Leo Gura

Hard to say. Haven't contemplated that.

I don't know if there was a last straw. I've had hundreds of awakenings which gradually revealed various facets of the core truth that everything is my own mind. I would not have been able to realize it without psychedelics. But also the psychedelic itself is not enough, you gotta seriously question and deconstruct everything. In the end you realize that you are an Infinite Mind, and that's what reality is. This Infinite Mind can have no ground or outside of any kind since it is absolutely sovereign. An infinity of Gods only exists in your Mind. If you want to really be real for a moment, realize that nothing outside your mind has ever existed, nor will ever exist. You can claim till you're blue in the face that Leo is dreaming you, but in absolute fact all you ever have is you dreaming Leo, and this will never be otherwise. If you say that Leo is dreaming you, you are dreaming that Leo is dreaming you. Which is just your dream. You can try all sorts of clever ways to weasel your way out of this, but it will always just be your dream. You will never find anything within existence other than you.

That might be a small piece of it, but your level of development is a much bigger and deeper thing than some one verbal relationship technique will shift. Obviously you should practice conscious relationship techniques and conscious communication techniques. But that's really the icing on the cake. The cake is how emotionally reactive you are, how your identity is constructed, what traumas you carry, what needs you haven't satisfied yet, your level of openmindedness, your ability to listen to another's POV, etc. Emotional reactivity is a huge factor. Most people will get triggered so hard by relationship conflicts that they will not be able to sustain any kind of conscious communication technique. All the techniques will fly out the window as soon as the girl denies you the sex you expected, or she starts acting crazy, etc.

I would never assign such a toxic label to myself. I certainly started out being totally clueless with attracting women. I still struggle to attract the kind of women I like because my standards are very high, but I understand the attraction process very well now. My game is decent, it's not great. Game is not my strength. You can grow massively within a few years of serious going out and approaching.

Actually, yes, that is the core of the best game. You are gaming them too hard. Eventually you will realize that gaming women is really not necessary. You just approach and screen them for which ones are into you. You don't try to manipulate them into liking you. The best game is totally natural and effortless. Not try-hard.

Yes, of course compassion makes business and survival harder. Which is why plenty of the best business leaders are sociopaths and narcissists. The rate of narcissism among corporate executives is way higher than the average population. This is no accident. With that said, don't turn this into a limiting belief. You can create conscious and healthy businesses. It's just harder than a low consciousness business. Also, you have to learn how to turn off your compassion in some contexts and you gotta learn masculine forms of compassion which are more brutal. If you are too compassionate it will serve you to force yourself to be uncompassionate. Then you can find a healthy middle ground and use compassion only in the right contexts. If you want to be a billionaire, being a sociopath is extremely helpful. The good news is, no one needs to be a billionaire to be happy.

There is no universe. There is only your Mind. What you call the universe is just a dream within your Mind.

When you truly awaken there won't be any other minds. You are not yet conscious that you are imagining them.

1) You are too immature to say such things congruently. 2) This only works with the right girl, a highly developed girl. 3) Pickup and dating is not the same thing as a serious relationship and marriage. You don't say stuff like that to some 20 year old slut you pull from the club. A) I'll believe it when I see it. B) Exception that proves the rule. It's not just verbal technique that's required to pull something like that off. Your core level of ego development needs to be high, and this cannot be faked with some simple technique. A relationship will really test your level of embodiment of consciousness. To do relationships like that you'd have to change your core identity. No. Most girls would not be capable of this. She must have an established baseline of serious development. Even many Green and spiritual girls would be way too immature and way too emotionally reactive to handle conscious communication like that. That's well and good. Good for you.

1) Verbals really hinge on state. If you hit peak state your verbals will automatically get much better. But this requires that you be disciplined about hitting state each night. 2) Your verbals will improve automatically, but slowly. To speed up the process you should listen to good verbals and generate your own verbals at home. Not as canned lines per se, but you want to get good at developing fun things to say. You can practice this a bit each day at home. Try coming up with 2 fun lines each night and write them down in your database. Then experiment with saying them. Over time you will build up a memory bank of good lines and you will also develop the skill to improve fun new lines on the fly. 3) More than working on your verbals you need to work on relaxing in the environment and really letting loose and having fun. You need to genuinely relax and have fun when you are out. This will auto-correct many problems, including verbals. Your verbals will be 10x better when you are genuinely relaxed, comfortable, and having fun. Anxiety is killing your verbals.

There is good science that shows that you definitely can grow new neurons. In fact, I just read an article this week about how mushrooms have been shown to help with neurogenesis.

I would be more concerned about kidding yourself in such matters. You're not as developed as you think you are. It's not impossible. But it takes work. Such a relationship will never just happen by accident. Which is why it impressed you so much. It's like seeing someone juggle 10 daggers. You can learn to do it too, but will you?

Well, they live desperate lives but they don't know any higher way so they are stuck. They also have no clue the beauty they are missing out on.

Realistically not. You'd need to find two people who are both in the top 0.001% of development and consciousness. It's basically impossible without being super developed. 99.99% of people couldn't do it even if they wanted to. And they don't even want to. You might say you want it, but: A) Your selfishness will make it impossible, B) You don't want to make the sacrifices and work necessary for such a relationship. Instead you'd rather just have fun and have your needs met. - - - - - I'm not at a point in my development where I feel I would be fully capable of such a relationship. It would take me more development work. In my 40s I will be capable of it.

@thisintegrated Most people don't even know there is anything above Orange.

Go for it

@Blackhawk You have no clue what you are.

The only way that's gonna work is if your partner is as super developed as you are. Both gotta be at Tier 2. And there has to be a deep core compatibility between you two. And basically you're talking about a couple that's in their 40s. There's no way that's gonna fly in your 20s and probably not even in your 30s. People are just too immature for that sort of thing at that age. Core maturity is a huge factor. An immature person is incapable of conscious relationship and conscious communication.

Lots of people chase money and women their whole lives and never get to Green. So it's not so automatic. But we have talked a lot about exhausting stages. Especially see my video: Burning Through Karma

No-self is way more than just an insight. No-self actually requires loss of a sense of self. Imagine that you simply forgot the self is even a thing. That's would be true realization of no-self. Right now you are just holding no-self as an idea. Notice, a coffee table cannot even conjure up the idea of a self. That's true no-self. What is a self anyway?

@Preety_India Personally I don't like the label narcissist and I rarely use it. Because to me narcissism is just a strong form of selfishness which is the human condition. And yes, demonization of selfishness is itself selfish and self-defeating. It's actually pretty easy to empathize with a narcissist if you observe your own selfishness and self-bias. What is really the difference between him and you? It's a matter of degree.

The core problem is that a person cannot change unless they really desire to change intrinsically. Most narcissists don't see their narcissism as a problem, so changing them becomes impossible. But if a narcissist developed a desire to change, they could change. Trump is a good example. If he desired to change he could stop doing all the shit he does.

Life is too easy up there

It's not lower IQ, it's just a different orientation and set of values, needs, priorities, strengths, ways of information process, and interfacing with reality. When it comes to dealing with people and taking care of children, women are way more intelligent than most guys. That's what the female mind is wired for. It's not wired for inventing gadgets or doing logic.

Economic outlook is bad right now. That was before we had a bad economic outlook, inflation, gas prices, and supply shortages. Things have changed. Trump has a serious chance of winning now. I also overestimated how Republicans would distance themselves from Trump. Instead they have doubled down on MAGA nonsense. They are completely ethically and intellectually bankrupt. The only thing that they will listen to is raw power and strict law enforcement. They have no shame nor standards any more. If they are legally allowed to steal an election they will do it without qualms.
