Ultimately it's all relative. But some worldviews and models are better at explaining human behavior than others.
Developmental psychology is better at explaining human behavior than post-modernism. Of course a post-modernist would disagree. But nothing says we have to care about their disagreement.
Post-modernism wants to say that all perspectives are equal. But that just isn't the case. Some are more accurate.

Lack of thought is not necessarily a good thing, despite what the Buddhists would have you believe.

I have since reached much higher Awakening. That video is years old.
Pretty much. But you don't have to reach the highest to get a lot of value out of this work. It's the journey not the destination. Don't be too in a rush. Enjoy the whole process of investigating Consciousness. It's all good stuff. And all your lowest awakenings will still be awesome. You don't need the highest right off the bat.

You see your visual field changing all the time. Now just remove time from that. Allow it to change but within Eternity rather than time. Just strip time from your experience. Pretend like you grew up but never learned what time was.

Depends on how you define "normal". The normal human life is full of lies. So of course that will not work. But you can still enjoy things like travel, friendship, fun, education, self-development, etc. With moderation.

Go to yoga classes and other New Age activities to find more spiritual girls.
Although I've found even strippers and prostitutes who are heavy into spirituality. So they are out there.
23 is very young though. Girls that age tend to be shallow.

It's just not very effective for me. I think its effectiveness varies greatly from person to person. One of the things I hate about all these spritual teachings is how they assume that they are effective across the board for everyone. And then they blame you if it isn't effective on you. It's all very unscientific.

You don't need to keep a girl consistently swept off her feet to get her to be your exclusive girlfriend. You can even be abusive to girls and most of them will still stick around for a long time. When a girl is seriously attracted to you she will put up with a lot of shit before she leaves.
For me, keeping a girl around and loyal to me is effortless. I don't "work" at it. It just happens. The biggest thing I have to do is to make sure I'm too not brutually honest or critical of her, because girls cannot take it and take everything personally.

Long before anyone will ever Awaken, they need love from others around them. People who don't receive love will never make it to Awakening.
One of the reasons for all my success in this field is that I had the most loving mother in the world. This allowed me to be ruthless in my pursuit of Truth. Without love you will be too weak to pursue Truth. That's like asking a starving man to pursue academia.

Nice strawman.
Being a CEO requires balls, not tits.
You underplay their value. Not just $10 but $1000s of dollars. Free food. Free cars. Free vacations. Free medicine. Job offers. etc.
A girlfriend of mine got a free Mercedes SUV from a billionaire working in a hotel. A free brand new fucking Mercedes! Just for being a girl. She didn't even sleep with him! Now she drives that Mercedes to my house to sleep in my bed.
Of course it won't get you serious power.
A pair of tits is not worth billions of dollars. But it is worth tens to hundreds of thousands. Maybe even millions if you play it right.
For a waitress, a boob job will pay for itself within a year. That's just how the world works. So yes, it is nice to be a girl sometimes.

Excellent interconnected, sprawling talk by a channeled entity named Bashar.
Topics include everything from the nature of consciousness and advanced alien technology to life purpose and shifting beliefs:

The nice thing is that others are effectively real at the normal human level of consciousness. They only lose their realness at higher levels. So if you want others, just stay at the human level and stop torturing yourself with lofty metaphysical ideas.
But if you want Awakening, then you will have to confront some difficult truths and madness is part of that. Consciousness at its higher levels does veer into madness. You gotta enjoy that sorta thing. It's an acquired taste. Personally, I find solipsism profoundly beautiful. But this requires a proper framing of it. If you frame it as bad then you can't see its beauty.
It's funny why people are so desperate for everything to be "real", when it's much better that everything is imaginary. It's better that everything is a dream. Waking up requires an appreciation of dreams. Yes you're dreaming, but that IS reality, and that's great. You gotta start treating life like a divine game, full of fun tricks.

You gotta realize that all human stupidity has a deep intelligence behind it. People are stupid for good reasons. No exceptions.
And remind yourself that reality is Perfect. To hold reality as imperfect is itself you being stupid. So now you got something in common with everyone else

Well, I have a massive book to write, which will be my highest contribution to mankind in the area of philosophy.
But then I was thinking of something related to digital art and motion graphics.
It's not clear yet how far Actualized.org should go. I cannot predict anything at this point. I have to be open to wherever God directs me.

My visuals don't get that crazy. But yeah, if you smoke enough of it things get impossibly weird. I have seen geometric objects which simply cannot exist in 3D space. At that point the trip becomes traumatizing to the human psyche. It will scare the shit out of you.

It's hard to know what you mean by that.
But basically, YES. I've had awakenings like that. This ALL has the quality of no form whatsoever, because it is a superposition of all possible things. This would be the Godhead or pure Infinity. You are conscious of every possible thing that could exist at once. But you are not conscious of anything in particular. That ALL is a pure metaphysical abstraction. So don't expect it to have any form. It is not like seeing a billion TV screens at once. It is more like a singularity of pure awareness.

Yes, your first 500 approaches will be pretty cringe. Just get them out of the way as smoothly as you're able.
Your vibe is like 90% of your results. So the reason you're getting these bad reactions is because your vibe is off, your subcommunication is off, you're tense, you're afraid, you're insecure, you're not smiling, you don't feel good in your body, your verbals are awkward, you're not smooth, and you don't know how to lead the conversation well.
All of that improves with practice. Don't beat yourself up.
One of the best ways to improve is watch as much in-field hidden video as possible. Or get a wingman who can demo it for you. You need to see what a smooth approach looks like and sounds like.

I have literally paid my wingmen to record their approaches and give me the audio files. So I can study them.

AI is clearly gonna happen in the future. So there's no use worrying about it. Rather just make the best of your life.
How is worrying about AI gonna help you?
The nice thing about doing your passion is that it is its own reward. If you make great music, people will still consume it. Don't forget, most musicians make their money from touring and doing live shows. You could have said 50 years ago that all musicians would be out of business because CDs and radio was invented. However, musicians are making billions doing live performances. Why do people pay $200 for a ticket to see a musician when they could just stream the song for free on YouTube? There is more to life than just pure mechanical efficiency. Especially in the arts. People want a connection with their favorite artists.

Here are two ways to handle:
1) Sit her down and tell her this: If I am dating a girl, I am not okay with her flirting with other guys. So if a guy comes up to you and starts to flirt with you, you need to shut him down within the first 30 seconds. You tell him, "Sorry, but I have a boyfriend." If I see that you are flirting with guys beyond this, we are breaking up. This is what I require from my girlfriend. If you are not comfortable with this then no hard feelings but we are not going to work out. So take some time to think about it and let me know your decision. I will be okay with whatever decision you make. I have no desire to control you, but if you are want to be my girlfriend then I expect it to be exclusive.
2) Just stop caring. Surrender your desire to control her. Let her do whatever she wants and you work on being a stronger man who isn't needy but detached. This should make her even more attracted to you.

1) It's okay. Just keep faking it till you get some results. As you get results your neediness will slowly dissolve. In the meantime just try to act as chill as you can. Jerking off helps a lot here.
2) Yes, you can invite her straight to your house. The odds will be something like 50% max that she will come over. But you don't lose much by trying as long as you do it in a non-creepy way. A better way is to tell her to drive to your house and that you will drive her out for an ice cream. This is a much smarter way.

It's not different than any other date. You have a coffee, you stroll around, you do physical escalation, you invite her over to watch a movie, you start making out.
You should get a sense of what her plans are for the rest of her day if it's early in the day. You want to make sure her evening is free. Screening for these logistical detail is probably the biggest key. You have to manage the time well.

It is true that personal development can turn into a grind after a while. I have definitely fallen into that trap in the past. So you have to be careful not to just turn your life into an endless treadmill of more and more personal development goals. You gotta relax and have some fun too.
You can try not doing personal development for 6 months and see how you feel after that. That should renew your passion for it.
Life requires variety. You can't just do the same thing every day for 10 years.
