I don't see a future with my family. It has caused me to much trouble to try to get them to understand. They have already crippled the future I wanted I am trying to find a new path. My biggest passion was chess. I wanted to be a professional chess player. The problem is that not only did my family block it, but there is also a problem with how chess grandmasters come to be especially on the top level. Under all cases, top level chess players have supportive families since childhood who provide the structure necessary to actualize their goals. It has never happened that a talented player was undermined by an unsupportive family and somehow reached the top level anyway. This is part of what suggests that the window of opportunity to go where I wanted to go was already closed before I was born. Grandmasters don't come from fathers who traffic children and there hasn't been any top level players ever from this background without a network of support. It isn't pure effort as they seem to believe. The discrepancy in privilege and its implications somewhat sours chess now. I used to believe that my effort was meaningful, but I now see that environment and circumstances matter equally if not more in some cases. I am trying to find an alternative passion. Maybe something completely new. Otherwise, I have lost so much that the only thing left is spirituality. Once we take away everything meaningful to you such as friends, family, career, and so forth, then all you are left with is existence, truth, and consciousness. Spirituality is where I end up when everything else fails. I need to find a way to avoid permanent bitterness in life. I no longer have the same faith and confidence in chess that I once had. I know I like intellectual groups and learning or teaching. I seem to function well in those cases.

Oneness cannot have a point outside of itself. From what I understand, the purpose of human life is entertainment and distraction from Omniscience. Omniscience gets very boring after a while. God gets bored to death being Omniscient and decides to play games with itself by dreaming non-Omniscient states. Why would that be outside of Perfection? Is a video game any less perfect just because you can walk off a cliff? Does every cliff need an invisible fence around it for the world to be perfect? The decisions you make ARE God too. When you manifest something, that is God working through you. Your desires for things IS God. God is all things. God is always selecting whether to appear as this thing or that thing. God has to select to appear as a cat or a dog or a chair, or whatever. You, as a human, also have to select what kinds of things you want or don't want in your life. You building your life is like a microcosm of God building the universe by selecting some things over others.

@NewKidOnTheBlock it is a force upon them. Thats why they pay big money to have them see it. If there was no force being applied advertisements dont mean anything. They have been forced on my since I was a baby. Your entire identity is forced on you by tv and advertisements. You dont even know its happening.

A few things I am learning about day game. First of all, if you get rejected over and over again, it is a you problem. Now, there are a few problems I had that I discovered and have improved my day game. The first one would be the most important one, and that is volume. You need to speak loudly for people to hear you. If they can't hear you, you are not being rejected: you are simply not being heard. Sometimes I almost yell, like on the edge of talking and yelling and actually when they are far away and you almost yell, that is not weird, it is actually safe for them as you are being loud and public, instead of sneaky and private. Remember, loud feels safe, quiet is sneaky and feels unsafe to people. Another thing I did wrong for a long time was approaching way too late. You have to approach them when they are around 5 feet in front of you. Some people approach from the back or the side. I don't like that, and therefore I can't say how to do that. Yet if you approach from the front, you have to approach them early, like when they are 5 feet in front of you. Another thing would be screening. Sometimes you are rejecting people and screening them before you have even approached them, which is fine to do. Yet it can get you too much in your head, so when you are in your head, just get out of it by approaching everyone, girls, guys, it doesn't fucking matter. I do it every time I feel myself getting too much in my head about the screening process before the initial approach. Another thing that helped me a lot is telling them where to stand. Take control from the beginning. Sometimes I start off with a hook and after that telling them where to stand so they don't keep walking, setting the tone that you are the one in control. They are doing you a favor and investing in you instead of you chasing and investing in them. The last thing I would say is your energy. Literally be smiling or just make your state more positive because you are going to get rejected, and you need to remain positive despite the setbacks, which helps you build true confidence. Doing day game should make you start to feel more confident by the hour. If it is a downward spiral of self-attack, you are taking this way too seriously. We are just being social, nothing more, like talking to a neighbor. Oh yeah, and if you make weak eye contact with someone before approaching, like you were blinking, giving a half smile, or whatever, you can already tell they are probably not going to open because you fucked up before you even started. Many times I don't try to make eye contact until the approach itself, meaning when they are about 5 feet in front of me. The last thing I would say is that the easiest way to get into state, at least for me, is to rapid approach in the busiest area of your city. Think of the main shopping street in your area on a busy weekend. You can approach 10 people in one minute, guys, girls, everyone. Don't expect anything from it. Boom, you're in state within a minute or two. Then later on, you can lose that state again by becoming too serious or screening too much about who to approach. When that happens, you can get back into state within a minute by doing what I just said. It is okay to take breaks or look at you're phone for a few mins, make yourself feel comfortable at the street, it is not a race to approach as much as possible, this is only to get into state when you are out of state, sometimes taking a break helps me to get into state too as it is grounding, gets you out of desperation or validation seeking, which is basically the downward spiral of self-attack. Hope this helps someone, and if anyone also has their own advice on day game, let me know. I am happy to hear what you've got. Btw when I get rejected nowadays it is a very polite, "I am sorry I got to go somewhere, but have a great day." This is when you know you are doing well, because now they hear you, they respectfully acknowledge you and if you are very grounded, they respect you and will even reject you with way more respect. So you know you are doing great when they start to acknowledge you and when they politely reject you instead of ignoring your existence, which is probably one of the issues I listed here before.

@Basman this is science. Not entrepreneurship. I am an artist.

@Davino I agree. I’ve also seen plenty of schizophrenic homeless people that have that spiritual gaze like Osho or other such people so it is interesting to see those parallels and energetic changes that most normies do not have. It can lead this dysfunction as you said i spent from age 16-20 really getting serious and taking school very seriously then my entire 20s pushing too much into spirituality and now I’m constantly struggling. So you are right it can undermine the foundation and it’s harder to build it up without the safety nets of your early 20s. You take it for granted when you’re young and making it happen for you is 10x harder if you missed it earlier on in most cases

You have entrepreneur mind. You approach art from a largely entrepreneurial perspective. This is not how artists think. I dislike how AI deludes non-artistic tech bros and business dudes to think they are artists when they can low effort make a product all of a sudden.

yeah i also tend to measure my PP. only real men care about their PP. if you want reach deep, you have to have a bigger PP. i love Leo's PP. i've been studying Leo's PP for years. leo's PP changed my life. i came for self-help, stayed for the PP. his PP goes deeper than anyone else's. i wish my PP was as developed as Leo's. i've watched hundreds of hours of Leo's PP. the world needs more of Leo's PP.

Correct. But again, for an extremely hard case, giving them a practice of asking someone for the time or direction, is crucial part of his journey. Did he really need help with time or direction? No.

Sadhus have lived in India since ancient times, where poverty is immense, without working, being fed simply by virtue of being sadhus. Therefore, a sadhu will always tell you that only he possesses wisdom; others do not. toad no, sadhu yes. Simple, I think.

We are oh-so-far from embodying PP, but I won't give up on it.

that sounds good, though. still a little abstract, but i will keep that in mind and try to implement it. i will check out the video, too. -

i think unfortunately the human mind quickly forgets about these things, and then it's back to groundhog day. -
It is not unreasonable to be in denial somewhat about one's own health problems.

i spontaneously mopped the floor just now, if that counts:) yesterday, i participated in a sports event. the event itself was planned, but i would suppose within that context i still made a lot of spontaneous micro-decisions...all the way from riding in the car with strangers to crawling up muddy hills and sliding down into water. mopping the floor felt neutral to positive. participating in the event felt overwhelming, fun, but also stressful. -

Accept anxious thoughts, don't push them away, but don't overly entertain/identity with them either. Recognize their usefulness, and also notice when they become overwhelming or ridiculous. Also getting enough rest, eating healthy and exercising is under-rated Imo -

It's as if he thinks that God is an entity that does things like imagine, and does so for reasons like love or a desire to experience. People says that enlightenment is knowing that you are god dreaming, or that self is illusion, or that reality is a dream. All that are valorations. Structures that the conceptual mind creates. Enlightenment is being open to the nature of reality, that's not knowing the structure of reality Openess could be described as an state, name than being neurotic could be another state -
@Joseph Maynor True but if we compare him to other science communicators, he is the worst and has the worst fanbase. I was shocked when I first heard about his tweets. Man he will never care or stop.

I am on a similar path. Growing by leaps and bounds everyday. Some deceptions left for me to clean to get to truth I imagine, but In every moment possible I am trying to elevate my consciousness. I will get there
