Because you are dreaming that you're a human. And humans are limited.
If you were not dreaming, there wouldn't be any human life at all. There would be nothing. And you are attached to dreaming. You call the end of dreaming "death" and so you avoid it at all costs.

No, intellect is an aspect of consciousness. Consciousness is intelligent.
I have a video called What Is Intelligence?
It's hard to define. But intellect is that aspect of conscious which is understanding and making sense of this communication right now. Right now you are understanding me. You might be tempted to dismiss that as "just concepts", but something way more profound is happening than that. The Universe is literally understanding itself as you listen to me talk. This requires extraordinary intelligence.
We might say that intelligence is a holistic, high-level self-comprehension which transcends concepts & symbols, but also makes use of concepts and symbols.
Without intelligence you couldn't open a can of Coke.
God-realization is similar to opening a can of Coke, but it's a can that requires infinite intelligence to open. The only one who can open this can is God itself, because only God posses sufficient intelligence to do it. You can't understand what you are without intelligence. Which is why just sitting in meditation is not God-realization. When a dog sits in silence it is not grasping what it is or what reality is. It may have a perfectly still mind, but it has no clue what's going on in the metaphysical sense. It doesn't understand where it came from or why it exists. Nor does it even have enough intelligence to care about such things.
Just to ask existential questions like "Why is there something rather than nothing?" or "Where did I come from?" requires extraordinary intelligence which even many scientists lack. The depth of these matters is not being understood by most human minds.
So what I teach is how to access the highest levels of intelligence which are necessary to fully grasp the nature of reality and self.

Not 8hrs.
More like 3 hrs.
I'd show up at 11pm-2am in most US cities. In Vegas it would be from 12 or 1am to 4am.
What you do is hang out with your friends (hopefully you find some wings) and approach girls. Not 100 approaches but more like 10-20. Your goal is to hook a set and spend a lot of time in set with the girl. So ideally you spend most of your time engaged in conversation with a girl and having fun with her, then bouncing her out of the club. The point is not to be in the club till closing time, the point is to find a girl to bounce out with as soon as you can. If you can find one by 12am, then you leave at 12am. Otherwise you stay till it closes.
Also, the point is not to approach many girls, the point is to hook one girl. You approach until something hooks well. Then you work that set all night long. In the end you're just looking for one girl who likes you and is down for fun.
Alternatively you can collect a bunch of phone numbers. Then your sets will be pretty short and you will do more approaching.

I'm not saying you got out-competed per se. I'm just saying that attractive girls can afford to act nonchalant, picky, and flaky. They often don't need a good reason to ignore or reject you because they know some new guy will come along soon.
I slept with a girl who was brand new in town once. She barely knew anybody expect her aunt and uncle. The night after I slept with her, I drove her home, and in her house was already sitting her aunt and uncle with some random dude they found for this girl to date. He was sitting there patiently waiting for her as I drove her up. Unfortunately for him, in the car I told my girl that she should suck this dude's dick. Which basically blew him out with her. That poor dude had no idea that his sweetheart had already fucked a player on 1st date from a random approach at the mall.

All my wings are shorter than me and get laid more than me.
One of my wings recently got a threesome. He's 5'4". He makes out with girls taller than him all the time. He got a BJ in the bathroom from a girl with a bf 30 minutes after meeting her in the casino. He's got great game and girls love him. He's also non-white and bald.
Why does he get laid more than me?
Why is he not using height as an excuse?
Why does he give me tips on how to improve my game and I listen?

@Husseinisdoingfine Don't get ahead of your skiis buddy. Give yourself a good 10 years to figure out spirituality. You don't need the highest fucking teaching at 19.
Relax and enjoy learning about life. Enjoy building a good life for yourself.

Then text her this: "??"
BTW, one mistake you made is trying to set a date on the weekend. Girls will flake the most on Fri & Sat when they are busy hanging out with friends & family. You should try to set dates for Mon, Tue, Wed -- the slowest nights of the week. Then there is less chance that her friends will grab her attention away from you.
She will always prioritize her friends over you until you have sex with her.
So the reason she's not texting you back and the reason why you won't get a date this weekend is because she is busy with her friends and you didn't think through the logistics of that properly. You should have been eyeing Mon-Wed from the beginning. And what's more, you should not set dates for Fri & Sat because those are the days you always go out to talk to more girls! Don't sacrifice your best nights out (Fri & Sat) for a date that will flake anyway. This is a rookie mistake. Thurs, Fri, Sat is for getting numbers. Mon-Wed is for doing dates.

In Vegas it's very possible.
Other towns probably harder. Usually guys who do threesome consistently do it by first landing a bi girlfriend. Then she serves as the winggirl and learns to seduce girls.
It's gonna be very rare to pull two rando girls for a threesome. Much easier if one is already your gf.

Yes, it seems that way because detachment from outcome is very counter-intuitive and paradoxical.
It is a larger point than just dating or girls. In life the best results come when you have a very clear and strong intent to achieve something, but at the same time you're detached from outcome. Yet even though you are detached from outcome you will work like hell to make it happen. And if you should fail, you immediately let it go and move to the next thing.
This isn't just the secret to getting girls. It's the secret to running a business and many other pursuits. So you would be well to learn this lesson.
Guys shouldn't chase after girls. But once you got a girl in your bed, you should move mountains to close her. She didn't get in that bed to play patty-cakes. If it takes 5 hrs of foreplay to get her to open her legs, that's what it takes. If you want her, you do what is necessary to get her. This is not neediness. This is getting shit done.
I gamed from 12am to 10am to get that girl. 10hrs! That's how you get shit done. Apply this attitude everywhere in life and you will see great results.

1) I talk about karma too. God loves everything but that doesn't mean you avoid consequences for selfish action. Karma is not a punishment from God.
2) I talk about hell realms and so on. It's just a bad trip. It is not that God throws you into hell, it is that you dream up hell for yourself. Like a nightmare.
3) You can have an infinite number of different bad trips.
4) All these NDEs are still dreams. They are not full awakening. You are God! You are dreaming up all these people with NDEs.

Personally I don't like the whole number system. I mostly use it because other guys use it, in order to communicate with them.
There are actually practical reasons to use a number system. It's not done for ego. Hot girls require adjustments to ones game. A hot girl can be teased much harder than an average girl who is insecure about her looks. I can call a 10 fat. I cannot call a normal girl fat, she would lose her shit. Hot girls also tend to have a lot more sexual experience so this needs to be taken into account. These are stereotypes but there is some truth in them and making such distinctions helps guys get laid, which is why these distinctions are made by guys.
I am not endorsing this system. I am just explaining why guys use it.
I can often predict whether a girl is a stripper, model, go-go dancer, instagram model, or cocktail waitress just by looking at her body and face.
Also for example if my wing goes to a club and tells me: "This place mostly has 6s and below" I roughly know what he means and then I know it's not worthwhile for me to go to that club. It's gonna be a waste of my time. On the other hand if a wing tells me, "Bro, this place is full of 9s!" I have a reason to go. I could have reached these conclusions myself, but having a reliable wing saves me time. So it becomes a communication tool among guys. It's not totally accurate but it gives guys a general sense of things.
Yeah, a 10 is only a 10 in the eyes of the guy doing the assessment. Obviously it's subjective and guys have a wide range of types.
I have one wing who loves THICK girls with huge asses. I don't find that attractive at all personally.
I have another wing who will only sleep with small, anorexic Asian girls who are not FOB. He thinks that 95% of girls are too fat, even when they aren't. I personally think he's crazy because he passes on a ton of otherwise stunning girls. But that's what he likes. He will only approach skinny Asians. I don't find girls that skinny to be 10s, but that is his 10.
But despite those subjective disagreements, there is wide agreement among people as to what counts as a hot girl. That is why strippers and models get paid for their bodies very consistently. Everyone recognizes a beautiful face or body instantly. Girls recognize it too. Don't pretend like you don't know which of your girlfriends are bombshells. And don't pretend like you don't recognize male-model looking dudes. Our brains are wired to recognize beauty, even if there are subjective quirks in taste.
If I show a photo of a 10 to a group of guys, they will unanimously say, "God damn! You slept with her??? No way!" Plenty of guys will even struggle to believe that is possible. It can shatter a guy's reality to know such things are possible.
From a guy's subjective POV there is a huge difference between having sex with a 6 vs a 10. Many guys might simply be too intimidated to fuck a 10 even if she is begging him for it. Even approaching a 10 is hard for most guys.
You might say this is all shallow and none of this matters. Yeah, for a girl none of this matters. But for a guy it matters very much.

Everything in your visual field is base reality.
Go open your pantry and look at a bag of rice. That is base reality.
The mistake you are making is thinking that base reality has look somehow other than what you see. You are seeing base reality at all times. Rice is base reality. Toilet paper is base reality. The smell of shit is base reality. The feel of your mouth is base reality. The sound of traffic is base reality. The emotion of anger is base reality.
You are missing the obvious: reality is 100% direct.

Absolutely worth it. You haven't started to live until you moved out from under your family.
Yes, there will be a period of loneliness. You fix this by going out, socializing, and making new friends.

Practice a lot.
Record yourself. Speak out loud to yourself. Project your voice. Speak from your belly. Do vocal exercises like speaking the alphabet with various intonations. Practice speaking slow vs fast. Exercise your tongue and mouth before speaking. Practice singing. Speak about things you're really passionate about and know well.

It is thinking.
The problem is that the Buddhist types have demonized thinking.
There are high levels of spiritual thinking. This is what produces understanding, along with expansions in your states of consciousness.
The key is to expand your state of consciousness combined with high quality subtle forms of thinking. This produces understanding and insight.

When you contemplate you obviously don't have a silent mind. And that is not a problem.
There is a time for silent mind, and a time for active mind.
Silent mind is appropriate for after years of contemplating, once all your questions are answered. Then you can bask in silence. But trying to silence the mind too early by shutting down questioning and wondering is a mistake. It will just make you a silent jackass.
Silence is not the goal. The goal is total self-understanding. Silence will naturally come once that is achieved. Silence is not understanding, but deep understanding leads to profound silence.

There's little point to doing so because everyone already knows it.
Usually the only physical compliments I give are: "You're cute" or "You're adorable". And I usually only say that so that she knows that I'm hitting on her vs being social/friendly. I use that to avoid getting friendzoned.
And sometimes I say it because I just genuinely find her exceptionally adorable.
There is no need to give a hot girl physical compliments. She already knows she's hot and everyone tells her that all the time.
You would have more success telling her that she's ugly.
"I like your personality, but why are you so ugly?"
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful I am?"
"Can you handle a guy as beautiful as me?"
"Your eyes are pretty, but not as pretty as mine."
Your logic is silly because you still have to sleep with her for her to stay around. You're not going to predict who stays around, and that really is none of your business. That's up to her, not you. If she wants she'll stay around. The only difference between a ONS and something more is that the ONS is followed by a 2nd.
Stop worrying about girls sticking around. That's a needy frame.

Lol, welcome to learning game.
You will start attracting hot girls when you stop caring about them. The hotter she is the less you gotta care.
Talk to thousands of hot girls, sleep with plenty of them, and then you will stop caring and they will love you.

You set a rule that if she cheats on you, there are no second chances, she loses you forever.
And then you stop caring. You let her free to do whatever she wants, see whoever she wants, doesn't matter to you cause you know your value and you can replace her with another girl and she knows that too.
This is the proper frame for keeping hot girls.

You can tap her on the shoulder, pull her aside a bit, and go direct.
Or you can enagage the whole group in an indirect social way and sprinkle in firtation with your girl. A good line you can use to do that is, "I can already tell... this one's gonna give me trouble" while pointing at your girl. And make strong eye contact with her. This approach requires more skill.
Or just wait till you catch her alone.

Try to observe what understanding is while you are understanding something in your direct experience.
Don't try to articulate it. Just try to observe it happening in you.
It has an slippery, ineffable, mysterious quality to it.
Understand?

It would be more accurate to call it overstanding.

If we put thought into the woman's side of things, she would find it needy and never sleep with us.
As I get better with girls I put less and less thought into them. That's what game teaches you. Women punish guys for putting thought into them. It comes off as needy and unattractive. But then once the relationship starts the woman wants the guy to put all this thought into her. But it's too late because the guy who would naturally do that (the nice guy) she never would have slept with in the first place. Hence you end up dating guys who don't care about you.
From a guy's POV, the biggest thing you can do to increase your results with women is to stop thinking about them until after sex. And if you can manage to do that, you will probably not think about them much after sex either.
This is the reality of female attraction. The less you care the more women you get, the hotter women you get. And if you want the absolute hottest women, you have to not care at all about them. It's extremely counter-intuitive. I had to rewire my whole mind for this via brutal trial and error. And what really fucks with a guy's mind is that women will gaslight about this, insisting that, "No! Just be nice and caring. We promise to sleep with you." And they never do.

My best friend from middle school was a serious military nut and joined after high school. He spent 15 years in Afghanistan and Iraq. And he loved it. But he really loved that kind of stuff from a young age. He was very outdoorsy, very into weaponry, very into explosives, very into wrestling, etc. It's like the military was designed for him. He was a very hands-on, kinesthetic person.
Joining the military is a very specific thing. For some guys it gets their rocks off. They love that stage Blue discipline, toughness, machoness, loyalty, sense of clear mission, patriotism, etc. If you're that kind of guy then join. Otherwise stay away.

You need to realize that girls will get attracted to you regardless of what you have materially in your life. Mostly what attracts the girl is how you express your personality. So you work on that and more girls will get attracted.
You can be homeless and jobless and hot girls will still get attracted to you if you express your personality properly. That means mostly all you have to worry about is improving your game. On the other hand, if your game sucks and you are too lazy to improve it, not much will help you.

Wrong. You can be fully conscious of everything. It will be unknowable though, that is correct. Consciousness/Being is prior to symbolic knowing.
Omniscience is possible. You have yet to reach that.
It is not a paradox that symbols and concepts cannot capture reality. That is exactly what you should expect since a subset is always less than its mother set. It would be a paradox if symbols and concepts could capture reality. That would be fucked up.
