My friend takes it as a supplement, he takes because of the collagen I think.

I'm going to sound like a broken record, but probably put this question on the ACC Facebook group.

I am a massive advocate for Sadghurus practices. I would suggest registering for an in person or online Upa Yoga program. The one of his app is a little different to how an Isha teacher will teach it, it's like half the practice. Or, Sadghuru actually recommends beginners start with Angamardhana, then do Upa Yoga. But all of them will benefit you.

My wing who I regularly go out with, who has had sex with girls in bathroom stalls and on a dance floor (lol), says that "making out with girls is like fools gold, it isn't really a close until you are in bed having sex with her, girls make out will make-out with guys fairly frivolously".

How is this post not locked lol. Put some mercury on you cereal in the morning and see how you feel. Is there a safe amount of rat poison to consume? If so, how often can I consume it and it still be safe?

I don't lift weights, Ive never tracked my calories. I do Classical Hatha yoga and BJJ to stay healthy, and occasionally rock climb. I try not to get wrapped up in chasing protruding abs and having big arms, but when I look in the mirror that's all I'm really doing it for. My actions say that I am working out and eating well to feel capable, energetic, alive and at ease, but I'm not sure if that is my true belief. What about you?

Also, Leo is dead right about being observational when opening. This is a game changer. I have undoubtedly confirmed this in my own experience. One of my friends was having approach anxiety, I pointed him in the direction of a girl in white linen or hemp pants and told him to tell her her pants look like they're made from weed (weed, hemp, get it? Lol so dumb ik). Like 5-10 minutes later he was making out with her. Throw comfort questions like "what are you studying?" out the window, and replace them with something like "you look like you study... Psychology". This will get the ball rolling so much more effectively.

I've had this issue as well. When you go out, bad nights happen in my experience, but ultimately approaching people is what will build your mood. Just keep approaching until you're on cloud nine, and then you will just flow and feel awesome. You'll think to yourself "how am I being so smooth". Also like put some effort into your grooming and outfit, if you're wearing a monster energy drink t-shirt don't bother approaching a girl.

Surprise surprise.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQQYKKqPYhc I really like Tom Torero, as he has a fairly inspiring origin story, was never (as still is not imo) traditionally attractive. He breaks things down in a very practical way.

Definitely helps to be able to entertain an idea without submitting to it in these kind of groups, a lot of meat-head, Redpill types in this group who will promote such content.

I've started doing fun stuff as exercise instead of going to the gym or doing Youtube workouts. I bought my mother a kayak this year, so I've been borrowing it and using down at our local river. Have been bouldering with friends in the local rock climbing gym. Become a member at a BJJ studio. In a few weeks I will be getting back into Bachata dance when classes are back on. All of these things involve so much dynamic movement, and I look forward to them. I actually crave getting onto the BJJ mat. I tried for so long to discipline myself, be consistent with running, skipping, going to the gym etc. I'm kind of over it tbh. I've had to come to terms with the fact that I won't be a shirtless instagram model, because it doesn't make as much sense to me.

There has been almost complete transparency about still being able to contract the virus with a vaccine. The purpose of the vaccine is to better equip the immune system so you don't end up on a ventilator when you contract the virus. Yes I agree our culture blindly accepts pharmaceuticals as some sort of be all and end all of healing, however a lot of synthetic medicine can harm the body. Probably haven't addressed the obesity/autoimmunity epidemic because a) corporate interest b) unawareness/ignorance c) the fact that it takes years for someone to die from heart disease but a few weeks for a vulnerable person to die from Covid. If you're not complaining about thimerosal in vaccines, you simply don't have an argument against vaccines, as demonstrated by your spiel that is not really related to the efficacy of vaccines.

I did a bit of microdosing in high school. Didn't effect me much tbh. But yeah if you dose it properly it would most likely benefit you; brain scans show more plasticity in the brain.

Search SPIN selling in google, it's a sales strategy

Hi Leo, In the conscious politics episode, you talk about Trump having an extremely limited skillset, one of those skills being SPIN. I remember there was another episode, I think it was the dualities episode, where you briefly mentioned that some sales people believe they have to be manipulative or dishonest when going through a sales process. I am currently a full-time salesperson of Photocopiers, my motivation for staying in sales is that I want to develop a digital marketing skillset, and be able to grow any business, including any of my own projects. A large part of my education in this role has been SPIN selling. I have also observed some occasional dishonesty amongst my superiors, never at a large scale e.g. When wanting to speak to a decision maker during cold phone calls, my manager may say that the person is expecting their call to the receptionist, when they are not. My question is: - Am I potentially going down the wrong path by putting a lot of time into learning SPIN?

LP Course and Contemplation I've returned to the Life Purpose Course after a couple of years of putting it on the shelf. I just watched the introductory video and took some notes on how to get the most out of the course. Leo mentioned briefly talked about victim mindset, which inspired me to do half an hour of contemplating with a journal. Unfortunately this was cut short by my dad coming into the room and me being polite having a conversation with him. My initial question of "am I being a victim?" evolved into "what is limiting me that I do not control?". It was difficult to come up with an example, as for each example I wrote down, there was a way I could take control over it e.g. I don't have enough energy; I could research how to get more energy and follow steps to do so.

This journal is inspired by a course I just finished called Build a Second Brain created by Tiago Forte, the course was about knowledge management and using digital organisation tools to enhance creativity and completion of projects. This journal is not going to contain rants or particularly narrative entries, it will be accounts of ways in which I have been implementing the vast amount of personal development information I have consumed, or even summaries of such content to consolidate my own learning. I will also be sharing general insights that have emerged throughout my experience.

Your body also effects other bodies. If you contract a virus it is very possible that you could spread it and kill your grandmother. These are all fair precautions the government is taking. The countries that have had the most restrictions have been able to control the virus the best.

General Update Have begun 30/30 squat challenge. This is a challenge set by movement teacher Ido Portal, 30 days of sitting in a squat position for an accumulative half hour. The benefits of the deep squat position is supposed improved digestion and flexibility. I have started this challenge yesterday, and aim to do this everyday for the rest of the month, until I will be starting a 21 day hatha yoga course with Sadghuru's Isha Foundation.

A Night of Infield Myself and a friend of mine went out the other night, as lockdowns have lifted to the point where we go out at night in the CBD. We went to the casino, main clubbing district, and various bars with the intention of approaching and starting a conversation with 10 women before the night was over. My god was this difficult. My intention for getting into pickup is that I want to overcome the fear of talking to women that I don't know, because if I maintain this anxiety, it's an unnecessary limitation. I also want to develop the 'Game' skillset, because when I do meet an awesome person, I would like to be confident in my ability to court her. Also, I enjoy sex, and pickup would increase my sexual options. As we aren't that experienced with pickup theory (I've been listening to a summary of Rules of The Game by Neil Strauss, and my friend has been listening to The Mystery Method, neither of us have completed the entire books), we decided to give ourselves credit for just starting conversations with girls, no matter the topic, considering it was our first night out. Key Lessons 1. Girls don't seem to like obvious pickup line type openings I went up to a few girls and asked "Are you a Virgo? I've been looking for a Virgo all night". One of them just gave me a disgusted look and kept walking. Another group of a few girls just kind of joked with me by saying "I'm a Capsicorm", kind of making fun of me in a way. 2. Girls like being engaged in some sort of game or activity-like conversation I stopped a couple girls as said "you girls look very stylish, would you rate mine and my friends' outfits in sequential order. I did this to two different pairs of girls, and they really seemed to like (also got some helpful fashion advice I guess haha). 3. There is so much resistance towards approaching people. I literally like froze in anxiety before approaching some people. There is so much gusto that goes into sparking a random conversation with a stranger. 4. Girls seem to respond to playfulness and confidence. My friend was going up to groups of girl saying "have you seen a fat red cat, he's mine and his name is Joe", and they loved it, they would say things like "that's a terrible name for a cat". A girl initiated exchanging Instagram accounts. All in all, we approached 10 girls/groups of girls. We had some very fleeting conversations, and others were longer and more engaged. But this was a massive step forward, the first night I did this I manage about 2 girls. I showed myself that it was more than possible to up the quantity, and also how much there is to learn to develop this skillset.

Me and my band-mates in highschool wouldn't go to a gig without musicians earplugs haha. They have a little hole in them so they don't block sound altogether, still able to hold conversation. I would recommend you buy some clear ones form any music shop, then you can cut the ends off so they don't stick out as much (just search in google images musician's earplugs, you'll see what I mean).

I think this is a good topic, I think about this all the time. If Walter White was passionate about making meth, would this justify selling it? Probably not I'd say. The value of such products are based on temporary pleasure, but with the downside of physical harm. The same goes for the "tasty" food and drink industry. There is a book called 'The Pleasure Trap' that explains this concept really well.

Hey guys. I tried doing the LP course a year or two ago, but would just spend hours and hours on each activity trying to get the perfect answer. I resonate a lot with the symptoms of Mercury Toxicity, and am yet to do a therapeutic dose of ALA to confirm whether or not I am mercury toxic. I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to wait to do the course until I've done a fair few rounds (considering I am actually toxic), this way I may be able to have a bit more focus and mental clarity, and be able to get the most out of it.

Not sure what you mean by this sorry
