Trigger warnings behind every bundle of toughs, getting to the point or setting the context, a bit of rambling, and there is a large amount of words needed to convey subtler things.

Maybe it was me. I am so preacy sometimes, especially behind the keyboard. I really don't like SD, because it suddenly becomes like jack of all trades model, when it comes to every behaviour you can possibly cognize... and a circle-jerk on this forum. Ohh you meant the OP. Yeah, that is common, and so much else! Do not resonate at all with me. Somebody who puts continious effort into something is jusy bound to make something worthwile.

A voice of reason. Thanks. It's always a cherry on top. An advice, you didn't even asked for. Too many times man, too many times. Just about every corner you can just (literally) "get" those kind of advices projected onto you. Like when an alcoholic is teaching you discipline e.c.t.

I picked guitar when I was 18 and its completely the opposite for me. Quite sad for you really.

I haven't seen, but I will take your word for it, because there has to be inadequacy in competition for limited resources as in this case - the preferable partner. So do I discriminate and so do so many people, probably almost all. You kinda will be discriminating and filtering out for your survival advantage, based on your ideas about prosperity, fertility in a woman and your personal needs. About the black women. Sure, but it's mostly cultural. They grow up in corrupt places, hoods, pimp culture, gang culture e.c.t., there is probably a lot of trauma growing up, including things like rape e.c.t., some of the girls you may be not swiping are escorts and things like that, you never really know, and sure a part of that has to be based in racism and negative stereotypes. About the intelligence, i have not commonly heard that claim about genetics determining intelligence, especially in the delf-dev sphere; it's about how people are brought up. But actual racists do come up with such claims as evident in the past. Peace man, was good to talk with you, I don't want to dump anymore on her big journal.

But that's not really racism. Racism is like when you believe the Blacks are somehow incapable of being as intelligent as other races, because they are black, or that the Jews somehow should be inferior to Aryan race, and should be sent to live somewhere else or get murdered. It's more being discriminated because of your body features. What you are talking about is attraction preferences. Some women will turn you on and some off, you may not even know why, unless you really think about it. You may like curly hair, big hips, or short or tall women or whatever, i think it's perfectly fine, just like choosing what brand of smartphone you prefer as your new phone, could be literally anything. And in the first world dating is a free market, generally speaking. Sure there are some biased forces from your family, society and whatever, but it's up to the both dating party preferences,

Why do you find them distasteful, if I may ask? Just curious, I am not judging you. Well, for example, I would date women from any race (yes, really). The problem is their values, parents, but that's a different story. If we keep Africa poor and corrupt then no doubt such people will come out of that, but then, it's about the person you're dating.

Really? How did you come to that conclusion? Barely any green? Stage red? It's either political, satirical, borderline ridiculous " like death metal", poetic, with complex ideas artistic, instrumentally complex and innovative, dreamy, energizing, genuine, expressive, passionate, progressive, emotional, creative, funny e.c.t. I know a lot of bands who literally sing about the conceptual notions about enlightenment, but I just can't be bothered to post them here. I am really starting to question whether SD is a good model to evaluate art. ART.

Coffee, chocholate, refined sugars and heavy meals in general makes me prone to jacking off, first two being the main ones. And alcochol of course, but I don't drink. Ohh and onion, garlic, asetofida and other nervous stimulants also.

Yes, your life will become not sexuality centric as it is now.

Congrats dude, very happy for you! https://www.facebook.com/groups/DjentShitposting/permalink/2807305456186492/

Dude I wish I was as skilled as I would with guitar if I started young. I would totally slay. Consider that statement. There is a lot going for you. Try new creative challenges, xenharmonic music, write violin for metal or jazz, add ridiculous effects, play more strings like cello and do a cool project, find or forge a unique sounding band e.c.t. YOU LITERALLY HAVE ALL THE SKILLS TO DO THAT.

Nothing but respect with your decision, as it is your life. However I wanted to challenge the paradigm a bit, if I may. Now is all that a long term solution for "irresistible" urge of sexual desire?

Must be those djent vibes? Yeah you should tell him that you know better whom should you have sex with. I have heard that there is anyway a lot of sexual harrasment/misconduct in homo interactions.

Do you live in a house currently? The main advantages of a house is a pretty reasonable guarantee that you will sleep at night and that you can do whatever you want or need to, any time. And for a productive person with a large vision this is very important. If you live in apt. You may need to bend towards your neighbours or when you have a conflict with them for whatever reason, it may turn really nasty as it did for me, just because I wanted to play guitar, without an amplifier, day time, around 4 hours a week. Still some older people and people with kids really managed to sleep deprive me intentionally. Another thing is that you will have privacy. Suppose you want to have sex with your bf, in your orgasm, you would probably prefer to make some noise or watch something loud or even to act on a project all night, becasue you feel inspired. +going outdors outside your house is very nice. So there you go, I think these are good reasons from personal experience. Ohh here's another. Suppose you start coaching, teaching people or making periodic work related calls, or invite people to your appartment for those things. Guess what, same problem, it may come for a price, because somebody didn't like the probably acceptable noise you are making. So it might be some other people that may not be logical and are angry and are just looking to project their hatred for life and they may stalk, listen to what you do behind the wall, bang for random reasons, they will find how. Please consider these factors and if those haven't happened to you, congrats.

Ahh yes, it's that time of the week again, cofee time with @Emerald ...with alot of explanations.

There is actually a valid point behind and there is an example of this. For example the more profound knowledge Leo acquires, the harder is to transmit it, so in order for that transmission to be as effective as possible, he has to take the burden of making it possible to understand and as easy to understand to whom he is transmitting and if he failed, what's the value of his en-devour to raise the human consciousness. This is applicable to every field. Yes, the consumer/the one who is getting the transmission also can be at fault in many ways. So in short Leo has to use analogies, images, some sort of engaging exercises, meditation, detox, reminders, abstractions, reference to other people, even logical contradictions. emotion e.c.t. in a mix that would work, and not only that. In a mic that would work as efficiently as possible, so in education this is extremely relevant, and valuable facts, experiences of life can be transmitted trough various means and previous education - even things like shaktipat or a satori experience can aid in understanding certain literature.

Mineral water? Bornjomi or smth? Very tasty.

THAT is just fabolous! I am really happy to hear that and I am really happy for you. Would love to hear you jam, although it's optional. You got a good 30+ minute run last time, hope to hear new stuff from you and collaborate in the future. I really think you might be missing a bit of self-expression on the instrument you clearly know how to play and are good at it. Cheers! I also have good news, I have my song almost ready, the demo I sent you.

I could suggest going to events you love and attracting people due to your interests/hobies. I have found the best relationships there.

What about just playing some chugs?

I am REALLY curious what do you really think taken the consideration various topics you have covered over the years, like stage turquise problems, self-bias, cult-psychology, religions like islam, limitations of logic, various mystical traditions, guru-disciple tradition, radical openmindedness e.c.t You will probably write something else here and be careful of your words. This is not an attack, i would be genuinely interested, but I guess I will never know, no matter what you write here. For example, if you look at him or watch his videos, you will feel it. Whatever, i guess this is waste of time, let whoever wants to argue and criticize to argue and criticize whatever. But I will say this to other forum members, sadhguru exclusive enters this territory of "illogical bullshittery" which is pretty much the same territory as a Nithyananda speaking and he is merely nothing but a modern version of Osho.

@The Buddha I tought I was the only one here endorsing him. His akashik readings and personal akashik readings by his kids, the practices of completion, samhara daghana kriya, third eye meditations (yes plural), living enlightenment book, and other books... where do I begin to describe his years of work from 2004. This guy literally saved my life 95% alone compared to the rest of self-help industry. I totally endorse him, bur secretly. I don't want any arguments, I have enough already. He is like shiva to me, he is the first guy I will listen to and I cannot explain why. It is surreal, but it's true.

Absolutely, and more intense backlash, because a retreat is something else than sitting at home.
