Could read Internal family systems Therapy, guildford therapy 2nd edition, by Schwartz. There is a section in there regarding the mind and it relation to medical ailments

@MsNobody If you're looking for psychedelic like states via breathing, then holotropic breathing might work out for you. However, I don't think it will be of the same depth.

Here's what you do: Raise your arm up in front of you Open your hand, so your palm is facing them Shake your hand side-to-side like a windscreen wiper And say, 'Adios ex-amigos'

Ye if I came across actualized.org, w/o knowing about enlightenment, and watched Leo's live awakening video where he keeps smiling and saying how he's realized he's god, I'd deffo think he's a narcissist ?.

Teal swan Business meetings be like: https://youtu.be/xBWmkwaTQ0k?t=85

Lmao ye she's absolutely full of it. I used to watch her vids a lot too. Literally just watch this scene from the timestamp: https://youtu.be/N486N0EJfd0?t=496 Teal's main defence seems to be that it was all a matter of a lack of context. The behaviour elicited in that scene by her is inappropriate and unhealthy no matter the context, from someone in her position.

@zurew Gotcha

What are the basic claims made in the doc?

Is this not a new age spiritual community built around a charismatic leader?

Go do some IFS and understand what's really going on with these sorts of communications

Inevitably, you'll have to come to your own conclusion regarding some major aspects of reality, i.e. free will v determinism. Are people simply a product of society? Is Mozart a genius, who paved his own way, or was he just a talented person given certain opportunities which were recognised mostly because of the context in which he produced his art?

Hey guys, and particularly Leo, At the moment, my attention is not on pick up. However, I'm considering restarting my pickup journey in the next 1-2 years, when around 24/ 25. I'd want to move to a big city and commit to investing a considerable amount of time on it. However, I'm worried about my ability to commit to my life purpose. At that age, is it wise to make pickup the priority in my life. Is it worth getting a very social job instead of a specifically life purpose job for the period i commit to pick up? Can one reasonably balance the two? I'd like to hear people's personal experiences regarding this. Thanks in advance.

I can't imagine I would stay but you never know I guess.

@RendHeaven Not too sure as yet. Still in the follow your bliss part of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6rSXTSUbGc Here are theories by some prominent psychodynamic-inclined therapists.

Agreed. Similar experiences myself. I think something like IFS as a spiritual type practice would be a better alternative before jumping into full-fledged enlightenment, especially when young.

Coffee table is love, coffee table is life

*Best joke ever

Because Leo is the coffee table

Dr Ramani is a boss! I'd personally look into IFS and DBT for BPD. Also, I get the symptoms of BPD can often make seeing a therapist a very difficult thing. I think seeing a BPD specialist would be a must. From what I've heard, some otherwise useful therapies, can actually be detrimental when it comes to BPD.

?? A large chunk of philosophy taught and researched about is a product of the european enlightenment or post-enlightenment thinking. The machine does require philosophers. Even on a critical view, philosophers would be vital, in providing an ideological legitimisation of the organisation of society.

By tradition, I don't mean ethics, metaphysics etc. its like in the continental tradition you're likely to have more poststructuralism, critical theory, where as in the analytical philosophy departments you'll not really study things like that.

Derrida's an example of someone who enjoyed life too

Have you considered sociology? Especially if you're a determinist. Also, what perhaps think about what tradition of philosophy you'd like to engage with? I.e. Analytic, continental, pragmatist

I actually see a lot of what people claim is stage green as stage blue. Its full of moralism, where Stage green is supposed to be love of all things, at least to my understanding. So, I'd say its stage blue v blue/ orange here. I don't see radical feminism as being stage green but instead as stage blue phenomena. Its v similar to how spirituality gets co-opted by religion, at least the stage green aspects of spirituality.
