Thanks everyone for the encouragement and advice, I'm going to continue with the recordings. If I find a specific part to be cringe, Audacity makes it easy to cut that part and re-do it.

I can speak based on what I experienced with LSD and what Leo said in his "What is death?" video. What you're saying is probably the most accurate outcome of life after death. Leo says it, forum users say it, other sources say it, and LSD showed me it. It's completely lights out. No mind, no thoughts, no feelings, no attachments, no memories of life on earth, no human senses, no self. You cease to exist. One thing you're missing here though is that, with non-existence there's this state of pure bliss. Leo mentions this in the video, and it happened in my LSD trip as well. This is probably the best thing that ever happened to me, it was so peaceful that I actually wanted it to last for eternity. This is probably where the concept of heaven came from. Another thing to add is that, in a way its similar to us as humans, being asleep. But when we're sleeping, we don't really know we're asleep. We sleep on our bed, have some dreams then a couple hours later we're awake in our human body. And so, from what I experienced in my trip, you have complete awareness, awareness of nothingness. As humans we're aware that we exist as humans, but through ego-death you're aware that you exist as nothing. I wouldn't know if this lasts for eternity when we literally physically die and if we reincarnate into another living being but I would say there's nothing to fear if our memory of our current life is completely gone. Of course we don't have our current thoughts and feelings after we die, so there's no regret or wishing that we came back to life after we die lol, those thoughts don't exist anymore. Nothing is permanent. People talk about being afraid of death because they have so much to live for but what does all that matter if the illusion of life just completely disappears as if it were just a human's dream? That's like a human in his dream saying he's afraid to wake up because he has so much left to do in his dream.

@King Merk :') thanks for that

The content of my videos, the things that I say. The videos are somewhat unrelated to spirituality but I listen to so much Leo that I end up throwing in some shit that sounds all spiritual in there, which is cringe.

@King Merk I just feel a bit of pressure cause I have some followers that I've personally interacted with a bit on Instagram and they're subscribed to me. I feel pressured to post good content for them, it would be easier though if I started from 0 subs. These thoughts of mine aren't healthy though. Bunch of excuses.

Got myself involved in the usual pyramid scheme/multi-level marketing business at 18 years old, the company was called "ACN." This guy from my high-school noticed me at work, befriended me and invited me to a presentation and all that. Sign up fee was $499, and I actually wanted to try it out. I was in it for a year, recruited a few people and I made a total of $300. BUT, when you're involved with these pyramid schemes there's so many fucking fees that eat up the money in your bank account. Every week $5 to $20 for the sATuRDAy bUiSNESS pRESenTatioN. $20 if its some "Regional Vice President" from the fricken' US. Training events every couple months where they teach you how to be a better scammer, probably around $80/ticket. And last but not least, International events where you travel to some state to meet at a sports center with a bunch of other scammers from across the world involved in ACN. International event tickets are $200. Then you pay out of your own pocket for transportation. If the state is across the country, you buy your own flight ticket. If the state is close, they overcharge you for a "Team Bus" ticket which was around $200. Sometimes they would rent cars and also charge us $200 for 'gas.' If you question this charge they get pissed off. Hotels, they overcharged us too. They packed 10+ people in ONE ROOM. It costs them about $300 for one room, and they charged each person $200 so they profit. If you complain then they tell you to get your own room, but you'll quickly realize if you got your own room its more expensive, $300. They're manipulative about everything. In total I'm down around $5000 because of all those fees, this was 7 years ago though. Got involved in a crypto pump & dump scam in 2017. This guy had a Youtube channel called "High on Coins" where he would cover crypto related topics. Then he started promoting this token called "Chain Coin," telling us how it would be bigger than Bitcoin. It was worth pennies, then he got it to pump to $7, I put in only $300 around $5 per token and it quickly dumped below $1 minutes or hours later. On his Youtube channel he kept telling everyone he's still holding because "its going to reach $1000 per coin!!!" He blamed the crash/dump on some other Youtuber. He never ended up admitting it was a scam he just blamed the development team for being lazy. These pump & dumps still exist today at a larger scale. People pump & dump coins all the time without a Youtube channel, all they need is a Telegram or Discord group. Got phished for gold coins in this online game I used to play. The gold is actually worth real money. They had their phishing link at the top of the Google search results through Google ads. I was looking for a site to sell my gold then clicked their link because they falsely advertised a good exchange rate. And I didn't just trust some random website, they literally copied a well-known legit gold site's webpage and slightly changed the domain name to make it look like the legit site. I traded the guy the gold and bam, lost $400 worth of gold.

@Terell Kirby If 1% of the world population is at Yellow then of course they'll be difficult to find, especially if for the most part they tend to isolate themselves at home. You most likely won't find them in person at an event, club, or other sort of group setting, but I did find an old thread where Leo says, "Green or yellow friends you can find at university, meditation/consciousness retreats, seminars/workshops, etc." Which makes sense. I'm sure a handful of people here on these forums are at or almost at Yellow, and are looking for like-minded individuals so you can interact with them here, but it seems like you're already doing so. To find Yellow friends in person to hang out with is the difficult part, but all it takes is getting out there and socialize. I myself would like some like-minded friends but I don't bother going out to socialize. I'm at a point where I'd rather just be alone than have friends who don't share the same ideas or interests as me, because to be honest I don't really need friends. My last 3 friendships I easily threw away because we just didn't share the same level of thinking, (plus they were toxic) and now I basically have 0 friends which is completely fine with me, I love solitude. At Tier 2 I believe that there's no need for friends, but rather friends are more of just an optional addition to your life. Just keep digging, maybe you'll strike gold or diamond, and make sure to dig in the right spots.

What would cause people to be afraid of the mRNA vaccines if I may ask? I'm currently unvaccinated, although I am looking to get it at some point. I was thinking Moderna but this post leads me to believe that it actually matters what type of vaccine you get. Cause to be honest I know nothing about vaccine technology, maybe Novavax is something to consider. If Novavax actually is the best covid vaccine out there like some sources may claim then hey, I guess it paid off for me and several other people to be cautious and wait it out for a bit rather than to just take whatever is readily available.

Perhaps, but I did go back to watch the beginning of the video and now I do get the bigger picture. Its a meta-perspective that goes beyond just escaping society as a human being who hunts for his own food and lives off the grid. A perspective that looks at the bigger picture of how society works, how it constructs itself, and it analyzes it at its core. I do think that it goes both ways though, to question and escape society at the meta-level perspective as presented in the video, should also eventually lead us to escape society at the physical level as well. If not then my point still stands, it's all just mental masturbation, it's intellectualization for entertainment. How could we discuss the illusions of society but then still partake in the illusion of society? That's like listening to motivational self-help advice to help you get off your ass, but then in reality you do agree with the advice but you still sit on the couch playing video games eating Doritos & drinking Mountain Dew. Maybe this is the bigger-picture that we're missing here, it's all just mental masturbation. To deny this I would say is justification. "Wow cool ideas about society!" *Proceeds to work a 9-5, browse the internet, watch TV, play video games, shop at the grocery store, participate in social activities* This is also a response to @RendHeaven And edit: I do understand what you're saying RendHeaven. I call it mental masturbation because I don't see how exactly the information presented in that video is practical. Leo even admits its the ultimate conspiracy theory. It's sort of the same thing as saying life is an illusion, but what can we actually do with that information? I guess it just leads to more understanding, and maybe that's what we're all here to do, to understand reality, but still, mental masturbation. Maybe it helps guide us with our psychedelic trips, to understand these deeper concepts. The theory that life is an illusion certainly made sense of an acid trip I had. I died and the illusion of life just vanished completely into nothingness.

Do people who develop a spiritual ego get some sort of validation out of acting from a place of superiority? "I'm better and more woke than you, so bow down to me and kiss my feet." Why do these spiritual narcissists feel a sense of validation for creating a false identity that attempts to make themselves appear greater than others? "I'm Stage Coral and everyone is below me. I'm Stage Yellow, I'm Stage Turquoise, I'm Stage Coral. I'm Stage Coral, let me mention that on a daily basis just so you know. And just to let you know, I'm Stage Coral." Did they just not get enough attention growing up that rather than seeking validation for materialistic achievements they instead seek validation for their spiritual achievements? Is developing a spiritual ego just a part of the process that everyone on a spiritual path goes through? I know its definitely something that I personally went through, I always used to act like I'm better than everyone else but gladly over time it eventually faded away. Out of curiosity, at what point do people start to grow past this stage? Do they snap out of it one day and start to recognize their own delusion? I found a pretty good video on spiritual ego:

A comment about the video, it seems only to be a mental masturbation video rather than anything else. It does present an achievable destination that we may strive towards, which I believe is to reach a point where we become completely independent with little to no involvement in society, living off the grid perhaps. It’s either that or the whole point of the video is just to see beyond the illusions that society creates, which Leo admits is the mother of all conspiracy theories. Which again I’d say is just pure mental masturbation. Cool ideas that we understand on an intellectual level but we all know no one here is truly going to live that lifestyle of complete independence, and not even Leo either probably. Leo justifies his part in the social matrix in the video when he talks about the fact that he’s on Youtube and how living in the forest on your own is a pipe dream. My point overall, mental masturbation. The social matrix is survival, and there’s no escaping it. But to say its absolutely impossible to escape is an excuse. Anyone can drop everything and go live out in the wilderness on their own. Humans have been doing it for ages. We’re just too stuck in our zone of comfort.

@RendHeaven I see When you said this I thought you were projecting onto me, implying that I'm a spiritual narcissist seeking validation. I thought huh, all I did was ask some questions lol

I think Leo here is talking about my recent 'anti-vaxx' thread that he locked To be honest though, the decision to lock the thread seemed like it was in favor of survival or the social matrix that you're talking about. But oh well, we're all apart of the social matrix and it's nearly impossible for us to completely escape. Although the thread certainly was conspiratorial, so I can't deny that. I actually am considering taking the vaxx at some point, I just don't know when.

Elaborate

@Sagar Gopalani No if you ask a girl from the jump that you want sex she'll probably get creeped out. Here, this video may help, watch his others too:

@Sagar Gopalani By rapport I meant to create conversation with them first before going for the number or asking them out. But also I think it depends on what you want. Do you want one night stands or a girlfriend? If you want one night stands then follow 'Red Pill' advice as shown in that video. If you don't know what Red Pill is look it up. If you want a girlfriend then try the opposite approach.

@Sagar Gopalani Yes, try anything and everything to figure out what works for you. But obviously try to build rapport with them first through small talk, don't just say "I think your cute, lets exchange numbers, I would love to take you out" as soon as you approach them lol And understand its a numbers game so some interactions will work out for you and some won't. Good luck

I hope it was worth it

If you're just starting out, start small. When I used to do cold approaches I started with a 30-day challenge created by a channel on Youtube called "Simple Pickup." The challenge started off easy with you hi-fiving 5 people, asking for directions, compliment people, etc. Then it gradually gets a tad bit more difficult like take a photo with 5 strangers, ask for a girl's advice, get a girl's number, hold her hand. Go at your own pace, and try not to jump too ahead of yourself. Do it anywhere, the mall, on the streets, in a park, at a store.

This is not an anti-vax thread, I simply just would like to know why people are against the COVID vaccine or all vaccines in general. And I don't want to hear any toxic comments saying, "Well you might as well ask yourself why does ignorance exist?" I personally haven't taken the COVID vaccine yet, because I would say that I'm just way too open-minded to not explore the anti-vaccine perspective so I'd like to fully understand it first before I decide to have my body injected with any sort of fluids. The pro-vaccine perspective is obvious, so then that leaves me questioning the anti-vax perspective. Also, I see no urgency to take the vaccine other than the urgency from all the fearmongering on the news about the virus and health officials pushing us to get vaccinated. Based on Wikipedia & Worldometers.info linked below, depending on the country, the mortality rate for COVID-19 is about 1-3%? So all this fear for.. what again sorry? https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:COVID-19_pandemic_data Plus not only do those reasons above have me delay getting the vaccine, I also consider myself quite a healthy young adult in my mid twenties. I gym 4 times a week, I my supplements daily, organic multivitamins, zinc, vitamin D. And my diet is quite good, I trust my own immune system. But I get it, "take the vaccine to prevent getting the vulnerable sick and to prevent further mutation of the virus." So if 80% of the population needs to be vaccinated for a successful elimination of the virus then my province should be fine right? 75% of my province in Canada is already vaccinated, so do I take it because of the social pressure of everyone else taking it or can I stay quiet and rely on my own ability to take care of my own health? I doubt we'll have 100% of the global population fully vaccinated so why is it okay for the remaining 10-25% of the population to remain non-vaccinated? Who would be these people and why would they choose not to take it? Here are some further questions: I've already asked why does the anti-vax perspective exist, but why, is it because they have some sort of unknown truth about the vaccine that we simply do not know of? Is there potentially an unknown moderate-serious long-term side effect of the vaccine? We've all heard the "it's rushed" objection and the answer of "oh its already been in development before COVID." But correct me if I'm wrong, isn't the COVID vaccine not fully approved yet? Is it a good idea for us to take a vaccine that isn't fully approved, just to "potentially" protect ourselves from a 1-3% mortality rate from a virus? So why do these pharmaceutical companies have to have some sort of legal protection in place to prevent themselves from getting sued if the vaccines eventually does cause some long-term side effects/damage to these individuals? And just a comment, I get that most if not all people in a semi-developed country has previously taken a vaccine in their lives but this one is different, these COVID vaccines haven't been fully approved yet, again correct me if I'm wrong. I hold quite a bit of uncertainty here, it's difficult to believe that this virus exists since we can't physically see it ourselves. We only know that it collectively exists within' our own minds and that it exists within' all the media coverage. I don't doubt it exists though, it's just that no one that I personally know has gotten it, and I only a few celebrities that I know of have gotten it and/or have spoken publicly on it. Also, its just odd how most well-known celebrities or elites haven't announced that they've taken the vaccine, why is that so? I've only heard of some washed-up actors/celebrities who were relevant only in the early 2000s now in their 50's, taking the vaccine. Again, I'm not anti-vax, I'm just here to potentially have some questions answered, these are legit questions & objections that I have. Some final comments, I do believe the vaccine works and I believe its necessary to have the masses vaccinated ASAP, but I still think that a healthy lifestyle and daily supplementation beats vaccination, this might be an ignorant statement but prove me if I'm wrong. With that being said, maybe we can say at least 60% of the population live unhealthy lifestyles and that also includes the elderly so in that case that's why I would say a vaccine is necessary. We can't just get everyone on earth to start eating healthy and start exercising. Lastly, although I do believe the vaccine works, I still have all these questions and objections above. I personally see the vax as more of a potential risk than the virus itself. Thanks for reading.

After a long while, I've finally ditched the dollar store products and started to switch to more natural body wash, shampoo, and oral care products. I've mentioned this topic before but if you haven't switched out your personal care products to more cleaner and natural ones it might be a good idea to do so. Most if not all, personal products on the shelves at your local Shoppers Drug Mart or any other similar retail stores contain toxic ingredients that with regular use will lead to all sorts of cancers or any other damaging effects to your health down the road. Most might say this is obvious but then they still use the same products. For shampoo I've switched from the regular Pantene or Head & Shoulders shampoo to a natural plant-based shampoo by Dessert Essence. Everyone knows the fluoride in your toothpaste affects the third-eye and all that, so with toothpaste I switched to a fluoride-free product by again, Dessert Essence. Interestingly enough, there's fluoride and other toxic ingredients in your dental floss as well, I literally used to think it's just a harmless piece of string. Dessert Essence offers a cleaner product for that as well, and mouth wash too. For body wash, I get quite a bit of body acne so for several years I was using an acne body wash by Neutrogena. But I've started to realize it has been drying up my skin, and I'm not a scientist but it seems to lead to my body possibly secreting oil at the dried skin areas which leads to MORE ACNE. We're supposed to use that product to get rid of acne but its like a fucking product that maintains the acne so you can continue using it so the company makes more money, like a subscription service. Now I've ditched that product and for body wash I'm currently using body washes with Tea Tree Oil which is said to help get rid of acne + other benefits. The brand I'm using now is Dr. Bronner's, and I'm also going to try out the Dr. Woods brand as well, just ordered some yesterday. Deodorant, switched from Old Spice to this brand called "method men." Aluminum-free + more natural ingredients, and I switched because I found that Old Spice was literally burning my skin, it would give me huge rashes. Now most importantly, I haven't yet but I'm going to switch out my laundry detergent as well. Been using the regular Tide, Gain, and Head & Shoulders brands but they do contain toxic chemicals and these aren't good to breathe in, its literally all over our clothes and our pillow & blanket when we sleep at night. I might switch to a brand called "Nature Clean" or "Eco-Max." What personal care products do you use? Do you recommend any specific brands?

@flowboy Quick update: Messaged her earlier today in the morning like I said I would, texted her "How's things" She instantly replied and said "hey who is this", and in this moment I sat there in instant regret because I knew this was a stupid idea. But I went with it and said "some guy you met 5 months ago, just saying what's up" She asked if I had a name and mentioned that she got a new phone so she doesn't know who I am. I then asked, "this is _____ right". Because what if she changed her number and it was someone else. After I asked her this though I got no reply, maybe she figured out who I was. I took a nap and woke up several hours later to no reply still, so I messaged her again telling her my name and that I wasn't actually going to message her, this was sort of just a dare (a dare by you lol), but I mentioned I still genuinely wanted to say hi. No response to this either, but I may be speaking too soon, I'm going to give it until next morning. If she doesn't reply by then, then obviously I gotta throw it out and move on for good from this

Typical newbie and seemingly needy question, but the title says it. Going to text a girl I went on one date with 5 months ago, met her on a dating site, looking for possible suggestions on how I should do it. On the date, she made it seem like she was already mine, she was ready for the 2nd date already and we talked about how the relationship is going to go. We also previously agreed to meet once a week. So with this in mind, I thought I couldn't mess it up. I started to text her odd texts after the date, not giving a shit about attraction or game. But then, she would respond slow after hours or a couple days. This made me lose my mind. Tried calling her, and this lead us to having a text conversation about how she's no longer interested. I asked if it had something to do with me but she said no, its because of her and how she's depressed. But the story doesn't really make sense to me, I still believe it has more to do with my needy text messages. The conversation ended with her saying she's glad she has me as a friend and all, friendzone type bullshit. Later on, sent her a few more texts with no response then I left her alone. Now 5 months has passed, haven't talked to her or anything, I'm thinking I should send one text and if I get no response I'll let it go COMPLETELY. I'd rather try again with one final text than not. I'm thinking that I either send her a text acknowledging my mistakes that the texts I sent her back then were awkward or cringe, or a simple "Hey how's it been." Thoughts?

I actually haven't texted her since everyone says not to, maybe everyone's right. But since you ask and for your entertainment, today I'll just send her a short "How's it been" text. Just for you flowboy

99% definitely sounds a bit exaggerated but I found this article, this is maybe what he's referring to: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/22/us-coronavirus-covid-unvaccinated-hospital-rates-vaccines
