I'll do this.

This is precious time and I want to focus on a tree. A spiritual tree. Beautiful!!!!! Priceless!!!!

It does create a massive influence whereby a lot of people turn to spirituality like an influx. Sadhguru has single handedly achieved this which is a feat.

I think one of my roadblocks in spirituality was that I would lose interest in material living if I turned rigorously towards spirituality. It's something I contemplated on and it still haunts me. Survival and spirituality unfortunately do not mix very well. There are opportunity costs.

This is not that extreme. You're comparing apples to oranges or should I say grenades.

Well.. The truth is a bit harsh. If you ask ladies on the street what kind of a man they will eventually pick if they can get a chance, they will all pick the hottest, tallest, smartest, richest guy out of the crowd even if they don't have much value to provide themselves. Women date up, men date down. This is a well known fact. Women have their eyes set on the prize if they let their inner feminine be completely free. Women usually settle for a low value man when they can't get their hands on a high value guy and when they are lazy or they have low self esteem so they settle for something less as a matter of subconscious compromise. Yet if given all the feminine joy and freedom in the world, a woman will find herself happier with a richer smarter high character high value man. This is female psychology and female nature. In fact often women regret dating low value men and having wasted their precious time over them. A woman who is highly conscious of her own value wants to screen a guy for value in a man. Theres nothing manipulative about this, she wants to eventually ensure she has the best Dad for her potential children and a great caregiver husband. Women are wired to select a good mate unless she is steeped in unhealthy patterns. I think you got my point.

But women intuitively and inherently screen for value. That's what they do even without realizing. A woman in a club will not sleep with every Tom, Dick, Harry, Jerry. She wants that emotional stimulation. She wants to feel safe with a man. She doesn't want her value snatched from her by a low value man. She wants to be with a man she is genuinely attracted to but this attraction process no matter how organic itself involves her unconscious screening.

Healthy or unhealthy, happens all the time. Welcome to humanity

High quality women for a (high quality) man can be more than just a hot chick.

I think one of my roadblocks in spirituality was that I would lose interest in material living if I turned rigorously towards spirituality. It's something I contemplated on and it still haunts me. Survival and spirituality unfortunately do not mix very well. There are opportunity costs.

Yes.. This is one of the privileges of a forum. You get contradictory opinions and you get to enjoy other helpful perspectives. Whereas with AI, there's way too much room for confirmation bias. (Heart emoji)

Men also ensure that they get a high quality woman, so it's fair play in a way.

Low value men get laid all the time because they make themselves easily accessible. Low value men constantly promote themselves to a large chunk of women, so mathematically their opportunity to get laid increases. It's like fast mass advertisement/promotion and it works. High value men reserve their value and don't sell themselves that often and carefully choose who they want to sleep with, so their opportunities are scarce. It's fair game to them in proportion to their standards. Higher standards, lower opportunities. Sometimes they have to lower their standards to get more women. Facts.

There's not a single place where Guru culture doesn't exist. Even Youtubers have followers. It's not necessarily a cult per se if the community of followers is a healthy place.

He is not, trust me. This thing is just blown out of proportion. Sadhguru cannot control what others are doing. Sadhguru is quite high conscious and decent. It's sad that such stuff happens in spiritual circles and people lose trust. I hope it all works out in the end.

Spiritual principles.

Spiritual renaissance has existed.

@Carl-Richard Are you trying to imply that Turquoise didn't exist in the 1960s? I think Turquoise always existed through time and it should have nothing to do with the scale of development of society at any given time of reference.

You shouldn't change your guru so quickly. Does this mean that you won't be making posts on Sadhguru anymore? I used to appreciate those posts. What happened?

Communication is very important to women. It's how you communicate what you like about her. She is going to judge that strongly. She doesn't want to know at the back of her mind that you are using similar tactics with other women, she will look for exclusivity.

We do it intuitively and organically. Also our emotions are wired into all this, hence we often make mistakes and fall for the wrong men, which wouldn't make sense in an evolutionary paradigm, we aren't genetic screening machines but one thing that we strongly sense in men is the presence (or lack) of authenticity and that is a major factor in initial screening of any guy. This is definitely a feature, not a bug. Our notions of low and high value men aren't as cut and dry as men would like to perceive them.

Sometimes women are confused about what they want in a man, so they can give mixed signals. It's not necessarily an indication that the man is weak. You make it sound very robotic, we don't screen so much based on strong or weak as much as on respect and behavior. And we're moody creatures, sometimes we're just not into it. We aren't hyper logical as you.

Sad.

Have your priorities right.
