@Jowblob You are manic bro... You don't wanna work for 60 hours.... that's fine. No one wants to, especially if it's a dead end job. But your cope is "you are god and can perform miracles." to circumvent the need to earn a living? How about you take responsibility and build a fulfilling career? I'll check out the video. @Danioover9000 What evidence do you have for this grandiose assertion?

But is it though? Because when I become lucid in a dream at night when I sleep, I can indeed alter the physical makeup of the dream realm itself (e.g. start to fly, teleport and create things instantly). Opposed to that is awakening within the waking state... you can't alter the make up of reality. If you could, you would. And if you don't do it, it's because it's not actually you who is capable of doing it, but the transcendent infinite intelligence of which your life is one particular manifestation. So I am not saying it's not possible to transcend this reality, but that it's meaningless to say that it's you who has transcended. No. The "You" is what is transcended. At that point you are dead. So as long as you care about living as a finite human, it is meaningless and frankly false from an experiential point of view to say that it is "you" who is creating this reality. If you can't change it, it's not you. You are in fact part of the creation. I am very open to concepts like reality transurfing, LOA, neville's law of assumption etc. Those are congruent with a consensus reality. Even here there is the discussion whether other people exist or not. And if they don't, you can manipulate reality to your own fantasy. Others are merely little servants to your desires, whims and preferences. Sounds fun huh? But you are truly alone. Sacrifice that power fantasy and there is room for others with free will to exist. You are all part of infinity and one. BUT, youa re distinct and can't alter the other fundamentally nor do you want to. You enjoy the company of others. Solipsism is the last trick of the devil. In the book "law of one" if you want to ascend into higher states consciousness permanently, you gotta choose between service to self and service to others. Both are valid. Only one has you walking the path of love. If you chose service to self, you can. God is infinite, But you will be living your own fantasy of domination and manipulation. So manifesting your dream partner through teachings that claim you are the only being in existence would have you manipulate the woman though your conscious intention. For that to work you have to deny her existence. How do you bond with someone that doesn't exist? I think it is problematic to deny others, to claim you create everything, you are infinite. Why? Because it's not the actual real thing - the infinite consciousness that is claiming it - it's the ego. "We all believe in a higher power But you rely on the force of music And the firm belief that we are always connected Never doubt, but always trust your faith And don't be mislead by ego 'Cause that's the devil with a God complex Here's the situation: You're being lied to There is confusion but the truth is inside you So take a moment to lock on your vision Your heartbeat will guide you The sound is religion The blood of creation will seep through the cracks The past and the future predict what is next So plant your transition and reap the effects Destroying the devil with a God complex" Can't resist to post some good hardstyle that affirms the goodness babaaay hit me with the kicks. If you wan't to be a fucking god, embrace your red and orange mf but don't fool yourself:

@Leo Gura Unless you can alter physical reality, these statements are meaningless. If I am creating something, I can alter it again. If not, it's not "me" who is creating it.

Good call. That's exactly what I am doing

Yes.

Generally I read many at the same time. I have like 10 books open and go by intuition which one to continue reading or listening to. I pair this with choosing one particular book in each field to focus on most. There is delegate balance to be striken as dispersing your efforts too much can lead to shallow understanding and a lack of focus whereas focusing on one book at the same time can lead to the same thing. I often find that if I stop reading a book, focus on others and come back, that the knowledge gained in others helps me better understand the next sections. I also find that it more often synchronistically applies to my current situation, if I am in tune with this intuitive capacity to know what to focus on at any given moment. If it's content that requires a lot of focus and processing, I take my time in order to integrate what to read, inching forward day by day. If it's more easily digestible I am inclined to go and finish it fast to have that task closed so to say (nothing worse than having too many tabs in a browser open lol). Hope this helps.

But 90 percent of them don't resonate. So that cuts down the selection.

That's scandalous. @Oppositionless I have about 140 spread over paper, kindle and audible.

I absolutely agree. I really hope you let go of the constant disclaimers and simple minded objections. We want depth and complexity instead of hypothetical back and forth between you and those 2 percent of viewers who are too dim to get your points otherwise.

I am like 98 percent vegan. I have sharp focus, incredible energy, glowing skin, silky smooth hair, bright shining teeth and flexible, strong and balanced muscles. Simnett nutrition. Rainbow plant life. Pick up limes.

Peterson serves the blue niche very well, bridging the gap from blue to orange which is morally much further developed, rejecting any literal, dogmatic and illogical interpretation of the scriptures and grounding the interpretation of the religious source material in a utilitarian, principled mode of thought (reduce harm, aim for the highest good, reject everything else). He stressed that you cannot claim to believe in God if your behaviour doesn't reflect that belief. Muslims who slaughter each other and other faiths over their literal interpretations of the Quran, need to have someone like Peterson to help them out of that paradigm lock. Leo also said in his self reflections that sometimes some of the lower consciousness emotions like anger, shame and guilt are needed to reach people stuck at lower levels of development and consciousness. Therefore, I think his spoken letter addressed at Muslims is actually quite strong and forward thinking when you leave out his lashing out against Green. It also needs to be acknowledged that Green has a huge orange shadow at the moment being willing to give up freedoms like freedom of speech and even bodily autonomy for the sake of political correctness, social justice and public or "collective" health. Peterson is right to reject that and even right to be afraid of it. People like him are needed to balance and straighten out the green revolution. Petersons comments about Elliot were a mess though. Nothing about that made a lot of sense. I think Twitter handled it ok, given that they give him a chance to correct himself and then is page would be online again. It's not like he uttered a hurtful opinion and then was perma banned. He was transphobic the moment he refused to call Elliot by his name, disrespecting and discriminating against his gender identity. I think there is an argument to be made against mandated speech when it comes to hundreds of weird and hard to understand pronouns describing 100s of degrees of gender fluidity. But when a woman becomes a man, it's not that hard Jordan, not that hard.

@Globalcollective Thanks for sharing

It's all inner game. How do you frame the situation, what's your agenda and how do you feel. This is so important. How do you feel, what's your energy.

@mr_engineer Leo made a new commitment to allow for dissenting opinions. Let's see how he holds up. The focus should simply be on truth. How anyone copes with it, is second order. No one is making any brash and one-dimensional claims about looks. My position is very holistic, context-dependent and nuanced. If that isn't possible to express here, we have a problem and then the accusation of cultish behaviour is justified.

@Gesundheit2 Your looks are in fact not mostly determined by your genetics in terms of attractiveness. Facial attractiveness is most important. Your genetics determine your unique features like skin, eye and hair colour as well as small details. But when it comes to the growth of the face, your tongue posture and myofunctional health determine the craniofacial development most. Height may be more of a genetic factor (I don't know and have to look that up). Addition: In the future, I'll try to compile my knowledge and make a post in the health section of the forum on proper tongue posture as well as myofunctional and craniofacial health. Besides improved looks, it also increases your oxygen intake, nasal breathing capacity (how easy it is to do it), and improves your whole body posture and especially your neck posture. It improves sleep, get's rid of snoring and can even heal sleep-disordered breathing (like it did for me).

@something_else Thanks for sharing

@mr_engineer Laughably low level of consciousness? Really? Come on man. Why do want to debunk anything? It's about integration and holistic understanding. I have gotten laid and was in long-term relationships numerous times before. It's all in congruence with the black pill thus far. Not because they were exceptions but on par with my looks. And the one girl that wasn't, cheated on me.

This is incredible. Love the star shapes. I want these kind of light stars on my lens got dammit. My Lens doesn't have anything close to this beauty and brilliance. I want a James Webb for Christmas.

@mr_engineer Thanks for acknowledging that the black pill position needs to be evaluated properly. If we are going to question whether or not other conscious entities exist outside our experience, we can also entertain the black pill. As I said above, there is some truth to the black pill and my prior points haven't been addressed and proven wrong so far. I want to have an open mind and disprove the black pill for myself but the position is honestly very strong if put into a proper context with nuance. I should try and wipe the slate clean and assume that women would give me the same chance as they would someone like Henry Cavill. Just go into a conversation or interaction with the mindset of "I look like him" and can feel as confident because looks don't matter so Henry or me - no difference Notice that that's a different argument than "I am going to learn game and become a PUA and get women despite my looks because I am such a gamey, charismatic mf". This is what 99 percent of black pill critics recommend. The argument is basically: "black pill? yes but game is more important". So there are pillars of attraction you can invest into to up your SMV and you can compensate with one for the other. This position also acknowledges that the black pill - women prefer better-looking guys linearly on a spectrum according to fairly objective and scientific standards of facial development, can still be true. Leo's approach of "approach 100s and 100s of women and get maybe one lay" seems ridiculous to me. Again, think of Cavill and ask yourself if that would happen. I would predict that 99,9 percent of women would go and bone him no questions asked, no words spoken, just because he looks like a greek god (and is a rich celebrity). This doesn't debunk game but puts it in its place. Also, to the men: how much do you care about looks? That's right, women are a lot more like us in that regard than you think. That's the danger of science and logic, it's too damn convincing and can't be brushed off like a religious dogma, cause it's reproducable and based on "facts". Yes, for the purposes of making decisions and evaluations, those are practically facts in the same way the laws of physics and it's theories are factual enough to build a freaking nuclear power plant. Not all facts or assessments of reality are created equal. Evolutionary psychology teaches us that we select for best genetics and attributes of fitness (in the evolutionary sense) and craniofacial development is one major component of fitness and health - and that is linearly correlated with facial aesthetics. Is this an absolute fact? No. Practically a fact? yes. Alright, I am done here.

What an attitude. It's honestly painful to read this. Sorry you wasted your money. Instead of doing that and complaining like a spoiled little child, you could have come to this conclusion early on and gotten your refund.

Check out Leo's latest video about not knowing. Wanting reasons to debunk someone won't lead you to the (complex) truth but is simply an attempt to construct a narrative to "debunk" a worldview that threatens you. The black pill is extremly threatening if you want a beautiful, high consciousness girlfriend and you need her to be attracted to you to feel good about yourself. The truth is, if you look like a weak, skimpy gnome with pimpels a deformed face, a hooked nose, crooked teeth and a weak recessed jaw, she won't feel like fucking you no matter how charismatic you are. This isn't absolute but highly likely and makes sense from an evolutionary-psychological perspective. That's my claim. I am not completely attached to it but my experience in my 24 years on this earth is that the relationships that work and are happy are those where the two partners are equally attractive in terms of facial aesthetics. That's the norm, that's like 99 percent from my direct experience (not kidding, I thought about all the relationships I know of and that 1 percent of doubt is just in case I forgot somone). There are always deviations from the norm depending on the values, sensibilities, preferences, priotities, psychology and state of consciousness of the person involved. There is a lot of subjective leeway for what is attractive and there are non scientific factors of temperament and personality that affect attractiveness. Some women like men with strong roman noses or bald guys are whatever. I personally wouldn't fuck a girl who is completely out of congruence with my values even if she looked like victoria secret model. If she thinks genocide and child rape are ligitimate things to engage in I am not sticking it in there lmao. What we are all attracted to however is health and a certain development of the craniofacial complex is required for optimal health. So I guess you need baseline looks, looks that don't choke you to death because your face is so squished, air can't get in. A recessed jaw also fucks with your posture which impairs your oxygenation, stability, parasympathetic activation and stress management. Proper air flow and craniofacial fucntioning correlates with aesthetics. It's called forward and lateral growth of the craniofacial complex. We are highly attuned to pic that up as a selection mechanism for mates. This has evolved over millions of years. I will make an effort as a self assessed 7.5 to get a bunch of 10s using nothing but pure charisma, wit and intelligence. I see some chances but looking like Henry Cavill is the fast track without all the effort lmfao. Feel free to respectfully disagree or give your spin on this. Let's a have a constructive discussion about the component of looks in attraction.

@Raze @Raze Thank you!

Hey guys, My last girlfriend cheated on me and since then I have been extremly suspicious of women. On top of that my best friend and second best friend started talking shit about me behind my back and started excluding me from their lives because I was having a tough time and wasn't as much fun to be around and their eyes a burden as I was struggling to heal my sleep apnea (took me 4 years but managed to heal it to subclinical levels). BTW my best friend was my best friend for most of my live since 5th grade up to me turning 21. Since then I have lost more and more people as I became more and more secluded, suspicious and selfish. I see everyone as unconscious little devils without integrity and morals. I have since realized that my current suspicions are mostly unfounded and that I am severly sabotaging my relationships. Any tips, methods, insights and your own experiences and how you delt with them are welcome. Thanks

Yeah have been utilizing the trinity of practices: Yoga, Breathwork and Meditation to unearth and release a lot of trauma. Since my comittment yesterday I am doubling down in my efforts. I am preparing myself for a home dark room retreat and later this year intend to do some 5meo again

There is some truth to the black pill. I recommend the book "understanding and overcoming the black pill" by Martin Goldberg. It's not perfect and in my opinion gives black pill principles a bit too much credit, meaning he still has a black pilled biased blind spot but he addresses the truths about physical attraction we all intuitively know to be true and gives a you a fairly balanced perspective to have your peace with it and navigate the dating landscape knowing this facet of human attraction.
