@benny I dabbled in it while in college, basically just using the stuff I was learning on girls at frat parties. But I really started to take it seriously when I was 23. Took me about 6-8 months from there to get to a point where I started to consider myself good. And I was hitting it hard, usually out every single night. If you're wondering if it was worth it, the answer is absolutely. Game is this awesome combination of fun + learning and growth. I'd do it all again.

Your true self isn't "doing" anything to you. It's difficult to imagine when you're in the struggle, but you chose all of this. Your true self looks on everything with love. The suffering, the victories, the loses, everything. It's all your journey and when you shift perspective, you can see it's beautiful. Easier said than done, I know. But that's okay too. Growth and learning is what this is all about.

@smd Sounds like dude really wants to get laid. Teach him some game, it will save him a couple years of his life and his bank account.

@egoless Yup, just another friendly paradox. More open-mindedness and seeing through your belief structure actually leads to more confidence. Understand that lack of confidence ultimately comes from not understanding your true connection to Source / The universe. When you still think you're this isolated person, everything seems uncertain and like it couldn't work out for you. The more you burn away the delusion of ego (your current belief structure) and connect with Source, the more you realize at a deep level you are the total creator of your experience. So then when you say "I want X" or "I am Y", there's no wavering or doubt that will happen. What couldn't you manifest when you have a direct line to God? Think about Jesus walking on water. Whether or not you believe that happened, the point is that Jesus KNEW so deeply he was one with God that he didn't hesitate to think he could walk on water. People who don't get this see it as being delusional. How could anyone have that much faith in themselves? But those people are still stuck in the egoic paradigm of the world where they think they have to do everything.

Given that LOA is the law responsible for the total of everyone's experience, that's not strictly true. That would imply that egoic pursuits somehow aren't governed by the LoA. But the LoA doesn't judge ego as bad. If someone is being run by ego, they'll get egoic experiences. That's what most of our culture is. But if someone decides they want to move up and be driven by something more, they'll get that. It's all your choice.

That's the beauty of it. The Light side couldn't be the Light side if it said "you must join us!". No. That would make it no different than the Dark side. So it's really just a choice you make for your own sake, not because anyone or anything is telling you to do it. And it can't be any other way. You'll find the courage to move up when you've finally had enough of being in the dark. You'll realize that while there is no "good" or "bad", the Dark side has a major cost. Your own well-being. Nonetheless, it will keep trying to sneak its way in. That get-rich-quick-scheme, that drug, that criticizing and moralizing. It's all the same shit. But the good news is that the Light has always been there. You don't have to find it, you have to let it out. That's when you've found something worth dying for.

@Jhonny You're not an introvert. Or at the very least, this personality that you currently think is you is not who you really are. Can you remember any brief moments where maybe you were more extroverted? What did they look like and feel like?

@Jhonny are you actually an introvert, or are you just shy?

Are you sure? You already know the answer. Why is his happiness more important than yours?

@Shakazulu Schedule, schedule, schedule. I resisted scheduling for awhile because I thought I wanted "freedom" and to "be in the moment". And while I do want those things, scheduling the right way doesn't negatively impact that. It helps. Before you go to sleep, put in your calendar for tomorrow when you going to read, work on your life purpose and whatever else you're doing. And then just stick to the schedule.

Your degree of unconditional love for everything around you. The whole game of the ego is that it wants everything to be a certain way. When that criteria doesn't get met, that's when your resistance to what is kicks in.

@Sopot That's great you're interested in the course. If you were to find a way to pay for the course on your own, what do you think it would be?

@Tony Tellez They're just following the socially conditioned script that has been given to them. Don't fight it, you won't win. Just keep doing what you know is right and try and bring as many people up with you as you can.

I know how frustrating it can be. Give me breakdown of what your week looks like. For instance: 1) How often are you going out 2) Do you have wings 3) Where do you live 4) Where do you go out (clubs, bars, day game) 5) What do you do for work + anything else you think relevant.

@DustOfEarth Glad you're joining us! I'd say playing video games can be a symptom of lower consciousness. People use it as a way to numb and distract themselves from their own lives. But at the same time, you could turn the creation of video games into an art form. It could be your life purpose. Why do you want to pursue creating video games?

@Nic I haven't seen any. What if you wrote one?

@Wyatt 1+ just because I'm an Eckhart Tolle fanboy Doing presence work can definitely have strange energetic effects like making you tired or emotional. Your physical body isn't used to it, so it's like it has to adapt to using this new energy source as fuel. You've been putting in regular gas, now it's time for premium. Nothing to do but push through the hump. Eventually it actually increase your energy levels.

@Annetta I did a guided meditation with Doreen Virtue where she walked us through some cord cutting via the angels. Can't "prove" it did anything, but things have improved since then.

@egoless The answer is in the "All Criticism Is Untenable" video. Watch it again and keep contemplating. Maybe we can be aware of the need for change without making an enemy out of what is

Stumbling around in the dark, trying everything. Still doing that to a certain degree to be honest , I don't think the process ever ends when it comes to life purpose. You, me and everyone else. The mind loves the "what if" game. Some days you just push through on what seems like sheer will. Meditation and yoga helps a lot.

@Light Lover What exactly are you looking for? A mentor? Formal schooling? Be more specific.

@Aquarius If the gap is big enough, no. Or you're just going to be really unsatisfied. It won't even be because you're right and he's wrong or he's right and you're wrong. It'll just be because you're too different. You're going to want to go to yoga. He's going to want to watch TV. You're going to want to eat at a healthy restaurant. He's going to want to go to McDonalds. I'm stereotyping but you get my point. From a Law of Attraction standpoint, you're no longer a vibrational match. You might be able to get this person to start working on themselves if they're open to it. But that's a very big if and usually is not the case. Much easier is just to set your own boundary ahead of time. Make "I'm looking for a high consciousness relationship and don't accept anything else" your new standard.

@CuteCornDog With what intention? Getting them arrested? I don't see that ending well.

@CuteCornDog And? What are you going to do about it.

@Leo Gura Love it. If you come out to Miami I can definitely get more than 20 people in a room.
