Don't ask the question too often, maybe once every 5 minutes. The only thing you have to do is to concentrate very hard or to be totally decontracted while looking around or on a specific object. It is quite obvious when you see/feel it, but it's also very subtle (don't expect something amazing).

What I mean by this picture is that there is no other than life itself, whatever teacher there is, it's not an individual, it's a part of our collective consciousness as human beings and as me/you/us/infinity/god at large. Now maybe you already understand that, but for those who don't, this is critical. It is critical because idolatring a certain persona, as an external source of knowledge is separating you from yourself/the one/the absolute. It is not an another being teaching you, it is yourself teaching you, there is no praise to give or to be proud of anything. Praising someone or to be proud of yourself is still an ego mechanism to center you into this body/mind of yours, because it still implies there is "others". I'm not saying you should not thank someone (or be grateful of someone) who helped you or teached you something, I'm just saying than thinking he's a better person or that he really gots it, is an illusion created by your mind.

Just listen to ambient/space ambient and melodic progressive house, it's soothing, and without any kind of lyrics whatsoever. Lyrics are almost all the time about an ego being hurt and/or being confused about life, whatever the kind of music you listen (yes even metal and other hipster music).

I Plz Leo, not on public, you're making me blush ...

It will be interpreted as negative from the brain, just as a "negative" emotion and physical pain are seen as indesirable (=suffering). If you know that, it's easier to get lost in it, but a tremoundous amount of fear and mental pain will be there. What Socrates means, is that if you admit to yourself that you truly don't know (like fore real real), ultimately the answer will come as an insight from the source (nothingess/infinity). You think Eckhart Tolle know what will come from his mouth ? No he doesn't, he says so himself, he knows nothing personally, almost everything comes from the source when he speaks.

Loving your rapist after he killed your child and tortured your soulmate. If you can love this person, then it's unconditional love.

Let go of every person that tells you how to live, even when you clearly tells them that you will do what the fuck you want. Easy solution, hard to pull of though.

Also, you may be thirsty for it now, but you're never gonna get it if you don't understand that's a longlife commitment. Doing this in a few months is near impossible (you literally need to be a godlike genius), in a year (very unlikely), in 5 years (unlikely), in a decade (maybe), in several decades (average for most people). If you cut all the religion and spiritual dogmas, and you don't believe anything but still leave the concepts somewhere in your mind, AND do a lot of meditation, self-inquiry, be mindful all the time and be in nature a lot, then maybe you'll do it in less than 5 years. I'm not saying this to discourage you, but you need proper expectation, otherwise you'll be frustrated pretty quickly

No, true growth is from the inside, you don't need anything than hard situations to deal with and doing the conscious (and hard) choice about it. You don't need 50 self help or spiritual books to do that. Most of the stuff you can learn by yourself really, that's just an excuse. It's not like you'll live all your life with little to no money, it's just a phase, you will buy all the good shit later, now what matters is your freedom and becoming a man.

"So much girls at once ? That's flattering, but I'm not that good. Just wait, I'm calling my bdsm gang, I hope you're ok with it, there is a chinese with us ?" Something like this would do the trick

My hallucinations are more real than yours !

I already see you every moment I delve into myself. Why would I need to pay for that, what about my coke and bitches, are you crazy ?!

You don't even know if Martin Ball exist, just thoughts about it. Same for Leo. So right now you're arguing against an idea because you have an another idea that seems more plausible to you. Interesting.

That depend what you mean by emotional mastery. If you think at some point you'll be able to choose to feel an emotion or not, that's not possible. If you think at some point you'll be able to feel the emotion fully, not act on what it wants you to, and let it fade away quickly, then that's what you'll get.

@Ilya Sit on front of a wall. Let your eyes open. Focus on your breath (be uninterested of your mind activities). (You do that at least 20 minutes a day, more like 1 to 2 hours after a year) Wherever you go focus on what you see instead of your mind (don't label things, just look). (You do this untill it becomes a second nature). Rinse and repeat. ...

You think ? Because since I found mine, everything else became relatively important, and I mean everything. It's not about your inner game, your inner game is like a child dream, it's so shallow that even if you get every pussies you dreamed off, it won't satisfy you. You'll much better served to focus on your life purpose, you'll naturally become magnetic to women given enough time, because to be the kind of men you need to be to realize this purpose, is exactly what women are attracted to (confident, edgy, detached ...). If you got a big dream, then you can't pussy around, you got to become a real man, and that's not at all what a real man is seen these days, "real men" these days are pussies in a muscle suit, with a big mouth and lots of cash, but that's not being a man, that's being an achievement whore. So it's a win-win scenario, except that the need for pussies and affection for women will drop to 0, which doesn't mean you can't enjoy that if you want, it's just that you'll know they are just distractions and they will never satisfy you for more than a few months/years.

Because we need a reason ?

When you realize you got to stop trying to try, and stop trying to trying to try, and stop trying to trying to trying to try, while still trying: When life feels magical again:

When you'll look retrospectively at how social pleasing was stupid:

Check with a doctor, but it doesn't really matter if your back is straight or not, you can even meditate lay down on your bed. Having your back straight is important IF you're tired though.

Just meditate untill you can only be aware of awareness itself, it becomes obvious very quickly if you do it for quite some time.
