This hit home for me so hard. The journey can pull you into some of your deepest lows. I can honestly say I've never had such deep periods of depression in my life since I really got deep into Enlightenment. But then you hit this point where you've been through so much shit, you just give up. You just want to enjoy your life and help others do the same. In the past, if I was forced into some sort activity I didn't enjoy, I'd just resist it. But now all I want to do is slip into the present and have gratitude for what is. I'm not perfect with it. I still have periods of resistance. From reading your report, I'd say you're way further along than I am, so congrats. But there has been a definite shift. Keep up the amazing work man.

Could. If it does, that means your desire was based more on unhealthy neediness than actual caring.

If you're at some kind of school, obviously that's an easy start. Malls maybe. It's really going to depend on where you live, so get creative. If you really can't figure out any viable options, than maybe the solution is to create options. Go get a license and a job if that's what it takes. Move cities. Be strategic about it. Personally I moved to a major city when I really started focusing on my dating life. It took time to handle all the logistics of moving there but it was definitely worth it.

You've got to focus on you right now. Double down on your life purpose (or find one) and play the field. Consider some meditation and / or energy work. I've never done Reiki but I've heard good things. Finally, I'd do some research into evolutionary psychology about how attraction works for women.

You've at least got the diagnosis right, which is that you get needy. That's half the battle. Consider this all just a learning experience to discover more about your inner insecurities and limiting beliefs. You won't believe me but it's perfectly fine that you're confused. Deep down almost everyone is. On top of that, you're still crazy young. I was just as confused, if not way more confused at 21. Also, you're a 21 year old guy in college and you'd rather be fucking girls than studying math in the library? I'm so shocked Why couldn't you be a mathematician that also likes to have fun? Doesn't seem to violate any known laws of the universe I know. My advice to you is just keep exploring and experimenting. Try some meditation if you don't already. Relax. This isn't as serious as you think and all your problems are common as shit

Glad to hear it was helpful I've yet to have a successful astral projection so you beat me too it. But from all the research I've done there's a ton to explore in this area. What I've found really interesting about your report is that it seems like you've been able to use your trip as a way of deepening your understand of True Self. In all the reports I saw from Robert Monroe, he never mentions this. But it makes sense. Any sort of consciousness exploration has the potential to give you insights into what consciousness and reality truly is. The benefit you seem to have is that you're aware of non-duality, while my guess is Monroe was not. So you can use this as a spiritual practice. Keep it up!

Yup. And the quality of girl that is attracted to you will also change. That's because we don't attract what we do, but rather who we are.

While this is true and what we all should be striving for, I don't know if this advice is going to be very practical for him right now. Because if you honestly did that and looked at women without belief, there'd be nothing there. Just the unknowable source consciousness. If you want to live in the world, you're going to use an ego. And some people you simply are going to have better chemistry with than others. Just because someone is Enlightened doesn't mean their ego gets along with everyone else's ego.

Keep going. What proof do you have that you didn't create everything? What proof do you have that everything isn't infinitely connected?

It's only stiff and unnatural if that's the approach you choose. How are you going about meeting people?

There isn't one "type" for you. Your tastes in women will evolve as you work on yourself and rise in consciousness. That being said, if you want to know what kind of woman you like, just experiment. Dates lots of women and then you'll know.

There are plenty of steps. But perhaps the most important one is just trying.

God / absolute infinitiy / truth cannot be conceptualized. Have a direct consciousness and then see how your theory fits.

You're protecting yourself in some way. This stuff about others people's lives being unimportant is a smoke screen. Look for fear. When do you feel afraid? That will give you a clue where to find the limiting belief.

Your problem is not that you can't orgasm without ejaculation. It's that you can't ejaculate more than once in normal sex. I'd look into that first and then consider multiples.

I have no direct experience with this but my gut says that inter-dimensional beings do exist. Can't prove it yet, just intuition so far.

You're welcome! Glad you liked it

"Dissolving" is just a metaphor for lack of a better word for the process of dis-identifying with ego. Tolle doesn't actually mean you'll never function as your character again. It might be true that you're actually the one universal ineffable consciousness, but to paraphrase Jed McKenna, you need something to wear.

1) While you can experiences of no-ego, the ego never totally "dies" as Martin explains. It just eventually becomes like a costume you can take on or off 2) Sounds worth looking into. I did some digging and he has yoga exercises related to his ideas of symmetry

Thanks! New review comes out every other day at midnight EST

Neurosculpting, Man's Search for Meaning, Emotional Intelligence, Learned Optimism are all great ones.

@Deepak sadhwani The Confidence Gap and Six-Pillars of Self-Esteem are great places to start. What specific things are you interested in?

A question about cold approach...of course I gotta get in this mix I've done 1000's of approaches at this point and the benefits were shocking. I'm talking in just a COUPLE MONTHS, your range of what you would have considered socially possible for you could be astronomically different. Likewise, I've seen tons of guys go through the same process and have gotten similar results. So it's not just me. That being said, success in this area is probably not what you think. Guys have this idea that getting good at cold approach means that all your social problems will be solved. They think they'll NEVER get rejected again. Or they'll never feel socially awkward and everyone will love them. But that hasn't happened for me. Everyone makes mistakes. In essence, just like anything else, you'll get out of cold approach what you put in. If you just go out for a month, don't study the theory, don't breakdown your interactions, don't work on yourself outside of game, you probably you won't see a ton of change. But if you do put the work in...wow. It's powerful shit.

Sit crossed-legged. See how easy an hour is doing that first.

Inspiring man! This was a total mind-fuck when I became aware of this. I didn't use those words, but I think I can see what you're trying to point at. Glad to hear not every trip is a dive into pure hell. The Kola-nut tip seems really useful. It's very interesting to see the interplay with seeking Truth and your personal development. Incredible that you seem to be getting all these benefits just from taking a drug, although I understand the emotional labor is still intense.
