    psychedelics and pickup
    Psychedelics will make you more attractive in that you can use them to become more authentic, more fearless, more confident, more playful, more emotional, more charismatic, and gain insight into the opposite sexual polarity.
    I have used psychedelics, for example, to better understand what women are attracted to in a man. On a psychedelic I can look at myself from the woman's POV and see which aspects of myself are attractive and which are not to women.

    Pain, of course, is purely relative. If you're conscious enough, there will be not difference between pain and pleasure.
    How do you even know that pain isn't pleasure, and pleasure isn't pain?
    Where in the universe does it say that pain is painful?
    If you really focus on pain while it's happening, you can start to notice that it's not actually painful, it's just a feeling.
    Try poking yourself with a needle and actually FEEL it without the ego's drama.

    Show me some science which says that if I cut your child, it will suffer.
    It will only realize pain, not suffering.
    Notice the utter self-bias of your view.

    Because if we select 1 human out of 8 billion at random, chances are much more likely that you will be born in a shitty part of the world than in a good part.
    And we haven't even considered animals. If you reincarnate as a random animal, most animals have it pretty hard. Chances you are you will reincarnate as a chicken in a factory farm or a bug that goes SPLAT on a car window shield.
    Actually pain is conceptual and something your mind is doing. If you become conscious enough you can literally stop feeling pain as painful.

    What's what liberation is. Complete surrender. Complete giving up.
    Conventional people never transcend suffering precisely because they don't do the unthinkable: just give up.
    You can manipulate reality as much as you want. Sometimes it will work. But in the end, it must ultimately fail because sickness or death will come for you and you will not be able to manipulate your way out of it.
    Which is why the wise die before they die.
    When Ramana Maharshi was diagnosed with cancer on his arm and his followers tried to treat it, he said something along the lines of "Nevermind. This body is just mud. Let it die." That is a surrendered man.

    @Someone here The problem is that you're trying to escape yourself.
    If there is an end to suffering it would require that you totally accept yourself however you are.
    The paradox of suffering is that the only way to escape it is to surrender to it. Avoidance won't work.

  9. Difference between awakening and turquoise?
    Difference between awakening and turquoise?
    @electroBeam You make valid points. In retrospect, I did conflate them and I might re-shoot the Turquoise video to correct for that.
    At the time of shooting, I felt that ultimately we have to push towards nondual and mystical understanding, which requires leaving behind the Spiral model.
    Basically once you get to Yellow+, you should start seriously getting into nonduality and mysticism and transcend all models. Spiral Dynamics cannot give us the deepest levels of understanding and development that we seek. So I was trying to bridge that gap.
    Ken Wilber's model is actually better.
    The problem with Spiral Dynamics is that the people who invented it and teach it are not themselves awakened or mystical. This severely limits their understanding of human development. Ken Wilber has corrected for that.

    @Display_Name Just because there's more does not preclude stupid beliefs.
    Jed McKenna believes the moon landing was a conspiracy theory. As but one example.
    If you sit down and question an enlightened person long enough, you will encounter some dumb ideas.

    Do your insights stay with you after your trips?
    Some realizations are so profound that they cannot even be recorded in memory. But you will have many great memories. And then also it will subtly shift your whole worldview and attitude towards life.
    It's not some magic fix. It's more like going to school. Each visit shapes you a bit but no single visit makes you "smart".

  12. How do you explain what Philosophy is to an 8 year old?
    How do you explain what Philosophy is to an 8 year old?
    Simple:
    Love of wisdom Love of questioning reality Why does anything exist?
    How do we know anything for certain?
    What is the point of life?
    If God exists, who created God?
    What is the color red?
    What makes mathematics true?
    If I turn my back on the moon, does it still exist?
    Why does war happen?
    Even... What is philosophy?
    Etc.
    Every kid will understand such questions. So philosophy is simply the serious pursuit of such questions.

    There is only 1 room in the house. Yours. The end.
    All other minds exist in your mind.
    You have always had Absolute access to everything that exists. Here it is. This is it.

    This is typical. Many different kinds of mystical states exist, and most of them are temporary.
    You can't really hold on to a positive state. Which is why the ultimate goal of awakening is to transcend all states by realizing Nothingness. If your happiness is contingent on a high state, then you'll lose it as soon as your state drops. Which is why chasing states becomes a trap.

    Hehehe, you're just not conscious enough to see it yet.
    It makes MASSIVE consciousness to realize that everyone else is a projection of your own mind. You will not reach this level of consciousness via meditation.
    You can be awake, but still under the illusion that other minds exist. Because awakening has many degrees.

  16. How many hours of meditation I need on average to enlighten?
    How many hours of meditation I need on average to enlighten?
    It's very problematic to look at enlightenment as a function of time. It's more a function of effort.
    You can meditate for 40 years and never awaken. Because your effort is still weak.
    If you are serious about awakening you need to start doing week-long and even month-long retreats.
    Awakening via 1 hour per day of meditation is virtually impossible. You need to reach a certain escape velocity, which is almost impossible to do but through uninterrupted retreats.

    Yes
    Not necessarily. Some people seem to be immune to it. But that's pretty rare. You should assume it will work if done right.
    Be careful not to over dose. It's extremely powerful.

    Rule #1: Don't talk about pickup to normies.

  20. Learning = Making Distinctions
    Learning = Making Distinctions
    I've recently watched Leo's episode on Learning = Making Distinctions and thought that it was a very useful method to apply to anything new you want to learn about. Here's the link if you haven't seen it: 
    I tried out the apple exercise he mentions in the video. There's a local supermarket where I live in Hong Kong which sells a variety of apples, which I think are mostly imported from New Zealand. I bought three different kinds from there, tried them and noted down my observations here:


    Normally I don't think about it very much when buying apples, but after trying this exercise I discovered a whole, diverse universe of sensations in the simple act of mindfully biting three different apples. 
    Distinction-making is an extremely powerful tool, and one which has opened up my curiosity about life. Somehow life becomes a lot less boring and more diverse the more you appreciate its fine distinctions.
    How about you? What distinctions have you made recently? 

  21. What is reality
    What is reality
    What's there is raw sensation, so to speak. But even to call it "sensation" is already too much. We call it Being to be more precise. Being is sensation stripped of the subject and the biological perception process which is a conceptual overly.
    So when you think that "I am a human and my brain is seeing the color green because light rays are bouncing off the object and into my eye...." << that entire thing is a story you are projecting over top of the raw Being of GREEN.
    You know it's really green because it is GREEN. GREEN is GREEN. You can't get any more underneath it. GREEN is the Absolute in this case. GREEN is Absolute Truth, but you're not recognizing it as such because you have a story in your mind which says something like, "Green is just a color that my brain is generating."
    NO!
    You must throw out that story. Leaving you with just: GREEN.
    Yes, exactly. This isn't a bug, this is a feature.
    Yes, of course. Every object is a hallucination. But hallucination is the same as the Absolute.
    Illusion = Reality
    It goes much deeper than that. "Perception" is also a deception. But not in the way you think. There is nothing "true" behind the perception. Perception needs to be recontextualized as Being/Truth itself.
    See my videos: What Is Perception, and Understanding Recontextualization
    This is tricky stuff. Your mind will struggle to get it.

  22. What is reality
    What is reality
    The mistake in your thinking is that you assume perceptions are yours. Perception is not what you think it is. Perception is Absolute Truth. So you have 100% access to what reality actually is.
    Nothing is hidden.
    Absolute Consciousness is beyond self-deception or falsehood.
    Knowing can be wrong. Being cannot be wrong. Which is why spiritual practice is about transcending knowing to being.

    Women are attracted to confidence and inner strength. That's why.
    Stage Red narcissists and sociopaths can be extremely charming.

    Should guy be the provider?
    Hey, don't blame me. We tried being nice to hot girls, and they always reject it.
    If being nice worked, I would get laid more than Hugh Hefner.
    I had to go through 2 years of intense training just to teach myself not to be nice to girls.
    The hotter the girl, the more sociopathic and narcissistic the guy must act to appeal to her.

  25. Should guy be the provider?
    Should guy be the provider?
    Oh yes they would.
    Tolle is the equivalent of a rock star. He's got STATUS, which girls love more than psychopathy and confidence combined
    STATUS is the ultimate game. Status is the ace of spades.
    If Eckhart Tolle was an enlightened nobody, then he wouldn't get laid by hot girls.
    - - - - - - -
    It's important to also keep in mind that what I was talking about in this thread was HOT girls. There is huge difference between girls who are average and girls who at like top 1% HOT. Those top 1% girls are much more demanding than your average girl.
    An average girl you can treat nice and she will like you. A top 1% HOT girl you must treat like trash for her to like you.
    I didn't make the rules. It's just how the game works. Don't go treating average girls like a dick. Only the top 1%.
    There is a huge difference between dating average girls and dating models. A HOT girl can earn lots of money just being a model. The hotter she is, the rarer she is, the more guys are drooling over her, the more psychopathic you must be to catch her attention.
