Spiritual Warrior

Starting at 26:35, the host asks Gordon an interesting question, "do you ever meditate on the idea of death?" Gordon says that hes too busy and that the host has too much time on his hands to be thinking about such things Welcome to planet Earth, where we distract ourselves from life's most profound questions

@nistake right, "Burn through the karma" as Leo puts it 🍻🕺👩‍❤️‍👨🏘️💍👨‍🍼

Agreed, but that is in essence what spirituality is... The moving away from merely survival and into another realm.. a realm in which Absolute Truth can be seen by mortal eyes

I like to allow the substance to take me on it's own ride. Let go and see where it leads you. That's more my style. But if you really want to contemplate a specific topic, then go into it with that intention. Shrooms always finds a way to make me cry, whether it be from laughing or having an emotional meltdown. Embrace it all.

That was actually really sweet

You're right.. a human with an inflated ego couldn't be open enough to the idea of death

You're right, most people don't. I just think that society distracts us from these deeper questions. I am trying to exit this group think mentality and think about these things for myself. Of course everyone is free to do what they want with their lives, distract yourself with everything you can get your hands on, I know I do. But I'm trying to transition away from this and I think some of the beautiful people in this forum will resonate with this.

I find marriage beautiful, it's a symbolic merging of two souls that want to be near each other Till death do you part

Congratulations, you've achieved snail consciousness 😏

We are lacking the kindness and caringness of the feminine It would keep us more in check I only feel the presence of @Princess Arabia

Women are attracted to men that know their worth and love themselves. Your friend thinks he's the man and I'm assuming you do not think that you are the man. The frame in this situation needs to be "I'm doing this cool think for me, not for the girls." You can come along if you want, but I don't care either way. You cared about what the women thought of you, he did not. Getting good with women requires investment over a long period of time you're not going to get good by listening to one positive affirmation video. Situations like this are painful, I empathize and have been there. Take this one on the chin and continue swinging. The truth is that you will need to endure 1000s of more difficult encounters with women like the one you described. But you're doing great by putting yourself out there, keep doing that. You will get there.

Personally, I'm 28 I'd guess most people here are between the ages of 20-35

Working hard is required in order to build yourself up into a space where you are able to surrender, or at least this is what I've found in my life. Everything is leading to surrender. Surrendering is the ultimate goal Death is surrender Death is truth

Haha nice, I'll go to one of those some day. Best of luck

I relate to what you are saying. I was very weary about telling my friends that I meditate back in the day, but eventually I just did it. I think that you will find your way of being more open when you are ready. You have a good head on your shoulders, just continue doing your personal development work for you. If you're not ready to share it with the world, then that's okay. My next obstacle is to start talking about enlightenment and God with my peers, this scares me because I'm afraid that they'll think I'm crazy. Let go, don't think too much about this topic, things will fall into place.

Amen

Yes, I agree. And I will work on that. I'd rather provide something constructive.

I haven't read The Sedona Method yet, that's my next read

I've been putting myself out there more and it has elicited unwanted criticism. How does someone deal with this and not let criticism shape his self image?

@Hardkill what do you want for your life in terms of dating & relationships. Do you want to become the best husband that you can possibly be, are you trying to just have fun and hit a certain number of girls, are you looking to attain certain skills that you can only attain from approaching a lot of women? What is it that you really want out of all of this? I'm genuinely curious

Yes it is I'm sorry @Raze

Why don't you use your words?

OP is talking about doing this in a nightclub, where it is socially acceptable to touch a girl in a sexual way. He's not walking up to women on the street and doing this. Of course, even in a nightclub, always try to be respectful to women and only touch them if they give you a signal that it is okay.

It could be you
