excercise, video games, online poker, gambling, weed, porn, internet, nicotine, coffee
I have been addicted at least to those. Nowadays probably internet is the only one. But i still feel yoga, meditation, sports are still a lot of times method of trying to get "high". But arent we all looking pleasure or good feelings some way?

Im dont want to make you feel bad, maybe you had some consciousness shift but its very likely not enlightenment.
I´ve had one Satori experience in my life, it was instant BAM! and i was in totally different state of consciousness. I was the trees, the lakes and everything, there was no-self, i was everything. I had 0 thoughts going on in my head. Lasted maybe 10 seconds (not sure), i thought i was going to die (which i was psychologically), and then the ego kicked in. Ive had many epiphanies after that on meditations and mushrooms but nothing like this.

You might try herbs like maca or tongat ali. But do youre research

Not sure what sense it makes to say that knowledge is a waste of time.
It's not a waste of time if you use it properly.
He doesnt really read the books, he spead reads them and takes few notes. He even told it on some video.
But i guess that is cool too, if you do it everyday.

What do you mean legit? He is a succesfull businessman, he is also the sneakiest sales/marketing guy. He is the king of clickbaits.
He´s been accused to scamming a lot, he had very suspectfull online dating businesses and people have complained a lot.

Just make a good preparation and practice youre set several times and youll be fine.
If i was able to do it back in the day, so are you. Whats the worst thing that can happen? Youre not gonna fucking die, and the audience knows that public speaking isnt the easiest gig, so they arent that judgemental because they understand it can be little exciting.

You attract what you are. End of discussion. Stop judging and blaming people. Theyre all "god", youre mind just puts labels

I love to Listen Alan Watts breaking down the universe. The voice and the charisma are crazy.

2 minutes ago, Dhana Choko said:You have to be very enlightened to drink and not feel a slightest feeling of guilt or shame about it. And if one is completely enlightened, they would never want a drink.
I dont think this is true. I dont know who is enlightened and who is not, but for example Chogyam Trungpa was a boozebag, Alan Watts was a drunkster, Ram Dass did never become totally sober guy, Ekhart Tolle smoked a joint couple of years back. Watts definetly wasnt enlightened, the other may be. Enlightenment doesnt mean that you become a great person

I dont think, Its not all that black and white. I think most "great men" are not 100% non alcohol.
For myself, few times a year is okay, but not more.
