How do you know what you want? You might think you want something, but actually want something else. You may think you want money, but you want security. You may think you want a girlfriend, but you want love. First, figure out what you TRULY want. You can never manipulate someone who is more conscious than you because they can smell your BS. You can only manipulate those who are less conscious. "Manipulate" them so that they can realize the things you have realized.

Get out of your head. Be genuine and don't think too much about what other people think. If you are comfortable in your own skin, other people would be able to be comfortable with you also. Try behavior that comes naturally to you.

Learn to be happy by yourself. If you are happy by being yourself, you won't need others. Neediness is not attractive. The more you feel you NEED someone, the more that someone would feel your neediness and be repulsed by it.

If you are in a lot of debt, inflation is great for you. If you have a lot of savings, inflation is bad for you. There is no good or bad, it is just a matter of perspective.

It is a bribe to get votes.

Forgive. Then Forget.

Before you know others, you have to know yourself. Understand yourself before you understand others.

The body will die. However, you are NOT the body. The body is just a vessel you use to surf through life.

Just keep asking yourself how and why questions.

You are the One who makes everything, not just this post.

Who is I? Is it the same I that controls the beating of your heart?

Amen!

@Leo Gura You good?

Spiritual bypassing: Using Spirituality to avoid personal development Attachment to the Method: Getting attached to a Spiritual Method (meditation, Yoga, Breathing, psychedelics) shall be transcended at some point. Victim mentality: Blaming external sources for personal shortcomings.

Only if you can manifest it.

When you get stuck in a rut, do something new to get yourself unstuck. Don't think. Go outside and look at how amazing everything is. Just look without thinking.

Any good book recommendations on leadership?

Yea.. But that which is lost can always be replaced by full metal with some alchemy.

This usually means Chris Hansen wants to have a chat with you.

Talk with everyone about the most mundane shit. If you can sense the person has transcendent the mundane, talk about some higher order shit. You can only connect with others through sharing.

Some background... Last month I was at a spiritual retreat where I met a girl that was strongly drawn to. On the last day of the retreat, I was able to get into a non-dual state naturally. The non-dual state started when I was near this girl. She told me afterward that she felt like I was taking away her energy and that is why she couldn't get into that state herself. Is this something that is possible? Can I take energy from others? My intent wasn't to take, especially not from her.

@JonasVE12 Great insights. Thanks for sharing.
