Over the past month, Ive had like 5 dreams where I am beating up my dad is some form (Kicking, punching, slapping him, etc). Does anyone have any experience with dream interpretation and know what this means? I kind of have a strained relationship with him because I hate any advice he gives me about my life or future, but Ive never had a physical altercation with him.

^^ This is my favorite of his practical videos. Once you grasp that there are things that can only be gotten through deliberate consistent effort over a course of 10+ years, you'll radically shift much of your timewasting behaviors. ^^ This is my fav profound philosophical video of his. Weird that when I searched on youtube "The social matrix actualized" it didnt show up on the search results, only the clips of it. I also like the video on exquisite balance along with the duality series and myth of science

You have to start with baby steps to build momentum. Make a list of small things you can do everyday consistently to improve your skill. The brands you listed are like 100+ years old and have had literally a century of iteration and improvement. Dont compare yourself to those, compare yourself to who you were yesterday and just be consistent with tiny improvements. You move a mountain by carrying small stones

"Jack of all trades, master of none, often times better than master of one". I think you should aim to be a jack of trades with skills that work well together and synthesize to form a unique and valuable skill set. I also think its possible to master many areas of life. Take leo for example, he has a very high degree of skill in philosophy, spirituality, speaking/communication, game design, programming, graphic design, marketing, etc and it all blends together to form something that very few people have.

They used to live there. They were most likely doing fucked up shit there too

John anthony is a hater and only says that because he's a competitor in the same niche. If someone goes to Owens bootcamp, they dont go to Johns. No way is Owens that low, unless he has ridiculously high standards, thats like 2 girls a year. Also JA focuses way too much on laycount and his number is inflated because he goes outside the USA and does not have very high standards.

Yes it is lol, Jeffy is a great speaker. I was actually at this seminar which is why it jumped into my mind.

The solution is to do exactly what you did before and just walk away. You dont even want to waste time and energy with those psychos. Dont get caught in the script and just move on with your night

I apreciate everyone who responded This is probably the main cause. I find myself almost getting into imaginary arguments with him which in turn effects my emotional state. I need to work on letting go of any need for approval of others. Very true. Ive heard people say that the story of the father is embedded in the story of the son, where the son is reacting against the perceived failure of his father. Thanks, Ive never really tried shadow work because it can be painful and emotionally laborious. Thinking on that question, I guess I want to beat him up because he doesnt respect my values and I feel like he is trying to put his dreams and aspirations on me, even though they would never suit my personality type. Like he has suggested that I go to law school, or get a PhD, or get some government job, but someone who really knew me would know that I would despise academia and any type of job that wouldnt allow me to express myself. This is also a big one. I feel like Ive grown and matured like 2 decades in the past few years, but my parents do not really recognize that and still treat me as if Im an incompetent child. Really what I need to do is have a real conversation and express how i really feel and what I really want to do with my life

go to notifications, then notification settings, and then check the slider for "Ping when someone mentions me"

if you are starting off poor, you will not make any money investing. Investing is for people who already have a high income, like $250k+. If youre under the age of 30 or are making less than $100k a year, youre better off trying to massively increase your income instead of trying to get a measly 7% return on the stock market. Invest in yourself through coaches, courses, information, skills, experience, education, etc. A real world example is would you rather invest $1000 and in a year end up having $1070 or would you rather take that $1000 and buy 100+ books that will give you the knowledge to make $1million a year

I usually watch these types of ASMR and pretend im super famous and have achieved all my life goals. Sort of as a law of attraction/visualization thing but also can be seen as a cope or escapism lol. They do work for me going to sleep tho

If you have to ask this question, the answer is no Talk to 100 more girls

@Reciprocality lol i think im retarded cause I still have no idea what youre trying to say Are you saying that you should be in a state of fear when your in the middle of a big city? I used to live in NYC and always felt relatively safe and carefree even at like 2AM in somewhat sketchy parts of the city. Why would being overly civilized evoke disgust/repulsion in you?

WHat in the hell does this long ass run on sentence mean.

You need another "addiction" to replace the weed. Try to redirect all impulses to smoke into something productive. Like whenever you get the urge to smoke, do 10 pushups, or read 10 pages of a book, or journal, or stretch, or meditate, or do anything that isnt weed. You can be addicted to anything so may as well be addicted to personal growth. In my experience the first week is the hardest, you probably wont sleep at all. After a month, you wont have any cravings and after 90+ days, your full cognitive faculties should be back to normal. Trust me you dont even know what youre missing when you have constant brainfog from smoking

Why all the hate for JP? I feel for the most part he offers good advice, has helped thousands of young men, and is overall coming from a good place. Just set aside the toxic/unhealthy stage blue aspects. Many people on this forum could benefit greatly from implementing Petersons practical advice. Eat the grapes, spit out the seeds

@Erol I just looked up that book on amazon because I was unfamiliar with it and looked through the table of contents. It looks good, I might pick it up. I bet there will be a lot of overlap/similarities. Reviews seem positive as well Just reading the synopsis, he is definitely correct about lack of energy being caused by excessive tension in your body. Ralston also talks about this in his book. Its only when you release all tension that your energy can flow freely throughout your body. Tension = wasted energy

Try this exercise. Stand in front of a mirror and try to feel every single muscle in your body and try to release all tension. Try to be in a constant state of release and letting go and try to feel every part of your body. I find it best to focus on your hands, fingers, and toes and then work up from there. What will tend to happen is your arms will tighten up and slowly start to raise unconsciously. Notice any tension and release. THERE IS ALWAYS A DEEPER LEVEL OF RELEASE/LETTING GO. Shut off all thoughts and just feel your body. Try for 10 minutes to start The best book for identifying with your body is "Zen Body Being" by Peter Ralston. I got this exercise from that and there are a bunch more, but the core of it is developing sensitivity to every tiny piece of your body, noticing the held tension, and releasing

Ive done it a couple times. I also threw up the first time, but that was a few hours after I took it. I felt a sort of body high as well and felt way more sociable. Never experienced waves of fear though. I probably wont do it again, If I did i would probably go for Kava which im pretty sure is derived from kratom. As many have said, its pretty addictive and ive heard of people being hooked on it similar to painkillers

@OBEler Ive heard that tripping on a combo of vitamin D, vitamin C, B12, and some time in nature can cure it

I think this. They wouldnt need to speak, they would recognize each others awakening just upon seeing each other and sit in silence because there is nothing for them to talk about. 6 Buddhas could be a different story...
