@eTorro It's very common, your priorities change, normies keep being normies. Yet you will still crave human connections. I recommended few humans around you with whom you build a profound bond and life long relationship. This is what has worked with me. Also consider the possibility that in the path there is a pendulum between solitude and communion that oscillates in cycles.

We can be online friends How did you end up in this situation brother?

@Ishanga If you don't take seriously the elections of the country with the most powerful military force in the world I don't know what to tell you. At least don't interfere. We're reflecting about politics and a big shift in global policies with real impact in people's life. The future of the world is at stake here, this is not empty talking, there is an importance and seriousness to this topic that you're not appreciating.

My concern is the same. The timing is gonna be crucial and the democrats need to be mature and to unite around the winning candidate.

@Ishanga Excuse me if I was socially uncalibrated in our first encounters. I am acquainted with Sadghuru's teachings and they have serious limitations I was trying to point out. I'm happy you are benefiting from his teachings. You obviously are free to do your own spirituality in the way you want. I don't write much anymore in the spiritual sub forum. If the name of God appears though, I will write. I feel it is my duty to do so. I have experienced God Consciousness and it is clear to me now who has and who hasn't, by the way they write about the topic. It's not narcissism to say I am God, it's the truth, and most surely it doesn't mean what you think it means. The truth is very few will be able to explain what God actually is. Not all paths lead to God and Sadghuru won't do it. Maybe Leo does, Sri Anandamayi Ma, Shivapuri Baba or a few others. Realising all that exists is God itself is indeed very rare. If you are interested in having an Epiphany I can give some pointers. Most people honestly don't care, even when the thread name is: What is God?

In my experience, Malt is not very conducive to the breakthrough experience. Classic 5meo on the other hand is very much. So work with 5meo for the breakthrough; for deepening and longer contemplation use Malt. That's my modus operandi.

I have experienced yogic pranic breathing that didn't involve air in lungs. Why do we breathe? For energy exchange, well that process can be done also without breathing. Though I was in an extremely radical state of consciousness. It felt like breathing without air, like I could breath the energy of existence itself and that was enough to sustain the body. I was in God Consciousness when this happened, although it's a very well documented yogic attainment. It was a cool experience, I recommend it. Breaking the limit of air breathing is a mind bending experience to have. Breathing can also stop altogether in some states, you continue to exist just fine, when it's necessary breathing comes back on it's own accord. So don't force yourself back to breath, it's a common newbie error, if breathing is leaving you, let it go and when it comes back, even if it's an hour after, you lovingly welcome it back.

@Ishanga I don't get the point you want to get across. It's almost impossible to attain God without a very well rounded character, ego and life. Read my signature. Self development and maturity is not bellow attaining God Consciousness, it is crucial to it. The transcendence of the human happens through its embrace and maturity, not its denial. The finitude and limitations of my form are every day more clear to me.

@Something Funny Yes you can. I recommend to go out with your real friends and circle. Hopefully you have women as real friends. In this way, it's not an investment to maintain a social circle for getting laid but actually building rapport with your own friends and live meaningful experiences together. Like certain celebrations, finishing exams or a project at work, going on vacations with your friends to another city, things like this. As introverted as one can be, friends are important and building meaningful connections with other human beings is necessary for your inner wellbeing. Good friends care for you, so much so that they can help you meet new potential partners and even give you advice on your romantic relationships.

If one is a master musician, one can hear a song and see the level of mastery that the composer has. If I have a PhD in physics I can read a post about physics and know whether they are speculating or have real experience in the matter. In fact if you read the whole conversation this is what happened: 1) I have realised my ultimate nature as God. 2) I read a post where someone is talking about God. 3) I recognise it is speculative and point it out. 4) She recognises it's speculation and does some rationalisations. 5) Point that again 6) She closes up in defensiveness. This isn't they way one realises God either or has a truthful and mature conversation about the most important thing in the Universe. The fact that you are God. You lose here, I don't. I'm fucking God and that's the truth and what can I say? I don't want to preach anything but on the other hand I can't allow bullshit nor pretend like you aren't God either, because you are God for real and Reality, Consciousness, Self, the qualia of this moment is all Pure God. All you are seeing, hearing, sensing, touching, breathing, everything is your very own Self is God itself. This has to be realized. I can do my best to guide you to this Epiphany as Leo and many others have done with me. Otherwise I respect your dream my beloved God. God helps God to awaken to itself

I've never actually thought how I made friends, because it somehow came natural to me, not like flirting where I had to put more work to have success in. I can give you basic general advice but that you already probably know. Something that has been a breakthrough lately is the principle that Leo talked about: Social Calibration. Which I would define as the ability to surf the waves of social situations and behave in an adequate way. It has been crazy to discover how subtly uncalibrated I was in many situations, just due to a lack of experience. So I would recommend to hang out with older people than you (5+ 10+ years) and in your interactions with them you will realize immature behaviours. You then reflect and analyse why this was the case. Usually I have found out that we force things that aren't proper for a situation or lack the balls to take action in a situation where it's a calibrated move but it goes against the current. So the main point is to contemplate this concept of Social Calibration and try to become calibrated and mature in social situations. Being self aware in social situations and improving mistake by mistake. You can start now by self reflecting on your past experiences. Write a list of your most socially awkward moments and analyse why did this happen? In which ways I was uncalibrated? What would have been a socially calibrated response in that situation. This is what came up to your question, hope it helps, otherwise inquiry further.

Flirting has precise mechanics and principles. So yes, literally some skills will get you laid and other behaviours will never ever get you laid. No, I'm doing the proper natural thing. You in fact are giving him external failure while limiting the possibility of internal success plus deep frustration in the process.

Bullshit. It's hundreds of times harder to hit alone than it is to hit with your group of friends in a club. If you don't know this is because you are disconnected from the male reality or just inexperienced. I'm not making this shit up, I've tested all what I'm talking. I've gone out alone, with male friends, with female friends and in different gender proportions. The sweet spot is group of friends with more than half women and bring your buddy with you. Test it yourself, maybe in your country and geography is different but in Europe this has been my results over and over again. I invite you to prove me wrong if you say this is bullshit. Find the truth, that's what matters in the end.

If you are like that you don't need this post. But how many man are born like that? Very few, it's a thing that is built up. So are all men condemned to not get laid during that building up? Just go macho to the hardest path of value giving, mature character and iron testing. You are giving advice for the advanced and I'm giving advice to beginners and intermediates. This distinction is crucial. A virgin nineteen year old nerd reads your post and gets just a good abstract idea that can't get to put into work but if he reads my post and goes out with her female friends of school that he feels comfortable maybe he has luck and can get a good girl. Moreover, even advanced individuals will still get benefited as what I'm talking about is grounded both in principles of feminine psychology and direct experience.

Yes, that can happen. So beware if you use this technique to radiate masculinity and big dick vibes. In my case this assumption was not possible, as I was obviously making out with my girlfriend in the club and having lots of fun. Which created even more abundance.

How can you be so twisted? Can't you hit two birds with the same stone? Go out with your real friends and arrange that group so you increase your chances of getting laid? Like your usual wing and three female friends, go out and have fun. End of the story, don't create problems where there are none. Simple straight away methodology that will give you results. I hope someone tries it and experience that you have a better time and get laid more.

Exactly, you got it. First millionaire and then billionaire.

I also contemplated that possibility. Though I discarded its impact due to the systemic machinery that is running the show and the inertia it already has. Even if Trump realized he is a devil, he would still try to pull it off because he's already too invested in this elections.

Oh yes!!! I once looked into the mirror and saw all my devilry, egoism, bias, bullshit and lies. It was a pleasure to meet Satan, it was me! That bastard was all the time my own devilry and projection; pure existential bias to my favour and my best interests. I was humbled, it's very beneficial to be humbled by Truth.

I enjoyed reading your perspective, though why you constricted your post to the view of non duality? You have good points that are calling for an opening and blooming beyond the limits of non duality. This is True. God is Reality itself. I am God is Truth. This one point keeps getting ever more profound, like swimming from the beach to an infinite ocean of Godliness to drown again and again into: I am God. God is me. I am Infinity. I would also have loved to hear your inquiry into the nature of Infinity, which is central to the discussion of God, Reality and Self.

@Leo Gura Game has to be built up on top of vanilla social skills. If you can't attract normal friends (of all walks of life) it's unrealistic to attract a sex partner. In this way, the feminine psyche plays huge importance to social acceptance and particularly on the female validation and attention you have. How did I crack this nut finally? Go partying only with male friends VS go partying with women in a group. Check your success. Storytime: Yesterday, I went to a night club with my girlfriend and her hot friends and I finally got the insights I shared. A fucking hot girl literally broke the circle where we were dancing just to come show her ass and implicitly call me to dance with her, wild stuff. Having such validation, complicity and comfort with other women plus the fact of not needing more pussy as I was already served, made such a bombastic magnet for hot girls to feel attracted to me. If I were single right it would be a no brainer, I would build rapport with my already sexy women friends and make it a habit to go out and have fun. In short, make meaningful relationships with women and invite them to go out to the club in a group (with preferably more women than men).

@UnbornTao Don't be so harsh either. It's not the way for the revelation of Truth in this case.

That is an assumption then. You are assuming limits regarding something you claim you don't know. You are speculating again, you are guessing. This is not how one realizes God. One needs to become insanely conscious, no guessing is necessary, just a lot of consciousness and a bit of luck or grace.

@Lila9 Your understanding is speculative. If you are honest with yourself you may discover that you don't even know what God is, what that word actually means and what it entails for it to be used.

The multifarious kinds of beasts, birds, men - what are they all? What are these varieties of shapes and modes of being, what is the essence within them? What really are these everchanging forms? Gradually, slowly, because you are rapt in the contemplation of your Beloved, of your very own Consciousness and Self God becomes revealed to you in every one of them; not even a grain of sand is excluded. You realise that water, earth, plants, animals, birds, human beings are nothing but the forms of God, truly my very own. Some experience it in this manner; though realisation does not come to everyone in the same way. There are infinite possibilities to become infinitely conscious and infinite ways in which infinity can manifest and, consequently, which for any particular person is the specific path along which the Universal, will reveal itself in its Infinity, remains concealed from most individuals. In Truth, God is everywhere, God pervades everything, God is an infinite explosion of all that could be, which includes and is precisely this very moment. - Ma Anandamayi.
