Doesn't have to be, but often is. A fool understands nothing but suffering. The wise awaken by seeking out Truth directly, for its own sake.

You displayed a closedminded attitude about how spiritual paths work. And I pointed that out to you. There are far more valid paths to Truth than your beliefs belief. That's all. No, she too went through a deep and long suicidal depression.

Good luck with your closedmindedness. All your firm beliefs are bullshit.

Pickup leads to that if you want. Most guys who get into pickup just want to get a nice girlfriend. They are not going to bang 100 girls. In practice you sleep with 10-20 girls, you get that out of your system, and you settle down with one who's right for you. Not much different than normal social people do. Don't forget, people who are social can easily have 10-20 sexual partners, simply because they are so social and have ample opportunities. A hot girl will easily have 10-20 sexual partners in her lifetime. She is fucking around. She just keeps it secret. LOL, you haven't read about how many gurus sleep with their students? Gurus have optimized pickup so much that they don't even need to go to the club/bar, the girls flock to them. This is the ultimate form of pickup. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Getting laid as a guru is the easiest thing in the world. Which is a big reason why spiritual communities are formed. If you start a spiritual community you are automatically guaranteed sex. Of course it all turns into a toxic mess soon enough. LOL, how naive. The "very specific religious purpose" is to bust some nuts. The people participating are carefully selected to be as hot as possible. You must appreciate how sneaky the sex drive is. It will not simply lay down and die, even after awakening. It will get crafty.

Ralston's awakening came from intense self-inquiry retreats where me contemplated "Who am I?" for 3 weeks non-stop. And Ralston is a freak of nature. None of you here have his contemplation or focus abilities. If you only knew how much work Ralston has done, your jaw would drop. He's done over 10,000 hours of retreats.

No Suicidal depression was his work.

I don't even know who GP Walsh is. You have your facts wrong. Again, you guys are only looking at the surface. If you had actually read Suzanne Segal's life story you would know that she spent years doing intense, hardcore TM meditation. She was a high level TM instructor. And THEN her awakening came spontaneously some years after she quit TM. She mediated for 10 hours a day or more. None of you here have ever done that much spiritual work.

Fools gold. None of it was spontaeneous. You just don't realize the work that went into it. You are only looking as the end result.

Key word there is "seems". It seems that way because you don't know how much effort it took. It took Neale Donald Walch over a year to channel the first book over many sessions. And of course his notes were heavily edited and polished. He did not just sit down and the whole booked poured out of him in one week. You guys have to be careful with you assumptions. When you see a spiritual teacher or teaching you are only seeing the end result. You have no clue how much work was done behind the scenes and how ugly the work looked. That's one of the reasons I'm sharing raw footage of my awakening process. It's going to look very messy when it's happening to you. It's not going be like Ekhart Tolle sitting stoicly on a chair. It's going to feel more like you're ready to put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger. But no one shows you that part.

Imagine a set of hands juggling hands.

@Conscious life Do you understand that people with the structure of your mind killed Jesus? Think it through. Why was Jesus killed?

Just the opposite. When the mind is closed, death is its only salvation. This is a message of highest compassion. Of course you are welcome to open your mind prior to the death of that mind. God hopes you do. But just in case you don't, God has made sure that that mind will die. I'm just explaining to you Plan B.

This is very true if you want to get laid consistently and not just accidentally.

Keep searching for more examples. I want more strange loops! We need to have the biggest repository of strange loops on the planet here.

Nice! That is fucking amazing! Now that's a proper strange loop!

@Conscious life You've totally blocked yourself from ever awakening. Think about it. Pretty sad, really. My condolences. Consider yourself lucky that that stubborn, closedminded avatar and it's mind will die. Otherwise you'd be trapped in your self-created hell forever.

LOL

You don't need to stop dating or having sex to awaken. Many awakened people have sex. In fact I would say most of them.

Sounds like you need a much high dose because for whatever reason you are very tolerant to plugging. It's crucial your bowels are totally empty otherwise it won't work.

I tease. Tom Campbell's a great guy.

@fi1ghtclub Stop imagining that you're human and then maybe you could do some cool new stuff

Lots of people bring passion and craft to their profession, but they don't get paid $25 million/year for it because they are not throwing balls into baskets. It requires a society which values balls in baskets to pay that kind of money for that kind of activity. You ain't gonna earn $25 mil/year throwing horse shoes, no matter how much passion or creativity you do it with. Then again, DudePerfect earns $20 mil/year throwing things:

A difference you are imagining. You are really going to debate the definition of "throw"?

Good to know you're not a rapist
