Everything is beautiful if seen through the right eyes. If you look at the spiritual development of the fighters themselves, you will notice that they are mostly red, tribe oriented and they use the sport to channel animalistic anger and frustration. The more advanced ones could lean towards orange where do they play the sport from a competitive vantage point. My friend's cousin was competing on an amateur level. One day he got into a fight in a night club where someone cut off his ear completely. If you go into the sport, you will deal with people who behave more like animals rather than humans. So be careful.

Spirituality should not be used as an escape from reality, but rather as an amplifier of reality. You can't escape who you are. Ask yourself, what is that you truly want? Do you want to have fun with others, socialize, be productive like your friends? If that is what you truly want, you should learn how to get it. But if you truly want nothing, then that is what you will get. What do you really want? -

Science is an attempt to create objective truth out of subjective experiences. In the end, you can't have an object without a subject and vice versa. There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies,_damned_lies,_and_statistics Science narrows down the variables of causality and in this way it limits itself. Science can only explore how few variables affect another variable, but it could never explain everything. Ask a scientist what caused everything to come to existence and they can't give you an answer because everything can't be isolated. In that sense, Science isolates itself from understanding the primal cause. What is right? It is simply a validation by others of your subjective experience. If one day you see a ghost, and your intuition is telling you that ghosts exist, how would you prove to a scientist that your intuition is right?

You are still stuck in your bodily senses. Your eyes see but know NOT what they see. You listen but know NOT what you hear. You know, but know NOT who you are. If you let go of all experiences, then how do you still have your experiences? Maybe when you let go of all experiences, you experience the experience beyond experiences. Maybe. Nobody can tell you who you are. Only you decide this. -
Fear and love are diametrically opposed emotions. You can't resolve the fear of loving, since if there was truly loving, there won't be any fear. Your fear is that your love won't be requited, and that is a valid fear. To overcome this fear you must love yourself first to the same extent you are loving the guy.

@Viking You need to learn how to control the sexual energy that flows into your body. It seems that currently, you are not able to control the flow which is causing you problems. Sexual energy can be controlled through breathing and visualization techniques. Hugging your gf helps you because she helps you to release that sexual energy. She is your healer. If you want to learn the techniques, read some books from David Deida. -

Do you exist? If you don't exist, then you can't be asking this question. If you exist, then you exist. Then the question becomes, who are you? If you forget absolutely everything that you have been taught, what will be left? Nothing. You are That. You are the Nothing that can exist. -
The best way is to have an accurate Vision.

What if life is actually fair? What if you consider it being unfair because you take a limited perspective on small aspects of life? Of course, there are dumb people who are richer than you, evil people who are happier than you, beautiful people who are more famous than you, but do you truly know the life of these people who you perceive to be unfairly living better lives than you? I bet you don't truly know this. What if you drop your limited perspective and adopt an unlimited perspective and realize that everyone gets what they deserve. Can you accept the fact that you are getting exactly what you deserve? Can you accept that fairness exists? I am not saying that that is the case. I am only asking What if...

Love. -
Your passion is currently not associated with your skills. Try to find a way to bind them together. Can you try to create Visual Effects that approximate psychedelic experience? Can you explain the nature of consciousness through a video? These are examples that will bind your skills with your passions. You are an artist, but it's up to you which Art you want to create.

No. Just send them to Jordan Peterson.

Height is not a valid excuse. This guy is barely 5 feet tall, but he owns the fact that he is short and that makes him self-confident. Be like that guy. You have to own who you are. You are not the tallest guy in the country, but don't let the height affect your esteem. Own your height, joke about it, and get over it. Only insecure girls prefer taller guys because they think taller guys can offer them more physical security and protection. Find girls that are secure in themselves and are not affected by your height. I have dated girls that were taller than me, so there are out there.

Because it feels good to have your love returned to you by someone that you perceive more perfect than yourself. Their perfection is perceived by you, but the more you get to know that person, the more it changes your perception about their perfection. After a while, you learn that that person is just as flawed as you are. If you fell in love with their perceived perfection, when your perfection fades and your perception changes, your love is also gone. If you truly love a person, you will have to love them because of their flows, not their perceived perfection. Humans are and will be forever flowed. Only God is and will be forever perfect. Humans always fall out of love because at their core they always seek the infinite love that only God can give. Only God can give perfect love. Welcome to the forum.

@Leo Gura You can reach out to interview Eric Weinstein. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Weinstein Eric has a PhD from Harvard in mathematics and he is the loudest scientist that is in opposition to the way Science is currently done. Based on his profile, I think he is the most likely high profile scientist that can accept your proposal for an interview. Here is his interview with Roger Penrose as a reference to his depth of knowledge.

Dr. John Vervaeke is a more conscious version of Jordan Peterson. If you enjoyed the introduction, you should continue with the next videos in the series.

Who do you think creates the laws of nature? -
Corporation means Pyramid. Pyramid implies Inequality. Inequality delivers corruption.

You need money to feel secure. Realize that money doesn't offer security and the fear will disappear.

Your ego has a developed sense of morality. When your sense of morality is stretched to some extreme, it has to act/judge. There is nothing wrong with this. Depending on the environment you are in, this is a healthy ego development. You must draw boundaries if you live with other egos, otherwise, you risk having an "ego death". Your current problem is not that you are judging others, but that you are judging yourself for judging others. Don't judge others, but more importantly, don't judge yourself. Let it go.

The things you can't accept about yourself, you disown them. When you disown them, you forsake them to live in your shadow. Try to work on the things that you can't accept about yourself. Try to accept who you are. All the things you have buried in your shadow, bring them to the light of your awareness. Only when you realize that there is nothing but Light, your shadow will disappear.

You can easily imprint concepts on a younger brain. Therefore is easier to learn languages when one is younger. A language is a pointer to concepts. Some languages are more expressive than other languages. Some languages have concepts that can approximate feelings better, while other languages are better at approximating metaphysical concepts for example. Language is also a cultural construct. Eskimos have around 50 words for "snow" because snow is prevalent in their environment. Language is shaped by the environment, principles, values of a culture to allow people to better approximate the things they want to say. -

There is one predominant language in which we think. If you are learning a new language, there is a period of transition in which words from the "old" language have to be translated to the "new" language in your mind. But after a while, there is a switch and we continuously think in the language that we predominantly use. -
Confidence arises out of the belief that we possess the skills to "manipulate" reality in some way. When that belief is manifested in reality, it becomes confidence. You wanted to have a great job and you got it. This made you confident. You wanted status and you got it. This made you even more confident. But when the job and status are gone, the confidence is also gone. I will give you another example. Look at Donald Trump. The guy wanted to be rich, and become a billionaire. He wanted to be around beautiful women and hosted his own beauty pageants. He wanted to become famous on TV, and he became famous. He wanted to become president and he did it. How much confidence do you think Donald Trump has? Everything that he ever wanted, he got. Trump believes that he has all the necessary skills to manipulate reality and that is the root of his confidence. But if you investigate even deeper, you will notice that the root of confidence is a con that reality plays on us. If you want to get your confidence back, set small goals for yourself, and achieve your goals. If you set daily goals and you achieve them for a whole year, you will be the most confident men in your country.
