The higher up the spiral the less ideological one becomes. Vegans are very ideological and almost militant. It is hard to discuss anything. This mindset will go in stage yellow. With shedding I didn't mean shedding of the values. I meant shedding of the fixed-minded ideology and dogma. Obviously there is a whole ideology and industry behind veganism. It is a money making business, praying on certain insecure people, at this moment. Improvements can't be made at this point.

I'm actually stage green-yellow and I'm shedding stage green ideology and dogma. Not everybody will like that.

That is love right there. That lion wants to survive. Just like me. I don't want to have an unnatural diet, end up doing blood tests every month, eat shit loads of vitamin pills and still end up being depressed and suicidal. I only eat small amounts of meat/fish/chicken/and so on. That is what doctor's recommend and that is what I do. I totally understand and sympathize, but I disagree with him. I didn't expect so many members to be triggered and emotional. I didn't know this forum had so many vegans. I guess I just learned how people think about veganism on this forum?

If everybody would become a vegan, the world would literally not be able to sustain that. Meat is high caloric and highly nutritious. You don't need to eat a truck load of meat. A small piece is enough to sustain you for days. Vegans on the other hands eat truck loads of fruit and vegetables to stay alive, and afterwards they still have health issues. They are forced to take supplements and blood test. On the long term every vegan finds out their diet just simply doesn't work out. My phone doesn't want to survive. Plants actually have mechanism to stay alive. A plants survival strategy and a human's survival strategy is not very different: they both want to stay alive. We literally share DNA with plants, dude.

Vegetables are living things too. They might not have a heart but they do have senses and an urge to survive. I find their passion highly selective. Loads of people are suffering because of vegan diets. They should care about humans too.

Psychedelics didn't work for me because of my traumatic past. People who trumpet psychedelics as a magic pill think too much in black-white.

Such a nice sketch about the manipulative behavior of some women. Scary part is that they don't show their real face until it is too late. For men, the most important choice is to make the right pick for a partner to settle with. One can say, just divorce her if she is manipulative. Yea, that is possible, but she will take half of your net worth and set your children against you. Sometimes I feel so naive about these topics but there is no way. If you want to play, you have to play by the rules of the game, and manipulation is a big part of that.

This is what helped me: Connect what you are doing right now, to your future self. What future self do you want? Write your (sub)-goals down, and make prioritizations in the now according to your (sub)-goals. The key is that your sub-goal shouldn't be to distant in the future, otherwise you simply won't have the motivation.

First give the people bread and pussy, and after that we might listen to your psycho babble.

I'm a half hippie and a half frustrated success chaser so you won.

So which stage are you then?

Spiral stage shaming is a real thing so yes.

I did his program. It is no nonsense and very good. Much better than that RSD crap.

Separate happiness from success. They are not the same thing but sometimes they can overlap. At first happiness and success might overlap but there will come a point it will diverge. For me just being happy with nothing was not possible. I achieved some personal success and it made me happy but I didn't attach to it knowing the happiness is only temporary. It is like breathing in (meditation) and breathing out(manifestation). Both are important. You can learn from both.

He is amazing.

only a naive person

One of the best things I have done recently is not listen to women. Yes, listen to them, but don't take them serious. You just have to deliver what they really want deep down.

In dreams I'm afraid to die because I don't want other's to be sad. This cleared up a lot for me.

What worked for me: decoupling words and meaning Wow. This just skyrocketed my understanding of things. It wasn't contemplation what I was doing. I was thinking in images and in analogy. Once I saw the difference everything started recontextionalizing and I was in a new paradigm without procrastination. I hope this helps some people.

@nexusoflife You need the insights before you can find nice words to explain it of course. I think you have both talents. You are able to see the insight and also pick the right words to describe it.

How did you develop it?

The most difficult part is unlearned your current wrong notions about self discipline, habits, willpower and so on. If productivity is not working out. There is nothing wrong with the universe. The wrong is in your understanding. To do this learn from others. Dive into their psyche. Read books. Talk to people. Don't contemplate by using words!!! That is bullshit and it drove me further into ignorance. Contemplating with words while being ignorant is being in a loop of ignorance in my personal experience until now. Thinking in analogy helped me. Also don't think this is a magic fix. There multiple layers of understanding with analogical thinking. Systematic approach helped me.

The alchemist. I don't read many fiction books.

If it is a true expression of you then yes. That is why I think spirituality and shit if useless and should be avoided until you can express yourself in your life. At least for me spirituality didn't do much good until I could express myself in my life. In my case education was a great expression.

I'm not in the position to buy a house anyway, but if I was in that position I would wait for that 20-30% market correction. Also not all real estate markets are not the same. In west Europe, mortgage system is going to bust, and after the reset, people won't be able to get the same loans anymore, pushing the market prices to decline. That is true. I don't know much about stocks tbh.
