Test it out, one time doesnt make you gay, especially if youre young and need money

The current evolution is a tricky thing. We have more resources than ever, but at the same time the system and technology is sucking out humaneness from people. Mental illnesses are rampant.

"I have literally lost my motivation to pursue success and i am feeling so empty now" Dont worry about this. Success is a joke. Do you see any animal striving for success? read that line again and think about what success means to you. For me success doesnt anymore mean money, achievement, girlfriend, family, friends etc. all the values society and media gives you. For me success nowadays means peace of mind (i have a lot to do here still) and being good to other people. If you are trying to success from place of compulsiviness, whatever you achieve will not make u happy

Everytime YOU are around people conversations are soo boring. What is the common factor here? You might want to focus on real life instead of daydreaming and imagining. Im not fucking with you, just saying..

Almost 100% of the people (specially me) on the forum uses this for mental masturbation. If you are where you want to be, you have no need to be on this forum.

there is no quarantees. lets face it, probably 99% of the people who want to become enlightened never become that. It´s is very rare. But it is still worth doing the work, even thought you wouldnt become enlightened, you will learn a lot how you´re mind and psyche works. I think we have better teachers nowadays than ever, who can point you to right direction, so the likelyhood of enlightenment should be bigger than ever. -
Hehheh, just came from running, shit was hilarious. The thing i didnt know on the starting line was that this is an extreme run, lol. It came clear to me in the first 2 kilometres thought. the road was full os swamp and rocks and up and down all the time in the woods, no flat ground more than maybe 200 metres at the time. Long story short. Im happy how it went about 9,5km, i had 2 good running partners there. then i start to get fucking cramps on my calfs and i start to slow down a lot and have to let go those two runners. last 4-4,5km i focus that i just ran, dont mind the pace, calfs are cramping in the rises and i slipped 4 times together on the run, lucky nothing bad happened. Im sure there came a lot of injuries, since it has been raining last couple of days the rocks were slippery and swamps were big. super dangerous route. Yea, last 4-4,5km i ran by myself and was slow as fuck, but only one motherfucker passed me. My inexperience from running up/downs cost me lol. i treated this like its little over 10km on more flat ground. suprise suprise i slowed down after 10km. I havent actually even run more than 12km for a while, so maybe it woulda been wise to start little slower. but i dont know would my time have been any better, since i came pretty hard the first 10km. I dont know what my time was, waiting for results. I could be in top 10, although i sucked ass. Top 15 definitely. There was about 35 participants in my division.

I love Alan Watts, I have most of his books and watched all the lectures. I love how he breaks down the universe. But he was a different kind of guy than you think. He lived a very hedonistic life style: married 3 times (cheated all of them), booze-bag and a chain smoker. He didnt have a meditation practice (in his youth he studied zen etc and meditated, but not in the later years). He himself said that he felt like a trickster, which made him feel empty. One of his buddies said that Alan always found trouble wherever he go. There´s a book called zen effects, which shows a little bit more who alan watts was. He was a genius at public speaking and using language. But not so genius in many other areas. I still love the guy, but i dont think he was very enlightened -
probably poor charlies almanack from what ive heard. it´s so good you cant even find it on the marked unused :) in amazon they sell used. it costs something like 60 bucks.
-
yes, true. it makes me too little more mellow, so i wont use it for gym. for yoga it´s good.
-
a lot of high level athletes and bodybuilders do this.
-
this is a good advice, it also works for running. i havent done this for a long time, but it can make the activity more fun

Not anymore i guess, i got 150 ug tabs. I guess it´s pretty decent dose for first time. I have always tripped solo on mushrooms, so i guess i do it with acid also. Gonna do it after i have bought a house. Bank threw me a loan today basically.

Ask me if I do this every day, I said, "Often." Ask how many times she rode the wave—"Not so often." Bitches down to do it either way, often Baby I can make that pussy rain, often Often, often, girl I do this often Make that pussy poppin', do it how I want it Often, often, girl I do this often Make that pussy poppin', do it how I want it Often Im few beers in (raaarely drink) but im gonna do my evening meditation in a minute. I deleted the thing i was going to post, because it was shit. I have been reading a lot of lately. seth godin icarus deception (great), all marketers are liars, Ralston the book of not knowing, 7 habits of highly effectibe people by covey, the science of getting rich by wallace. next will be warren buffets book and 6 pillars of self esteem by branden. I sometimes read 4-5 books at once, its kind of cool, you can choose the book depending on youre mood or daytime. My life hasnt been very intresting lately, LOL I have running competition coming next week, preperation has been shit for last 2 weeks but i should be in a decent shape compared to my normal level. little behind, but decent. Lets see how it goes, i havent that much run on nature where there up/downs. Goal is to be in top 10% of the competitors. working, reading a lot, working out, meditating. hasnt been much else lately. Im gonna roll on to basic psychology studies for open university. the course base seemed intresting, otherwise i wouldnt roll on. what else? I got tickers for louis ck show, pretty excited to see him. Might hit on (not physically) one women who seemed pretty intresting, have to talk to her more first and find out more.

I sometimes skip breakfast and have 15 hour fast. my body doesnt work that well in the morning and for me it is not a problem not to eat in the first few hours of the morning. But if i workout in the morning i have to eat after that, or the workout is pointless. I have been planning to do 1-2 day fast maybe every once a month / once a 2 month

Yea, aldous huxley has good books. Island is my favorite of his. Dostojevski, Tolstoi. Brother Karamazov is better than any self help book

I watched this yesterday and i actually really liked it. It went little deeper into tony robbins, i have read his books etc. but never really knew much about else him than his life story. Most of the people get hyped and pumb´d up on the seminar, but i would guess most of them go back to old habits etc. after that. the document gives the viewer the illusion that everybody will chance after the seminar, lol. It appeals to the masses. But i think Tony Robbins is a great guy, he has definitely helped a lot of people.

of course i know this as intellectual level, and get to sometimes experience it on meditation, on shrooms and sometimes sober. but on the daily grind my mind gets distracted a lot of times

Damn, i have had same type of experience. about a decade ago i lost the control of my card during winter on a downhill. Pace was probably somewhere around 40 miles per hour, enough to kill. As i lost the control of the car, time slowed down / stopped to exist, even though i was pretty sure me and my friend is going to die or suffer badly, this was one of the most peacufull moments of my life. I think the car span 360 degrees once or twice plus 180. This moment was a pure flow of life.
