Getting into Spirituality Too Early (A trap I fell into)
Getting into Spirituality Too Early (A trap I fell into)I would like to share with you guys a trap that I fell into in my life; getting into spirituality too early.
When I was 23 years old, I graduated college and had an existential crisis. I didn't know who I was outside of my college self and didn't know what to do with my life. I started to dabble in the self help field, watching lots of Leo's videos and reading some self help books. I also got a job at a Telecommunications company (which my mom basically handed to me I might add) and I started working long, stressful hours. The first couple of years flew by.
When I was 25, I decided to quit and spend all of my money on traveling and self help books, I coasted by for a couple of years, living off of COVID unemployment money, money that I had saved up, and some odd jobs. This is when I started to get into spirituality. I read all of Jed Mckenna's books, The Book of Not Knowing, Conversations with God and I listened to every one of Leo's videos on Spiritual Enlightenment. I was blown away by the material and am still fascinated as to what this state of consciousness is and how I can get there.
This seems like a nice trajectory that I've taken, but there are a couple of major problems with it. I know now that I was using spirituality as a distraction from the authentic desires that I held for creating a successful dating life and also finding my life purpose. These spiritual pursuits were not an authentic desire of mine, they were merely being used to avoid the emotional labor that it would take to tackle my dating needs and to find my life purpose. Sure, I now have a nice baseline understanding of what enlightenment is and what techniques can be used to get there, but now at 28 I am basically starting from ground zero in the dating world and I have found my life purpose, but am at ground zero in terms of building this life purpose into a successful career that can earn a sustainable income. As an adult, the evolution of a man's desires should go more or less like this:
1. Get success in the dating world
2. Find your life purpose and create success within it
3. Pursue spirituality / enlightenment
Can you pursue all three at once? Yeah sure, probably.. just be careful that you are not half assing the pursuit of them. If you are going to pursue something, then fully lean into it. That is why it is more ideal to pursue one fully and then move onto the next.
Unenlightened people can be described as living in the dream state, enlightened people have exited the dream state and couldn't go back in if they tried.
Yes, I admit it, I am dreaming, but I am enjoying every delicious, juicy, painful, anxious moment within this dream... and until it is an authentic desire of mine to leave this dream state, I will not pursue it... and neither should you.
I hope someone gets something out of this and best of luck to you all.

The difference between dating in Western countries vs India
The difference between dating in Western countries vs IndiaWell, that's why I would never date nevermind marry a stage Blue girl. Too much dogma. Not worth dealing with.
But also I think you are overstating it. There must be Orange and Green girls in India.

The difference between dating in Western countries vs India
The difference between dating in Western countries vs India1) Big cities in India must have nightclubs, bars, and a liberal social scene.
2) Yes, dating in deeply stage Blue societies is more formal and challenging. Casual dating isn't so acceptable there. You need a stage Orange society to do dating effectively. Dating is a stage Orange notion. Pickup advice is not geared towards places like India, it's geared towards Western parts of the world. Obviously you cannot go to a tribe in the Amazon and start running game or setting up coffee dates. When in Rome you must do as the Romans or they might kill you.
3) Move to where dating is socially acceptable.

The spiral dynamics framework seems flawed
The spiral dynamics framework seems flawedThe spiral dynamics framework has never really resonated that strongly with me, but maybe I'm missing something. I struggle to wrap my head around how stage orange is above blue for example... I've read many near death experiences, probably well over a thousand now, involving people who die, experience the afterlife and then come back. These people often talk with highly advanced beings and get downloads of universal truths, have life reviews etc. In none of them did I ever hear that stage orange characteristics are considered more developed than stage blue type characteristics. On the contrary, stage blue people were generally held as much more developed than stage orange people. This came as a surprise to a few atheists who had NDE's who then discovered that these beings considered their quaint religious neighbours as much more developed than them, even though the atheists thought these people to be pretty dumb.
This one guy was a materialistic atheist and used to make fun of some Christian group on his campus that would go around trying to convert people to Christianity. And there was this one guy who he thought was crazy who was into Yoga and stuff. This atheist died for a few minutes while under surgery, was in shock that there was an afterlife, and beings of light showed him that the bible thumping Christians were miles ahead of him in terms of development... they also showed him that this crazy yoga guy was even higher than them in development which shocked him more... but the point is that I see this repeated a lot in NDE's, that stage blue seems to be held as higher than stage orange.

sharing my chat up line
sharing my chat up lineYou can't verbally trick a girl into getting her number. That's not how game works. You have to actually talk to her and establish an emotional connection so she wants to actually talk to you again.
Learn to have a proper conversation, not childish gimmickery.

Conscious date vs Unconcious date
Conscious date vs Unconcious date@ambrojohn Lol, you're not going to become confident with women without massive experience with women.
The most direct, efficient, and precise way to get comfortable with dating is by going on tons of dates.
Your inner game will self-correct as you become proficient at outer game. Each successful date will make you more and more comfortable doing future dates to the point where dating will be as easy as driving your car. You won't even think about it.

Conscious date vs Unconcious date
Conscious date vs Unconcious dateDude, you're just not present because you're inexperienced with girls and they make you anxious and in your head. That's how many guys are.
That is solved by dating way more girls until you stop being anxious around them.

Conscious relationships, resources required
Conscious relationships, resources requiredHello friends,
In Leo's last vedio I came across the concept of conscious relationships, and I had a deep realisation which I was pondering about since many years actually, however I will bring this to light and work on this now.
I have been always wondering why I always have issues with people and don't really get along forever. I have lost many people along the way in a sense like at some point they were so close to me but now are Indifferent.
I don't have an issue with intimate relationships as I spent a lot of time and energy working on that but the boat got a bit off-balance with friendships
I'm talking about friends here.
I feel that I want to have really deep and rewarding friendships and maintain them.
Please help me build realtionships and maintaining them by sharing various techniques, I will research and share some techniques too.
For starting this journey im journaling on my one note journal, I have made a new section of relationships and made a subpage friends and another one as colleagues.
I will be writing certain notes or key points to each and every person here. Would this be a good idea ?

Self-Love on DMT
Self-Love on DMTI finally bought a DMT pen after a year break. I was vaping in my room, windows opened, little rain outside. I did a few hits and my mind came up with an interesting idea: to look at the mirror while I'm tripping. I did one big pull and came as close to the mirror as I could. I was staring directly in the eyes. After a few seconds my pupils dilated: I realized I'm God. As I was looking at myself I felt deep God's love for itself. I really Am God. I was also seeing some sort of light that was all over my body. I was shining. I could see every detail on my face, every hair on my face and eyebrows. I realized that I'm perfect. I look perfectly. My face and my body perfectly imagined by God. I took all my clothes (except for the underwear) and I begun to observe my body. As I was looking at it I realized that I'm extremelly hot and sexy as f. I then looked again into my eyes and I fell in love with myself. I was a thousand time more attracted by myself then by every hot women I had seen.
I'll do it on 5-MeO-DMT next time.

Neuralink / AI will wipe my life's work clean? (Maybe yours too?)
Neuralink / AI will wipe my life's work clean? (Maybe yours too?)Lol
You are worrying about a silly non-issue.
Neuralink will not be widely available in our lifetime and it will not solve any of people's psychological bullshit.
Maybe it will help some disabled person push a button on a computer. That's about it.

Why do PUAs tell us things that are absurdly oversimplified or just blatantly false?
Why do PUAs tell us things that are absurdly oversimplified or just blatantly false?Looks matter, but if you get hung up on that you will have way less sex in life than you would otherwise.
The way your mind thinks highly affects how much sex you will have in life.
If you are not careful you will think your way into lifelong inceldom. This is what incels refuse to admit.
Your looks are whatever they are. The only reasonable thing to do is to accept it and go talk to girls all the same. The only other alternative is endless miserable whining.

Advice for best way to smoke 5meo dmt freebaseYou gotta vaporize it, not burn it.
Buy a high quality very large butane torch. The kind used for cooking and baking.
Simple glass pipe works perfectly.
HCl will burn more than vaporize. Freebase is easy.

Has DMT helped with your depression?
Has DMT helped with your depression?Psychedelics are certainly worth a try in your case. Everyone is unique so you won't know until you try.
Mushrooms or LSD or ketamine might be a better starting point. DMT is pretty advanced and doesn't last very long.

New War In Israel / Gaza
New War In Israel / GazaIf you are asking this question you clearly don't appreicate how seriously Jews take their relgion.
If Jews were purely rational then we'd be dealing with a very different creature.
We're dealing with a very Stage Blue culture there.

Green transcends identification with one's race, realizing that all races have equal merit.

How do you make sure that you are always appropriate?
How do you make sure that you are always appropriate?Do it and see what you can get away with.
Google for "Kino escalation ladder" and follow that.
Touching hands, arms, and shoulders is very safe. Touch in a non-sexual way.

Guys! Stop Seeing It As A "Rejection".
Guys! Stop Seeing It As A "Rejection".The problem isn't in the rejection per se, the problem is that the guy is investing energy and the girl doesn't get attracted and chooses another guy instead. Which obviously doesn't feel good.
The bottom line is that the girl is filtering out the lower quality guys. So it's not merely apples vs oranges. The lack of attraction IS based on objective factors. The more a guy fall into the low quality zone the worse it feels precisely because it feels like he is getting rejected for objective qualities which he inherently lacks.
Of course the solution is to not care, but this becomes hard if no one wants to sleep with you.

If looks for guys are not that important why pretty girls tend to date attractive guy
If looks for guys are not that important why pretty girls tend to date attractive guyLook, the reality is that there is a sexual marketplace. Every actor in this marketplace is trying to maximize value. This being the case, of course the highest value actors will tend to hook up with other high value actors.
If you got no game and low social value, then yeah, your looks matter more because you got little else of value to offer.
For looks not to matter so much you gotta develop either game or social value. Ideally both.
The real question here is: How much value are you bringing to the negotiating table as a man? This value can take many different forms, from status to friends to leadership skills to spiritual connection to looks.
When people hook up through dating apps they are basically sorting themselves by looks.

What is the ultimate fear?
What is the ultimate fear?Ultimate fear is realizing you are all. There is nobody else to share your being with. Everybody, every time and every thing is something you are imagining right in this timeless eternal moment. Ultimate fear is realizing that the hopes you had of seeing your son grow up is a sham, because your son is someone you imagined! Ouch! Ultimate fear is realizing true ramification of Oneness.
