Sempiternity

I think my life is significant, since it's my life, obviously. From the perspective of God, it's not as significant. As you say "Infinite forms, infinitely incarnated, infinitely experienced, infinitely reabsorbed", that explains death, but not how God comes back to a single life once that life is completely gone?

And I get that you, as a human don't know you will be able to come back and have to take a leap of faith, but what about when God is fully realized, how does God come back to a single life if that life if gone?

So every time one take a psychedelic they have to basically go into it as they are committing suicide? And if you are able to come back, that's just icing on the cake.

When one take a high dose of a psychedelic to induce full absolute Godhead, how do they know they are not entering into full Mahasamadhi? What makes one come back vs stay in the infinite godhead? Is every time you do this a Russian Roulette of one of the times you pull the trigger, that will be it and you're not coming back?

https://bgr.com/2021/02/17/life-after-death-proof-for-1-million-dollars-las-vegas-businessman-competition/ Robert Bigelow’s Institute for Consciousness Studies is awarding almost $1 million for an essay on life after death. Application deadline is (February 28) I know you can't prove to someone else what happens after death, as it has to be experienced from direct experience, but if anyone could explain Nonduality well enough, that's about as good as anyone could do.

Lol, yes that's basically it. If you show love to everyone around you, not just showing attention to those you're attracted to, many opportunities will present themselves naturally. I wish you the best of luck sir.

How is peacefulness unhealthy stage Green?

I do not know you, so would not assume to pass any judgements. Being a good Man isn't a means to an end, it is the way to be in life. Connecting with Women isn't about manipulation. If you are a legitimately a good person, Women will want to be around you. It's really that simple.

If you recontectualize reality to Nonduality, then everything is You. There's no difference from a rock, a tree, or a person. It's all consciousness, dreamstuff. In Leo's video on Self Love, he talked about self love is learning to love all of the Self, meaning all of reality equally. Then you are full of love, as you are in love with everything. If you can reach that, you will never be lonely.

This logic hurts my head. Maybe no girls are attracted to you, because you're a (self-proclaimed) douche? Just a hunch. Try being a good Man and see how that works for you.

Take a large dose of 5-MEO. It'll happen whether you want it to or not.

Peacefulness is the best defense. I've found people who act violently are wanting a reaction to justify their response. If met with no resistance, peacefulness, it usually defuses the situation. I've tested this many times, and it works. Had a crazed crackhead come at me, and I defused the situation by talking him down, and standing strong and showing no fear. Of course this wouldn't always work, as some people are sadistic and enjoy hurting others, so peacefulness would only make hurting you easier for them. But, I find with most cases, bruised Egos, peacefulness will most always defuse any situation. With nothing to push against, the other side deflates.

Evidence of the past is a memory. Memories are thoughts. Thoughts can only happen Now. If you didn't think of it, the past wouldn't exist, as the past can only exist as a thought.

All good points, thanks for the clarifications.

I did master each career, that's precisely why I moved on from each. I felt I had done everything there was to do, feeling complete and satisfied, leading to a desire to master another endeavor. Just doing some rudimentary math, if you spend roughly 8 hours a day, every day of the year, doing something you're passionate about, it would only take about 3.5 years to master that craft. So for me, 5 years is a great amount of time to master a craft and fully enjoy everything that craft has to offer.

Sorry Leo, but this is such an old antiquated (80s) view of gay men. At least where I live, which a large portion of the population is gay, most gay men are strong, muscular, self-confident and capable. If any gay-bashing bro messed with them, they'd most definitely regret it. I'm sure other places can be different, but I stand by my statement that your views on gay men are honestly insulting.

Was a director of a company that employed people with disabilities. Left that and started a leather fashion company. Left that and become a professional touring circus performer. Left that and became a writer, specializing in nonduality fiction stories. I like to mix things up and try new life purposes.

Don't know where you're getting that from. Most guys I know use it, and it's common place at most any age nowadays. Makes a huge difference in sex for men. If you're not using it because you think it's only for 65 yr olds, you're missing out.

This is amazing, thank you so much! I'm diving into all of this. Would love to see more quality posts like this on this forum.

Thank you for sharing! Great report. if you do it again, fast beforehand so you have nothing in your stomach. So no chance of puking during ceremony.

I find for most men, the sensitivity is a balancing act. If you're worried about keeping an erection, you may use some mental gymnastics to increase your sensitivity to maintain your erection, but this can lead to cuming too soon. It also goes in the other direction, if you're getting too sensitive, you can play mental gymnastics to decrease your sensitivity, but this draws your mind away from your partner leading to disconnect. I suggest using a cialis pill before having sex. That way it takes the balancing act of your erection and sensitivity out of the equation. Letting you be fully present with your partner.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into these.

I have a friend that is 35, good looking guy, and on the spiritual path, but utterly clueless when it comes to women and dating. I give him advice, but he could really benefit from some more formal education on the subject. Any books recommendations that I could buy for him as a gift that could get him more effective in the modern dating world (especially online dating, as that's pretty much what it's been reduced to in today's pandemic world). Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

No, no one can answer your questions in a satisfying way, because it can't be explained by language. Stop asking and find out for yourself. Do the practices, work towards an Awakening, and you'll have all the understanding you could ever dream of.
