Manifestation has the same sort of issue that religion has. It is deeply clouded by all sorts of misconceptions. Is manifestation (law of attraction) real? It is but not how it is often defined by social media. It is deeply misunderstood and people confuse themselves with their expectations and emotions and mystical fantasies. Law of attraction quite simply put is allowing spirit and intentions aligned with truth to shape your life. Influencers then rope in all sorts of nonsense with that including all sorts of crazy promises to sell you a course.

I mean yeah a lot of relationships are fairly immature but don’t be too harsh in your judgement. We learn through mistakes and life. And a relationship can be a really beautiful thing. “Falling in love” it’s a really powerful and wonderful experience even if it’s a bit immature. Love matures, relationships mature and they can be really fun. It’s great to have someone to call your family.

I completely agree with you. Maybe the only way introverts are at a disadvantage is that socializing might not be as enjoyable for them. If you are doing something you don't enjoy you won't often times do as well as someone who is enjoying themselves. But yeah as an introvert nothing is really stopping you, your low energy from socializing may make for some awful approaches though. But it's possible to pull even with low energy game if you have self esteem.

I don't agree with a lot of the words and framing you use because it puts you at the affect of your emotions, more in a victim like state: "out of the blue", "tendencies." You are the creator of your emotions not the victim of them. the process might be out of your awareness like when you're riding a bike and not focusing on doing it but you are still doing it and with remembrance you can steer that bike and ride it how you wish, encountering different terrain along the way. Fundamentally, you are precisely correct though. Setting aside material inputs like you did, your emotions are created by your beliefs, which your beliefs are your choice when you go back to them. If you are creating a painful emotion you call depression there is a belief you are not conscious of which is not true and not in agreement with your divine nature, which needs no justification for it's value and existence. You feel less depression when you are conscious of truth because the lie you hold onto that creates depression is seen through.

Suit yourself, my words aren't connecting with you. I'm not here to debate anything. I just know this is true what I shared for me and it lead me to resolve for myself what you described. I did not say your belief is conscious. I said you need to make what you believe conscious through self inquiry. This is another sneaky way of misunderstanding, splitting words.

You are unconsciously creating it, you are not aware of how you are doing it, but you are doing it. Who else could be doing it? I do not doubt you feel discomfort. I empathize with you there. I know you feel bad and I'm sorry you feel this way, what you are experiencing is real of course. We can set that aside and actually look to see how to get to the root and understand how and why you are choosing to create this experience for yourself. Your discomfort is being created by your beliefs. You are believing something that is not true. You created that belief somewhere along your journey due to a misconception. It might have even been helpful for you at some point, it might not have been deliberate, you might have learned it from someone else, but nevertheless you formed it unintentionally or not and it continues to this day. Possibly about life, yourself, your value, something you can't accept, etc. This is why self inquiry is so important here. When you deny your hands are not on the steering wheel here, that you are not the creator, you are making yourself a victim of your discomfort. Nothing I am writing is abstract or philosophical. It is on the complete contrary. it couldn't be put into more plain English. There is some belief you are unconscious of which needs the light of consciousness shined on it so you can understand it and answer your own questions and see for yourself if you wish to continue to believe it or not. it will remain unresolved until then.

Sometimes silence is best

You need to take complete and total responsibility for this. You are getting lost in emotions and misunderstandings when you start describing this experience. have you seen a mouse run on a wheel before without going anywhere? You need to be completely honest with yourself and own your beliefs. You are creating this emotion and issue, which it comes from a belief. Somewhere in your belief system you are holding onto something that is not true for your true self. Are you familiar with self inquiry? Take a couple deep breaths and own it. Go get a pen and piece of paper. write: "I am choosing to create this issue because _______." Keep writing answers. Write what you think/believe not what you feel. Look up "Wu Wei Wisdom" on YouTube specifically the "Golden Thread Process." A very powerful self inquiry method. You are confusing yourself because there are a number of things you do not yet understand about emotions, beliefs and what you label the mind. Do not spend more time describing your internal feelings and going into trying to locate it and whatnot. That is just a sophisticated way for you to continue to dilute yourself because you aren't grounding it in the source of where it is coming from. You are putting the kart before the horse. On some level you are lying to yourself, you aren't conscious of how right now for a number reasons, a good bit which you will come to discover and understand because they are your own personal story. Fundamentally you are believing something which is not true for your spirit. You need to really fully understand why and decide if you wish to no longer lie to yourself and live with integrity or continue the self deluding.

I've started drinking wine again recently and realized how pleasant it is to get tipsy and how wine has medicinal properties for socializing and relating to people. To be honest if you are surrounded by good company, in good health, and have your life in decent order you can have some various shifts in consciousness, similar to psychedelics, on wine. When you are a bit tipsy and start having deep conversation. There is a sense of fullness and oneness when you use alcohol in a positive way. Wine is also an excellent aphrodisiac. I've been married for around a year now and I've found the passion I used to have with my wife isn't as spicy as it used to be, it's a bit challenging to keep the super horny tear their clothes off energy when you've been with someone for 6 years. You've basically heard your girl taking a shit and had enough arguments to take away some of the sexual mystery. But wine has a way of brining this back. I definitely think red and white wine when used maturely are excellent for growth, it has has it's place in the toolbox along side mdma, marijuana and psychedelics. It's an age old elixir.

Using the word goy

Ok got it you have a more non traditional lifestyle and are into poly. Yeah I know women can get freaky. I’m not really into group sex except the occasional threesome and it’s always MFF, I am not interested in ever having another guy in the equation. I’m not rich and famous and extroverted enough to have my own harem or orgy of women lining up to sleep with me though which is the dream of course but not the main pursuit of my life. I’m fine with just the occasional woman joining in and that’s really all I’m interested in. The idea of a mistress would be cool too but that’s more of an escape or fantasy.

The only other option is be incredibly rich and famous and even then you may have to do some coercing

5 wives 😂🤣 you won’t even want 1 sometimes if you’re planning to be with a hot white girl too id probably adjust your expectations. Just cheat or get a mistress or make sure she’s bi so she’s down to have some of her pretty friends join in bedroom

So Bolsonaro won?

There’s a ton of high quality YouTube content though. I’d say it’s mostly the shorts and reels that are affected so heavily. Don’t get me wrong there is occasionally some ai used by creators I like. They use it more for the packaging like the thumbnail and occasionally some of the graphics or still photos used inside. It’s occasionally alright for thumbnails when referencing real photos and not overdoing it. I don’t watch any ai slop or people who overdo it.

Government in Brazil is pretty weak in general. If anything the worse that can come there is more of what’s been happening which is almost a like failed state. At least in Rio it was kinda unclear what the government even does there. The city is dangerous as hell and dirty and all the public institutions suck. They kinda upkeep the infrastructure though. No clue what the left was doing there even though the right is probably far worse. I know some social programs under the left lead to an increase in the quality of life among the very poor in Brazil which the country has many of.

I’ll message you it I’ve decided I’m going to start putting energy into learning public speaking and story telling. I would like to do talking head videos in addition to travel content and I realized that being able to talk really well on camera and compose thought provoking ideas and tell stories would be one of the most powerful skill sets for me to learn. Just being able to talk really freely for 10-15 minutes on topics I want to share would be really valuable for me.

@Leo Gura Can I ask you a favor please? I won’t ask much of your time. Could you please share any sources you used to develop your public speaking? I know you are very authentic on camera and you speak with conviction which makes you a strong speaker. Do you read from a script or notes? You compose your entire piece with any supporting details or bullets then just speak and about what you know? Did you read any books or learn from anyone on speaking and composing your ideas into a concise 1 hour video? Thanks for sharing this.

Granted a car like a ten year old Honda or Toyota carries zero social proof. I don't strive or really put any energy into this, it's not my dream. But I bet it does feel nice to get approval from a bunch of horny girls on the street as you drive by in a million dollar car.

Are you wanting to earn more money? If yes, why are you wanting to earn more money?

I'll answer your questions honestly the best I can. Some of my answers may not directly answer them because of my world view. Our overall worldview can really shape and form the questions we ask and sometimes certain questions assume things which may or may not be true or open for a different interpretation. I've reworded your word work into my own definition here: How many people practice spirituality or live in accordance with their inner truth? I think it is difficult to say. It isn't something I believe you can really quantify. I know there are people who regularly compromise their commitment to truth, honesty and authenticity. Plenty of people roll around in the mud. I also know there are plenty of principled people who choose not lie to themselves and also a lot of people in between who aren't doing things perfectly. I know I don't do it perfectly, I have chosen before old beliefs and unconscious behavior because I was disconnecting something within myself. So In terms of numbers I really don't know. In terms of people I spend time with I would say they aren't compromising their commitment to truth, honesty and authenticity more than I am myself. There are people I do not spend time with because I do not agree with their behaviors or have enough in common with them to put time and energy into. From my experience I would say probably 1/4 people I meet while socializing I can relate to and 1/8 are worth exchanging contacts with and possibly putting time/energy into. I work a lot and have a few friends and am married so my energy tends to go to these people but I make around 1-3 friends a year worth putting regular time into. I would need clarifying on what you mean by conscious here. Do you mean not compromising her commitment to truth, honesty and authenticity? I've met a good bit of girls who are pretty straight forward and clear about who they are. They aren't perfect either at it but they are pretty clear in what they want and are secure in who they are. Of course there are plenty of girls I have met who do seem really disconnected and believe a lot of crazy things. I have met a lot of girls who aren't physically attractive for me either as well as ones who are stunning. Age 25-30 I would say again I can't say any more or less people are compromising their commitment to truth, honesty and authenticity. It's pretty much the same as adults. Plenty of older people live a lie their entire lives. To be honest I can't really answer your questions from this point because it is difficult to really know these things as you keep redefining and adding any number of parameters that are deeply personal to the group. Your definition and the way you interpret someone as conscious can be very different from mine. I would ask you, what specific actions and behaviors would you like to see from a girl who you believe is not compromising her commitment to truth, honesty and authenticity? My perspective isn't so compatible with thinking in terms of these questions. I want to reiterate again there is nothing wrong with that or you shouldn't think this way. You don't need a relationship to be happy and whole. But I would own this belief, If you think most girls don't live up to w, x, y, z and aren't worth dating then don't date them! Nothing wrong with that. Plenty of women don't date men because they believe most men aren't w, x, y, z. I have met many girls who are young and attractive and spiritual. There are plenty of them that have their own unique little thing going and are walking a path towards truth, honesty and authenticity. So my experience has been no, I haven't met a shortage of girls from my perspective who compromise their commitment to truth, honesty and authenticity anymore than myself. But also I don't choose a partner based on that alone, I wan't a woman I enjoy spending time with, I think is beautiful, is compatible with my lifestyle too. All of this comes down to how we define things and our perspective and how we define our standards. I would recommend you inquire on this and ask yourself what specific actions and behaviors you would like to see regularly from a girl who you believe is not compromising her commitment to truth, honesty and authenticity. I would also get clear with yourself on what you deem as a girl not compromising their commitment to truth, honesty and authenticity.

I am considering starting Qi Gong as a daily practice. Anyone have a teacher they learn from? I'm thinking of doing YouTube videos then maybe studying a bit with a coach online.

@Miguel1 Just to be clear I was never arguing with you or saying you should do anything. I even said in a prior post you should live up to what you believe. I was trying to inquire into your line of thinking and beliefs because sometimes when they're reflected back clearly you can get a better understanding. The conversation started with you saying in your life you believe it's hard to find people worth relating to that are your age. Some people pushed back on this saying it isn't. You mentioned how you aren't interested in playing games and following strange rules and having to compromise your commitment to truth, honesty and authenticity. That's fine, I am in agreement if you have to sacrifice your commitment to truth, honesty and authenticity then it is not a relationship worth having. The conversation then drifted over to people not being intellectual and spiritual enough. I would wonder why you believe most or all relationships you encounter require you to sacrifice your commitment to truth, honesty and authenticity. Because from my experience I've found it's still possible to relate and have an enjoyable relationships with people without having to sacrifice my commitment to truth, honesty and authenticity. If anything I usually am the first one to do this anyway and am the first casualty of it as well, because when I'm open and loving it can be kinda unfamiliar and I will retreat into my own familiar self sabotaging pattern, but I take responsibility for that and I don't place that on other people.

It's hard to know what to share with you what I know since your post is really broad and somewhat vague. The thing about money is that one size fits all information isn't something that works. Everyone has their own unique situation, strengths, weaknesses, etc. Getting ideas here can help with insights and what you can work on. What is your current skillset? Earning money is very much about having valuable skills and assets which help other people meet their needs. What do you do for a living?

I don't like hypotheticals, just speaking from raw experience and the people I know. You listed a lot of useful things to cultivate like skills. Obviously your timing and time management plays a role. Yes it is true that people can still become financially successful in a tough economy. There are also people who came on hard times during good times as well. I would look out the window and get a feel for what the weather is and what is rolling in. Business is always tricky because things are always changing and you got to be really engaged with it, AI is the big thing now. You have a tone of people toiling away at that and only a certain % of them will be sucessful at it. You need to constantly be keeping your ear to the ground. Once you get a bunch of properties and can rent them to people you can usually sorta relax but most people need to build up to a critical level of wealth before they don't have to think about money anymore.
