Davino

It was the first book that opened my mind to the whole sexuality & masculine/feminine psychology. It lead me to reading many other books, watching dozens of videos about this content and getting huge experience with women and in my relationship. I recommended this book to a friend going through a very tough break up and changed his life forever. He read it twice, firt in english and then in spanish. So I really consider this book from David Deida quite top for young adults. What book would you recommend? Let's keep it to books, what book is out there which really teaches manhood?

@Caoimhin You handled it like a champ and reflected deeply about it. Congrats, you turned a bad situation into an opportunity

Depends on when you read it. For young adults it's particularly impactful. If you are already a grown ass man, it's not something life hasn't already given you hints about.

@Javfly33 That's a more nuanced comment. It's true that the addiction identity presents the limitations you are pointing. It also presents the benefits that I was pointings.

@Will1125 is this an awakening doubt you had while breaking through into Infinity while consciousness become massively spacious interconnected and perfectly self-contained, or it's something you came up in your couch? If it's the former I'll give you detailed answers to navigate it and awaken even further. If it's the latter, I won't even bother. Have you ever experienced Infinity brother? A true God Realization beyond doubt? Then what are you doing? Step by step, when you get there we will work through it.

@Something Funny Thanks for answering the quick question. The rest still applies and asks you to focus on relationships skills while seeing the importance of pick-up but the necessity of postponing it for now.

@Javfly33 @Princess Arabia I'm curious to know how much reading and experience you have in the field of drug addiction. Or you are just guessing? There's very very serious research in all these fields. Do you really think nobody has already raised those questions fifty years ago? Lmao If so, try to design a rehab center with your cute ideas and let's compare them with the already existing methods.

The biggest problem with alcoholics is that they deny having a problem with alcohol. I only drink casually they say. Therefore, admitting to themselves they are alcoholics allows them to recognise they have an addiction problem that needs deliberate action to be solved. Furthermore, it prevents future relapsing as they are aware oh it's not a temporary thing, I cannot drink again as I'm an alcoholic (it has been proven that ex-alcoholics very rarely find a healthy use after their condition but end up relapsing into heavy use and eventual death). So there you have it, hundreds of psychologists and clinical studies just casually dismissed by your comment. You really underestimate the depth of everything.

I recommend it also

Never heard about it, hold the irony Be more clear in your next posts to avoid misinterpretations What do you say? Have you ever experienced the "sound of silence" ? I've been researching and found nothing on the topic

Very well said

There are almost no documented cases of Tier 3. There's only one being that is supposed to have been in solid Tier 3 and just his life story shows how remarkable this achievement really is. The ammount of factors that came together to make it possible is almost a miracle. Shivapuri Baba was born in 1826 AD in Kerala, South India. He lost his parents at the age of 9, so his grandfather Achyutam who was a well known scholar in the court of Tipu Sultan and a reputed jeweler with considerable wealth, looked after him. The family was very learned as well; Sanskrit was their family language. When his Grandfather retired and wanted to spend the rest of his life in a forest doing Spiritual Sadhana, Shivapuri Baba accompanied him. He stayed with him till his death. Thereafter, he entered deep into the Narmada Forest, surviving alone, with one goal in mind: The Quest for God. After nearly 25 years of severe solitary dedication, God Realization happened, the final destination wich, Shivapuri Baba said, every human being must reach. Then, he set out to travel, as wished by his Grandfather with all his inherited wealth, for the great journey: The round of the world, (80% on foot), and fortified his knowledge about this world. This, I imagine, enabled him to synthesize wordly knowledge with Spiritual achievement. Probably, this helped him to explain about Right Life to any sort of seekers belonging to different religions or atheists who could understand his Teaching very well. Completing his world tour, Baba eventually arrived in Nepal in 1926 at the ripe old age of one hundred. After a short stay in Varanasi, he left for his hometown, Kerala, to inquire about his twin sister, the only surviving member of his family. After seventy years, the yogi had returned to his own home as a wandering sannyasin, to find that his sister had died a long time ago. Then he finalized a few family affairs, and retired to the Shivapuri forests of Nepal. He lived on the Shivapuri hill for thirty-seven years. The saint became synonymous with the Shivapuri hill, earning him the name of Shivapuri Baba. Shivapuri Baba left his body on January 28, 1963. His final message was: “Live Right Life, Worship God. That is all. Nothing more.” He took a drink of water then said “Gaya” (I’m gone), laid down on his right side and passed away. The sole purpose of human life is to find the Ultimate Truth, or God, and to this end a certain code of life is required—a spiritual, mental, and physical order.

Silence or sound are properties of consciousness. Consciousness is what Reality is, not matter, pure Consciousness is what the experience of this moment actually is. This has to be recognised. Philosophy is something Consciousness can do. Becoming conscious is understanding, the more consciousness is infused into consciousness the more you cognise a figment of consciousness. How much can it be cognised? It can be ever more understood as all figments reflect the whole and the whole is but another figment. As you breakthrough you enter into Infinity dynamics.

@Something Funny Quick question: How do you plan to focus on pick-up while in a stable relationship? My advice would be to prioritize developing the skills necessary to sustain and nurture a romantic relationship through its ups and downs. These skills will prove invaluable in future relationships. Learning the mechanics of attraction is a prerequisite for finding love, but it’s just as important to learn how to handle the daily dynamics of being with a partner. Attraction and relationship skills are distinct phases, and right now, you should focus on the latter. If your current relationship ends, then you can revisit attraction skills and approach future relationships with greater confidence and experience.

Consider other countries don't have the luxury for self-criticism as inner disonance creates weakness which is exploited by other forces. Only when you have a solid system, a safe country and a prosperous economy that inner criticism is valued and very desirable indeed. Don't put the cart before the horse, you are having unrealistic expectations on neutrality and bias awareness. The process of developing nations is quite logical when you consider how the West underwent similar transitions not too long ago to reach its current state. It's easy to forget the West faced many of the same challenges on its path to plurality.

@Basman There's a reason why everything is the way it is. I was trying to serve as a mirror of our own culture. Many times I see critiques of less developed countries, but honest self assessment of your own culture and way of life is rarely seen. I think there is more value in self introspecting on the limitations of your own culture and attitudes than about other places you really know very little about. In the end, you should be doing both.

@Spiritual Warfare Let's flip the debate upside down. In which ways first worlds countries opress women? So instead of focusing in the obvious less developed countries, what about self reflecting about our own culture and its limitations regarding women? Moreover, in the ways we personally opress and misunderstand women, denying their emotions and a myriad of other activities.

@Pro24 I could push through it but is that the most self-loving step? idk, depends on the perspective

@Pro24 I'm in this dilemma right now. I've fallen sick out of nowhere and have work to do but I'm not feeling like it.

@Ulax Vipassana works good for purification. Contrast it with do nothing to get the expansive side at the end of each session. Complement it with kundalini/kriya yoga and it will speed up the whole process

In Awakening: each end is a new beginning Reality is a Strange Loop, this is one of the most mind-boggling realizations you can cognize

I'm a very innocent man. Donald Trump quote

I recently had a breakthrough in my understanding of procrastination. What is procrastination, and why does procrastination exist in the first place? (Transcript of my audio notes) So I've discovered that procrastination is a feedback mechanism. So before I used to cognize procrastination as a bad thing, You know, like the feeling that it gave me and the pain, all the suffering that it went with it. But now I've realized that it's the other way around, procrastination, the bad feeling that it gives: it's a blessing. Why? Because it is guiding me towards what I should be doing, towards my duty, towards my purpose. The fact that procrastination feels bad is a wonderful thing. Because if procrastination felt good, you would do nothing with your life. And you would stagnate, life would stagnate. But as life is a continuous cycle of evolution, consciousness and intelligence, it's ever seeking greater perfection. Procrastination is seen in this bigger context as a tool for the human psyche to discern what it should be doing. Because just by observing the fact that you're procrastinating (that you should be doing something and you're not doing it) feels bad. See? That sensation is like a betrayal to yourself. And in fact, the more that task accumulates in your duties and in your mind, the more you will feel bad about it. So it is in this context that procrastination is extremely, extremely useful. Because just by listening to that bad feeling and observing what happens when you break through and push through the initial resistance of doing that task, you actually feel wonderful. You actually feel realized. You actually feel meaningful. You feel powerful. You know? You feel powerful while the other way around, you feel bad and you feel weak. Isn't it so?
