This may be technically true but it's way too reductionistic because most of your life is wrapped up in meaning you create.
For example, if your business collapses you will not feel any physical pain, however the mental suffering can be immense as you have to face serious loss and you have to reflect on things you did which caused its collapse. You cannot just take the position that "oh, well, it's just a story in my mind". No, it's much more serious than that because the stories in your mind determine whether you live or die.
There is much suffering to be had simply from reflecting on your on inadequecies. So what are you gonna do, not reflect on your own inadequcies and mistakes? You gonna ignore them in order to feel at peace? That's not gonna go so well. Imagine how you'd feel if you were pulling out of your driveway and accidentally ran over someone's child. Are you gonna sit down and silence your mind to meditate your way out of that?
And what about all stuff in your life that you could lose? Are you just gonna act like nothing happened if your house burns down? If your child or dog is run over by a car? If your health is ruined by poison? If your spouse dumps you? If your best friend steals from you?
There is endless suffering waiting for you behind every corner. You just aren't aware of it yet.

Yeah, well, life is a dream. So what? The power of the dream should not be underestimated.
If you think awakened people can't get addictions I think you're kidding yourself.
You still have to be vigilant against bad habits otherwise you will end up like Alan Watts, an awakened alcoholic who drinks himself to death.
Awakening is not a get-out-of-jail-free card.

It boils down to: I have an autoimmune disorder, it is grounded in genetics, and there's not much I can do to change it so I have to live around it. The details are too complex and private for me to go into it.

I would say that this won't really happen. You will not become a completely new person. The core of you will stay the same. But you will become a more evolved, more mature version of you.
The truth is that after 15+ years of personal development and spiritual work the core of me has not changed. I'm still me in very deep ways. But also I've grown up a lot. It's rather paradoxical. An important part of this work is deeply accepting who you are, not trying to totally change yourself. The human mind is not flexible enough to totally change itself. Especially once you reach about age 30, much of who you are is set for life. But you can do a lot of refinement of yourself and polish off the jagged edges.

You'd have to be insane to make up a story like that.
It sounds legit to me.
Thanks for sharing your perspective.

I understand your concern.
Let me share this story with you to cheer you up:
My grandparents got married when they were around 16. They lived together into their 80s. When my grandmother died my grandfather said, I just want to die and be with her. A few years later he did. They were buried next to each other.

@integral Look, girls are girls. Rather than trying to retrain your GF it will be better for your relationship if you accept her as she is. Girls can be very emotional regardless of how spiritual they are.
Of course you can teach her some of these concepts but she has to be ripe for it and it will take her a long time to train herself even if she wants to, which it doesn't sound like she does. Expecting a girl to just deconstruct her emotions like some Buddhist is a tall order.

My default state is not much different than it ever was. But I understand what I am looking at, which is God. The more I focus on it the more I get in tune with God, so to speak. But many times throughout my day I am not focused on God, I am busy with other things.
What I have more of is not a state but an understanding of what everything is. Understanding is different than a state. Understanding has been the core of my work. In the future I will work more on my state because now my understanding has started to max out. But this required years of work.

I don't like being pushy either.
Pushing yourself at the open on a girl is actually counter-productive and bad game.
What you should be doing instead is opening the girl in a fun way and quickly getting a sense of how receptive she is. Sometimes you open a girl and her whole face lights up and her body opens up to you and it's just on. That's what you want to screen for. If the girl is not very receptive, don't waste your time, move on to another girl. This is the most efficient way to game.
Now, with that said, sometimes you open a girl and she's just sorta shy, not too hot for you, and needs to be warmed up. In which case you carry on with banter and fun conversation. And you keep it going until she starts to show interest. As long as a girl is willing to talk to you there is no problem with you talking. That's not pushy. You're just being social and she's open to it.
The whole key to great game is being able to read the girl's face, reactions, and body language. Once you get good at this you don't need to push or harass girls, you can tell within minutes or even seconds whether to keep talking or walk away.
Basically, if the girl is smiling you keep plowing and if the girl is frowning then you leave. This ensures that she doesn't feel harassed. And if a girl pushes you away or tells you to leave, you just leave. Don't keep pushing.
But beyond talking you also need to learn to lead and bounce the girl around. Don't just stand in one place talking for 30 minutes. You talk for 5 minutes and then lead her to another place. When you suggest to a girl to move with you, you can immediately gauge how compliant she is. If she likes you she will move with you. Otherwise she won't. So start testing girls for this by just taking them by the hand and moving them.
Bottom line: If a girl is willing to talk to you, you keep talking to her. Then 5-10 mins later you suggest moving together. And if she refuses, then that's your clue that she's not very interested and you can save your time and talk to other girls. Sometimes it takes longer to get a girl to move. Maybe 20 minutes of talking. It's up to you to decide how much time you want to invest in a girl. But if you cannot get her to move within 20 mins then she's probably never sleeping with you.
When your game gets really good it's not pushy at all, it's about really vibing with the girl. You create this fun vibe between each other and then it's so on that being pushy isn't even a factor. You two are just having fun talking and moving together. That's the ideal. There has to be passion between you two. I recommend you change your whole mindset when approaching to one of: vibing, fun, passion! That's what you're attempting to create. And then it's just a matter of finding that one girl in the room who's into it. You will clearly see when a girl is into it. You will have her attention. Her eyes will lock on you. Her body will become open to your touch. She will be grinning from ear to ear. And at the point you can escalate heavy.

It's no different than a nightclub. Just walk up to girls, smile at them, say Hi, and get physical.
You can meet all kinds of cool people at any nightclub, bar, or social venue. Don't judge, just have fun.
The louder the venue the more you rely on eye contact, facial expressions, and physical touch. See how far you can get without even talking much. Just vibe with her. You should not be having deep conversations at a rave. It's about partying, dancing, and having fun.

● I used to have crippling social anxiety, even getting off a bus, going to class, and of course talking to girls. This is 90% gone after two years and this alone has done so much for my life. I use to get very frustrated when people told me you have to live with it. I rejected that flat out.
● A lot of health benefits. Overcoming eating problems, dropping ALL supplements, and eating about 60% of what I used to and still maintain my size. I'm 186cm, 94kg and 14% body fat. Extremely active, bouldering, jiujitsu, powerlifiting and I eat almost half as much without losing ANY weight. 
● Sleeping less, and taking less shits lol. It has also enhanced digestion. Maybe 7 hours of sleep which again is crazy for my level of activity. 
● Had very bad OCD (diagnosed) and perfectionism. OCD is almost totally gone. I can plan compulsively sometimes but I don't check the door 50 times in the morning so it's been so liberating. 
● The desire for porn, coffee, eating meat, watching TV, alot of this stuff just naturally fell away. I didn't try to do anything. Sex drive probably halved.
● More frequent non-dual experiences. For example, walking down the street, I suddenly feely merged with everyone around me. Frequent episodes of bliss and love but it's not awakening. 
● A more elusive one, but it's easier to get what I want in life and I am generally much happier. Better emotional states. Feel more balanced and capable.
● I also have a deeper sense now that I don't really need to do anything in life. I just feel fulfilled. I don't feel obliged to help anyone or do anything and I don't think it dictates my worth as a human.
● I have become a catalyst for growth for everyone around. After people spend some time around me they usually want to change. Major impact on family.
I credit a lot of my progress to reading Dr Hawkins book about surrender and for years I took surrender and kriya yoga EXTREMELY seriously. I did it religiously. Sometimes I was doing kriya yoga three times a day. It was addictive.
I have always wanted to make a video about this but I'm afraid people will call me a pseudo scientist full of shit etc... lol

Because that has been my mission for a long time and I still have things I wanna communicate.
I'm not just gonna throw away something I spent 10 years building. It's like a child to me. You don't just abandon your child when things get hard.

My suffering is not a mistake! It's core to this work! How else do you think something this crazy can be achieved?
There cannot be a utopian city without a pile of crying little girls. The one makes the other.
I'm demonstrating to you how serious growth actually looks and feels, not the fantasies you were promised. In 20 years, when I reach my final form, I want there to be a long trail of evidence of what hell I had to go through to reach it.

I don't know how to explain it. His work is of amazing quality.
In the end, all I can say is that what Buddhists are pursuing and attaining, while beneficial and great in many ways, is not the same thing as the kinds of high awakenings I have had. And no amount of debate is going to change that. There exist levels of consciousness which cannot be reached through manual practice but only psychedelics. And this is the best kind of consciousness. Unfortunately I don't have a method for making such states permanent. I have been exploring this domain because I was hoping to find such a way, but I have been unsuccessful so far.
My ultimate hope was to develop a totally new kind of path. But there's no guarantee such a thing exists.
My work has been about finding new stuff. There is no point in my reinventing Buddhism. Anyone who wants Buddhism knows how to do it. I was hoping to discover something else.

That's the trick. It's very hard to put into words. I am developing a course to guide people to it.
What I am talking about is so advanced and profound that I cannot put it into words and it is not enlightenment or centerlessness.
Sorry, I know that's not useful to hear.
You become conscious of God as an Infinite Mind dreaming up reality.
The biggest difference between the consciousness I talk about and Buddhism or enlightenment is that enlightenment is reductionistic. It boils consciousness down to emptiness. Whereas what I am talking about is a top-down, non-reductionistic process of God comprehending itself. When you boil God down to emptiness is as Buddhist methoda do, that's a very different thing and inferior in my book.
I explained this in my video: An Advanced Explanation Of God-Realization where I made a distinction between Buddhism's reductionism vs top-down comprehension. Stop trying to boil consciousness down to some kind of empty substance. That is the wrong direction to go if you want to understand consciousness.
Really, the best way to explain it is: do 300 trips of 5-MeO-DMT and notice that that's not Buddhism. It's a totally different level of consciousness. The things I am pointing to can only be understood with massive psychedelic experience. A Buddhist will never understand it. It cannot be explained to him. And that's where this conversation ends. Words are not up to this task. You must actually do the technique, which is psychedelics. People keep expecting me to explain it to them without them doing the technique.

@StarStruck Watch out, you are engraining a toxic attitude towards women which will make it impossible to have successful and loving relationships with them. You are falling into the classic trap of pickup. Endlessly chasing hot girls is not going to lead to a happy life.
Be fair to your future self and develop some depth and integrity.

So what???
Of course you will have random negative interactions with some humans throughout your life! You cannot carry that trash around with you for 20 years! Just look at what you are doing.
Yes, some girls behave badly. Some men behave badly. People make mistakea. That is society. 95% of people behave well and are friendly. Focus on that.
You are engaged in a blame game. This is not going to help you grow. Just interact with girls expecting the best and enjoying yourself, without needing them to be a certain way. It's like you need, need, need them to like you, or treat you well, or give you things, or to be fair to you. Drop all that and just have fun socializing.

You have been taught a very poor, shallow version of Christianity. If you actually make an effort to study serious mystical esoteric Christianity you will realize that Christianity means You are God.
It's that simple.
But the Christianity you were taught was just dogma and nonsense spoken by people who never actually had direct experience of God. They didn't know what they were teaching.
As Jesus told you, the kindgom of heaven is within. What that means is is that you are God, if you go deep within.
You need to question and desconstruct every ideas humans told you about God and spirituality. Question everything until you discard all ideas. Then you will be left with raw direct experience or pure consciousness. That's the real God. CONSCIOUSNESS IS GOD. And all ideas about it are irrelevant.

Of course height is not gonna be a big factor in online dating if you got a great face, great hair, and great physique.
Height is not as important for getting laid as guys like to imagine. Especially because many hot girls are short. So even if some of the taller girls turn you down you can always find some really hot short girls and they won't mind your height much if you got other great features.
And conversely, height alone without great face, hair, etc will not get you laid. No girl is gonna sleep with a guy just because he's very tall. Height is a nice bonus but it's not a dealbreaker. Most of my wings were average height and all of them were shorter than me. Being too tall can actually make you look skinny and not as attractive. What matters more than your height is having a nice balanced ratio between your height and bulk.
What gets you laid in online game is having a cute/handsome face.

1) Stop being so cheap. If she doesn't pay you for this trip, so what? You had sex a couple of times and hung out. That alone is worth quite a bit to you.
2) If you're going to be splitting bills with a girl, do it right on the spot, or alternate who pays. Don't tally up a long tab and then expect her to pay for it long afterward.
3) If a girl is broke and doesn't even bring her wallet with her, that tells you that you shouldn't expect to ever get any money from her. At that point if you want to pay for her just be honest with yourself that this is your gift to her. And you can then get her to "pay" in others ways but placing more demands on her like cleaning your house or whatever.
4) If this girl agreed ahead of time that she was gonna pay you later, then don't badger her about it. Give her some time to pay. It sounds like she will do it if she's an honest, ethical person.
5) You need to judge ahead of time whether the girl you're sleeping with is ethical or not. Some girls are super ethical and can be trusted, others are not. So just understand the kind of girl you're with early on.

There are better chemicals for that purpose.
5-MeO-MIPT, 2C-B, MDMA, LSD, etc.
You'd have to test them out and see what works best for you. It's hard to give you one clear answer.

They have certainly flown around for thousands of years. But what is a caveman gonna do with a crashed UFO?
The UFO topic is a big deal now precisely because we got the tech and science to make sense and use of it.

If they were evil they would have killed us all long ago.
It seems like the US government has developed a radar system with an energy beam that causes these UFOs to crash. That's one explanation for Roswell I heard. It's quite possible the goverment has found ways to shoot these things down.
They could also be landing rather than crashing.

There's only so much profoundity to be had. I can't just keep pulling endless profundity out of my ass. There's only so much worth saying about certain topics until they are exhausted.
The very cutting edge dangerous stuff I will put in the course. But even there, there's not endless amounts of it.
I still have many topics to cover but it's gonna mostly be non-spiritual topics.

Not all valuable things are built bit by bit. Your main things like career can be worked on 8hrs+ per day.
If you are working hours at a time on a thing you can create some amazing results within just 2-4 years.
But other things require a slower development time with less hours.
Also, I recommend you don't be too rigid about all this. I have rarely ever followed some strict schedule where I only work on one thing between the hours of X-Y for Z years. It tends to be much more messy and organic in practice.
