Yes, but at least it's kensho. When I go to these spiritual communities people there have no idea what awakening is or that they should even be pursuing it. In practice all the human stuff is a huge distraction. If you really wanted kensho you wouldn't be around people to get it. The desire to be around people is a dream. Enjoy it, but don't fool yourself that you're waking up.

There are so many hot girls in Vegas that you're not really competing with anyone. Your only enemy is yourself not approaching. There are a lot of good-looking guys in Vegas. Many guys are ripped as fuck at those pool parties. But not many guys know how to approach hot girls consistently so it's not a big deal. Train your mind to not even think about competition. Just do your approaches.

Don't not confuse niceness with consciousness. The most essential spiritual question is: How conscious are you? Don't muddle it up with human bullshit.

Try to find a doc who is into functional medicine. holistic medicine, and specializes in GI issues. That's what I use.

Dude, you need to get in touch with why you're going on a date at all. If you see a cute girl then you gotta leverage your desire for her. Do you want to fuck her or not? If not, then don't pursue it. If yes, then what more motivation do you need? Use your sexual desire to drive the whole interaction. Be very clear with yourself about your intent. You're not there for social games. Immediately get to business. Cut out all the bullshit and time-wasting. Your mind should be on sleeping with her. A date is one of the few contexts where thinking with your dick is a good idea. INTENT is a hugely important aspect of game. Work on your intent.

I see him out in Vegas clubs pretty often. He definitely surrounds himself with plenty of hot fake LA-style girls and he get access to the DJ backstage areas easily. Whether he can teach you to do what he does, I'm not sure. I don't know how scalable it is. From what I understand his programs are very expensive. I'm sure you can learn something from him. I know a guy in Vegas who gets insane results from elite social circle. He's slept with 1000+ girls. It's way more effective than cold approach. But also, it's like a full-time job for him. You have to be managing that social circle all the time. Is that really what you want? For some guys it's what they want. The bottom line is that if you want exceptional results you're gonna have to put in exceptional effort. You should expect a whole lifestyle shift to make something like that work.

1) Stop looking at girls on Instagram. Most of it is fake, and I don't even mean plastic, I mean photoshop and silly filters. It's just making you feel bad with fakeness. 2) The problem is that at some point you're gonna have to accept your look whatever it is, and aging too. So you're playing a losing battle. 3) Fillers seem pointless to me. If you're gonna do plastic surgery then at least do something permanent like a nose or boob job. Those can be done well if done right, in a subtle way. And they can even improve your self-esteem. Just be careful not to take it too far. 4) Of course girls who use their looks for money will try to optimize everything because it easily pays for itself. If you're even just a waitress a boob job will pay for itself in higher tips within a few years. And if you're a stripper or model it will pay for itself within a month. So it's a no-brainer for those kind of girls.

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.
