Something Funny

I am also wondering about this. I feel that as a newbie, I will benefit from learning everything from scratch.

Just bought the J.C. Stevens's book. It will take a few weeks to arrive though.

They didn't, there are lots of young people who are right wingers.

Lol, the forum is super laggy today.

@ZenSwiftthank you, not sure how trustworthy chatgpts interpretation is though.

what's that? found it, thank you

@ExploringReality you are right, I actually have it but forgot that there were books about kriya yoga.

@Leo Gura what resources do you recommend for getting started with Kriya yoga?

@Leo Guraregarding your last post, maybe it's a pointless question, but do you not consider psychedelics "human"?

@koops why not? How else do you disillusion stage green and move on to yellow? Also, why should we look at country scale? At the world scale it might move those stage red people abd their children up the spirala quicker.

I just feel like most pickup guys are gross (no offence to anyone) and I don't enjoy spending time with them. I think it actually adds more pressure and makes me more stressed. I think I could find just normal friends to go out with, but then I guess it would be weird from their perspective if I approached girls all the time, instead of being with them.

@Leo Guraat what point do you need to find wingmen if you can just start solo as you've mentioned above?

All I find is just random garbage, often AI, made with zero effort or creativity to farm views. Is there some affirmations channel that puts some heart into their work? It can be affirmations, mantras, guided meditation / whatever. I just need something to listen to when I want to relax and de-stress, while being too tired to do something proactive.

Nvm, I will just listen to good music

Also, nothing cringy like "affirmations for wealth, success, and abundance 💅"

Same place as you?

Sure you do.

And you know that how?

I take zero pictures of myself because I really hate it and I hate looking at them afterwards. But I would like to set up a dating profile because it feels like an easy, low effort way to easy myself into dating overall. You just scroll it once aday, swipe right, and see if anyone responds. I've considered hiring to do a photoshoot with, but it would be weird if all my pictures would be the same outfit, location, right? I think they are supposed to be a bunch of casual, lifestyle pictures: holidays, some social event, a selfie, etc. But I don't have any. So know it feels like I need to live for a year, collecting pictures, just to set up a profile. I would rather ditch the whole idea at that point, I think.

I would like to get into investing, eventually but I as far as I understand, standard investing is pretty corrupt. You just buy whatever stocks you expect to turn more profits, disregarding what kind of company it is and what kind of practices allow them to grow their stock price. By ethical investing I mean investing in companies that align with your values and things that at least don't harm the planet / society. Is it possible to do that and still make money or will it basically be charity at this point? The main challenge I see is that there are very few companies that would meet the criteria and also have publicly traded stocks. Most conscious businesses are smaller companies. Also, when a company goes public, it pretty much always corrupts them and makes them worse, even if it was some good business initially. Are there are some other ethical ways to invest, other than buying company stocks that I am not considering?

This seems to be Leo's opinion as of late. Meditation will not bring any results unless you do it in a hardcore way. Is this referring to the enlightenment specifically or are there literally no benefits from meditating for a short time like this? Like concentration abilities or some other mental benefits. Would there be any positive, long lasting changes to my mind that will lay the foundation for future spiritual work? Or am I better of doing something else?

I see, thanks.

@Leo Gura regarding the protein powders, do you think the same applies to creatine specifically? Would you also stay away from it?

Leo did like 200+ trips and spent thousands of hours on this work in general. No, not everyone would be doing it.
