Man you guys are just running circles non stop

Why? Because he doesn’t think psychedelics do either of those?

Just quit now dude, that’s going to drain your life energy and turn into a bitter person as you can already tell. It’ll take years to unwire that damage. 16hour work day is worse than slavery

@Jodistrict Eh not too sure about all that cult stuff. I’ll research it. Who knows? Maybe you’re right, I just know Ralston is def a master in this field and knows his shit. I’ve sat with him

??? ”some people wanna suck on toad juice” dead…

@Jodistrict I would be careful about discrediting Ralston so quickly. The man is a genius and has deep wisdom. He’s probably more conscious than Shinzen. Read the “book of not knowing” and “pursuing consciousness” and then make that claim.

You guys have no understanding of the power of semen retention. I can’t believe it’s even a debate. It makes such a huge difference in tripping but also just say to day being grounded and calm. It doesn’t mean NoFap or Nosex it just means learning to keep your orgasms internal and maintaining your sexual energy

The most effective for interacting with women for me have been LSD and MDMA. I connect so strongly to the feminine sensitivity and her experience. And we can connect so much deeper. But it can go badly if the environment is full of aggressive douche bags Bc your sensitive on that stuff and that energy will come right in. Also shrooms and dancing for hours, after this you will be so confident you can talk to anyone balls out. But you gotta really dance your heart out for hours and not give a shit what anyone thinks. Another good one is a Strong determination sit before the date. But sometimes that gets me too serious

Ralston calling out Leo on this exact topic. I went to a Ralston retreat and have been following Leo for years so it’s interesting to watch this play out. Both have changed my life dramatically so it’s sad to see they can’t agree on this but I guess it makes sense too.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if i had never come across meditation and the pursuit of enlightenment. Meditation has helped me grow in many ways and learn so much about myself and being, but sometimes i feel i am wasting my life chasing it too much. Yoga retreats, meditations retreats, books, youtube all on enlightenement and "healing". Do you guys ever feel the same. Would love to hear your benefits and cons of spiritual work. Mine are Benefits; More ccalm Cooler Grounded in myself More attractive to others More disciplined Sense of purpose More loving Less stress Less anxiety Less negativity More awe and wonder at life Cons; Lots of time spent trying to become enlightened Can be nuerotic about being the witness Disassociation sometimes and other scary spiritual eperiences like questioning my sanity and reality Money spent on retreats (don't mind this though) CONFUSION! The angst of not being enlightened and why do we have to struggle so much for it, seems like a sick game

I am on day 7 on retaining my seed, however, I have begun feeling a lot of excess energy and anxiety. Almost to the point of it making me restless. I am going to try and put this energy into exercise and meditation but my urges to masturbate are getting overwhelming. Any others here have experience with NoFap/Semen Retention? Is it worth it? I kinda miss porn haha, i know it is horrible for my mind, but would be lying if i said it isn't awesome, seeing any fantasy you could imagine live in front of you. My real goal is to be able to find a sex partner but i live a nomadic life, only spending a month tops in a place at a time which makes it hard to establish any lasting relationships. i also live in Central America/ South America mostly so there is a language barrier. All my friends back in the states have "fuck buddies" but to me it is more important to travel, but it would be nice to have. Pick up works pretty well while traveling but gets old having shallow one night stands. Maybe i can find a fellow nomadic female.

@Name i think it's obvious you are addicted to shit, it has clearly rotted your mind

ive been duked

@Kushu2000 you are clearly bitter, maybe awakening has not and will not occur, but let's drop that for a second. Through Leos videos and a TON of self work: -my anxiety is gone -i connect and sleep with tons of women -i never feel depressed -i have tons of energy (surf, gym, yoga, work all in one day) -i live in Bali and completely escaped the rat race -i live in a state of flow and ease -my emotions are calm -i am calm and cool -my diet is on point -no more bad habits -the ability to sit in meditation for hours -i have reached exactly who i have always wanted to be yesterday i cried in the ocean at the beauty of it all while sending my love to every being in the water. You tell me that is meaningless and that this work is a scam. Yeah okay, have fun bitching on the internet, maybe try to have an open mind and change your shitty attitude

I look around at examples of "Alpha-Males" in society and see guys like Connor McGregor, Pablo Escobar, Presidents, etc and think this certainly cannot be correct. I almost think of it terms of monkeys, like they are alpha on a very low conscious level, using violence, anger and fear to gain their positions. However, they still get to rep the power, money, not taking shit from anyone, and ultimately the women, the pick of the litter females. Today i went to feed some monkeys in thailand and there was one who was the alpha, he was fucking any female he wanted and got all the food. he was also the most relaxed and least fearful of all the monkeys, he wasn't worried about shit. I think about this in society, how does a Male be alpha without having to use fear anger and over-powering to do it? I want that position, the women, the money, the respect, but does it have to be done in such a low-conscious way? I know the typical spiritual answer is to "transcend" those desires, but that itsn't how i use spirtuality. I want to be in this world, accept my desires and live them out in the most badass way possible. That means fuck as many hot women as possible, travel, experience life, and basically fuck the world and life. I meditate a lot and do a ton of inner work and have come to this conclusion. I like being a man, l love my desires and ultimately i have to accept my monkey side that wants these things, maybe in the future ill get over it. Anyway, back to my point, what do you define as "alpha"? Is it just being the chill guy who is comfortable with himself? I think nature doesn't lie and if you are truly Alpha, you are fucking a lot of women. Excited to hear your guys thoughts

the way i see it, life is short, why not go all in and make it as intense as possible? An easy life is boring af. I do this consciousness work and it has made starting a biz and fucking girls even more exciting and valuable. Do it your way, it doens't have to be one for the other. You're young theres a ton of fun ways to integrate consciousness while still exploring your 20s like your peers, then when you turn 35 and life sucks for all your friends, you'll have a net of consciousness to fall onto

@Commodent Said it right I also am finding the more inner work i do, the less i care about this idea which used to mean so much to me. I'm not trying to brag. Currently i am 26, i work 3 hours a day and make 70K+/year. I work remotely so i travel constantly, i have romances and girlfirends all the time, i just had a 3sum with 2 brazilian girls, yesterday i decided fuck it and meditated all day in the sun , just to take a nap and then go for a run. i am not constantly blissed out but life is good, and i want it to stay this way. kids would rip all of this away from me, i'd no longer just be living for myself and i enjoy being selfish and having a ton of time to do my own shit. if i had kids the travel would stop, the sex would stop, the money and hence the stress would need to increase, id probably have to hang out with annoying ass other parents that i wouldn't like and would have to listen to their boring bullshit, and the kids, in todays society would be anxious depressed ungrateful shits who look at instagram all day. also there is a chance of one being retarded or having a serious mental condition or car crash or something. fuck it, life is too short, i choose 3 sums

@Apparition of Jack Thanks for your response, that is very thought-provoking and true. I like what you mentioned about the relationships, I've had many a times the drunk hook up and it is very shallow. I like to think that these things will fall into place as i continue my inner work and have seen a few of them actually do that in more conscious ways, good stuff... @LastThursday Very interesting, I have seen the classic scrape off from the Alpha by his friends as far as women go. I do question if it is something i really do want in life, seems stressful and it isn't something i want to get nuerotic about. @Shiva I love that! Interesting indeed how the "Alpha" is no longer just the physically strongest one, there is a lot more at play in human societies as we are more complex. Bill gates for example could probably be having nightly 3 ways with 20 yr old swedish chicks, but he is still at nature a Beta. Also, alphas are quite rare in societies, true alphas, which is why they lead groups of 100s. I think it isn't worth pursuing , and there are levels. Obviously don't get walked on , but no need to try and lead the whole group, that's just not me.

I notice a recurring theme in Leos videos that while unelightened you are basically always suffering sometimes at a very low level, but even if you are having sex or something you enjoy there is still some suffering there. But what about just being? Just sitting in a park looking around, feeling your breath and being mindful, is there still suffering there? It sure doesn't feel like it

Recently i have gotten into deep acceptances of the present moment, my awareness is taking in more and more as i meditate and heal more and i am able to accept it. When i do this with "negative" emotions and cravings, they simple dissapate, not always but sometimes. Is this the same as letting go, just noticing what is and accepting it? I don't want to confuse myself with trying to do the same thing Also, where does each stand on the scale of purification? As i accept many of my nuerotic tendencies and anxieties they seem to loose their strength over me, is this similar with letting go? or the exact same? I feel i am focusing too much on the wording for the same phenomenon

Thanks @Juan Cruz Giusto that's a deep insight, very true about the not caring.

@theking00 be as ridiculous as possible

Hi, I am working on mastering meditation and have probably logged in about 350 hours of sitting meditation over the last 2 years. I am on the track to get to 10,000 hours but am curious. Does it count towards mastery if i am just being mindful throughout the day, can i count that time towards the 10K hours? It is a bit difficult because it is not mastering something like boxing, where the time put into it is tangible. Meditation is in your head so technically if you are really aware and i am sure this would be increasing as you go longer, the hours a day get higher and higher -thanks

A couple weeks ago i posted about struggling with self-actualization, i was in a moment of anger, frustration and fear, and felt hopeless. So i felt obliged to write about how that flipped on its head. A few days after that i went and took some shrooms, this was a tough trip and after i felt depressed and like nothing mattered (victim bullshit) so i had a major ego backlash, i watched SO much porn, drank every night, slept for 10-12 hours a day, stopped meditating and eating healthy, really just said "fuck it" and went all out. It was a good experience, i needed it. The past 2 years i have diligently been pushing myself to keep good habits, meditate , etc and this was my first real fuck it moment and i just let myself give in to all my old bad patterns i have been trying so hard to defeat. In this ego backlash, which lasted about 10 days i slowly starting waking up again, realized how miserable i was becoming, anxieties and shit were all coming back, and i felt this hopelessness. I never said to myself "i have to get back on track!" i did it because i genuinely wanted to, like Leos video "Awareness alone is curative". I came snapped out of it and hit it hard; fasting, semen retention/ no fap, 2 hours of meditation a day, pushing myself to actually just start conversations with random people bc it scared me (which went very well), no tv, no bullshit, no time wasting, working hard, visualizing, journaling, contemplation, gratitude, excersice, the whole fucking lot. I have been doing this about a week now and wow. Holy fucking shit. I can feel such a significant shift, it has brought me to tears multiple times. Finally after 2 years of busting my ass i am seeing the real fruits beginning to bud. I can say i feel so good, just in my body alone, i feel buzzing and warmth all throughout myself like vigorous, i feel calm, i realized today if my company fired me i would be totally fine as long as i have my back, i don't fear as much at all i realize all the fear comes from within and will manifest only as thoughts and feelings which are things i can simply witness and allow and usually when i do that, they dissolve. My mind has no grip on me, and we are actually becoming friends, self-love is at a whole new level. I am beginning to really see life as an amazing gift to be enjoyed and how much of a shame and waste it is to live in fear or anxiety. your happiness and joy are all that matter, anything in the way of that can burn. I know these are only words and it is so hard to put what is happening into words, but if you are out there and struggling or need motivation, fucking keep at it, you got this, this is ALL that matters. Slowly, i am ripping apart my limitations i feel like nothing is out of reach, i am just so fucking happy! I want to give Leo my infinite gratitude, @Leo Gura if you are reading this I fucking love you man you are truly an amazing soul and what you are doing is changing the world. you have certainly changed my world, without your motivation and knowledge this would've been impossible, it is so not encouraged or even talked about in our society. Love you man , for real <3 Thanks for waking me the fuck up, i could've never woken up and died an old, unhappy man.
