Imo, you would get value from the following. - Getting a new sense of what are and aren't healthy boundaries. (When I say no I feel guilty is a useful book imo) - Get a new understanding of what counts as abuse (Dr Ramani is a useful resource for this, imo) - Doing inner work such that your attachment style shifts to a secure attachment. Imo, you are currently in an attachment style that makes you attach to people like your father, i.e. narcissists. So, until you change it you will continue to be attracted to this type of man. And if you don't address this you can and likely will get into the cycle of continuously having relationships with thee kinds of men and you'll maybe wonder why you are so 'unlucky' in love. If you switch to secure you'll generally automatically be attracted to people with secure attachment styles. Depth psychotherapy would be my recommendation for making this switch. - Get an understanding of cluster-b folks and how to deal with them and spot them Dr Ramani is a useful resource imo.

@Zeroguy I don't think it can all be put down to Nahm being kicked. Its certainly a possibility, and I imagine it improved things round here. I think he was a case of someone who focused on eastern wisdom without enough focus on western psychology. I think he likely had some unconscious drive towards maintaining an internal narrative of power and superiority. I think he could have had a lot of value to give, and also would have a better quality of life himself if he had integrated the two.

@Yarco Apologies, I shouldn't have spoken to you like that

@StarStruck I really like the way he maps out all the different stages of energy, as well as ideas about how to jump between different energy levels. Its pretty cool to me the idea that something like Apathy can actually be a really positive thing to promote folks to resonate with, i.e. if they resonate with shame usually. In comparison to LOC, presuming by LOC you mean David Hawkin's Level of consciousness stuff, I haven't really compared them in my mind yet. I haven't gone through power vs force, only letting go by Hawkins, which I understand isn't as in-depth as Power vs Force regarding energy levels. Have you got an opinion on Dodson?

The Ghost fucked it up with their open. Should have gone with 'Who lies more men or women?'

You have to meet people where they are at and then walk then up the staircase of self actualisation, imo. Relationship content isn't going to resonate with the same people as pick up will.

Damn. Inspiring! Congrats!

I want to watch a TV series or movie in which you have a character who is consumed by jealousy. Preferably the film/ tv series would show a narration of their inner monologue but not mandatory. I want to sit with the emotions that come up.

@KH2 Fairs. Maybe I'm projecting

@Manny Seems he resonates with the emotion of pride. So it seems to me not unlikely that he wouldn't resonate currently with inner work. @KH2 Perhaps, consider how this speaker is manipulating you via triggering shame in you.

@UnbornTao Damn, that's a cool ass graph

@Someone here Out of those, I'd probably say France. I'm not that interested in the WC tho because of the working conditions of those who had to build the stadium and the corruption.

@Raptorsin7 That's sick dude. I'm jealous

@StarStruck I think there's value in both.

How would you guys deal with someone like this lady?

@Vibroverse Ye I agree with you. I'm not sure how to square the two. Maybe im emotionally attached to my intellect

@Razard86 Sincerely tho dude, you come across as a dick to me who needs to keep their passive aggressiveness in check.

@Yarco Imo, that reeks of basement dwelling, dude

@StarStruck Do it for the reference experience, imo. Sit with the emotions that come up, using letting go. I imagine there'll be some shame at the idea of being seen as weak and someone she can take advantage of. When it comes up use the technique and process it. It could be a useful opportunity to work through some shame. Imo, if you can work through your seeming shame around being seen as a simp, then you will be more confident, as you will be less concerned with controlling your behaviour around not being seen as a simp.

@Vibroverse I think I get you, and I agree from a certain point of view. However, I was talking about epistemology in a more intellectual sense.

I'd say the most prominent issue, at least to me, is foundationalism.

@Raptorsin7 Love it dude! Any pics?

Projection

@The Mystical Man I feel like he isn't willing to go into the grotesque as much as he could. I think I like someone like Gaspar Noe for that reason better. And just the french cinema folks in general.

@The Mystical Man Lol i liked the policeman scenes. But ye i kinda have the same opinion of PTA overall. I was always waiting for it to get epic, to my own standards. maybe its a visual literacy thing
