  1. A lot of celebrities most likely wanted to become celebrities because they felt lower, a lot of them are very insecure and hold on to that fame tightly. But they can hide it and appear alpha, so as far as their fans know they are. Ones that truly are alpha or a better way to say it, one's that are truly comfortable within themselves, most likely became famous because they were just good at their art and the fame was a by product of that. Those that just wanted to be famous are most likely uncomfortable with themselves or beta if you like
  2. As far as I can see you're either an incel or very sympathetic to their ideologies to the point where you believe what they're saying to be truth. The thing with statistics is that you can justify whatever perspective you have with them. The problem is that if youre research is not experiential then the stats can trap you. Think about it like this, you've read online something somebody has written in a forum or on reddit where they've quoted some study about how it's hard for most men to attract women, (you probably haven't read the full study yourself). This person that has written it has most likely not spent time trying to become better at meeting and communicating with the opposite sex, so they have no direct experience of what they're talking about. Getting rejected once or twice doesn't count, that's like me picking up a guitar twice, not being able to play santanas chords in 'maria' and then claiming that black men can't play the guitar because stats. So you've now read this online you yourself most likely have little experience in this field, but because it justifies how you feel you take it as truth. The only way you can know something is first hand, so go out there try and meet women, you may fail, look at why you failed, look at what people who are successful in this field are doing, improve, start seeing some success etc. The fact is whatever field you want to talk about most people don't succeed not because of stats but because they're not willing to go through the necessary process to succeed, it's never easy. What is easy is protecting your ego by citing some reason outside of yourself for not doing what you want.
  3. Careful with the use of the word 'better', you're making yourself superior to others and thus concluding that they should listen to you because you're 'right' which actually shows that you still have to progress in spiral dynamics. You can't just get someone to adopt this model like that, the same way we can't convince you not keep pushing it on other people.
  4. Ego cares about whatever you believe to be real, so for example if you believed you were a loyal citizen of Germany in the 1940s you might kill and die to preserve that persona and ideology . It doesn't make it real but the key is that you believe its real. So yes physical survival is important but can be trumped if you believe something else is more important
  5. Yeah I think that's ultimately the best combo erp and act, it's the only thing that tackles it directly, glad you've got better though
  6. My opinion on the best treatment for ocd
  7. Hey man, thanks for watching and thanks for the reply. I agree with you, AA is very powerful, so powerful that i think its methodology should be stretched to help all of those with any addiction and many others with mental health issues. Essentially alcoholism is a mental disease but we as a society tend to just focus on the alcohol part of it, as if the person is just choosing to drink alcohol. With regard to the message in the video theres definitely a link and the idea behind this video and other videos im going to post, is to take the methodology from AA and also elements of non-duality and use it as a way to switch perspective on OCD and anxiety as i know many people are suffering out there and this may help them. But youve encouraged me to look into AA even deeper and see what else could applicable, but yeah i love the message and the idea of giving up on the perceived self to sort everything out. Einstein said 'you cant solve problems on the same level they were created' ie you cant solve the problem of self with self lol
  8. Shot a video to help with anxiety and ocd which I think ties a lot into non duality, check it out if you're looking for advice on these topics
  9. OK so reading your post I think there are some misunderstandings you have about non-duality, which is to be expected as you're new to the idea of it. First I think you're equating it to other ideologies, as in will this way of thinking help me the person. So you're looking for something to add to the you that you think you are, actually non-duality is a dropping or at least a questioning of the who you are. You are non-dual already, if you think about it you can't be you and also observe 'you', that creates a duality which is not real. So the journey is more about the realisation of what you're not rather than what you are. So you don't 'get' anything from this but there is freedom from self but no freedom for the self. You think the problem is that your self is not good enough but the real problem is you're attached to your self. If you think of the film the matrix, Neo is trapped because he believes himself to be the avatar in the matrix, once he gets out, its not necessarily better but it gives him freedom from what he thought himself to be. He's still him but he just knows he's not the avatar. The question is it worth believing in is probably not the right question, but a better question might be is it worth believing you are who you think you are?
  10. Amsterdam is going toward green and yellow but i think generally the world is orange and below with green poking through, so we're a bit off of yellow society. All you can do is embrace the work that has to be done helping the progression, so wherever you go just make sure its conducive to whatever youre trying to bring into the world, music in this case
  11. You have some really good savings there, just an idea but property is pretty cheap in scotland so might be an idea to buy to let you can usually get pretty good yields, realistically youve got a deposit for at least 2 places. If not you could look a something abroad, i know the stamp duty is a bit of a hurdle at the moment so maybe something in spain or further and air bnb it. Other than that you could look into stocks although that could be fairly long term. I sell on amazon myself so seeing as you work for them you could do really well with a 10k investment for example. Or if you want more traditional route, have a think of what your dream job would be and allow yourself to believe you could do it and then look into how much the training would be for it. You have a good start off point and anything is probably possible for you to do you just have to really strategise and work out what you want to do
  12. What sets coral apart from turquoise ie mooji sadhguru etc?
  13. There's quite a few options depending on where you're based and what platform you're selling on. Also if you really need PayPal you can open another PayPal account with different details, I've got 3 PayPal accounts I think
  14. 'school is not a place for smart people' -Rick Sanchez
  15. But who sets what's normal? So for example, say you were unaware you were in a mental institution where everyone was for lack of a better word crazy. The normal and functional way of being in that environment is to be what we would consider crazy, would you strive to be normal and functional within that environment even though deep down something felt not quite right? Or would you try and look beyond that to see what is true?
  16. You can look at it like the devil is your ego/false self and God is that which witnesses your ego/false self. The illusion is that you believe you are the false self, but yes technically you are both although you would cease to be both if you realise you are not ego
  17. It's like a dog chasing its tail, it doesn't realise it is the tail already
  18. He probably means well and theres lots of good info in terms of body movement, bioenergetics etc so theres value, but ive never really resonated with him and i cant my finger on why not but it is what it is, you resonate with some people and not others
  19. Yeah its probably not worth it, i do like talking about it but i would only do so if the person was extremely open minded or they asked me about it. If its the first time someones hearing about it, its impossible for them to switch from what they currently believe to what youre telling them as it will most likely contradict everything they 'know' so its a big ask. Ask yourself whether you wouldve just bought in if someone had told you about non-duality a few years ago. In terms of your family, just find the easiest way to tell them what they need to hear, you could be going to a camp instead of calling it a retreat for example
  20. I was gonna make this point that youve touched upon here, but what i noticed is that they love drawing you in to whatever emotions theyve got, in fact they live for it. So they may say stuff specifically to rile you and get you emotionally invested, it can even be quite subtle, but i find it helps just to recognise the tricks they do and dont get caught by the bait. Like you said the best way really is non-reaction, if they realise they can never get an emotional reaction from you, they will soon give up and move on to the next person
  21. going to the gym used to give me that but not as much anymore, ive always found sport is the best way. I used to play football but cant anymore because of injury so ive recently started boxing which feels really difficult because im not used to it but ideal to get into the flow because theres a lot to learn. Also i find having a good discussion or talk with friends or family, but im also finding ways to incorporate more flow, i think its one of the most important things in life as a whole and its definitely not talked about enough
  22. Good stuff, i also suffer from OCD/anxiety and can agree 100% reassurance is really the thing that just keeps the cycle going. Feels hard not to do it but its so important
