It seems like most men, myself included, want beautiful and attractive woman for relationships. But it seems like most woman aren't beautiful and attractive, so most man won't get what they want. But looks are subjective and how we view each other is dependent on the person viewing/judging the other person. Is it possible to adjust your perspective so every woman you meet is a 10/10 attractiveness and you don't judge any woman as ugly or unattractive? I know i want to be with a woman who is conventionally attractive but it would be cool to if i was with someone who was morbidly obese but i found her equally attractive because i had a god tier view of reality and people lol

In Breathe to fill the stomach and abdoment/sharp in breathe during the day: During the meditation do a gentle sharp in breathe to fill abdomen and make a very elongated gentle/gentle/calm out breathe Do This 10 Times Use the out breathe to let go. The out breathe makes it easier to let go and sink in to the here and now

@Emerald Yeah I agree with a lot of what you said. I don't have any real relationship experience outside of one off's, escorts, and dating apps. I'm sure my tastes will change once I form a real relationship. I feel like given where i'm at in life the woman i would be interested in would not be interested in me, so i'm waiting until i get my self together before pursuing relationships. I'm curious how my tastes/standards will change as i mature, part of me doesn't want to lose the ideal of a beautiful, smart, classy, etc woman as my partner but only time will tell if that will be reality.

@InterruptReQuest Maybe some traumatic feeling/experience is buried and when it comes in meditation you're becoming aware of your habit response of tensing to avoid said experience. Have you tried self inquiry or heard any talks by Rupert spira?

@DefinitelyNotARobot Yeah basically. She feels empowered because she knows if she didn't wear it she would be shunned by her family and friends lol

@InterruptReQuest You're likely becoming aware of tense parts of your body that you never payed attention to before. It's a good sign, the more you meditate the more stuff will come up and the more stuff about yourself you will become aware of. What is your practice?

@EddieEddie1995 How did you achieve your mystical experiences? What were your practices? How long did it take to have your first experience? Any advice?

@Flowerfaeiry You could have a society where they murder every 3rd child to please the wind gods, and it's possible you could have a kid saying he feels empowered knowing he's going to serve the wind god with his sacrifice.

I have a question about learning to relax while gaming. I've noticed that i'm easily triggered, and I tense up, while playing online competitive games. It really affects my performance, and it's difficult for me to just relax and have fun playing. Any thoughts on how to overcome this resistance? I was thinking maybe I should meditate in my gaming chair to get used to relaxing while playing, but I wonder if there are other techniques or methods that have worked well for alleviating this kind of performance anxiety. Any insights are appreciated.

@WhatAWondefulWorld Your experience as it is right now contains everything you want with respect to enlightenment and ending your suffering. Become aware of the fact that right now you are aware as you read this. You can't miss the fact that you're aware because right now you're aware reading this. If that resonates then recognize that right now you (the you that is aware) has a feeling tone to it, or a substance, or you have a nature. Rest as what you are, the self aware feeling awareness. Rest in that space. The act of seeking happiness in anything other than your direct experience of yourself is what will cause you suffering and prevent you from realizing that your experience right now contains everything you want. I got a lot of value from Rupert Spira's videos on how the nature of ourselves is the happiness we are seeking on the spiritual path. I basically use his videos as my guided meditations and it's been life changing.

Rest after the inbreathe. Rest in the space after the inbreathe.

Breakthrough. Incredible experience with music and resting as awareness. The key is the awareness. Being yourself. Being yourself and resting. The hardest part is to rest as pure awareness without the mind clinging to some object and getting distracted and caught up in experience. Fuck all my haters and fuck everyone who doubted me I fucking did it.

Rest as awareness. Just be aware. Don't make any effort beyond recognizing that you are aware. Then notice what arises. I think i'm making too much of an effort and the seeking is causing me to overlook the simplicity of being aware. There's definitely some trauma with the lower chakras with sexuality and bladder, but i wonder if these will be resolved with just being aware and abiding in that space.

Breathe deeply into the chest, stomach, and lower chakras. Engage the body with the breathe. Breathe into the mass of tension localized as the body/being. Don't make the breathing mechanical. The deeper the breathing, and the more parts of the body are engaged, the more relaxed the body will become. Breathe into the lower chakras.

Go to the experience of being aware. This is the beginning of deep practice. Once you are aware of being aware, then notice what happens from this place. I think i'm seeking from the space of being aware and that is blocking me from going deeper. Lose yourself in the experience of being aware. Get absorbed into that experience. Surrender to the experience. Breathe into the experience of being aware. You are awareness. There is nothing to seek. You are it. Breathe as yourself. Don't breathe to find yourself. Breathe and be yourself. Bring attention to the lower chakras and breathe and chant into them. The lower chakras contain a lot of energy and trauma for me so it's an important place to explore. Most important is to do multi hour floats more frequently. 2 days a week on my days off will be excellent.

His app is great, he has conversations with different spiritual teachers. I got introduced to jim newman and tony Parsons because of the app

Did you have permanent shifts that lasted after the trip? Like feeling more, love bliss etc?

Know thyself. Know the nature of knowing.

Tony Parson's is a G. I think I struck gold with his teaching. Knowing is everything.

@Gesundheit Dude are you even enlightened?

@Emerald Do you consider yourself enlightened after your ayahuasca trip?

The strength is in the spine. Put your attention to the spine and find strength. Put attention on the spine, and use that strength to keep attention on the breathe. Use the spine to go deeper into your feelings.
