Do you have to cater to the masses if you have a big podcast like his.

Tell me you don’t want to know what the sausage is made of without telling me you don’t want to know what the sausage is made of

God is all powerful

So what can it manipulate then?

Doesn’t make sense. Somebody must have made that truth. And god is creator of everything.

All the hot girls come to the west. Why would you move to a shit hole country just for some advantageous situation in terms of dating. Life is much more than dating. These are usually guys with no game and trying to use their power position to get some.

Passion is a product of the heart. You have to develop a relationship with something like a piano before loving it. Just raw dogging the piano without developing intimacy with it will only give you so much fun.

So I met this Ukrainian girl off the street and she doesn’t speak any languages I speak. So we talked using google translate. God bless tech. And it was all fun and dandy and she was all pumped up but after a while it was hard to vibe. I’m not sure if it was my wrong doing or just natural way things go when you don’t speak the same language. We had good amount of fun over coffee and I invited her for a walk and the walk was not as fun as the coffee date. I’m ok with spiking emotions but after a while one has to more over to vibing/chilling and that is usually done with exchange of little words but that is not possible if you don’t speak the same language. Like the first 30-60 minutes was ok and then the vibe was a little off. I still got her number and planned a follow up for next Tuesday but I’m not sure how to proceed after that. Being in a relationship with her will be tiring. Perhaps some fun and such. Teach her some English and have sexy time doesn’t sound bad in my ears. But the problem I describe I also have with some same language dates. If the date is going well I become self conscious, lock up, and not being able to vibe. I have this thousand mile death stare and most girls just copy that vibe I give off and I suspect that is the vibe killer.

Solipsism says the only thing that exist is the self. No self says there is no self. So how can both be true?

I don’t understand what you are saying here

I always thought that reality was god having multiple dreams but you guys say that is not true. There is only one dream and it is happening right now? How is that even possible? It is more plausible that god is having one individual dream at a time, dies and respawns again to have another dream. That wouldn’t contradict solipsism right?

He says that finding love is hunting an animal inside of yourself. Couple of days I found this love inside of me and people just come to me to express their love and appreciation to me out of nowhere. I’m not doing anything. Just being. Reality works is such mysterious way. It is very hard to grasp intellectually.

At the end you are going to die. Even if you leave a family behind, they will die too. Eventually humankind will die out or phase out before the end. Probably AI will take a lot of things over or radically change society in couple of hundred of years that it will be unrecognizable. Even if you acquired your life purpose, wealth and health, you perhaps an empire of some sort, it will all be taken away. This counts also for your spiritual riches which is used as porn by most anyway. At the end we are all meat bags trying to figure out the unfigurable reaching another peak experience to find out there is another peak until eternity. Most things are just figments of your own imagination including your pesky spiritual insights. Yes I’m having a dark night of the soul.

According to Leo’s solipsism reincarnation and such doesn’t exist. It is a dream within a dream.

And to use your analogy… there are people who say watching a video from a nightclub is better than being there ? The best thing about real life experience is that you get to use your 5 senses and emerge. Porn is not natural and you have to be very dumb to not understand this. You wire your brain for the wrong things.

Have you found any practical application?

His brother got on that podcast too

I sat 2 meters from him during the whole seminar and at the end I got to talk to him. Being there is very different than watching some videos. The energy of the crowd just sweeps you away. Amazing opportunity to network. 15-20% of the crowd were female. And we got to some exercises. The only thing that bothered me is that Julien seems to have watered down his content even more and now I know why: he says his content has been going viral lately so obviously his new strategy is working for him. He also seems to help people but it is very surface level and I don't know how much it is going to help people. His approach nowadays is to act like a clown and put up a song and dance in front of the crowd being the synthesis of ghuru/clown/goof. Most people who came on the stage were females. He only invited females and these females were only out there to get approval and permission to be themselves. This was the major lesson for me though. Most people go to these seminars to get permission from a 3rd party to do what they want to do, or be what they want to be. I also got to contemplate authenticity and my judgement of others. For me it provided a lot of introspection.

As far as I understand it. Solipsism recognizes everything is made of dream stuff, and no-self theory recognizes that self (smaller self) is made of dream stuff. What remains is you. I don't get why you guys are making such a hissy fit. No self theory and solipsism are pointing at the same thing but from a different angle. Self versus other respectively. No self pertaining to no-self theory Solipsism pertaining to no other I still have to work this shit out to get the answer through direct experience. I'm planning to do some LSD or molly.

If it is in your nature you should do it. Try it out and see it for yourself. Not everybody's nature is the same so nobody can tell unless you tried it out. I think Elon Musk is a freak of nature and he is in his element, if he would give his shit up and make a podcast and socialize and stuff that would take his fire away. Elon Musk is a great model for SD orange which is an essential for the progressive stages. No value in being a SD green hippy who provides no value and talks smack all the time.

@Breakingthewall so everything is an infinite experiences but we cap it with our direct exp so we can remain sane.

So no self just means not ego. There is still a Self. It rather have been called no ego which is less confusing.

Everybody has a certain nature. If you see a loin tearing up a gazelle, you wouldn’t sit there judging the nature of the animal. You just happen to be an internet philosopher with no obligations and you have certain privileges. If you were a politician or CEO of a big company like Tesla for example you would have a much difficult task. Your spirituality would fly out the door. Heck, you have a hard time managing this tiny forum without going ape shit from time to time.

I can’t believe how some people call themselves spiritual and still have such judgementalism.
