@manuel bon Mussolini and Hitler were more about tearing things down and building something new Franco was more focused on keeping traditional values like the Church and the monarchy intact. Another reason Franco gets less attention is that Spain stayed out of World War II. Mussolini and Hitler were right in the middle of it, and their drive to conquer new territories was a big part of their fascist identity. Another big difference is that Franco wasn’t as obsessed with pushing a strict ideology. He used the fascist "Falange" early on but as time passed he distanced himself from its more radical ideas. Franco kept Spain neutral and just concentrated on staying in control at home. His regime lasted long after the war, but it shifted more toward a conservative dictatorship, not a full blown fascism like Italy or Germany

Free content is a common marketing strategy ( look at how Leo funneled thousands of people into his Life purpose course), but RSD is not a pyramid scheme. They are notorious for upselling and overcharging though. I mentioned the pitcher plant in the context of hovering around pyramid schemes until you eventually fall for it. RSD is orders of magnitude more valuable than this guy's stuff. They pioneered an entire market.

I finally got a good night's sleep after a week of waking up mid-night for dosing chelators and then couple of days of going to bed really late because I was out at SBK dance clubs My first OBE of the night was by realizing I was in a dream mid- dream and then taking control over it. This is the reallity check that worked for me : Dreams are notorious for not letting you generate any real force or speed when you try to punch. So I was in a conflict with some random dream character, and I was struggling to move freely. I tried to puch him hard but my strenght was obviously capped ( I like to belive that at least lol ) and that insight made me go lucid ( realize I'm in a dream ) . I inmediately took control over my body and started flying. I stumbled upon one of my dance friends. She's not my type but I inmediately had the idea of having astral sex. I thought , hell nah, I want a cuter girl . I had a specific name in mind , set the intent to see her. I teleported to a room but it happened to be empty 😔 The sensations of the astral body were starting to get weak. I reloaded the sensations by touching and scrutinizing the walls and rubbing my hands together in front of my face. It worked, I gave some more life to the realm , but I didn't have another plan of action so I just stood there and looked at at the floor, which happens to be a bad thing to do in the astral realm ( it will kick you out if you focus too strongly on a single visual sensation ) So with full awareness, I went from looking at the floor, to a smooth transition that morphed into staring and my bedrooms ceiling. But by now I understand that false awakenings are very common ( you think you have woken up but actually you're still in The phase ) Even though It seemed I was awake, I tried body separation techniques. I try to roll out of my body. It works with a little effort, but I think I only did it partly because I wasn't moving very smoothly. I stumble towards by bathroom mirror. My vision wakes up. I look at myself in the mirror. At first glance I see myself , but then I had a thought in the back of my mind that said " maybe I'll look creepy in the mirror " and indeed, after that thought and further focusing on my face in the mirror, my face looked creepy and I got scared and woke up. I didn't try to go for a third OBE but I should have. I fell asleep. It took me about 3 hours of being awake to remember this had happened, woah . TBH astral sex seems to be an amazing genuine motivation to master this skill. I can definitely sense how can I leverage that desire for mastering the astral realm. I may have to mark this thread as PG 18 eventually lol If I truly sense this this is inapropiate behavior in the realm I'll look for something else to be my main focus, but it does not seem to be a problem at all. But besides that, there are other cool things that you can do like " self - healing " ( taking some medicine and inmediately feeling the results, like a placebo on steroids ) and obtaining information ( looking up some information online, asking someone or the best and most direct one, simply " remembering it " . There is so much more.

this is partially true but that naiveness is what gets people groomed into being taken advantage of over time as they consume more and more of the content and build more and more trust. consuming the content and observing from a distance is the gateway drug per se. Just like a Pitcher Plant does, you get baited by the sweet nectar of free content and motivational speeches, and then you slip down into their grift funnel bait

Yeah I live In Spain as well. I'm seriously disappointed for how little people see through his BS Stay the f* away from that guy, he's the Spanish speaking wannabe Tate, exploiting people in literally the same pyramid scheme and cultish ways. The problem with these guys is that there is a tiny bit of inspirational advice, sometimes in a condescending tone, that resonates with people that lack discipline or are stuck in a rut, but then it's covered with a massive ammout of grift, lies and BS , which manipulate gullible, vulnerable, ideological, immature , lost men and take advantage of them in really insidious ways . And then these people themselves ( Llados, Tate, Pat bet-david) are too ignorant to see the degree of their grift and deceptiveness, so of course they act totally congruent, so you really believe them and can't see any degree of Ill intent or dishonest communication. They really believe they are helping the world. They believe their own BS. It's always like that with these pyramid scheme guys. Don't fall for this guy's BS. Some of his words may make sense but he runs a literal pyramid scheme, and these people always justify their actions because pyramid schemes work. Yeah , they work for the people at the top 5%. If you don't see the problem In that it's because you haven't been exploited bad enough enough times yet

This is not from the book, but a similar scenario. Absolutely gut-wrenching story

if you're in some EU country where it's absolutely free and you get paid for going, have no real passions and interests yet and have no worth etic or self-reliability, there is no shame in plugging into the system. Not all people are suited for going solo and having unique careers ideally your career or LP is at last somewhat aligned with your uni studies

do you really find that meaninful and something that drives you and you're passionate about? or do you only wish you found it meaningful? I don't see how you could fulfill this through art. It's pointing you into medicine or biology in your case

whats the most meaningful impact you can imagine having on the world as of now?

I had 4 short dreams tonight. All of them slighly drama oriented. I didnt manage to go lucid by realzing im asleep. Im running on very low sleep because of consistently waking up at night to take the chleator doses. Low sleep seems to be conunter productive for OBEs I woke up once mid night and as soon as I was conscious and without moving a muscle, I tried cycling body exit techniques as recommended, but they didn't work, whic is okay. Im suposed to cycle 3 techniques at least 4 times during that first minute of waking up, for around 5 seconds each. Commanding myself to " fall asleep deeper " + doing a body exit technique felt like was almost doing something ( as recommended actually recommended by Michael from the video above ) I feel the reason is that I genuienly feel a slight level of fear when doing it, and my intent is not 100% on spot. I can sense myself not really wanting to do it. I must truly 100% desire it, there is no way to deceive myself around this. I remember couple of days ago, I was in the same situation but I genuinely doubled down on the desire to do it, and I made it happen.

Check out kill tony on YouTube, you've got infinite content right there My fav one so far

After listening to all these debates on truth and postmodernism, I can't help but think cows have better metaphysics than most philosophers and human thinkers. The cows are constantly saying 'Mu' , far more profound than all the intellectual gymnastics here, but no one seems to get it But props to both of them , at least their hearts seem to be in the right place in the search of higher understanding,. I'd love to see Thaddeus debating this cow. How long would it take him to understand ? Would he ever solve the koan of debating post-modernism with a cow?

OBEs are most common just before waking up. That sounds like a random dream where you went lucid by realizing you're inside a dream. Whatever you expect or imagine becomes reallity in that realm. If you think or belive electricity wont work, it wont work. You get lost in the dream and fall asleep from the lucid state if you dont have a plan of action and dont scrutinize the sensations inside the dream. Sensations are the fuel for mantaining the experience going. You need to have an action plan and consciously move towards it. If you're interested, watch that 3 part series on OBEs, it will anwser most of your quesitons if you are curious. But if it's not something you're interested in, stay away. Playing with whacky ideas may be conunter productive for your quality of sleep.

Social skills coaching with an experienced coach is really valuable. No ammount of talk therapy or online coaching is as effective as infield training, but the 4k for 3 days is overpiced unless its 1 on 1 and you have cash to burn, and you are a hardcase newbie. And even then there is only so much transformation that can happen in 3 days. An experienced wing is even more valuable, but may be difficult to find a quality one. Where are you based? EU, US? Living in a good city is key for developing social skills. Do you have that going for you ?

Had three short normal dreams tonight. I didn't manage to realize I was dreaming. A good time of thumb from now on is instinctively realize reality checks when feeling fear or confusion, even irl, to embed the habit and do it while mid dream for me to go lucid I'm on little sleep because I'm waking up at night to take the heavy metal chelator doses ( unrelated) and my mind is a little hyper. In a few days I expect some more concrete experiences. If I feel intrusive paranoid thoughts creeping up, reminding myself that it's all my mind and not other entities is helpful. Whatever your mind focuses on becomes really in the phase, that's why it's key to know how to deal with your thoughts and emotions. Getting in a blissful state works for dissolving negative emotions

It is in terms of the definition I provided above, and what OP mentioned he would like to experience. This is what I believe to be closest to what he's asking for. In terms of experiencing beyond 3D + space-time in physical terms, I am cluess obviously

@Eskilon check out my out of body experiences journal. I share resources there for you to learn to have your own OBEs . It seems to be a more common ability for people than it seems. Pretty cool talk on physics + spirituallity , timestamped get yourself one of these : or just rub your eyes pretty hard and experience some Phosphene eye fractals

Normal human life is in 4 dimensions. 3 of space (length, width, height) and one dimension of time (or spacetime as called in Einstein's theory of relativity) Bashar ( an ET from the 5th dimension , channeled by Darryl Anka, if you want to belive that ) describes dimensions as "vibrational states" that reflect different levels of consciousness, existing simultaneously rather than being separate places. Time is seen as an illusion, a construct that allows us to experience events in a linear fashion, but in higher dimensions, time is more fluid or non-existent. All realities exist in the present "now moment," and by shifting our "vibration", we can access other dimensions or parallel timelines. This is part of an evolutionary process, sometimes called "ascension," where humans are moving from a primarily 3D perspective (focused on physicality and separation) to higher dimensions, where reality becomes more fluid, connected, and responsive to thought, just like in lucid dreams or astral projection, or even common dreams. Bashar says that our beliefs and emotions are the primary tools for dimensional shifting, and by aligning with excitement, joy, and passion ( this is a huge part of his message ) , we can access higher states of consciousness and reality. He also mentions that we are multi-dimensional beings, with aspects of ourselves already existing in higher dimensions.

The goal here is to manually evolve your brain at a physical level to more "human" and less CHIMP by strategically avoiding some things while actively pursuing others. You all have heard about Dopamine Detox challenges by now. The thing is that a lousy 1 month will not make that much permanent change in your brain. Your brain has to literally change at a physical level. I know Leo doesn't believe in abstaining from Cornography or even fappin' , but everyone is different genetically. If you're more like me, hear this out and have a look at the website below. I chronically struggle with ambition, motivation and focus. I've blamed it on genetics and heavy metal toxicity. But its obviously not the entire story. Given my life circumstances, I have spent decades bombarding my brain by hyperstimulating it with Videogames, fast paced videos, hyper-palatable food, cornography and social media. Even using a laptop or a smartphone are big dopamine providers, and so is searching the internet or using chatgpt. Infinite novelty at your fingertips . All of this this deeply rewires the brain and specificaly your neural pathways. Your dopamine pathways and your reward system literally rewire. You become desensitised to dopamine and need unnaturally large ammounts of it to feel its effects. You become unable to engage with tasks that you know are good for you but are not stimulating enough. One prime example of decreased dopamine sensitivity is Porn Induced Erectile Dysfunction ("PIED"). This website is a gold mine on practical neuroscience and surprisingly insightful. https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/miscellaneous-resources/start-here-evolution-has-not-prepared-your-brain-for-todays-porn/ The good news is that neuroplasticity is a thing. You can rewire your brain again and unhook it from dopamine hyperstimulation, but it takes time . We are talking anywhere from 2 to 24+ or more months for decent results. Only you can decide if this this change is something you need. This list may sound cliché but it is what it is . THE GOAL IS TO REWIRE YOUR NEURAL PATHWAYS OVER TIME, not to rob your life of joy. Once you have succeded, you will get joy from a new set of activities and behaviors. More natural and healthy activities. I find neuroscience super interesting. You can plow CHATGPT for hours about it . Eliminate or minimize : multitasking, videogames, gambling, fast paced videos , watching content, scrolling for deals, porn, softporn, fantasizing about sex, sugar and hyper-palatable food, checking social media ( yes this forum counts ). Smartphone use . Fapping and edging also bathes your brain in chemicals for hours. You decide how far to take this. If you struggle with low libido, lack of intimate relationships and so on, I suggest that you give it a try. An abstainance into binging cycle actually rewires your brain worse because the dopamine hits you harder. It is one of the main components of an addiction. Same with videogames, gambling or social media where the reward is random and not constant, or even worse, when the reward is skill depending but has an element of luck, and also provides social validation and a sense of pride. Things you can do : Take high quality Omega 3, Meditating for training focus, physical exercise, being in nature, socializing, hugging, having actual sex ( maybe hold off if you have PIED until your brain rewires), laughter with other people, taking cold showers, holding uncomfortable stretches and resisting discomfort, learning new languages and skills, pursuing self defined meaningful goals, cleaning your room, taking care of an animal or other people, getting inmersed in a single task at once. Cold approach and anything that builds your willpower is exactly what you want. In simple terms, you can think of it as building yourself focus and willpower muscles while you weaken and atrophy your impulsivity brain muscles. Again, sounds extremely cliché but I find it absolutely fundational. How do you do any of this work if you cant focus, dont have motivation nor energy?? Imo it's even more insidious than permanently living on junk food. Purposefully limiting or abstaining from something as awesome as hilarious meme compilations, super entretaining video games , mind blowing cornography, your smartphone or social media DELIBERATELY is a very noble decision in my opinion. It's a very personal choice in the end. No one is forcing you to anything.

A roof is important But I'd love to have a massive skylight to stargaze at night

This is not some simple Youtube Drama. These people uncovered secret under the dable deals between the heads of YT and the Russian Kremlin's world wide 39 YT propaganda channels. In a nutshell, these channels funded directly by the kremlin chronically inflict blatant copyrighy infringements earning over a million dollars PER MONTH while spreading propaganda and missinformation all over the world. The kremlin has stated that if they do ban the channels they will frame it as an ATTACK on russian media. These channels HAVE to be terminated according to YT's own policy BUT instead of YT being simply a passive video platform they decide to take matters into their own hands and bend the rules, manipulate and lie. It's no surprise corruption and nepotism go hand in hand. I strongly recommend this one in spite of it being almost 2 hours long. It's beautifully eloquent and the hard work of the production is admirable. Very insightful.

@UpperMaster

In cold approach, trying to be smooth is your absolute worst enemy. Embrace the spontaneity of the situation and let the chips fall where they may. Think about it, even if you were in your absolute very best mood and had a peachy life, you still could have awkward and cringe interactions. You can have a degree of influence over the interactions, which comes with experience and luck, but never full control of the outcome.
