Idk what you consider "advanced guys" because if he "just switches it up" it could be in a shallow fake way where he is just like chameleon and not much independent in how he is, so theres still significant portion of women who will smell that shallowness. In my comment I meant what i've most commonly heard in regards to "pick up", meanwhile advanced is rare.

I did a search for epistemic responsibility, just out curiosity, to see if thats ever come up before. Its an interesting place to start. I was thinking "What happens if thats the entry point for some people". Or why not? Id investigate all of these terms, perhaps not starting here if it doesnt fit w/ your immediate interests, but instead, lead up to. Or maybe you do start here and that is then the entry into building a routine around these ideas... This of course is more of the.... You sit down in a class and write down on a chalk board "X means Y" typeve stuff. Then later you go back and learn "Oh that stuff we learned was actually all wrong, or in the very least, it depended on this entire subset of stuff", like its sortve like "What comes first the chicken or the egg", cause yas gotta start somewhere, right? Doesnt matter where really. -

(Note: if you respond to my comment, I will not engage with you and encourage your ban. This is just my thoughts on an intellectual interest of mine.) I've identified a distinction in my "cult" concept (which is essentially identical to new religious movements, NRMs, plus or minus the religiosity depending on how it's defined) which I think is relevant for how problematic it is (and I like the "cult" term exactly because it doesn't try to sanitize or shine away from the fact that such groups can be very often problematic and that there is a reason that the cultural consensus is that way). I was thinking about a group like Bernardo Kastrup's zoom calls or any contemporary non-duality adjacent space compared to this place. The former can be defined as cults because they are social groups with deviant beliefs from the rest of society (entertaining spiritual enlightenment, metaphysical idealism, etc.) and of course have religious/spiritual tendencies. However, the latter is that while also being insulary, in the sense that there is no collaboration or identification of "allies", no identification with a larger movement outside one's own. Bernardo Kastrup collaborates with other people with similar ideas, he has them on in his zoom calls, and he interviews them on the Essentia Foundation channel; he identifies with a larger philosophical movement (idealism), of course putting his own twist on it. Rupert Spira is the same. Leo? He gives interviews to shouting box podcasts, he doesn't collaborate with people who simply share the general vision and invest their time into sharing that vision with the world. There is a sense that one is special and that there is therefore nobody else to collaborate with, and that this naturally comes down to the ideas of one person (the leader), or one particular interpretation of an icon or ideal (like in sects). And I think it's in this insularity that the problematic aspects of cults arise because of the strong in-group/out-group dynamic and also that there are no other groups to hold you accountable. When you identify with a larger movement (call it a sub-culture or counterculture movement), you are part of a collective, you are tied to a larger part of society, so there is more grounding, stability, and also influx of different perspectives, people to call you out on bullshit. When you are insulary, you are like that little incestious family that the authorities find out have been keeping their children locked in a basement their entire upbringing not letting them see sunlight or have any social contact so they can't speak or take care of themselves. The parents think it's just business as usual because they're so used to it and that yes, maybe it got a little out of hand, but many small baby steps over time gets you far into the murkiest places.

Okay, we can arrange that. I will PM you.

Social circle is good for extroverts. Introverts not so much. Social circle requires a lot of regular socializing to maintain. You can't just start and stop it on a dime, like going to the club.

Gold will always go higher in price in the long-term because dollars are being printed every day. Gold used to cost $20/oz, 100 years ago.

@Hojo I like the way you think about these things. 👍 -
Jirh replied to Carl-Richard's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
These are not the same things said in different ways. Not even close. "The sensual touch induces endorphinergic signalling which synergizes with the placebo effect which increases the innate regenerative mechanisms of the body" is simultaneously infinitely more truthful (epistemically correct) and useful (pragmatic) and magical (ontologically correct) than the bland ignorant mythical "healing energy leads to healing". Notice that the scientific explanation offers many things that the psychic explanation doesn't: A clear unhidden mechanism. Epistemic humility. Openness for being wrong. Clarity. Capacity for criticism. Possibility of development. A whole bunch of established terms. The magical part is that each of those terms/components is inexplicable ultimately, yet somehow, we can spot it and make use of it. The psychic explanation is vague and closed. Nothing to find there. Nothing to discuss. Nothing to improve. Purely mythical and dogmatic. It offers nothing. It proves nothing. It says nothing. -
This is what I am understanding about feminism from these videos. Patriarch men want a father - daughter relationship with their wives. They want their wife to obey them, they will happily pay for everything but the wife must listen to them. This is why they want their wives to respect them more than love them. They will do everything around the house, a caretaker of children more than a wife and husband. Liberal want to be more man and wife. They want to be equal beings in a relationship. Both are parents to their children. The man brings himself down or the woman bring herself up and the man take more of a mother role for their children. They help take care of the children more and the woman get more freedom. These feminists have gone without barrier for so long that they are turning into the opposite of patriarch. Matriarcle women want a Mother - son relationship with their husband. They want to control the husband via his language. They want to control the mind of the man. They will go out and get money but the man must be trained and maintained like a person son. Here is the problem with these feminist, they want to remain the daughter with the obeying son. Its dont work that way and men wont do it. Only the pussy men will. This is radical feminism. Its not equal at all.

Social circle is better than cold approach, it’s just harder to do.

I have not touched my TX THC medicinal cannabis vape in over a month because of how ridiculously powerful it is. I actually spoke to my provider last week. I have to see a provider once a year to renew my prescription. She told me how they underestimated how strong it is - they don’t believe a 5 second puff gives 5 mg of THC - bypassing the conservative law. So now she recommends I puff for only 2 seconds next time. One deep, 5 second puff on the highest setting is 100% guaranteed to show me WTF GOD is. Too much Love! So, does it increase my consciousness? You bet your ass it does! https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-701

Im borrowing leos title for a moment, as i wanna make sure im using the idea that people recognize. Epistemic responsibility, or epistemic response as it would be related through Latin's neuter past participle, "respondere", to respond, to reply back -sortve thing, this is a truth that you ride. From the dawntil dusk, sunset to sunrise. You're responding back to yourself, and you are doing so through the knowledge, the foreknowing, the understanding from a life of seeing thus far, what corresponds to this life, what this life might even be to begin w/, those sorts of ideas are a small part of the responsibility of self; The responsibility to carry the torch and to deconstruct the self. Somewhere @12:00 he says just that, in the fact of how, the priority of epistemic reversal on self must actually be that priority. It must be at the pinnacle. This is the video game that should be at the pinnacle in other words. Video games within that video game, they gotta be like, either far nested or incorporated to serve that epistemic responsibility. I mean, any other video games you play are to become the priority/ by dispensing more and more actions elsewhere. Like, you increase your odds of fulfilling that sacred responsibility if its \*revisiting this sacred idea in or around epistemic knowledge (now im using it in the modern, self reflected way, self reflected knowledge). I phrase it like that because, we dont actually know "how" to get from A to B when it comes to these things, e.g., if you really love video games, you might play video game 1 in the morning, video game 2in the evening, video game 3 at night, and in between you eat dinner, take a shower... Its not leaving alot ofroom to contemplate WHAT you are doing that stuff for, and WHY you like to do it. That is the dilemma. That itself is the dilemma. You need to have gone through something to just erase that structured life, straight up, for then you think like this: Morning epistemic knowledge, evening epistemic knowledge, And at night, epistemic knowledge. I can only say what you have to do. I dont know how you get there. I like to assume everyone is there.

@Breakingthewall Its like a blank mind with voices in it. It pays attention to a single talking voice and makes a reality out of it. It can see its not the reality, not the body, not the talking voice and then it can see the the talking voice is just doing it by itself, like a speaker playing a song. The speaker can stay on and you can sit back and see. -
I'm watching this in 2 days. I will give a review lol.

@Leo Gura sorry this is off topic but I tried emailing you for an interview/podcast on my channel and it didn't manage to send. There are no limits to how deep we can get in our discussion of God, psychedelics, mysticism, the scientific paradigm etc. I feel we are both coming at all this from a similar angle and I have had profound awakenings myself that will allow me to channel your insights better than previous podcast appearances you have been on. Let me know how to contact you to arrange a date. My audience is very interested in having you on.

I think sex does actually lose a bit of its excitement once it’s easy to get. Especially once you’re married too. You can be married to a beautiful woman like I am and the sex becomes less exciting. Because usually what drives us, novelty and mystery, sorta deflates some when you get married. Your love evolves more into family love. In order to keep the spark you have to sort of keep working at it and putting some energy into keeping it novel and also opening yourself to more love based forms of sex over passion. Having tons of different women can keep the intrigue and novelty going and can be very exciting but the issue is it’s largely driven by hormones and beliefs we were told that we need more women or else we ar missing out. When you see through this belief and your hormones age out a bit sex doesn’t matter as much. And sometimes this is a bit of a grieving process or sitting with fomo beliefs and beliefs about lack how you believe you need more sex to be whole. Kids aren’t just about survival. It’s about being the creator in human form. And creation = love. So having kids consciously is a form of conscious love and creation. So kids aren’t not just about survival but anything that exists in reality will have responsibilities and yeah if you do not want to be responsible for kids and their wellbeing and upbringing (which can take a lot of time and energy and material resource which could be devoted to other things) then deciding not to have children isn’t a bad idea. I don’t believe you need to have kids in order to live a good and fulfilling life where you walk an authentic path and meet destiny. I just offer another perspective on them. Kids aren’t just an appendage. A lot of people grow a lot in heart from having kids.

Some people are more idea heavy and others are more experience heavy. It is good when you can see this and not limit artistry to one vs. the other.

It seems like you’re talking about an absolute being that’s already what you are absolutely. But then you seem to add that for absolute being to know it’s absolute being, there needs to be this relative human conceptual frame that appears within what is already absolute being that can then open itself up to the absolute being that it already is. And it’s this rather weird way of framing absolute being that you are using that I’m finding difficult to understand in many of your posts on this subject, it just comes across as being contradictory, even as you are stating there’s a complete absence of contradiction within the way you describe this. When you say it’s not necessary to define anything as a dream or unreal or empty, isn’t that just all inclusive of absolute being anyway, whether there’s definitions or not, nothing is going to change the fact that absolute being is all there ever is was and ever will be anyway, so I don’t understand why you seem to feel the need to correct all the different descriptive dialogs that arise when discussing this subject of absolute being. -
Anyone here have any of their old courses or were part of the war room or followed his twitter back in 2017? I remember seeing his twitter back in 2017 and he basically was bragging about being a human trafficker in Romania running sex cam rooms. He wrote about it so extensively and prolifically online and bragged about raping and forcing Romanian women to cam for him against their will. He shared so much of it it’s impossible to scrub from the internet but I remember seeing him in 2017 and he was trying to align with the pick up community and sell courses to them. He even has an interview with the PUA that Leo collaborated with lol.
