@josue Keep putting yourself out there and seeing where you might be going wrong. Study female psychology, there’s lot of teachers online who you can find with a quick search. And keep up any spiritual work you might be doing.

I heard that as well. So he’s not perfect, big shocker. I don’t see that as a reason to throw away everything he said. Osho got in way worse shit than that and we still learn from him. Yup just looking at the sun. Maybe you could speed it up, but the gradual increase is so that you don’t hurt yourself. So I would adhere by it.

@non_nothing @luckieluuke Thanks! I doubt the sun is any stronger than what we got here in Miami. I'm not going to say something damaging couldn't happen and that you shouldn't take precautions. I was hesitant at first and went very slowly. I think what tipped the balance for me in terms of feeling safe was that I've just seen too much information in the mainstream health field. The same eye doctors that would probably tell you that the sun would damage your ears are the same ones that would prescribe prescription glasses / contacts, which ultimately weaken the eye and can cause things like myopia. I suggest checking out the work of my friend Dr. Jacob Liberman if you want to understand what I'm talking about. So I basically just said fuck it. Mainstream medical advice is a reflection of the unconsciousness of our society. So I'm going to try something outside the box. Awesome. Can you say specifically what you experienced?

@Leo Gura @Sahil Pandit Thanks guys. Why wait?

@Gabriel Antonio I agree, caution is good. One thing I forget to mention is regular checkups with an optometrist may be a good idea for anyone doing this.

@Shin I know there’s tantra techniques that allow you to move the energy and like transcend into the 5th dimension of enlightenment. But I haven’t figured that one out yet. Your issue could be as simple as that you’re just not having enough sex. If you were getting laid everyday, my guess is you would not have this problem.

You're definitely not a narcissist. I think an even better question presented itself here. Which is why are you terrified to be a narcissist? Who told you it's not okay to be selfish?

@Strikr Put your theory to the test. Just give away all your music, never sell anything and see what happens.

Triggers are there to make us alert to what has not been healed in ourselves. Which means your bully hit some deep unconscious fear or insecurity about yourself. What was it? Accept what you did, don't resist it. Everyone has triggers and it's not your fault. Many of them come from early childhood experiences.

@Dodo Be careful with David Icke. I'm not saying he doesn't have some points, but he also spews a lot of conspiracy nonsense.

@Parki There are lots of people who claim benefits. My belief is that intention is more important than the drug itself.

@Bernardo Carleial Didn’t watch the fight but I heard about what happened. I think it actually provides some really valuable lessons. One of the reasons Khabid said he got pissed was that Connor said a bunch of insulting things about his religion, family, etc. So he completely feels in the right, because he was standing up for his values. And I see a lot of people online who agree with that. The problem is though that Connor was trying to get under Khabid’s skin. He doesn’t care what religion Khabid is, he just wants to provocate him. So in a way, by Khabid losing his cool he actually did exactly what Connor was hoping for. The smart thing for Khabid would have been to just beat Connor, smile, and let the results speak for themselves. Then Connor would just look like some loud mouth idiot who couldn’t back it up. Instead, Khabid could possibily be stripped of his title. And Connor comes out of this looking much prettier because Khabid looks like the asshole that lost his cool. It’s really a shitty situation but I hope Khabid takes the lesson and chooses to grow from it, rather than just getting more bitter and angry. We’ll have to see.

@F A B It’s all about expectations. It may strengthen the attraction she has for you, but attraction is not the only factor in a successful relationship. Most girls are going to consider what you did a form of cheating. So if you’ve set an expectation that you’re going to just be committed to her, she is not going to be happy. Conversely, if you set an expectation in the beginning that this is an open relationship where this kind of thing is acceptable, now you’re fine. Figure out what you actually want and then just do it.

That is a red flag right there. In a true friendship, you’re not worried about “fucking it up”. Think about your male friends growing up, did you care this much about whether it worked out or not? My guess is no. So you’re probably still somewhat unsconsciously attached to her. Which is going to make things kind of weird between you two.

I’m talking more about the stereotypical guy who is stuck in the friend zone against his will. She cries about her guy problems and he pretends to care. That doesn’t sound like what happened in your situation. I should clarify because I don’t want to make you paranoid. It’s perfectly find if your female friends use you for emotional support. You are friends who care about each other. But the big difference is that you’re not being a part of her support system just to just hook up with her. And you have boundaries around your time and what you will or will not do, simply out of self-love. Nice catch. It doesn’t make sense but that’s the unconscious conditioning we all get around sex / relationships. The ego feels like if they go after someone else, then we won’t get the love and acceptance we need. It’s a belief in the scarcity of love, and it’s false.

I think you're right, it is a return to a more natural way of viewing sexuality. But it's also extremely pragmatic for a guy who is looking to improve in that area. When you do this right, your female friends will be throwing their friends at you. Because they know you're a guy who won't make it "weird". Weird = making things too big a deal.

I would disagree with all of these. You're thinking that the way you make female friends is by disowning your masculinity and sexuality. When in reality, it's the other way around. Every good female friend I have I flirt with ruthlessly. I'll make lots of sexual jokes and talk about sex very freely. We may have seen each other naked at some point or felt each other up or something like that. The only difference is that I actively disqualify a girl who I just want to be friends with. So I'll say things like "I'm so glad to have you as my friend" so she doesn't get confused about the nature of the relationship. And I won't try to hook up with them. I think this is the only way to make female friends. If you're friends with a girl but she doesn't feel attraction and see you as a sexual person, then you're just some guy she probably uses for emotional support but doesn't really respect and isn't fun. So you've got to bring that more "alpha" side out. Of course, you guys may end up hooking up at some point. But you should be in such abundance and have a non judgemental attitude about sex so that it's not a big deal. It should just be another thing you did with no extra importance. So yeah making female friends is amazing. I think it's a must for any guy who wants to have a great sex / social life. This one actually can happen. But that's not your fault, that's his insecurities. And all that will do in the girl's mind is cement you as the cooler guy, because he's butthurt and you're not. Then she probably will actually try to fuck you.

Is it actually better, or is it just easier?

Gut reaction usually the truth when it comes to this kind of stuff. You’ll probably find a lot of meaning in connecting with others, connecting others, or some combo of the two.

@Baotrader Look at the emoion and energy behind what you’re saying. You refuse to love them for whatever errors you’ve percieved that they’ve made. The people who hate Leo refuse to love him for the percieved errors that he has made. It’s all the same, it’s all lack of love. Only yours feels justified because of some reasons you’ve come up with. But those people also have reasons for doing what they’re doing. Right or wrong, it doesn’t really matter. Do you want to spread love or hate? And look, no one can make you love anybody. If your heart is closed to that I can’t make you be open. And I wouldn’t even if I could because it doesn’t work like that. Love has to be genuine. Can you get to a place where you genuinely love them for who they are? Not who you wish they were.

@Elisabeth In the face of infinity, there is no career path that is inherently meaningful. But you can find a path that is meaningful for you. What's meaningful for me is raising the collective vibration. There's so much negativity, so much fighting, so much unnecessary drama that we create. But it doesn't have to stay that way, and so the idea of contributing to that really gets me excited. I also think whatever darkness somebody has been through is where they are going to find the most meaning in contributing. For instance, a victim of child abuse might later become very passionate about helping alleviate child abuse. It's very common. So you might want to ask yourself that. What was your greatest pain growing up? What hurt the most?

@kieranperez This is a good question to ask and re-ask continually. Because things will change, and so you want to keep aligning with those core values. I want to spread good energy. The things you do and the words you say matter to some degree, but honestly your energy is most important. So that means things like getting people to laugh, getting people to let go of their self-concern, to have gratitude just for being alive, etc etc. And that doesn't even take a career. You can do that right now. Right now you could text a friend a funny meme, or joke around with the person in line at the grocery store, or whatever. So it's not like this thing where you have to be Ghandi saving the world. It's just recognizing that every moment is an opportunity.

@Hellspeed I actually have found some occult teachings that talk about this. Drunvalo Melchizedek also talks about it in The Flower of Life. Basically, this being named Thoth supposedly achieved physical immortality. I think a much better question is why do you want physical immortality? The ego loves to try to cling to permanence out of fear. But death is it what creates the space for the new to come in. Remember, your spiritual essence is already immortal. Wouldn't it get boring living in the same body for eternity? Eternity is a long time dude. Is that really what you want?

Because if you don't, you're doing the exact same thing you're complaining about. You're just like them, only the way you express your negativity and ungratefulness is different.

Paranormal isn't just my belief, it's my experience. As long as you aren't open to it being real, you'll never find the evidence for it because you're closed off. It doesn't. We have some understanding of neuroscience, but mainstream science basically understands nothing about the nature of consciousness. Read books like Biocentrisim, The Holographic Universe and My Big TOE.
