@JohnnyRocket The biggest issue when it comes to Peterson and God is, you are never going to find God listening to him because he himself does not understand what God is. God is precisely not a map or a meaning. Peterson's work is what keeps him from discovering God. His intuition is right that God is worth seeking. But he does not understand how to realize God because he's stuck in orthodox Christian notions of God, which are extremely misleading. And then his silly politics stems from that.

There are no legal requirements. That was never the point of the training program. How you gonna coach someone without training?

Sit down and have an honest conversation with her about your intentions towards her. Tell her you like her a lot, but that you don't feel she's "the one". You can suggest that you could still keep seeing each other, if she still wants. But now she will know how you feel and she will have more realistic expectations. It will be heartbreaking for her, but it will better than stringing her along. And ultimately she should understand. The key thing is that you aren't leading her on with false expectations.

Having sex outdoors in public is pretty hard and scary. Not to mention if this is your first time ever having sex. You should be much more comfortable in a secure indoor environment where you will not be interrupted or have to rush. Logistics, logistics, logistics. 70% of getting laid is planning out the night properly so that you two end up alone in a secure location. Also, do not get overly sexual with a girl unless you are ALREADY in a secure location. You must close the deal, otherwise she will often get too creeped out by the situation and not give you another shot. It's too awkward to get naked with someone but not have sex. And girls hate that kind of awkwardness. Next time, make sure you close. You, as the man, are responsible for planning things such that you can close.

@Viking Make friends with a friend who knows how to approach and ask him to guide you and push you a bit. You can find such people on online pickup forums. Approaching is one of those things which feels very difficult at first, but is actually a lot easier than your mind makes it out to be. It's hard to learn to approach solo. It helps a lot to a few seasoned wing-men. You also need to find the right locations to do your approaching (mall, nightclub, cafe, etc). Some locations are much better than others.

Locking this for the sheer ignorance of it.

Sweet! Looking forward to trying MDMA some day. I'm curious if it will be an experience of Infinity for me.

Yes, but he also drank quite a bit of ayahausca. I've discussed this issue with him in private at length. His consciousness of nonduality seems legit. As in: permanent nondual awareness. But he admits, and I agree, that his awakening was rather unusual and unique to him. Not a typical result.

P.S. If you work on making yourself a great man, she will never want to leave you. In fact, being less possessive of her will make her love you more. It's like reverse psychology. If you are a weak man who isn't working on improving himself, then yes, she might leave you from something more exciting. She doesn't really want another girl, she wants more passion, excitement, adventure. So give her more of that. You want that too. The whole point of a relationship is to grow and explore together. That's what keeps it from getting stale.

@Joseph Maynor Lol, you take me too seriously.

You can learn all the techniques and psychology behind attraction and relationships. That is not a problem. In fact, it's very important and women will ultimately appreciate it. The problem arises when you start to turn all of that into an ideology and identity, the way PUA culture does. Don't become that alpha-bro manwhore who runs around chasing women all the time and bragging about it. Attract women, but above all, be a good kind man. Don't become a manipulative used dick salesmen. Learn to develop deep relationships with those women you attract. Don't do it for the sex or the ego, do it for the growth opportunities.

Lol, you got yourself a keeper It's like you're complaining about having found a giant diamond on the sidewalk.

This is just the nature of online forums. 98% of forum posts are supposed to be nonsense. The other 2% are the gold which makes wading through the 98% worthwhile. You just have to adjust your expectations for what forums are. A public forum is not an encyclopedia. If you want that, you got Wikipedia (which is awesome by the way).

Everything is a hallucination at all times. Yes, you can delude yourself into believing all sorts of things using any kind of methods, so it's a rather moot point. It would be a delusion to assume that psychedelics increase your chances of delusion. You are at max delusion "sober". But, yes, you can still be deluded under psychedelics.

Yes! Very good! What you are starting to catch onto there is that everything you call reality is a conceptual fabrication. If you keep questioning deeper you will evetually realize that "physical reality" itself is just an idea, "my birth" is also just an idea, "my life" is also just an idea, "other people" is also just an idea. At which point reality will collapse and you die. That is awakening. After you peel back every layer of the onion what you will discover at the very center is Emptiness. That's the True Self.

The difference is I have ACTUALLY exited the dream and become the Absolute. You have not. So you are wrong. Yes, this may seem arrogant to you, but nevertheless, it is true. And there is no way you will know if I am right until you yourself awaken. At which point you will clearly know the Absolute Truth, but you will be unable to communicate it to anyone else, and you find yourself precisely in my shoes, trying to explain awakening to the unawakened, who just cannot get it because they deeply underestimate what reality is.

All knowledge is non-trivial, involving serious risk and investment of resources. Which is why science takes hundreds of years to make progress, with many dead ends. Which is why you must choose how you invest your time very very wisely. Unfortunately you seem to lack that wisdom, which is a rather problematic catch-22. How do you convince a thirsty donkey to drink water if he keeps insisting the water is poison? And so the donkey, thinking he has avoided a great danger, will end up dying of thirst.

No, you are making this false evaluation from inside the dream. I am speaking to you of truths which lie outside the dream which you cannot fathom because you have never exited the dream. Any ideas you have about 5-MeO are wrong. It's just that simple. You cannot outthink awakening. You are still not grasping that anything your mind thinks is untrue.

@Rujan Mehar Bajracha Solid stuff.

Nevertheless, it takes you out of the dream. It is the dream which ends the dream. Which is a very unique capacity. It is the true Red Pill.

Just more fantasy. Skepticism is part of the dream. And you never will. That's the point. The mind is not capable of getting this because it is the cause of the dream. You cannot speculate about spirituality. You must do the practices, whether than be 5-MeO or yoga or meditation, etc. It is not possible to overcome a lack of direct experience with thinking. You see that?

No, but this thread is a case of stage Orange not being able to see into higher stages because it is hung up on itself. This has nothing to do with agreeing with my opinions. I don't care if you agree with me or disagree. I am just offering some guidance because I can see the trap you are stuck in. I have be stuck in that trap myself years ago. You keep making your misuse of skepticism about me. This issue has nothing to do with yoga or with me. It has to do with how you are misusing your mind, and then expecting others to prove things to you. This not how to seek truth. Leave Leo out of the conversation. Leo should not even enter your mind as you go about seeking truth. What I believe is totally irrelevant. What matters is that you start to contemplate and self-reflect about your own behaviors and beliefs. Believing me will advance you to truth. You must discover the validity of the guidance being given to you for yourself, through self-reflection and experimentation. No. You were given a far deeper lesson here. You were shown the limits of the Orange paradigm, but you insist on continuing to see the world from that level. You are being taught to open your mind. When you finally open your mind, you will stop demanding that people prove anything to you. The irony is that your entire attitude is anti-scientific. True science is not about demanding proofs from people. True science is about openminded experimentation.

It's very important to figure out how you are going to offer value to the world. Your mistake is thinking of this as "work" or "making money". That's super shallow. You need to think of it as: "What is my art? What do I want to contribute to mankind?" The money follows from your passion. You will have to make a living in the world no matter what, so might as well do it on your terms. I make a living by doing what I love most. This was by deep design, not luck.

See the work of Dean Radin and others scientists like him.
