it increases 'g-factor' yes I mean just imagine that your attention is simultaneously diverted in 100 different directions, getting pulled around... it's a bloody miracle that in a chronic state of flight or flight, we even manage life. that's what life is like when I don't meditate.

how does it feel pass by a nice church and know it was built for you?

@thisintegrated Yes curiosity is an indicator of high IQ, according to psychologists.. Additionally, big 5 personality trait openness (receptivity to new ideas and new experiences) correlates with intelligence.

I kinda feel the same tbh.. Kinda focused on stacking a lot of cash for the next couple years and then focus on friends when I achieve financial freedom. Right now, I'd feel like a fucking loser if I invested any significant portion of my time towards socialization and leisure. Feel kinda behind.

I would say sincere unwavering interest. You always come back to wondering, questioning, and so on... The cumulative effect of that cannot be understated.

flatline bby. enjoy it... because when your libido comes back, you'll be harder than Carnegie steel

I love abortions

power hungry, sociopath, liar.

it becomes self-evident as your spiritual journey unfolds. increasingly so...

To take on the human and operate within its domain assumes a certain level of ignorance and craving.

ehh I feel your sentiments towards sexuality are too black and white. there's also elements of toxic masculinity. I'm surprised you haven't explored this facet of your humanity very much. not necessarily in the sense of experimenting with same sex but simply your views on this are very binary. "Bro you don't like pussy? GAYYYY!!!!"

@puporing seems I still have some work to do before I can see that clearly

Granted I have been struggling with depression for a while... It does feel like my awakening, has continued to get deeper at the same time. I want to live a beautiful life but the weight of responsibilities, student loans for a college degree I don't use, as well as a lot more debt. Honestly, I feel pretty overwhelmed by all of this. I am currently doing a coding bootcamp so I can go into web development in 6 months or so. I wouldn't say it's my life purpose but it's pretty engaging for my personality. I enjoy it a lot. I get pretty engrossed in it for days at a time, especially if it's a new project. I have a sales job but struggle because of social anxiety but the potential is massive... But my avoidance tendencies cause me to waste a lot of time and essentially produce ZERO $$$. When I'm ON, I do well, but that's a big IF. I guess I'm just venting but yeah it's also hard to stay motivated when you see how arbitrary and empty everything is, yet I literally can't stop even if it's a dream because there's certain rules within the game.

Yes, I think I'm just a bit overwhelmed at it all temporarily. Really there is no other choice. Lot's of truth here. Gonna have to put my ego aside for a bit I think and get some low level jobs temporarily.

Validating and cherishing my existence... through a simple but heartfelt hug. when you're all alone in the world FOR YEARS, a simple hug is therapeutic

Yeah he’s legit. Bottom line, like Leo said, the best teacher will be through experience.

@Carl-Richard for me it's like I lose my sexual appetite after not fapping for a while. The hangover depends more strongly on the intensity of the orgasm, which are normally weaker if my craving is weakened.

@Ninja_pig kinda sorta not really. consider that the stage that is all about material success is stage orange which is basically "me focused". It's about your own personal success. It can be win-lose, win-win, depending on the set-up of your strategy / approach but bottom line is "me" wins. But what about green where the point is altruism, or even turquoise where it's about awakening, unlikely you'll get rich when your focus isn't that. Unless you're Eckhart Tolle and even then Im sure he was surrounded by a lot of business savvy types that contributed to his success with Power of Now.

Fundamentally because the desire and the drive to bring it to fruition won't be there. Do you realize the level of mental craziness it would take to be Elon or Bezos?? Otherwise, I would say that it is materialistic lust justifying itself through awakening.

TheOdinProject is AWESOME! It's a free coding bootcamp site that gives a really good foundation and conceptual understanding + includes a lot of coding projects along the way with what you're learning. You can pick two paths Javascript or Ruby on Rails. I'm going for Javascript since it seems to be much more relevant and in higher demand nowadays.

Women date up... or choose partners that they perceive to be of the same or greater value than them. Men don't emphasize value very much, and prioritize a woman's beauty over every other intrinsic quality.

winner!
