But the potential for danger and misuse is high at that age, generally speaking. Just cause you managed it doesn't mean it's a smart overall approach. We don't want youngsters wrecking themselves. It was hard for me even in my 30s. I took it too far. I can't imagine a youngster going through my arc. That would be very risky.

You can break the guidelines if you are serious and know what you're doing. Those were my general guidelines for a general audience. A serious mystic is a unique case that breaks many rules.

Dose doesn't lose potency. It's not getting fully absorbed. Don't increase dose, just try better method. If you increase dose and it gets fully absorbed you'll be in deep trouble. So careful. 30mg is a very serious dose.

Something about the way he says it makes it seem too try-hard. Maybe I'm being unfair.

He means you lack a penis.

People are so different that it's hard to give advice that applies to everyone on this issue. I just wanted to warn youngsters against diving into psychedelics head first and thinking there's no downsides. Consider all the trade-offs and make your own decision as to what is right for you. By this point I've described all the risks for ya, so you should be well informed of the trade-offs.

Go higher until it becomes uncomfortable. But be careful. Increment by 5mgs. Don't be doubling doses.

I don't find micro-dosing useful. But you may be different. Micro-dosing isn't risky, but it also doesn't add much in my opinion, and it opens the door to the temptation of full tripping. Once you have the chemical, it's hard to say no. Also I don't like the chronic use of any chemical other than legit medicine. It becomes a crutch/addiction. Sure, it gives the brain new perspectives, but it does more than that. Expanding consciousness is real, it is not just different brain pathways. It's more than that. Your friend is not wrong per se, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

It's like a credit card. You can use it responsibly, but the entire business model is designed for you to fail at that.

Strange strategy. Not jerking off would hinder my objectivity. The point of jerking off is to be more objective and sober. Do you know how deluded I would be about women if I never jerked off?? Lol

@Lila9 What are the best feminist books you've read?

That is hard to say. Most people will not be going hardcore mystic. Having kids is a huge decision, but relationships is easy enough to combine with mysticism. You can find ways to combine mysticism and family life and even kids. Delay one or the other. Either do your mysticism before you start a family or after your kids leave the nest. It all depends on your desires. Kriya yoga is designed for householders. So you can do it while you have a family.

Well, this is specifically in the context of how to talk to women.

That is what HoeMath is suggesting his audience does. Women don't help a man make himself, though. Women often discourage it. "Just be yourself". To make oneself requires understanding the gap between what one is and what one needs to become. That's why men require lots of coaching on this matter. There are many ways to go wrong.

It is okay, but there is the risk that you might want to start using chronically. Once the door is open, it's hard to forget. It much depends on your personality. For some people it will be easy to forget, for others it will be impossible to forget. If you are very serious about truth-seeking, psychedelics open a door that you cannot ignore.

I'm making this thread to collect every important video or source of information I find about understanding Israel's deceptive behavior. I've found dozens upon dozens of important videos, too many to fit on the blog. So I'm going to keep adding them here. Feel free to add your own. This is not a thread about debating the Israel-Gaza war. I want to build up a playlist of quality videos for people who want a deep understanding of Israel's deceptive behavior -- the underbelly, if you will. This playlist does not focus on understanding Hamas or Arab terrorism or the latest news about the Gaza conflict (since we already have a thread for that). Warning, this list will be pretty negative as it focuses on uncovering deception, propaganda, bias, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and deconstructing illusions. I see a lot of deception and bias about Israel in mainstream western media which I want to dispel. That's what this playlist is about. This is part of my study of self-deception and self-bias. Sorry if this doesn't seem fair, but this is what I needed to study to unravel the deceptions. This is part of my own sense-making journey. Feel free to discuss any of the videos or share your own. Be mindful not to share low quality, hateful, or misleading/untruthful material. The point here is not be deliberately negative but to gain a deeper understanding of the Israel situation. I will delete any low quality material posted here.

Because you can't get laid sitting around in your armchair doubting your life.

Chasing comes from neediness.

That simply does not apply to modern civilization. You are talking about some mythical pre-civilizational past which is long in the rear-view mirror, if it ever even existed. Once civilization came online, everything forever changed. You can't undo civilization or act like it isn't a thing. Civilization is patriarchal because everything hinges on winning wars. Women can't win wars. There is no negotiating this. Wars need to be fought and won if you wish to live.

I don't mean chasing, I mean orbiting. It's a subtle but important difference. No one should really be chasing because it comes off as desperate. But if a woman really likes a man, she will chase him and that dynamic is not the end of the world for her. He will still be interested in her. But if a man ever chases a woman, he is cooked. No woman will ever sleep with him. It is more acceptable for a woman to be needy than a man. In a woman it's cute, in a man it's gross.

Both. The woman will not be happy in the relationship long-term if the man loses his center and starts orbiting her. Feminine energy orbits the masculine. This shouldn't be a desperate needy chasing, but a healthy kind of orbiting/following.

This is all natural for humans and it is our situation and it is not changing anytime soon. This is the market we must survive in. And he does complain a lot about how casual dating is a degradation from the old system of traditional marriage. So he is not overlooking that capitalism and liberalism shapes the dating market. As a conservative he dislikes this liberalization and sexual "liberation". It is ironic that feminism and liberalism has created our current casual dating situation. Women these days treat sex casually and get hurt by it. That is the foolishness of liberalism.

The feminine orbits the masculine. That is why women feel the ick about men who chase them. The man is not supposed to orbit the woman. He cannot keep women whom he orbits, only the one who orbit him. Women want to orbit a strong man. It's that simple. This is why a man cannot chase. It makes him unworthy of orbiting.

I don't see the sword thing literally. She is just expressing that seeing strength in men viscerally turns her on. This is not misogyny or trauma, this is what turns women on. Women are attracted to strong men. Why wouldn't they be? It serves their survival. A woman would rather be with a cruel strong man than a nice weak man. She does not view the nice weak man as a sexual option.

Men certainly treat women unfairly and selfishly. It is obvious that HoeMath doesn't really understand the feminine point of view because he has been hurt by women. He does not have enough care for truth to care about their POV.
