Healthy nihilism emerges at Stage Green, assuming the person is mentally stable. It essentially is the deconstruction of conventional and/or mainstream ways of thinking and living.

What are you doing hanging out with gang members in the first place? A way to deal with this situation is to remove yourself from it as quick as possible.

Sounds like insecurity on your end. With women, if their attraction for you is really high, they will certainly overlook things like your income. She would much rather you be confident and secure in yourself than rich. Money is only an add-on.

To me, this really isn't a surprising thing. People are now starting to see college is mandatory for career success. Men may be pursuing more trades or starting businesses. Women have just now begun to equal the playing field in education and the corporate workplace. This is a phase that has gained momentum. It simply comes down to career interest (if not just being lazy). After a while, college attendance will probably continue to drop for everyone, especially if student debt is an issue.

That's not even logical. This hypothetical "darker" person in your statement would need to do some serious pickup/approach to even get intel on the quantity of people that are attracted to them sexually. And I am sure if they did that in masses, they would find a good number of folks who are attracted. I'm African American and have had several sexual encounters with people outside of my race, and in my race. Sounds like you have a limiting belief, stop projecting it onto others. Each human is responsible for creating a quality sex life.

What's the issue here? People have differing sexual preferences. It's not racist to be partial in who you are attracted to, it's being authentic. There are millions of people that are attracted to darker skin complexions, that doesn't make them racist either. Don't be so silly.

Notice that you are talking to yourself. Put in the effort to introspect to come up with your own answers. You won't find it from humans.

Yea..but be sure you don't have a bias against being bias. Love includes all things.

Might be too much information, but masturbating has worked well for me in regards to unwinding for bed . I have a lot of energy, helps to get out from time.

Love is the state of being whole/complete

Practicing gratitude goes a long, long way.

Facts. Life is trial and error. it’s not about how many times you fall, and it’s about how many times you get back up.

Goal: To die knowing I gave my best in living life.

Lol there's a lot of truth to this. But...it simply shows how powerful the ego is in using fear to help with survival situations. Alas...there is nothing behind you, nor is there anything in front of you. There is no YOU to ground these things.

My Mom cared, but she was also domineering. I'm just now changing that in our relationship, and I am in my 30s. Takes courage.

Trippy insight... I have reached a pretty high level of consciousness during this trip. This was one like non-other. It's almost like God-realization and awakening are too separate things. Regular awakening to nature of God is not sufficient to completely annihilate all the deceptions of the ego. It feels like (and I am realizing this after trips and deep contemplating) that our spiritual journeys will ultimately be seen for what they are..illusions and distractions from Truth (that we are literally dreaming everything up). It's a paradox though, because you have to participate in the illusion of spirituality to break out of the illusion. Just realize...when you become God, you'll understand that spirituality will take a backseat along with ego...in the backseat of illusion.

Deconstruction of language is a good starting point.

I agree. It’s a necessary endeavor, illusory or not. My insights are a bit advanced, not meant to discourage newbies. I would not have gotten to the realization that spiritual work is illusory without actually partaking in spiritual work itself.

Why let people have control of your quality of life? Sounds like a recipe for misery..

Yes - O definitely recommend it. In fact, society should promote the use of therapy more for various emotional problems, and basic/routine wellness. Do research on your therapist, some specialize in certain areas (mental health, family/relationships, addiction, childhood trauma, etc.).

The realization comes with an enormous sense of life purpose. To see the beauty in life, and to love it fully. True indeed.

What separates the real ones from the fake ones? Fake gurus, to me, tend to be overly mystical in their teachings, purposely confusing students to keep them coming back for more. Some of them don’t even know what awakening is, but act as they do. They’d much rather keep students partially in the light AND partially in the dark with promises of “liberation” and “freedom” from reality. Real gurus cut straight to the point, and don’t seek to keep students thru cult dynamics. They’ll want you to awaken as fast as possible, and leave all searching/seeking. They know that ultimately, there is no liberation or freedom from life, because life is all there is…life IS GOD. This requires a watchful eye over the ego and it’s trickery. P.S. these dynamics apply to spiritual students as well. Best to verify if they seek to serve God, or worship the guru.

@zzboy Counter question, what are your thoughts?

There are definitely toxic ways to do pickup. Essentially, you want to be honest with women about your willingness to commit. If you plan on keeping her around after having sex, she’ll eventually bring up the status of the relationship and where it’s headed. It’s important you don’t lie about your feelings on this point…a lot of guys mess up here.

Wise advice :-)
