@Nahm Yes, i am aware, so?

Well, that seems to me the structure of language, not reality. And awareness only exists when there is some sort of means of sensory input like vision, otherwise, it would be a complete blank like in deep sleep or before this body was conceived or after it "death". Well, that's a serious mindfuck lol

@Leo Gura H o l y s h i t ! This is so strange and shocking @traveler The question and answer format if more like a "point me to the right direction and I take it from here" kind of thing, I know I have to come to those insights through my direct experience and that is what i am doing, the theory is supplementary when i am stuck and cannot find my way through direct experience alone.

If it makes you workout, this aggressiveness does serve you. If I had to choose between "aggressive" behavior in order to workout or no workout at all, I would choose the first one.

Well, maybe, when you were little, you lived in an environment that wasn't safe to speak up and shine and you learned that your best survival strategy was to fit in and don't make any unnecessary noise. Children exposed to frequent traumatic events will often dissociate, withdrawn and make themselves invisible, like a frozen still animal pretending to be dead hoping to make the predator lose interest. Take this passive approach to life long enough and you have a deeply ingrained character trait, changing it means that a lot of deep-seated fear will come to the surface. There is no way around it, be bold and brave, gradually desensitize yourself from fear by being exposed to it little by little. Also, look for areas that you are confident and explore it, this will spread to your whole life. I found that when I started to workout, gain some strength and learn how to fight (through martial arts), the confidence I discovered wasn't limited to those areas but I got bolder in a broader sense. I recommend for you to visualize yourself being successful, try to feel it as much as possible and just stay with it, make your body feel comfortable with confidence and success. This will also become a habit, soon will be your modus operandi.

Apparently he took it like a champ. People asked him why he wouldn't use his powers to cure himself, he said that it was time to left his body and that just accepted it.

@Roy it is certainly a skill and can be learned, improved and mastered. But, as it is said in the community, especially in early days: direct experience is king. You can read all you want, watch hours of infield footage and courses but you will really learn by doing real approaches, interacting with women and getting a feel for what works and what doesn't. This way you can learn the deep nuances that only direct experience can give you. Like meditation, you learn by doing it, not by reading, although it you also have to study the or.

@electroBeam This is actually not that hard to do when you are in the right state, because you need massive positive assumption and calibration. When you are "in state" (could call it flow), women just sense this shit oozing out of you, sometimes you lock eyes with a girl and you just see that it is ON, she is in a trance, you approach her like you approach a cat, smooth movements, leading the interaction physically while still locking eye contact and go for the kiss. You also have to be extremely aware of her state to stop at any sign of discomfort, this means you have to be all-in, 100% present, playing to win, not to not lose.

Even with a trip sitter, what if you just stand up and run through a window, how could a trip sitter seriously stop you? They are fas and strong enough? If you fight them? Think things through.

Can relate, going through this right now. This basically means that your old ways of doing things aren't going to work anymore, almost like you aced a level in a video game but to go to the next one you have to transform into something else. It is time to let the old die and the new to flourish. Create a new, more authentic vision of the future you really want to live. Deep soul searching is required. Alone time. Contemplation. Paper and pen. Make powerful questions to yourself and just write freely. Try new stuff, don't be afraid of bold life changes like moving to another city, selling all your stuff etc.

@Zak "If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid with regard to external things." -Epictetus. It is a skill, you must try things outside your comfort zone to improve it and you WILL fall flat on your face frequently. Showing me a clip of Michael Jordan missing shots doesn't make him less of a legend. If you follow the advice of the guy in the video you posted and go out approaching 100 women, I guarantee you that most of those interactions will be so cringy that you will actually get used to it. The mark of a man that women love is his ability to withstand great amounts of social pressure without breaking down.

In a way, he isn't wrong, but the game here is not only about numbers, but about skills. Preparation + opportunity = Luck If you lack skills, you are going to have a bad time, even if you approach 100 women in one night, yeah, you will find one or two that is interested in you but the quality will be awful. And when I talk about quality, I do mean compatibility, not just looks. Most newbies can't put their real personalities on the line and end up with the wrong type of girls. If you want quality pick up resources, check the channel of Todd, he knows what he is talking about:

Looks like you have too much conceptualization in your mind and this is dangerous when they don't match our direct experience. What does your intuition tell you? Could the truth be more simple?

Here in this forum, everyone feels this untapped potential you are talking about. Self-help is all about trying to actualize this potential, bring it through fruition, actually using it, as much as you can.

I used to like him a lot, even had him in my "life goals list", bought some of his products etc, but ultimately he seems to have regressed a LOT, he became ultra-conservative and narrowminded, just setting a shitty example for his followers (mostly young man looking for good role models).

This is interesting... People nowadays are being canceled for way less than that, it is interesting to think about his music still selling on platforms like YouTube and Spotify. That just goes to say how much this outrage green stage movement can be selective.

I guess you still have to honor your particular incarnation with its preferences

You are going to have a bad time. The vipassana retreat I did as a student I was meditating with ease for 1h every day and when I did the first meditation there I realized the mistake I made because after that meditation session you usually have a few minutes of interval and is sent back to meditate again for one more hour. This means that if you had a painful last sitting, this time will be worse and it accumulates all day long. I guess is part of the retreat to take you to your limit, physically, mentally, and emotionally. But I do recommend that you go there well prepared to meditate for 2-3hours straight and then you will have a much better learning curve, I suppose. You will go deeper into the retreat, otherwise, you'll be pure chaos and pain for most of it leading to a huge ego backlash after. I did finish the retreat but it was hellish for me and I didn't meditate or did anything related to spirituality for the next 6 months.

I guess it depends on your mindset going through conversations. You can listen to learn about the subject, about the person, to respond etc I try to learn about the person, the subject and everything else (small and big picture thinking). When it is small talk, i get myself reacting automatically, with generic responses that fit that situation energetically. You can also just listen like a mindfulness practice and in this case you can go so meta that you hardly learn anything about the object but you learn about the structure of reality itself. Sometimes when i read a word, i become aware that letters are just drawings that we attach symbols to and when this happen it can be hard to pay attention to the symbol itself. I got myself a few times starring to a word as common as "house" without making sense of it, finding everything so weird like saw it for the first time. This isn't bad, but it is another level of awareness. You are not required to say something every time people direct a word to you. I often just stare people blankly when they finish talking because i don't have anything to say and i don't want to use the usual generic reactions. Usually, people just laugh, with time it became just "me" to do this, it is something that makes me unique, in a good way.

Well, nothing is so good that can't get better...

What option do i have?

When everyone around you is having awakenings except you

I do suffer from it and from my research and experiments I learned: 1. Beliefs play a crucial role in how we feel, chronic fatigue usually comes from low self-esteem and living in fearful states. Alexander Lowen talks about this indirectly in his books. I highly recommend you to research bioenergetics and learn to untangle this fatigue patterns. Start with the book "Fear of Life" and "the denial of the body", both by Alexander Lowen. Also, see: Great videos. Your body and mind are 100% connected and close in a feedback loop. If you stay laying down all day, the body and mind will want more of it, and if you get used to exercising, your body-mind also gets used to it and asks for more. At some points in my life I had a few jobs where I had to be standing up and walking for 8+ hours. At first, I thought I wasn't capable of it but when I HAD to do it, I found that I had way more strength and energy that I previously thought. 2. Negative thought loops, decision fatigue and personality fatigue (not being your self) all deplete our energy way more than we like to think. Here is a book that talks about it: Poise And Power Be extremely aware of your thought pattern. Envision yourself constantly full of energy and enthusiasm but with poise and power (not that jumpy jittery weak kind of energy). The mind can heal ANYTHING. 3. Raw foods diet, sunlight, nature, pure water. Don't put anything in your skin that you wouldn't put in your mouth, that included industrialized soaps, shampoos, medicines, etc. Avoid coffee and stimulants. 4. Work on your first, second, and third chakras. They affect your adrenal glands that it is probably shut down right now. Most people live in a constant state of tension and fear, secreting adrenaline and cortisol all day and causing adrenal fatigue.

Yes, it is helping but these things take time to gain a really good momentum although you can see changes fast. Right now I am focusing on healing my body and mind, this will give me a nice foundation for self actualization, a health body generates a health mind, it's all connected.
