I have a friend who has adhd and trains his mind 1-2 hours a day to keep focus on his goals. He uses this energy and puts it into his business and it involves a lot of connecting with other people, marketing, planning and practical things. His mental training involves training to focus his attention via meditation and programming his mind via affirmations and visualisation. He avoids social media and youtube. He has found his niche which fits his diagnosis and character best and it seems to weaken the the main symptoms of his condition overall. this is specific to his case. This doesn't mean you shouldn't try medication but maybe there are some avenues left unexplored so you can use aspects of your disorder to work for you as well.

In higher states of consciousness you can clearly see that there is no you and nothing and at the same time you see form (thoughts, sight, taste etc occuring in nothing and know it. There is no loop by being all of it. @Leo Gura would you explain the jist of it this way as well or am I missing something?

@Leo GuraYour latest post about the grift of Clavicular reminds me of a new age friend with whom I'm working with. He is in the upper 10 percent of looks, a very skilled leader and speaker, also my team leader, leads a new age project with 1.4k followers, 2/3 of them are women, is extremely extroverted, has adhs and we meet on events on weekends maybe 20-30 girls (men not counted) personally. He thinks his success in business and with women comes only from following LoA and the hermetic principles and crystall shrined. He also promotes them this way. Other people around are so foolish and believe that and wonder why they still such with women and are not capable of understanding the truth of it cause of their new age believes. I see that he has parts in him which can bring him like other successfull people the success he wants but also he is so deluded in this area and I think that this actually helps him that everything might work out. I find it so interesting how the mind works and how it plays out in real life. If you are interested I can elaborate certain points

@Leo GuraI'm practicing tibetan buddhism, especially tantra meditations. I recently found out that the most advanced techniques use the same energy channels as in kriya yoga. One particuliar is has a lot in common with Lahiri's spinal breathing from the energy channels over the breath to the visualization. I find that very interesting.

I will check it out. Thank you!

I'm have been doing some of those. I've been disciplining myself and changing thinking patterns and doing spiritual work. I've set loose goals but after reflection I think the were too loose. I will define them narrower and be more specific. Hehe, I came up with a similiar list when I contemplated the subject. I think I will focus on each principle for a certain amount of time like a month in turn so that I'm not all over and can work through other points as well. Thank you for the inspiration. I have Arnold Schwarzenegger's book "be useful" on my shelf. He talks a lot about how he handled challenges he encountered in his live. I read about a third of it. I will put it on my list. I'm also very active in dating. It's a steep learning curve and I've inproved a lot since last year.

Hey guys, I need your help. I've grown up without an adequate father role model and I'm looking to change that and integrate this part of my psyche. I'm looking for good sources of healthy masculinity to integrate. This can be youtube channels and videos which treat the subject connecting to your masculine side, healthy role models and books and articles. Exersizes and practices are also welcome but please keep the focus on the subject and don't let this thread be side tracked by distracting debates. I think it would be very helpful to others as well who have similiar challenges. Thx in advance

@Leo Guralas sry, can't delete you here @darkspring001I would be very careful. I know of a case of a schizophrenic person who started believing he wife was cheating on him and couldn't dissuaded by any means and eventual he died in a shoot out with the police because he went berserk.

Here is a clip with Maersheimer's analysis on Iran from the full video which was released 3 days ago. This gives you a good overview about what the US and Israel are trying to do. Edit: I've found this interview from Jeffrey Sachs. I haven't been through it now but it seems to give a good perspective on how we got here from last years events and what's about to happen.

Thx, got a date in some time

Last thursday during a talk at the freemeasons I met a girl I find cute. During the conversation a friend who drove me home stepped in and asked if we want to exchange numbers and we agreed. After this I didn't feel in the right mind to answer and then I was 3 days very busy and forgot about it. Today I want to write her a message. What do you think about this one? "Hey, I'm .... the circus padagogue from last time at the freemeasons. I find you quite interesting. Do you want to grab a coffee these days?" This circus padagogue thing was very funny at the event because when we introduced ourselves we had two of us in this small round and it became a running gag during the evening. Is this short text enough or short I first start a conversation? If so how can I do so without friendzoning me?

I haven't got time to check them out but after you took the effort for this long reply I want at least make a short reply and tell you that you changed my mind. Your reasoning seems sound to me.

I'd be looking for better sources than these channels. Why this general was purged and what happened exactly is unknown and those channels spread speculation and tell you it's facts. I'd check at least what the mainstream media have to offer to cross reference the news. No offense, but I've already seen this unreliable news sourcing when you posted years ago about ukraine.

I know psychedelics do not raise your base state but the awakenings and insights from it are often superior to normal retreats. That everything is love is a rather low hanging fruits on psychedelics. Ralston has changed his mind on the differentiation between nothingsness and form and it's absoluteness after his recent awakening last year or the year before, so he can be wrong.

@Leo GuraDo you mean extracted?
