  2. Im not sure where I implied that but since you went there you might notice that many cult leaders are wealthy with much healing penis to give and no shortage of credulous marks which seems to be the things they enjoy having and doing and thus, making them happy, at least in the short term. You can't convince me Osho was enjoying the hell out of the ride for a good long while. Why not? Reality is what you make of it and it shows you who you really are so you might as well embrace the destruction if that's what your truly about. Better than trying to run the world and ruin it for everyone else. Piping down a bunch of groupies and paying yourself a nice salary for it isn't real high on my list of worries where personalities are concerned. Its not my place to judge anyway. So long as they leave me alone, Im good.
  4. So I created actualized.org? Nice

  5. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

    What's the pie?
  6. Agree
  7. The justice of the universe may be as simple as at some point you will experience all the suffering that you have inflicted. You will experience it and it will be as real to you as it was to your victims, every agonizing second of it - you reap exactly what you sow. As a bonus on top of that you get the full unadulterated truth about exactly what kind of asshole you are.
  8. You seem to have convictions, and a unique perspective. My concern is your potentially insightful advice is too vague to help him atm. Would be a shame if good advice were missed due to vagueness.
  9. Having a human guru, or spiritual teacher, makes sense otherwise you spend your life spinning your wheels and being tricked by your ego. The problem is finding someone genuine because there are so many fakes. The bigger they are, like Sadhguru, the bigger the fake. That is because they have become popular by attracting large numbers of deeply unconscious people. If you don’t have a guru, you can continue to purify yourself with meditation, yamas, niyamas, etc. until you develop the discernment to differentiate the genuine from the fake. You will immediately see through the Massaros and notice teachers that everyone else ignores.
  10. But not wanting to marry a serial killer is a (sub)conscious choice, coming from the developed frontal cortex, not a hard-wired limbic reflex like a fight or flight response (e.g. tiger attack). In practice, many women are attracted to serial killers. And that's just one example. The point I'm trying to make here is that morality (good and evil) and survival are two distinct things, even if they overlap in complex ways. Survival is hard-wired into us. While morality, on the other hand, is learned, much more flexible and can change. That's why some people are trying to change others into having empathy for certain groups of people, because it's a conscious decision. We never see anyone campaigning for not running away from tigers, because things like that cannot be even questioned by the conscious mind. They are built-in features of being a living organism. While morality isn't.
  11. @Ulax Fill the space in front of you with strength. Its all metaphysics.
  12. Peterson has been a great resource for me when I encountered evil fucked-up people. He could be a good resource in general for you. Just avoid his new stuff. He isn't the same guy these days.
  13. Why would this be blame-shifting?
  14. What actionable advice do you suggest?
  15. Today
  16. I'm doing system by Todd atm. I love the game stuff. But I don't know so much how to go about the general conversational vibing. Any pointers? In the past, I've done self-amusing. But I end up dancing monkey. So I want to move on from it.
  17. Flipping the script is such a wild experience when you first do it.
  18. Hey bros, I love the system by Todd. Reason being that he does phases of game. You basically can say to yourself I need to do X or Y next. I want that but for basic conversational skills. Please can folks help me on this. For example, a 5 stage model of conversation.

  19. Conformity Examples Mega-Thread

    Basman replied to Husseinisdoingfine's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Implying women don't like being sexy. Why do you think women go to the gym in the first place? They aren't camping the hip thrust machine for purely functional reasons.
  20. Oh my god. I'm gonna apply for euthanasia if he gets elected.
  21. @UpperMaster In my life, the only thing that has ever helped me be less needy is abundance. Which is essentially just being more capable of having your needs met. These days I am more skeptical of these ex-puas who advise on being more authentic. Mark is one of them. It seems to me that they undervalue the importance of the skills they learnt through game. For example, they learnt how to withstand social pressure and have strong frame. Vulnerability without strength/ effectiveness seems overrated to me. David Tian and Neil Strauss had similar journeys, and say similar stuff about vulnerability. And I judge them the same way. If I'm open about by attraction to women, but I don't have the skills to seduce them, then I don't see how that will help my neediness in the way that really matters.
  22. We need one uncorruptible system that forces wealth distribution, the government is supposed to do this the problem is the government is easily corruptible.

  23. Tongue Twisters

    No1Here2c replied to No1Here2c's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    Watch out for ego. Twisted tongue that one. Will slip in tongues of deception at every possible chance. This is the importance of careful self observation.
  24. In the gulag with you.

  25. Lust is a Mirror

    LastThursday replied to Monster Energy's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    This is true, and it continues to be true no matter how close you get. But if you give it the benefit of the doubt, then you have a mutual synchronicity of experience, two mirrors looking into each other infinitely reflecting.

  27. Yes excellent. I think we’re actually aligned on this main point. I myself also don’t want to land on a conceptual conclusion like “I am consciousness” and announce that as enlightenment. It does seem like that can become another position the mind holds onto, which indeed subtly creates a split rather than dissolving it. Where I think we’re fully in agreement is that whatever reality is, it isn’t something that can be captured or reduced to a concept. Like you said, it’s more like an openness to what has no limits, rather than us arriving at a definition of it. For me, the sole difference is more in approach than in aim. I do not try to define what I am, but I do find it most helpful, practically, to notice how identification with thoughts or fear seems to create the sense of contraction and separation. So the “not identifying” piece isn’t an absolute truth claim, but it's a way of not reinforcing that contraction. So I guess I’d say I shy away from trying to describe what reality ultimately is, but instead stop feeding what seems to limit it in experience. Beyond that, I’m fine leaving it open rather than concluding anything like “it is consciousness” or anything like that.
