I drink decaf Coffee for about a year and a half now for health benefits minus the caffeine. It takes about a month to get used to decaf but then you actually start craving it a lot funny enough. I still drink plain matcha which has caffeine but is waaay more stable energy than regular coffee. Matcha is another drink that takes about a month to get used to. I wish I could stop the caffeine entirely but the matcha is such a powerful anti oxidant source that I just must have it for my health and longevity goals. This thread has inspired me however to try at least one week no caffeine and see how it goes.

I shared this article with a family member. thanks for the share and shocking to see.

Welcome to my birth country. 🙏

The REAL actualizers. We've all gots a wayz to go to get to their standards. VID-20241116-WA0002.mp4

@enchanted Word. Some hard hitting truth right here.

I'm still waiting for a movie trilogy or tv show on the level of the original Lord of the Rings trilogy from the 2000s. The amount of love and passion that was put into those movies is unmatched by almost anything these days. The Rings of power tv show on the other hand was absolute rubbish And not worth anyone's time. I'd say maybe the Dune movies come to mind as something released recently but they are still a far second place.

@Natasha Tori Maru Ok I won't watch it. I had a bad feeling about it especially after watching that video on Jared's Cult, wasn't sure wether to fork out the cash and grab a ticket. Thanks for saving me the hassle. I didn't find it that amazing. Maybe that's just a me thing, I've seen other's on this forum praise it. Recently saw the movie "caught stealing" and thought it was a better storyline than this one.

Man I'm hyped for this! I too have been looking at prices for flights to USA and visa costs. Unfortunately I've already booked my vacations for 2026, oh well 2027 it'll have to be :D. I'll have to be a good boy or your leader Trump might not let me in jejeje. It's on, tripping balls in the nevada desert with Leo Gura!

Dem PFOS's being released as you cook up your colesterol fueled bacon n eggs...yum!

Thanks Natasha. Like you have in your blurb I'll have to deal with it on my own terms sooner or later or it will ruin my life. I probably weaponise truth and saying I'm afraid, to not take action. I guess it's a whole mix of different things. I'll end this discussion here now 🙈

Rejection, bad experiences, the commitment I'd have to make to another human being also feels daunting. My lack of experience and the fear of rejection. I know the solution is to just go out and face it, realize that much of it is self imposed narratives and frankly lies I tell myself but the fear stops me completly from taking action. Yes, true

Fear, and absolute unwillingness to face that fear. It may be the case that I'll only do the work when the pain becomes too great but I thought I'd crossed that threshold many times yet here I am. Even 5 meo Malt and Mushrooms haven't helped. *Note fear in the domains of relationships. Spending all the money I make is an emotional crutch and response to a lack of self love or self respect something like that I'm not sure. I am also probably addicted to the high I get from buying something. I will be dealing with my bad money habits in the coming months/year, can't say I'll do the same about the relationships. I think meditation it's just I haven't made it a priority and awakening via psychedelics I still hope to achieve in the near future.

They do help, but they aren't the full picture and are being used as an escape in my case. Anything can be used as an escape books, sex, drugs, entertainment etc. vVery smart people BS themselves saying they're studying or reading or whatever, in reality many of them are escaping self actualization work in whatever field of life they are lacking.

Yeah, your personality shines through on the forum as someone who is confident in herself and keeps it real. I guess when you face all your crap you drop the pretending. Thanks for the share. 👍

To me the real work is awakening, be it through psychedelics or meditation. Also I avoid real emotionally painful work, instead getting lost in books, documentaries etc. to avoid dealing with the harsh things in life. It's not like many areas of my life aren't in balance as I've systematically dealt with loads of my issues such as career, health, I run a small yt channel...but a few persist and those are the very difficult ones I choose to run away from. In my case it's relationships, a meditation practice and saving money instead of spending it.

THIS. Yes.

@theoneandnone sorry to hear that man, I believe traditional approaches such as meditation and kriya yoga will be your best chance if psychedelics are not an option.

I blackout my bedroom completly a few hours before sleep, no screens an hour before bed and I use red bedside lamp in my room and bathroom at night. I even had a gap under my bedroom door and I sealed that too to prevent light leakage! 😂

I'm getting lost in Leo's booklist avoiding the real work as per usual. 👍

Bro...

Air pollution, addictive algorithms designed to steal your attention, blue light emmiting screens on gadgets, processed food, manual work, covert operations by goverment spy agencies to destable other countries around the world, blind nationalism (america is the greatest country on earth! 😮‍💨), unhealthy forms of psychopathy and narcism in people in power such as Putin, Kim, Bolsonaro, Trump (emphasis on unhealthy as these personality types will remain and are needed but how they are permitted to operate in the future will change), current school systems devoid of a curriculum on how to grow healthy mature adults and focused solely on classes and grades, Donald Trump will be seen for the conman he is and lastly lack on knowledge and protection from harmful invisible wave frequencies that power our modern technological gadgets. *Also fossil fuel powered economy & use of plastic

Thanks for your post man. Chasing great wealth is not my life goal. I already make a good income in my current job that allows me to become a multi millionaire in 10-15 years through investing in the S&P if I make that my priority (spoiler I haven't made it my priority and I'm fighting to fix my financial emotional issues). I asked myself many times if the path of incredible financial success was something I wanted and no, I don't want that. Financial stability and security is my aim, after that is reached I want to focus on other areas of life. Even with a good salary I've never had enough, I spent it all for years. That is an emotional problem I'm now trying to deal with. No amount of money will ever be enough I realized because I ain't dealing with the emotional problem that's leading to all the spending. My solution isn't more money, it's healing and I need to confront my issues. I think it's very important to study and atrive for well paying jobs or be self employed with a good salary that allows you to survive comfortably. Some will need more, some will need less. But miney amplifies your good and bad sides. If you're emotionally broken you can use money to try and run away from that like I have and it's not the answer. I still get these jealousies of other super successful people but that's just because I haven't figured out my own unique life purpose yet and I compare myself to others. I want to reach the day I don't do that anymore. 🙏

I am so glad for you! What an achievement at such a young age. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was jealous. Congratulations friend. In my own life I'll invest into the s&p 500 and hope for the best. Unfortunately my job and career I'll never reach those levels of wealth and I'm trying to come to terms with that. It's very difficult battle internally for me because I studied in elite schools with kids who will most be future multi millionaires and who will run the world. I've been out of school for 8 years now but I still see their lives on social media and these kids were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, the best education, best colleges all because of money their parents had. I fight a battle of feeling worthless compared to my peers everyday. I hope someday I get above above these jealousies and just be content with my life and my path. 🙏
