@Shiva Where would you suggest I look when searching for girls that are into this sort of lifestyls too?

Yes solo tantra. This can not only be used for pleasure but also for enhancing self love, as a tool for mindfulness practice, and much more. It’s an awesome topic, you should really look into it.

@Leo Gura Wait Leo, have you been in the Netherlands? Awesome

@Adam M Watch this video. It should clear things up for you.

@Atic Ahh that feeling that something is missing. That you have not been provided that something that everyone seems to have. As a kid this was so weird for me. I feel ya dude, I really do.

@Adam M When are you getting lost in thoughts? You are always doing everything now. Think about it, have you ever done something at a time other than right now?

Ayyy tomorrow I’m back to day 15 let’s go

@DanielIssac RSD Max has a great way of motivating yourself. You simply say: “The moment I said Hi, I already won.” Even though I have never tried cold approaches or anything like that, I think this could be a great help.

Close your eyes and savor every little detail that is hearable. All sound is music. It is subjective to say something is music and something is not. Doesn’t matter if you listen to Slim Shady or classical piano, it all has that beautiful spark of creativity. Learn to pick that up when you listen. It will open up a world for you

@Blissout It’s not a wrong way. It’s just another way of doing so. It might work for some people, other people prefer different methods.

Find out who you really are. In your current experience where does I reside?

@Highest Well you aren't supposed to believe in them you are supposed to embody and experience them for yourself. Although I'm saying this, I am still falling into the intellectualizing trap every day haha

@Highest Beautiful. Which Advaita teachers are you following now?

I was watching a live streamer who was playing World of Warcraft. He described during his stream how he had found out about meditation and reading personal development books and how much it had helped him out. I was curious as if this could help me too with anxiety so I starting looking into personal development and meditation. after a certain while I was bought on the idea of improving myself and getting the best out of life. Then I found out about Leo’s videos and spiritual literature and never stopped being interested ever since

@Dodo Yes these dreams can feel so vivid and real it’s unbelievable. Before this dream I described, I had another one where my hair would fall out slowly. In this dream I was remembering how recently I had found a lot of hair on my sleeping pillow. So weird how you can even have simulated memories in sleep. Also over time, I started noticing bald spots. Which really shocked the hell out of me

Last night I had a very weird dream. In this dream ( This is the part that I still remember) I was holding a gun. There was a strange looking person in front of me. At some point my vision became hazy and there was a lot of pain in my heart area. The person said to me “ You know you are infected. You have two choices now, live with suffering for the rest of your life or end it now.” For some reason there was no hesitation in my body, I pointed the gun at my temple and fired. There was short sting I felt but after that there was complete darkness. No thoughts, no feelings, no perceptions, nothing. There was just this awareness that was present. Awareness without any experience to fill it up. Just awareness. It felt very strange to me. What could this dream mean? I know this is kind of a weird story but for some reason it had a very deep effect on me.

Beautiful

@Adam M It is not possible to leave the now. What would such an experience look like?

@BobbyLowell It is not that everyone loves everyone. It is that the very nature of our existence is love. Existence is an expression of love

Well, the mind is finite. It could never understand enlightenment whatsoever, so it is impossible to conceptualize or visualize enlightenment as far as I know. Enlightenment doesn’t happen to the person. @Leo Gura Ah well, I wasn't aware it was possible in this way. Thanks for the info

@Torkys Damnn.. I was just listening to slim shady . Maybe not the most positive music but some of his songs really have that touch of pure motivation

@SFRL True, that’s why I am working through it with a psychologist

@SFRL This is surface stuff, it won’t affect the deep inner emptiness one experiences

This problem of ‘lack’ or ‘emptiness’ has been a big one for me too. Inquire into who it is that is lacking. What you’ll find is that one doesn’t exist.

@PretentiousHuman me too. But you gotta keep getting back up. 14 days has been my longest streak. Ready to break it this time
