Yeah, but this is in the context of listening to another. The risk of interacting within your own bubble is that it can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy with no real feedback. -

"What is purpose?" is your question. -
Which allows you to remove bad genes, improve health, age slower? I think I would be interested in some of these. I would like to become 100 at least but if I can reverse my age and be 20 year old in body and mind. Just raw dogging life. And then just be done with it. And leave some for others. If it would be possible I would also stop eating meat. Although I eat meat everyday because I just can’t function without it. It is so cruel for the animals. So if they can find a solution for that I would take it. I have tried to be vegan but it even affects my sleep. When I eat meat I have a very deep sleep. A lot of people have an aversion for brain link but I think a lot of people would be open to bio hacking. No more botox needed. Just tune up your bio with bio hacking and be cute again. This is so insane that we are talking about this. It is like Cyberpunk 2077. Personally I would do both bio hacking and brain link. I mean I just have one shot at life. I don’t want to be disadvantaged by staying a caveman while I can be cyberpunk with DMT infusion, super immune system, intelligence and AI integration. I think soon we will see different kind of human species on earth. People who have chosen for different kinds of bio hacking and optimizations. And of course the people who will choose to stay old school and end up as neanthertallers.

What you're talking about is a moment of opening to the total. The total is nothing defined, it's not form, but it encompasses everything. The point is, first, to understand what this experience entails, and second, to be able to access it in your ordinary life, so that, third, you can see the total in all forms. This is what they call enlightenment. First, when you say that you realized that reality is infinite consciousness, this is a mistake. The words "consciousness" and "infinite" are superfluous. What happened is that all form dissolved, and the conscious being that you are became aware of what it is, of its essence or substance. What you are is unlimited being. Being is not the same as consciousness, and unlimited is not the same as infinite. Numbers are infinite; they continue infinitely and never end. Unlimited is without dimension. It is neither large nor small; large, small, and infinite, are facets that can occur within it. It is not consciousness itself, but rather consciousness can occur within it when it splits in two, as is the case with your perceiving. You are an expression of being made form that perceives being made form, and that can dissolve all form until you are being reflected in being. Absolute or unlimited being has a positive, or rather, affirmative quality: it is. What is has no opposite, and it has no limits. It is equivalent to the absence of limits inherent in reality, which, being unlimited, simply is. Being expresses itself in unlimited forms, unlimited dimensions, and coherent possibilities that link together and, to put it poetically, dance with each other in the dance of relationships, since every form is relative to another, is in contrast to another form. It is possible to access the totality, as in your dream, in your daily life. The totality erases the psychological, since your psyche shifts from operating within a closed, self-reflective framework to doing so within an open one. Your inner landscape transforms from opposing forms to a living, bottomless depth. Living because it is. Then you recognize yourself as what is, and form becomes secondary, an expression of your nature. You see that death is the end of form, and the continuity of the self is irrelevant since the self is irrelevant. Being is, and form is its expression now. The ego dissolves, and total vastness manifests and remains as the perceived substance of what you are. -
O Me! O Life! By Walt Whitman - "Leaves of Grass" (1892) Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring, Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish, Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?) Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d, Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me, Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined, The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here—that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

@LordFall If that's what makes you feel like a million bucks, go get 'em. I used to fee insecure about my dating/sex habits, but now I'll happily admit that I date only 2-3 girls per year and sleep with 1 of them (unless I have a girlfriend). Sex has never really been high priority for me and even when it was a little higher on the list, it distracted from all the other cool things I love about life. Maybe you and your bros are just wired to want a buncha hot girls, and that's fine. And yet, the hot ones are often the worst to be around. I never approached them in bars, not because I was scared of their hotness (laughable), but because I was "scared" of their craziness. I once f*cked a SUPER "hot" girl, which made me feel like I shot up heroin after (it felt AMAZING). But she turned out to be a total psychopath with the worst personality ever, and I had to ditch her like a high speed chase. If she's a 10 in looks but a 2 in personality, 10+2=12 (lame). Is she's only a 7 in looks but a 9 in personality, 7+9=16 (better). I've had both and I would take the one with a surplus in personality every time. Then again, I'm demisexual, as others on this forum have pointed out. "Demisexuality is used to describe individuals who feel sexually attracted to someone only after developing a close or strong emotional bond with them." (Wikipedia) All of that said, it looks like you've got a killer network and I hope you crush your goals. I think you're a little bit of an outlier on this forum in terms of game skills, sex drive, and motivation (for better, worse, or both). Only thing I'd ask is why do you care who is picking up whom and what people on the forums think? They probably aren't as dedicated to this stuff as you. You're clearly more wired for it or have convinced yourself you're invested in this lifestyle and ought to max it. Which again, nothing wrong with that, but for most people it's a stepping stone that becomes tertiary before long. Cheers~

I would often count my breathing at the start of a run, four paces in, four paces out. It feels quite artificial, but it does stop the mind wandering, and it put focus on my breathing and regularity of pace.

I really dont understand how you could spend your entire life trying to attract beautiful woman, alot are annoying as hell and use their attractiveness to extract from you. Thats what you want? You want to constantly be annoyed and fighting useless battles to feel special to have a body around that the person didnt even create? I am not saying every attractive woman is like this but a high majority of them develop ego around it and feel that just being there as a beautiful woman is somehow an accomplishment that should be admired. There are bigger things to achieve. Every guy in that picture would have no hope with those woman except with money that they want to extract from them. Being high status is a curse that should be fleed from not tried to be obtained.

LastThursday replied to saif2's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I think I've said it before, my prescriptive answer is that there is no purpose to this in any way. It just is. Saying that it doesn't stop purpose from being the main thrust of living, you just understand that purpose is there as a motivator or a prop to feed your human needs. There is no right way to carry out the process of living, and you don't have to live with purpose. But you're asking a more existential question. There is so much coherence to experience that it seems silly not to give it purpose. Experience seems "designed" and put together too well not to be purposeful. What is purpose though? It's goal oriented action. And I think that is where it falls apart. The more you examine this the more it's realised there is no end goal to it, it just carries on and on, there is no purpose to it. @saif2 would you say that the purpose is then just for God to manifest itself? -
Crazy how different each man's "10" is. I look at these pictures and had to squint to find maybe 2 that fit my tastes. But I do see the value of what you're saying. Social Circle is definitely the highest form of game. If Cold Approach is hunting for food, Social Circle is farming. Way more sustainable and scalable. However, you're kidding yourself if you think you NEED to do that to get the hottest women. No matter who you are, you have to go grocery shopping every now and then, you have to walk down the street to get somewhere, you will have a friend that drags you out to a night life venue and you will inevitably be in a position to be approached by a man daring enough to try. And all it takes is one guy who is compelling enough and has the skills to move things forward in a methodical fashion for you to be seduced. I agree that a lot of men are delusional when it comes to dating, though. They need to improve themselves: hit the gym, learn charisma, work on your insecurities, develop some decent friendships, groom yourself etc etc. But the average guy, if willing to put himself out there and approach these attractive 10s can and will get one. These women are only human, dude. The 10s I've met in my life were almost all homebodies, introverted and didnt like being around people all the time. Im sure there are others who are more social, more status oriented, want to be part of a community, too. But the point is, thats not all of them. The highest form of game is realizing that these women are no different than you. Accept yourself fully, develop your character as a man (its a paradox, Im aware) and know there is a woman out there who will love who you are, right now. Having that said, I will be hosting my own container event soon and will be building my own social circle out of inspiration to do so, not because I feel like thats the ultimate way to get the type of girl I want.

That's crazy. It makes no sense to refuse high-quality audio and video. That's so frustrating and sad.

I did not say that. That is your interpretation of my post. Most people, like 99.5%, men and women are not interested in Truth based on my standards. These people who spin up shit in philosophy circles do survival not truth seeking. Women tend to be more intuitive and trust their feelings. Men use logic as a compass, women use intuition/feelings in general. Now of course you'll meet some very intelligent women who will be able to swing form their masculine side to their feminine side and they seem that they break all these generalizations. But what is the chance to meet one?? Hell, what is the chance to meet such a guy either? And some guys say that women who are so much in their masculine side, in their conceptual/abstract/figuring out side, are less attractive. And I can understand that, because they bascially behave like a man. But I don't fully hold that statement until it will happen to me personally. Truth seeking is done alone, people in groups do survival. Show me a group of people/organization who does not do survival. If you get involved with other people, I recommend to not expect them to do truth seeking. This forum is maybe the most uncorrupt community in the world, this is very unique and is due to Leo's huge efforts to keep it as least corrupt as possible. And still, you see lots of cheap chatting and shit here also. And talking about truth is not the same with seeking truth.

My God. How can the lady (Nastya?) laugh like that after that whole sequence? Pure evil!

Listening to part 2 while driving. After the whole sequence, goosebumps came, and then tears started rolling down at 59:30. Geez.

@Psychonaut Are you sure about this? How does attachment trauma translate into compulsive masturbation habit? I'm asking because addiction can have many other reasons.
-
You only need to do that stuff if you're targeting materialistic women, which is an empty venture anyway.

@Leo Gura I had a different experience. For 6 months I didn't masturbate. Interactions with women at ecstatic dance were effortless—no neediness, just natural flow. Then I entered a relationship and everything changed. Here's what I learned: the same brain structures for mother-child bonding activate in romantic relationships. When you're single, those circuits stay quiet. In relationship, childhood attachment wounds flood back. For me: compulsive masturbation returned not as sexuality, but as self-soothing for attachment trauma the relationship triggered. The real issue isn't "women won't satisfy you." It's unhealed attachment wounds making intimacy overwhelming. Being single and not masturbating was easy because I wasn't activating the wound. But that's avoidance, not healing. The solution isn't managing frustration through masturbation. It's healing attachment wounds so you can be in relationship without compulsive coping. Sexual energy conservation works when you're not using it to self-soothe trauma.

A real possibility. Naturally self selecting out of the gene pool.

I asked myself those questions Why AM I here? What is the purpose of this? Is there even a Purpose? Why Do I assume that I exist? What is something beyond thought, emotions, and sense perceptions? There is Purity here. What about through History? What about evolution Am I evolving? Emerson said " History is an impertinence and an injury if it be anything more than a cheerful apologue of my being and becoming." And then I realized the Purpose of the phenomenal world is not to become God realized or to become more conscious. The phenomenal world is just a manifestation of God's evolution.

@Joshe Absolutely. I've seen this cope so many times. There are fictional stories warning about becoming this type of person. The genius that has the whole world figured out and is "above" most things in society, yet is a man child playing video games in their parents basement -- because it's easier to create castles in your head than accept the reality of being mediocre. Such a person hasn't even stepped into the ring.

@Valach Fizzle out performative empathy, and from there, stack the real stuff, bit by bit. Appreciation. Good luck.

Cool idea thanks
