@LordFall Dude the reason I always struggled with IG is because I have a small circle and even the people in that circle are fairly reserved so they may not even leave a like.
I know that not everyone is like that so its just a matter of meeting more people but in that in-between period where you are building up is it fine to do the fake it till you make it approach or just own that you are in a sense a relatively unpopular individual?
Believe it or not I've done years of sales but I mean it's not difficult to chat up strangers you don't know. There is not really a concern of social reputation in cold outreach similar to cold approach.

If you ever see the matrix and Neo is waking up and they are on the computer on the other side and they are like, we are loosing him. Its like that.
This one didn’t click for me until just now… very good example!

I’ve been drawn to intense breathwork, pranayama, and Kriya Yoga, plus exercise as grounding practices. While I’ve tried psychedelics before, I’m now quite wary. We’ve seen cases like the recent fitness influencer where things went wrong (and thats only because he was internet famous). Plenty of people this happens to that we’ll never hear about.
Even without psychedelics, deep spiritual work has turned my life upside down in my late 20s/early 30s. I wasn’t psychotic, but I struggled with grounding and bridging those insights into everyday material reality. I now see why traditions emphasize finding a good teacher — it’s easy to get lost going solo, even if some dogma exists.
For these reasons, I’m leaning toward a gradual path right now to keep spiritual growth and ordinary life aligned. It’s not a race, and sometimes going faster ends up being slower long-term.
Curious about others’ experiences with clearing energetic blockages safely. What practices have helped you integrate without losing your footing? Thoughts on psychedelics vs. slower approaches?

I like the idea of this conceptually lol
I would be wary of depending on ket for this purpose but achieving similar results even if more gradually is a great idea.

I think mostly it's about the embodiment more than anything.
Certain women find that deeply mysterious and intoxicating.
I think talking about it though is too much for most people -- especially the most radical spiritual ideas because of the metaphysical and spiritual implications.
Better for her to feel like you're from another universe than to see what's under the hood.

Pickup is so fucking shallow and should be thrown in the trash unless you want to waste years trying to use inauthentic strategies which will rob you of the ability to authentically connect to other humans.

Such as his beliefs as being the chosen one to enlighten humanity and that the government was in on it and so forth… such and such.

@Girzo There are different levels of bipolar.
I think full blown mania probably is not a great thing but I don't have experience with it.
Also...
From Gemini: Elon Musk has not publicly shared an official clinical diagnosis of bipolar disorder or hypomania. However, several psychiatrists, mental health professionals, and biographers have speculated that he exhibits traits associated with hypomania—such as extreme energy, impulsivity, and a reduced need for sleep.

Well that is the case with bipolar disorder which I have.
I don't necessarily think it is purely pathological though.
There is a truth to that sense of anything being possible. The problem I guess could be if you start to put yourself and others in danger. I think most people live in a state of fear and limitation. This is also a false premise. Yet the over confidence of mania can be read as an issue.
That state of confidence is intoxicating and I think that most of society is afraid of it. At the same time you do need to keep yourself grounded and responsible. Your behavior does have consequences.
Personally I think things like bipolar are forms of genius.
But if you do not have it balanced then it creates massive issues.
Look at Kanye West. He is bipolar and his discography is legendary and conveys that confidence as well.

It is difficult to get good mental health treatment.
Most mental health practitioners are heavily paradigm locked.
Spirituality and western psychiatry do not mesh well at all. They are orthogonal.
Something more holistic is needed.
I understand you must say these things from a liability perspective but things are not so clear cut.

So sad that he went from this:
To whatever psychosis thing he had going on the last few years.
Is it a bit "douchey" or whatever to take off your shirt for content. Sure but it is innocent and lighthearted. No bad intentions.
Rest in peace man.
May your soul get what it needs.

@thierry Law enforcement is in the stone ages when it comes to dealing with mental health emergencies.

3 hours ago, Leo Gura said:I am worried that he will end up like Connor Murphy without a serious intervention.
These social media antics turn deadly. Being a dancing monkey for social media fame is very toxic to the mind.
I think he's a good kid with a touch of the 'tism.
Abandoning social media to live like a normie and live a normal life will be extremely unappealing compared to the access he has now.
The only option is to reimagine and rebuild his entire brand around a philosophy more healthy than black pill.

20 minutes ago, integral said:It's very easy to drown in turbulent water, people don't realize how easy it is. You really have to know what you're doing not to drown. There are undercurrents that will pull you in and you'll never get back to the surface. There's people who drowned every year on a lake in front of my house and the water looks so calm and peaceful.
This is a level headed take.
In recent videos it shows him messing around, jumping in the same lake and swimming for the camera.
He might've underestimated it this time.

2 hours ago, OBEler said:This is shocking for me. He always said, its just an act. He proved it many times that it was just an act with behind the camera scenes.
I don’t think so. Just because he was “playing it up” doesn’t mean his behavior wasn’t problematic. Also I feel like he said that a lot so people would stop being concerned. And of course there was a delusional element where he believed he was ok. I think it was both at the same time.
He was “acting” up. But he was also not well.
It’s just sad that he was basically a ticking time bomb for the last few years and everyone could see it.
Him running into the lake and drowning could be seen as paranoia but who knows what he was thinking in the moment.

A lot of people thought Oliver Tree dying was fake too since he had such a prankster reputation. But he was recording music in Afghanistan and playing live shows for tribes in Africa.
When you live life on the edge sometimes shit happens. -
@gengar The details around Leo’s death are extremely murky.
Nobody will ever know.
Officially it says he fell in the bathroom and died.
I mean he wasn’t some old man or anything lol.
Could’ve also been a prostitute. Long story short we’ll never know. That ship has sailed. Either he died by falling like it says or we’ll just never know.
RIP to Connor. He’s a YouTube legend. Should’ve had better people around him. But then again he’s across the world in Thailand away from any friends and family.
@Leo Gura I was talking about Leo Longevity’s death. Since it was tied to Connor and Tony a couple years back when they were hanging out together regularly in Thailand. Officially it says he fell in the restroom and that caused his death. I’m not sure how recklessness correlates with that but if you’re partying in Thailand that is inherently reckless I suppose.

Zyzz was one of the first notable fitness influencers to die in Thailand but that was all the way back in 2011.
Leo Longevity also a couple years back. Lot of controversy around this one. People suspect foul play. But who knows. Thailand is a sketchy place. No rules. You can get yourself into trouble by your own doing.
-
@Brandon L Yeah he was clearly not the same and in psychosis. I give people into spirituality a lot of lee-way as I'm in the community and understand it better than norms but 'dem eyes don't lie.
I wonder what happened to him, or what the verdict would be from a Kundalini perspective or something.

My therapist said this when I mentioned my father had it.
I do also but more so in Pure OCD rather than just behavioral.
It can be quite debilitating.
Already having your position in life on track, but psyching yourself out, getting overly worried about minutia but not recognizing it in the moment but perhaps retroactively.
-
I'm not surprised. Fuck man! He hasn't been doing well for a while now.
RIP Connor

@Davino I agree. I’ve also seen plenty of schizophrenic homeless people that have that spiritual gaze like Osho or other such people so it is interesting to see those parallels and energetic changes that most normies do not have. It can lead this dysfunction as you said
i spent from age 16-20 really getting serious and taking school very seriously then my entire 20s pushing too much into spirituality and now I’m constantly struggling. So you are right it can undermine the foundation and it’s harder to build it up without the safety nets of your early 20s. You take it for granted when you’re young and making it happen for you is 10x harder if you missed it earlier on in most cases
Funnily enough I was also pursuing mech eng. from 18-22 years old

@glassfire Achieving samadhi during meditation and relasing tension during breathwork makes you very aware of physical tensions throughout the body-mind system.
