why are you doing this again? Hopefully you’re not suppressing natural urges with guilt and shame.

This will work for now .. be confident externally, and work on your internal attachment issues by introspection / shadow work.

Feeling like God these days (I say this not from ego / narcissism .. I could care less about my ego). My advice is to try to love yourself more and more each day.

If you explore consciousness deep enough, you'll realize there is no "other" to become, and no "other" that is imagining you.

This works against you of course. If you can't find a way to genuinely detach from whatever end result you want from a girl, at least display it in your external mannerism. You are 23, be thankful for your youth. Keep circulating, dating more people and you'll naturally become less attached / needy for sex.

Re-contextualize your notion of what's unfair. Jealousy and envy comes from wanting something that someone else has, but deeply question why you should want it. Would it be at worth it, if deep down inside, you continued to feel unworthy? You have to be willing to love yourself, and life just as it is .. by finding the beauty in whatever is happening at this moment. Your ego will not want to do this, but it is your ego that keeps you in a constant state of suffering. God loves you as you are.

Self = God = Infinity = Love = Consciousness = You ** No-Self is a popular term used by Neo Advaita followers. It really just highlights the formless nature of Self .. but still .. there is a Self. It would be better if ‘The Selfless Self’ was used instead of ‘No-Self’.

This thread is still alive? Lol. Fap till you tap is my motto .. to hell with this virtue signaling ! God didn’t create your hands, private parts, and high speed internet for no reason

Unfortunately, it’s most likely due to a deeper feeling that you have of being undeserving of the relationship you have with your girlfriend (insecurity). The root of this is a low self esteem. You have to look at things for what they are before you can begin changing them.

Good that you can admit when you are jealous. It may help you to tell your girlfriend how you feel, with no expectation of her to change her behavior (as this is about you, not her). If you think you'll ruin her time at the concert with your jealous behavior, you may want to consider skipping out. By all means, don't make her feel bad about who she's attracted to .. true love is deeper than any celebrity crush.

Why does it shock you? What matters in existence is a relative notion .. the wise thing would be to not take offense.

@Everything thank you!

I have an receive offer to work for a popular tech company (it was on my target list), and have the option to work out San Fran / Bay Area or New York City. Right now, I am trying to determine which would be a good fit based on the following: Cost of Living Quality of Living Cultural Diversity Food (had to throw this one in) Public transportation system Activities (museums, parks, beaches, clubs, festivals, etc) Does any live or has previously lived in one or both cities? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Existence isn't made of any fabric or structures, it just is what it is.

You can link this to the emotions that come up when you find out you were wrong about something. Especially when you were 100% wrong and absolutely deluded about something you had a strong conviction about. For human egos, being wrong can be equivalent to death. It take a great deal of consciousness to be vulnerable, and see the growth in being wrong about certain convictions.

What about your POV, Leo? I sense a slight push from you to defend Russia's strategy .. this may be in an effort to get others see beyond biases in favor of the USA and their stronghold on geo-politics .. but wanted to be sure. Putin is also a bully to a degree.

You should probably find out if she's interested in you romantically at all. You don't want to put the cart before the horse. To me, engaging in drug use with someone you are just beginning to get romantically involved with is not the best idea .. at least initially. Go out on fun dates, have sex, learn about each other's interest .. keep it very casual. You'll want to make sure this person isn't toxic, and someone worthy of building a healthy relationship with. This takes time and patience.

@Jacob Morres what are you going to do when she finds out your real height? lol Like already mentioned, go out and approach .. anything outside of you doing this is a waste. Learn through trial and error .. which starts with ACTION

God realization is irreversible . If you are seeing it as a negative, it just means you need to go deeper. Either you do it, or remain stuck in nihilism..which can destroy you. Once you get a taste of your God nature (even for a short while), there is no turning back.

Sounds like you didn’t take the course (or didn’t complete it). Otherwise, you’d have these questions answered. Problem is trying to find these answers from sources outside of your heart. Focus on deriving these answers for yourself..no one can provide you a worthwhile life purpose.

When you die, you continue dreaming.

Agreed. A conscious life purpose should have very little association with low level survival demands.

Lol.

The more your social skills suck, the more deliberate practice is needed in the field. In the case of partying and nightclubs, stay till the party is over (assuming you are spending most of the time approaching and not standing in a corner)

As long as “handling all of it” means deeply feeling those unpleasant feelings of trauma, and integrating the shadow caused by them.
