@Elham special for sure. moments like this is what i live for. thank you for capturing that.

@Leo Gura good point. like talking to a science university professor. very much high in intellect to be sure but for the most part dismissive of any mysticism.

I think you are correct. What you said is not wrong. Meat, especially red affects your frequency.

I do this too spontaneously when I’m under a lot of stress. Stress and all that Try doing some metta meditation an send good will towards yourself and others

Buddha warned about this. Being apathetic and ignoring the world is not enlightenment. It’s aversion masked as “enlightenment”.

@GGG there’s reasons to be sure. You must for yourself evaluate the drawbacks of it and eventually you realize it’s not that great.

@pluto excellent work boys

@Hardkill Leo is below average in looks. He is unfit, skinny, looks like a nerd, is a nerd, and worst of all he is bald. He still made it work. How? HE DEVELOPED HIMSELF into an attractive man. The reason why some people can approach 10000000000000000000 girls and still not get results is because they are not making adjustments to their approach or putting any thought into it, and lastly becoming more authentic. Going through the motions is not enough. He have to put some thought into it. Be honest with yourself. Simultaneously you have to let go of the emotions and attitudes holding you back. It is certainly possible to take a class at college 10000000000000000000 and fail every time. You have to change the strategy. The outer game AND inner game.

@Anna1 I luv u too <3 I have a plan... One day at a time

i love this guy's energy ha honestly do like the enthusiasm and vigor you have at your age good luck dude! you got this.

@Charlotte at first it was really hard for me, because I kept judging the fact that i kept getting distracted and killing the trees lol. but then i removed expectations and decided that its okay as long as i make sure to make it my goal to kill less trees (get distracted) over time. less expectations

Try FOREST app. See if it's useful to you Obviously Calendars app and reminders is key too

Societally speaking, I always feel like I'm behind. Society moves too fucking quickly for me. In order for me to be grounded, I need to slow down about 90%. If I try to move at societies pace, my energy becomes frenetic and I become full of cortisol and bitter. I need more time than this to process my energy, to process my emotions. I'm not sure if this has to do with CPTSD or whatever but people have told me that I am an "empath" and "energy sensitive". I'm tired of having to move at an overclocked pace in order to keep up with society at the expense of my true self. I got one more semester I tell myself over and over. But then it'll be the next thing and I'll never come off this damned conveyor belt. Any advice. Few weeks left

yes, that's what im used to doing but since "i have less time" i stopped doing it as much. will continue to again (:

thanks man. this is the real answer, or rather reminder I needed

this man serotonins

Recently I got a job in sales and I have been doing badly. I notice when I'm just grounded in being, people are quite receptive, but then I go into my scripted "pitch" and my buyer's interest wanes entirely. I want to do well in this job since it will help me financially if I can do well (6+ figures). However something inside won't allow me to be fake and manipulative the way my boss constantly says we need to be to attain results. I guess partially I haven't been given the tools to succeed at this job yet. I know nothing about the company and all I have is a generic sales script. Also I just started recently. I've made considerable progress in terms of the Buddhist path. Thanks to Leo first and foremost. Don't know if these sort of attainments make it nearly impossible to excel in these fields of orange trees. Similar to trying to imagine Buddha being a pickup artist or money hungry business man or maybe something less dramatic since I probably cannot fathom his level of attainment. Mods: pls. excuse me if I put this in the wrong subforum. Move it if necessary. Sorry for my absent mindedness.

@Raptorsin7 go little by little and see how you feel. Maybe start off with 14 hours. Then over time 24 hours. Then eventually something like 3 days, up to a week or so. I'll he honest, I don't think I have gone 3 full days even. And yes I mainly do it for the mental/enlightenment reasons, although the physical health benefits are there too. I dont know all the research but 2 day fasts and stuff like that are spectacular for health. Pls speak to a doctor before trying. Personally, 2 days is the sweet spot for me currently.

I really like this post. Maybe we can just share certain things that tend to trigger them for us. Here's my list: -Fasting -Mini retreats -Walks in nature [Combining those^ (ooof!)] -Doing something out of your comfort zone -Meditation retreats -Cocaine (just kidding)

@universe actually, its a good product. but the approach is very low consciousness, and overtly manipulative... this tends to be the case in orange america. at the end of the day, even high consciousness products are produced, marketed, and sold with money in mind at the expense of everything else.

@Meta-Man i think ive been dealing with something similar for a couple years. either way. Will stay until they fire me or till the end of the year. Except i still want girls sometimes lol.
