Yea, i know exactly what you mean. I am also not even considering any girls under 8-10 out of 10. But I have to disappoint you I actually look good and it doesen't really do much for the 8-10 because I am just 1.71 m / 5'6" although i have gotten compliments even from girls who are like a 10 but it goes more in the direction you are cute and not you are handsome even though i have respectable muscles, many only go for really tall guys.

You can always meditate no matter what you are doing or not doing.

I feel like the area im making the least progress in is self love. So i want to ask you all what are your ways to practise self love?

I think my problem is not that I am rejecting myself, because i don't really have a problem with other people. It's just beautiful girls I have such problems with, probably I project too much onto them. What i also just noticed is, she wrote to me that she doesn't have time to write with me because her best friend(female) is there. And all that crazy monkey mind is gone from that point on. It seems like it's the uncertainty why she doesen't write back for so long that makes me go so crazy, also this seems to be just one way when she wrote to me I can write back even at the next day without really having this problem. Edit: Problem solved atleast by proxy, just doing the Do Nothing meditation and letting out the monkey mind without engaging in it solved that issue.

I recently wrote again to a girl from my past with the mindset of just giving. The thing about her is that she is very rejecting in a way that just makes me more attracted. My mind is totally going crazy about her all the time, I am just desperately waiting for her to write back 1 sentence while i write back whole texts, although I managed to resolve all the pain which I felt about this situation for good, but still my mind is in a totally disturbed state I can't start doing anything and without meditating for multiple hours a day i would probably go mad or something. But the problem is the more rejecting she is the more I am attracted, sure I can just completely stop to communicate with her but i actually want to grow and finally resolve this issue in myself, I always thought it was my emotions driving me to be like that but now I see that they aren't because even without any pain caused at all my mind goes crazy.

That is exactly what I was asking for in this thread, how to not let my mind disturb me at all even though it is going crazy. Sure i can go meditate and i can focus on my breath or anything else at any given time but if i want to interact with girls and people for that matter I will have to think from time to time, also when sleeping I can't really meditate and i feel at the next day how this situation is giving me a headache after waking up for all of the day. A cave meditator doesn't have to care about such things, I know that but I actually want to function in society and not be the next Eckhart Tolle.

Yes i can be in such a state, I know that my mind is projecting but it doesn't change the outcome. Well how exactly am i supposed to get fulfilled as a man?

I thought the same thing recently but I don't see this working for me anymore. It was for a time and i decided to write to a girl from my past recently with a mindset of just loving and giving. But i still can't really deal with it, i resolved the emotional pain i had everytime she rejects me with an answer, but the main issue is that I am more attracted to her in an egoic way when she acts like this and I find myself just waiting for her 1 sentence answer and writing whole texts back and it makes her just more attractive the less she writes back. Only if i really focus on my breath or something else for a meditation im not totally caught up in thinking about her.

@egoless My answer actually included this, read again. @Nahm Im coming from Intuition.

Consciousness is projected into the body, when the body dies and the ego with it the projection gets cut. Now the projection of consciouness starts in another body but the source of it is always the same, so it is not exactly a reincarnation atleast if you look at the deepest level of truth, you can go to more fragmented dimensions and there you might find some other form of identity or attributes from which the new ego emerges as the old one that died already.

I think you are correct. Many people don't realize how much work and commitment this needs. I started losing motivation to really commit to enlightenment a long time ago because the main force that was driving me was suffering. There is no suffering anymore in my life there is just pain occaisonally which is a part of life, even of an enlightened one. This doesen't mean that i don't practise anything on the contrary I do it merely for the sake of growth, health and maybe egoic happiness but I don't care much about enlightenment anymore.

Right and wrong only exists because your ego exists. The ego distorts reality because it is limited while reality is not, atleast not in a way we could ever understand, because we don't even understand true inifnity with our mind without any concept, which again is limited. Only without the ego trough clear consciousness you see reality as it is. So essentially there is actually right or wrong as a construct of the ego which also is a construct itself. Now the question that remains is, is the construct real? A Human that is made of atoms is a human or does he remain atoms? The answer is always a matter of perspective are you looking from the deepest truth, the root of everything or are you looking from the world of labels and concepts?

Where did you get the notion that if you express an opinion you are stuck with it in any way? I speak out my opinions openly all the time and change them if i have new insights. Also don't forget true or false are both the same thing on the deepest level as is death and life the boundries cease to exist at one point. Also on another level true or false is a subjective question, a question of perspective, if you think a human could ever hold real universal truth you are probably wrong. Because universal truth can not be expressed by anything that is less than absolute infinity, so the only assumption to make is that everything is true and false at the same time.

There is no you to percieve anything when you are dead obviously the ego is bound to the body. Consciousness is not ego thats all spirituality is about to finally be able to aknowledge the truth behind it all, consciousness. If your ego dies you will percieve whole different worlds like people do on psychedelics for example.

It is the hardest state to achieve because your ego holds you back from it. Your ego is there for a reason you are supposed to be in the illusion that you have limits instead of being this absolute infinity being. So you are basically working against the illusion "you" made yourself as absolute infinity which in the end is possible because you are obviously all-powerful beneath this illusion you just have to realize it whereas the limits of ego still apply if you don't put in the work. I never prefered parting, drinking etc. over meditation honestly, i had other interests to begin with but those frequently change somewhat. I don't really see meditation as something to do anymore though, so i can't compare it to any activity anymore. It has the quality of awarness and not doing thats why its not comparable, for example i can still do all those activities while meditating.

It's an incongruence between your brain halves. One half of your brain recieves the information and for the other it is delayed by a very small amount of time which leads to this wierd notion that you have been trough this already when they are synchronized again. This would be the scientific explanation. A cool explanation would be that you shift your reality to a parallel universe or something like that, well maybe both are right and this is what is actually causing the delay.

It's a good thing to want nothing. To want is to be trapped. I also have this for some time now, instead of wanting anything i just let life happen to me and see what society makes me to be although I still have a mask I put on occaisonally for the convinience sake in society. I mean would be wierd if people ask you why are you even here in this school, at this job and you don't have any goals to tell someone. Yet there are things that interest me but this doesn't mean i want to achieve anything in them. You already have everything inside, this becomes experiential or apparent at some point, thats why you don't want anything. This is atleast the case if you don't feel really depressed then it might be the other way around that you are very far from your true being. So now is time to use this playground of life to have some fun in the perspective of this being.

Meditation improves your quality of life all the time. Enlightenment has nothing to do with it. You can live a life full of ego, do your meditations and be alright of course if you don't surrender the ego you won't get enlightened but the benefits of doing meditation itself are overwhelming enough already even science proves this already and there are surely benefits beyond just science.

Yes it is conscious as much as their creator is conscious. As the body of the people who made it is a vessel for their consciousness, so is this Robot merely an extension of this peoples body with the difference that it is seperated physically which is an illusion, technically speaking even our own body is still seperated physically into many parts but the space inbetween isn't as apperent. As all of us are just one being seperated into so many extensions again just an illusion. There is one consciousness inevitably this thing has to be a part of it as is every rock and tree and star. To answer this question on a simpler level, no this thing is not conscious it is just a conglomerate of its creators thoughts compiled into programm code and translated into language and possibly completed by some algorythms. Im very interested in the question if the human kind will be able to enable robots to somehow connect to the stream of counsciouness from a man made vessel, I even want to make this my job sometime in the future. At the moment i think the answer is by using organic material it might be possible but i highly doubt that this will be in my life time.

I don't see why those ghosts should be any more less egoic than humans? They probably have their own dimension or something similar and are not that different from us. On the other hand it could be some kind of demonic entities which were created by the devil himself the ego which would make sense.

Many self actualizers think they have to drop everything to become free. One day you will realize that you don't have to drop anything, you don't have to change anything that is physical in order to become free because physicality is incredibly limited, at the current stage of mankind atleast. You will realize that you have always been free no matter what you did and what happened around you! Thank you, have a nice moment.

First of all 20 minutes a day may not be enough at some point anymore. This video explains it perfectly i also had this a few times it got shorter in the time spans though.

Im sure there are many alternatives but probably nothing thats as convenient as chicken breast. Chia seeds are one of the super foods and also contain a fair amount of protein, hemp seeds also have some protein.. Well and of course different kinds of cheese and milk although don't know if the fat is again too much for you. I would also agree that fat is not bad as people make it because there are 2 categories saturated and unsatured. Unsaturated fat is actually healthy as opposed to saturated fat. As long as you are not a professional bodybuilder which would be kind of wierd in this forum you should not worry about it that much.

I suggest to drink water with fresh lemon juice in it, this is supposed to get rid of the fluoride. There is special fluoride free toothpaste, honestly I am not going to say if it is really neccessary to use toothpaste i can only tell you that i have been using it maybe for about 3 months in total in my whole life and im 22 now and my teeth are still healthy. This might be genetic i don't know I just thought to myself that this can't be healthy to wash my teeth when i was bleeding all around my roots for weeks and weeks and there are other ways to get a fresh breath also. There is a ton of protein sources other than meat im vegetarian for over a year now and im building muscels very well. Try nuts.

That really depends. Are you addicted in such a fashion that you are missing out on things in life, then yes it is bad for you. For me it was a conscious decision to continue Porn also it is not really compulsive for me, im trying to be very mindfull while doing it. My main reason is that I don't want to have a girlfriend in the current structure of society where I live, I am also a very introverted person most of the time it would be very exhausting for me having to put in much of my time into a relationship, I simply love to be alone. Another reason why in my case i think it is okay is because even with doing Porn 2-3 times a day I ejaculate in even under a minute when i do it faster without needing to do the famous dead grip or anything that people in the nofap community have problems with. I am still often getting erections just by very light body contact to a women with watching that much porn so without doing Porn it will get very extreme for me. I wish to last even a bit longer during sex honestly but I want to keep it moderate though too much porn would also waste a whole lot of time.
