The term “cold pickup” is a marketing term. It’s bad marketing. When done correctly, approaching a woman in public that you desire is a spiritual practice.

Planting the suggestion that someone is damaged and can't be healed is itself a satanic mindfuck that has been profitable for depth psychology shrinks.

I was almost going to make a thread on this. I have strange synchronicites happening on a regular basis in my everyday life after my two mushroom ceremonies.

If the faith leads to liberation, yes.

You will never figure out what God is through language. The mind just endlessly spins. Worship and rituals are actions which communicate through feelings. Zen goes beyond both. The religions aren’t as dump as the modernists think they are. They have been around thousands of years for a reason.

I recently had a conversation with someone who is further along the path than I and has healed himself. He said the plant medicines were a big factor in his healing. He also confirmed what I have discovered from my own path: establish a relationship with the plant teacher, and it is between you and the plant medicine. You don’t need or want anyone external to you giving you interpretations. They are always misleading.

I'm not sure what orange dating is, but I recently had a 25 year old woman ask if she could be my friend after I told her about the "inner child". Women are very open to spiritual concepts if you explain it in a way that can be understood.

If you want a serious relationship, she could be a great girlfriend. If you are interested, one thing you could do is test her. Don’t go on dates. Do activities that don’t require any money. See if she is still interested in you.

I was in an a small group led by Brad Blanton many years ago. Radical honesty is the way to go in a relationship, but it is difficult for most people to actually do.

Approach a lot of women and keep a journal. Do this like a scientist. Gather data and notice your feelings. Experiment with your behavior. Eliminate supplication. Again, cut out the behavior that leads to undesirable results. Don’t listen to all the negative stuff on the Internet. It will tie you up in knots for years. The Internet is a toilet where people dump their shit.

If someone is trying to shame you, it is your choice whether you want to participate in his game. You can bite the apple or kick him to the curb.

Mushrooms are healing me. I did two Niños Santos ceremonies in Mexico. In the ceremonies, I processed huge amounts of trauma through crying and the mystical visions radically shifted my perspective. The changes have been happening each day after the ceremony. It´s like every day is a work of art with new obstacles provided by the universe to push me forward and strange synchronicities. I now view the ordinary living of life as the highest practice of spirituality. Mushrooms grow in shit. But they turn the shit into beauty. They are the holy children. They teach us that our tragedies and sorrows are the source of our joy.

I stopped listening to Shunyamurti. I actually read his book “The Transformational Imperative”. He has created a grand narrative by mixing a lot of different theories including the psychobabble of Lacan. His system reminds me of Scientology – you have to ascend levels of word salad (called knowledge) in order to reach enlightenment. Theory keeps you perpetually trapped in the spinning left brain. I am gravitating to simpler methods. Being nice to my neighbor is now more valuable to me than studying theories. Reclaim your power and be your own guru.

Is it a civil war or a ghost dance?

His safety rant was far more broad than covid. Keep in mind that psychedelics were made illegal on the pretext of "safety".

She told you that she is interested in a serious relationship. If you don't want that then you should move on.

The problem is that people in politics are motivated by anger and that affects their policies and behavior, like shaming people, cancel culturing people, creating victim narratives, etc. A high consciousness approach would be to create environments where people can heal and connect with each other. That is how to overcome our surface differences.

I’m not sure whether to put this in self actualization, dating, or politics, because it encompasses all three. This is a powerful speech by Owen Cook, who was a dating coach, but has become much more than that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ79Ha5BAm4

I stopped listening to my walkman while walking in the park. Now, I practice mindfulness, focusing my attention on sights, sounds, my walking, practicing shifts of attention, etc. The other thing I do is I talk to strangers. I have found that while most people are in their heads or looking at their phones, there are always a few people that are aware and open for contact. You can smile at them, stop and have a conversation. You find aware people by doing this.

A single dose of 5-meo permanently demolished materialism for me. Then in the next year, my experiences and contemplation served to strengthen and reinforce my shift in perception. Also, I wasn't seeking this out. It was unexpected.

I recently had a long conversation with two young women at a San Pedro ceremony, and their issue is that they wanted to find out how to love themselves. They were also tired of putting on the false mask and wanted friendships where they could be authentic. If you want to understand women, just talk to them in an authentic way. But you have to do it in person.

I am struck by the similarity between God and UFOs. The obvious question that skeptics ask is, if God exists why doesn’t he just reveal himself? The same with UFOs. If the aliens exist then why don’t they just reveal themselves? The whole issue could be resolved tomorrow. Maybe the answer comes from searching within rather than looking externally. You find God by looking inwards to your essence. Maybe the aliens are also within you. But we tend to search for evidence in what we perceive as external to us. Is there any difference between a UFO sighting and a statue of Zeus? https://www.openculture.com/2013/05/carl_jungs_1957_letter_on_the_fascinating_modern_myth_of_ufos.html

It does matter because we are talking about unknown objects moving in the sky. It also raises an interesting question. Many of these UFOs have been reported moving rapidly in the earth’s atmosphere. Wouldn’t this create sonic booms or at least a loud noise?

The earth wasn’t shaking. It was a sky quake.

I don't know if this is related, but I actually felt this and thought it was an earthquake. "Mystery shaking felt, boom heard across San Diego County for third time in 2021" "For the third time since February, a mysterious “skyquake” rattled San Diego County and Tijuana; authorities say it wasn’t an earthquake" https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-safety/story/2021-06-08/mystery-shaking-felt-boom-heard-across-san-diego-county-for-third-time-in-2021
