  1. Past hour
  2. for me the amazing life is an healthy life with the possibility to socialize sometimes.
  3. That is not going to happen without heavy manual spiritual practice. The thing you want is so rare and so hard that the work it requires, no one is willing to do. You want the fruits without the work, which is a fantasy. Either get serious about the work or stop wanting the sweet fruits.
  4. Seriously though, we have all had that awkward back and forth about "I will pay, no I will pay. No insist, I will pay." To solve this -- the people I hang with will pay if they invite (including me). Then we don't have to worry about this uncomfortable issue. Unless we agree that we will split, and that is fine too. I do have friends where we have agreed to split the bill and do that. But if I am asking a woman out, I will insist on paying unless she tells me she wants to pay half.
  5. This is not nice. Don't engage with women with a boyfriend like this. Even if they're into it. I'm guilty of this too.
  6. Don't make me laugh. You complain about low-quality content, and yet you have been warned 13 times for exactly that plus trolling and other offences. And then you pass judgment on others. Even Nahm who hardly ever gave out a warning had to warn you for name calling. And now you have the nerve to demand Leo's personal attention as if he was your personal servant? You want to see this forum improve? Leave. .
  7. Those are the exact ideas that drive a human to addiction I was there once I used to have this fairy tale of being high all the time and that I will be happy forever. That’s bullshit.. RUN! You can’t be happy all the time that’s practically impossible. But you can be in peace and that is a big difference. like leo said you have to surrender or you will be addicted forever and you possibly won’t escape your addiction letting aside running your life. Tell me what do you exactly mean by feeling amazing ? We have to debunk this myth together to get you out of addiction before it crawls and grasp you by the palm. these drugs are nasty. I don’t know how many people have ended in misery by consuming them but probably a lot but there could be exceptions of course but there is no guarantee that you will be the exception be careful

  8. Female Friends — A Dilemma

    PsychedelicEagle replied to Zenterus's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    So the challenge is to convey frienship as clearly as possible in the beginning to quickly gauge what the long-term friendship with the person in question will be?
  9. i just want to be able to embrace and love every possibility...to me that is real goodness, having no resistance and rigidity to life
  10. I see where you’re coming from and I think you should lower expectations and focus on yourself maybe. Curate the qualities you enjoyed in those people and try to embody them yourself. You have to consider the concerns Leo would have for some of the zoom calls and meetups. He has already addressed a lot of that and it is reasonable. I understand you want the forum to be a healthier place. So do I. There irony is: the more qualified someone is to do that the less likely they will. Leo is a busy man. He’s not going to have the time to personally coach people here. Emerald and Natasha are both excellent—they also have their own priorities. Also, you may have been trying to imply these two were more practical than spiritual—I’d disagree. I think it’s just another example of the forum/online format being limiting, along with their own responsibilities limiting their time here. + they’re women and a lot of people just waste their time and completely miss their points lol. Nahm made very little sense and was too stubborn to actually teach anything. They also weren’t coach able themselves and tried to harvest half of this forum for their own, if I remember correctly, lol. I believe they helped many here but it was not sustainable for the goals you mentioned in the forum. There are lots of other great people here, though. Many can teach you one thing or another. But to have somebody or multiple somebody’s fulfilling your desires here likely will not happen. There’s no perfect teacher. That’s your job. Maybe you’re already speaking to god-realized people and you just don’t know it.

  11. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

  12. I am now curious what a high value means to you? What is the high value of a man or woman you are looking to connect with platonically? Because value or highness of it is very subjective so I am curious to understand more. Because from the way you describe it seems that you are basically looking for people who have high social status within the dating market? You need to enforce your boundaries then brother. If your intention is truly to be platonic, you need to speak up and if they deny it and behaviour continues, you cut the friendship. But you also need to investigate if platonic connection without any romantic validation is what you are truly seeking.
  13. By the way, with the coffee girl we explicitly agreed that we only want friendship, so the situation with her is doubly confusing.
  14. @Someone here I understood you full well. I don't profess to know Leo's feelings in the slightest, he can correct me if I'm off base. By "conflicted" I meant he himself setting up and participating in Zoom calls and nothing to do with ex member Nahm. He's been at it a long time, and not once has he seriously entertained the idea of meeting folks in person, I just don't see the impetus there, in fact I sense a reluctance. Maybe it's his temperament or maybe he's concerned about other things. I would say Zoom calls are a limited means of gaining improved knowledge if that's what you're after. Pragmatically you could only get about ten people on a call at a time, before it becomes unmanageable. And if it's not going to degenerate into just chit chat, then it needs to be structured, which requires some prior organisation; maybe a topic to talk about, or for callers to line up questions beforehand. It could work if done well, but it would be limited. On the plus side it would improve the forum (if that's the goal) if at least a few of the more regular members got to know each other in person (so to speak). It would reduce the more dick-waving style in the forum, and maybe make people think more clearly before posting - it's harder to behave badly when you've met the person you're trolling or being angry at. I too would like to see the forum improved - I've been here a while - but it's the same with anything, anything could be improved. If you're serious go join a monastery or go study with a master or whatever, a forum isn't going to get you what you want, there's too much member churn and rookie energy to make quality stick.
  15. Yeah, I saw videos of him talking about this before. Crazy thing is that back in the day this would be a blessing but when you actually want friendship it starts to feel like a curse. Also, it's not lost on me how some may interpret this post as subtle bragging. I hope there are those out there that will resonate with this issue.
  16. It was a joke.
  17. I just pull away energetically. I don't call it out because that's just.. tacky and of course the woman will deny it, which will result in an awkward vibe.
  18. @Valach By attractive, I mean overall, not necessarily beauty. It's the equivalent of wanting to be friends with high value men. It's just what I resonate with.
  19. Take it easy. I'm not scared if I was I wouldn't be here. Besides I think he was just concerned about my safety. He's a good guy. All of you here are.
  20. Yes, but the chemistry at first is inaccurate of the actual platonic chemistry you may or may not have later. It's not uncommon that, once the attraction fades, the woman becomes bored of the connection and we no longer share the same vibe that we once did in the beginning. It feels more stale because the underlying intention and expectations were different for both parties.
  21. Why is attractivness of the woman relevant in the friendship for you? What does it have to do with quality of a friendship?
  22. @CARDOZZO I've come to realize that I have a deep need to be a part of a community. I want to be friends with awesome dude and amazing, attractive women, platonically. This is not some scheme to get laid.
  23. i think this is the influence of Leo . I see more and more interviews like this but I l after Leo pioneered the way.
  24. LOL
  25. OMG, truth is the ultimate evidence for solipsism! Anyone who claims that solipsism is false doesn't understand that experience is existence and existence is truth. Non-existence is a category mistake and it only exists by itself in your experience. Why is red red? Because red exists as itself. Red is not an electromagnetic wave. Red is the truth! The logic is beautiful.
  26. That's why you shouldn't be friends with women. The sexual tension will never go away it's just there always. Unless you have gone beyond sexuality which if you did why would you need a female friend anyway?
