  1. Past hour
  2. You should make a thread similar to @Olaf and make it your month long quest to get laid. I think 30 days should be enough to find a beautiful lady willing to share your bed. Take my advice and get on dating apps and you should be able to schedule 5-6 dates in a month and one of them is pretty likely to be DTF. Then make songs about getting laid like a lot of rappers do and profit. Setting sail to lose oneself against the warm, sun-drenched silk of her shores.
  3. Why will it cause a massive amount of suffering? The Amish today choose to live without technology and think it's a better way of life. They could be right but I'm not joining them anytime soon. The key concept IMO, is giving people choice. If you raise the floor and provide people food and housing then some of them will choose to live a life of leisure and not provide any value to the state. Some others will spend their life building unthinkable technologies with their free time. If AI and robotics can allow us to support both types of people on a global scale, and I think it will, the next few hundred years of human evolution is looking unbelievably bright.
  4. Couple years ago I read Om Swami's book "If Truth Be Told", and it affected me in a very deep way. I just stumbled upon a book that he wrote last year that I want to share, where he documents his sadhana in Himalayas in great detail, he describes his routines, techniques, obstacles, experiences, realizations, and much more. It was an amazing read, for those who've read the autobiography and wanted to know more about what he actually did in those thirteen months, don't miss reading this one. It is very inspiring. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/221033478-thirteen-months-in-the-himalayas

  5. Your Favorite Psychedelic

    Nemra replied to Nemra's topic in Psychedelics

    Things are not what they seem. 😁
  6. Full material abudance will be so bad for the collective psychological health though. Basically everybody will be rich or at least taken care off materially so what will they do with their life. It will cause hedonism on a massive scale, insane amount of suffering but from it awakening will blossom like a rose on a heap of shit. It will be end times of the old paradigm.

  7. Going Crazy

    d i e g o replied to Zenterus's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Pretty solid advice here already. A few things I’d add from my own experience: I’ve been self-employed for about five years now. Things are going well, but the hustle is very real. Especially in the early years, I often became quite anxious because productivity never really left my mind. At times, I felt like I was pushing myself into pretty unhealthy territory. Looking back, I barely have any clear memories of some of those years because I was constantly focused on the next task. A few things that have helped me: Pursue some form of art. I started producing music, which had been something I wanted to do for more than 15 years. In a way, it scratches a similar itch to gaming: you can completely immerse yourself in it, but afterwards you have something you created that you can listen to, improve, and be proud of. I find that incredibly fulfilling. It also gives all that restlessness somewhere to go that has absolutely nothing to do with work or productivity. Find a sport that is immersive enough to force you into the present moment. For me, that’s paragliding, some martial arts every now and then, and downhill mountain biking. Activities that require so much focus that there simply isn’t much mental bandwidth left for worrying about work. You also have to deal with real, immediate physical risks, which can put a lot of the imaginary “danger scenarios” your brain creates around work into perspective. Accept that there will always be more work to do. This was probably the biggest one for me. Don’t try to finish everything so that you can finally “earn” your free time. If you’re self-employed, there will always be another email, another idea, another task, another opportunity. The work is never truly finished. At some point, you have to decide that you’re done for the day even though there is still work left.
  8. @something_else Bro you seem to be misunderstanding the fact that as a 23 years old virgin, i need a strategy to get laid. I can't just make friends and hope to get laid somehow by making friends. Lmao, i'll have a group of 10 or 15 friends, how many attractive women will there be, and what are the chances i'll sleep with one of them, close to zero. You need massive action taking to change the situation, i can't just wait for hope, it won't work.

  9. I have two options.

    Stop viewing social circle as a distinct pickup skill, or as a tool to get laid. There is 'social circle game' and there is 'making friends and having a social life'. You want the latter. Stop putting your energy into cold approach, if it's not working for you after 2500 approaches then it's not probably not going to work at all. Go make some new friends instead. It's pretty easy, especially in university. Having a good group of friends significantly increases your self esteem and confidence. It makes you much more attractive. It exposes you to tons of cool new people (men and women) through parties and events. It will also just make you enjoy your life in university much more. You want to be meeting people mostly organically instead of entirely through cold approach, I promise you it will work so much better for you.
  10. @Carl-Richard You’re right that Western theorists often confuse temporary spiritual states with actual ego stages, but using that to invalidate Stage Turquoise is an intellectual blunder. Yellow’s trap is over-intellectualization. At Yellow, you’re the detached engineer standing outside the machine, mapping out levers and feedback loops. It’s competent, but it’s still fundamentally mental and mechanical. Turquoise isn’t just rediscovering ancient Eastern mysticism or New Age vibes; it solves Yellow's fatal flaw. It takes all that complex systems thinking and actually embodies it—moving from viewing reality as an engineered mechanism you analyze, to realizing you are a living cell inside the organism itself.

  11. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

    I don’t think it’s possible to realize God from meditation alone of purely strict meditation. I think contemplation is definitely needed along with psychedelics.
  12. Me either, tbh. I have such experiences many times, but it still freaks me the fuck out and I run away out of fear. Lowering the intensity and gradually increasing it has been fruitful. And being consistent with tripping even when I don’t want to do it. It’s work, not recreational BS. This is where conservatives are right to make cannabis a serious medical tool, not a fun gimmick to avoid responsibility. How could such an amazing tool be used for such good and for such foolishness?! I always treated this medicine with respect and I hate to see it being used irresponsibly.
  13. That was beautiful to listen to, thank you. Earlier today I felt to experiment, and listen to one of Leo's God realization videos again after a long time. It was very magical. Everything feels so similar now. Feeling love everywhere. I sometimes wonder why the radical nondualists hesitate to use the word God.

  16. @LordFall For now my priority is to get a job to be able to lose my virginity. Then i want to focus on my art/rap for a bit.

    @Leo Gura Your blog post about Awakening & Meditation was a good one. You say meditation is like being brain dead and being 100% present. Any thought is a distraction from presence. I just wondered what role contemplation plays in understanding God? Isn’t contemplation the main method for realizing God and Truth? Contemplation is simply direct questioning of the present moment to derive insight, understanding, and truth. Meditation is thoughtless and there is nothing intelligent about that. I meditated for 5 hours straight of breath-awareness and got nothing out of it. My mind naturally loves to contemplate, so I think contemplation for me is the best tool. That’s why I resonate with Peter Ralston because he teaches contemplation as the main path to awakening. I think meditation can be good, but long-term meditation I think has its consequences. There is a certain limit where meditation stops benefitting you, and contemplation typically is a much more in-depth process. I think balancing concentration meditation and contemplation meditation might be the best practice. Contemplation I think yields greater insight and clarity than meditation, whereas meditation I think does better with developing discipline, concentration, equanimity, and tranquility. Like when you are bored out of your mind from meditating, that is a great opportunity to start contemplating boredom. Is contemplation a distraction from God?

  19. We can riff on non-leo vids too here, right? im tryina bring complements to the discussion, instead of directly revealing all of the gems out there in his playlist (thats how i feel) E.g., im lookin for a vid on the Exegesis of the soul, and granted, this might not be the best way to depict this alas its an idea that yous can investigate, which could lead towards more ideas... i mean, its more of a beginning description, of a perpetual crescendo ~ in more of the sense of a large concerto context... oh nm u kno wat im sayin... its like an outline of the Soul, however that topic of the Soul has too many branches, for starters, like you could go down any number of roads that have Soul as the root ancestor in other words. P.s. i feel compliments are what literally give rise to interest and intrigue, that dynamism-of-choice -thing, where its like "how do all these ideas connect?"
  20. Well I find it easier to play my life in sections instead of all at once. What your plan for 2027 overall? What about Q4-2026? When do these decisions about jobs and signing up for university courses need to be made?
  21. Except this is your gut feeling and not fully based in reality. Of course the human tendency towards selfishness is worth considering but post scarcity has been baked into AI from the start. People have been writing books theorizing on the economic conditions that will come after AI/robots are able to labor for us for over 50 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-Scarcity_Anarchism There are UBI movements being passed through legislative assemblies all around the world right now. This one Bill S-206 is being reviewed by the Canadian Senate as we speak. https://www.ubiworks.ca/guaranteed-livable-basic-income We should not make UBI our personal life strategy for the next 10 years but if we mean a general trend that humanity is going towards, seems more than likely that it'll be the state of most global economies in 20 years.
