  1. Kundalini Remedy
    Got initiated into Kriya Yoga
    I've had kundalini awakenings before I knew what they were. I think there is a lot of dramatization with the whole thing.
    It's wild but you'll be okay in the end. Kundalini is the embodied consciousness of physicality, ground up consciousness, instead of top down consciousness, it's the whole body awakening like hitting an asleep cobra with a stick.
    If someone is worried of messing up the kundalini, buy a good rudraksha mala and wear it. That really helps a lot, from newbies to pros, Rudraksha helps everyone in this energetic process. I wear hundreds of Rudraksha seeds on me right now, it's one of my well kept secrets. Rudrakshas by themselves will handle and guide your kundalini better than other methodologies.
     

  2. Attracting hot women
    Attracting hot women
    The whole mindset of rating people is wrong. It's going to prevent you from relating to them properly, consciously.
    Even when you think stuff like, "OMG, that girl is a hottie!" That's already warping your ability to relate properly with girls. It's a selfish and immature approach.

  3. Are the large majority of women like "this"??
    Are the large majority of women like "this"??
    Yes. Those feminine qualities create emotional stimulation.
    The problem with being too masculine is that you become too logical and stoic, which is counterproductive to game.
    It's sorta paradoxical. You have to learn to be masculine but also emotionally expressive and playful.
    Gaming girls is akin to playing with children or dogs. You can't do it from a serious or logical place.

    Sadhguru undergoes emergency brain surgery after ‘life-threatening bleeding’
    People will use life purpose to avoid doing a serious inquiry into consciousness.
    (And I'm not saying Sadhguru did that. But I am saying Owen did that).
    Obviously Owen is free to live out his life playing in Maya if he so wishes. I just hoped he was more intelligent than that.
    Live your life however you want. But if you want serious consciousness then that requires deconstructing certain illusions. This doesn't mean life purpose is wrong, but you will want to become conscious of its true nature and how it is part of your survival game.
    Most people are very deeply stuck playing in Maya. Like Elon Musk and all the other billionaires. And that's what Owen is chasing.
    Sadhguru is doing something more advanced.

  5. Healthy vs unhealthy Fears
    Paranoia about getting caught buying or possessing psychedelics
    There is no algorithmic solution. There is no clear line. It's highly relative.
    But in general you can make a distinction between being hijacked by fear vs being wisely cautious. There is a difference between dysfunctional paranoia vs wise caution. If you look both ways before crossing a busy highway, that's not fear, that's wise caution. If you are so terrified of traffic that you refuse to leave your house, that's dysfunctional paranoia. And if you decide to cross the highway without looking because you think traffic is an illusion, you're an idiot.

  6. Fear vs. Caution?
    Fear vs. Caution?
    The difference is, fear is a charged emotion.
    Caution is not emotional. It's more of a cool, rational understanding and premeditated avoidance.
    If you are standing at the edge of a cliff, you could feel fear or you could not. But just because you feel no fear does not mean you must jump off. You could simply decide not to jump and you could take a step back to be sure a gust of wind doesn't blow you over. That's caution.

  7. Yoga Ideology
    Sadhguru Reveals What Happens When You Live for 84 Years
    He's a very conscious guy.
    But I think he also has a lot of weird Hindu beliefs that he picked up as part of his cultural background. There's a lot of spiritual dogma and mythology that gets drilled into one's mind if you hang around yoga retreats and so on. And if you have a proper guru, he will fill your head will all sorts of untested ideas and myths.
    Just because yoga works doesn't mean it doesn't come with many bad ideas on top of that. In fact, the more it works, the more BS you can add on top of it to fool yourself and others.
    You can be Awake and still have plenty of bad beliefs. Awakening is not a cure-all for self-deception.

  8. How does the illusion of time work?
    How does the illusion of time work?
    You have to be extremely careful to distinguish time from change. Change is more real than time. Change is happening and then time is an imaginary construct projected on top of change. Change does not require time, and in fact change happens within Eternity. Every moment is Eternal, but then this Eternity is hidden from your awareness because you imagine a context for the moment which we call time. Time is you imaginig seconds, minutes, days, weeks, years, past, future, etc. This generates an artificial context for Consciousness which would otherwise be Eternal or timeless. But just because it is Eternal and timeless does not mean it doesn't change. It still flows. But the flow is not happening within any context and hence not within time.
    Time is something the mind constructs and projects onto Consciousness. Likewise with space. Space is a construct, however that does not mean that you cease experiencing a 3D room. The room is still there, but you can strip the room of the projection called space.
    Time and space are more than mere conceptual constructs. They are constructs of a deeper sort. You are literally dreaming time and space into being. But you can also undream them.
    Time and space are contexts for Consciousness, which is naturally context-less unless you construct a context for it. What I mean by context is something like: you can imagine that your experience right now is a VR simulation. That would be you creating a context to situate your raw experience. Or you could remove that context and then you would have no idea what your raw experience is. You would just have raw experience, unexplained by anything, not situated in anything. Not in time, not in space, not in a brain, not in a Universe, not even part of a human life. All those are contexts. And Consciousness in its purest form simply has no context of any kind. Or you could say Consciousness is situated in the NULL context. Which is just another way to say Nothingness. Experience is nothing, nowhere, nowhen, nohow, noway.

    Elliot Hulse is a cult leader right?
    Sounds like its a problem of hyper-masculinity. Attachment to the macho identity.
    Although I haven't watched his videos for about 4 years. Sounds like he's drunk the MGTOW Kool-Aid. Which is a shame. It means he's developing a stage Green shadow a la Jordan Peterson.

    @Dorotheus Great work!
    Now just do that a couple hundred more times.
    Don't worry, you will be amazed at how fast your skills improve.
    Do not be detered by rejection or awkard moments. Those are all totally normal and they don't matter. Get very used to girls rejecting you or ignoring you.
    Work on your body language, strong eye contact, commanding vocal tone, flirty smile, and plowing conservations without ejecting from set.
    Your conversations should be slightly sexually charged. Don't be talking to her like a gay friend. She needs to register within 5 minutes that if she gets in a room alone with you, you're gonna bang her. But do not verbalize sex. This is something she must pick up from your flirty manner and the way you look at her.
    Practice looking at her like you are a lion looking at a juicy gazelle. Get that chemistry going immediately upon approach. Don't be talking to her about work.
    Your goal should be to reach the hook-point in the set, where it is clear that she's attracted to you. It usually takes 0-5 minutes to hit the attraction hook-point. Attraction happens surprisingly fast.

  11. Is suicide the most powerful method for reaching total enlightenment?
    Is suicide the most powerful method for reaching total enlightenment?
    What's the difference?
    Karma is not some mechanism of doling out punishment to bad people.
    Karma is the natural consequence of whatever finite form you have and whatever actions it takes.
    When you throw a rock in the air and it lands on your head -- that's karma.

  12. Dear Leo, after all of your awakenings, is karma real or b.s.?
    Dear Leo, after all of your awakenings, is karma real or b.s.?
    Depends on how you define what karma is.
    If you simply mean that acting selfishly will produce natural negative blowback for you, then of course that's true.
    If you mean that God is somehow inflicting punishment on you for your evil ways, then that is a fantasy.
    Karma is not some kind of perfect or fair universal accounting system. It's possible to be extremely selfish but also lucky in avoiding blowback. But you could also be unlucky and experience extreme blowback to the point of unfairness.

  13. Strategic Thinking After Reading Book Of Not Knowing
    Strategic Thinking After Reading Book Of Not Knowing
    @Dan94 Just keep in mind, Peter Ralston's life purpose was to become a world-class martial artist. And he did that! One of the best in the world. Trained for many years. Alongside enlightenment.
    I once asked Ralston how he managed to navigate this conflict. He looked at me funny and said, "What conflict???"
    So both can be done, and the conflict is really just in your mind.
    Notice that many enlightened people are also masterful at many other things in life, and have thriving careers. The motivation, commitment, discipline, flexibility, passion, long-term planning, and striving towards excellence which is required to reach the deepest levels of enlightenment are exactly the same qualities required for mastery of any other field of life.

    @Bobby_2021 You have a naive view of how capitalism extracts money out of people. It's not just because you buy stuff at the store.
    For example, all these large tech companies have made billions by selling your private data which they effectively stole from the poplution without consent. It's very hard to make billions without cheating someone in the process.

  15. Should I be Concerned about Never Coming Back from a Trip?
    Should I be Concerned about Never Coming Back from a Trip?
    In practice this is true.
    Most of the time when you think you'll never come back, you do come back.
    On the other hand, all it takes is one time to screw yourself.
    It's good to have a healthy fear around taking large doses. Being fearless in this domain is not ideal because you will end up hurting yourself and regretting it.

  16. Is consciousness just awareness?
    Is consciousness just awareness?
    Consciousness is a much more complex and richer thing than merely awareness. Although of course awareness is core to consciousness.
    To understand what consciousness is requires insane levels of awakening. Beyond nonduality and human spirituality. It couldn't be more profound. These so called enlightened people do not understand what consciousness is. Consciousness is a 1000 times more sophisticated than what Buddhists teach.

    Leo, how much do looks influence a man's attractiveness
    You said that you've recently had new insights about attraction and that looks matter to women. I've been wondering with your new understanding how much looks matter to women, and how physical appearance interrelates with a mans charisma, intellect, leadership ability, and other factors.

    Oh, it's gonna be way worse than that. These AI companies will suck up trillions of dollars by exploiting little folk who are powerless to stop them.
    Where do you think that billionaire got his billions? He did it by exploiting others.
    If you let them, these AI companies will enslave you. Of course it will all be done under the pretense of improving the world. Not much different than what happened with factory workers in the 1800s.

    Owen is a worldclass bullshitter. Owen does not get many girls. He struggles to get them. Because of his looks.
    You have to understand that pickup coaches are very biased and untruthful people. They either straight out lie to their students or they themselves are deluded by years of pickup brainwashing.
    Also, if you notice, most of the successful pickup coaches are good looking extroverts. It's not merely their game that's doing the work. Similar to how successful bodybuilders are also coasting off great genetics and fooling you into thinking that it's all their hard work at the gym. No matter how much a regular guy hits the gym he will never be Arnold Schwarzeneggar. Because Arnold had peak genetics that enabled everything else. But fools think that it was all just hard work. You can't hard work you way into peak genetics. Which is why actors, musicians, athletes, and models get paid so much money. It's not just because they work hard. It's because they have peak genetics which 99% can't have. This makes them incredibly valuable comodities.
    Spiritually successful people also coast off their peak genetics, in case you haven't noticed. And so do the best intellectuals. All these things are grounded in having the right genetics. And then these people fool you into thinking otherwise. Many times they themselves are unaware of their innate advatages because they are too close to them.
    You can deny this all you want but in the end it's the truth.
    Be ware, if you turn this truth into a victim mentality, that's on you. I am not saying to do that. My only concern here is how reality actually works, not how you feel about it and how you need it to be for your sake.

    Read what I said before carefully. I said it is possible to compensate for lack of looks.
    Two things are true at once:
    1) Looks matter
    2) You can still get laid with hot girls if you don't have great looks. But it is limited and you are at a disadvantage. Disadvantage does not mean something is impossible.
    You guys are arguing with me other nothing. If you read what I said careful you will see there's nothing to argue over.

  21. Why do ghetto people behave so much differently than other people?
    Why do ghetto people behave so much differently than other people?
    Because survival in a ghetto is very rough. It's like surviving in the desert or a warzone. And their sub-culture reflects that. It's very stage Red levels of development. People behave like animals. Because they don't have many other options.
    Rap music is a good reflection of that because that's where it grew out of. Although much of modern rap is pretty fake.

    Facts Over Feelings: Why Rationalism is Important
    Your rationality has been completely co-opted by ego and selfishness.
    Look inside and you'll see that this is so.
    YOUR RATIONALITY IS RUN BY YOUR FEELINGS! It always has been. You were just too blind to feel it.
    There is no rational reason why you should put food in your mouth. Yet you do so every day.

    Of course you can make money doing that. Addiction recovery is a huge business with people makings tons of money from it.
    Addiction retreats and rehab centers are a huge business.
    This is a great LP if done properly.
