Anxiety attack symptoms are similar to heart attack symptoms. I have had this sensations before in my life, they started 10 years ago. I told myself: -''Wow these are heart attack symptoms!'' But I brush it off. I didn't know it was anxiety. On march 4 i had another episode. 3 weeks ago i had another episode. (I thought there was a good chance i would die in my sleep. I actually wrote a piece of paper with the date on it and saying: -''I love you mom, i love you sisters and i love you dad'' and left it on the living room table) And 2 days ago I thought i was having a heart attack. I went right away to the cardiologist he told me my heart is perfect. Turns out it was an anxiety attack. During these last episodes i thought i was going to die. I started thinking about my biggest regret in life: Not having lots of sex. I thought: -''OK so i am dying today, it was a nice ride. I just regret not having more sex.'' I cut my caffeine intake months ago to make this anxiety go away it has worked tremendously. Specially with the sweaty palms. As i write this i feel anxiety. For many people the fear of having another anxiety attack triggers a panic attack. Fear, Anger and thinking about the future gives me anxiety. Fight or flight response gives me extra adrenaline. Now that i know it is anxiety, i know i can go for a walk, or even a run to get the excess of adrenaline out. Before i didn't know, i will tough it out thinking that it was not a good idea to elevate my heart beat frequency. I smoke a lot of weed. Weed can help reduce overall anxiety levels. But weed can also exacerbate the anxiety attack. What helps? Meditation breathing techniques. I am so glad and grateful for having a healthy heart. Now is time to have a healthy mind.

Golden Grain trip report: I got picked from my dad's house at 4:45 am by the organizer. We arrived to Adriano's at 630, and we started the ride at 7:20 am. I burned a couple of matches at the very beginning trying to stay with the leading pack but I thought to myself: -''You know what? fuck this shit, those guys are riding to fast and I will probably pass them at the mountain'' So I started taking it slow and going back to my original plan which was to take it easy and start burning matches 3 hours in into the ride, not before. So i did that and every single rider passed me. I arrived last at the first check point, there i started to take things more seriously and was able to pass like 12-15 riders by checkpoint #2. When I reached checkpoint #3 the elite pack was there I could have just skipped checkpoint #3 and try to arrive with the leaders, but i didn't. I did my routine at the checkpoint and went downhill with one of the guides. At the main downhill I forgot to unblock my suspension and did the whole downhill on a rigid bike, and i was still able to keep up with the guide. I am truly The Lord and Master of The Downhill. The whole ride took me 5 hours and 20 minutes. It was great! Cycling tip of the week: Maintain your right. See you next time.

Thanks!

Hi, i gotta have this here. I know i am not naturally aggressive, I am no cat. But if i am gonna be a goat, i am gonna be like this goat.

Hi, the hype is real for this Golden Grain ride! This area is known for it's abundance of magic mushrooms, so OFC I'll pick me a couple if i spot them. I cope me some new Maxxis IKON tires + some Biogel Louis Garneau gloves. These tires are easy to put on and easy to get off, i got them at a good price from my best friend. I made a research online and decided to stay using regular tube tires. Already got the mineral pills and a couple of gels too. My bike looks like a Ferrari F1 car with those new tires! Every thing is all set ,and it's gonna be great! I'll leave you with the cycling tip of the week: Stay in your lane. See you next week with a full trip report.

@Not me Thanks!

Hi, sorry for the low quality post. When i wrote it I was just bitter and jealous about some of you guys having a relationship, so cool, that you decide to live together, . I still think is not for me though. I was redpilled by my dad who went through 2 divorces, and by seeing what my mom's marriage has become, and by seeing my aunt marry 4 times, and by that 50% statistic. Sincere Apologies Arc

I view them like they are asleep.

Getting married is super dumb. Incredibly stupid. We are natural polygamists. I will never get married. Why would you want to eat vanilla ice cream for the rest of your life? I wanna try all the flavors and the new ones that come up. Us men, what we really want is sexual abundance and variety. Marriage comes from a scarcity mind set. Clearly you gotta be super undeveloped to even think about getting married.

Yes. Absolutely. People will bring you down, ask you difficult questions, and tell you that is not possible. That is better to play it safe and bla bla bla. This will de-motivate you and make you doubt yourself and your abilities.

Hi, I quit porn a while ago. The way i did it was realizing that i was confusing the map with the territory. Those are not girls they are pixels in a computer screen forming the image of a girl. The way i did it was realizing that when you watch porn you are training yourself to become a cuckold. You feel attracted to porn, actresses meaning that you fantasize about them being your girls then you go watch and jerk off to SOMEONE ELSE fucking your girl. And finally the most powerful one was hearing horror stories about guys unable to get it up without porn Watch the self deception series Leo talks about porn in those. Watch 30 ways society fucks you in the ass Porn has been fucking you in the ass @saish Cut that shit off immediately. (If you want a better life)

I was thinking about making this thread, and typed in the search box the word: atheism. One of Leo's recent posts came up and i decided to click on it: ''True atheism leads to God. Atheism and theism go full-circle and the entire circle is God.'' -Leo Gura This happened to me before my awakening experience. At 32 yo I became an atheist. At 38 yo i had the realization while meditating that nothing is everything and everything is nothing. So If i say: ''God doesn't exist.'' (like all atheists do) I am also saying: ''God is nothing'' Which means that i am also saying: ''God is everything'' At this point i am like: -''Oh shit God does exist!'' I am about to get dark so you might just stop reading now and just answer the poll. Right now there is a little girl being raped in some part of the world. The way theists see it: There is a god who is watching this, but can not interfere with the freewill of the rapist. Even though he loves the rapist and the little girl, and even though he is all powerful. Girl goes to heaven, rapist goes to hell and burn forever IF he doesn't repent. And there is an even more twisted scenario where the rapist goes to heaven and the little girl goes to hell. This point of view made no sense to me, so decided to drop it and become an atheist. The way I see it now: Long story short: God is raping himself. ''For a Christian, the final obstacle will be to throw away her notion of God and Christ -- to finally realize the actual God. Only after this final step will you become a true Christian in the way Jesus wanted.'' -Leo Gura Translation: For a Christian, the final obstacle will be to become an atheist -- to finally realize the actual God. Only after this final step will you become a true Christian in the way Jesus wanted. Right?

No i never said i was self realized (whatever that is) I am not enlightened and honestly i am not sure if i ever wanna be, even though it is inevitable as some people say. I had an awakening experience, which is different from being enlightened or self realized. Honestly today i was bothered about what jesus said buddha said because i didn't take my medicine. When i am on my medicine IDGAF. I don't even post that much as you can see. Peace.

Do both, but instead of a 9 to 5 get a 9 to 3 and work 2-4 hours a day on your own thing whatever it is. At least that's what i am doing. May i ask why do you want a family? Why do you want more responsibilities? Why do you want to limit your self to eat vanilla ice cream (sex with the same woman) for the rest of your life? Makes no sense to me. Maybe you were brainwashed by your culture into thinking that you want a family? Peace.

because of this: ''True atheism leads to God. Atheism and theism go full-circle and the entire circle is God.'' -Leo Gura This happened to me before my awakening experience. At 32 yo I became an atheist. At 38 yo i had the realization while meditating that nothing is everything and everything is nothing. So If i say: ''God doesn't exist.'' (like all atheists do) I am also saying: ''God is nothing'' Which means that i am also saying: ''God is everything'' At this point i am like: -''Oh shit God does exist!'' For example: -Right now there is a little girl being raped in some part of the world. The way theists see it: There is a god who is watching this, but can not interfere with the freewill of the rapist. Even though he loves the rapist and the little girl, and even though he is all powerful. Girl goes to heaven, rapist goes to hell and burn forever IF he doesn't repent.

Is atheism necessary in the path of spirituality?

Hi @Hansu , my name is Arcangelo and i am an alcoholic. I have been sober for 7years+ Quitting alcohol is my life's biggest accomplishment. Chronological list of things i quit after alcohol: -TV -Soda and chocolates -3 toxic friendships (cut almost all of my friends out of my life) -Porn (this is a big accomplishment too) -Ice Cream. -Coffee. If i could do it ANYONE can do it Currently working on quitting cookies, and being judgemental. @Hansu you are on the right path. Awareness alone is curative. Journal about your addictions, by just watching them you will overcome them. Wish you the best!

Free will vs determinism. When i heard it, it blew my mind. I thought I was having an awakening experience, and maybe i kinda did. But now that i know what a full blown awakening experience is like, i can't call it an awakening. I will call it a mind fuck. Thanks Leo!

Wake up and go to sleep at the same time everyday

Scroll back, there are some great threads at the health and fitness sub forum. I gave up coffee, i used to drink 2-3 cups a day. Now i drink 5-2 cups of green tea a day. It was a good move. I didn't give it up entirely though, I drink 1-2 cups a week. It's an ace under my sleeve.

Hi, today i payed the fee for the trip. I am staying the night before at my dad's house, so the minibus can pick me from there. Tomorrow i am buying gloves, salt pills and gels. I am gonna wait until a few days before the ride to switch to tubeless tires, just like a Formula 1 car. I'll be getting rid of aprox. 1kg off of my bike with this move. It's a lot of weight that i don't need to be carrying around + is probably more green to go tubeless. Tomorrow's training blocks: 5:20 am- 6:20 mellow ride / 8am -8:30 am sprint ride / 2:30 - 3:15 mellow ride (All flat pavement) It's gonna be great! See you next time.

Hi, first of it all thanks for reminding me, since we forget due to conditioning and the illusion appearing so real. I am 0% human. -I am an infinite spiritual being that exists interdimensionally. -I was never born, i will never die. I have never been alive. I just exist. -I am Nothing. I am pure spirit. I am no longer a human being, I am more now: I am pure spirit, i am an interdimensional being. I was given a human body to move around here (in this physical dimension). This life is a game, it's a gift where nothing really matters except for probably developing loving connections with other beings (human or not). I feel like i have been awaken. For the first time i know what i really am, and i am not human. I am contained in this human form while i am physically awake. I am pretty sure that every night when i am asleep i go to some other places (dimensions) This is weird because a part of me says that i have to keep this to myself. That if i share it i will just confirm everybody's suspicions about me being crazy. Another part of me knows that some people will know exactly what i am talking about because they have been awaken too. And some other people, the most important group: the ones that are about to wake up, those are the ones that need to hear the message: You guys are not your body, you are so much more than that. You are spiritual beings, you don't have a form. You were given the gift of life, cherish it, enjoy it, get the most out of it. Do not sweat the small stuff, and guess what: It's all small stuff. You guys are complete already, you always were. You guys are eternal. We are all connected: what you do to yourself you do it to others, and what you do to others you do it to yourself. Peace and love to you all

Pick up is personal development.
