Wow that's shocking. I used to love their prank videos.

@Zeroguy "Whatever you have asked for in prayer believe that you have received it and it will be yours" - Jesus I've been playing with this since last night. I'm trying to live as though god granted me the 1 million and live from that space. That's what Jesus was pointing too

I'm not worrying about how. I'm just praying to God and then letting god decide the path. I think part of the reason we exist is to be selfish, if we were completely selfless we wouldn't exist as humans typing this. I'm hoping that by continuing to pray and as I keep asking god for guidance, eventually things will unfold.

@Jacobsrw Do you plan on getting married or having an LTR? I've always liked the idea of finding a single partner who was so attractive, desirable, compatible etc but i'm not actually sure what is the wisest relationship choice. Maybe some form of communal polyamory, idk.

I've been praying to god to bless me with an income of 1 million dollars per year. The good thing is it's easy to remind myself to say the prayer because I really want money right now, so let's see how this unfolds. The logic would be as follows: Everyone has inherent blessings just in being alive and aware. We do nothing to deserve our own life and awareness, it is granted by god. So maybe it's possible for god to bless me with 1 million dollars per year in income. I feel a calming energetic shift when I switch into prayer mode so that's a great sign. If I am granted 1 million dollars per year that will be so cool

Hey I'm curious if anyone has any experience with big corporations and how job/role creation works. I work in the weigh-room of a big corporate lab and I want to know if it's possible to enter into a role that fulfills what I want out of job in terms of income and flexibility. I took this job when I was really depressed and never really took it seriously, but i'm at a different point in my life now and I've developed a great reputation with my bosses and coworkers because I offer to do parts of their jobs for them. I basically view my job as volunteering to try and make everyone's life around me easier, so I think I am well loved by my local bosses. I have a meeting with my manager coming up in a few weeks, and I was thinking if maybe I could ask if I can find a different role in the company. I really believe I could essentially do any role and I could probably help the corporation in a bunch of ways, but I don't expect typical corporate employees to buy into my delusions of grandeur so I'm at a cross roads. Unless I can get an ideal work situation from the corporation it makes no sense for me to accept promotions or change what I'm doing because I am content with my hours and progress in aspects of life and I can probably find a way to satisfy my money needs through other means, but if it's possible with my corporation that would be great too. Any thoughts?

Sweet, yeah i've been doing them for 2 weeks now. And I haven't masterbated in about 10 days, I credit it to the pc clench and having more control over my energies. That's interesting. The PC clench works the root chakra, so this is the foundation of our energy and our sense of security in our bodies

@Zeroguy Which one did you find useful? I like the sexual mastery one because learning to use the pc clench and bring energy into the root chakra is really powerful imo. But I think the one about a fast way to enlightenment can be very helpful too, I was contemplating it last night and it reduced by mental tension when I accepted the internal resistance as god No problem bro i'm glad you liked it

I have no idea how to tame that impulse. The witnessing can work if you just witness the raw sensation of the impulse and develop equanimity with the sensation, but idk how long it would take to reach that level of proficiency. Why not just accept the impulse and form a friendship? I think it's healthy to have some human interaction, especially if you can develop some intimacy with another human being. You can try doing PC clenches and bring into energy into your root chakra. Maybe if you feel more energized and grounded you will be less controlled by your compulsions.

What's the issue with your loneliness if it's not causing depression? I have talked with a few friends from this forum, I just pmed them or we had some other interaction from dm. I think Leo is okay with conversations outside the forum, as long as they aren't leading to formation of new communities outside the forum. But forming friendships isn't a big deal I don't think

I think that counts, so maybe you can ignore what I said. I would say maybe you could find another technique, or maybe go back to the same or similar vipassana teacher and ask about your blocks and see if they can provide guidance. I know one person here @Salvijus was doing intense self inquiry for a few years I think before learning kriya yoga from one of Sadhgurus isha kriya centers and he dropped self inquiry for sometime because of how profound and effective Kriya yoga was for him. I don't think you need a teacher permanently, but for the initial practice I think having a teacher is essential.

@Barbara I would say find a teacher, or better yet, go to something like Isha Kriya (Sadhguru's program) where they teach you a specific practice in person. I spent years doing robotic meditation where I wasn't sure if I was getting results, but in hindsight I should have just bit the bullet and gone to a reputable teacher in person. A guru's grace is incredibly important, and not often discussed. If you look at the history of popular teachers like Mooji and Rupert Spira, both received grace on their path and you can see it as a turning point in their spiritual journey's.

@itachi uchiha Find friends online to speak to. You can Skype, zoom etc. Its not the same as in person, but it's a good alternative and theres less resistance

@Recursoinominado I'm trying to resolve this issue for myself too. It's not about just the beliefs and mindsets imo, you have to address this at the level of energy and emotion in the body/being. Do you have any stomach issues? Do you have an issue with processing and releasing emotions like grief, jealousy, guilt, or shame? You want to align with the vibration and energetics of wealth, which will require changing your state of being by understanding and processing emotional and energetic trauma

@Zeroguy He comes from a yoga lineage with shakti pat so his energy is different. You can almost feel it when you have a convo with him. Have you ever heard of a pc clench? He said you can have full body orgasims without ejaculating when you develop the muscle. He recommends 1000 per day but I've had benefits just doing them whenever I remember throughout the day

@patricknotstar Become a high quality person who provides value to others and lives an interesting and authentic life. Your own magnetism will lead to status, you don't even have to try.

How can you engage in casual sex without the fear of getting a woman pregnant, who then wants to keep the child? I never really thought about this because I've always used a condom but even then there is still the risk. This thought makes me never want to engage in casual ever again.

Awareness of ultimate reality. Knowing your own conscious presence as it is. To know consciousness is to know god. Knowing consciousness is knowing who/what you are before birth. We are all intimately connected to ultimate reality at every moment. Be the silent observer of ultimate reality

This guy is really good I think

Good mentors are invaluable

@Zeroguy What is the best way to utilize these insights? I see their point and I am a (shitty) hedonist but i don't know what that means. Thanks for the videos

Wow lucky. Was that the game changer for you with your spiritual progress?

Woman care about height. Do you care about a beautiful figure and a pretty face? If you're 5ft6 you can use lifts to be 5ft9 and your time pulling will be way easier

@Leo Gura Woman are in general not attracted to short men, and they have an arbitrary cut off in their minds of what is short and what is not passable. I think if you get over 5ft9 you will bypass this auto filter
