  1. Question about power of not knowing
    Question about power of not knowing
    Not-knowing is also helpful with gaining 2nd order relative truths because your mind is open to fresh insight and new perspectives.
    States of direct consciousness or nondual states are the merger of metaphysics and epistemology, where you know a thing by being it, not thinking about it.
    Consider thinking about a fork vs becoming a fork. That's the difference.

    I went to a club to ask people out
    Pretty simple really:
    Talk way less, do deep eye contact, and everything you say and do as you approach should be coming from a direct sexual intent. You are not there to chit-chat or be funny, you are there looking for your dream girl, and once you see her that is the frame for the whole interaction.
    Deep eye contact.
    Less talk.
    Powerful and clear intent.
    Make her feel that this is something different than empty, airheaded social chatter.

    Is this guy legit ? ( Michael Sartain)
    I see him out in Vegas clubs pretty often. He definitely surrounds himself with plenty of hot fake LA-style girls and he get access to the DJ backstage areas easily. Whether he can teach you to do what he does, I'm not sure. I don't know how scalable it is. From what I understand his programs are very expensive.
    I'm sure you can learn something from him. I know a guy in Vegas who gets insane results from elite social circle. He's slept with 1000+ girls. It's way more effective than cold approach. But also, it's like a full-time job for him. You have to be managing that social circle all the time. Is that really what you want? For some guys it's what they want.
    The bottom line is that if you want exceptional results you're gonna have to put in exceptional effort. You should expect a whole lifestyle shift to make something like that work.

  4. IOIs in night game (and game in general) and their importance
    IOIs in night game (and game in general) and their importance
    Most of the time girls will not give you IOIs. You must learn to run game on a brick wall.
    The biggest IOI is simply eye contact and her attention. You should be getting that occasionally after approaching.
    If you're never getting it, it's because your vibe is off: you're full of fear, you aren't relaxed, you're stuck in your head, you aren't smiling, you aren't in a good mood, you aren't having fun, you aren't direct enough with your sexual intent, you are too meek.
    As you approach, command her attention. Force her to give you here full attention or blow you out. Do not do half-assed, meek approaches. When you approach, approach with 100% commitment and face her directly, with full eye contact.
    It's okay if she blows you out. What's not okay are meek approaches.
    The only importance of IOIs is to immediately capitalize on them as soon as you notice one. If you see a girl giving you eye contact, immediately approach and rapidly escalate. But never wait or hope for IOIs. IOIs are like finding cash on the ground. As soon as you see it, you grab it. But you don't rely on this to make money.

    That happens very rarely. Maybe 1 in 500 girls.
    Hot girls rarely give eye contact because they are already hit on way too much. If she was giving eye contact readily she would have 50 guys trying to fuck her every week.
    You just need to stop waiting for her to make it easy for you. Just approach.
    Challenge yourself with difficult approaches. Approach a girl who is there with her boyfriend.

    Extreme confusion on mushroom trip, scariest experience I had.
    Hehe, yeah... that's how mushrooms are at high doses.
    What happened was your reality was deconstructed and you were left to realize that all knowledge is relative, and that in fact you don't know anything.
    In my The Power Of Not-Knowing video I talked about how your whole view of the world is a house of cards that will one day collapse under the right conditions, and how psychedelics will leave you in a profound state of not-knowing. I also said how defensive you are precisely because deep down you feel that your worldview is a house of cards.
    Of course you were. But your fear stopped you from realizing Yourself.
    Do it again. And again. And again. Until no fear remains.
    Facing fear is the bulk of awakening work.

    @Karmadhi Funny enough, attracting a non-hot girl can be more difficult or just as difficult as a hot one.
    You shouldn't expect average girls to give you eye contact more than once in a blue moon. Girls are not wired that way. It takes time for a girl to warm up to you and get sexually interested. She is not scanning the room the way a guy scans a room for hot girls. Girls are passive creatures. They don't bother themselves with approaching or initiating. It will happen once in a blue moon. Capitalize on it when you see it, but don't go out hoping for it.

    Yes, I usually know with 3 secs if it will hook.
    But it's still good to train the skill of gaming a brick wall. Sometimes it takes a few mins for a girl to open up to you.
    It also depends on how many girls there are out. If it's a slow night you don't have the luxury of burning through a bunch of girls. If there is a horde of girls, then you can screen for openness much harder cause all you're looking for is 1.

  9. How to collapse nothingness - love duality?
    How to collapse nothingness - love duality?
    You won't understand without profound awakening.
    It's not random at all. It's a design of the highest intelligence.
    Regular human love is a tip of the iceberg of Absolute Love. Humans experience feelings of love when they connect with a thing or person on a deep level. But this connection is very limited and biased. Absolute Love is a connection of infinite depth to every single thing in existence. The connection is so deep and wide that it is in fact Infinity.
    When you love another human you are getting a tiny taste of Infinity. And it is the most addictive thing. You get addicted to the feeling but you are not understanding the metaphysics which spawns the feeling, so you mistake the feeling for Love itself. But Love itself is not a feeling, it is metaphysical Unity. Consciousness of Unity then generates feelings of love which humans chase via romance and the like.
    You are basically confusing the smell of a rose with the actual rose. You have called the smell "a rose" but never held an actual rose. So when I speak of roses you think of the smell, but a rose is a rose even if it doesn't smell. When the smell is missing you think there is no rose because your definition of what a rose is, is too partial.

  10. What does it mean for a person to have “depth”
    What does it mean for a person to have “depth”
    Most humans are shallow.
    If you follow my work of course you seek depth and you will not find it with most people.
    Depth comes from wanting to explore the existential aspects of reality. Philosophy, spirituality, art. Stuff beyond survival and mainstream culture.
    A shallow person is one who isn't interested in going into the existential aspects of life. They live like animals. It's like talking philosophy with a horse.

    The Insane Power Of Status
    Status is the ultimate game. Which is why celebrities get laid so easily.
    But think of it this way, status is a really quick sign of a high value person. Celebrities are usually massive sources of value. And value is what everyone is attracted to.
    Why sleep with a nobody when you can sleep with a somebody??

    I don't consider Prussian Blue healthy to take. It doesn't seem as safe as DMSA.
    This is the best detox method I've come across, but I have yet to really test it:
    https://myersdetox.com/how-to-detox-thallium/
    It uses a combo of activated silica and grapefruit pectin fiber.
    Use at your own risk. I have not tested it.

    Find people in your city to go out with.
    But also go out solo and just socialize with strangers. It's good for ya.

    How to identify, convince, recruit, and Attract Talent?
    What you're really talking about is leadership. Study how good leadership works.
    A leader is someone who has a strong vision and strong values and then is able to find others whose values align with his and communicates his vision to them.
    So you need vision, you need values, you need to get good a communicating that to others, and then you just need to screen people for their values, and screen out people who aren't serous.

  15. What Are The Traps Young Men Fall Into?
    What Are The Traps Young Men Fall Into?
    Fundamentally, no sense of life purpose as their minds are co-opted by shallow social conditioning and doing what all their friends and family are doing -- which is just a mindless and mediocre form of surviving.
    From this all the other problems stem.

  16. Damage caused by spiritual content consumed by adolescents
    Damage caused by spiritual content consumed by adolescents
    Developing yourself to high levels is inherently isolating because you're going beyond the center of gravity of society. You will be misunderstood by the majority of people. There is little social support for the most advanced stuff. It's like going off-roading and then complaining that the road is bumpy and rough with no super-highways and gas stations.
    It's similar to running your own business. You will feel isolated. It's lonely at the top. But also you can find communities of like-minded people, but you must do this proactively. It won't just happen if you don't make an effort towards it.
    Also, I have said many times to seek out perspectives other than my own. I should not be your only source.

    Very little personal development happens in school. School is mostly you just memorizing stuff.

    Balancing career and pickup
    Many of the guys I know who game also have day jobs.
    One of my wings is a doctor. But he still goes hard Fri & Sat.
    Really depends on how much energy you have.
    You should be able to manage an LP and still go out twice a week, or do some day game on the weekend.
    Most important thing is that you move to a good city.

    They take me to full God-realization, which is weirder than any realm.
    Surroundings don't change, they just get wavey and fluid.

  20. Insights or self-deception?
    Insights or self-deception?
    No-self is way more than just an insight. No-self actually requires loss of a sense of self.
    Imagine that you simply forgot the self is even a thing. That's would be true realization of no-self. Right now you are just holding no-self as an idea.
    Notice, a coffee table cannot even conjure up the idea of a self. That's true no-self. What is a self anyway?

  21. How to relate to Male emotions and understand my man better?
    How to relate to Male emotions and understand my man better?
    Rather than trying to respond or comfort someone, just get good at listening to them and asking clarifying questions that deepen understanding.
    Set your intention to simply see his POV, rather than trying to get something out of him. If you do this genuinely he should start to feel validated. This requires openmindedness, curiosity, coming from a place of not-knowing, and dropping your assumptions and expectations.
    The issue for you will be that you are very emotionally reactive, and if he is too, you two will trigger each other and that won't be sustainable. An emotionally reactive man is a rather weak man and that's gonna create problems in the masculine/feminine dynamic.

  22. I'm Not Sure We're Compatible
    I'm Not Sure We're Compatible
    1) You should get good at talking about mundane stuff with girls. Rarely will a girl give you much intellectual challenge. That's not really her function.
    2) If you value deep intelligent conversations then you should emphasize that when screening girls. Some girls are deeper while most are shallow as a puddle.
    3) Most girls will be more interested in people than in things and ideas. This is how girls gotta be to be good mothers. So to some extent you just learn to accept it.

  23. Texting girls
    Texting girls
    1) The way you're asking for the date is not optimal.
    First of all, never call it a "date".
    Next, you should build a bit of connection before you ask her out. Not too much connection, but something a bit clever and funny is nice. Get her used to responding to you and interested in you.
    Next, you should make the request as low-compliance as possible. "Let's grab a coffee sometime this week." Don't mention a specific date/time. Wait til she responds before specifying that.
    Next, it is crucial that you discuss and seed the coffee date when you are getting her phone number in-person. You must tell her that you two will get a coffee together later that week and ask her what her schedule is like, when she's busy and when she's free. Get her to agree in-person. This increase your date rate a lot. All the work is done in-person, not via text.
    2) Even if you ask for the date optimally, many girls will just ignore (which means decline). Don't take is personally. Most girls will decline.

  24. What is a belief?
    What is a belief?
    Raw perception is of course interpreted and assembled into a kind of augemented reality by the ego mind. But it would be best to distinguish that from belief.

  25. Trying to uderstand Absolute Truth
    Trying to uderstand Absolute Truth
    Yes, but it needs to get recontextualized for you. See video on Recontextualization.
    False.
    Absolute Truth includes motion and change.
    That's not how you find Absolute Truth. Both states and A amd B are Abaolute Truth, the problem is just you are not recognizing it.
    Watch my videos:
    What Is Truth?
    And, Relative vs Absolute Truth.
    Truth is simply all raw experience of any kind.
