Yeah, probably a sucky Life Purpose.

If you really want to succeed in today's society, it is detrimental to study sociopaths and functional psychopaths. They embody traits that can make you millions of dollars. Crazy, huh? But at what cost...

Whenever I speak my mind and get a pure conscience I feel an even bigger inpurity because I start to believe that I am not evil anymore.

That's normal; it's an evolutionary mechanism implanted deep within the human psyche. You have to be careful about trying to erase this with spirituality, because you'd be doing what's called spiritual bypassing: creating a spiritual ego that's more fragile, false, and unbearable than the previous one. As Jesus said, "Render unto God the things that are God's, and unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's." It's necessary to satisfy that part of your psyche that tells you, "You're not enough." It's because you have to do a work in yourself; you must improve, work, move forward, give your best. Then comes spirituality. Thats life, no shortcuts. If you don't fight you are dead, even it seems that you are alive. In the other hand, mushrooms are great, every trip is useful, at least for me -
45 min meditation today as well. Very deep and nice concentration.

Yup, I have been addicted to caffeine, nicotine, ADHD meds and cannabis. Also sleeping to little and constantly putting preassure on myself to perform. To give myself some grace and rest is probably the most productive thing I can do long term (not to mention for my creativity and social connection). I would like to hear a bit more of your situation if you dont mind sharing. When you said you slept for 2 years what did that look like in practice? I get its a exaggeration ofc, but I would like to hear how your life was before / after and how you actually managed to rest. -

Anyone can easily understand the logic of spirituality. Reality exists. You exist. Therefore, you are reality in a concrete form. Form begins and ends, but reality does not. Therefore, if you perceive yourself as that which exists in a form, and not as a separate form, then death is the end of form, not the end of what you truly are. The problem is that it's not enough to simply understand this; you really have to open your perspective to what reality is, and this is difficult because form is so all-consuming. -

I would say that the initial motivation is almost always: my life is largely suffering, and I also see that I'm going to die in the future, and this is something very strange that I can't even consider real. One day you read a book and some things resonate with you; besides, these spiritual people tell you that the end of suffering is near, and that death can be transcendended. It sounds interesting enough to try to understand to what extent there's any truth in all of it. Then, the mind is twisted and the traps of the ego are difficult to avoid; only instinct will make you see them. -
I relate to this immensely. In the past, I've gone YEARS without any success with women whatsoever, this was EXTREMELY painful and I felt like I was stuck at the bottom of a 30 foot hole, it was dark down there and I had no idea how to get out. I have gotten much better as I have had some success over the past couple of years. I still have much more to learn but God damn that period of my life was one of the most frustrating and unsatisfying times of my life. I feel for you but there is a way out of the hole. Try to find some hope, you have overcome so many challenges in your life, this is just another challenge that you WILL overcome.

Habits & Disciplines journey entry #129 I would like to start being VERY open to criticism. My boss has recently been taking a lot of shots at me, calling me out for not listening, for not handling situations well, etc. my M.O. is to get triggered by this and get sad or mad at her for it, but I want to flip that on its head and become a man that is dispassionate and detached from the emotion. This means that he can look her in the eyes and take the criticism on and learn and grow from it. That is what I want. The other thing that I am realizing that is a positive thing albeit highlighting a negative within myself, is I am so sick of having such selfish thoughts, thinking about myself, "ohhh woe is me, poor me, why can't I get this, why does she get that and I don't, what about me, me, me, me. "Seriously, I feel like I'm a spoiled little brat inside of my own head. It's ridiculous. The funny thing is when I'm in this selfish, victim state, I am not happy, when I am thinking of others and providing value to OTHERS, I am happy, I am fulfilled, I know that I am doing Good. Lastly, let's talk about my dance partner real quick. Last night, I had dance practice with her and I had a cool insight. I get there and we're supposed to start practicing, but her and her co workers were all having fun performing their routines so I sat there and watched. I noticed that I was unable to be truly happy and proud for what they came up with. As they are strutting their stuff, all I can do is think "what about me? I want to perform something like that? When am I going to get to do that? And when am I going to get to spend time with my dance partner?" As you can see, these thoughts are all selfish, why can't I sit back and enjoy the show and hard work that these people put in? And why am I so possessive over my dance partners' time? I am constantly thinking about myself, how this or that serves me. This is annoying to me now as I want to transcend this for something higher, much higher. It's just not enjoyable to me anymore, neither is the getting triggered on an emotional level and feeling sorry for myself, neither headspace is enjoyable and I want to be more open towards Truth or Love. Opening up about my romantic feelings towards her was a great step in the right direction. I told her something that was True and of course she took it very well, nothing bad came about and now I feel so free. I still have the feelings for her but I am at peace with it, I understand that I can't have her and that's okay. I was annoyed with her at one point during the practice because I'm watching them do their routines, then she went to the bathroom for what felt like 10 minutes but it was probably 5, then she sat back down at the table and started texting. I let this slide for about 30 seconds, then I was like "can we start?" She said yes but she continues to text. Then I was like "okay, come on, you're pissing me off." Then she became visibly off emotionally, and I tried to get her to open up about it but she refused. We started dancing and things got better but she was acting weirder than usual. I am proud that I am attempting to be True to myself and creating an honest and direct communication channel which started with the opening up about the romantic feelings towards her. Nice job on that, this is a good upgrade to your dance partnership, will she take on the communication channel, we will just have to wait and see. One more thing, I really need to get a second job, I cannot go on like this without another form of income, I just can't. My boss told me that in this career that I'm in, there are 5 years of "eating shit," years 5-7 you're "comfortable,' then 7+ years you should be doing well and it should get better and better from there. Right now, I am at about 2.6 years in of eating shit, so halfway point of the shit eating. 3.10.26 Morning Routine: Make bed: 2 Journal: 128 Brush teeth streak: 128 Floss streak: 0 Shower streak: 102 Meditation streak: 11 Approaching women visualization: 2 Abundance of sex affirmation: 2 Funniness affirmation: 10 Independent of opinions of others affirmation: 10 Free talk exercise: 10 Night time routine goals: Brush teeth streak: 3 Wash face streak: 3 No electronics before bed: 0 "Whole day" goals: No porn: 3 Eat 150 g of protein streak: 0 No alcohol streak: 131 Total number of women cold approached: 5

For introspection, LSD or DMT. For fun and building connections with other people, MDMA.

If by transcend you mean something that is compatible with their view but provide a more holistic picture, then no. For instance: Under some of their views mystical union is participation in God, not identity with God. They believe the human person remains a person even in union with God. But in any case, even if the were the case that all mystics agreed on the same set of facts , you still can have disagreements about levels (which one is deeper compared to the other ). But Im not convinced that there is an agreement on the facts, and it isn't just that they wouldn't categorize mickey mouse the same way as you do, some of them wouldnt even consider mickey mouse as something legit that needs to be put on a level hierarchy and some of them would reject that there is even a hierarchy in the firstplace. Thats not your conclusion, your conclusion is that you are correct. Given your epistemology you will never know, because all you know is your current perspective about depth that can be undermined at any given moment by a deeper awakening later. Your very idea about how much depth your insight have is depended on a comparative epistemology that can be undermined later. You never know whether your next insight will completely restructure and reorder your hierarchy of previous insights. You have 0 clue about the level of depth others have, you make inferences based on your awakenings, but you have 0 clue whether yours is deeper or theirs. The fact that you interpret it as "best" shows how you think about this question. You treat it as a race, where you can be better than others rather than just treat it as an epistemic question related to the issue about investigating fundamental truths about reality. Comparative questions are easy to answer once the conditions are agreed upon and set by which we can compare things and if it is the case that we have access to the variables that contain information about said conditions. Here you have an issue with agreeing on the conditions (about what deeper even means) and then you have a further issue (that you dont have, when it comes to the math question) - namely, that you dont have access to the info about the conditions (you have no direct access to who had what awakening and who has what level of insight) ----- None of this necessarily undermines your claims about reality, the purpose of this whole thing is to question your certainty in your claims and specifically in the idea that you got it more right than other mystics. -
Ha . Yal have no idea what's coming April 1st. I am excited for you. Use the information as implied however you wish. It's my last post for at least a few months so its purely contribution, I have already made peace with any outcomes from it as long as its to benefit people as a whole that's what's most important for me. I've innovated across so many axes now concerning the subject of meaning, its truly life changing after integration. I'll give three final questions to ponder on before the release: Where does nervous system state regulation belong in the stack: before/after meaning, before/after planning, before/after interacting with environments relative to action towards goals? Fill in these gaps, it will make a meaningful difference to your actions, reactions and routines. Lastly, based on how these are ordered, where does most of society tend to fall based on standard cultural social conditioning? And which is the best way to evoke conformity for example as one tiny but perhaps maybe a clue that's too revealing heh, before or after meaning? It's actually a trick question, take your time with it, its nuanced. Wow, I really achieved my goal of using these monthly projects to radically grow myself from month to month far, far further than I could ever have imagined. Find your own niche that helps you achieve this as well in a way that best uniquely services you. Just remember where I started, simply saying publicly, "I don't understand Meaning." Best wishes, stay rockin. And good luck.

Exactly. You can hate on Bryan Johnson for selling snake oil and being corrupt, but at least we can agree that he is healthy. I’m looking forward to seeing what comes out of this experiment. Who knows, maybe in a body that is 100% metabolically healthy, “pouring jet fuel” could have some interesting beneficial effects.

Forced at gunpoint, I'd have to pick LSD-25. It's the most versatile and crazy potent, provided you get it pure & accurately dosed, which is a rarity these days. But even then some important dimensions of Consciousness would partly remain locked away, unless I could cheat by learning so much chemistry and accessing infinite intelligence that I'd invent a substance that somehow targets several neurotransmitters at once or a whole new receptor hitherto unheard of, and switch to it. Just one is too limited; I recently ran a similar scenario with 10 psychoactives, not only psychedelics. That gets more interesting. But most people probably haven't even tried 10 different psychedelics yet and never will.

yeah i mean there are different degrees to this. are we sending 5-year-olds up our chimneys or do we hand them kid-safe knives to help cut some vegetables while supervised by mum? with the former being exploitative and potentially fatal, and the latter being a reasonable way of including children, boosting their confidence, and preparing them to become functioning members of a healthy, conscious society. i don't really understand your comment. i didn't mean to say anything remotely offensive. in fact, quite the opposite. what i was trying to say is: yes, we should find ways to include children in "normal" household tasks to an age-appropriate degree, while being conscious of the things that do and do not bolster their well-being - maximising the former and minimising the latter. -

Nice. Well said IMO -
True. Culture war is largely algorithmic. It's more like a lack of trust in institutions. Certain progressives policies, like for example immigration, where implemented without broad consent from the populace. That creates a sense that politics is opaque and not working in your interests, and is a bipartisan feeling in my opinion, but probably stronger among many conservatives. The appeal of authoritarianism is that it gives voters a sense of agency. When MAGA sees protesters getting shot by ICE it's like the other shoe dropping for them. Note that Trump and his voters aren't truly conservative by definition because he's undermining institutions and democracy as a whole. They are in fact revolutionary. By definition the opposite of conservative. Reactionaries are probably also largely algorithmic in nature, but radical feminists have existed from the very start.
