Someone here

Oh wow ..why did you feel all of that ? I don't think masturbation causes any of these .except maybe pain in the genitals especially if you do it roughly( death grip ).

Weird . I always feel the second and third orgasm more intense than the first one .

Have you ever heard of the Indian phrase; “सुख के दिन नींद आती नही और दुख सोने नहीं देता” Meaning, When you're happy you can't sleep and Sadness doesn't let's you sleep. That's the same thing with life. When we are happy days pass by like moments and when we are sad, every moment seems like eternity. when i say life is too short , this means you shouldnt take up small things for granted . every moment is so important so there’s no use spending it being frustrated or angry about things that you cant change . life is fragile enough so take the opportunity to enjoy living , despite what situation you’re in . whether it’s beauty of sunrise or cup of coffee , enjoy the simple things. you stop wasting your time and energy on unnecessary things such as negativity or toxicity but rather , you embrace emotions such as gratitude and kindness . you know that moment wont last and you take advantage of being in that moment .

"Our desire for liberation shows that our true nature is unlimited " - Ramana Maharshi

When you are on top of the world and feeling amazing because you've been kicking ass in life (whether you have fallen in love with someone,won the lottery etc) then you can't sleep from the amount of positive energy you are experiencing. The same goes with sadness but its more nuanced . Usually you sleep a lot if you are sad because you are trying to escape from negative emotions. But in most cases if something is making you anxious like your exam results in university or your worried about your STD test will turn positive..then you can't sleep either . As a general rule ..happy time passes quickly because you are not focused on time .you are focused on the happiness. And difficult time passes slowly because you are counting every minute in hope for the relief from the struggle.

I think it's relative . There is no black and white answer. Life is Too short if you filled with joy, too long if you are filled with misery. But Both joy and misery are drama finally.

Nothing has a point. Everything is just what it Is but you project meaning and purpose on top of it to help you navigate life .but the cold truth is that the universe is indifferent and it doesn't matter in the slightest bit what you choose to do with your life . But with awakening you can realize that there is no point and be happy and satisfied about it .because you no longer try to achieve anything or get anywhere. There is nothing to achieve and nowhere to go .just enjoy the ride .go sky diving or somethin'.

Why ? Is it because it can be poisoning in high doses ..which is exactly what is needed for it to cause full blown hallucinations? @something_else thank you for your answers .that did clear up some of my confusions . And I guess you are right. I should do my own research. Like I said because they are illegal in my country and there is no way for me to obtain them. Unless I travel to South America or any other place where some psychedelics are legal .and I don't have the luxury to do that either in the meantime.

I guess you mean Syrian rue ? Yes it's legal here . I never heard of it before . And I googled it and found it can cause hallucinations. So I will be experimenting with it along with Nutmeg. Thanks for the suggestion.

They are legal. Do they work though ? Are they worth trying? And how exactly can I use them to grow mushrooms?

Is it consumed by eating ? Can it be poisoning in high doses ? Is it guaranteed to cause similar effects of psychedelics? And why you don't recommend it ?

@acidgoofy did it cause any psychedelic-like effects on you ? Or none at all ?

Disclaimer : Don't Read if you have emotional sensitivity or you get easily traumatized. What are you afraid of? I'm gonna expose and explore some of your and my deepest fears.. Full on exposure.. Full nude.. No cosmetics.. Are you afraid from the idea of falling forever.. An endless free fall? Imagine falling down in an endless spiral with no bottom forever.. Or maybe you are afraid from the idea of being stuck inside a room with no doors.. Just four walls.. You stuck between four walls.. For eternity? What about the idea of these four walls starting to get tighter and tighter untill they crush your body into pieces? But then you will die.. That might be a refuge.. How about the four walls getting so tight just enough to make you almost crushed.. But not fully yet.. Such that you can't move and will be stuck like that... Forever? How about being conscious inside darkness forever? Losing your sight? Are you afraid of going blind? Are you afraid of the idea of hell.. Being stuck inside a lava chamber burning and suffering unimaginable amounts of pain forever? You are afraid of pain basically.. Right? All kinds of pain.. How about all kinds of pain possible all at once for endless time.. Are you afraid of that? As a male..you sure have some castration anxiety no? As a female you are afraid of breast cancer right? You are afraid of infertility right? As a child you are afraid of losing your parents in a car accident no? As a grown up..you are afraid to die alone or to spend your last years with the company of no one? Are you afraid of regret? Of failure ? Of realizing at your death bed that you did it all wrong? That you fucked up big time? And that there is no going back? What else are you afraid of? What if I told you that reality is absolutely infinite and that you wil in fact will experience all of these things inevitably and there is no escape? How does that change your relationship with existence?

Yes "the mind " is a thought. It's not a physical object . Have you ever seen "a mind " before ?

Yes I can relate . It depends on how happy or sad you are . When you are sad you sleep more to escape from facing reality .and when you feel happy like when you fall in love with someone or win the lottery or somethin' ..you find it difficult to fall asleep .but I think it would be nice if we can appreciate sleep regardless of our mood swings. I love to sleep. I am terrible at it. I have had insomnia since I was a little boy. Sleepless nights run in my family. While night sleeping has always been a challenge and a full night of uninterrupted sleep something I long for and seldom experience ..I am particularly gifted at taking naps. I used to think sleep was a waste of time and now believe it's one of the ingredients of a happy life. An afternoon spent napping is to me an afternoon well spent. P.S good to see you

It's literally the highest form of joy possible. To exist as pure void .no colors ,no sounds, no perceptions of any kind . Just empty dark silent nothingness. Sleep takes you home to your true nature effortlessly. If it wasn't just for the dreams that we don't know where and how the fuck they occur ..sleep would be my favourite activity in this whole world . I know I'm just being silly lol. Any other sleep lovers here ? ?

Agreed . I believe that if i keep doing it, i will get used to it and have fun but i then feel awesome from approaching instead of anxious.i need to step up to grow. So I step up and it is why I approach extremely attractive girls because I am pushing myself and go into situations and doing what most fear doing/saying because they worry if they offend girl etc. There will come a time when i won’t give a shit anymore. There will be a time i have dated so many extremely attractive girls and even get sick of them. I will find they are predictable, boring and scared, insecure than i can even imagine with all their facade and put on confidence.

I'm doing a one girl per day challenge since late April. I talk to one girl at least every single day .I usually do it in malls and restaurants. I find a girl that catches my attention and then I rush to talk to her .my opening is always" hey ,I saw you passing by and I think you are beautiful ". The usual response I get is "thanks ". But I have a problem..is I quickly run out of things to say ..and I don't know how exactly to guide the conversation towards saying that I like her and I want her to be my girlfriend. Should I even do that In the first date? Or just get her number and go on many dates before explicitly saying that I want her to be my girlfriend? Another problem I have is I always approach girls who are not so attractive..on a scale from 1 to 10..they usually are at 7. When I see a super attractive girl ..like a 9 or even 10 I completely lose all my confidence and drive to go talk to her .its like she will never be my girlfriend. I'm not worthy of dating such a high quality girl (appearance wise). I'm left completely speechless when I see a super hot girl and I don't even try to approach. Then I go to home and jerk off thinking about her . So I want to know two things ... 1. When and how to start talking to a girl about being my girlfriend? 2. How to have the balls to go talk to a 10 ? Thanks .

OK. I think i get it . Walk up, ask her, walk away or move forward. Life is short and there are plenty of women, even women hotter than the one i want to approach. I should Truly believe in myself that she is lucky to have me..not the other way around . I have a lot to offer and if she doesn't see that then she it's her loss. I should believe that inside, then my outward confidence will be all i need. But I always have fear. I approach many girls and have been doing so for months now. The fear doesn’t go away. What happens is it doesn't stop and I'm not able to calm my nerves down and enjoy the process. I cannot remove fear because my brain's primary function is to detect threat, danger and so depending on my experience the fear will be big or it will be small . Any tips on how to overcome fear of rejection which is a very big obstacle for me? For example women fear approaching men due to the invention of modesty, invention of shame and this the shame on sexuality. Women do not approach men because they believe in the social myths and traditions that men are suppose to chase women.

Good one . I will try this out today .I'm going out to a mall this evening .I hope I don't come off as a simp .thanks Leo. One last point...many times I’ve walked up to a girl who didn’t even notice me, who looked all pretty but also all grumpy. There sometimes happens this magical moment when you see a big smile appear out of nowhere on her face, just because i walked to her and said “Hey, I saw you and I thought you were cute so I wanted to say hi…”. She didn’t notice me, and I gave her the chance to get to know me. is smiling a signal that she feel comfortable being approached by me and she doesn't find me annoying, creepy or unattractive?

Is it important to strategise in most cases, before approaching? Like should I memorize specific lines so that I will be ready to any twists and turns during the conversation with a girl? I'm asking this because I'm failing in speaking off the cufIf. I just don't know what the fuck to say besides "I like your dress " "I like your eyes ""I think you are beautiful, "etc. I'm always atoo worried about the aftermath and start out on a super defensive note, i don't come across as a friendly guy. And i know that women like men who are easy to hang out with and who can talk about random things with as much ease as they would with their guy friends.

I believe it is a very valid philosophical stand but it will never be the norm. I've had ideas about reproduction and not bringing new lives into this world for almost 3 years now,and I was almost always ridiculed for that by my friends and family. I didn't know back then that philosophers old and new have spoken along the same lines. Now having read the works of Schopenhauer,Cioran and Benatar I'm more than convinced that I am right,but I also do not want to impose this view on anyone else. If someone wants to bring a child into this bleak and mostly hopeless world,they should do it and let their most prized creation suffer. Even Jesus could not avoid the excruciating misery of this world so a mere mortal will most certainly face very serious hardships here. I also do not believe that it is right for parents to bring an entity to life to bear the weight of their dreams and expectations.The three main reasons that people given in justification or necessity of reproduction are; 1 .It is the norm 2 .The child will further the family lineage 3.The child will support the parents when they are old. All three according to me are thoroughly ignorant and very selfish. If they're doing it because it is the norm, they're sheep, with no brains or reasoning of their own.. if they're doing it to further the family lineage, then they're narcissists..and if they're doing it so that the child may support them when they get old,then they're highly self-centered. What are your thoughts on antinatalism ? Is it ethical to bring a human being into this life without his/her permission to experience the inevitable suffering that is baked into the fabric of our existence?

No I am not advocating war or fear mongering . Just accepting the truth.Man is a war-like species that ALWAYS finds a reason for war. Let's go back five, six thousand years and cover history since biblical times. War, war, and more war ...Supposedly in the name of God. I will not blame it all on religion, that is only one reason .Point is there is always a reason .Man reasons for and contrives reasons for war. Many wars, including current wars, are held in the Middle East in the name of God .But then you have other wars, WWI, WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam War, etc. not held in the Middle East and not having anything to do with religion or God. Apparently war pays more than it costs . Why we have a huge for profit arms and war industry. So let's be honest and face the truth and decide ahead of time where they should stage the next war. Any suggestions Can you think of a new place to stage a war .We are probably not ready to have a space war, so pick some region of the planet where war can be most beneficial .political causes have become redundant and stupid .Let's make war pay How about, let's say a war between India and China to reduce World population . We can call it the Indo-Chinese War of 2022 Better still since we are supposedly a civilized species, why pick on any group of peoples or any particular nations. Why not have a lottery, which you can also bet on, and the nations that win can immediately start a war with each other ? So are we ready people, ready to show any alien species that may be watching us, that Man is indeed a civilized species and is quite democratic in choosing its peoples and zones for war.

Thanks Leo for the response . I will try to apply your advice . But shouldn't I just stay away from 10s for now and go for mediocre girls at first because I'm still a newbie? And then when I get good with less attractive girls ,I can proceed to approach the hottest ones ? Another problem I have In short, its because im desperate. And very shy and introverted. So I have to act out being confident and alpha .Those who are desperate do crazy, unwise things in order to get her. If ihave to become something I'm not in order to impress someone, they aren't interested in me anyway.

Is human potential really limitless? Can we travel through space and visit another galaxies and maybe find aliens or intelligent creatures out there ? I'm sorry, I don't really know much about it, but here is what I think. I think humans can be limitless if they believe they are. There was a moment when we thought chatting with people far away is a joke. Now we all got phones. There was a moment when we thought flying is against the Laws of gravity. Now we can ride on an airplane. I don't think it is a good idea to say science researches are untrue. The tricky thing is, they might have missed out some possibilities. In the days when the Laws of gravity was published, saying that people can fly would be ridiculous. Have people in those days consider that planes can be made? Science is indeed subjected to change, which already can change human limits. I think the thing that greatly limits people is the lack of faith. Since God is limitless and so he could make us limitless, we could be limitless! I believe if that's God's will and we believe that God is on our side, we are limitless. I guess this is part of what we called 'faith'. Even if you don't talk about it religiously, believing that we are limitless might make us limitless. I guess this is what people call is faith. Faith that we know we can make it. This perhaps gives us a chance to be limitless.
