There is some suffering from not finding the right woman. But also that suffering is self-created. Most of that suffering comes from buying into the idea that you need a woman.
It much depends on what you want out of life. Obviously if you want a family, if you want socialization, if you are extroverted, then you will suffer more from not having those things. This depends on your personality type.
I am not actively dating, but if it lands in my lap I will not say no.
I don't invest time into pursuing women at this point. This of course means I barely get women. But I might invest time into that in the future. My prioritizes change every year. Right now women are not my priority.
The reason I don't invest time in pursuing women now is because it holds less meaning for me than it used to. It's very obvious to me that no woman will ever satisfy me. I've sort of deconstructed the fantasy/illusion of women. It is clear that they are just cheese in a rat maze.
I still desire them, but I am also disillusioned with them. I am not opposed to relationships but I also don't spend much time dreaming for them.

None of this is to say you guys should copy me. I encourage you all to go burn through your karma and pursue your natural desires until you exhaust them. Don't try to act like a monk when you are full of unsatisfied desires. Being a monk should come organically, not be forced. Monk mode comes organically later in life once you've played out all the human games.

This work has nothing to do with superiority. You are merely seeking greater consciousness of God. If you do that seriously it will automatically make you superior. But that is irrelevant because Consciousness is the only thing that matters.
As an adult among children you know you are so superior that it doesn't even need to be said or thought.
This work will make you an adult among children, a lion among sheep, an eagle among pidgeons, a whale among fish, an alien among men.

@theoneandnone You can think of it as pure Goodness.
Imagine if Goodness existed as a pure abstraction.
Well, it does. That's what Infinity/Consciousness is.

@TheGod The human cannot take it.
It will kill the human if it goes too high. Physical existence is a limit on Love.
If you want Infinite Love that is death.
But you can get a sneak peak.

That's why monks live in seclusion.
Once you are deeply conscious society has little to offer you.

The day my life changed is when I realized my experience of reality is not happening in what I conceptualize as my “brain”. In fact I don’t have a head or a brain outside of what I conceptualize. Implications of this realization were as follows:
what i call my body became an appearance in reality, I could step outside of identifying with it for periods at a time. when my body become an appearance in reality, the distinction between it and everything else in reality collapsed. There was longer any difference between what I called “my” body and the body of “others”. Meaning the self - other distinction collapsed. The idea that I ever interacted with anything or anyone outside of present experience of reality was seen as an illusion. This ultimately brought me to the realization that the experience of reality is not happening inside of any container that I could label “me” (what I call “me”). The “me” I take myself to be possess nothing in reality- humans I call “my” parents, “my” career, “my” house, “my” lover etc. The absence of me/my is what makes reality / the experience of -infinite.  

Well, it is everywhere.
God is Omnipresent. But this technically even transcends space.
"Everywhere" is said loosely since "where" is a metaphysically loaded notion.

Well, it's nothing personal. It's just unconsciousness.
Is a rat bad for being a rat? No. That's just it's level of consciousness and it can't know any better. It's just a survival machine.
Humans are just survival machines and there's nothing personal about it.

LD50 of psychedelics is very high. People do not die from taking a moderate dose of psychedelic. Look up the LD50 for LSD to see how far you were from physical death.
Just because subjectively you felt like death does not mean your body was close to death.
The danger with psychedelics is not death but psychotic breaks.
To actually die from LSD your dose would need be 100x what you took. 500 tabs of LSD.

I prefer to keep things real.
Never forget that humans will eat you alive given the right circumstance. Your compassion will mean nothing to them. They will tear you apart like a pack of dogs.
I have no illusions about human nature.
Humans are evil, ignorant creatures.
It is not. The more god-like one behaves the more worshop one will get no matter what. Because humans worship God. This has nothing do with me.
Why do humans like me? Because I communicate godly things. That's also why they hate me.

No!
Stop parroting Ralston. Ralston is wrong and you are wrong for parroting him.
I only talk Absolute Consciousness.
I'm not talking about anything relative or even human here.
All your ideas of enlightenment are kids games.
You do not understand what God/Consciousness/Infinity is. I do.
There is no fucking brain. There is just God.
I am so conscious that I could shoot myself in the head and not die.
You do not understand what I am saying. You do not understand that your entire life is a hallucination, including your damn dog. You are parroting nondual tripe, but you are not conscious of God.

Bingo! You got it. That's pure Infinity.
But there is also consciousness which is advanced but not as simple as pure Infinity. That's worth exploring too.

Jews will not leave Israel. That is a useless pipe dream. The only shot is to reach some kind of compromise, otherwise Palestine will just cease to exist like Native American tribes.
The powerful eat the weak. This is how nature works. So the weak must capitulate to the powerful, shameful though that is.
Hamas are so suicidal they will lead to the extermination not only of themselves but all of Palestine. That is the stupidity of Hamas.

That's exactly the Orange stuff which I am talking about. He does that by design because his ego needs it.
Imagine if I was busy trying to befriend billionaires and celebrities. How twisted would my worldview be?
Owen is still chasing money, sex, power, status, fame, success, luxury, elitism. This distorts his spirituality and development. That stuff needs to be let go. Letting that stuff go is not optional because it is part of the illusion of Maya.
The reason I am able to get so high is because I let that go.

I would be for socialism if it worked. But socialism is hippie nonsense, so I am forced to be capitalist.
There is no choice about it. We are all capitalists. Even the craziest socialist is actually a capitalist. He's just in denial about it.
Capitalism isn't a choice. It's just nature.

Of course the corruption rubs off. You are not immune. But life is messy and dirty. You cannot be too moralistic as you are getting started. There will be some collateral damage to becoming successful and wise. Corruption will happen and then later you will undo it.
It's like solving a Rubik's Cube. You move some pieces into the right place at the cost of misaligning other pieces. There is no solving a Rubik's Cube perfectly.

This is not a correct attitude.
There is much to learn from even shady people. Especially when it comes to skills like dating, marketing, sales, business, investing, leadership, communication, self-defense, etc.
I easily learn from everyone. I learned a lot from Owen and I clearly see all his flaws. No problem.
Of course I am able to do that because of my deep epistemic foundations and commitment to truth. Without that, yeah, people get lost. But if you study my work seriously it will innoculate you against Owen-style corruption.
I can still learn new things from Owen in the Stage Orange domain he specializes in, because he has so much experience in it, more than me.
Learn from everyone. Trust no one.

Scamming is a mindset more than a legal category. Owen certainly has the mind of a scammer.
One of the dimensions of clinical narcissism is exploitation of others. That's why all these PUAs are scammers. It really means they are narcissists with the exploitation dimension. They see no problem exploiting women or men as long as they can get away with it.
Pickup is the exploitation of women for personal gain. So of course.
You guys are lucky that my exploitation score is zero. Otherwise you would be so fucked.

Obviously monks are very selfish people because they abandon everything for the highest joy.
The issue isn't selfishness but intelligence. How intelligent are you being with what you're chasing? The most intelligent people chase the highest things, the least intelligent people chase the lowest things.

China was a failure until it rejected Marxist economics and went with capitalist economics but kept its one party dicatorship. The economy of China is NOT what Marxists wanted nor predicted. Marxism was about eliminating free markets and private property. That did not happen because it cannot happen because that is a fantasy.
What China proves is that capitalist economics works very well to make a nation rich.

Right-wingers are incapable of genuine moral behavior because that requires consciousness and higher stages of development.
Stage Blue morality has always been a sham. And Stage Orange only values money, so you can't have morality there either.

EXACTLY! That is the key insight which nobody grasps!
You are incapable of understanding reality because nature is holding a gun to your head and you are too threatened and distracted.
It's not about luxury, it's about selfishness vs selflessness. You are too fucking selfish to understand reality. And from this one thing come ALL of your problems.

Contemplation and inquiry. By deep questioning and deconstruction of beliefs, ideologies, and fantasies. Through radical introspection. Through research. You can literally find anything you want on Google.
These are relative truths. Not all relative truths are knowable. But the truths about the working of your own mind, reality in general, are available.

Yes, of course.
It doesn't follow that you have to feel joy about it. Some truths are bitter-sweet or even revolting.
How you feel is independent from what is true. You may feel joy, you may feel hate, you may feel horror, you may feel sadness, you may feel nothing.
Most realistically, your mind will go through a range of conflicting emotions.
Remember, anger and hatred are acceptable and valid emotions. Just don't act them out on others.

There are no shoulds in the Universe. You can live as a total monster. The only reason not to is that it will probably backfire on you and create misery for yourself and others. And of course, it will restrict your consciousness.
There is no moral difference between a monster and a saint. But the monster will not know God/Truth/Love.
