But mah IdEaLizm!!! *surprised Pikachu face*

Why would you attach such an absurd assumption to idealism? Just because Super Mario is a video game character does not mean he can walk through walls or do whatever he wants.

Sounds like you could use that to become a great consultant or manager.

Yes, but you'd have to really operate outside the box to actualize it. The funding and capitalization of conscious human activity is very important. The problem is how to do it amidst a sea of wolves and devils.

What is there to understanding? Suffering keeps you alive.

He was a drug addict in the late 60's in San Francisco along with the Hippie movement. Psychedelics made him turn to Zen.

So... duality it is then? God and not-God

@Swarnim This kind of egoic agressiveness is counter-productive. Slow down, cultivate patience, practice self-love/self-compassion, and enjoy the journey. You are in too much of a rush to awaken.

Those 1.5% are a huge fucking deal. It's hard for me to eat a bowl of grapes without wanting to gag from the sweetness. Nothing nautural about eating grapes all day. Your body naturally tells you when you eat too much sugar. It starts tasting gross.

Definitely do a DMSA-provoked urine test. I will in the future.

Mankind has evolved far away from its days in the African jungle. You are not some bonobo.

If you are an ectomorph, of course. If you eat a whole foods based diet it's hard to get fat. Getting fat mostly comes from eating processed foods which are super calorie dense, nutrient dense, and addictive. Like cookies. Most fat people eat junk food. That's why they fat. And most of that junk food is refined carbs.

Drink a cup of mercury and see how awake you'll be. If you got mercury, lead, or arsinic in your brain you ain't ever waking up. You won't be able to meditate for 3 minutes.

I've actually been hit on by men. Yeah, it's awkward turning them down. You make it sound like being born a hot women is a curse. Lol

@4201 Yeah, keep telling yourself that donkeys are awake. If donkeys are awake then so is your asshole.

Of course. Because all they do is whine and make excuses for inaction. The point of my replies in this thread was to make such guys realize how good they have it.

You will sing a different tune when you get your wish and no man wants you. Bull. You don't want to be left alone, you want men to be attracted to you. Yes, you can't be attractive while only attracting the best. Your wish to be attractive and only attract those people who you approve of. Well, tough. You should experience what its like to never be approached at all. And beyond that, rejected hundreds of times.

You can get skinnier on an ice cream and bacon diet. If you eat less calories than you burn in a day. Eating 2500 calories of fruits per day is not so easy. And fruit carbs are way better and less calorie dense than refined carbs. If you are replacing Standard American Diet with fruits, of course you will lose weight and be healthier. You are going from more carbs to less carbs.

The point of this thread is that men are luckier than women, because it's easier for a man to raise his sexual value. Takes lots of work though. Exceptionally physically good-looking men and women alike get special treatment. This has always been the case and will always be the case. It is like being born to a millionaire family. It is a rare gift that lands in your lap. And if you get it, you will certainly use it to advance your survival.

Again, tell this to a donkey. And see how much difference it makes. You are overlooking the obvious. And who gives a damn if it gives you hippie feelings or not. Reality is brutal and it does not care about being fair to you.

You didn't really ask any clear questions. So how can you expect to get clear answers? You just sort of rambled on about your life. To get quality advice you must ask quality questions. Yes, this is good and you should pursue that. Build your life. Build a custom life that suits you. If sounds like you need basic self-help work more than spiritual work. Ground yourself in real life and discipline yourself to create material results.

How I feel is irrelevant to the matter.

It's bad

No, because there are psychedelics. Which is exactly the point. You can also modify your DNA and so forth. And you still have that 5% techniques. Don't dismiss that. You can do a lot with 5% if you really want to. Awakening is really a technology problem. Gurus don't ever mention this factor.
