@thetrut11 You're in over your head on this topic. The key mistake you're making is assuming that by cranking up suffering you can make a thing more real or true. But all this does is make the illusion stronger. No matter how much pain or suffering you are stir up, it does not make it real. By your silly logic, you could show clips of the bloodiest horror movies to argue that movies are real. But just because a movie shows horror doesn't make it any more real. Your selfishness is getting in the way of seeing Infinite Love. Yes, those clips you linked are absolutely Infinite Love. Your ego is just making you judge them because you lack consciousness, because you have not done any serious spiritual work.

In the eyes of God you can do no wrong. In the eyes of humans is a whole nother matter. You will be judged relentlessly by those who have a stake in the game.

There are many different ways it can feel: Like nothing, like becoming the entire universe, like love, like death, like God, awe, horror, like waking up from a dream, like heaven, etc.

Learning that delicate balance requires lots and lots of failure. So just go find more girls to flirt with.

Lol #1 rule with girls: never explicitly tell them about sex. If she's gonna fuck you, she needs to be able to maintain the appearance of being a lady. When you tell her explicitly about sex, you make her feel like a cheap whore, and she will never sleep with you after that. You must play subtle and coy. Instead of "You down to fuck?" make it, "Let's get a coffee." Make things sound as innocent as possible. Rather than telling her, "Let's go have sex" tell her, "Let's go watch cartoons". There is no problem if you wanna fuck. Just don't go telling girls about it. Dating is a game. You gotta flirt and tease your way into her pants. It's very counter-intuitive. One of the best things you can do is act like you are totally disinterested in sex. You can even tell her, "We are definitely not having sex tonight." Then have sex with her 10 minutes later. Get good at playing these mind games.

@assx95 Dude, if a girl does not respond to your text within 24hrs, she is gone. She doesn't even know you exist. Move on. A girl who is attracted to you will respond to texts within minutes or hours at most. You cannot attract girls via text. If she's not responsive it's because you failed to build attraction in person and nothing can be done to overcome that. You must reach hook-point in person in order to get responsive texts. Try harder to reach hook-point. It's very noticable when you do. Usually happens within 5-10 mins. You will feel her get enthusiastic about you. She will look in your eyes and be very interested in what you have to say. She will be eager to follow your lead. Do not spend any time thinking about girls who haven't hooked. It will only bring you misery.

Everything didn't come from nothing. Everything is and has always been nothing.

Yes, I have worldly obligations. Mostly with my biz (Actualized.org) and you guys. Also a bit of family obligations, but not much. I am not a social person because I find it too shallow and I like my freedom. I don't need to talk much about these topics with people/family because I get it out via my videos. The videos are my outlet. To me social balance looks like living in a cabin in the woods with maybe a girlfriend. And interacting with students via teachings or writing. I don't care for having a social life in the conventional sense. Don't try to emulate this unless it feels natural to you. People have different social preferences. Mystics tend to have an abnormally high tolerance for solitude. Figure out what you want. What I want is irrelevant to you.

Of course selfish vs selfless is a duality. Ying and yang feeding each other. Good with a captial G is absolutely everything. If you have to self-actualize to be Good, your notion of Good is far too weak and conditional. You are Good even if you rape dogs. Selfishness is none other than Love made manifest.

That is a violation of the non-aggression principle and therefore impossible Everyone is expected to behave according to the libertarian's personal system of morals. This is not a problem since his personal system of morals just so happens to be objectively true and universal.

Of course there's always exceptions. I had a black libertarian friend. Black folks even vote for Trump. Go figure. Lol More generally, libertarianism arises along with Spiral stage Orange, which trumps even race. The Orange value set is fertile soil for a libertarian ideology to arise.

No only are days, weeks, months, and years relative, time itself is an invented notion. At one point in your life you had to invent the notion of "time". Before that, time did not exist for you. Of course as Einstein's relativity shows, even at the physical level, there is no such thing as time. In fact, physics cannot define what time is other than in terms of velocity, which is a circular definition (as all physics definitions are). Which is why time seems to fly when you're not thinking about it, and seems to crawl when you're wishing it would go faster. You are imagining time.

@Serotoninluv They tend to have simplistic and naive ideas of an ideal society, like everyone will live on his own private plot of land and trade with his neighbors peacefully. There's no appreciation of the complexity of human societies, cities, nations, businesses, courts, international trade, warfare, diplomacy, culture, education system, etc. There is no systems thinking. In the libertarian mind everyone is just an individual actor doing whatever he wants as long as it doesn't hurt others.

Stop thinking about survival. Awakening is transcendence of the domain of survival, wherein all problems and suffering lie. Your life sucks to the extent that it is about survival. No lasting happiness can be found in survival. Survival is constant suffering and dissatisfaction.

Because to be a libertarian requires an enormously previleged life. You have to be so disconnected from the realities of survival that you are clueless about things like racism, rape, abuse, exploitation, slavery, corruption, war, warlords, tribal warfare, gangs, etc. It sure helps to be a young white male who grew up in the suburbs of America where no one had much of a chance to exploit you.

Of course! That's selfishness. You can't be selfish without being outraged by unfair treatment of your self. Cooperation is also done out of selfishness.

Oh the tragedy!

The only thing unstraight about your life is that you think you are real or important.

@Nivsch Every question you ask is based on imagined dualities. Ultimate reality cannot be framed in terms of any dualistic statement. You cannot say, "Reality is like X and not Y." Because reality includes X and Y and transcends both. Both X and Y are imaginary. Grasp this, so you stop asking endless silly questions.

You're in a place of confusion because you've only licked the surface of what awakening is. A lot more trips and a lot more contemplation is required to make sense of your trips and come to peace with them. Be careful with how the ego-mind tries to interpret awakening experiences. If you watch my video: The Many Facets Of Awakening, it can help you make sense of your experiences.

You simply need a lot more experience socializing with women. You're not gonna get good with women by sitting at home thinking about it. Go socialize. You will learn from your mistakes in the field.

There's nothing wrong with being a software developer. Just don't advertise yourself as such when in the process of wooing women. Don't talk about your job at all. Find other ways to build attraction until she is curious enough to ask you. If a girl really likes you she will naturally ask about your work at some point. You can even use this opportunity to tease her by telling her you do some stupid job like collecting used soda cans by the highway or cleaning toilets at Taco Bell. Then when you tell her you're a software developer, she will be thrilled. Be a bit mysterious. Don't give away too much of yourself too fast.

There are certain dangers to activating kundalini without knowing what you're doing. Which is why you should study and learn how to do it and what the dangers are. But also you should understand that just because you get initiation does not mean you will now avoid the potential dangers of kundalini. You can still have all the same problems even if Sadhguru himself initiates you.

Definitely leave "software developer" out of your profile. You ain't gonna attract girls with that. Obviously do not lie about it if she asks you point blank what you do, but your profile needs to be human, charming, emotional -- not full of anti-social nerd speak. Basically, girls don't give a damn what you do for a living as long as you're able to hold down a job and pay your bills. She will get attracted to your personality, not your career. Your profile needs to show (not tell) that you have social savvy and are into human things which don't include computers, video games, TV, and internet.
