Totally, It wasn't a recommendation to do or not do anything in particular, but I can understand how it might sound that way. It's more like a: do whatever you want without the additional stress/concern of it being inherently important message. It's not necessarily a: nothing is important, so turn into a depressed, fat, couch potato, although that would be perfectly fine also message. -
@integral I dont even necessarily believe in self development very much. I think its about removing all the excess BS and striving, till there is nothing left but your essence. I think a lot of people have that. Like their own signature. Irrespective of how unglamourous what remains is. Self acceptance so deep and pervasive that all striving and seeking ends. Just at peace with yourself. I think from here a better life will flow to you anyways and it might not necessarily be a crazy social life, dating, millionaire status. I see a lot of people go for the end result, the outcome and the more I get to know them, the less I want to be like them. In fact, I feel bad. Then there's guys that dont have any of those high status indicators or lifestyle but they have real friendship and family -- loved ones. I think its important to understand what type of game we're playing.

@bazera Yeah, they should know about each other. It would prob be best to have a main wife, and then other girlfriends on the side. There are plenty of women out there who are ok with that. But its all about frame. She'd have to know who you are and what you're about. If you're monogamous initially then try to open it after to see other women, it will backfire badly. The proper frame and context has to be from the start before you get serious time investment. And in terms of managing , i'd just say see each girl once a week. Typically though you should always let her be the one to future pace. as in "where is this going?, what are we?" etc. then you can lay it out as best as you can while aiming to be considerate for her emotional state as well. Because at the same time you don't want to blatantly make them feel used. There are different types of relationships, all defined by the level of time investment. For example , a fuckbuddy is someone you meet once a week just for sex, you dont go out on dates (besides the initial meet if necessary), and you could have other girls to "date" where you might do other things with them outside the bedroom. And then you have serious time investment with a woman that you live with essentially (same thing as marriage minus the contract). as a side note: I watched a video the other day that explained very well that when you ask a guy "what do you have to do to make women attracted to you?" its referring to how to get them to want to have sex with you. where as if that same exact question was asked to a woman "what makes you attracted to a man?" its referring to what makes the best husband/provider. Women do not tell you upfront what makes them want to fuck a guy, they tell you what will make the best husband/father/provider. And those two things are completely opposite. The guys they want to fuck fast versus make him wait comes down to how controllable he is and how many other options he has. Not morality. The more options you have as a man the more indifferent you naturally are, making them want to do sex faster because he can go off with someone else, where the less options you have, the more compliant you are to her demands ,etc. pressing the make him wait button. But of course there is a spectrum, some women have rules before they have sex with a guy, so it really depends, but typically thats how it goes. More compliance = make him wait, less compliance = give him sex. Women are not sexually attracted to a man's morality whatsoever . they will not get horny because you are "a good person". But they are attracted to that for a husband/provider

@Breakingthewall Exactly. Regardless of how awake someone is, its no excuse to throw away life because its just a temporary experience. In fact I'd argue the more things you do, the more things you accomplish /create/ build/ experience, while simultaneously being awakened to the god in you, the better. A big trap would be to do all these things and not be awakened, confusing material success for true achievement. So in a way, its actually both thats needed , the material side , and the awakened side, and using them in conjunction. It's basically like, have/do/be all the things you want as a human but realize you are also god for eternity at the same time. That way you can enjoy the the dream to its fullest, not necessarily "attaching" to all the things but having/doing them for the sake of the experience itself and enjoying them - Yesterday

Even only caring about yourself, the better everyone else in the world is the better you will be. This is just a matter of entering this information into the majority of the population. I think you can see Scandinavian countries cooperating at the national level. Like I said though, we're talking about maybe 1,000 years. Slowly everyone would get their needs met, which greatly reduces crime and conflict, and then morals and ethics would need to be hammered into the global psyche, moral preaching Wokies abounding. -

I've met with people in person that is why I am asking you. You remind me of someone but I am not sure. You are totally anonymous and also a moderator on here. You are not revealing anything about yourself or who you are. But I have interacted with you for years now and I wonder. I don't want to say who I think you are. The Unknown Dao. I remember when you joined my Discord. That was many years ago now. People have come to meet with me over the years. I'm not always sure who I am dealing with on here.

Lol that's a koan right there. Have you ever met this Joseph guy in person? I THOUGHT SO!

Have we met in person, I'm not sure.

If you didn't know, then that's something to watch out for. Good thing about opinions - the holder is rather irrelevant.

Your sessions seem reallly long, how much of that 80 minutes do you spend doing pranyama ? I only do 20 to 25, it breaks down to about 10 minute of Nadi shodana and mahamudra and 10 minutes of pranyama , followed by meditation . I find if I do much more pranyama than that it gets trippy / challenging . -

If you want to make up your own reality on social media, at least admit that is what you are doing. -
There is a problem with anonymity with this format. You don't know who you are dealing with. It is a social media construction. This is why when people contact me to meet in person I always say yes. That is supremely valuable. We will go out and do a coffee or dinner in my neighborhood usually. You have to meet people in real life to know them! You have to know who is who. That is not always appreciated.

@UnbornTao The problem I have with your opinion is that I don't know who you are at all.

I actually find these videos great, so maybe we agree to disagree. I wasn't sure whether they are AI or not.
-
Personally, when AI is used this way, I'm out. It takes away any authenticity to the content. It's like a plastic flower, imo.

You don't like it?

@Joseph Maynor AI channel. Same with the monkey channel @Integral shared on another thread.

there is nothing to discuss - there is no you to discuss its just my process of dying i just figured this out! and i cant avoid it.. neither stop it.. basically it has already happened.. im just experiencing it now i was messed up with too many "personalities"... and my illness i cant play anymore!!! . guess .. there is still ego in me... sense of I so.. im still playing! ok now what! wait and see or "the fast way" hmm.. . .i just remembered.. what about the "people" i was supposed to meet? hmm.. . .btw... i never took psychedelics in my life... i guess writing everything and thinking someone is watching ... was helpful its all part of the process! - ego is allways trying to control... wants safety... and allways be part of it.. and give approval! . .

This is a good video on the upsides of doing geo-arbitrage i.e. international living and dating The quality of life that you can get yourself is much higher than in the west.

When the leader of a movement has a self-admitted autistic fixation and that same level of fixation starts to become the normal, that's probably in virtually all cases a sign of an unbalanced society.

I know how I logically arrive at conclusions. I want YOU to answer. How did you arrive the the originally stated conclusion? A rhetorical question doesn't tell me that. I can see you are very, very much avoiding answering by issuing rhetoric in both posts addressing me. If you can't answer, that's fine too. Did you arrive at the conclusion, or did you just take Leo's word as truth without any critical thinking? Since you appealed to Leo's ideas and not your own in one answer, it would be fair to infer you adopted a belief.

Words are limiting here, it's good to discuss some definitions. These are my definitions, defined relative to time, space, and human words: Perceive: A collection of senses, memories, consciousness, feelings, and visions, that occur relative to time. Exist: Whatever is being perceived by you in the current moment. Experience: A memory of a past existance Dream: An experience that is so significantly different compared to another experience, that it is clearly defined against a different time or space construct. Wrong: That which does not serve You within the current moment Choice: The ability you have to experience anything you desire and retain memories of such experiences. You: That which is a combination of your body, your mind, and your environment. Everything: That which cannot be fully described to another relative to time or space, but can only be experienced individually. It can be imagined as simply, Infinity. Real: A word that does not lead to Everything; frequently misused for a materialist paradigm Awoken: That which is Everything, and nothing else. And so I claim that if you are choosing to exist relative to time, by the way I am using the words, it's wrong for you to claim that others do not exist. I'd be interested to see how you define these words, and why you choose to select words that make you feel like life is pointless and meaningless within your dream. I wonder if it's fair to say you've had an experience of being Everything, but you are not Everything right now, therefore you are not alone relative to time either.
