I don't know anything about the monks from Mount Hiei.
But Blue stage has glimpses of infinity and turns it into dogma.
So it's not that they don't have glimpses. It's how they "react" to the glimpses.

When done in a rigid Blue ecosystem like a monastery, mediation can keep you Blue.
In practice Zen monks evolve to Turquoise on the spiritual/metaphysical line but remain underdeveloped on the other lines because meditation alone will not develop all lines.

then why are many Zen monks at Stage Blue? @Leo Gura

What’s the point if it doesn’t stabilise into some kind of a (permanent - not literally, you know what I mean) shift in consciousness.
You can’t keep tripping on 5-Meo forever

Being like Tony Robbins is not a good thing. The dude is obsessively Orange. Like a carton caricature of Orange.

Of course guys with autism/Aspergers tend to struggle especially much in this area, however, today there are so many guys who are not autistic who are socially awkward simply due to lack of experience -- because they spend so much time online or playing video games. I used to be very socially awkward, but not because I was autistic, simply because I lacked experience.
The solution is to go gain massive experience in this area.
Owen from RSD is autistic. He is an example of how a struggling abused autistic kid can turn his life around. His videos show you the effort and principles it takes to do that.

No, it doesn't.
You cannot maintain life at the highest levels. Which is why your baseline state is so much lower than the peaks that are possible. It's like living on top of Mt Everest, you can only do it for a short amount of time.

@AMTO You can use thought to change your life. But thought is very limited. You can't use it to change the speed of light.
Changing how you think about yourself will slowly change how people think about you. But indirectly.
For example, if you think you're not attractive, others will think the same. If you change that to feel you are very attractive, others will start to get attracted to you. This is inner game 101, and it works.

If you feel suicidal please get some help as the others have suggested. I actually did have a suicide attempt 13 years ago. Put myself into a coma for 5 days on life support. There were complications and I messed myself up a bit. I had pneumonia from fluid draining into my lungs while being vented, then they couldn't get me off the oxygen for 2 1/2 weeks. I'm lucky I didn't get brain damage. 
My point is things go wrong during suicide attempts and you can mess yourself up. Like jumping off a bridge and becoming a quadriplegic, instead of dying.
Here I am 13 yrs later and everything is fine. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. 
Don't do it.

You need both, to be serious and detached from outcome at the same time. Be passionate with the pursuits you engage in, but not attached to what may come from them.

I have been mediating for years but not consistently until now and I understand all too well how the monkey mind tries  to talk you out of your routine. I have realized the following:
1)The less I feel like meditating the more I need to.
2)I have never finished meditating and thought "That was a waste of time.". On the contrary, I always feel exponentially better: refreshed, positive and energetic. 
I am not claiming these are original, but they are what do the trick for me when my lying monkey mind tries to tell to skip my meditation. 

Hey guys how is it going ? I just came across this insight few days ago and I would like to share this with you, I think about this and it is very helpfull in all aspects of life.
Work on your goal delegently and you will achieve it sooner or later.
So why be frustrated, angry, anxious and envious during the process ? 
Just enjoy life the way it comes.
Even if you don't achieve your goals, Why be frustrated, angry, anxious and envious ?
Just enjoy life, follow the mastery process and accept drudgery.
I would like to hear your most powerful insights too, please share them down below.

The fundamental problem is that Benny is still very young and immature.
A horny 30 year old guy is in no position to lead a spiritual community. It is foolish that anyone thinks he could.
Why do you think I never started one? I knew it would obviously turn into a shitshow that distracts from serious work.
It's like herding a bunch of horny cats.

Many red flags that I explained in my Cult Psychology video.
"Awaken the world", "demonic entities", getting girls naked in front of a group, traveling around the world together, expensive hotels, asking to borrow followers money, sleeping around with multiple girls, partying together, an elite group of spiritual seekers, trying to control girls behaviors, hijacking a girls Instagram account -- haha, what a load of shit. None of this will lead to awakening.
People are not interested in awakening, they are interested in playing spiritual games within a spiritual community. It's like a country club/nightclub for New Agers. Of course girls get drawn into that and end up fucked because girls are such social creatures. It's a combination of status game, social circle game, and spiritual games. This is a hot spiritual girl's wet dream. She gets lured.

Yes, basically be a lot more social and you will get laid. How exactly you do that is up to you and depends on your lifestyle and location.

I wanted to give some thoughts on Leo's "How To Get Laid" series. Overall, it was incredibly insightful to watch, as someone who struggles with this aspect of personal development the most (Dating and Relationships, hookups aren't my thing). 
To give some background, I am 23 years old, and haven't had much success with dating in recent years. A year ago, I read Models by Mark Manson, after getting ghosted by someone I had strong feelings for. The first few chapters of Models made me cry, however, as I progressed through the book I started to realize that these were "Models" I could start to observe and practice, such as having a low investment strategy (having the confidence to ask someone out when you feel a connection, not being a pen pal for a century) showing interest, social cues, where to meet people you like, etc.
I started going out to meet people as regularly as I could afford to, with varying results, which I have to admit was frustrating at times given the pandemic (now that things are opening up a bit, I recommend taking advantage of that as much as you can, depending on your circumstances). I took dancing classes, yoga, went to artsy events, and shows of local bands. Dancing was tough because I didn't really connect with anyone, it felt weird being the only guy in class. There was one time in yoga I had the guts to go up and talk to this cute redhead, but I assumed she would be in the next class, so I didn't ask for her info (which bit me in the ass). It might be worth trying to meet people through a yoga class, but if you decide to do this, you have to go consistently (weekly or biweekly) which can get a little pricy if you do it every week (roughly 20 USD a class), and show up early to have a chance to have a conversation with someone. Another problem I found with yoga was I would rarely see people my age. Classes mostly had people in their 30s or above, so you have to be a bit strategic with this, go to all the classes, and figure out which ones have the age group you fit in. I've noticed early mornings on weekends tend to have people closer to my age (this is my experience, it could be different for you). If you want to meet someone this way, you have to be consistent and strategic (don't just blatantly hit on someone and make them uncomfortable, also, be sure to stare at everyone's ass for an equal amount of time to "just learn the pose" ). 
Personally, I found that events and local music shows are the best way to meet someone. You're already in a place with people of similar taste, so it's really easy to connect with them. You can just ask who's playing tonight, what genre of music they like, etc. (if you ever wonder what to say next just use mirroring and repeat 1 to 3 words they just said). Local shows are also a great opportunity because in between bands it's a good time to socialize. If you're early, it's a good time to socialize when the doors open as well. Local shows are also cheap! 10, 15, 20 bucks a show tops, usually 10 or 15 though. Hippy type events can also be a great way to meet spiritual people as well (though the access to these varies depending on where you live, I had to drive from CT to NY and NJ to go to these). 
This is where I would like to offer some feedback on the "How to Get Laid" series. Leo has a background in Pickup, where men "cold call" women essentially. From my perspective, there's nothing wrong with this per se, it can even be a good way to build confidence and overcome fear of rejection. I did something similar last year, if I saw someone I thought was really attractive, I would just ask her out and give my card (with my number on it). This helped me overcome fears of rejection (that I would get #metoo'd and my life would be ruined). Although I didn't get any dates this way, I was pleasantly surprised to discover they would blush instead. The problem with talking to any random, beautiful woman on the street is that it is not precise. How do you know you have anything in common? Or that you have similar values and life goals? You just find her attractive. I admire that Leo did this so many times, it must have been extremely tedious and demoralizing. However, doing this hundreds of times seems like a large time investment (counter to Manson's low investment strategy). 
The biggest takeaway I got from this series, was that I need to intentionally go out and be more social, on a consistent basis. When I plan my week every Sunday, I deliberately make going out a priority, finding out what's going on that week. Leo even mentioned that throwing events and parties is a really good way to meet someone. Even though naturally you could say I'm an introverted person, which is the case for a lot of intellectually minded people (and a bit of a curse at times). We still have this yearning for social connection. In my experience, going somewhere with intention is a way better strategy for meeting someone to date. Over the course of the last year, I asked out a dozen girls, and went on 2 dates in the winter (It didn't work out for personal reasons I won't go into, but it's progress from 0 dates over 2 years previous LOL). Finding places where you find people you like will make this process easier, and more fun as well.  
I just wanted to provide some thoughts on this subject because it's one that I struggle with, and am quite passionate about (I even made a documentary about it last summer). To anyone reading this (especially if you're a young guy like me) I have a great deal of compassion for your circumstance. It can be quite painful, and even embarrassing to put yourself out there at times, but it sure beats staring at a screen for hours a week, hoping that someone will finally swipe right on you. 
To close, I recommend giving meetup.com a try and seeing what's near you, spend a few hours one weekend finding what's closest, and what you are most passionate about. If you have any thoughts on this subject I'd love to hear any of your suggestions, and to share your journey as well, especially if you're trying to navigate dating in your 20s. 
 
 
 

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but evil does not exist.

1) Hitler was not evil.
2) Putin is not Hitler.

Spiral Dynamics has nothing to do with spirituality, it's a model describing the evolution of values. Values are goals that people deem desirable, and norms are ways in which you can achieve these goals. Spiral Dynamics only describes values, not only does it have nothing to do with spirituality, but it also says nothing about how people ought to behave.

Indeed
Crucial distinction.
Of course it's possible to emotionally manipulate young girls into anything. You could probably brainwash them into sexual slavery for spiritual purposes.

Except Benny here has exception consciousness and his core teachings have substance and validity. So he's not just acting spiritual.
But of course charisma can take you far. People are suckers for being charmed.

It would be naive to believe word for word what an unhappy student said. Not saying it isn't true, but I'm pretty sure there'd be a lot of projecting going on as well. Will be interesting to hear his response to these allegations.

@Migue Lonas
These stories read as incredibely self-biased to me.
Which is NOT to say I don’t believe these women or that they weren’t legitimately harmed. But does that mean Ben is “a walking dementor”,“monster”, and “predator” who “couldn’t be more closer to the devil”?
We need more sides of the story.

I mean, the prices he charges tells you everything you need to know about his operation.

3 second rule. You see hot girl and you approach. Don't wait for any signals.
I once saw a girl at the gym running on the treadmill with earbuds on. I walked in front of her treadmill. Did a big wave at her. Signaled her to stop running and take out her earbuds. She complied with all that. Then I told her I found her cute. We exchanged numbers. We went on a date. She had a boyfriend. I made out with her. But she refused to come home with me. And that was that.
Don't let any minor obstacles stop you. If she's on her phone with her mom, you stop her and tell her to hang up on her mom. I've done that and gotten laid from it. Hot girls are attracted to leadership.
