I don't know where you found that nonsense. That is not what I consider proper pickup. Why are you even looking at that when there is so much good material out there? You don't have to be an abusive juvenile jerk to attract women. Pickup theory does not apply to women trying to find men. Women need a whole different set of advice and techniques. You can find tons of material specifically tailored to women. Dating advice for women. It is not going to involve cold approaching men on the street asking for phone numbers.

@Amadeusz You young people who follow me have to understand that I talk about extremely advanced stuff (nowadays). Really, really, really advanced stuff! It took me tens of years of earthly development before I got to the lofty topics I'm now covering. There are many earthly materialistic development topics which I hardly cover at all even though they are very important for the average viewer. It's sort of like I'm teaching a college calculus class but you walk in by accident as a 5th grader. You need to handle the basics first. What most of you guys need is some basic Tony Robbins shit. Do some of that before you try to get all spiritual. Be mindful of getting ahead of your skiis.

I'm not sure what this means. The finite can know the infinite. And the infinite can know the finite. The infinite is not other than the finite. You have to understand spiritual phrasing in their proper contexts. What Spria might be talking about is the the Absolute formless Godhead which you can think of as sort of disconnected from the formed realm. You could say that it does not know the finite formed realm. But at the same it is also identical with the finite formed realm. In this context, you have to understand that the word "know" is virtually identical with "be". We are not talking about linguistic knowledge. We are talking about being. But all of this talk will only confuse you more. You must let all this go and just do the practices. Take a psychedelic to easily see what Spira is pointing to.

It's not the weed, it's one's existential questioning that does the work. The weed is just a lubricant. A lubricant does not do the work by itself, it needs a running engine. Which explains why most people who smoke weed never realize God. Because their engine isn't running to begin with. They are not existentially questioning reality.

@KMB4222 Does not sound like you know what you are. The whole point of enlightenment is to reach your Absolute Nature and to be sure about it. If you feel like you can die, you're not there yet. Keep going until you're 100% sure you're immortal.

Low self esteem people tend to be very insecure, helpless, and needy. They love to play victim. When you are incapable of meeting your basic needs your entire life becomes dysfunctional and backwards. You are forced to resort to outrageous degrees of selfishness just to maintain your basic existence.

You misunderstood what I asked you. I was not talking about learning more stuff for the hippocampus. I was talking about being conscious of things which you're still not conscious of. A little bit of enlightenment is a dangerous thing indeed. Makes for a flippant smartass.

@Highest Good work. Now be that conscious 24/7

@Anton Rogachevski All 3 of them were killed so that they would not be in charge any more! The most ruthless Aztecs probably ate the wisest ones. P.S. And JFK, Gandhi, and MKL were not the wisest people in our culture. Not even close. They were just relatively wise compared to average political leaders. Which is not a high bar. None of them were enlightened. The wisest people in the culture are so wise hardly anyone knows about them.

As with all things, it requires a delicate balance.

Lack of theory is also a trap. The opposite of a trap, is another trap. I see so many Zen devils around due to poor or insufficient theory. And of course the first thing those devils do is dismiss the value of reading or theory. How convenient for a devil to not have to read about his own devilry on the pretense that he is "too woke" to read books. Lol! It's absurd!

@NoSelfSelf You are getting ahead of your skiis. You must be honest about where you actually ARE, not some fantasy about the future.

@How to be wise Contemplate: What is survival?

There can be no stable forms without survival. Survival IS nothing other than the stabilization of forms within Teotl. Without survival you could not ask any questions.

@aespinosa Western philosophy has been trying to solve the problem of truth for over 2000 years. And they still haven't got it. You must appreciate how deep this problem goes. Nevertheless, Absolute Truth exists and it can be directly comprehended. But not in the way you're trying to do. Not by sitting there and theorizing about it. Truth is precisely not theory.

@Sven What is it exactly that you became conscious of? Are you conscious of what reality is? Are you conscious of what other is? Are you conscious of why everything exists? Are you conscious of what God is? Keep in mind, there may be more to become conscious of.

@Tetcher Even if there are souls and all that, genetics is still a big factor. A great soul in a crippled body will not go very far. Such conditions often have multiple causes. You must experiment to find what the root cause is for you. Not everyone gets ADD for the same reasons.

@Ar_Senses Great self-reflection here. Yeah, food is tricky because grabage food is EVERYWHERE and healthy food nowhere. You must basically cook all your own food if you want to eat clean. Diet is super important. It's really the foundation. You will not get far with self-actualization without proper diet.

@Wisebaxter No, what she's saying it not dictated by your ego. You and I are identical, nothing. The mistake you're making is you're getting too attached to perceptions and forms. Consider: you could have perceptions of there while I have perceptions over here, yet we are still one. I am still you. In the same way that the entire universe is one thing.

@Wisebaxter She is YOU! Lol You're just talking to yourself in this thread. There's no one here but you. Do not mistake what I am saying for solipsism. As I have said before, nonduality is not solipsism. It's not that you gf or the demon is unreal. It's that they are facets of universal mind (YOU).

@Tetcher To me there is little difference between genetics and past lives. Genetics is just universal memory. The genetics of a donkey do not allow it to have sufficient consciousness to learn mathematics. Humans brains have enormous variety. We do not all have one type of brain. Each brain has unique pros and cons. Some are good at linear thinking, others at meditation, others at emotions, others at art, others a language, others at psychic powers, etc. No one brain does it all equally well. There are real tradeoffs.

@ravlondon I haven't watched RSD for about 3 years so I don't know what they are teaching now. I was assuming it would get better, not worse. But there's definitely a lot of devilry in that community. Owen has not purified himself of his own devilry last time I checked. He's taking his sweet time. His ambition is his greatest strength and weakness.

How much consciousness one can muster definitely depends on genetics and physiology. The Absolute is of course prior to genetics. But this means jack if your brain is fucked up. This is simply not recognized by most spiritual traditons because they are 1000 years older than genetics or neuroscience. If your brain is filled with lead and mercury, good luck getting enlightened. You'll have ADD so bad you will barely be able to read a book. The deep problem here is that genetically gifted spiritual people take their own abilities totally for granted, as if everyone has them. No they don't.

The upside of rolling solo is that you grow very fast, as long as you're able to do approaches. If you're going out solo and you're so scared that you don't even approach, then you're not ready for that yet. You need a wingman/friend. @Brenzo2 You mean you're in a relationship but you want to build your pickup skills at the same time? That's hard. In practice, once you get in a comfortable relationship your pickup skills will suffer. There's a trade-off. @Joel3102 Yes, it certainly is, but it's going to take much more work than you imagine at the outset. But the upside is that it will also be much more rewarding (in terms of growth) than you imagine. To really get good at pickup you need to hit it hardcore for a couple of years, approaching 5000+ people. You need to take it very seriously. A half-assed attitude will not work here. You basically need to rewire and retrain much of your mind. Attraction is extremely counter-intuitive. It will shock you. You'll be in for some rude awakening. It will be emotionally difficult. But it will grow you like crazy. If you do it, don't do it for the sex, do it for the stronger man it makes you. It can also be very fun and exciting compared to sitting at home and playing Fortnite. Doing pickup hardcore makes you feel ALIVE! It makes you feel like a hero on his journey towards manhood. I highly recommend handling this part of your life. Just don't be a douche, don't hurt women, and don't develop an ideology or identity around it. If you want to get serious about learning this skill set, you must bite the bullet and move to a large city with great nightlife and lots of hot girls. LA, NYC, Chicago, Miami, Austin, Vegas, London, etc. It's very worth it. Don't be trying to learn pickup in some redneck part of the world. You need volume to practice on. If you're not willing to relocate, you're not very serious about it. But at the same time, don't make excuses if you can't relocate immediately. Begin wherever you're at and make plan to upgrade your situation. Pickup is not just about attracting girls. Pickup is about upgrading your entire lifestyle. It's about better nutrition, better fitness, better apartment, better decor, better cloths, better haircut, better friends, better car, better everything. Transform yourself into an attractive fucking man with an awesome life such that a woman would be itching to be around you. Shed your old childish ways. Become awesome. When you become a truly awesome, valuable man, guys and girls will flock to be around you. This is not some gimmick. You are actually becoming awesome. It's a total makeover. But also don't get lost in it. Return to spirituality once you've completed that phase of your life. P.S. There are always limits to everything a human does. Don't let that stop you from being awesome. You don't need to sleep with 100 girls. You don't need to become the Michael Jordan of pickup. You just need to become decent and score a few girlfriends. Which basically any guy can do.

I hope to do a Tour in the future. We have a thread about it. But the Tour has been delayed as I work on myself.
