They've never been my thing. I'm sure they work but it's a very physical approach to upping your sex life. Instead, I think you'd be better off thinking about sex in terms of emotion and energy. Best thing I've found you can do is just breathe, relax and be free and be present. Let the bodies do what they know how to do. You're not in control.

I'm basically your exact height. The girls can't be that much taller where you are than where I am. I won't say there aren't girls who won't date me because of my height, but really, how many girls do you need to like you? The last girl I dated only liked shorter guys. That was her type. How come I was able to find her? It wasn't luck. Trust the universe and believe in yourself man. I know it's easier said than done but that's what always works for me.

@Dumuzzi Fascinating. They don't talk about this in the pua community . I believe we can form relationships with deities, people have been doing it forever. How did Inanna come into your life?

Yes, that's right. I'd argue it's a problem in all those areas as well. I don't think the argument is that it's not valuable. It's that because these services are so valuable, they shouldn't be subject to transactional nature. Monetization is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The more things are monetized, they more we need to monetize. But the reverse is also true. The less we monetize, the less monetization is needed. The phenomena of monetization at our current level is extremely new and not at all a guarantee or a requirement. Even now, there are communities that thrive largely off of non-monetized systems of organization, such as gift, time banking or LETS systems. So while it may be prevalent and necessary in modern society, we can still recognize the flaws of our current system and envision something new.

@ertopolice I actually find it's not that bad where I live. Yeah the bars and clubs are closed but that's not really my scene anymore these days. It has forced me to get a little more creative and branch out to areas I wouldn't normally go to.

@Florian I loved his music growing up. Hard pass from me as far as him being president. The only reason we are talking about this is because he's famous and has tons of cash to spend on a campaign.

I actually find this kind of disturbing. We really have turned every area of life into a commodity.

What are your business ideas?

I would disagree. Your energy does not lie. Can't hide what's inside Yes.

But if you're afraid that chasing her will drive her away and therefore you don't do anything, aren't you still needy? Aren't you still trying to manipulate the outcome?

But neediness isn't solved by pretending to not be needy. That whole paradigm only works when you're actually not needy. In his case, his neediness is manifesting as trying to not be needy. So it's still needy from my perspective, just hidden a bit better.

What's wrong with chasing and being needy? I'm asking these questions because I think you're a bit hung up on concepts.

So why not just be honest with her?

Flipside of the same coin. Why?

I totally understand, it's not going to be an easy conversation to have. If you're living with your mother maybe ask her for help. It just seems to me that this guy is basically threatening / bullying you into complying. And you're twisting yourself around to meet his demands. It's not normal. Even if he had a legitimate concern with your level of sound, the way he is handling it is not appropriate. He should be the one initiating a mature conversation here, but it looks like you're going to have to be the adult.

Awesome, looking forward to it. Wouldn't be life without it

@SirVladimir Awesome man! Love the insights and totally agree. How would you describe your state of consciousness and / or spiral dynamic stage prior to these 100 days? And what do you feel is next for you, if anything?

@Hellooo Positive thinking works, but not if it's done out of avoidance of your feelings. I personally find that if I just own and express what I'm feeling, it passes pretty quickly. It might take me six pages of journaling or 30 minutes of me talking to a friend / wall,D but eventually that energy is out. Do you have a meditation process?

@Thestarguitarist14 Yeah it's interesting. Once you start taking on the lens of spiritual growth, I find that you stumble across all sorts of unlikely places where deep truth can be found. You might the anime film Ponyo. Amazing animation and real spiritual wisdom.

Same way you get over any insecurity, which is consciousness. You've got to really become aware of why you're what you're doing. So next time that feeling to be better than others arises, be with it. It's fine as it is. And then ask, why? Where is this coming from? You may or may not get an answer. But I find just asking these kind of questions help. It moves unseen forces in the psyche and in spirit.

It certainly can create a sort of mental tension when you get into this work. A person has a vision for a better life, and yet it's not actualized. So the knowledge that things could be different creates a sort of tension. And many people do fall into the stage Orange trap of using self-optimization as a way to resist the present and continue believing things are not enough. More supplements, more money, more more more. And always doing, doing doing. The difference I see with spiritual work is that it's a letting go. You're letting go of socially conditioned obligations. You're letting go of trauma that had you stuck in certain patterns. And you're letting go of control, allowing spirit to flow through you and as you. That is what you're seeking. So I would encourage you to not use PD as a tool to beat yourself over the head about how you're not enough.

@Applegarden I think you came up with some good options for solutions. I would explore those. However, I didn't see anywhere in your solution set to just talk to your neighbor. If you're really playing that quietly, and I believe you are, then your neighbor needs to chill out. You might just need to give them a firm talking. You're living in a shared space and you're entitled to make some level of noise. That's what people sign up for if they rent. If they don't like it, you're not trying to cause problems but you've got to do you. In other words, don't sacrifice your dreams of being a great musician for a way too uptight neighbor. For reference, I play guitar as well in a shared apartment complex. I certainly don't play with headphones on and I'm often singing. Never have I had a complaint. You should be entitled to do the same.

Sounds about right. I heard taking certain salts with your water can help to replenish electrolytes, might help you feel better. I'm in the middle of a 48 right now, cheers.

@Conscious life I know you're asking Leo but I'll jump in anyway. I would not think of prayer as you begging for stuff to an external god. That doesn't really work. It might be more helpful to think of prayer as a conscious, energy manipulation of the divine matrix. This is your right as a creator. For instance, before I perform Reiki, I call in Source energy to assist in the healing. You could consider this a prayer. But it's done with gratitude and a sense of certainty.

Possibly, but not necessarily in my opinion. It seems that many spirits can vibrate into our realm at will and so it wouldn't necessarily mean you've evolved. However, if you've been training clairvoyance and are able to tap into the astral / etheric planes, that could be a sign.
