First of all,there is no such thing as right or wrong path . His life, let him be the artist of it. I do not necessarily agree with everything he is saying or might be doing, mainly because the focus of my life more inward than outward. People can express themselves of how they want, let it be. Why spend precious life time to focus on someone's life, build your own one. If he may lose motivation then it meant to be....

I guess the problem here that at any give moment of our lives we feel this NOW in bundle with body, body is always in NOW so is real, really hard to breakthrough, Leo, thinking than you are more than that. I get everything you are saying on the intellectual level, it is not hitting me in my direct experience.

Thank you, I will investigate further, talk to you in one year if you still around.

So what to do if I am truly stuck at a point where I do not know who I am, my voice is silent, he does not want to answer me any more, lol

Leo said in his video that you use this principle until it brakes, voice talking to itself, it is absurd, but the more you ask, the less answers you get, exhaust it and see what happens. You should come to the stage where you will really sincerely do not know who you are.

That is how I feel too He is pretty much is playing with it. To take or not it's up to us to decide, really. I see him just being on this stage right now. I do not take it seriously or vision him doing drugs all his life. Plus, guys, please take into consideration that he changes as he goes. Today might have one insight, tomorrow another one. Today drugs, tomorrow might wanna go in the cave and sit there alone. He does not know himself, all his experience is a row knowledge of every moment he lives. So....select the information and tailor it according to your life and circumstances. Don't fall into extremes. People who will want to do drugs, will do it anyway with regards to any references. We are all influenced every minute of our lives by our surroundings, media, family and friends. We do not have a choice not to be. But we can not really blame every source of information the way it impact us.

This is very interesting topic and bugging me all the time, due to my research there wont be death because there is no birth. In a sense of body-mind state, then I wonder myself what will happen with my focal awareness. But there is no time either, just illusion of it, so I might be dead already. To understand this we have to understand Reality.

I guess the ultimate question is there to ask yourself is what would it give you if you become a pick up King? Why do you need to acquire this skill in the first place? Is it your authentic desire or you want to be cool and develop self-confidence with women? Imho, there is not a right answer to this question, firstly because any path you choose is going to be your unique experience which is tailored for you. Will you be ultimately happy? It is just a skill and no woman will fulfill you to the point where you are a successful person. I agree, variety will give you the flavor of what you need, but if you feel that currently staying with that nice girl is not a bad thing and you enjoy it, why forcing the events, just wait and see what will happen. If one day relations are going to cease you will leave it with a piece of mind. Personally, when I am forced to make a choice and I do not really know, I do not make any choices, I just observe, believe or not thing will arrange without your input in the best way possible for you.

Death is not what we are scared of, we are scared of unknown, in fact if you die tomorrow who is there to register this fact? Do you know how is it to be dead? If not, how can you be scared of death? You are not scared of death, but scared of all the consequences that it might bring. It is just a story in your mind of what might happen. I have been contemplating this topic for a long time, it is not that easy to grasp, when people say they grasped it, do not buy into that, mind can not grasp something it has never experienced, unless you are enlightened, that would be a different conversation.

Don't worry it's not a linear process. Everything is much more complicated.

Thanks, very pretty

Absolutely agree, time is a mental construction, very subjective one and does not exist as such

@kuwaynej Perhaps, nobody really knows what time is, I just have a feeling that we should seek in this direction: present moment and everything belongs to it

@Nahm past, present and future all equally real

@Nahm that is what I meant :), here we go for you to watch

So what is now then?

I think we should understand the illusion of time better to answer this question. Think about it if time is just an illusion and exist within concious experience how is it possible to have a free will? Everything has already happened, we just see the fragment of Reality.

@Loreena

@Key Elements Thanks, absolutely agree with you.

I never liked that kind of games...how long to wait or what to reply. In my opinion, if you meet the right person and you both have genuine interest in each other, it is impossible to hide. Intuition is the best thing here, because you can sense and adjust accordingly. If you feel that woman express the same interest in you and is excited when you text or call her, all rules fly out the window. But again, it should be "your person" who can set you free. You will feel it instantly. It all depends on you and person you meet. If you meet the right person, by opening up yourself, you will trigger that person to open up to you as well. Good luck

Hello guys, Can you please stop by and help me to sort one thing out. I have sometimes an interesting state of my consciousness. It occurs to me when I fall asleep and only in this state. I do not know what it is. I do not even know how to describe it. So today when watching "House" I fall asleep, but not completely, I could hear the voices and talks from the movie, however it is kinda like on the "backyard of my psyche". You hear the sound but the ability to analyze is completely turned off. It is just there. Sometimes when falling a asleep on my own, I close my eyes and when just ready to really fall asleep, it feels like my thoughts go through me, very similar to what we see at the end of the movie, black screen with running captions. I "hear" random words or phrases or even sentences, they are non-sense and not even connected, "somewhere on the backyard" but I do not analyze them, because I am so relaxed and part of me is turned off. They are running on their own. I become "empty" and detached from them. what is it? Do you have it in the meditative state as well? what kind of state of consciousness is it? Again, it happens only when I am about to fall into deep sleep, maybe couple minutes/seconds before. I do not really know how long it lasts, but it is a borderline state between being awake and half a sleep condition. has someone ever had it?

Thank you, guys, for helping me to dig deeper. So thankful for this forum and people.

@Elisabeth me too

@SLICKHAWK here read this, it is exactly what I am trying to emphasize here: "Similarly, by comparing the hypnagogic state to REM dreaming, a 2013 study by the same researchers confirmed the long-noted observation that while dreams often feel fully immersive, hypnagogia tends to be experienced as if we were passive observers—with the hallucinatory thoughts and images occurring as a projection on our existing sense of reality." -yeah, I am a passive observer, that is the coolest thing and the best way to wrap it into words. I was just wondering that this state of consciousness might be similar to what we all here want to achieve. what if we could be in this state longer, or know how to catch it to use it as a tool to enter the state of absolute pure awareness without any analysis.

yeah, I had five lucid dreams in my life. I was aware that I am sleeping and start to experiment with other people reactions, like giving a kiss to my female boss at work. ( I am straight, lol). Another one was in Europe, Vienna and I was aware of sleeping but could not figure of how my eyes could see, in fact I was trying to play with that sensory feeling. but here is my point, when I am falling asleep I am aware, that is the most beautiful feeling because I do not identify myself with the thoughts any more, I just observe them and they showering me with bunch of non-sense, they do not even connect to each other in meaning. I wish I could explain this better to you: it feels like I am a dark emptiness where the thoughts occur.
