Don’t talk bad about the Demi god Andrew fucking Tate.

Their ideas come back in many disciplines in life. I haven’t studied their books directly but from other authors I gained their knowledge. I’ve tried reading their original books but they are very long winded and studious. Do you think there is any values in reading them? Or are there concise summaries made by other authors that is a better updated read?

Seems like some of you live in a bubble. Most therapists I have spoke to haven’t read t Freud and Jung. Some therapists said they are outdated. Usually a bad therapist can be filtered out just by asking if they read Freud and Jung.

Zelenskyy is itching for a world war. This guy should have stayed a comedian because nukes aren’t funny.

It feels threatening, exposing and dangerous. I hate it.

Welcome to the club.

Which one are you and why?

Wilber’s shit is always good. I read integral psychology two years back but it was so dense that I couldn’t digest it all. I have to go back to it I think.

If have spoken with a lot of therapists and not one has read the works of Freud and Jung. Why? Because they didn't have to. Their uni's didn't demanded it. The question is proposed is legit. There are very few Freudian and Jungian therapists. At least I have a hard time finding them. True, criticism on Freud is mostly mouth to mouth. I have never met a person who read his work and had good arguments against him. Jung is very underrated. Especially his archetypes. I feel like there are very few people who understand it really well. Even on this forum, brothers who are not familiar with Jung are trying to reinvent the wheel.

I’m using my iPhone for audiobooks, taking notes and multitasking between apps. Besides that I use them for photos and videos. That can’t be done on a crappy phone. Being cheap is not a good trait. You are undervaluing yourself. If you don’t have money to buy a good phone take an extra job for a month or two and buy something you deserve.

I know this older guy and he is like the poster boy of natural pickup and an all around social guy with a lot of confidence. From the outside he doesn't have a lot to be proud on. He earns minimum wage. Doesn't have a car and uses his bicycle everywhere. He isn't a smooth talker. He is all bravado and he is a good dancer. Just being in his presence I'm already learning a lot, just by observing him I've cut months and perhaps years in my learning curve. I want to befriend him and go out with him (I already have his number) but he is a solo type of guy during night game. This is not a bad trait but it is hard to befriend such a person. He is just not receptive to go out. What kind of value could I offer this guy so I could go out with him? Now I'm seeing him once a week in the same night club but he seems to go out a lot.

@Yarco I would never buy a new car but I do like fast and beautiful cars. You only live once so I really enjoy my BMW every time I sit in it. I only use it couple of times per week and probably my neighbors are thinking the same thing lol.

I busted some nuts with a girl. At least it wasn’t porn and masturbation but I’m so disappointed. I got some powerful lessons out of it though.

@MarkKol safety is relative and not an absolute. Android is like titanic in terms of privacy compared to iOS simply because Android doesn't get frequent updates

Gaslighting has become a toxic word. The meaning has been emptied out. If somebody uses it is a huge red flag.

He has also a lot of green

I used my iPhone 8 for 5 years so paying top dollar for something I use for so long I don’t mind. Now I have the iPhone 13 which I will use for couple of years. I couldn’t manage with a shitty Samsung phone. I’ve tried and they are just not reliable, slow and buggy. And after couple of years they stop giving software updates lol. No thanks. I value my time, energy and privacy. If you buy a new iPhone every year. That is going to be expensive. But my iPhone 8 wasn’t expensive. I paid 700 and I used it for 5-6 years. That is very cheap in my eyes. I get best of the best and the safest of the safest of technology for such a cost. It is a steal in my eye. I would pay double to price if Apple charged it.

Some people on this forum said he is SD orange but has a lot of systems thinking of yellow.

SD is about values. Your RAS, which is your focus, has a focus on your highest values. This in turn creates the paradigm you live in. You create your own paradigm by your own focus. The higher your paradigm the higher your perspective. Tier one people fly on the altitude of doves while tier 2 people fly on the altitude of a hawk. You really can’t know how it is to fly on such a high altitude until you have the wings to do so.

Yes, what do you like about it?

They never get punished. Most girls fall powerful guys like this who have wealth and status and get raw dogged and dumped. It seems that god favors the powerful and merciless. This guy is living his best life. Traveling the world. Making money. Enjoy his time with his brother Andrew. I know guys like this in real life and I’m convinced there is no divine justice. It is free for all.

@LordFall I don’t have him anything to offer that he needs. He seems happy with everything. Only thing that comes up right now: I could offer him free car rides and free drinks.

Is it possible to bounce up from all the way to yellow down to beige? I think once you reach a baseline of certain values you stay there but I'm not sure.

Napoleon Hill did a study on semen retention and transmutation of sexual energy. According to him all successful people perform it in one way or another. From my personal experience it is true. The bottom line is that not all people are the same. Some people can bust nuts all day and still get shit done and there are other people who bust nuts and have no motivation to do anything afterwards. Some people also have low libido so it doesn't matter if they do sexual transmutation or not. Personally I do think there is such a thing as sexual transmutation according to the Buddhist tradition. White tantra is a real thing. How do you know? By trying it out.
