@Leo Gura I'm sure there is!

@Dizzy Yeah, I think I didn't practice the breathing enough beforehand.. and thanks for the kind words @reves Thank you for reading!

@zeroISinfinity Thank you so much. I finally understand what you've been saying all along

The 'you' who wants to break the rules is not the real You. The real You wants the rules to be just as they are.

Fellow Pisces here... this resonates a lot. I've been having this intuition that I've been here for a long time and have lived through a lot. Old soul kind of thing.. had no idea about what you wrote but it does make sense to me. That was a great read, thank you for sharing!

I'm pretty sure that this that you are describing is the retreat I did this weekend. Yes! Jesus, I can totally relate to what you're describing here... I might write about my experience as well soon. Thanks for the great share, welcome to the forum!

I do that thing with my bad shoulder all the time, and it still hurts thanks for the reminder!

There's a subtle but crucial difference between "I don't care what happens", which is what you tried to describe, and "I don't mind what happens", which is what Krishnamurti once said and more closely relates to detachment.

Fascinating stuff! (I can't help but be slightly skeptical, though I'm definitely open-minded and would bet on it being true) What do you mean by infinite beings exactly like me? Are they potential and the one typing this the only one actual? Or are they all actual and manifested somewhere? If so, will they be experienced at some point? I don't think I understand infinity... I hope the questions made sense. And I hope you stick around and keep posting and sharing videos.

@Kensho Thanks for the extra info what do you mean by this, I don't think I understand... Isn't there a danger of overdosing? Could the trip turn dark because of taking too much?

I'm also going on a Ayahuasca ceremony next week. With the opportunity of trying Bufo Alvarius aka 5meo dmt as well. I have no idea what to expect...

I'd say follow your heart. In the end, whatever decision you make will be the right one. Trust it.

Outside of your comfort zone is where you want to go.. IF you want things to change. I understand that it might seem overwhelming but it's absolutely worth it if you try. Good luck, with whatever you end up doing.

Daygame. You don't need friends, a job, bars or clubs to pick up girls. Just walk up to a pretty girl on the street and talk to her. Actually, talk to as many as you can. After you've approached a hundred girls I can give you some theoretical pointers if you want

You've answered your own question. Go meet some girls and enjoy yourself.

Why does the question still remain? It looks like you got it.

@Key Elements I'm quite curious now, which country has that incredibly low divorce rate? My money is on an Asian country, maybe Japan.

I also quit coffee for a few months, maybe three or four, and then decided to start drinking it again. I like the taste and the habit, and for me the perks outweigh the drawbacks. But, unlike you, I did experience an absence of brain fog when waking up after quitting coffee. Brain fog and low energy in the morning are definitely drawbacks, but then I have my first cup of coffee and life is beautiful again

You have to ask yourself: What is fear? What does illusion mean? What is a self? And I don't think anyone says that emotions are not real, I don't agree with that statement at all.

I haven't read it, but Adyashanti was actually the one that has made me understand what Love is, at least for a moment, there was an insight. This is a long video, but he explains it in a way that resonates with me, more than any other teacher who talks about Love. Worth checking out for anyone who is interested in the topic. Adyashanti is such a great teacher, so relatable, he never makes you feel inferior or like you don't know as much as he does.

Now.

I have to disagree, these women exist. Granted, you could say that they are somewhat unconscious, but they exist and I've met some of them.

Approach, approach, approach. Override the fear and approach. It will diminish.

What exactly is meant by Love? If it's not an emotion, what is it? Also, doesn't love need an object? Doesn't the act of loving involve one who loves and something which is loved? How does that fit with nonduality? And finally, how to become conscious of Love?

That's the plan, but I guess I could do some research and see if there's anything else nearby...
