That's why I don't take him seriously anymore. Maybe I should, but I just can't by into the bullshit hype. Time will tell.

My ex was complaining that I wasn't emotional enough and wasn't sharing my emotions to the degree she wanted. I think if you feel a need to do it, you should, not out of some requirenment that you read somewhere, or just because girls asks you to. Just be genuine, and see where that takes you. Of couse if you act like a cry baby, complaining, whining and being emotional daily to her, that might become a turn off. Find a masculine ground if you are leaning more into it, but also find ways to integrate the feminine. Being vulnurable and emotional from time to time can be okay and deepen intimacy I think.

I just saw it, looks promising. Do you get any value out of that community? Are there valuable discussions?

Who, Elon?

@LordFall No I'm not into dating apps, but I don't think that's true. So you could take photos of an unattractive (looks) guy and make him more attractive? How?

As he said, the ending suffering book was initially part of this new book, but he seperated it because it was getting too much, and made it into a separate book. He's been working on that for 10 years.

Yea, somebody should email Bryan's posts to Brandon so they are aware

[4/30] ✅ I relapsed again, but I realized it's not a good idea to fight this thing the way I do it. I'll change a strategy, since I have a very high sex drive, I just can't completely cut that out of my life, I'll remove any external stimulation (videos, photos, etc), I'll just make a practice out of it, couple times a month to get to know my own body and feelings better. The addiction part comes from external stimulation, so I'll track that, that's unhealthy for me, not the release part. Sleep: 11:00 => 06:30 (oh man, I feel such a releif that this routine if finally locked in, struggled so much because of it) What I did: 20m meditation 6m pranayamas 45m reading Push workout 45m Caloric deficit What I didn't do: Study => Still, I had lots of work to do, and was too tired in the evening, and was working in the morning too. So, a summary: I'm working with meditative practices in baby steps, I should not judge the progress for at least 6 months, I just gotta show up every day and follow the practice instruction as best as I can. So far so good. Weight loss and exercise are locked in, I'm tracking progress with a coach and I won't derail here anymore, in 6 months I'll achieve my weight loss goal and then I'll switch to maintenance calories, and continue exercising (with more intensity) I read daily, I have tens of books to read so that's crucial. This habit is locked in. Sleep schedule is fixed and locked in. I'll be working on a healthy sexuality habits, that is the main focus now, I want to stop doing it compulsively and out of an addiction, and switch to a more healthy version, because complete abstinense didn't work (at least now, I'll try again in 1-2 months when the healthier habit is in place) I need to put more focus into allocating time for study / personal projects. Work eats up all time and energy from the day, so it will be wise to do this in the morning. But morning is for practices / working out, I have to squeeze that as well somehow. Okay, now the most important thing is to not relapse anymore, and just continue my habits as best as I can.

Can't wait to read this, he's such a gem. I hope he lives a long time to come, he looks very good for 76 years old.

@glassfire Okay, got it. When I first heared of lucid dreaming and started reality checks, I got lucid very easily. I think the excitement part plays a big role, it also goes with you when you sleep. Once it became mechanical, it stopped working. Yeah I've had those, and woke up with frustration that I was so stupid not to realize that it was actually a dream, when the content of the dream was about lucid dreaming.

@integral Thanks, I'll look into this more. So I guess the key thing here is doing sports/gym with awareness right? I go to gym but most of the times I just follow the motions without body awareness, but from time to time if I direct my awareness to the muscle group I'm working at, exercise actually feels to be more effective.

He said couple years ago that the age of self-driving cars being everywhere was just around the corner. Well, when was the last time you saw a self-driving car on the streets. I don't believe anything he says.

How could these induce a lucid dream? Did this actually work for you?

Leo is on fire lately 😅 Hard to keep up with all the blog posts. I went into Soft White Underbelly channel rabbit-hole, watched tens of interviews, it's really a goldmine. Good stuff. Just finished this one. Jesus, it's really eye opening the shit some people go through in their childhood into their adulthood. What I like about these inteviews is on the one hand you get first hand perspective on some crazy stories, and also it makes you reflect on your life more. This helps me look outside my bubble a bit.

@VioletFlame Hey, your story is very inspiring, thanks for sharing 💙🙏🏻 I'll ask you couple things, since you have a massive experience in dealing with trauma. I wasn't so explicitly traumatized in the childhood, but I sense that I have some behavioral tendencies for example towards some addictions, or for isolation, for emotional avoidance, not expressing myself fully, etc. Some of those might be rooted in some experiences that I had, but I can't fully connect the dots. In your experience, after all those practices you list above, did you also connect some dots that you weren't aware of, or were all your trauma and hardships linked to that major experience of abuse you had from your brother? This year I started working on some theraputic practices. Going to therapy didn't work, it was a waste of time for me, I did couple holotropic breathwork sessions and I plan to continue weekly and now I'm learning TRE (Trauma Release Exercises), also I'm gaining some momentum in my meditation and yogic practice. I'll dive deeper and deeper as months go by, hopefully some things will pop up and I'll understand reasonings behind my own structures better. Lastly, how do you think, if you didn't experience the abuse you describe, how would your life unfold? What would you do differently? In what ways would you be different than you are now? Btw you sing really well, just watched your TikToks. It's great that you've found your creative outlet after the things you went through. Good luck with your studies 🙌

Depends on the app.

I noticed I don't have a good study plan, so when I'm about to start, I don't know it beforehand what I'm gonna be working on. I've noticed that creates an additional resistance layer. I'll spend some time today creating a plan so that on every study block I know what I'm gonna focus on exactly.

Hey, I'm working as a software developer (mostly web) for 8-9 years now, and for the last couple years, the industry is being reshaped in front of my eyes due to AI. At the moment, it's like, if you don't use some sort of AI agent in your workflow, you're getting behind, and you feel that each month. Managers push us to use AI more and more, and expect productivity gains due to it, and for the last 2-3 months, AI agents have improved to such a degree that me and most developers around me don't actually type code manually, the process has morphed into talking with an agent, or multiple agents at once, and basically orchestrating them, reviewing code, making sure they do the job correctly, and if an agent isn't able to do something, then we switch back to an old school way and do things manually. These agents affected the industry so much that many of us have anxiety over losing our jobs in the long term. That's why now I'm switching more and more into roles and projects that require more architectural and big-picture thinking skills. If not at the current job, I try to advance those skills with my own toy projects in my free time. So, I was wondering if any of you guys experience similar changes due to AI in your induestries. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts.

@integral What practices led to that permanent state? Do you still have it?

[3/30] ✅ What I did: No relapses => oh man, the whole day was filled with triggers, but didn't act on them 18m meditation => felt aggitated in the end and stopped 6m pranayamas => starting slow, have to make sure the technique is correct first 1.5h reading Caloric deficit What I didn't do: Study => I had lots of work to do and haven't found time for studying Okay, now the 4th day, it's been going fine so far.

I loved Mirrors Edge, the first one though, haven't played the second one. This was like a soundtrack for some part of my childhood I played it so much lol. Is sequel also good?
