@Leo Gura yeah I get you, I still enjoy drinking when out with my mates or clubbing etc, but like you say drinking too much is shit for your health and nothing worse than a hangover. hmm, what nootropics do you currently take? ive been toying with trying modafinil, however I have quite an addictive personality, and people I know say how effective it is productivity wise. @Aaron p lol, I live in a small town and it’s exactly the same unless we venture into London or Cambridge really ? @Gneh Onebar You got it? nothing “wrong” with alcohol, drink it and you’ll still get drunk, but It’ll still effect your health etc.

@Leo Gura Fuck me, $20 a drink, tabs of acid round here cost like £10, that's ridiculous prices. Yeah it is terrible for you and hangovers are the worst. However, its also enjoyable from time to time when with friends, but looking at any middle aged Beer/ Cider drinker is enough to put me off from becoming a regular drinker It would be 10x harder to lose weight, optimise your health and your life etc if your drinking every night as many adults do.

@Gneh Onebar Yes, I'm 90% sure it's being tested for use in therapy particularly in PTSD, which makes sense. Yes, it is incredibly therapeutic, especially with close friends, partners etc, I've never done it solo so can't say, however it tends to make people incredibly social and active, hence its use in rave and dance music settings. The comedowns tend to come from overuse either too frequent or too high a dosage, shitty product, lack of sleep (Raves tend to go on until 6am at least), lack of nutrition the day after etc. Let's just say raving isn't good for your body, so add heavy dosages of drugs on top of that and it's easy to see why comedowns are common. I think studies have shown once every 3 months can prevent you ever doing permanent damage, but raves are weekly and people always think they're special and it won't affect them, I think https://rollsafe.org/ states at VERY MOST once a month/ 5 weeks. In case people read this and are interested in trying MDMA please please please read this website and take precaution when doing so, and of course do your own research: https://rollsafe.org/

@Gneh Onebar yeah mate MDMA, or pills which usually contains loads of other shit unfortunately. Problem is with 16-20 year olds is responsibility and being sensible, and of course our brains aren’t developed fully at that age increasing the risk further.

@Leo Gura out of interest, how comes? mainly for health reasons? If you’re doing PU regularly it would seriously hamper life if you’re out drinking most nights so I get that completely.

@Leo Gura Yeah I agree, I mean you can tell a lot of Ravers are very different from 'normal' party animals, the focus is often on MD and LSD, but insights are usually drawn from a Green perspective, however, as you say these insights can still have dramatic effects on people and make them investigate deeper potentially. The experience of Love on MD even while at a rave is out of this world, issue is a lot of 17-20 year olds get hooked because it's like 100x better than getting drunk so often end up fucking their brains up, or moving to other Drugs to chase a high, sadly, often Cocaine as it's something you can do more regularly without a Psychological comedown supposedly. And, about moving down it's so true. I can think of so many people I had deep chats with at raves about all sorts, including this sort of stuff, yet now they're like a completely normal person with a typical job, lifestyle and way of living and have just gone back to alcohol or whatever. Oh well, everything is perfect as it is and that's what they need right now Did you ever use to party in your younger/ Pick up years? As much as it can be detrimental as you always say about balance it can be fun and enjoyable of course, but so many people my age just get hooked at College/ Uni or even younger.

In terms of Career, Helping People >, for example you'll no longer work in shitty scammy industries and actually help people and provide value, but it'll also be something you love. Imagine a world (John Lennon lol) where everyone did what they loved and helped each other, imagine how amazing that would be? However, we're hundreds if not thousands of years away from that, so focus on what you love and how you can help people, and of course make a living at the same time, even conscious people have to survive. Relationships are a tricky one and it's very much individual, I've distanced myself from some people to help focus on my goals but they'll always be my friends, but you can't have everything in life and have to sometimes prioritize. Right now my big focus is my businesses, so I can't be going out every night smoking weed like some of my mates do, I'm not 16/17 anymore. But, I do still go out at weekends with friends, so you have to find the balance that's right for you. At the end of the day, it's your life and you shouldn't just do something because a model or someone told you do, sit down and think about what you actually want from life, no need to worry about how you'll get there but be courageous and actually uncover your wants and needs. From there these sorts of questions will start to answer themselves as you have a direction of where you want to in life.

@28 cm unbuffed You can defo build muscle while being vegan lol, pick up a high protein vegan cookbook or something. Here's one idea (not the healthiest meal) Soy mince, Kidney beans/ Black beans, lentils, peppers, carrots, garlic, onion, (anything else you like) made into a Chilli with Chopped tomatoes and veg Stock and of course spices and seasonings, it's really easy to make and you can serve it up with Quinoa/Rice and also have Broccoli/ Kale on the side to add greens. Obvs Soy mince is processed and not the healthiest. I made a big batch and it will last for 4 meals and probably cost me like £5, so £1.25 a meal. This could then be you lunch for the week or whatever, it takes some thinking but not that diifcult really.

@kellyon Smoking especially, I also picked up blue light glasses as I work on my laptop up to 12 hrs a day.

i know people who go raves and do this way more than they should let’s put it like that. will they get any form of insight from it, I mean raves message is Peace Love Unity and Respect, so seems to be coming from a green space, however I doubt they’ll get the existential insights you talk of here from doing this recreationally, plus the MD is likely shitty.

@Shin People don't like truths like that though, it doesn't sell well

@Meetjoeblack hence why I gave the warning. I don’t follow PUAs as I’m in a relationship. ive seen all the shit on him before. But, his overall advice is solid as foundational advice. Just he himself has a major sex addiction and many psychological issues, a lot of PUAs do tbf. @Shin Yeah, but once you embed these techniques of approaching, how to frame, how to text etc, it will really help. And you no longer think about it as it becomes natural. But I agree you want it to become natural, however for the average guy who’s into pickup tbis will take a lot of work.

@Leonora agree with this, it’s an amazing model, but people here very obsessed with it. @Yahya Id say mainly Yellow, although Leo’s recent videos mainly Turquoise

Yeah this is a normal stage for a seeker, where you question everything, it is honestly so shit. However, you will never find it in the future, everything you’re seeking is right here and right now, not in some future trip or experience. Of course those insights could help you realise this. THIS is it, so your everyday life, is it, there isn’t a magical state you’ll get to where you have wings, instead you’ll experience Now without resistance and embrace every moment. Enlightenment is the recognition of The Self, often people dress it up way too much. Of course integration and embodiment work is needed, but firstly realise THIS as it is is it

That’s a great quote by Adya.

Awesome post mate. Disagree about 5 love languages though, certain people will genuinely respond better to different ways of receiving love, maybe you could upgrade the ways of giving this love and you could simultaneously work to heal that areA, however, do think it can help

Cut first and get shredded, take up some form of cardio for the health gains also, can be a sport you like or any sort of cardio you enjoy. im guessing you will want to stay lean post cut, so only lean bulk, there’s no rush to get huge unless you want to compete or whatever, also try to stick to healthy and natural foods in your diet, easy to get side tracked and chase gains at the cost of your health. Kinobody has easy to follow 3 days a week programmes for both cutting and bulking, also employs intermittent fasting which makes weight loss effortless.

In terms of pure results check out John Anthony Lifestyle, but I mean I’m guessing you’ll be a lot more conscious than he is, most PUAs employ sleezy and manipulative tactics so learn the keys from them, but apply them in a more conscious manner.

@Bennn absence of experience is impossible, without experience NOTHING would ever exist, and by that I mean there would literally be no existence possible, all there is is experience. Just like all there is is consciousness.

@HAL9000 this is common practice with online courses, for example Tai Lopez (the in my garage guy) has had all of his courses pirated and sold for like $10. It’s the same as people pirating movies and music

Thoughts aren’t an issue, it’s the resistance to thoughts and identification with them that is. You don’t NEED thoughts to live, as natural pure awareness takes care of everything, however, thoughts can be useful in some areas of life, and it can even be fun to think sometimes, I often daydream before bed, maybe it’s preparation for dreaming at night lol, but don’t think you can never think again, that will just make you think more. What would be more useful is actually Welcoming your thoughts and treating each thought as a guest in your guest house and loving EVERY thought unconditional! investigating your thoughtS is also key, where do they come from? Where do they go? What is at the centre of them?

No direct experience but sounds like it would be incredibly intense mentally and physically, especially on the heart, be careful with drugs bro especially if you’re mixing! also, what are you trying to get out of mixing the two?

Yeah, you could argue some have Karma from this life or past lives for those genetic diseases that are uncontrollable. But, Awareness/ God etc gives us complete freedom to as we please, and as a result this means ANYTHING goes, like we know smoking causes cancer and eating shit causes diseases yet we still do it. You get what I mean? Also, creation isn’t possible without destruction, destruction and physical death are a part of healthy functioning of a healthy organism, without death there can’t be life. However, this doesn’t have to be suffering, of course there will be negative emotions and pain, but the suffering comes when the I-Thought clings to these things. Don’t think I’m saying you shouldn’t be sad, what I’m saying is when you are sad be completely sad as long as you need to be, totally feel with every ounce of your body (same for all emotions) and then let it go when the time is right. That is part of becoming emotionally mature and “current” it’s not easy by any means.

@Shin Pre spirituality I was the BIGGEST stress ball with exams, however it meant I revised intensely and got very decent grades, however the motivation was more out of fear than enjoyment. Whereas, now if if was doing exams it would be of course disciplined but done in a way I could actually enjoy learning the content and whatever is needed for the exams, I’d also help others a lot more, which I hardly did enough of at school in areas I was more naturally gifted. I guess we all live and learn

@SantaMaria Anytime, hope you enjoy your exams as much as someone can ?
