@Leo Gura The idea behind dependent arising is to awaken from all dreams. Anything within mind is included. Awakening from the "some guy called Leo" is merely a speck within the chain of possibility to become entangled In. I still don't see how the Buddhist dependent arising stuff does not apply regardless of whether you're an alien, Leo, or a door knob. It's a universal principle.

I agree with Leo. I would dump him and get with me instead.

@kray I feel like I would like NYC. The anonymity. Just another speck amongst millions of others. With that said, I can imagine there's 1000s of different groups, clubs, activities to join. You can bounce in and out until you find a few tribes. If I lived in NYC I'd join a Chess club. If I lived in NYC I'd find some guys to do pickup with. I could go on and on...

sounds like co-depenedent arising / dependent origination.

LMAO this guy stole the Stranger things plot

Dude I know a guy that is obsessed with Andrew Tate and even emulates him by going on loud monologues... He does all this unironically. Not realizing that it's largely a show on the fucking internet and not how you're supposed to conduct yourself in real life.

There's enough of those creepy pickup guys in Toronto Just playing... Would love to if I lived there. Though I would prefer Montreal

@Arthogaan I don't think so... I don't think so...

Yes... Sometimes I do. The thing is that the desire to end your life is the same as the desire for enlightenment. Ultimately, you want to let go of all the suffering you're carrying. The cool thing is you don't have to end your life. You can drop the suffering, the negative thoughts, the heavy emotions this very minute... Like dropping groceries on the ground because they're too heavy

Knowledge will stay with after discontinuing use. Consult with a doctor for usage. Amphetamines are serious stuff.

In my short 27 years on this planet, I've had tremendous opportunities... I was obsessed with pickup for some time and I literally got to work alongside some of the top pickup artist in the world. They saw something on me and took a chance. There were several reasons why I left. Some were the pickup guys fault but I also just felt like I wasn't holding up my weight. Next to these guys, I felt like an imposter. So I felt guilty even being around them. Before this, I was in college for industrial engineering. I failed almost every class one semester (the semester I transferred from community college to a university) and I felt so bad I moved back home with my parents. I felt bad because my mom was working long hours at a factory to help pay for my education (I also took on loans but felt terrible about having her work in a factory, meanwhile I am pissing away the opportunity). In the end, abandoning the 3.5 years of effort I put into my engineering education. Now, I am in a similar situation working with very high level people in the solar industry. I've had flashes of excellence over the last month but I have nothing to show for it. The same familiar feeling of unworthiness prevails my mind. Although, here it's worse because you need a certain amount of belief and confidence to do well in sales. Something, I conjure the will to go out and make things happen. But most of the time, I'm dropping the ball. I feel like leaving once again. One of the guys on the team decided to take me under his wing and help me out. Now I feel like an asshole again since I don't feel like I am putting my best foot forward. The urge to abandon this endeavor is blossoming once again. Emotionally, I kind of feel like moving back with my parents and locking myself in my room for weeks at a time. There's a weird sense of comfort in laying in bed most of the day feeling sorry for myself -- every few days conjuring the will and the vision to strive for excellence. And then relapse. I joined this sales team because I felt that the accountability aspect would help. In some ways it has but I have not made any money and I am fucking stressed. I guess I am trying to find a solution. Whether pragmatic or psychological. I'm not sure what the answer is exactly.

yo mama

get into sales bro. high ticket stuff -- solar, roofing, software... and so on. easy $100k in a year if you work your ass off (if not way more)

why so condescending... unnecessary

Interesting, Dr Ramani has made a whole ass career of doing that on YouTube. Pretty much every video revolves around shitting on narcissist with absolutely no leeway. Personally, I think such a one-sided approach has it's drawbacks. You shouldn't reduce a person to a psychological construct and vilify every one of them. Vakim is dope. Found him a couple months ago.

you can change 100%, don't short change yourself

@integral you're putting her on a pedestal. So if a raging narcissist like Trump says something with absolute conviction you just praise them for autheNticiTy ??? In his mind, that's his truth... He's better than everyone else... The guise of spirituality does not change the underlying dynamic.

Integrate your shadow.

I just ask myself: Is this guy about that life or he is full of shit?

@mr_engineer One thing is for sure... the documentary team cannot be trusted. Still, regardless the clip with Simon and Teal and episode one (the real one Teal just released) still makes both of them seem like assholes. Teal still basically says "I am all knowing because I am God; therefore I don't need outside feedback." -- I understand at the ultimate level this is true but seems like a dysfunctional way to utilize these spiritual truths and bypass your own issues Secondly, it seems like Simon is there with an agenda. The framing of his questions is kinda confrontational as well. To me it seems like he's playing ego games and is trying to bait Teal. It's complicated... I would say. No one is all good or all bad.

@Matthew85 what's the difference?

To be fair, Leo says and still holds strong attachments to the physical world. i.e. women.

fuckin awesome bro. I'm trying to save a million or two and then do the same as you
