That is the biggest fucking clue.
If enlightenment was truly a singular thing, as many teachers like to claim, then there would be no spiritual warfare. Every highly conscious person would agree. Except the opposite is the case. Hardly any highly conscious people agree with each other. If you study their teachings you will see that they aren't all conscious of the same things. And this is true across all spiritual and mystical and nondual schools. They all disagree with each other, and these disagreements are deeper than mere differences in words or interpretation. These teachers actually reside in different degrees of awakeness. They have different states of consciousness.
If you don't understand this, you will be deeply confused and lost as a student of this work. And you will never reach the highest consciousness.
Most enlightened teachers are not guiding to the highest consciousness possible. Because they don't even know what that is or how to teach getting there. You can't get there through self-inquiry or meditation. You can only get there by changing your neurochemistry.
Human neurochemistry is the only obstacle to Infinite Consciousness. All other obstacles are minor by comparison, and all other obstacles disappear as soon as the right neurochemistry is achieved. And if the right neurochemistry is not achieve, God himself cannot help. You're fucked in low consciousness forever. Spiritual techniques are useful to the extent that they change your neurochemistry. By not tell you this, all your gurus deceive you and themselves. Which is why genetics, nutrition, toxins, and diseases are such important obstacles to awakening. If any of those things are wrong, you will never awaken. Which is true for most people. From person experience with heavy metal toxicity I can tell you straight up that if you have too much heavy metal in your brain, you will never awaken. Your brain functions so poorly you cannot even meditate for 2 minutes.
But hey, maybe Leo is full of shit. Go find out what is true for yourself.

Orange luxury is a Ferrari or a nice oceanside villa.
Red luxury is a diamond carved into your skull or a golden statue of yourself.
Red luxury tends to be so excessive it is absurd. An oceanside villa is not that. Most people would like to live in an oceanside villa. But few people who like wealth would want a diamond carved into their skull.

This is the error right here.
Selfishness is not limited to that.
Selfishness is anything you do to survival the self.
For example, eating food is selfish.

Maybe in 10 or 20 years I will share the full story.
But you can't do today what I did. The market has moved on. The online market changes rapidly and old opportunities close quickly if you don't seize them. If you want to succeed in biz you gotta be innovative and on the cutting edge, not asking others and copying 10-year old strategies. That is a plan for failure. Your job as a biz leader is to discover a new path. If you cannot do that then you don't deserve to be in business.
Yes, that's rough, but biz is rough. You must be exceptionally creative and hard working to succeed. You must be willing and able to carry a large weight on your back solo, for years, without anyone holding your hand or giving you emotional comfort.

That's one option. There are many different spiritual practices you could do instead. I think Kriya yoga is one of the best. Mindfulness mediation with labeling is also very powerful if done rigorously. See my video: Mindfulness Meditation, also see my video The Important of Real Yoga.
Yes
Yes, this is challenge if you're new. You need to spend a good deal of time researching your options and then sit down and draw up a plan of what you'll be focusing on. Go with what feels most right for you. There is no one size fits all plan. You are unique and need a unique plan designed by you.
Don't feel guilty or bad if you spend a year or more just watching videos and reading books to get your bearings. You need an big picture idea of what all the methods are and what is worth doing and what is not. Education is not a waste of time it is a crucial first step. You want a decent view of the whole territory so that you don't get stuck in some dead end or trivial pursuit.

Some people can tolerate it. Many cannot.
There's nothing really good about it. It's basically empty calories and toxins. Wheat has a lot of pesticides in it and it is poorly digested by the gut because it was been so over-bred to be pest-resistant.
The thing is, if you are young, you will feel like nothing can hurt you regardless of what shit you eat. Then, as you age it all catches up to you.
When I was young I could eat wheat and drink 3 cokes a day without worries. Today I am paying for it.
Optimizing your diet requires a very long-term view: decades. If you only consider how it makes you feed today, you will eat a lot of shit and still feel okay.

Obviously rice, oats, polenta, and quinoa have no gluten, so they are much better than wheat.
White long-grain rice seems to be one of the best grains, if you're looking for quick and cheap calories.

@Preety_India Well, if you have a brain disorder, the most important move would be to cure that first. Otherwise you are fundamentally limited.
Aside from that, the best way to learn writing is to pick a couple of your favorite authors -- whose writing style and articulation you most admire and aspire to be like -- and read their books sentence by sentence and start writing it out sentence by sentence to learn the structure. Then try writing out your own original sentences in that style. If you do that patiently and diligently you will adopt their writing style. You can combine multiple authors together into some original combination so that you don't come off as a copycat.
It's actually a very simple process. Just a bit tedious.

@The0Self Sorry for being arrogant or mean  i still believe that humans being herbivores is accurate. We are primates. And yes, other primates kill and eat each other. But they still eat mostly plants. Don't tell me that the small amount of meat that they eat is what's keeping them healthy and alive. And what we actually see in humans is that the more populations get their calories from plants, the longer they live and the healthier they are.
 Show me the people living 100+ years eating mostly animal products. I don't see any. 

No high consciousness person would be allowed within 100 miles of Washington DC.
We barely were able to elect Biden, and you are complaining about high consciousness people not being there. You were born 200 years too early for that. Even the idea that someone like me could be elected already shows a deep flaw in your understanding of how these systems work. I have a better chance jumping to the moon with a pogo stick.

This is a more general paradox of non-attachment: those who are most needy get the least, while those who are not-needy get the most.
For example, people who need money the most end up having the least of it. Because desperation is not a good place to earn money from. Likewise, neediness for sex or relationship is not a good place to get quality sex or relationships from.
In general, when you are in a negotiation the one with the least attachment has the advantage. And sexual relationships are certainly a negotiation.
You can be strong and independent but still interested in relationship and communion. It does not have to only be for her body.
Pretty much. Females are always attracted to high-value males regardless of culture.
You're conflating things. These kind of celebrities actually tend to be very assertive with their agenda. MJ manipulated people into sex way more than any PUA.
Because attracting women requires a certain realism and pragmatism. You don't get laid on fairy tales. Women will ruthlessly cull you out. Women are ruthless about this stuff despite their stories and excuses. As a man you gotta we wise to their games otherwise you will end up jerking yourself off to sleep in tears.
The collective experience of the entire attraction community. I started out as the biggest nice guy and I went through much pain to learn not to treat women like princesses. A big part of becoming a strong and high-value man is learning how to set your own frames and not letting any girl sway you with her games.
Sorry, I don't buy it.
You are trying to logic your way about attraction and that is not how attraction actually works. Your logic flies out the window in real-life attraction scenarios.
Because otherwise she won't respect the man. For a woman to be attracted to a man she needs to feel that the man is higher value than her.
I did not give rigid rules. I gave general principles of attraction from the male POV. This is what men need to understand to properly get laid. If they don't understand these things, they will end up suffering.
There are principles to attraction. I didn't invent them. Attraction works how it works.
Don't forget, dating and mating is a bit of a bloodsport. It is not all rainbows and butterflies. It is survival first and foremost. There are painful lessons for the ego to learn in this game.

I like the tall guy who treats me like a kid. I like endearing terms. 
Like for example, every time my ex used to call me a dummy, I used to get turned on. So he began calling me "silly" during every conversation. Even piglet. 
Then he began calling me "leetul" the alternative version of "little" and he used to call "the leetul woman" although I'm quite tall.. 
I get some kick out of being treated like a kid in the relationship. I easily get attracted to those type of men who are stronger, domineering, protective and treat me like a little kid. 
But if the guy is trying to treat me like a woman, in the sense the conventional graceful grown lady, it puts me off instantly. Because he is expecting me to behave right. I find it boring because I don't get to be playful around him. I feel suffocated around such men because I'm supposed to be coy around them and that is to me is like putting on an act. I like to be submissive and feminine but mixed with childishness and innocent playfulness. 

Hannah Arendt famously interviewed and studied Nazi officers after the war.
What she discovered was the shocking "banality of evil." None of them was really evil. They were just being good profressional stage Blue rule followers. Mike Pence types.
Your average Nazi was just a pawn in Hitler's schemes. Similar to your average Trump voter.
Many German intellectuals, scientists, and philosophers were supporters of the Nazi party. Like Martin Heidegger. Because few people think for themselves about anything. Even awakened people are fucking sheep for the most part.
You can be awake but social pressure will still drive you to delusion. People underestimate the power of culture and ideology. Awakening does not make you immune to cultural biases.
In 500 years spiritual people will be asking, How could someone have been enlightened and still a capitalist? The same way ya'll asking about Nazis.

Yes, you are stuck in your personal selfish biases. You are not seeing or caring about the female's survival agenda, instead pushing your own.
A woman needs a weak man as much as you need a dick in your mouth.
What I said does not preclude intimacy.
You are asking for feminine containment and then immediately asking for a gay friend. You can have one but not both.

Don't underestimate how selfish and careless more girls are. She isn't some saint. She's blindly following her own survival agenda. She will not give two fucks about flaking on you.
Yeah, well, it goes both ways. Hurt feelings come with the territory of dating. Most girls don't give a fuck if they step all over your survival agenda.
My personal rule is that there is no relationship until sex.
But you may feel otherwise. I set my rules based on my deep experience of what works and what does not.
Of course you can try doing it the other way and get some results, but it's not a good overall dating strategy.
Remember, that is HER frame. You can choose to play by her frame or set your own frame. Will setting your own frame lose you some girls? Sure, but it will get you many more others. As a general rule, the guy should be setting the frame, not the girl. At least from the guy's POV that makes the most sense. If you like being a pussy you can buy into her frame.
Ahahahahaha!
That's none of her business.
If she is asking this kind of question you already did something wrong.
From the moment she meets you she should realize that you are a high value guy who is highly social and desirable to many girls. She should feel that if she does not snap you up soon you will move on to other girls. She should feel like you could bang a new girl every night if you wanted to.
First cum, first served
Good!
No, she won't get hurt. She will desire you even more because she recognizes how attractive and high-value you are.
Attraction is highly counter-intuitive. You think that by being meek and humble and loyal and nice that this will make girls attracted to you, but it's the opposite. With that strategy you will lose many girls and mostly attract the weakest and lowest-value ones.
A girl's fantasy is to lock down a player/knight in shining armor who is a pussy magnet. Not some meek nice guy who will beg her for sex like a panhandler begs for nickles. Regardless of whatever bullshit story she tells you, she wants a high-value guy. Period. No amount of talking or excuses will change that. And the #1 clue of a high-value guy is that he can get laid any day he wants to.
One of the most attractive things you can do is to show up to a party with a bunch of hot girls at your side, orbiting around you like groupies. This will make you appear WAY more attractive to all the other girls, creating a feeding frenzy for your dick.
Deep down she wants to know that you could fuck any girl in the world, but you choose to only fuck her because she is so special to you. That is her ultimate fantasy.
If the particular girl you want is insecure, you can dial all this down a bit. But there is no shame at all for her to perceive you as sexually active. As a man, you don't need to hide the fact that you're a bit of a player. Don't explicitly say so. It should just be a vibe you give off. Girls will smell it.
Consider Brad Pitt. Every girl knows he can fuck whoever he wants whenever he wants -- and probably does so. And this is why every girl dreams of landing him.
If you want the most brutal truth, dating multiple women not only doesn't hurt your chances, it increases it, and the more women you date the higher your chances get. This is so true that it can get easily abused to sociopathic levels. PUAs abuse this principle all the time. I don't recommend you do that. I recommend you find a nice balance that does not crush girls hearts nor inflate your ego. You can be strong and assertive without being a total scumbag.

@ginger28 Nothing will get a girl to dump you faster than lack of leadership, indecisiveness, and insecurity, which forces her to be the leader.
Tisk, tisk.
You gotta get your shit together and take charge of the situation. You lead she follows.

No. Take her like you own her. But also seduce her with teasing and withholding. Make her crave you.

David Deida explains all this nicely to guys in his books.
Make her feel like a girl and she will love you.

The only solution I know is:
A) Psychedelics
B) Very rigorous week-long retreats where you meditate nonstop using something like labeling. It will be hell and you suck it up and do it.

Oddly, caffeine has no effect on me. I get no boost from it, nor any addiction or withdrawal.
Modafinil FTW!

No idea. Everyone reacts differently.
You are probably carrying around a bunch of lies, wounds, trauma, and egoic shit in your mind which the mushrooms are trying to surface.
As you purify your mind trips should get deeper and more blissful. But there can be a long purification process. It all depends on how dirty your mind is.
Or maybe you just have a negative physical reaction to mushrooms for some weird genetic reason. In which case you can try other psychedelics to see if they fit you better. Mushrooms are pretty squirrely.

@GreenLight Ultimately you're gonna have to do consciousness work on that anger.
Anger is often just a cloak for hurt.
If you are angry a lot, you must introspect deeply to discover the hurt inside you. Who deeply hurt you and why? And you will have to acknowledge this and heal/forgive that hurt. That is the real solution here. Not hitting bags or people.
Your anger is actually armor you created to keep yourself from feeling deep hurt. To take off that armor you will have to experience the hurt that you've been avoiding and denying. Allow yourself to feel hurt rather than posturing with anger.

I could shoot exactly the same video in which I show how ineffective conventional western medicine is.
At least 50% of western medicine is bullshit that masquerades as "science".

The best of BLUE

This is a path to devilry and we will not be doing that here.
