It happened few times before. When I met 2 girls simultaneously I was making choice with whom I'd continue relationships. So I've choosen the girl, but after a few weeks she stops responding via phone, messenger. I reach for the girl I've eliminated before, but she is offended and son't want to return. I could have, of course, not chosen and continued to meet with 2 girls simultaneously, but some of them could have conservative beliefs and consider it a cheating, if she get to know, even if we met a few times (my assumption). I can of course ask her whether it is ok that I meet with someone else and will chose between them two later, but some girls could be offended (my assumption) I'm ok with open relationships, but girls may be not. What would you do to not lose a girl in this situation? It will help you to know that I live in Ukraine, sometimes in Poland, so people here are quite conservative in their attitudes towards relationships

I`m okay with meeting with 2 girls, and sleeping with 2 girls in parallel. But the problem they could treat this as 'cheating'

I`m a 3D modeler passionate about steampunk, baroque/Victorian ornaments, XX century vehicles. I'm also want to learn a 3D software called Houdini and become motion designer and create psychedelic videos. I see more and more amazing artworks in these areas. I fear that in 5 years, let alone 20 years every type of artwork will be created, especially with the advance of AI, and there would be no point in making any new artwork. I know this belief is inherently false, but it doesn't get to me on an emotional level. Maybe that's because my progress is slow. Sometimes I remember my ideas and understand that no one can really implement them in real life because they are quite unique, but I easily forget about this. What can you guys add to this?

Yesterday I've had 39,3°C temperature. My grandma told me to take the ibuprofen or aspirin. I think that my body could have managed by itself, there was no need to drop the temperature. I'm not sure that these medications are good for me. What are the alternatives? It's a shame for me not knowing how to cure fever.

I think I'd do 3d even if AI could make it faster and better. People still draw, despite photograph being invented century ago.

Even in small town Zhytomyr(300 000 habitats), Ukraine I found quite high quality hippy community where there is a constant influx of new girls. Yes, some of them smoke weed, but still there are some "gems". Don't believe that you can't find the same in the 1st world country.

I don't know guys what stupidity are you talking here. Porn and masturbation is killing my life. After masturbation I feel like a vegetable, low energy levels, brainfog, weak willpower - it destroys my career, I'm unable to work more than 2 months on some job. That's no surprise, because the sperm is a high quality protein which requires a lot of energy to be produced and if you are spilling it on a blanket few times a day, you are constantly loosing energy. Actually recently I almost effortlessly abstain from masturbation thanks to amanita muscaria microdosing. Maybe women don't ejaculate, but the loss of energy could be through because of the dopamine peak. When you are constantly injecting pleasure into yourself (in any form) you are releasing neuromediators such as dopamine and the more you do so, the more dopamine receptors adapt and become less sensitive to the point that you don't enjoy simple things anymore. But that can be wrong regarding female masturbation - maybe dopamine doesn't get released

Take a look at this chart predicting the top economies on 2050, 2075: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/top-economies-in-the-world-1980-2075/ There would be China, Nigeria, Egypt, Pakistan, Philipines (I don't believe Russia will reach that rank, because it would just collapse into smaller states) - these enlisted countries would have power. How would they influence the world then? Would we become less democratic, more authoritarian? Or we would get more oriental wisdom, more left-brained approach to science, spirituality will become mainstream? Of course in case of China's defeat in the war between China and the US, it could also become democratic and peaceful like Germany and Japan had became.

I`m a 3D artist passionate about steampunk, ornamental design, math, and fractals, I often see how everything in nature has perfect proportions, see how every plant is a fractal, and see patterns everywhere. I want to express my fascination with math and nature through video games or motion design. I began being fascinated with math after a few LSD trips Leo said that psychedelics cost him hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, because he stopped being interested in materialistic desires. I don't want to lose my motivation before I`m well established in my finances. If I trip light dosages of LSD like 100ug every 2 weeks or have a DMT trip a few times per year - maybe such a schedule won't make me unmotivated? Or maybe substances like 5Meo-DMT which make you realize your God nature straight away - maybe only such powerful trips could demotivate you? Or maybe I better forget about tripping while I`m still in the stage of building a career? By the way, how big is the chance that I may damage my brain and lower my cognitive abilities when stuffing myself with different substances?

Yes, I was also thinking the same.

Can you elaborate more on that? What are your sources?

Yes, this seems to be a good approach

What is their national attitude?

Leo, Sadhguru, Eckhart Tolle, Mooji, Yogananda, Rupert Spira, Krishnamutri, Vivekananda, Allan Watts... For female mystics I know only the woman who wrote "Love there is" - don't remember exactly the name of the book. Why do you think it is so? I think that's because women don't have this masculine energy to "break the wall" - they are more about compassion, caring, and socializing (which are not bad things). On the other hand, woman is a more subtle energy.

That was also the question that interested me: will it? It kind of should.

Congratulations from Ukraine???? Russians are losers

Very beautiful observation

The Inner Engineering course is a precursor to initiation to Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya - don't look at it as its own thing. This Kriya is extremely powerful. If you do it, even if not perfectly, you are guaranteed to experience an altered state of consciousness. Its advantage over other types of practices is that it works like clockwork. For example, you are meditating: sometimes you feel something out of your sensory perception, but sometimes you are stuck and don't experience change for months, with Shambhavi you are repeating the simple process and you are getting guaranteed results.

I recommend visiting the Isha Yoga Center near Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. There is the most powerful consecrated space called Dhyanalinga. Sadhguru told that if someone had been there "he/she cannot escape the sowing of the seed of Liberation". They say if you sit there you'll naturally experience the meditativeness or perhaps altered states of consciousness.

I was watching "The wind rises" - I've got really beautiful emotions few days after it. I also was watching SIGGRAPH papers and it made me fall in love with mathematics https://youtu.be/1Ja4wD2sG94?si=uBPxGkyhY5XvBkda

This is a game for anyone who likes creating Factorio - about automations Gothic 3 - an RPG with old but immersive graphics

when I eat oatmeal I feel like my colon is covered with "rust" - a kind of itchingly irritating sensation

Besides this, If you are buying on the market there is another criteria: BRIX value. Brix value tells the percentage of sugar content in plant. The higher the value the healthier the plant is. If you'll buy pale tomatoes from the supermarket and compare it to the taste of tomatoes grown on my grandma's backyard you'll notice that supermarket tomatoes aren't sweet while my grandma's are. If sugar content of a plant is high then everything else about the plant is healthier: it is more prone to the pests, I also assume that vitamin/mineral content is higher. Another criterion is how saturated the smell/taste is. If you buy supermarket arugula you'll probably notice that pleasant smell and taste of arugula. But if you try arugula from my grandmother - oh boy... you can barely eat it because it is so hot. Need to throw 5 leaves on the bowl of salad. Yes, arugula that is grown on soil is much more saturated with the substances that make the arugula taste like arugula to the point that it is very spicy. So you can try some samples from different suppliers and then start buying their uncertified almost organic veggies at a fraction of the cost of organic (at least it works so in Ukraine). Of course, you can't tell if they don't dump some rubbish near the field where everything grows, or whether it is located near the road.

I've had a similar problem. Before I liked cooking. But then I moved into the room with an awful common kitchen. I really didn't like to appear in the kitchen and also I needed to run 100m back&forth between the kitchen and my room, so after some time I stopped cooking at all. Actually, I had similar situations for the past 4 years - I never had a kitchen which is clean and neat and had enough space for me to cook. Because of this, my eating habits worsened. Also besides this, the cooking process became irritating for me, I just couldn't wait before the food would be ready. However, after initiation into Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya, I started liking the process of cooking. Sadhguru said that when you do Shambhavi, I start liking making "precise movements" and your movements become precise. And it was so for me.

In my case I've started experiencing POIS after 7 years of masturbation. In the first few years I didn't felt any change. I think the solution would be to stop masturbating. But in the meantime, I'd try the fenugreek-garlic solution. Maybe in my case it was always B-complex which helped - when I was taking it together with vitamin D, gingko, bacopa I haven't experienced POIS
