Book review: Sperm Wars - Robin Baker - the book will trigger your beta core and insecurities, trust me https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1254514176 overall an interesting read, especially those parts of microscale of sex, what is going on on the level of cells, however the implications to what have been found at microlevel seems often more like guessing and hypothesis(personal opinions) about how it relate to the macrolevel, sometimes it's hard to tell is it still science or not cuz it's look like this: we have found a red square, so now we need to find something that red square can fits into, there are birds or bugs that do x so that's good explanation of x, but i don't think that is enough of the proof especially last chapter showed that the author is self-biased into fairy tale monogamy myth (living happily ever after)- put it as total success strategy, which if you think of it - contradict all of the previous 35 chapters that he wrote, better explanation why people create few years monogamy relationship is in "Sex at down" this it's another book that tears apart the myth of monogamy, with science and nature behind it, instead of social/cultural delusion and idealism worship most anoying things in the book is that author use number references to previouse and also ahead chapters to explain some things in current chatper, totally forget that he is the only person knowing so well those chapters, that he can instantly know what does he actually refeer to, if you want to ever write a book, do not do it conclusions: -human like all form of lives are designed to maximise their genetic potential -females and males have diffrent sexual strategy, becasue a) female is always sure of her motherhood, male is not in case of fatherhood b) female can have one babe at the time, few in a life span, male can reproduce almost "infinity" - his biology isn't the barrier - female startegy (deceptive) is a compromise between a provider and a lover provider - male that handle the resources and have good traits to take care of the offsprings, easiest to manipulate than the lover, more willing to settle down lover - best genes she can gets, more an alpha male, more likely to cheat her and leave her, cuz he can easily get other women as well an ideal from women perspective will be combination of both a lover that is willing to settle whith her, but probably more common is that they settele down with provider and then look an opportunity to cheat with a lover -many of the sexual behavior is driven by hormones at the cell levels, without concious control, at the unconcious level, the body has its own inteligence, and as it can heal itself without you, it also most likely pursuit the optimal reproductive strategy that is available to you at your current circumstances, without your consciousness, inevitable inclination - despite of your conscious choice of a partner, you might be not good biological match, and the body will know it, most likely nothing we can do about it yes we are just machines to pass the genes to next generation, don't be a fool - an orgasm for a woman is a tool to increase or decrease probability of pregnant, therefore she has some control of who will pass the genes even if she sleeps with more than one man -no fap movement is a joke, masturbation is typical behavior not only among human but also other species as well, and it's serves its purpose (not that you need to pursuit it, but repressing it and label it as bad, wrong and destructive is utter stupidity and only create unnecessary shame and tabu around it) - sexuality between women vary a lot, some have a lot of orgasm, some don't have it at all, some masturabte, some don't - some have orgasm while sleeping, other would not have idea what are you talking about inclanation for men: the way to be a better lover is more expirence with different kind of women, althout each is slighlt different ovrall you increased your probabilty to behave more accuratly to her needs and ways of stimiluating, which pua comunity has proven, the more women you seduced the easiest it gets with next one -i think author underestimate the anticonception and its influence, which is basically a standard nowadays -whether you like it or not, the sexual interest of your stable partner will decrease overtime, and not be as strong as lust for new people, this is body and hormones reaction -not sure how much this is true, but there are different types of bodies and genes as well as different types of reproduction strategy, therefore not each of them might fits to you and your body, seems like sometimes there is no point going against your nature. in my personal opinion: we are too much adaptable, and we will adapt to whatever circuments of the environment will find ourselves, so I'd rather put a question sign in this

hah it's not like that, when I read Osho it's more like you've already know that from the beginning, but for some strange reason society got everything backward, and you've forogtten of that basic truth (not always, don't get me wrong here) I'll insist "that you can give what you already have and you can't not give something you don't embodied yourself"

if it all that is, why do we know so little about it... and especailly how to raise it, or to work with it, if that even possible (also there is a lot of misconfusion about it - like all that high vibration movments no senses and manifestation, aka law of attraction - fairy tale people) what I experienced so far is that most people tend to stay the same their whole life, or even decrased overtime (become living stones)- there is no raise at all, it's very rare that individual is moving forward in life I myself can not clearly statement that I had any shift in my conciousness - despite of the all the work and effort surely I look and think about certain things differently than before - but that it's becasue some of paradigms shift - the knowleade I gained and I don't know is that equal = rasie of conciousness (seems like that is not necessarily the case) is raising of consciousness more like radical change-shift or rather something intangible that happen in the background without even knowing about ? therefore hard to notice

you're creating some religion my friend, there is no any devilry only scarcity and abundance, a person should be act according to where he/she believe is at

Osho says that the one should be selfish - nothing wrong about it only when you're happy yourself, when you're loving yourself - you will be sharing, just becasue of the joy of sharing. you can only give what you have therefore: "People should not be told to be altruistic. They are miserable—what can they do? They are blind—what can they do? They have missed their life—what can they do? They can give only what they have. So people are giving misery, suffering, anguish, anxiety to everybody else who comes in contact with them. This is altruism? No, I would like everybody to be utterly selfish." qute from the Intimacy make sense for me

I had bad period of self-development, basicly dropped all my habits (reading, mediation, eating healthy) for over 3 months, but i'm back on track slowly, I also will back to this techniqe cuz it was interesting, even painful - and frigthening :D, it really feels different with this higer level of oxygen - and I have no idea where does it lead so maybe I don't quit entirely but yeah I didn't do it

sorry, unfortunately no reaction the only stafe of no-self that i am able to recall was after reading "Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing" and it was overwhelming pointlessness of it all, I'd call that rather apathy than enlightenment, but i will try to meditate about no-self some more if that's the way

from last episode, let's I graps everything until 1h, but then I found the content to be unlogical if 1+1=3 is truth becasue it's exist how can I be not real? whatever is the I (an ilussion, a belief, identification, a concept, imagination) it's still here, exisiting (even if false) thefore it also must be parth of truth, becasue existing

imaginary or not, it exist ^.^ (as imagination) 2nd order of relevance do you feel my headache? that is what i don't get it for example justice is just conceptual. It exists as a concept. and it's not real, yet we can kind of make it real (not in matrial sense) btw how is it possible there is so much consistency in something imaginary, seems strange to me, like an illusion has it's own inteligence to keep it alive, it would make it a separate entity what is raw data?

I'd say it's your unique being, which none of all being seems to be exactly alike, at the same time all being is the same

if this all is one mind - oneness, why they are things, stuff, ideas, people, places even thoughts, moods, emotions ... etc all kind of things - that we resonate with, love, like, tolarate, accept, welcome, being open, or naturally driven towards etc and on the other hand - all kind of things that are we don't resonate - repulisive, disgust, not carring, dislike, moving or staying away from it| even if we look at this community (subculture) of enlightment, conciousness, self - actualized there is only small % of people who are into this, many people will never care about it and they seems to be fine, OK without it as well don't get it

@Nahm wtf - a lot offtopic in my post - you should rather clean it I don't give a shit about Jesus @Leo Gura you mean "You" as an ego, but if i am the distinction how can I not be it ? why don't I feel like im creating such a things - and instead of being the effect of the universe\reality - not the casue

I mean is this infinity of possibilities somehow we chose? or not (maybe that's randomness) one things over the others or that's only an illusion

I just have read it. ... I'm not even sure what was that ? wondering if this guys is serious or not - he even mentioned that his "mentor" talked nonseses to the crowd - and had fun from it but more important question is "how this is related to life purpose?" should I become a shaman and start tommorow? i'm as much clueless as I before I read it I guess he had some insight about conciouness from psychedelics, but that really hard to grasp or understand whitout any self-reference point expierences also at the end he seems to become a little bit "dark" like an infinity or psychedelics overwhleems him, this fantasy world nevertheless is some how curious , checking previous books will be helpful to find the meaning of his message or not nesserary? even more confusion? cuz I assume they won't be practical, rather something good to read before sleeping

I can easily sense what it's "me" the body where are the bondires where my feet meet the floor, that i'm stting on the chair right now that touches body here and there I don't feel anything outside the body... I don't feel I'm the floor nor do I have any sense of it I don't feel I'm the chair nor do I have any sense of it I can't aslo tell I'm aware of the chair, it might be only my imagination how that is nor real? why im not body sense? you're all deluded or maybe you haven't develop proper nervous system in childhood therefore misunderstood body sense ... prove me that i'm wrong

@Nahm "One cell appeared to divide and became your body. That is not actually possible. Keep that in your brain as you look at it. Lol." can you prove it I don't see anything wierd about it - there are organism in the see that merge togther and creates a bigger organism a virus also divide itself and creates an error in your computer eventually haha - very possible "And don’t allow yourself to ‘chalk it up to’ not having a memory of it. How can you flame you are you, and that is your body, if you have no direct expereince of this?" - I meant certain age - before 3 years old when you're totally unaware - just a bunch of insticits same thing happen when you're sleeping and your consciousness is off can you really tell you were there the whole night? how do you know?

@Truth Addict I it's just a word - word = mental construct I can't tell excatly where cuz it's not 2 dimenstion flat reality so you can't have a specific point but it's pretty obvious for me what is part of me and what is not part of me - the chair has nothing to do with me I'm just sitting on it so what is the point of truth? everyone can have his own turth can it be obtain only by your own discovery? @Nahm I was wondering about this also - the kid is unconcious as fuck, more like a machine/robot to some age, so I don't get it how cosnciousness can create a kid when it's clearly the other way around - he become conscious at some point when his brain attain certain states of development Was it your body before you could sense it? probably yes - but that is by observation the others, not a direct experience - the honest answer will be I don't know, I don't have memory of experience of such a thing What about when it was just one cell? i don't understand your question @SoonHei I'm not arguing that this is structure of systems working togther that creates you, but when you say Everything - I'm afraid you mean like I'm also random people on the street I've passed today @Salvijus wow bro thanks - instant enlightenment @Aakash what do you mean by understanding, I understand intellectually from physic that whatever is contain in this universe it's made out of the same stuff, becasue it's a byproduct of it, you can't be made of anything that is not contained in this universe - cuz it's not a part of this universe, and if you were than its contained - lol that doesn't mean I'm the chair or a star, does it? "what you need to understand is are you the neurones firing electrical impulses to all cells in the body" I guess this is what we call life, lack of this neurons firing electrical impulses = corps does the you who thinks its the body also the dna in the eyeballs that are able to see ? do these things also count as you ? not like specific part of the body is you, but the whole thing - reducing is inappropriate the single pixel it's not a Mario but certain group of pixel creates Mario

@Elisabeth do you breathing this way for 3h straight ? do you moisturize your mouth? is the facilitator really needed to assist the process or I can handle it easily alone at home? i'm glad for your relief

@billiesimon have you been traumatized earlier in life ?

I've seen Leo's Self inquiry tutorial today , I want to add it to my meditation routine whitch is sort of the mix of mindfullness/doing nothing/observing breath practice mostly 20 minutes per day (I've been doing it like 4 years straight) I hope self inquiry expand my conciousness faster if I good understand self inquiry is being aware of being aware - trying to observe awarness itself how long should I do this self inquiry? is it better to stuck the time 20 minutes meditation + 20 minutes self inquiry in one seesion or divided it for example 20 minutes in the morning - 20 minutes before sleep is it ok to listen music (meditative) or that is distraction? Thanks

@winterknight is self-inquiry in a nutshell becoming aware of being aware (observing the awareness itself) that's what I've understand from Leo's video guide @ivory according to Leo, yes you need to observe an awareness for a long period of time without mind distraction

@Mikael89 it's an analogy the film has its end regardless of everything skipping to end straight away doesn't seems that it will change that much and actually it might be quite on point think of the time before you were born is it closer to a vivid movie or a black screen

mix of vipassana and do nothing 20 minutes per day, sometimes more, also tried a lot "letting go" - im not sure is this Dawid Hawkins techniqe or some mix of it, focusing on sensation in body, see what's came up and let go by cycles of pranic breathing inheal for 6 pause for 3 exheal for 6 pause for 3, but nothing comes up and I don't feel anything (in terms of feelings, rather only thoughts)

how do I know what is the next step in my spiritual growth? I feel like I don't "make" progress - if that's not the wrong way of look it at anyway I don't have expierences of what those mystics says despite of my meditation pratice just mental constructs from what I heard or read, but that isn't enough

you gonna die anyway - there is no escape you can watch blackscreen or rest of the movie
