If the other person doesn't believe in pink elephants, how can he see it? We only see that which we believe, and we only believe that which we know how to interpret.

@Scholar You live up to your name. You explained it like a true Scholar. A temporary realization fades away because we have not yet embodied the Real. Once the Realization becomes the Real, there is no longer a master or explorer but only Reality.

They call it day trader because you will be trading your days for useless pieces of paper aka money.

This message was written 7 hours ago. What does that mean? There is something significant about the number 7, but I can't pinpoint it yet. -
I went through a phase where I believed in monogamy, but after 6 failed relationships I decided that it is not for me. In the past few years, I have taken a more laid-back approach to dating and meeting/dating people without any labels. I see each girl that I meet as an opportunity for my growth, but I also try to give back value to the girl so that she is better off for meeting me. Try to be honest with them and don't play games with them. I think guilt arises if you feel that you are using them, or if you feel that you are being dishonest with your intentions. If you are dating multiple girls at once, feel free to tell them that. Some girls don't mind it, some girls get jealous. It becomes an addiction only if deep down you feel hollow and you think that girls can somehow add value that you don't already have. You have to be addicted to your passion, but your main passion should not be girls. Maybe all this is just a phase.. I think we will find out in a few years.

This strategy works for conservative girls who prefer to get to know the guy before doing anything. However, if you invite a more "liberal" girl to your place and you don't give her what she wants, you won't see her again. If you are implementing strategies, it's best to adapt your strategy to the girl. But, the best strategy is not to have a strategy.

If you ceased to have thoughts, will you have truth or falsehood? A 'true' thought is the thought that calls itself true. A 'false' thought is the thought that calls itself false. If thought is the arbiter of what is true and false, how can you trust your thoughts?

Bentinho is virtue signaling his status. If you also had a suit and cigar, girls will also look at you like that. My view on relationships is much similar to that of Bentinho. @Leo Gura Why do you feel the need to project your love into a single woman, when you know that Infinite Love is always greater than the finite one?

A good scientist is the one who investigates his own nature before investigating nature. A good scientist first studies himself before studying nature for the scientist too is also part of nature. A good scientist questions everything, including his own questions, axioms, and assumptions. A good scientist is driven by a deep curiosity to know, to solve problems, to understand. A good scientist is not motivated by awards, prestige, and social acceptance. A good scientist attempts to share his discoveries with other scientists even at the cost of his own life.

To keep you on your toes. Not a bad answer from Obama. -

We are all diverse. Diversity can't be enforced because it already is the case. The media is trying to force equality. They want to have equal representation in positions of power regardless of gender, color, etc. The white man has been oppressing society for way too long. It is now time for others to oppress society as well. -

Yes. It encourages spending because people don't want to hold to something(money) that loses value. If money loses value over time, people will speculate and buy assets that will tend to preserve their value. Bitcoin can be such an asset. You are correct that the concept of value is subjective. Some people have faith in the politicians/central bankers and value their fiat money. Others don't have much faith in politicians and believe in a cryptographically created digital scarcaty. I guess I fall in the second camp. -

Narrow relates to the life choices that you make to get to the gate. It doesn't quantify the size of the path as you have interpreted it. In a sense all religions are true, but the truth is not what you think it is. -

Maybe they are not really deceptive. Maybe you call these people deceptive because you can see through their deceptions. Maybe you look up to Leo because you can't yet see through his deceptions. Maybe, maybe not. Who knows. -

I live in the Netherlands also. You can send any substances (legal or illegal) to DIMS and they will send you an analysis of the chemical composition of your substance. You can find more information about DIMS here: https://www.drugs-test.nl/hoe-werkt-het-testen- Here is a map of their test centers: https://www.drugs-test.nl/waar-testen- 5-meo-DMT is currently legal in the Netherlands. -
Maybe your limiting belief is the fact that you think you don't know what limiting beliefs are. Maybe not knowing is just a belief. When you limit yourself not to know, how could you know?

@Heart of Space How convenient that the biggest debtor nation(USA) in the history of the world wants to change the definition of money. When money is not a store of value, it encourages speculation into alternative assets such as stocks, bonds, gold, Bitcoin. But what are all these assets priced in? They are all priced in some dollar amount. If your dollars are not a store of value, then how do you know how much your assets are worth? How do you know the true value of these assets if the value is not stored but inflated? The economy must find a stable ground onto which all other assets are priced. If the value of money is not stable, the value of all assets is also not stable. The people who buy Bitcoin believe in this scarce digital assets as a reliable store of value. We will see if this will be the case in a few years. -

Agreed. Those who don't believe it comes from within have to search for their healing outside themselves until they find their inner own source of healing. -

What would limit the imagination to imagine a shapeless color? If you can't do it, there must be a strong link between shapes and colors. What is that link? -

What is an absurd level of inflation? The governments are targeting an average 2% inflation which in my mind is already absurd. One characteristic of money is to serve as a store of value. If money is devalued on purpose, people may seek alternative forms of money. -
The US elections in my mind are a collective battle between the human Ego(Trump) and the Human Spirit(Biden). The Ego aims to divide the United States while the Spirit tries to Unite. The Ego can't admit defeat and will try any possible way to stay in power. The Spirit accepts Reality as it is, good or bad. The Ego corrupts all those around them by threatening their livelihood, while the Spirit uplifts all those around by seeking their cooperation. The US election is God's Way of deciding if the US is ready for the next step of the collective evolution of society. Thoughts?
