Being a pornstar doesn't make enlightenment less likely directly, it's just that there's a lower chance she'd be interested. Nice to see she's getting into spirituality.

The thing is that those hours are not going to be boring at all because of modafinil. Besides stimulation also makes you "unable" to stop doing whatever you were doing when it was kicking in, because you find it pleasurable. (But you have to take breaks from the meditation every 1 or 2 hours, so you don't begin falling asleep) It's a bit different than other stimulants.

12 hours of concentration meditation on a low dose of modafinil.

Probably depends on your country. In my country it counts as mentorship / education outside of school, which can be done with no formal qualifications.

That's awesome! What came to my mind when you've talked about the downside (not developing your own confidence): this can be fixed simply by using this awesome opportunity as much as you want / he wants and then gradually start doing it on your own (once you realize why exactly he has such an easy time attracting). I'm not really in the same situation but being bisexual helped me massively because I know what seems attractive from the female perspective directly, which definitely has some similarities to your situation.

Are you high right now? I don't think it matters (even though it can feel like it does when you're stoned).

It won't take you more than a year to get your business to a point where it matches your country's average salary (if you don't seriously fuck up). After that you can quit your job. It's very doable (if you drop your hobbies etc for a while and when you're short on time then work only 2h on your husin). Temporary stage blue level of discipline beats relying on NFTs anytime.

Spend 2 - 4 hours after work building your business (don't do anything related to nfts, stocks etc, I mean an actual business eg. consulting or copywriting or programming etc - something that provides value). Those 2 - 4 hours MUST be completely undistracted (no phone checking, social media, anything not related shouldn't be done during this time period). Explanation: Deep works starts after ~15 minutes of undistracted work. If you check your notifications (or whatever other distraction you like) every few minutes you actually never hit that point. Since your concentration falls away every time you become distracted. Most people who think they're putting like 5 hours in are actually so distracted during that time period that they only achieve like 40 minutes of work (those numbers are rough estimates). After about an hour of work with zero distractions (don't take any breaks during the whole 2 - 4 hours, unless you're super tired) you'll be able to do way deeper work than usual.

A few years ago I bought something from wish. It never came (I didn´t have much money back then, so that sucked).

Not really what my post implied but whatever. Do I really have to state the obvious? The point is that many people here overestimate respectable teacher's SD stage just because they're awakened. Edit: idk if my first post about was misunderstood because of my English (I'm not from an English speaking country), but since I've clarified it here a second time already it should now be obvious.

No. I'm just bringing up spiral dynamics, since you brought them up. Spiral dynamics is not an appropriate tool when talking about mental instability like Connor's case. Notice how my post didn't imply that Connor's near Suzuki's enlightenment level at all?

Many of the popular youtoob teachers are stage blue, or even historic teachers like Suzuki DT. They're obviously a more mentally stable than Connor, but I wouldn't say mental development is the biggest issue with him - I think the main issue is just mental instability + narcissism.

If you became aware of it through a different method you wouldn't really have any less reason to doubt it than if you reach it via psychadelics.

Yeah, maybe after a year of monk level meditation @jaylimix would realize that he can get out of his shitty life situation.

Biphasic sleep. Just get your 6 - 9 hours in. I personally thrive when I sleep only for like 3 hours a night and then have my second sleep from 16 to 20.

If you you're homeless you won't really live anywhere.

He would have to find an enlightened assistant lol, I´d be suprised if he found someone´s who´s both capable of judging peoples development so well & is willing to check thousands for letters.

The thing is that destabilizing states are inevitable no matter how much you prepare, even in less advanced forms of spirituality.

Maybe pick up some sort of martial art. And practice standing up for yourself when nessecary (which is something you can do pretty often). But don´t overdo it.

Remember how christians used to burn witches (along with their cats : D)? Have you read Zen at War?

It´s important to acknowledge how lucky it is to discover spiral dynamics. Lot´s of right wingers & centrists study history & lots of them are right wingers (edit: this sentence is weirdly formulated due to modafinil brainfreeze, but you get the point). The more accurate determining factor would be overall personal growth, in my opinon (rather than how much history you studied).

Not exactly a man, since he's a rapist : D

What makes you think that only some women have an "inner bitch" inside of them? (Even if you know her for a long time & she obviously wants to have sex with you - if a man just asked "do you want to have sex?" You wouldn't find it attractive).

The "cool, let's go" is only when she finds you attractive & wants to have sex with you. Which unfortunately doesn't work in real life (because of societal programming).
