Well, BTC did hit 40k USD even with all this covid thing going on, if anyone would of invested in it, they've would of made money. BTC has been around for quite a while now, and we see more and more institutions pouring millions in it, we see shops starting to offer crypto payments, we start to see crypto ATM's, hell, even paypal now offers BTC & ETH payments, so does pornhub, others will follow. Of course the avarege Joe resists change, and governments don't like it because it's not transparent enoug, but it's obviously comming, and IMO it's already here and here to stay.

behind every joke there is some truth

Hey, I was watching this the other day.. it's just insane - a person charged with murder drives his own car, starts a business and studies IT while doing time. He lives better then me in every aspect except for his criminal history. heh.

Hey everyone, I just finished my first book on the topic of zen, enlightenment etc - Alan Watts - The way of Zen. And it's a great book, I'm fascinated how easy it was to read it. Anyway, after completing the book I don't feel like there is any point to do self-inqury anymore, I mean I've been meditating and self-inquiring for a while now (I've Meditating daily ~1.5 years and self-inqury 2 - 3 times a week for 5 - 7 months) I do understand that asking myself questions like "who am I" or "what am I" or the neti neti method is basically spinning around in circles, chasing my tail - asking myself who is myself, while being I while searching for the I, and basically fueling my own existance. Baisacally the conclusion after finishing the book is that reaching Dao cannot be the goal or a destination or something to achieve because if it becomes one of these, it's not Dao. And that makes perfect sense since a goal, destination or achievement is a thing and how can enlightenment be a thing? I basically don't see any point of asking questions anymore or even looking since what is there to look for? Who's looking? It's still my mind that's doing all that. Any tips on what to do? How to think? or Any idea of how to proceed on this spiritual journe y past this point would be helpfull.

Okay, but I suppose I'll need some pointer to where else to look? As @Nahm said "Focus on the feeling of being "me", and that's exactly what I've been doing most of the time.

Maan, if i'd get my hands on psyches that'd be great. I've never even tried them because I have no access to them and due to Covid it's not possible to travel to any of these places that you mentioned. Anyway, I hope you're exaggerating on 80 years .. How come some people 'get' there without psyches at all.. So I guess it's still possible. So what to do in the mean time while we are stuck at home? I'm basically just sitting in silence for the past weeks and doing some visualizations and general self-help exercises.

Well, IMO the first thing to do is to is to look at how are they toxic? Are they insulting you, being disrespectful towards you, being passive-aggressive? Why does this happen? Do you have clear boundaries that you have set and are able to maintain? Holding you back from what?

I thought about this - he probably has that "I don't give a shit about anxiety, paranoia and others opinions and even the idea that I might be going insane" because he's been into mental hospitals, jail etc. And even if someone starts to make fun of him.. I guess that jab is still on point tho. EDIT: He probably even has personal psychologists, psychiatrists, mentors, spiritual teachers etc that work with him individually on daily basis so I guess his growth might be related to his finances and the ability to afford all that shit -- Even tho this is just an assumption.

This ^ Even tho, it's not quite clear if DMT & other psyches are the reason for this or the fact that he went bankrupt after earning 600mil (hitting rock bottom) or simply maturing? Anyway, he's a good public example how a person can go up the spiral. EDIT: I hope Eliott Hulse will go trough the same route.

To me it actually sounds like it's the other way around, like this: I do want to work out, I do want to meditate, I do want to study, BUT I'm too lazy to work out, I'm too lazy/don't feel like (insert any other excuse here) to do this and that. Isnt it that you actually want to be able to always want to work out/meditate/study and to always don't want to don't want to work out, study meditate etc? if thats the case, you might want to look into visualizations, positive thinking exercises - Leo had an exercise where you visualize how you're life would be in 5, 10, 20 years if you did work out, meditate, study etc and how your life would be if you wouldn't. Maybe try this out. To me it sounds more of a motivation issue, maybe take a look into this vid:

A lot, however that won't mean anything if the dude is an insecure, needy, beta simp. You can have the best clothes/style in the world and still have 0 success with those charecteristics. Most women pay a lot of attention on how you dress, details - accessories, brands. The better you look - the better you feel, the more confident you'll be. So go ahead and work on your style, plenty of youtubers out there. It doesn't mean that you have to walk around in gucci or prada with a rolex watch, just make sure your clothes fit well and have some edge. For me personally the style changes occured only after some serious shadow work on my insecurities, limiting beleifs, victim mentality.. once I got trough that .. oh boy... Edit: TBH it's actually quite hard to simply change your style drastically, it takes courage and it sorta throws you out of your comfort zone, I do believe that style/clothe colors are closely linked to ones personality,, but I'm not sure how.

Yes And as mentioned above, don't beat around the bush talking about hobbies all the time. Without showing intention you'll just land in the friend zone, and she'll land on some other dude. Also look for choosing signals, watch her body language. Edit: BTW while we're at it - I've breeded with 2 coworkers (female) in my ex work place, the stupidest thing I did was keep them in my 'fuck-buddy' rotation and eventually they found out about each other, and well there was drama in workplace and management got involded - long story short I don't recommend dating coworkers unless your sure that it won't affect you and your work.

But that's exactly what I said - IMO - Only reproduce if you have the finances, intelligence and overall circumstances to provide for your children. EDIT: Even tho, I know a narcissistic couple who just popped 2 daughters into existance, even tho they have the money it will be a psychological hell for their kids. I imagine growing up with just one parent with NPD, but with 2.. it's just pure hell.

Well I have to admint that 99% of my suffering was due to the fact that my parents weren't really ready to have children - financially, emotionally & spiritually. And as a result the child suffers due to lack of money within the family, constant arguments, alcohol, abuse etc and that causes trauma that sinks into adult life. Yes, this is true of course, but if you have the finances, intelligence and overall circumstances to raise children and if you want them, go ahead. otherweise - please don't. I'm myself close to 30 years old (I'm a dude) and I don't see how will I be able to afford children, even tho I'm working on building a carreer right now, I don't really think that I will have children during this lifetime.. and it's okay.

Hehe, the Woman is yet to discover that the 'present' only exists relatively to the 'past' or 'future' if there is no past or future, then what is the present?

Wrong question. The propper one is not what she wants but - what can she get? Whats your sexual market value? As for the later - Quite simple IMO : 1. Grocery stores, especially vegan sections & healthy food/sports nutrition sections. 2. Work (depends on what you do ofc) 3. libraries 4. Gym 5. Courses/Seminars 6. Volunteer work & This forum I'm not saying every woman you meet there will be high quality/high consciousness, but the chances are higher. def not dating sites, clubs or bars .. I'm not saying high quality women dont go there, but the chances ar low.

Don't! Either be a devil and use her vulnerability to smash & leave or just don't do anything, don't 'save' women. IMO most women are survavalists/materialistic so you can easily attract women with higher levels of consciousness than you do, if you have the package that they're looking for,

I wouldn't be so sure about this, Its most likely that smaller countries where corruption is higher (Eastern Europe for example) might be pumping Covid cases up artificially to get more money from US/EU.
