That is the first time I’ve ever seen wisdom spelled that way. Very clever!

@Thought Art a synergy of both, like a healthy relationship, is ideal

Be careful with stereotyping relationships. Relationships can certainly teach you a lot about yourself, especially when you stop having a rigid idea of what a relationship even is.

Dating is a journey, not a destination.

Remember, there is a difference between following a teacher who is speaking to a broad audience, vs having a teacher guide you one-on-one. In either case, the end goal should be to not depend on the teacher to tell you what to do. You are your greatest teacher. Derive the solutions for yourself through massive experience, trial-and-error, and yes, many failures.

There’s no you to begin with; no you to disappear. Only you exist for eternity, so how could you ever disappear? Both points will be contended for eons in the human domain. Hence, you must come to the direct realization yourself.

It is tricky when you deny yourself God. The paradox is that there is no difference between you and God, despite infinite differences.

You can get to a point where your love surpasses any kind of porn you can find on the internet. No amount of porn can equate to this love I speak of. Why? Because it’s Alien Love.

Handling rejection gracefully is a sign of maturity. Women love testing you implicitly; you being selfish is what pushes her away.

Immaturity is when you stop trusting your intuition. There are different degrees in which you can be in touch with your intuition.

The reason why you keep failing is because you are expecting something out of a relationship. You need to realize that your partner is fundamentally a reflection of you. They’re not someone you own or control.

Ah, yes. The classic 10-day Vipassana retreat.

Just like with managing finances and a business, there are healthy and unhealthy ways to express sexuality. Also, what is considered “healthy” and “unhealthy” is dependent on the structures you are identified with. For example, being LGBT is seen as evil in the lens of hardcore Catholics, but that is not the case from a modern, scientific lens.

For me, my “addiction” to porn and masturbation actually stems from repressing my sexuality for over a decade. I’ve had to leave religion and family structures (stuff forced upon me) to finally be more authentic with myself. Being inauthentic with yourself can surely lead you down unhealthy paths.

YouTube algorithms tho, amirite?

Pagpag. Imagine eating food that was literally cooked from garbage. That’s how it’s like living in the slums of the Phillipines.

This reminds me of self-help gurus who flex their expensive cars as if it’s actually theirs. From what I’ve gathered, a good chunk of them actually rent those cars; not own them.

The best news sources are the ones that are nuanced, don’t purposefully push on your emotions to keep your attention, and aren’t interested in destroying another party.

Stop expecting only good things to happen in your relationships. That will not grow you. That’s like going into a psychedelic trip with the intention of only good things to happen. Be open to allowing shit to hit the fan, there is a lot you can learn from difficult experiences. Not if you learn how to set appropriate boundaries.

It is wise to still have certain fears and boundaries. Being completely fearless and balls to the wall is not ideal if you want to maintain your sanity in the long-term.

Water can also be unhealthy. It all depends on how you use it.

Also, no need to be hard on yourself. Learning to interact with women is no easy task. Be kind to yourself when you make mistakes. And don’t forget, women can also make mistakes. It’s not about finding a relationship that is flawless, it’s about creating ones that are able to adapt to change and growth, despite the flaws.

It’s just like building relationships… without setting intentional boundaries, shit can go south very fast.

Every other is also God.

The greatest meaning can be found when you respond to life not because of what someone else instilled in you, but because you’re responding under your own will. I’m not speaking of free will. It’s not merely as if I’m an individual who has independent freedom to make my own choices, but also, I am creating all of this, from scratch, as God.
