Of course developing internal pathways is crucial to our work here.
Psychedelics by themselves will never be enough.

Well, game is very much misunderstood and demonized by mainstream culture. So of course this is what people think.
Learning to consciously attract women is considered taboo.
Well, that works too. Approaches are approaches. It does not matter where, when, or how many.
The mall can be a great place to approach.
My first success came from a mall approach. It was a thing of beauty. Hot 25 year old girl was walking and talking to her mother on the phone. I stopped her and told her to hang up on her mom. She did. We talked for 5 minutes. A few days later we got a coffee and she slept with me. Amazing girl.
It's not ironic at all.
Taking 100% responsibility is the foundation of our work here.
My criticism of libertarians is that they shirk collective responsibility.
You must be both individually responsible AND collectively responsible. That's what I teach. Just one or the other is not good enough.
Yes, in this work I expect you go above and beyond what any normal person is willing to do. That's the key to becoming an amazing human. You must be willing to do what others are too lazy to do.
I am giving advice for guys who are SERIOUS about becoming great. If you're happy with mediocrity, my advice isn't for you.

The money shot:
 

All identity is relative, subjective, and self-constructed.
Whatever you think you are, you're imagining that. Whether you think you're a human, a 30 year old male, or whatever.
The reason you feel some of these identities are more real and less constructed is because society happens to reinforce your imaginary identity.
So, for example, if you were born into a society/culture which believed that all humans are aliens, you would identify as an alien and you would feel that this is your true biological identity.
Your actual identity is Nothing. Which allows you to pretend to be whoever you want. But the added wrinkle is... since you are addicted to the approval and authority of your culture, you only tend to take seriously those identities which your culture says are valid and real. So when some college kid tells you that she's a unicorn, you think that's stupid. Because your culture tells you that people cannot be unicorns.
Who is right? No one. It's all relative.

To be fair, there is a progressive rabbit hole as well.
The only difference is, the progressive one is much less toxic and actually helps advance society to the next stage.
But progressive/Green ideology and group-think is still a thing. So be careful. If you watch too much progressive YT, you will develop blindspots.
It's important diversity your sources and not just get all your info from YT.

Libertarianism is good against a severe authoritarian state, perhaps like that in China.
But libertarians always act as though the government is oppressing them -- no matter what size government is -- so they cry wolf even about sensible regulations which are not really oppressive.
Stuff like Medicare For All and Green New Deal and Civil Rights is not oppressive or authoritarian. It benefits the vast majority of people. Yet libertarians will oppose it. So they become useful idiots for corporations and plutocrats who want as little regulation and public services as possible.

@louhad When it comes to dealing with upset females, always just ask...
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
And don't try to fix it or change it.

Nothingness is imagining everything. Just like how a white sheet of paper holds whatever is drawn on it.
You can have all sorts of mystical experiences of aliens, out of body, astral realms, chakras, etc.
But all of it is happening within Nothingness. All of it is Nothingness.
No-self is a higher degree of consciousness than an OBE or a formed mystical experience.
The highest realization is that you have no form whatsoever. There is no reason to get out of your body because you were never in your body to begin with. You are omnipresent. You cannot go anywhere because you are already everywhere and everywhere is nowhere and nothing.

@Zak That is silly.
75 approaches per month?? That's why the guy isn't getting his dream girl. You gotta be doing 5x-10x more.
Obviously not every girl will be attracted to you. It makes no difference. If you do 750 approaches per month, you will get many girls attracted to you.
It's easy to tell when a girl gets attracted. Hook-point is usually reached within 5 minutes of an approach.
And yes, the quality of your approach matters A LOT. Girls are attracted to PERSONALITY. If you can't display your awesome personality within 5-10 minutes, you'll lose lots of girls who would otherwise get attracted.
If you approach 1000 girls, you will attract at least a few stunners, and many average girls.
PUAs are not lying to you. They get crazy results because they go out so much and approach so much and they got crazy good game that will take you years to develop. I have befriended many PUAs, not professional coaches but ordinary guys. And they get laid a lot.
A knew a newbie virgin guy who moved to Vegas and started doing PUA. He was had average looks and average height. A bit chubby. He was a total virgin. Within a few months he slept with something like 20 or 30 girls. It was amazing. Of course Vegas is uniquely good for pickup, but still. Even for Vegas that's a lot.

@Epikur Well, aside from the choking, JR was right. Open borders are more problematic than some progressives imagine. Covid-19 clearly shows the importance of border control. Although Americans are so stupidly libertarian that they infect each other worse than any outsiders would.

Those who are most loving and selfless.
It's not so hard.

Psychedelics are so powerful that you will never get used to giant doses. You're not going to out-macho psychedelics. They will always kick your ass if you take too much. So be careful. Infinite Consciousness is not a thing to be trifled with.
I find high doses of DMT downright terrifying. It's too much consciousness for a human to handle.

I had time off work booked for a 5meo retreat and I just completed that retreat last night. I got up around 10 every day and meditated one hour and did back and leg stretches and sat silently when not meditating every other hour and just alternated.
I smoked 5meo multiple times every day.
Main practices we're:
self inquiry, [a little less of] kriya yoga, do nothing and a good bit of contemplation on what is the mind, reality, God, thoughts etc. I smoked a SHITTON of 5meo.
 
I find 5meo very very strange, extremely strange
..it nearly feels like I can literally control what happens in the trip. Like, literally...if I smoke 30mg and focus, I can make it so literally nothing happens...is this normal? 
Day 1
I did allow myself time to relax when I was getting very tired and I listened to relaxing meditation music like this:
The trips were kind of weird and hard to pinpoint what the fuck was going on, but I trusted the the spirit of 5meo would take me to where I needed to go. I was smoking 20mg pipes mostly first day. The main thing I took away from my 5meo trips is the strength I feel after, absolutely amazing. I feel so much stronger after now. I sort of concluded that 5meo is...whatever you imagine it to be. Had one bad trip today but was all good. Lots of meditation. Successful.
 
Day 2
had a 30mg pipe and a massive emotional breakthrough in which I realized that I had a big reservoir of pent up emotion regarding the death of my grandma and i let out SOOO much emotion and realized that my Dad loved me and that he just wanted to spend time with me. I had that emotional breakthrough to this song:
 
This was definitely one of the more powerful experiences. I realized that I need to value my family more. I wept for a good 10 minutes but it was blissful. The strength I felt after was...haha...awesome. so strong. That was the first big pipe I smoked.
 
Day 3
Today I got my first real direct awareness that I might actually be inside my own mind which was an interesting one. Contemplation upon what the "mind" is was focal today.
Today I noticed that everything seemed quieter and slightly more beautiful. I really did smoke a lot of 5meo, I was worried about my lungs but then I remembered Leo talking about 5meo's traits of removing and healing addiction. Im trying to stop smoking tobacco and weed ATM so even if 5meo is bad for my lungs, it'll likely help me stop smoking the other stuff easier so it'll not be as bad for my lungs.
I had one more bad trip at the end of this day where I experienced a lot of confusion. This confused me since all I had gotten was strength up until then but I composed myself and thought, could be ego backlash...or just a bad trip ah well.
Meditation was good, self enquiry, do nothing, some concentration...on point ???
 
Day 4
Today I really was kind of scared to smoke more 5meo cuz I ended on a bad trip the previous day but I smoked a little 10mg pipe (little for me) and felt back to normal. Today I contemplated deeply and realized that the imperfect parts of myself that I hate would be transformed and turned into the parts of me that will cause me to have massive success in life! Amazing ? I realized that I have to love myself more. I still don't have direct knowledge of what "love" is but I'm getting a shitton closer.
Meditation was solid, wasn't too strict. Went on my phone a bit relaxed a bit, at the end of the day it was 5meo doing the majority of the heavy lifting and it wouldn't have made a difference if I went on my phone for 10 minutes lol (don't judge me).
 
Day 5
Today I got my first real direct experience of there not being a me who finds or is found...just a taste but I got it. Looking inward and seeing nothing. 
Today I was MUCH more grounded and was very comfortable smoking my 5meo. I was...extremely centered and had very little fear when I focused. I am starting to feel a lot of STRENGTH. 
It also felt like when I *actually* looked at things in my room they changed. So my TV existed as a TV, until I looked at it...at which point it wasnt a TV anymore...it was something else. A different thing (dream material perhaps).
I smoked 40mg pipe in a state of super centeredness and...frankly, wasn't impressed. I find DMT much more profound if I'm honest. Maybe I have a natural inhibitor to 5meo or something. If smoking 40mg didn't leave me with a life transforming experience, then I don't know if plugging with the new boofing technique is even worth trying...I'll try it nevertheless.
The main thing was trusting the 5meo to do its job. The main thing I felt was the strength and centeredness. Im Very very strong afterwards. VERRRRY strong. I have faith in 5meo and the practices. I also got some DPT yesterday so gonna see how that is.
Didn't meet God...but I know what God is at a low level. I do know, and I can see it directly... slightly. I'll keep trying to actualize it more and more.
 
Conclusion/summery
happy with my retreat, 5meo makes me very strong and mentally focused. I can sit for days and contemplate on it. I became a movementless Buddha statue for about 15-20 minutes after my 40mg trip. Was pretty cool. And I guess profound as fuck. Happy with progress, still have faith in the guru to take me to where I need to go, Nirvana. 
Going to be experimenting with MDMA/DMT combo's soon, super excited. Very very good????
 
#/#/U-P-D-A-T-E/#/#
Soooo update, turns out the universe was planning on me apparently partaking of a reasonable amount of high purity ketamine last night, known for it's dis-associative effects. I'm aware that this substance is addictive, I haven't taken it in a long while, and won't take it for a long while again. Very very profound experience directly after my 5meo retreat. 
The only thing I can say is waw, everything is so fucking beautiful and I am opening up like a flower, emotionally, psychologically...waw
Could be a delayed response from the 5meo haha. The sun looked 10 times more beautiful this morning, and there is a glow. There's a certain number of small things that I have changed within my own mind that I know will prosper me greatly. I'm in shape, I'm focused, fuck. I can't even remember what I experienced during the peak of this trip exactly but I feel fucking amazing. And everything looks lovely hahaha. I can tell that something has changed, my perceptions are all strange haha. Picture of the sun as I'm looking at it from my bed right now below ? wow

LP by day, pickup by night.
Move to a bigger city when you can afford it.
Remember, pickup doesn't have to take up your whole day. You can go out for 2-3 hours every Fri, Sat, Sun. You can do day game in the afternoons on weekends.

There are pros and cons to each location. And it depends a lot on where you live. Some cities are great for daygame while others are not. Some clubs and bars are shit, some are amazing. You can't beat a Vegas nightclub pool party for game. XS on Sunday nights in the spring and summer is just paradise. Los Angeles, Miami, NYC is great for daygame.
Finding good locations is crucial to your success. Invest a lot of time finding the best locations.

It's similar to Silicon Valley. They are Green on social/culture issues, and Orange on economic and metaphysical issues.
A capitalist is much more threatened by relinquishing Orange values on economics, metaphysics, and epistemology than they are in being pro-gay, pro-women, pro-minority. It doesn't cost Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Tesla, etc much to be Green on social/cultural issues. But it costs them tens of billions to give up Orange economics.
The engine that runs most universities is still Orange capitalism/materialism. With a Green outer shell.

More accurately he is a vain, incompetent, sociopath, narcissist, demagogue, opportunist with no principles or philosophy of any kind other than self-aggrandizement.
To be a proper fascist he would have to care about some communal goal beyond his own personal aggrandizement. He's both too selfish and too lazy to care about such a goal. And even if he overcame that, he would be too ignorant and incompetent to execute it.

Have you ever wondered what percentage of songs are written about love?
Have you ever wondered why?

Yeah. Most PUAs suck at sex and they have no idea how much quality sex they are missing by not going deep with one girl.
OMG the kinds of sex that are possible from going deep with one girl. Most humans cannot imagine it. Godly levels of sex are possible!
One night stands can be exciting, but they are not good sex at all.
Well, he's made it his career now, so he's not likely to stop any time soon.
To be fair, traveling the world, doing bootcamps, and banging girls is a pretty awesome lifestyle for the average guy considering he could be working in a cubicle somewhere looking into a computer screen all day long.
If I worked in a cubicle and I could push a button to fuck 1000 girls and travel the world and get paid for it, I'd do it.
Actually, I could do that!
Okay guys, time to change careers. You're on your own now

Julien was a juvenile idiot drunk on the power of RSD culture.
This is the kind of thing I criticized in my A Rant Against The Pickup Community video.
There was a fundamental lack of concern for the woman's feelings within RSD culture. Women were treated as disposable dogs. I clearly saw it as a problem just before this whole debacle with Julien blew up in his face.
It all could have been avoided if Owen put some emphasis on ethics. The selfishness was just off the charts within RSD culture. It became toxic.

The deeper issue here is this: you interactions with women need to be obviously charged with sexual intent that if a woman pays you any compliment at whatsoever, she knows she's implicitly asking to sleep with you.
You need to make it clear with the first 5 minutes of meeting a girl that this is not a friend-to-friend interaction.

It's overly selfish and emphasizes one night stands too much. It also tends to be highly misogynistic and needlessly cruel.
I advocate an approach which is careful not to harm girls too much emotionally. You have to be careful and responsible about who you sleep with.
No idea about dating in Afghanistan. I am talking about dating in developed countries.
RSD is about becoming as natural as you can. The problem is how to become natural when you aren't one to begin with?
True naturals tend to be highly extroverted, charismatic, social, confident, and experienced from a very young age. So you can't get that without doing thousand of clumsy approaches. Natural is the end result of years of nonstop effort and mastery. It will all feel highly unnatural when you start. Don't let that stop you. Naturalness comes with experience and skill.
Yes, you will still require at least a year or two to get decent. There's more to it than mere confidence. You have to learn how to deal with all the obstacles that girls will throw in your face as you try to pull them home. You will lose hundreds of girls due to small mistakes you make. It's impossible to be born into life just knowing how to navigate all these obstacles. This is a skill that must be cultivated through practice and experience.

Of course, dummy.
Girls will never call a guy cute unless they are attracted.
The best way to tell if she's attracted is by how attentive she is when you talk, how willing she is to follow your lead, and how willing she is to hold deep eye contact. If she's looking deep in your eyes, she's willing to sleep with you.
Also, if she's willing to let you touch her body, she's willing to sleep with you.

This guys pickup style is great. Not just talking about this video, which is awesome, but his coaching style. Definitely a much more conscious well developed pickup artist.

@assx95 It's quite simple really: you are failing at attracting these girls.
Sounds to me like you are texting them in needy ways, since you are needy and inexperienced, and they smell that neediness off you a mile away.
Nothing repels women faster than neediness.
The solution is to start going out and learning to build attraction with women face to face. This requires practice. If a woman is really attracted to you, she will not only text back eagerly, within minutes, but she will give you all sorts of compliments to make sure you understand that she want to sleep with you.
If you fail to attract her, she will be very cold via text. Basically non-responsive. If a girl is non-response or cold via text, that her telling you: I have no interest in you.
Women don't have it easy. Actually guys have it easier because we have the ability to go out make ourselves much more attractive via pickup. Women do not have this option.
You make the mistake of confusing your reproductive agenda with a woman's. Women have a totally different reproductive agenda than men. Pure physical sex is of little value to a woman. That's not what the woman needs. So just because she can easily get it with some random dude is of little help to her.
ATTRACTION CANNOT BE BUILT VIA TEXT! << Burn this into your skull. You must build attraction in-person. Texting is merely a mechanism to set up a date, assuming you have attraction. You cannot compensate for lack of attraction with clever text game. It will not work.
The solution here is simple: channel your frustration into going out and socializing with new girls face to face.
Stop expecting texts to get you laid. They will not.
