I have experience with his teachings, I don't get it perfectly but I think I have a good understanding of the practice. What specific practice are you doing, and what are you struggling with? @herghly

Highly recommend this guy for learning more about mindfulness meditation.

@nistake I've been struggling to really "get it" over the past few months but he has been one of the best teachers at giving out pointers. I love how he provides multiple glimpses and you can see what works for you. It's funny because the effortless mindfulness is so simple and easy to do, but having someone remind you makes a world of difference.

The country will destabilize when the us leaves. But I don't think the us should spend billions to keep the lid on a stage red disaster scenario

What is my weak spot? You think i'm projecting because I don't have money lol?

I wasn't talking just about money. A person can have the psychology of a gold digger without wanting money specifically. I'm also skeptical that you are purely attracted to the person given how many times you've mentioned money, cars etc

@Vzdoh Is he content with you not wanting children? I'm assuming many high earning men desire children, especially if they are willing to get into a long term relationship, otherwise what is the incentive for this guy to get into a long term relationship? I get the sense that you are viewing this guy as sort of prey given he has a number of desirable characteristics. I could be projecting this, but i think it could be bad if he got the sense that you are hunting him/want something from him.

@Vzdoh Are you hoping to get married to this guy? 3 months seems very quick to move in together. Theres a chance (a high one in my view) that if you rush him he will simply withdraw and move on. Are you certain he wants a serious, committed relationship?

@StarStruck This is not something I personally struggle with. I'm just aware of this phenomena and I thought it could be interesting ti discuss

@Leo Gura Okay if you aren't interested in the topic then so be it. I thought it was interesting and maybe it could be an interesting discussion.

@Leo Gura It would be nice if you could engage with the topic.

@Lubomir Doesn't it bother you that your girlfriend doesn't respect you enough to stay loyal to you? Seems like a recipe for disaster if you commit to a woman like this.

His app is great. He has a bunch of different teachers on there and it's a great way to broaden your spiritual horizons

There are way more attractive than Margot Robbie. No I wouldn't. That kind of shit is low consciousness. There is way better ways to spend your time than cheating with random thots. I would only get into a relationship with someone I liked enough to not want to cheat on. Would you want your daughter to marry/date a guy who would cheat at first chance?

Awesome story man. I think it's not necessary to convey you are sexually interested so quickly, in most cases it's implied. There's no upside to it. Either she already finds you attractive or she is still determining whether she finds you attractive and you jump the gun.

Would you support open boarders to your country? There could still be vetting for criminals etc, but the basic idea would be if someone from another country wanted to come to your country they would be free to do so. I'd be curious to hear a few reasons why you are either for or against this idea.

I have no real outlets for my rage so idk. I'd be afraid that people could hear me screaming

@Raphael How does screaming into a pillow get the anger out?

This is a good point.

Survival. If she chooses a weak, nice guy and has a child then she is potentially screwed. Weak men aren't good at surviving.

That's not true at all lol wtf. If you have a quality partner then you won't really be upgrading with whoever you cheat with. There's not a good reason to cheat if you are happy and in a relationship with someone you like. Random sex is like a step up from masterbation.

Had my first date with the girl from hinged. It was great. We went to a park and walked around talking for a few hours. She was better looking in person which was a nice bonus. She is very down and I was surprised how easy it was to get physical. The only down side is she can't really stay out late and her family is somewhat strict. But it is nice to have someone who is of a similar culture. I don't have to deal with any bs that some men seem to deal with western woman.

How do I experience Love. I had an insight the other day and I believe a path to happiness is to fully love and accept whatever arises in your experience at any time. I can notice certain sensations and feelings present, and I can tell that I am being loving and accepting of everything present in my direct experience. I want to fully love whatever arises, but I am not a loving person so I can't tell if I am doing it right. I can shift to a mindset of nurture and somewhat caring, and I can feel the difference, but it still feels like I am not accepting my direct experience to the best of my ability.

I've actually made a lot of progress by switching my mindset in meditation towards accepting and loving everything that arises. But I still haven't managed to fully accept and experience the bliss and awesomeness from my peak psych trips. Like last night i managed to accept myself to the point where feelings of disgust came up, and based on my past trips if I can go into the sensation of disgust there is a great relief and release that comes from going deeper and transcending disgust, but I ended up avoiding the sensation and just patting myself on the back for going so deep. It just seems so simple, so when I can't do it i get frustrated. Like accept what is=happiness. But I still find myself here suffering and not enjoying what is.

@Someone here Try learning more about inner child work and how to reparent yourself and love yourself. I think you will keep a hitting a wall with non-duality/meditation until you resolve some of the underlying traumas that are driving your fear, unhappiness etc. Learn how how to accept and love every part of yourself.
