  2. My interests are simply elsewhere. I am trying to transcend survival, not to drive myself deeper into it. Having kids means doubling down on survival for 20+ years. That's not what I want.

  3. how much does IQ matter

    Leo Gura replied to Ramanujan's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Way more difference than that! People with IQs below 80 are not even allowed to serve in the military. They would cause more harm than good. 80 IQ is near disorder level. Such a person will not succeed in academia. It is very important in life to align your life to your strengths, rather than trying to push your weaknesses. An 80 IQ person is wasting time in academia, but could excel in other fields.

    I really dont think so, but i could be biased because i never saw a math example and thought i could never learn that. You think there is that much difference in two individuals brains? I mean of course there are very different brains, but in my book a regular brain thats capable of walking is capable of rocket science too. It all comes down to psychology and opportunity.
  5. Yes I do, openly since February 25, 2026, according to my journal. And nope, it’s not too personal! Suppressing and denying it is what killed me, so it is not worth pretending and keeping to myself/private anymore. Thank you for asking
  6. But that is a sample of one. You don't know how that scales across all the diseases and disorders that exist. Try to be openminded that your ways will not work for everyone.
  7. 99% of this is just going out. There’s a girl out there waiting for you. We are programmed to be into each other. A lot of the work is done for you at birth.

  9. New Chapter in My Life: Habits and Disciplines

    Spiritual Warrior replied to Spiritual Warrior's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    Habits & Disciplines Journey Entry #175 ~ Thu Jul 23 '26 It feels really good to knock these habits out. I'm still feeling a lot of conflicting emotions right now, going through a lot of emotional baggage. I feel as though I have no control over these things, events and circumstances just trigger me and the only thing I have control over is how I deal with it. At the end of the day I don't want to be mad at anyone. I want to be able to trigger a psycho mode while working out or a hyper focused mode while dancing, but I never want to be pissed at anyone, this is unresourceful and frankly not healthy for your body. The people in my life are fabrications in my mind. There are real entities, but they do not have an inherent Truth behind them. The truth is what you make it in terms of them. These people are floating balls of consciousness. Consciousness is all around you. I dont actually see this in my present experience but I can see that this is what the spiritual teachers are pointing me towards. With all of these anthropological books that I've read ( A Separate reality, The Theory of Everything, etc.) in which the person is having outer body experiences, Ive started to take a look at dreams in a different way. Am I entering a separate reality while sleeping or is this just a construct inside of my own mind? That's the other thing, how do I know if something is a mental construct or if it is a real tangible insight into the future? What is the difference in the feeling of it? The people in my life are awesome but they trigger me sometimes. I sometimes feel like I have no idea what I'm talking about in terms of dancing and that I have nothing to offer and that I suck at my job. That's how I felt yesterday. I was questioning everything that I was doing and felt like I sucked at everything. I haven't felt like that in a while but nonetheless, I did. Daily goals: Shower: 3 Groom hair: 3 Brush teeth: 3 Floss: 3 Make bed: 2 Meditate: 2 No porn: 3 No ejaculation: 3 Eat 150 g of protein: 2 No electronics after 11pm: 1 Weekly goals: Workout 3x: 0 Give yourself a haircut: 0 Meal prep 2x a week: 0 Do laundry: 0

  11. Because I’ve experienced what the body is capable of when you stop interfering with it. I’m not saying this from theory alone. I’ve gone through the process and seen changes physically, mentally, and spiritually. The body has a level of intelligence that we underestimate. Dry fasting creates the conditions where the body can focus completely on repair and restoration. I believe the reason it works so deeply is because the body already knows how to heal. We just constantly interrupt that process. Of course, everyone has to discover this for themselves. I can only share what I’ve experienced and what I believe to be true. Ask yourself why Jesus, Buddha, and many enlightened people throughout history fasted so deeply. Maybe there is something about fasting that goes beyond what we currently understand. The good news is that the answer is not something outside of you. The body already carries the intelligence and ability to restore itself. Fasting is simply a way of allowing that process to happen.
  12. I feel like so many of you here are missing the point of the thread. This post is about the art of flirting at the highest level. I'm not saying you can't get girls without doing what I outlined. What I am saying is that you will have more CONSISTENTLY positive responses and engagement with the person of your fancy if you apply the above principles. The issue I see here is that a lot of you guys are trying to maintain your sense of being "good enough" that you are unable to see information that challenges your idea of competence. Every guy wants to think that "just being yourself" and keeping it "simple" and "not overthinking it" is the way to go, because it worked for them or someone they knew once or twice in their 30 years of living. That's not good dating advice. What I'm advocating here is the type of flirting and skillset that gets you women consistently. Its the type of skillset that if we were at a bar together, you could instantly apply and get results. But it takes practise. Intelligent practise. But most of you here don't even go out, let alone approach women you genuinely are excited about on a regular basis. Even worse, when you do, you don't treat it as something you can improve on and that keeps you stuck for life. But hey, at least you can feel "good enough."

  14. how much does IQ matter

    Leo Gura replied to Ramanujan's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    That is way too optimistic. Rocket level math is hard for me to do, and my IQ is well over 100.
  15. @Raze Nah man. Some women aren’t engaged at first. The girl who hugged me was face down in her phone eating breakfast before she gave me a hug 5 minutes after asking her if she was a painter (she was a physicist) Just opening the conversation brought in new energy. She was really grateful someone started talking to her. You are not seeking validation but using social intelligence. You want to be gauging her interest. The less interest the less you really need to invest. You also want to get to know her. Does she excite you? Is she interesting? Would you like to spend time with her? Does her facial expression and voice turn you on? You don’t need to know what you will talk about. You just talk and the about comes naturally. Women aren’t looking for a point. The point is in the talking. There isn’t that much people meet for the first time say… haven’t you noticed this? If you like her, and there is possibility of going somewhere, or getting her number or getting coffee, you ask her. If she’s single or interested she will say yes. I’ve done this many times too. But, also, if she has a boyfriend or she’s travelling and you know you won’t speak again… you can just enjoy talking to her for a bit. She might even give you a hug even if she has a boyfriend. What I said says everything about trust and investment. You are engaging her, building trust rapidly, and if you two have a vibe you investment by trying to hangout more. Why not?

  16. How To Optimize Cognition

    Asayake replied to BlessedLion's topic in Health, Fitness, Nutrition, Supplements

    freeing yourself from karma. if you do morally corrupt things such as lying, exploiting others or self interested things such as eating unhealthy food because it serves your personal pleasure in the moment not only will it weigh on your conscience which will interrupt your peace of mind, it will also create future consequences that you have to deal with such as managing lies when they resurface far later, or facing health problem because of food choices. This is a clutter to the mind. So doing the right thing and being focused on pure action without self interested intent prevents future mental baggage. For example if you work on a business and you're overly focused on the outcome of the business that will occupy your mind a lot and stir up emotion once the outcome is not achieved. Instead pure doing is liberating to the mind!

    I would argue that even an 80 IQ guy could be capable of doing rocket science level math if given the opportunity and he would be passionate about learning it. His psychology would be a much more influential factor than his IQ. If he sat through school lagging behind in math class, his belief that they cant do math would never let them get good at it. His mind would give up, but not because ultimately he isnt capable enough.

  18. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

    Leo Gura replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    It's worth exploring, but at this point I don't see how.
  19. - You are filtering for women who are more aggressive, some women are shy - You are excluding women who aren’t engaged at first - Fixating on her reactions will make you seek validation from them and crash your state if you don’t get them - Women don’t usually lead, this says nothing about moving things forward - Talk about what? Why are you talking to her? She won’t know what the point is. - This says nothing about trust, investment
  20. Who is generating the realities?
  21. Sure but there are still rats with rat consciousness. You could realize that being is unlimited, but this doesn't means that you as a form is the only form that exist.
  22. The Ego Can Fade. But the Absolute Self Remains. The Absolute self is beyond the ego’s limited identification. It is timeless and independent of any external relation, unlike the ego which is bound to experience.
  23. wish more people were self aware of how much they are all generating realities.
  24. @Alexop This is so true. and when she looks at you and you think she is into you. Go talk to her! She’s wants you too. And if it doesn’t work out, try again with someone else. I feel like if you have some experience with women you can read her eyes… A lot of girls like to talk to people. You can also stop trying to “pick up” and instead you can try to connect, and make her day. If it’s on, you’ll know with 10 seconds.
  25. Don´t over-complicate it. Just show up in places where you physically meet the women you desire. -Have fun -smile -show confidence and leadership, healthy masculinity. Send a vibe of: You can relax in you feminine side, I will handle it. Don´t fake it! Women sense role palying easily. This behaviour takes years to be embodied and not role played. -show competence (for ex. dance skills if it is a social dance meeting) -tell jokes -ask emotionally stimulating, non-booring questions and open interesting conversations. ex: what was the most boring thing you expereinced this week? instead of: what do you work? Sooo many dudes are so fuking boring. This can give you cutting edge advantage. -dress nicely! So may dudes dress like their mother picked the clothes for them in the morning. DO all these and the woman who is ready to date and is vibing with you will pick you. It is soo easy to diferentiate from 90% of dudes these days, they are so bad at the above... GL!
  26. @Zenterus I like the vibe, frame and body language. That’s pretty much it. Be chill, have fun. Respect her, but be penetrating too. Man to woman.
