Some good questions. Yeah, if you guys want to post your questions here, I might pick some for part 2. Part 2 hasn't been shot yet. Make your questions good. Make them about God itself, not meditation technique or other aspects of spiritual practice. In practice, one experience of God is almost never enough. One experience of God will likely leave you more confused than zero experience of God. God is just too big to grasp it all at once. You'd probably faint if that happened. It took me maybe 10-15 separate breakthrough experiences to get a solid understanding of it. But eventually your goal is to make it a permanent state of consciousness, called Sahaja Samadhi, where you are conscious of God 24/7. This is called the stateless state.

@AlphaAbundance Why are you confusing me with a stone?

Infinity! You're not getting it. It is EVERYTHING!

It's absolutely infinite. This is what infinity looks like. You're not getting it yet. Try some 5-MeO-DMT

Hoes are waiting for you right here, right now. You're in paradise already. You just need the eyes to see it. The devil, in his arrogance and ignorance, creates his own hell right in the middle of paradise and then wonders how God could be so cruel.

@AlphaAbundance Death will just bring you right back here. There is nowhere to go. Nothingness is not somewhere else. It is HERE and NOW! If you physically kill yourself, all that will happen is you will change forms into something else. But you will still be here: nowhere, nowhen, nothing, now. You cannot escape yourself. Ever. Think of it this way: you've already killed yourself a million times. Which brought you to this life you're in right now.

Their hotness actually plays a fairly important role. A hot girl has enormous value to men. Men know it and she knows it. And she will use that to up her survival (as any living creature would). Getting 5's, 6's, and 7's is pretty straight forward. But if you want to date 8's and 9's, you gotta bring some serious value to the table. Hotness comes with a price. Hotness ain't free. As far as 10's, forget about it. Not even worth thinking about. Handling 9's and 10's is not gonna be worth your time most likely. They can be really high maintenance and have spoiled rotten materialistic souls. The best way to land 9's and 10's is to become famous. So your social value is obvious and glaring it's never in question that you are the prize and she's be lucky to be in your presence. Fame is an awesome dating strategy and can tie in nicely with your LP. For example, if you're a famous author, you should have no problem getting laid from social events and book signings. Just be careful not to abuse it.

@Moondog Don't look for explanations of such things. Just keep doing your practice and enjoy it. There's nothing to explain. "Stuff" will arise and pass away. Various mystical states will happen many times in various ways. Spiritual phenomena will come and go. Be careful not to project too much meaning into it. Take it at face value as phenomena.

A way that should work is success-oriented self-help. Nothing spiritual or nondual or New Agey or metaphysical. Just pure techniques for being more successful at everyday life. Secular advice, like a book about how to earn more money or a book on how to be more charismatic. Perhaps a book on history, biography, or popular science. That kind of stuff. A person who's in high Blue should show an interest in the above.

That's a big investment to make with significant risk of failure. I recommend that you first thoroughly research your market to make sure that what you're gonna be selling will actually sell. You must research all such similar apps and see how your app could compete. You need to have a solid, realistic plan for how you're gonna make that money back. Hiring a developer is pretty easy. Sites like Guru.com and Upwork.com allow you to hire developers from around the world at affordable rates. The biggest mistake new entrepreneurs make is that they fail to properly test their idea before launching it, only to hear the sound of crickets as no one even knows your product exists. You must have a realistic marketing strategy. How are people going to find your app? A good product alone is not enough. Developing the app itself is the easiest part of your plan. Marketing the app is the hard part. How much will you charge and who's gonna buy it? Will it really be useful to people? Will it be unique enough to get word-of-mouth recommendations? How are you gonna get your first 100 sales? Who is your target audience? What needs do they have which aren't already being served? How will your app compete against other apps like OneNote and EverNote? As an entrepreneur it's your job to solve all those questions. If you're gonna be in the app-making business, you need to carefully study the app marketplace. Which apps sell? Which apps flop? Which parts of the market are saturated? Which parts of the market aren't? How much money can you expect to make? How are successful apps marketed? etc.

I wouldn't go that far. I have no idea. You tell me. It's hard to quantify it like that. I don't measure my investigations into topics in hours. But I've probably spent 50-100 hours studying Spiral Dynamics. That's probably what it takes to have a solid grasp of it. Embodiment is a whole nother matter. That could take decades.

@Emerald Good work!

Kriya yoga Also you might want to consider EEG brain training / neurofeedback therapy. It can be very effective for ADHD. Find a local provider. Search Yelp for something like this near you: https://www.yelp.com/biz/sierra-eeg-neurofeedback-therapy-grass-valley Binaural beats can also be helpful to jump start your meditation.

My pleasure

They don't care how much sex you have, nor will they ever know. But what they do care about is that you have some value as a man. To a woman, value in a man is his survival value to her. A valuable man usually acts confident, witty, easy-going, leader in his pack of friends, outgoing, charismatic, takes initiative, knows what he wants, passionate about his life, has a clear sense of direction in life, has a decent job, a results-maker, the boss, etc. The girl needs to feel that YOU are the prize. If you feel that she is the prize, she's basically out of your league and she knows it and so she won't get attracted to you. Guys who are surrounded by lots of friends, who are the hub of their social network, have high value to a girl. She will find such a guy much more attractive than a loner because girls are social creatures and love to leech off social networks. That's a big part of their survival strategy. To get the hottest girls you need to build a lot of social value. It's a full-time job. Having lots of friends who are girls are a great way to get girls interested in you. That's like the epitome of social proof. The more hot girls are around, the more will flock to you. Just like earning money. Winner takes all, loser ends up getting scraps. Being famous is the best way to have social value. Which is why rockstars, DJ's, and celebrities get laid the most. Girls love a guy who has some solid social status which everyone recognizes. With all that said, you don't need any social value to get a girl. It's mostly only necessary if you want to land the hottest girls, the top 5%. Ordinary girls will settle for much less. To attract an ordinary girl all you need is some confidence, humor, and decent conversation skills. All of which can be trained up.

@LaucherJunge If a girl is running off to see other guys something is very wrong. She's not really attracted to you. Sounds like you did something to lose her attraction, or you never had it to begin with. Are you actually having sex with her? Or is this some kind of Platonic relationship?

Don't call this depression. An existential crisis is not depression. These are classic signs of waking up. You are not going to wake up without facing nihilism head-on.

How do you enjoy a movie? You know it's not real yet you enjoy it anyway. How do you enjoy a video game? You know it's not real yet you enjoy it anyway. What you don't realize yet is that BEING is superior to meaning. Stop needing meaning. Enjoy being. You need to become conscious that you are assigning negative meaning to meaninglessness. You are not conscious of this yet. Take responsibility over the fact that you create meaning. And create whatever you want. Sadness is something you are unwittingly creating. It is not a given to be sad. You must do it.

@cetus56 That would be a problem. You saying you have that?

@cetus56 Do some research into alternative healing modalities. It's a very big field with lots of potential solutions that you'll never hear from your doctor. Some of it can be life-saving stuff. Alternative medicine books have been written on virtually every ailment known to man. Just do a quick Amazon or Google search. Like so: "alternative treatments for MS" "natural healing MS book" Replace "MS" with whatever ailment you have.

And I label Western doctors BS. Of course we should be open to the possibility that what the OP is describing is not kundalini but something else. Perhaps some kind of disease or other kind of dysfunction. The human mind/body is a very complex machine which can become broken in thousands of subtle ways. Diagnosing all these ways is not trivial, sometimes taking years of investigation and trail and error. Chronic health conditions can be a real nuisance. I've been dealing with several of my own, and it's not easy.

@Aaron p Be mindful of the stories you make up about me. Nobody here really knows me. What you're relating to when you think of me is your own self, not the actual me. Notice this. Any ideas you have of me being a good or bad person or whatever... it's ALL your own stuff! Makes you wonder... Have you ever related to an actual human being in your entire life? Or was it always your own self you were relating to? Projecting your own ideas and needs onto them? Investigate that. Any meaning your attribute to me or my work is your own projection, serving your ego in some way. In truth, my work is literally meaningness.

@corndjorn Mind is a concept. Body is also a concept. Past and future are concepts. Most things humans know are concepts.

@corndjorn You're acting as though someone here is instructing you to avoid stuff. No one said to avoid anything. You are arguing against your own self. Why are you associating psychedelics with some kind of avoidance?? You might as well go to a Zen temple and complain to them that meditation is a form of avoidance. As a general rule of thumb: You are creating whatever results you are getting.

Not ego-backlash but ego is the root cause of depression. More accurately, the ego-mind is constantly evaluating, judging, and assigning meaning to reality. Depression is one of these meanings which you are creating but you are not conscious that you are creating it. It happen automatically in you because your level of consciousness is quite low. Try this experiment: sit comfortably at home and do not think a single thought about the future or the past. Be fully present. Strip all meaning from reality. Can you still feel depressed? Keep doing this until you realize that depression is something YOU ARE DOING! It is not happening to you! All negative emotions are something you create. Negativity is never found in the "external world". It arises out of how your ego-mind assigns meaning to external things based on its survival needs. You might say, "But Leo, what if I get cancer? Cancer caused me to be depressed!" No! The meaning YOU ASSIGN to cancer causes you to be depressed. And it possible to train yourself to stop assigning meaning to things. Consciousness and mindfulness helps with depression. But you must actually do it. And the catch-22 is, if you're depressed, you probably don't want to do it, nor do you want to believe what I'm saying.
