Theres no I

I dont think her list had much survival on it. Although i agree that any women implicity wants this. Well you can make a woman wet without a strong career. What about an emotionally stimulating tree hugger. Although i agree that most women want a strong career = low conscious. Yep, although you can be in relationships without getting attached. It just takes conscious effort. Doesnt mean you won't mourn at a loss, but it will be a detached mourning. If you get attached to someone, you can let those attachements go bit by bit every day, so that when you do break up, you're not letting all those attachments go at once like a silly kid doing his homework the night before its due.

Yep, happens to men heaps. As a women you of course dont see it because you date straight men, you cant see what women are like. As a man, you only date straight woman, so you cant see what men are like. Hence why men on here are so sure women objectively suck while women on here are so sure men objectively suck(in a more subtle way).

@F A B except those points, like all others, are relative You might think you've fulfilled all those criteria, yet due to your blind spots and biases, you get into a relationship and actually you don't! Or the women interprets you that way incorrectly because of her blind spots/biases.

coincidentally, the main guy in this vid looks like a massive player

What causes a man to be a hurtful asshole? Is it purely that they break up with you? Or does it include things that are toxic such as judgement, hatred, dishonesty, blatant manipulation of feelings such as questioning your decisions or beliefs in ways that cause moral tension, etc. if "hurtful asshole" doesn't just include the breaking up part, can you give some examples of what hurtful asshole means? Could you include also what you expected, rather than just what they did. Or do you consider breaking up by itself(without the other stuff) as "hurtful asshole". And if so, would you have a different mindset if you somehow got yourself as detached as the buddha?

Wow that doesn't make any sense to me, why do they do that? Maybe if these people are 'underdeveloped' in a sense, they could derive significant pleasure from feeling like their genes are spreading throughout the world, as if they are growing themselves.

well if you go to south east asia, the 34 yr olds look like 24 yr olds, so you get the best of both worlds. Below 24 and you feel like a paedophile. chicken feet really does anti age you.

if you think that's bad, you should attempt what I do, have sex with randos in 3rd world countries! The more 3rd worldish it is, the more wild the sex is

Leibniz, Nassim Haramein, rupert sheldrake, ken wilber. The problem with being a real scientist, is you wont be able to do your research and work within a conventional institution like a university. You'd have to build your own system. So to truly be a passionate, enlightened scientist, you'd need to develop the skills to architect an university like system, but for your research. You'd need to build the research equipment, journal system, community of enlightened scientists to follow you, etc to pull it off. This is a skill which not many think of when they think about being an enlightened scientist, but its probably a skill as critical as the ability to do enlightened science itself.

I'd rather it be in the waking state FYI

yeah i did that a lot about 6 or so months ago, I started hallucinating wildly to the point where I actually thought I was changing the dream forever. Sort of like the simpsons episode where they go into different portals for different alternative dimensions. So I stopped it. But that is definitely a good idea. I just didn't want to do it again because its hard work and I get lazy, like you need to sleep sitting up, if you meditate lying down, you fall asleep too quickly and go out of the meditative state. So its sucky work, but I think definitely a good worst case scenario. The other thing with the technique is, you can't fall asleep. The body needs to fall asleep without you doing it. And that's really sucky work because there's a lot of effort that goes into doing hard core meditation when you're tired as fuck. But yeah its great work to do if you're super passionate about consciousness. So you need to have your posture very straight(spine super erect) and don't let your spine flop down. You should be 'unconscious' of your spine flopping down, by the time it flops down you're already in that weird deep dreamless sleep state so you don't notice it until you wake up. If you dream while doing this, you wont feel like you've fallen asleep, you'll just feel like you're hallucinating or teleported to a different dimension or taken psychedelics. You also need to watch the tendency to fall asleep like a hawk. Those tendencies are more sneaky then getting lost in thought. Every time your mind is about to fall asleep, you quickly slap your mind back to the present. Just keep self aware of the present the entire time as if you're trying to do a meditative all nighter. You need to feel like you're doing an all nighter, just a meditative one instead of a doing homework sort of one. The other challenge with this technique is, as the body falls asleep, and as you change states, you'll start loosing ground, and start hallucinating. You get into a limbo where you're not dreaming, but you're awake either. Its like augmented reality. Your room will start to hallucinate the fuck out of itself as if you've taken LSD. I remember one time a helicopter flying over my house(was 12am) because I live near a military base, and I started actually hallucinating that the helicopter was shooting terrorists. And that freaked me out and I woke up, then was too tired and went to sleep. And you're not sane at this point as you're half asleep, so its not like you can use your level head. So you've got those crazy hallucinations to deal with once you've knocked out those sneaky tendencies to fall asleep. Its a battle. Although back then I didn't take any psychedelics, and my meditation wasn't really happening. Since then I've been through shit loads of psychosis from psychedelics and meditation sessions so I wouldn't be worried about that stuff anymore.

@LfcCharlie4 Yeah RASA is just one placebo out of millions. You can do a year of rasa, or a year of psychedelics, or a year of self inquiry. Its not any more special than anything else. I think it gets a lot of attention disproportionally to other stuff, but its really just 1 thing out of many. Its definitely the same with psyches. You have to do at least 10 trips before you can evaluate its effectiveness. Same with self inquiry or any other method.

I've actually been having a lot of dreamless sleeps recently, and dreams are rarely occurring. It could be because I'm just not remembering, but I'm doing journalling, recall when waking up, checks of whether Im dreaming, etc. Also what I've noticed is my sleep when I don't dream/don't remember dreaming is a lot more refreshing. I wake up with a lot more peace and less bodily pain. So I'm of the belief that I don't remember my dreams because I'm not actually dreaming, rather than remembering. Does anyone have any practices for being conscious of dreamless sleep? I saw GreenWoods has some amazing stuff, to increase my vocabulary of what I can try, I'd love for anyone to share anything valuable about conscious dreamless sleep. Thanks guys!

thanks man! Been practising you work on OBEs, will be following these too, super valuable stuff.

wrong thread. This one:

spot on! gotta keep that energy circulating yeah if you ever need a space ride, just come on over

Bach's music isn't delusion, its pure Love thinking its not is delusional

IMO the statement "haha relativism is so stupid, because its self refuting, if relativism is true then truth is not relative and therefore relativism is false. checkmate relativists." assumes logic is more correct then relativity. But that's relative to what you believe whose to say that "if relativism is true then truth is not relative"? You're using a logic law called excluded middle to justify that relativity is self refuting. Whose to say that logic is true Why can't it be both true and untrue? Or false and unfalse? So that logic of self refuting one upping relativity is itself stupid IMO relativity's biggest flaw is false equivalencies. If you're stupidly relative, you just assume everything is of equal value and therefore lose the common sense capability to rate different arguments as being better then others in certain contexts. Sometimes capitalism is better then communism, sometimes certain races are better then others within certain contexts, sometimes new age is better, sometimes religion is better, it depends on the scenario, and relativity fucks that up. Although I'm not gonna use logic to justify my argument, because I don't believe in it. Sometimes logic is good, sometimes its not. In this context, logic aint good. This isn't related to SD though, I don't know much about SD or representing it, I'm just saying how it is from my personal spiritual contemplation. I'm derailing the thread a bit so, I'll leave this message as is.

because you're imagining that, isn't it obvious have you actually been bashed on the head with a hammer? If not, all of your knowledge about what happens when you get bashed on the head is purely from imagination.

That's true, but its probably best to let go of the parts of the past that are toxic, and replace it with the new, same with the future. Although ultimately the past is just as unknown as the future, we've just been brainwashed to think otherwise. In the context of this thread's discussion, LOA isn't really about physical manifestation, but rather just being who you are. And that sort of fits much better with why you can't control the dream. Not controlling it is part of the process of realising more about who you are.

The brain is doing that and not doing that at the same time The brain might be imaginary, but that doesn't mean there aint solid wisdom in brain chemistry. Chuck out the ideology, keep the abstract wisdom. That's actually way harder to do then transcendence. Its way easier to just transcend all notions of the dream then to actually extract wisdom from the dream and embed it into your perspective. Yet you get a deepening of knowing and experience by doing the latter.

I don't know about yellow, but someone with common sense would see the magnificent value of relativism instead of calling it stupid, and would integrate relativity within frameworks of absolutism and hierarchies and energetic systems.

@mandyjw yeah i think what I've been trying to get at in this thread is a balance between accepting reality the way it is and manifesting what you want. Like Tony Robbins style LOA completely misses the accepting reality part. If you're a prisoner, no point imagining getting out and being on a million dollars. Because that's not what's happening now, and you're living in the future that way, best to just imagine and immerse yourself in the best possible outcome that could happen now. Which is basically what you were saying with "go beyond the ideas of physical manifestation, suffering and feeling good" and obviously the best possible outcome is unconditional love lol.

totally agree there, Nahm and Ananda have helped me a lot in the past, way better then books and impersonal videos that's for sure. Although you need to always keep in mind that you're your own guru because ultimately the only one who can teach you is you. IME RASA is BS, so everyone is different. I didn't feel anything from the RASA from ananda, what was super valuable from her was her perspectives about my situation. Obviously I don't represent everyone. But I certainly don't see how RASA does anything. Maybe I'm just too sceptical.
