@SerpaeTetra very good point. we impose so many limitations on ourselves. first this list of things i dont care about, so I can what I care about.But... do we REALLY have to do all the prequisites?

@Leo Gura can i resort to devilry and intuitively adjust my course over time?

@Parththakkar12 careful who you condemn. you know what they say about homophobics

@Leo Gura around the right guy, women are certainly more horny

@Aaron p thats some serious Dunning Kruger right there m8

@Ya know I'll give my personal XP. Ever since I went I "awakened" I stopped liking this sort of stuff also. RSD, success driven, self help, etc... But once my experience stabilized and I came a little back to reality I realized that some lower things that I can't just drop unless they are fulfilled (Maslow) would not stop bothering me. I could meditate all day but those lingering issues would always eat at me. This is why I am going stronger than ever at Orange (even if I know some of these people are not Eckhart Tolle, I know there are things they can teach me). Lastly, pick whoever you want. But if you have a pussifier attitude towards life (be honest with yourself), you need a system and mentors that will hold you accountable and thus preventing you from resorting back to bitch tendencies.

@VerballyHazardous LMAO. This actually sounds like a LeO quote

@ravlondon lmao what did he say?

Some models of enlightenment such as Buddhism train you how not to be affected by your emotions, karma, sensations, etc..., in a very thorough way. However, is there drawbacks to doing this? Other models, such as trauma work, emotional release, etc..., emphasize release of these emotions. These two methods seem to be antagonistic in my view and perhaps from a Buddhist perspective emotional release may even be a waste of time and effort. I'm just trying to reconcile how the two fit next to each other since historically they don't seem to go together at all, yet in modern times we seem mention them as if they go together in this path.

@Leo Gura in case you ever leave. thanks for everything! edit: update to thread That holotropic breathing stuff works. I started crying (also intense dreams). Real crying and my facial muscles contorted in ways that my stoic face could previously not accomplish even if I teared up my facial muscles were quite still in the past. Am going to keep at it and also do some of Jack Willis' Neo-Reichian stuff for emotional release. He gives away the book for free actually and is more gentle and thorough than other approaches: https://reichiantherapy.info/book in pdf/Reich home Book.pdf

The Power of Now

@fridjonk seth is FANTASTIC! I meant the forum in general. There's strong prejudice against orange but we'd be nonfunctional if we did not integrate all the stages synergistic ally.

@fridjonk there seems to be plenty of prejudice against stage orange here... if we are making is a binary hierarchy and seeing each preceeding stage as purely inferior then we why you learn from Seth, when you can learn from stage Tortoise guys? The people judging him have not seen 10 commandments. No doubt if you have lingering orange aspects to deal with he would be a great mentor since he's not gonna bullshit and you won't get away with your fear driven spiritual escapism. Lastly, if you already have had glimpses or hold traits of higher stages, then just frame his advice under your green or higher paradigms and the glove still can fit!

@Verdesbird thank you!

I'm going to

@Alexop simpin' hard then eh? if she behaves like that you do not put up with it. hit her with the: "don't be rude, send nudes."

Go where people smarter than you reside. You won't feel very smart for too long. Possibly even incompetent.

@Jj13 thx just bought a couple from this list

truer words have never been spoken

Have you considered subconscious aversions towards life it self? A hedonist may indulge to much in life. But a cynic that rejects everything because "I'm spiritual" is the other side of the coin.
