Truth/Love/Esctasy is the realization that there is no difference whatsoever between anything.
When all difference is seen to be imaginary and irrelevant, you reach infinite joy. It's an ocean of Love so deep you shudder in a metaphysical cosmic Mindgasm.
Then you understand what true happiness is. True happiness is simply realizing that nothing is better than anything else. Period. That's when all seeking stops.
So long as you are under the illusion that one thing is better than another, you will always suffer because you will seek the better and resent the worse.
The ultimate Truth is that nothing is better than anything else because all things are equally wondrous. Ta-da! Your unhappiness turned out to be nothing other than bias.

Business is survival. Life is about survival. Even if everyone on Earth was awake, they would still need to survive and business would still have a place.
But even more importantly, business should be your creative passion, your art, which you would do even if no one needed it. So long as you're alive you are gonna have the problem of what to do with your time and creative energy.
God is creative. You cannot stop people from being creative any more than you can stop the sun from shining.
So the only real question is: what do you want to create?
Nothing is important in itself. Things become important if you want them to be.

This issue is not just about Green. This is the much larger issue of how do you deal with ignorance?
As you become more conscious you are likely to develop contempt for the massive unconsciousness of the average person. That's one of the many burdens of seriously developing yourself. You start to feel like a genius among apes. And then you gotta find ways to cope with that.
Best way I find is to stop trying to convince or change people and focus most of your attention on your creative work. Do not get too entangled with ignorant people and their BS. It's a huge distraction. Let them be ignorant. Focus on your work. And don't hinge your work on ignorant people.

Of course there is not a "someone who is moving up on a journey". That is a fiction.
But there are many levels/states of higher consciousness.
The loss of ego is not all there is to consciousness. That's just a tiny aspect of awakening. Just because you lose the ego does not mean you're anywhere near infinitely conscious.
I have warned you guys many times of these kind of oversimplified neo-Advaita teachings. The realization of no-self is one of the easiest and lowest attainments in this work. There are much higher attainments and awakenings.

You need to change your state of consciousness via hardcore concentration practice. Stop thinking about who you are and focus on building up concentration.
You can do that with mindfulness with labling or via Kriya yoga. I highly recommend Kriya yoga, it quiets the mind nicely.
Work towards stilling your mind and just sitting in emptiness with no thoughts. Your true nature will reveal itself naturally once your mind is still and highly concentrated.

That's the mindfuck. Death never happens. Death is a fantasy.
You are eternally conscious right now, you always have been, and you always will be.
Cessation of consciousness is imaginary. LOOK! You're imagining it right now!
You sneaky bastard!
There is no such thing as unconsciousness. All unconsciousness is imagined by consciousness. That's the ultimate trick. You can't be unconscious, you can only imagine you were unconscious in the past -- which is the Dream you weave.

I certainly didn't. My mind was quick as a super-computer in my teens.
Although now with increased consciousness and spiritual understanding, and after doing a bunch of heavy metal detox, carnivore diet, and with mental training exercises my mind is getting real sharp again.
One of goals is to develop a superman mind.
Jerking off has no effect on the clarity of my mind. Not jerking off reduces my clarity because then mind is wasted thinking about sex.

There are so many ways to do a spirituality biz.
Start by doing a few months of research on what already exists and what other people have done. Search the web, you'll find tons of stuff. And think outside the box of being a guru.
Also think about the biggest obstacles you faced in your spiritual journey and what kind of problems people commonly face in spirituality. You can basically start a biz around any single common problem.
In general, in order to enter an industry you must first become an avid consumer of it. As you consume and explore the industry you will see what works, what doesn't, what's missing, and what niches are available. You need a lot of experience consuming the industry you work in to find opportunities and to learn from what has already been done.
I broke my way into self-help by consuming a ton of self-help and seeing gaps and opportunities. No one was doing self-help in the way I wanted it done, so I started my own channel.

Stop asking women for advice on how to game them.
That's your mistake.
When it comes to deciding who she's gonna sleep with, her biological instincts will take over and she will not sleep with a nice guy. She wants to sleep with an alpha guy.
Of course! Women like dick. They don't need a man with a pussy because they already got one.
Attraction is very counter-intuitive.
With that said, you can be strong and cocky without being mean or hurtful. That's the balance you should aim for: strong, assertive, cocky, playful, but also polite, respectful, and grounded in Love.
You want to be a lovable jerk, not an abusive asshole.
And this goes beyond women. In general, all people, men and women alike, respect strength, confidence, authority, leadership, and assertiveness. These are the qualities of a leader. And women want to sleep with leaders. You can't lead people effectively by being too nice and meek.
Be a leader without being abusive or cruel. Temper yourself with Love.

That's how style is. You can't please everyone. Spicy things are polarizing, making some people hate it and others love it. I'm a somewhat polarizing guy. I don't want to make milquetoast content that makes your grandma pleased. My content has added drama and flair to make it interesting. And I enjoy being provocative.
FYI, I'm never angry at you. Mostly I'm baffled by the stupidity and laziness of people. I am in constant disbelief at how much the average person takes life/reality for granted, and therefore it's hard for me to respect such a person. So I tend to look down on such people and sometimes I rant and rebuke from that perspective, but I'm never too serious about it. Half the time it's done tongue -in-cheek.
When I rant at you, it's because you're not being serious enough about reality. That's mostly where I'm coming from. To earn my respect you have to be serious.

You're just confused about your own notions of existence and perception and self.
Existence doesn't have a definition. It is what is. It's the only thing there is. And it cannot be defined because a definition itself must exist to do any work.
The bottle exists because you imagine it does, whether you are in the room or not you imagine it, thereby creating it.
You are imagining there is a universe outside your house. And that's how it feels to you.
If you became more conscious you would instantly realize that you are imagining objects existing outside your field of view, like the Earth.

Deep awakening will make you more authentic, secure, charismatic, masculine, feminine, and playful. It will dissolve much fear too. Which is very effective for pickup.
But it will not give you technical skills nor experience with women -- which is also very important for results. For example, you will still not know how to escalate, handle logistics, or close.
If you think pickup is difficult and scary, awakening is way more difficult and scary. If you can't muster the balls to approach a girl, you won't be awakening any time soon.

@The0Self The way I conceive of it, awakening has one axis with two directions: the emptiness direction and the God-consciousness direction. You can move up or down. Down is emptiness, up is Infinite God Consciousness. But even the emptiness direction has degrees of realizing emptiness. And the God consciousness direction basically goes to infinite levels higher.
And of course these two direction are not really two, they are one. God Consciousness IS emptiness, but it's also so much more than that.
To me the realization of emptiness is peanuts compared to Infinite God Consciousness. Infinite God Consciousness is what you really want. Emptiness is cool but sorta meh. To stop at emptiness and proclaim it king is a big mistake in my book.
I've experienced emptiness and Infinity many times. And Infinity is way superior. And although Infinity is emptiness, your classic gurus are not infinitely consciousness. Not even close. Like not even 1%. Emptiness is way easier than Infinity. So to stop at emptiness is to set the bar low whereas Infinity sets the bar infinitely high.
Of course emptiness cannot really have levels to it. It's just infinitely empty. But just because you are empty does not mean you are infinitely conscious of yourself as God. You probably don't even realize what God is. You can have some degree of awakening but still fundamentally not realize what God is. To realize God in its fullness requires going up the axis, not down. This is why Buddhists and Neo-Advaitans can sit there and deny God with a straight face. They've gone all the way down, but not all the way up. And they have no clue what they're missing because they think they've made it.
This shit is very tricky. Much trickier than any guru admits.
In my book it is not enough to hollow out the ego-mind and just reside in emptiness. You must actually enter a state of Infinite God Consciousness. This is a state of Total Omniscience. This is God proper. How to achieve this state stably is the fundamental problem. Yes, it is a state. And you are definitely missing this state. You are not even 0.0001% to this state even if you think you are enlightened.
Totally emptying your mind is not the same thing as making your mind Infinite. Classic enlightenment teachers have a bias towards the former while poo-pooing the latter. But the latter is superior in my experience.
God is not only no-mind. God is Infinite Mind.
And if you're missing LOVE, it's because you've emptied your mind too much and got stuck there in nihilism. Try going up instead of down.
The bottom of the ocean is interesting, but outer space is more interesting
P.S. Infinite Consciousness is way more than mere insights. At it highest levels Infinite Consciousness is the complete interconnection of every bit of consciousness in existence into a single infinitely interconnected and all-knowing point of singularity. You are not merely having insights about infinity at that point. YOU ARE INFINITY.

Why Concentration is Not Enough? - Attention & Awareness Dynamic Explained
We all have the experience of focusing on a task singularly and very intensely. From common meditation wisdom, you might think developing an exclusive state of intense concentration is what meditation is ultimately all about.
However, this is only a part of the picture. For all beginner meditators, mindfulness and awareness collapses instantly if you narrow down attention strongly and forcefully. 
This is one of the fundamental reasons why you still experience distractions and sleepiness while trying to be more mindful. Even after years of meditation.
Let me explain:
Paying attention to an object without greater peripheral awareness is how we normally live our lives. Even without mindfulness, we’re always paying attention to something.
But with mindfulness, we pay attention to the right things, and in a more skillful way.This is because being mindful actually means that you’re more fully conscious and alert than usual. 
As a result, our peripheral awareness is much stronger, and our attention is used with unprecedented precision and objectivity. 
Mindfulness is the skillful interaction of attention and awareness.  
Attention analyzes our experience, and awareness provides the overall context and background.      
When one or the other doesn’t do its job, or when there isn’t enough interaction between the two, then we respond to situations less effectively. We may overreact, make poor decisions, or misinterpret what’s really going on.
Awareness provides the context and the background of events and experiences. It is open,   inclusive, and holistic. It’s concerned with the relationships of objects to each other, and to the whole.
Why aren’t we naturally more mindful?
 Why does mindfulness have to be cultivated?
There are two main reasons.
1- Most of us have never really learned to use awareness effectively.
2- We don’t have enough conscious power to sustain mindfulness, especially at the times when we need it most.,
The result of this is something I like to call Awareness Deficit Disorder: chronic use of attention until awareness fully collapses.
For instance, do you experience the moving sensations on your left foot’s toe while watching Inception?
An advanced meditator can experience the body fully while also wholeheartedly engaging in the movie.Body awareness is only the first step. They can watch the movie intensely and also simultaneously examine their minds, habits and mental reactions.
As a beginner meditator, you are singularly focused on watching Inception, - which is a fantastic movie - trying to follow the sequences of events.But awareness is fully collapsed. You are not aware of the body sensations as much.
Final Advice:
The most deceptive beginner mistake while trying to balance attention and awareness is to quickly re-direct attention back and forth between the breath sensations and the body (or distractions of all forms).
This technique is called intentional attentional movement.It can be used effectively in adept stages of meditation.
However, at its currently applied form, it is not helping you to develop greater levels of awareness and mindfulness.
The Solution: You need to maintain the stability of attention first and while the attention rests on the breath, now you start to experience the entire body and mind with awareness. This is how you develop mindfulness.
You need to keep these two modalities of experience in metacognitive awareness.
Keep meditating with this in mind and you'll get to know your mind at deeper and deeper levels with diligent practice.
Much love,
Arda
 

It's harder, but practice more improv.
Asking women questions upon open is terrible. You quickly lose her with your interrogation. Instead, either make funny assumptions about her or talk about yourself. My fave way to open is just telling her about my day or where I traveled recently. Travel stories are the best.
Stop the questions. Make statements. Learn to carry the entire conversation. You should be able to talk for 5 minutes without needing any input from her.

The perceiver is Nothing.
Or, to say it another way, perceiver = perceived.

Scheduled my vaccine for Tuesday.
Maybe I can shoot a video of me getting it. We'll see.
Pfizer version.
Neither the Pfizer nor the Moderna vaccines contain any heavy metals.
Don't delay, schedule yours today.

Beautiful, try giving this a read:

it will blow your mind 

Repressing sex definitely does not work. So I say indulge in it in a conscious way and exhaust your urges until you are bored with it.
But also, sex and dating can be a giant waste of time. So be careful not to get your mind hijacked by it.
You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Welcome to life.
And do not fool yourself that you will use sex to reach enlightenment or whatever.

It's a fine personal goal, but LP is not about what you do for yourself. It's about what you want to do for others.
So in this case once you finally reach your goal, a valid LP would be to spread that experience to others.
So you're close to an LP, but you're stilling thinking of it too selfishly.
Your LP might be to help OTHERS expeirence 5-MeO-DMT. Although that is risky business so be careful with how you go about that.

@Kshantivadin Yes, well, the problem with you is that you are getting way out ahead of your skiis. Try to bridge the gap with a life purpose that's a bit more closer to your experience of life. You are making an LP about a thing you haven't even experienced, don't know is real, and don't even know if you will like.
You gotta test all those waters first and see if it really is something you're passionate about. Don't assume your passions, feel for them in the now. What are you passionate about now that in part of your life experience?
You can always expand out into 5-MeO or awakening once you experience it and find it resonates.
The problem with assuming too much is that you will find you aren't as passionate about that thing as you thought once you actually experience it. It can be easy to fall in love with the IDEA of a thing rather than the thing itself. So be careful not to fall into that trap.

“The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you." -- Werner Heisenberg
@trenton Maybe you should actually study the greatest scientists
There is nothing scientific about atheism, rationalism, materialism, or realism. It's all pure fantasy.
If you actually start questioning reality you will see that 50% of sicence is bullshit.

There is an epic difference though between your normal interactions with your parents and you being conscious that you imagined them.
The difference is shockingly huge. It's fucking freaky. Most normies would think they've lost their minds if it happened to them.
But I highly recommend it

Game can be directed towards various goals. The goal does not define game. You could do game to find a wife. In fact, many guys are interested in that.
Game is simply learning how to attract women. How you use this skill is up to you. You could use it to become a rapist, or you could use it to start a family.
Practically, to find a good life-long partner requires burning through lots of dates to find the right one. Your first handful of relationships are going to be awful.

You should chase living an authentic life aligned with your top values, your top passions, helping spread truth, consciousness, love, and beauty across the Universe via which ever way most excites you and suits your unique strengths and talents.
You are right that you should not just sit around twiddling your thumbs. You should be constantly working on your life purpose and evolving yourself towards that end.
Life is short. Don't squander it sitting around in confusion and inaction.
False success is chasing what others tell you is good.
True success is devoting your life to expressing the Love that you have for the world in your unique way, and doing so skillfully and eagerly.
False success will not make you happy, but true success will.
