If you can't experience them, why do you say they are true?
You need to seriously investigate what "true" means at all. What sense does it make to say a thing is true if you don't experience it?
Why? Isn't that what's literally true in your experience?
Maybe what's truly absurd is believing in the magical experiences of others which you have in fact never seen?
Why is it absurd to believe in unicorns, but not absurd to believe in "other experiences" when both are equally imaginary? Contemplate this.
You have to seriously question the assumptions culture has programmed you with. Consider the possiblity that you've been brainwashed into believing that other people are real.

What you have to understand is that that is your agenda based on your needs as a woman.
Guys have a different agenda.
It's just that simple.
You must also consider that for guys to attract girls, the guy has to take the lead and do the work. It doesn't happen passively for guys as it does for many girls. If the guy doesn't go out and hunt, he starves.
Hunting is not predatory in some evil sense here. The guy could be hunting for his dream girlfriend/wife. In fact, that's what most guys probably want. But to get her, they must first learn how to hunt in general. You can't just land your dream girl with one attempt. It takes a lot of work and practice. Hunting is not mutually exclusive to romance and love.
Dating can be done unconsciously or consciously, and many shades in between.
And don't forget, just because a guy doesn't get into pickup does not mean he don't abuse or manipulate women. He certainly will as he will be even more desperate and lacking the hunting skills. A starving limping wolf is more dangerous than a strong well-fed wolf.
Also, pickup is not merely about hunting girls. It's most about transforming oneself into a better man in order to attract and keep higher quality girls. In the end the guy will discover that tricking girls doesn't work, so the guy is forced to grow himself to get the best girls.
None of this makes much sense from the girl's perspective because you are not tasked with the burden of approaching. You should be thankful that you don't have to carry that burden because it's quite heavy.
Do some guys abuse it? Of course!
See, the thing is, women LOVE a strong guy. But they don't love the process which a guy must go through to become strong. Women only want the end-result of the work. Women expect that strength to be effortless, natural, and free, without any work. They don't want to know how the sausage is made.
Also, you should realize that what you call "real love" isn't real love. It is selfishness and survival. Women do not love men unconditionally. You are attracted to strong men who fit your survival needs. You are attracted to weak, needy, humorless men.
Men will love women unconditionally the same day that women love men unconditionally. Which is never. All romantic activities are highly conditional, biased, and selfish.

The dude thought it was feasible to stop a hurricane with a nuke and to dig a trench at the Mexico border wall and fill it with alligators.

There is no choice in the matter. Higher consciousness leaders will behave in higher consciousness ways.
You can't act like liberal are more developed than conservatives and then blame liberals for not being vicious enough to conservatives.
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how consciousness works.
See, when Jesus turns the other cheek, people like Vaush will call him too weak. That's how it looks from an under-developed ego-mind that is attached to survival and winning.
The attachment to winning is what creates evil. That's what needs to recognized.

Life purpose is not an ultimate solution to the problem of meaninglessness. Only hardcore spirituality can resolve that.

This is simply and obviously just a projection of his mind.
The proof here is this: if he stops imagining that "everything is based on morality", then nothing will be based on morality.
Morality is a function of thinking. You can see this with a bit of introspection.
Dare him to still have morality while stopping his mind. It's impossible.
No thoughts, no morality. Which is why animals don't have morality. And many humans, for that matter.
For a thing to be moral or immoral your mind must say, "That is moral!" or "That is immoral!". If your mind does not say that, there will be nothing.
There is in fact not a single action or event that is immoral.
"Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
But you are NEVER going to convince a Christian pastor of this. Because he isn't interested in understanding it.

Well, it is obviously false since no amount of visualizing will turn you into a kangaroo.
Test your theories and models against reality.
Well, open your mind to being wrong.
All the classic spiritual practices. Psychedelics are the fastest and most direct way.
It's a state of absolute consciousness in which you realize that you are God imagining your own body.
Stick 30mg of 5-MeO-DMT up your butt.
Because all of that selfish, egoic stuff is irrelevant once you are in a state of God-consciousness.
You might as well ask, "If God is all-powerful, how come he isn't printing money, banging supermodels, flexing his giant muscles, and driving a Lambo?"
Only a selfish moron thinks this way.
What you don't understand is, God is so powerful and selfless that he doesn't even have a form. Any form is limitation and lack of power.
The cost of infinite power is that you are have no form and nobody even knows you exist.

It is much like walking into a dark room and fearing the snake you see in the corner, only to turn on the lights and realize the snake was a rope.
Your sensation and experience of fear was as real as the rope and the room. But it was based on a false interpretation.
Saying that fear is false does not mean the sensation of fear doesn't exist or isn't happening. It obviously is.
All sensations exist. The pertinent question is, what is their significance and why are they arising in you?

Joseph Campbell never experienced a truly psychotic state of consciousness.
It is not the the same as a mystical enlightenment.
It's a moot point to say that the waters are the same because it's all Consciousness. But Consciousness can take some radical states.
You swim in the same waters as a kangaroo and a glass of orange juice. But that will not console you if you find yourself turned into a glass of orange juice.

What you see is what exists.

Which is why I told you it will take YEARS of genuine, truthful, introspection work to break free.
By "feeling" what I'm really talking about is CONSCIOUSNESS.
Consciousness = Truth
Unconsciousness = Falsehood
Do not confuse introspection with emotional reactivity.

Yes, PUA can become very toxic if done by a selfish and low-consciousness guy.
But also don't forget, most men manipulate women for sex, PUA or not. It's not like non-PUAs are non-manipulative. Lol
Manipulating women for sex is the oldest sport in the world.

Look man, Covid has thrown everyone for a loop. Now is not the time to start pickup. Work on other aspects of your development and you can try cold approaching in a year once things ease up.
I live in Las Vegas and the entire nightlife industry has been nuked from orbit for what looks like 2 years. Yeah, it sucks.
Be happy you ain't being drafted to fight in WWIII as your grandpappy was. The world doesn't revolve around your dick.

Obviously fear exists. The point is that all fear is false or delusional in the absolute sense because no one outcome is better than another.
Fear comes from the mind's bias for one thing over another, imagining differences which are ultimately meaningless.

Dude, you cannot build attraction via text. It will NEVER work.
Grow some balls and build attraction in-person. That's the only way. You're using texting to attract her because you're a weasel. You want to weasel your way into her pants, and she smells your weakness from a hundred miles away.
Text should only be used to set up date logistics and keeping leads warm.
Once she said No, stop texting her. NEVER try to logically convince a woman to sleep with you. It reeks of desperation, low value, and cluelessness. A woman will NEVER sleep with you from logical convincing.
She will never, ever sleep with you now. So move on to the next girl and do it right next time.
Also, stop giving a fuck about rejection. Invest ZERO into any girl until she sleeps with you. Do not even spend 15 minutes thinking about her. ZERO INVESTMENT.
You're gonna have to learn that the hard way.

By going out so much that you are so busy talking to other girls that you don't have time to think about it and no one lead matters. And also by training yourself never to invest before sex.
As soon as you think, "This lead is special" you screwed up.
Note: this is only during the early phase of dating. Once she falls in love with you, then you invest back and treat her nice.

Both of these are serious books which you don't seem suited for right now.
When you are dealing with a serious subject matter like understanding reality, the question of "How can this immediately benefit me?" is not suitable.
What you're interested in is more along the lines of Tony Robbins self-help.
Wilber's work is for serious intellectuals.

Make a check-list of what you want, then roll up your sleeves and get to work.
All that material shit is straight-forward to get. There's no mystery to it.
If you sleep with 20 girls, you'll find at least a few who are what you want.
You gotta get serious about building out a life. Stop dabbling and being meek about it. Go fucking do it.

Yes, of course. Which is why masterful sages sit in silence and don't say anything at all. The only reason they talk is because you cannot understand silence.
All words you utter are false.
All opinions you hold are nonsense.
Reality just is.
The ultimate aim is no-mind.
Sadhguru once said that some scientists once hooked him up to a brainwave machine to measure his meditation brainwaves. The machine showed nothing. He is clinically brain dead. When he sits, it's literally no-mind.
If you could stop your mind, your journey would be over. You would have arrived in paradise.

@Nora You're not going to resolve the mind/body problem through language, reasoning, or logic from inside the materialist reductionist scientific paradigm.
You can only resolve it by having a direct consciousness of the fact that all of reality is infinite consciousness.
There is no body, there is no mind, and there is no world. All of those are thoughts. You have to work to become mindful of how this is so.
It's not a matter of argument. It's a matter of awareness of what's actually happening when you say, "This is my body. This is my mind." When you say or think these things, you're not aware yet that these are just noises arise from nothingness.

Most rich people ARE more competent, conscious, and productive than most poor people. This is especially true if they have self-made wealth.
But that only goes so far. As 99% of all people in general, rich people are terrible at questioning the self-serving nature of their own worldview because one's worldview is built from the ground up to serve one's survival.
Rich people are not masters of their minds or their psychology. Obviously. Since they spend most of their time climbing the ladder of success, which has nothing to do with self-awareness or moral development.
What poor people do not understand is that being rich does not solve the issue of survival whatsoever. Not at all. It only transforms survival into a more complex and abstract domain.
You will have exactly the same number of problems when you're rich as you did when you were poor. They will just be a different set of problems. This is hard for most poor people to understand since they like to blame their problems on material conditions without realizing that problems are a deep core function of the ego-mind, not material conditions.

Zen no-mind does NOT mean no thinking.
This is a common newbie misunderstanding.

This is not a matter of Red Pill theory.
You're just acting needy.
Keep the needy part of your mind shut when you are with this girl. You should be focused on flirting, sharing fun stories, and seduction.
Of course she did. Because you demonstrated that you are a weak, wounded guy who wants to use her as your emotional tampon.
A girl wants an emotionally strong guy who she can use as her emotional tampon. You flipped the roles so she lost attraction.
It's all about timing.
You can be emotionally vulnerable and serious with a girl after she is your girlfriend. Which means you must first have sex with her a dozen times. THEN you can cry together and it will be no problem. But not on the first date, for fuck's sake.
First rule of dating: Don't say anything negative or serious on the first date. No whining, no complaining, no blaming, no bitching, no crying, no victim stories, no emotional outbursts, no therapy sessions, no weirdness, no secret confessionals, no revealing skeletons from your closest. Just be friendly, fun, and chill. If you have to fake it till you make it, do that.

You fucked up real bad here, boy.
What are you thinking being brutally honest on a date? It reeks of neediness and low-value.
The first month of dating should be all fun and games. No serious talk! No serious talk until you sleep with her at least half a dozen times.
Stop using your dates as therapy.
LOL
Because you set the BOYFRIEND FRAME. Now she will withhold pussy from you for days and weeks. If you were fun and playful she would have had sex with you and everything would have been great. But you had to go and act needy and serious with her.
You have to treat sex like it means nothing. Like it's as common as chewing gum to you. When you make it a big deal, so will she.
You'll be lucky if she ever sleeps with you at all. A quality girl would never call you back after that.
Learn proper dating theory.
And don't listen to her stupid self-biased advice.
You fell into every newb trap in the dating book.
WTF is this gay needy nonsense???
No! No! No!
Keep it light and playful.
P.S. If you haven't had sex with her, she is certainly not your gf.

You do realize, right, that all numbers is completely relative? There is no difference between 1 and 2.
I dare you to find 1 or 2 in the objective world.
Anything you point to and call 1 will also be greater than one. Anything you point to and call greater than 1 will also be 1.
Because: one = many
But you weren't taught this lesson in math class.
