint them, so now I'm wondering if there's more for me to learn. Still not amazed tho Annie begins speaking. I'm immediately floored by the ridiculous amount of responsibility she's taking. When Eben spoke, he seemed to just say the event trigger and then the brute facts of what he experienced. With Annie, she spoke more about her self image and all of her reported sensations had a personal twist. Shame, for example, is such a dynamic emotion. She's wrestling with the emotion. Whereas Eben would speak of his feelings as though they were parts in a machine (at one point he said "black and white needles," etc.), it felt more impersonal with him. 8:48 comes along. I have to fucking pause. Jesus. "I need you to tell me that it's ok to be sad" ... "your sadness is beautiful" Bro I'm not crying, you are ????? Ok, you win. It hit me too. One thought I had in hindsight is that, Eben's overexplaining after the emotional release killed the magic a little, but perhaps it was necessary for a room full of clients. It's weird to think that this whole thing was, despite being very real, also in some ways a drama for the audience. That is the nature of public talks. If Eben really sank into the silence (which is what my intuition says would've been best) and allowed Annie to express even more, the love between them would've grown even higher. But unfortunately the audience doesn't have that kind of patience. Perhaps even deeper, and now I'm projecting, but I felt that Eben did an oopsie around 10:55 when he recounted his wife's vulnerability as "not coherent" and "not going anywhere." Look at the stiffness of her face for the next 20 seconds after that lol. It seems to me that in this clip, Eben still put too much of a subtle emphasis on "fixing your wife's sourness." He says "your sadness is beautiful" but then basically lectures to the audience about how he managed to "fix" Annie's "incoherent" narrative. The victory of the mood change was capitalized on, turned into content. Furthermore, Annie JUST said that she felt like her voice was not given a chance to speak as much, and yet he just monologues after her moment of vulnerability. Did he really even register what she said? Hence, at 13:58 when he asks, how are you feeling, she fakes the reply, "Great!" But then admits that she was lying, but then lies again by saying "I feel soft." Because she feels like she can't bring up this same issue again. She has to save face for the seminar to keep running. She has to keep pretending she's not sad. Well, this was 2012 lol. I'm sure a decade has made them significantly wiser to each other's needs

Naw don't do it broh. Ed and Al discovered that the Philosopher's Stone is made by sacrificing living humans!

The means by which to eliminate pimples is pretty well documented. "Protein" is not the culprit. Of course the impact of each item on this list varies by person, but overwhelmingly, here are the acne triggers that you should eliminate: Wheat, dairy, sugar, processed foods, stress, insufficient sleep, and finally just age. If you're a teenager, you could just be doomed to acne no matter what you do. That's how it was for me haha. Skin care products that purport to treat acne tend to be useless.

What's your LP?

You're living my dream?

Obviously biased video with an intent to smear veganism. There is no hint of honesty or integrity in the presentation. That being said, I myself am slowly coming to the opinion that meat is a necessity for some people (like myself). Shit's complicated.

For me, this is easily worth 10,000+ hours of grueling growth. No hesitation.

so basically just olive oil? ?

If, hypothetically, you knew that you had the god-given power to point to any girl and that she would enthusiastically desire you on the spot, I highly doubt "getting bored with these girls" would stop you from exercising your power The bare minimum you could do is to share an authentic man-woman interaction with these girls, right? This doesn't mean you have to do anything risky with them, it just means you should honor your inner attraction. Playfully tell them that their style is on point today, or whatever. Shoot them a smile and walk off. I bet just that small effort would make your own soul more integrated.

You seem happier than I remember. It's inspiring.

Take care bro

Of course. But this is tangent to my statement: "If eradicating suffering is one of your top pursuits, you lack perspective and appreciation." There are higher truths than merely ending suffering. This should be obvious. I have at one point directly ended all suffering so thoroughly that I longed to forget this heaven, to re-experience trial & tribulation. That has completely re-contextualized this dream for me. Of course suffering is hell. Of course minimizing it is noble. But also, the fact that suffering exists at all is a miracle of the highest order. The genius behind this design is so ineffable that I feel wrong even attempting to express it here. But I know for certain that a dogged, one-track chase to "end suffering" is total silliness, peanuts from a greater paradigm. Disparaging suffering is the delusion. We are free to end suffering or not, but this freedom is a second-order matter to the primary and ineffable "genius design" that it exists at all. To use a Leoism: that God allows for (or even Wills) forgetfulness and falling asleep takes precedent over our egoic desires to only experience remembrance and wakefulness. The highest Truth is found in beholding and honoring the whole picture, so to speak, even if it means that 99% of your life is a nightmare. --- P.S. If anybody reading this is going through a lot of personal shit, just ignore what I said. I am talking about realizations that are so beyond ordinary human existence that unless you too have seen "the other side," this rhetoric may be harmful to yourself or to others.

There is a deep intelligence and beauty to suffering which nearly all of you are missing. If "eradicating suffering" is one of your top pursuits, you lack perspective and appreciation.

Beautiful. You just answered your own question

lol mr. 22 year old, you're still so underdeveloped. It's obvious from your communications. you're nowhere near the "top of the spiritual ladder," don't kid yourself

@somegirl I hope you find hope in this: (I've time stamped it for you for the relevant portion)

Are you open to psychedelics?
