  1. The Forum is not good for making money, a critical part of Spirituality
    The Forum is not good for making money, a critical part of Spirituality
    Why would you expect what is mostly as spiritual and philosophical discussion group to help you make money? That's not the primary focus on this place.
    You should join some money-making forum in addition to this one, so it rounds you out.
    Yes, making money is important, but do you really need to get your money-making advice from your rabbi?
    What it sounds like you really need is to join a business mastermind group. Not as a replacement for this forum, but as a supplement.
    If you are serious about success, what you need to realize is that success comes from specialization. You can't expect one person, group, or book to cover every important topic. Seek out specialists in every area you wish you master. This place is specialized for metaphysical topics. That's not a bug, that's a feature.

  2. Is it possible to completely change your life with hardcore meditation?
    Is it possible to completely change your life with hardcore meditation?
    If you are like that:
    1) You probably will not be able to meditate effectively at all, so brute forcing yourself with meditation will not work very well. You will probably not be able to sustain hardcore meditation, you will have a huge ego backlash, or even if you do manage it, the results will be weak because it's not enough to half-ass meditation, you must do it with quality. Meditation requires quality over quantity. You can't just sit for days in monkey mind and get good results. You might even get worse results like that!
    2) You got more basic developmental issues which should be addressed with basic self-help. It sounds like you need to just start taking action on your life, through babysteps. If you cannot accomplish basic goals, you will certainly not stick with hardcore meditation.
    I get the vibe from you like you are a newbie going to the gym and deciding to bench press 500 lbs in your first week because you're so fat. It's not gonna work. You need to slowly build yourself up. Years of neglect and inaction cannot be fixed quickly through brute force. If you want to learn how to meditate properly start for 30 minutes per day, do high quality meditation, and complete at least 1 year without missing a single day. Then we talk about hardcore meditation. Until then you're kidding yourself.

  3. Is it possible to completely change your life with hardcore meditation?
    Is it possible to completely change your life with hardcore meditation?
    It depends on what kind of change you're looking for.
    Be careful using meditation as some cure-all fix for all problems. If your problem is something in the material domain, you must fix it at that level, not with meditation. There is A LOT of development work which meditation will not address at all.
    So be precise about what your problem is.

  4. Is it possible to completely change your life with hardcore meditation?
    Is it possible to completely change your life with hardcore meditation?
    I can clearly tell. Which is why I'm saying it's not gonna work. You need to learn patience and consistency. It's hard to be successful from a place of desperation. Flailing your arms around is not how you do this work.
    Meditation is a very serious affair and should be approached with the seriousness it deserves.
    I cannot stress enough how much quality trumps quantity in this work. You must first be able to execute 20 minutes of quality meditation before you move on to 1hr, 2hr, 3hr. It is pointless to do 3 hours of low-quality meditation. You can do that for years and get nowhere!
    Meditation is the antithesis of a quick fix. You are definitely not going to bull your way through into mastery of your mind. If that were possible all my work would be meaningless.

  5. What is causing the teen mental health crisis?
    What is causing the teen mental health crisis?
    So many people live such shallow lives, without any sense of life purpose or philosophical depth. Of course you will be depressed that way.
    What do most teens live for? Games? Porn? Parties? Sex? Online content? Likes? Approval from friends?
    All of that is trash.

    All things are ultimately One. Reality is composed of imaginary differences.
    Yes, the difference between your Mom and a dog is imaginary. However, don't forget, imagination IS reality.

    Is Canada the best place to be a psychonaut?
    Def Canada. You can buy anything there legally pretty much 

  8. Will meditation get you more girls?
    Will meditation get you more girls?
    Psychedelics moreso. I used psychedelics to build a rock solid inner game. Any insecurity about myself is gone and my state is much more consistent. I have better inner game than many coaches I know. Because while they were chasing girls, I was realizing myself as God.

  9. Difference between ethic and morality
    Difference between ethic and morality
    There is a lot of overlap.
    Ethics is usually rules of conduct for institutions and organizations whereas morality is more about your conduct as an individual.

  10. God and the stone paradox.
    God and the stone paradox.
    No.
    The notion of "matter" is a figment of Consciousness, so matter IS Consciousness.
    However, what God can do it make you believe that matter is not Consciousness. So God can do the above as an illusion. Which is exactly what it has done.
    Consciousness can never stop being Consciousness, however, it can forget that it is Consciousness. And that's the whole trick: forgetting.

  11. Creating trust with girls in PUA situations
    Creating trust with girls in PUA situations
    If a girl calls you out for using pickup lines, you gotta stand firm and call her out on her shit. Like this: "Well, how else am I supposed to meet you? I saw you. I felt attracted. I came over. I'm a simple guy. And the opening line I use is irrelevant. I could have stopped you with the line: I love chicken."
    Or, a dead simple alternative to all that would be: "I don't use pickup lines when I got real game. Pickup lines are for children."
    But if you're gonna say that, you have to not be using canned pickup lines.
    You create trust by being genuine. Have nothing to hide.

  12. Not Passionate About Approaching, Please Help
    Not Passionate About Approaching, Please Help
    Simple:
    Just focus on your ultimate vision: At the end of all this you will grow into a powerful, confident, high value man, and you will sleep with plenty of cute girls, and ultimately find your dream girl.
    That's all you should be thinking about, not the negative crap.

  13. How to reconcile with all the negativity in the world?
    How to reconcile with all the negativity in the world?
    Just remember that 99% of good news is never reported.
    So your picture of reality is very skewed and untrue.

  14. I dont like cold approach
    I dont like cold approach
    Absolutely.
    But it is crucial to be able to maintain a conversation. The words don't matter so much but holding conservation is a kind of sub-communication and it is key to getting laid.
    Developing that skill was one of my biggest challenges.

  15. I dont like cold approach
    I dont like cold approach
    He's not wrong here. That's the most solid type of pickup.
    Pickup is truly nothing more than approach, be in a fun mood, hold conversation, flirt, escalate, lead.

  16. Leo, how happy are you?
    Leo, how happy are you?
    Chronic health problems have basically destroyed my happiness. I have to work around it every day.
    But I am still happier than most of you.

  17. Leo, how happy are you?
    Leo, how happy are you?
    Yes, it's bullshit.
    Your happiness is completely contingent on good health.
    A human in good health cannot even comprehend what it means to have bad health. Such people are oblivious and naive as children.
    But like I said, you can still be happy.

  18. How to find out if you're going insane? If you've lost your mind, how do you gain it
    How to find out if you're going insane? If you've lost your mind, how do you gain it
    @Igor82 There is a notion called: attunement to the subjective reality of others.
    You don't have to buy into the reality of others, but you must be aware of what their subjective reality is and how they perceive you. This has nothing to do with caring what they think of you or them liking you.
    If you are dealing with a hungry lion, you should be aware of his subjective reality and your place in it. Inability to do this is a mental dysfunction.

    How to find out if you're going insane? If you've lost your mind, how do you gain it
    Technically yes, but don't get too technical here. Grasp what I said at a high level.
    You can understand the frame of mind of other people with whom you're dealing with.
    The technical psychological term for this is "theory of mind". Look it up.

    If you cannot have conversations with normal people without them looking at your weird, that's your clue you are spiraling out of control.
    No matter how conscious you get, you should always retain your ability to talk with normal people in a reasonable way without them thinking anything is wrong with you.
    The first thing I notice about people with mental illness and dysfunction is that they cannot communicate coherently and reasonably with me. They are lost in their own minds with little awareness of how others percieve them.

    Yes, significantly. I have much less time and energy for game than normies.
    Serious games requires a lot of energy because it's exhausting.

    If I'm deceiving myself...
    There was no disagreement here.
    He was asking for a solution to self-deception and I gave it.
    Yes, humans are monkeys. It has nothing to do with them being nice or not. A monkey is a survival robot. And that is what you are until you start taking truth seriously.
    If you don't like being called a monkey then stop being one.

    Eating, Sleeping & Fucking = Heaven Theory
    No pleasure you get will match the pleasure of exploring higher realms of Consciousness. Which is why the the wisest don't care about fucking.

  24. Way of easing into seeing all is consciousness?
    Way of easing into seeing all is consciousness?
    The light at the end of the tunnel is Infinite Love. But the ego will resist like a bitch.
    To truly grasp what consciousness is requires losing your sanity.
    There is good reason why humans don't do this work. It's no joke.

  25. 5 meo DMT is horrible.
    5 meo DMT is horrible.
    1) That's way too big a dose to start with. Now you spooked yourself off.
    2) 5-MeO-DMT can have a pretty uncomfortable body-load for many people. It takes getting used to. Usually the body-load passes once you're heavy into the trip.
    3) Some chemicals will just never be right for you. Find the ones that resonate with you. However, know that it takes time to get the full potential of 5-MeO-DMT. You cannot do it with just a couple of trips. You must really test it out patiently, knowing that there is a goldmine at the end of the road if you succeed. But you may have to work for it.
    4) You may have energetic or psychological blockages which are keeping you locked up and unable to open up to the full 5-MeO-DMT experience. Those blocks need to be worked out over time through smaller trips, perhaps on other substances.
    5) Stick to 10-20mg doses. And also consider plugging vs snorting. Snorting is a really unpleasant experience which will just make you not want to do it again. Plugging results in a more gentle trip than snorting.
    6) 5-MeO-DMT is not a fun, recreational psychedelic. It's as serious as it gets. It should only appeal to the most hardcore, metaphysical-oriented psychonauts.
