    Must be both freeing and frightening to put one's own thoughts & emotions on the line. It feels to go deeper, as if the entirety of one's being is being placed at risk of sudden dispersal or destruction

    It's the only way forward imo. 

    Anything else and you are short changing yourself. 

    Unless you prefer being a corporate drone. Selling yourself out in a myriad of ways. 

    But its painful...

    Well, it's honest.

    For me this type of dialogue is partly diagnostic, trying to sort out my life.

    But it’s also deeply intellectually stimulating. I don’t think there are many places on this planet where you can have this level of dialogue. Just trying to reach a deeper understanding of things/everything and yes that makes dealing with people who lack any philosophical or existential curiosity tiresome — especially if they’re bringing only their BS to the table. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely appreciate other forms of expression — other polarities. Things I “lack”

    I think ideally, we should be trying to invalidate our understanding. Invalidate Leo. Constantly. Recursively. Throw out the trash. Clear out the cache.

    Ask yourself a question: how do you know that you are dreaming the reality? If it were the case, why are you creating this really and not another? There must be a reason. This reason would be a limit, because it would limit the other possibilities. Then the entire reality would be limited for a reason. 

    Even within new age circles there are explanations for why we limit ourselves. For “learning” and “growth” purposes supposedly. The idea being that if we remembered and had omniscience, we would not have the opportunity to stumble and learn. The forgetting and amnesia is a feature of the human experience. Whether or not all the weird spiritual metaphysics and so on and so forth, past lives etc… is real or not isn’t very helpful with your life right fucking now. I don’t say that experientially but it’s just rational and obvious. The best way to solve most problems is directly, not with some convoluted abstract metaphysical system — spiritual bypass.
     

    Not sure I would wish this flavor of neurodivergence on anybody. Idk if it’s just thought forms or what it is. Maybe I just need to break them more thoroughly.  Don’t get me wrong I go through states of infinite potential — where anything feels possible… damn I love caffeine! Whether or not you are “God” doesn’t necessarily change the mechanics of life. Life is humbling in that way so even amidst profound realizations or “delusions” if you’d prefer… you cannot argue with reality. 
     

    At the end of the day we’re all taking a stance as we move through this world. Some people become religious fanatics. Some guys become Andrew Tate clones and believe all the misogynistic and opportunistic mentality. And it “works” for a lot of those people I suppose. I mean it doesn’t but I haven’t met very many people where I could say that everything they embody, say and do has no faults. 
     

    I mean it’s not like pantheism is unique to raging narcissists or psychotic people. It’s an old idea in major religions like Hinduism.  It’s also an experiential realization I came to soberly and on weed. Didn’t really know what Leo was talking about until I experienced it.

    I mean all things considered it could be a million times worse. 

    I’m not necessarily even complaining.

    But like why have I imagined so many asshats — that basically have infinite resources relative to any other human including myself? 

    and why have I made myself so hyper conscious… always been extremely self reflective… sensitive… existential… and I guess reaching such high degrees of consciousness is a byproduct because “compound interest” in these domains I suppose is the only explanation. You can’t really turn it off. There’s always a degree of it and it gets wider and wider even if incrementally — over the course of years it grows a lot so even if you fall asleep, the opening is kinda loosened permanently so to speak like a woman that’s given childbirth. Childish and sexist joke, I know…. Hopefully we can move past that or perhaps it helps illustrate my point, albeit it was crude and inaccurate.

    Anyway, it’s interesting to be so hyper conscious and yet not really have any of your ducks in a row in waking life. Money wise. Friendships and relationships. Like am I retarded? To some extent it definitely shows the black pill nature of “money success”. You gotta go all in if your parents aren’t rich and not deviate until you get some runway. Artistic vision and idealistic perspectives crumble under the capitalistic battlefield of survival. Such naivety. Lesson learned I suppose. I’m also kinda absent minded and all over the place so it’s not just being poor that led me here, although it is “a” factor. 

    Relationships, dating, and hell friendships… Truthfully I have no sense on why I struggle with that’s basically nonexistent for me.

    Anyway, just got a bit introspective and wanted to write out some reflections.

    I admire Mystery a lot. Think he is very intelligent for pioneering so much of the dating stuff but his model is overly cerebral and I think that hurts most men. 

    Owen's approach is more intuitive and flow based. But you're right it's not really formalized or articulated in a structured manner. It's kinda like a bunch of rambling essays that you need to somehow fit together. It's lack of cohesion is a glaring weakness.

    You can meditate and cause cessation in yourself to stop suffering(if you're rich enough to be able to afford it or live in abject poverty and somehow survive)

    You can live in a cave and forget about the whole human song and dance. Don't necessarily need to be rich. I saw in a documentary some hippy guy that lived in cave near Ibiza and he would bring girls "home" from the raves and parties and a lot of them were into the whole hippy, recluse thing. He was pretty young though and good looking but a proper bum as well. 

    Idk I think if we try to play life the conventional way we will invariably struggle a lot. It is by design as people with more resources and power benefit from using lower class people as batteries to sustain their own luxurious lives.

    Because extroverts talk so damned much, a timid introvert views it as strength.

    This is part of the reason many quiet types marry the brash loud mouths.

    But the reality is many of these incessant speakers have no emotional depth nor the ability to deeply connect with others. 

    Like Leo said just a bunch of yapping because they think all of the shit coming out of their mouth is gold.

    Zero self awareness. 

    Rant over. 

    I APOLOGIZE to any of the amazing extroverts out there.

    I've always found this forum to be a good place where I feel confident asking for guidance.

    Thanks to all of you guys, It is much clearer to me 

    If your intuition is that your personal understanding will evolve further independently you're likely correct. 

    But we still need each other for basic life stuff, human things, etc... Other humans can be quite skillful at that -- and point us in the right direction. 

    Don't underestimate the pragmaticism of non spiritual folk. Could come in handy.

    There are important teachings behind it. But the why is fucked up. A lot of my pickup buddies care about lays per year. There is one guy I know who has fucked 800 girls, but never had a girlfriend. Thats what doesn't hold. Toxic stage orange and a bit of red.

     

     

    That is a wasted life. 

    Think about how many years and, and how much of his focus was placed towards such a shallow goal. 

    And no girlfriend is insane. 

    Has a similar energy as John Anthony's trajectory.

    @PenguinPablo If I could go back I would have married the girl I lucked into when I was 21 and focused my attention on awakening.

    @Oppositionless Thank you for sharing this. 

    Yeah and I def think about that.

    The amount of time being wasted obsessing over a false goal. 

    Likely preventing me from connecting with others (or myself) authentically. 

    Imma figure out my way out of this. 

    It's now or never, either way.

    As an INTP, I enjoyed learning the theory of game more than going out and doing game.

    Lol.

    Point proven.

    INTPs do it for the love of learning.

    Not necessarily as execution obsessed like INTJ or ENTJ.

    Still I struggle to close this loop in my life until I gain somewhat of level of results. 

    I think for certain personality types need to be okay with "settling" or adjusting the bar according to their temperament. 

    Maybe it's the wrong goal to begin with.

    This is almost entirely conjecture but if I had to guess 

    pickup is obviously harder for introverts (I) than extroverts (E)

    harder for intuitives (N) than sensors (S)

    and harder for thinkers (T) than feelers (F)

    the P/J dichotomy I don't think has an impact 

    leo is an intp so pickup for him was xxl difficulty 

    I think I might also be INTP.

    It might be harder in some ways for perceiving types since they struggle more with follow through and structure which is needed to learn game in a more systematic way -- which could be described as almost definitionally. 

    What's the formula open, hook, close?

    How long are you gonna keep playing the game with yourself that you have to "master" survival. Hilarious. 

    A basic level is required.

    Not putting any level of investment into setting yourself up for survival would mean you make your life 10 fold more treacherous and difficult. 

    Obviously not getting carried away with the hamster wheel of success but leveraging existing systems so you don't have to worry very much about the roof over your head constantly could prove useful.

    Unless your can effortlessly samadhi beneath a bridge and be content spending $1.50 usd each day on basic caloric requirements.
