Dealing with people is tough and takes experience, skill, and mastery. However, it really has little to do with awakening. The deepest spiritual work is not about dealing with people. It's about waking up. And dealing with people is a distraction from that, even though dealing with people can certainly grow you. It will not awaken you. This is the whole problem with all spiritual communities. The people there are not awake because they are wasting all their time dealing with endless human bullshit. The most awake people are those who spend a lot of time alone. I agree, it is impressive, however, it has nothing to do with awakening per se. You can find CEOs who are really impressive with dealing with people. So what?

Do not turn this into a thread about Sadhguru. If you want to discuss Sadhguru, start a new thread.

No Well, you need to work with a doctor on that. Could be all sorts of stuff. Lots of testing is required.

You should try a strict elimination diet. Try eating something very neutral like chicken and rice, or oatmeal for a whole week or month and see if it eliminates the pain and bloating. It should. Then slowly start testing other foods to figure out which foods are triggering the problem. If you have bloating and gas I doubt your SIBO is gone.

Yes. This work is about feeling deeper, not becoming a Terminator. Don't bypass your feelings. FEEL them. This requires courage, strength, and consciousness. Feeling does mean you have to act on them or be reactive or create bunch of drama. Of course

I made a series just for you: How To Get Laid - Parts 1, 2, 3. Watch it, then do it. Online dating is trash unless you look really good. P.S. You should move out from under your parents and live your own life.

It wasn't a solo retreat. He was living in the middle of a jungle in a tent. Cafes, Lol. I was speaking relatively.

1) Where did you get the idea that Ralston is an extrovert? He has spent a lot time alone. You just have no idea. At one point in his life he lived by himself in the jungle in Hawaii. If you think Ralston needs people to be happy, you don't understand Ralston. Sadhguru runs a gigantic organization. He's busy 24/7. Of course he is with people a lot. But I'd bet he would also have no problem being alone for years on end. There is a big difference between what Ralston and Sadhguru are doing and the way Teal uses her inner circle for emotional support. There is a difference between being around people and not needing them for your happiness vs keeping people around to support you emotionally, and if they leave you want to kill yourself. The issue is one of attachment vs detachment. You can be around people in a detached way and it's no problem. Or you can get very attached to people to the point where it destroys you when they leave. This is a problem. 2) Introverts like to be around people too. It's not like an introvert will be satisfied all alone. Introverts socialize, they just do it on a difference scale. 3) My work is primary online. I don't run a spiritual retreat center.

That will depend on what kind of gut issues you have. The DMSA and supplements might irritate your gut. Not sure what else. There could probably be other issues but generally I think it's safe.

My ex-gf had Asperger's. She was pretty chill and easy to get along with, although she had problems with people at work. She was actually easier to get along with intimately than most girls, who are drama queens. Asperger's tamps down the feminine chaos. At least that was my impression with her.

You cannot define consciousness because anything you define it with is consciousness.

It's even funnier when it's not a joke

Breakup is a chemical state. You will not be able to just ignore it through meditation. You have to feel it and let the chemicals work through your body for a few weeks. There are also lessons there for you to learn. You will experience suffering any time you invest a lot of yourself into a thing and then lose it. Be careful using spirituality to avoid feeling feelings. Don't bypass the feeling of loss.

This is so silly. By definition, when they are alone you never see them. By your logic Sadhguru never takes a shit because you've never seen him shitting.

Push yourself into that awakened state when you are in those low-confidence situations. You won't be anywhere near perfect, but it should help. Keep doing it over and over again until you grow more spine.

I mentioned this point in my The Top Dangers Of Psychedelics video. Make sure you watch that one before you go tripping your balls off.

I'd guess it's a problem. Removing amalgams requires using a dentist who specializes in that. The DMSA will pull that mercury into your body. That's the risk.

I don't think an introvert can be in that state most of the time. 1) I completely turn off my mind. No thinking. No planning. 2) I consciously make myself very relaxed in my body and comfortable. Very present. 3) I force myself to approach lots of people and talk a lot. 4) Having fun friends around you helps A LOT. And then I talk shit with them. 5) Getting a few bad rejections helps build state by showing rejection doesn't matter. 6) I go to the dance floor and dance and enjoy the music. 7) Build momentum throughout the night by constantly approaching and talking. 8) DMT It's much harder because you won't have enough interactions and there is no music, no friends, etc. But during the day I find that state is much less important/needed. Just be chill and friendly and not anxious. If you go out a lot for night game, you can easily carry some of that momentum/state over into day game from the previous night out. This is usually what I did. Day game is actually a lot easier than night game because if the girl stops, you have her complete attention and you don't need to be some high-energy dancing monkey. You can just have a nice long calm conversation. You can't really have those kind of conversations in loud busy clubs. State is more important for loud, intimidating clubs where everyone but you is drinking and dancing with large groups of friends.

The core problem with using others to meet your needs is that others are inherently selfish and unreliable, and so you will never be satisfied. There will also tend to be a very strong drive to manipulate others in order to get them to meet your needs in the ways you want. Which is exactly the problem we see in the Teal documentary. And even deeper core problem is that others are imaginary, so who are you kidding? Self-reliance is an important value in this work. Don't use others do things you can do for yourself. You shouldn't need others to emotionally ground you because you can do that for yourself. Telling your employees that they cannot have children or spouses because you need them to emotionally support you -- this is the problem of Teal's approach.

Yeah, ego death is not a great term. Awakening / God-realization is a much better term, and is the highest goal.

Good. What you discovered is called STATE. State is the key to game. But now you need to learn how to enter state without drinking. It is more challenging but it can be learned. That's where the magic happens. Build up your state each night until you give 0 fucks. Then you will hook lots of girls, and the hottest girls. You are basically learning how to enter extroversion, where you are completely out of your head. Extroverts can turn on state instantly. Introverts require lots of training.

Any verbals work when said from the right place, in the right context. It's not meant to be a pickup line. You should not be approaching girls and telling them you got a small dick. That's just creepy as fuck. You should only say it rarely, when it fits the situation and when it would be funny. Otherwise you will come off as trying too hard. Be careful with sexual jokes. They require skill to pull off. If you do it wrong you will creep girls out and instantly blow yourself out. Use them very sparingly and with taste. Don't turn them into a routine. For newbies my advice: don't talk about sexual stuff AT ALL. Stay classy.

Of course being a loner can be dysfunctional, however so can needing others to make you feel complete, loved, and grounded. A healthy balance must be struck. And when it comes to spiritual work, the most serious work is best done alone. The problem is that other people will distract you from awakening with their human bullshit.

For me they make it harder. But it will vary.

This isn't a humility issue. I'm super introverted, but I have taught myself to go out to dumb clubs and just have fun with dumb friends on a dumb level. Learn how to party. You can learn to put yourself into extroverted states. It's good for ya. Also good for getting girls and making friends.
