  1. If you are serious about being a painter (and it looks like you are), you will probably get the most mileage out of Cal Newport's books Deep Work and So Good They Can't Ignore You, along with Mastery by George Leonard. Check out the reviews for those books, see if it's worth a purchase, and make you get some real applications out of it. I deeply relate with your family/friends situation and have considered posting my own topic asking for help on this issue, but after some contemplation I realize I'm going to have to "put up with it." Try taking small steps to strengthen your current bonds, initiating small talk, helping your mother more around the house, or calling up your friends to simply catchup on things. And make sure you are genuinely interested in these people enough to do it, unless you have some legitimate reasons to become so distant you at least owe it to your mother for aiding you finiancially. If you're coming out of this rabbit hole you gonna need to think holistically here: how can you have a healthy intimate relationship if you can't maintain the love for your friends and family?
  2. Can you elaborate on this? I haven't read The Wheel of Time
  3. I don't think meaninglessness or depression was the first thing that comes to mind when people discover they could lucid dream.
  4. Wonder what happened with him getting on Curt Jaimungal's podcast in February
  5. Successful, self-actualized, healthy-living people:
  6. I totally agree with your OP, and you can call me a fool, but my first orgasm was something I didn't know I had, I just looked at my hands and thought "the fuck is this stuff?" and then my germaphobia thought I had AIDS You can have egos trying to cement their "awakening" like I keep seeing around here, or you can have cases like Suzanne Segal (Collision with the Infinite) who had a sudden awakening without realizing all the theory and suffered from it. There's a legitimate concern somewhere between the two. There's also the notion that there are naturally more "mental masturbation" people than "actually-doing-the-work" people posting here, since posting here is technically not doing the work
  7. @Kshantivadin What are your "old life and bad habits"?
  8. I've watched that raw clip, don't know anything about how spiritual it is, but knowing from the context it really tells you just how much us humans are willing to go and risk simply out of pure petty spite. Morbid curiosity's quite amazing
  9. Preferably a powder that can discreety mix in drinks :)))
  10. I would imagine that the Conscious Communication episode would come first but yeah, I'm with this one. Especially if it covers relationships as a general whole (friendships, family, associations) not just couples
  11. Oh the reply chain was talking about Sadhguru, my mistake
  12. It's the same claims Adeptus Psychonautica has criticized him for.
  13. @Carl-Richard "Conservative Fans Melt Down After Discovering He's Gay" To be fair, even Sky Williams who's also gay didn't clue in on it either ??
  14. @ethanb121 You think you're in a cult because it changed your life??
  15. The original Gigachad telling like it is :respect:
  16. In case of the mods I bet you can connect the dots if you pay attention to which ones aren't as active here anymore. Or maybe yet they're the kind of banned mods who haven't had much of a presence here in the first place ?
  17. @Carl-Richard ? That cuts through the butter perfectly right here. Worth contemplating on
  18. Looks like they're back up now ?
  19. Yeah, music's so big that you can actually make it on YT just compiling it into certain themes or moods. That's what I like about channels like Chill Music Lab, it's like they curate their tastes for you! Other channels like that that I like: playlist for traveling in empty places Moody Breakcore mix That 3 A.M. Fresh Air 'Blissful Solitude' - Ambient Mix Hardwave / Cyberpunk / Futurebass Mix Classic 90's Happy Hardcore Anthems Mix
  20. "Wow, Sadhguru, that is amazing, reality is absolutely one... Did you see that guy hit a moose with his car?" ???
  21. Let's be clear here, the real reason why we're obsessed with solipsism is because Leo hasn't uploaded a new episode yet. Luckily for us, he just announced it's coming today so looking forward to the obsessive discussion about that until the next next episode ??
  22. Finally, a 3+ hour Fallout 4 review and retrospective!
