Many of the popular youtoob teachers are stage blue, or even historic teachers like Suzuki DT. They're obviously a more mentally stable than Connor, but I wouldn't say mental development is the biggest issue with him - I think the main issue is just mental instability + narcissism.

If you became aware of it through a different method you wouldn't really have any less reason to doubt it than if you reach it via psychadelics.

Yeah, maybe after a year of monk level meditation @jaylimix would realize that he can get out of his shitty life situation.

Biphasic sleep. Just get your 6 - 9 hours in. I personally thrive when I sleep only for like 3 hours a night and then have my second sleep from 16 to 20.

If you you're homeless you won't really live anywhere.

He would have to find an enlightened assistant lol, I´d be suprised if he found someone´s who´s both capable of judging peoples development so well & is willing to check thousands for letters.

The thing is that destabilizing states are inevitable no matter how much you prepare, even in less advanced forms of spirituality.

Maybe pick up some sort of martial art. And practice standing up for yourself when nessecary (which is something you can do pretty often). But don´t overdo it.

Remember how christians used to burn witches (along with their cats : D)? Have you read Zen at War?

It´s important to acknowledge how lucky it is to discover spiral dynamics. Lot´s of right wingers & centrists study history & lots of them are right wingers (edit: this sentence is weirdly formulated due to modafinil brainfreeze, but you get the point). The more accurate determining factor would be overall personal growth, in my opinon (rather than how much history you studied).

Not exactly a man, since he's a rapist : D

What makes you think that only some women have an "inner bitch" inside of them? (Even if you know her for a long time & she obviously wants to have sex with you - if a man just asked "do you want to have sex?" You wouldn't find it attractive).

The "cool, let's go" is only when she finds you attractive & wants to have sex with you. Which unfortunately doesn't work in real life (because of societal programming).

So did you confirm the date before going there? For example the day before? You should do that with the next girl.

Sure. I can't actually ever see through your yes. But I can associate certain things you say with certain mind states, which obviously is error prone but it's more accurate than intellectualizing.

Authority doesn't matter what matters is your own work & willingness to learn from other view points & realize when you don't understand someone's view point so that you can realize what they mean (which helps you form a more whole understanding).

Different metabolisms, different needs. In fact in your case you'd probably perform worse mentally if you cut your calories.

Integrity. You said it.

If you don´t quit it will have the extra benefit of gaining more discipline. Which you´ll need anyway lol. And nft´s are not something that you´d want to make your life focus : D.

Or maybe everyone can learn to just use the forum as a self-actualization and contemplation assisting tool just like how it's supposed to be used instead as a place for theories. He has a lot to offer even if he doesn't share some of his deepest awakenings.

Intermittent fasting. Decrease your eating window gradually. You can still eat tasty food. What you'll find is that you will automatically eat less calories. You don't really need to make that many dietary changes if your only goal is to lose weight. Also you'll get used to hunger pretty fast.

He's mentioned months ago that he might not share more advanced stuff anymore. Maybe something was the last straw.

Maybe he spent the past few days/weeks/months deciding whether to release it and then decided not to? I doubt it's just a spontaneous reaction.

Me too. But how would he choose who to include? That would be way too time consuming and unrealistic. It might actually be beneficial in making us do more work so we don´t have to rely on it.

Combination of concentration meditation and Vipassana. Fasting, Kundalini transmissions or other Kundalini work. Contemplation. All day awareness. Questioning everything. There's a lot you can do. You should combine different traditions and have one core practice because there's a billion of things you can do. You also must strategize well. And listen to dharma talks while meditating, because you can then understand their pointers (which you can't most of the time).
