I wouldn’t say less spiritual but integrity does apply to sexuality. Certain sexual acts are carried out often times because of certain beliefs people hold. I don’t think there is anything inherently wrong with DP or gangbangs in and of itself, but a lot of it takes place from a lack of integrity and dishonesty and exploitation.

Not acting / living with integrity makes you less conscious. are you acting out of integrity with your internet usage? Using the internet doesn’t inherently make you less conscious.

I can relate To this. First off you have to return to your true value and connection to higher power / spirit. Live with integrity and be truthful and don’t align with lies. A person cannot give you love. Love is not a commodity. A person cannot give you value. You are already valuable. This is crucial when it comes to going into a relationship and especially through life. Love with integrity. People do not give you love. You choose to create a feeling / state within and your partner mirrors this back to you by doing the same. This is foundational in this discussion. Secondly in society today and throughout time there have been expectations for certain financial abilities placed on the man. This is just a preference and is not required for two people to create love in a relationship. But I do think that since economics are changing faster than societal belief so men who are having problems keeping up with the economy are facing issues when it comes to finding a partner that does not believe what society believes about men and money. It raises some questions for me too about relationships because you may think someone is only with you because of your money rather than your uniqueness. I think this is where it’s important to return back to the first point. If you are right within yourself you will be guided where you need to be and be more likely to find a woman who wants to be with you more so than with your money. After all you only need one woman so if 99 what your money and 1 doesn’t you are fine. I do not deny money is important. It is for stability’. But it has to come with a balance and I would invite people to be open to possibilities besides BUT including money. Money problems are rarely actually problems about money but deeper issues about belief in oneself and one’s abilities. What if you have exactly what you need whenever you need it to do what needs to be done in any given moment ?

I don’t understand the obsession this forum has with this guy and why it seems like some expectations are placed on him that don’t belong. He’s just a guy running a huge YouTube channel. His channel isn’t really art and it’s soulless content for the most part, I don’t expect perfect integrity from him but I’m also not fooling myself thinking he’s a saint when he builds houses in Africa or whatever. He’s a typical late stage capitalist YouTuber with philanthropic elements to his content. I’ve seen a few videos his and they are fun but I don’t really look for or expect anything valuable from him.

I mean if it’s just your typical condescending vibe where you think because you tripped a bunch and connected to god, whatever words you want to use for that, and you’re just going to go in and have some sort of debate where you think you know more than him about what is true because you’ve changed your state more often using dmt, then no, but if you actually want to have a discussion where you want to learn something from him and vice versa then maybe it could be interesting.

I have no clue. I think this needs to just run its course. Some years from now we will look back and taken the parts of it that work and left behind that which hasn’t. I think society will slowly realize how it isn’t helping.

The thing is people want to split hairs and just let their mind run wild with labels and frankly it is exhausting and if anything society needs to stop going into this stuff. It’s the reason why LGBTQ keeps getting longer and longer. It’s confusing mentally ill teenagers and there is a much more natural and simple way to look at this.

Well this calmed my nerves a bit. I have to get mine out and I think it may be a bit complicated. So I may have this and it doesn’t sound too uncomfortable.

Don’t think about chances and possibilities. Let nature / reality decide that. All you have to do is clear anything in your way stopping you from living up to your highest potential. Examine your beliefs. What do you believe about yourself?

our society is way too obsessed with placing labels on sexuality these days. We have various energies and reasons for our attraction. Our attraction is heavily shaped by our beliefs. Many of us here are straight but not attracted to every woman right? Even of all the women we find conventionally beautiful there is maybe even a smaller subset of those we would actually enjoy enough to fall in love with them. So I think that sexuality labels are silly. I physically prefer women bodies and my beliefs have also shaped the dynamic around how I interact with women and the relationships I have with them. I don’t want to try and put too much of a label on that. But do I think all people are bi sexual and this label is right to describe them? No I don’t believe this. Some people are and you may see a trait that is attractive to you in the opposite sex but I reject this label on me and don’t identity as that. I do not have desire at this time to experience sex with another male body.

I would say life pushed me to changed. All of life is ever changing and evolving. And it was simply just a matter of choice. I was going through a break up and at the time I was choosing to be a victim and go in circles. It took time, help and a tremendous amount of self honesty. I embrace a simple path. I celebrate the unknown and uncertainty of life. These are good things filled with possibilities for further transformation, a canvas to create on. I'm very careful with assuming and believing one system of thought. What if I keep my mind open and balanced and I can learn something from everyone? The language we use is very powerful. What vocabulary do you use? Are you being authentic when in your relationships, in your speech, in your action. The two biggest realizations for me were becoming conscious enough that I create my emotions and my life, through the beliefs I hold and the actions I take from those beliefs. I am not at the mercy of everything and for me I believe the middle path is for me where I live as a spiritual being but also embrace humanity. I love my life like this. I am responsible for my life, there is no way of getting out of this responsiblity. I am inherently valuable and already have everything I need within, am whole and complete in every moment. I allow it to be moment to moment that I am this wholeness and live the life I desire in flow. I am gentle with myself when I choose to look through what people here call the ego, and being honest and truthful is how I try to live my life always.

I know two project managers. And it can be an incredibly stressful job depending largely on your boss and work environment, like many other professions. One of them right now is actively applying everywhere to get out of it. You will be talking to a ton of people and constantly attending meetings and juggling tons of different tasks. If you can keep up with lots of stuff at once and act as a sort of operator, then you will do well. Try to get one at a well known company instead of a start up because start ups can have some really nasty people working in them.

@The Caretaker well are we in agreement you are creating the fear? If we are then why not choose to stop it, and instead create another emotion that will help you in this situation more?

The thing is conversations like this get muddied as everyone brings their beliefs and viewpoints I do agree we should follow our own inner guidance and intuition however. I think keeping one’s mind clean so you can stay in touch with this inner guidance is absolutely important.

You choose not to see value in this while others do. To them you sitting around jerking off watching actualized videos and popping shrooms looks like a total waste of time when you could be out there falling in love and living life and creating something life changing like a family. You see? It’s what you choose to value and I see value in both a less involved life and one that’s very involved. I personally even prefer the latter. I would love to start a family one day and build up this inner stability to do so. But it’s just what’s authentic and right for you and getting quiet enough to get into flow. Now I do agree many people do have kids more so out of reaction than conscious planning. Sex drive can be very strong and when two people meet who especially have a lot of passion, it’s normal to make the mistake of thinking you can get out of being responsible and just start going crazy with those cream-pies without any thought of the consequences. Been there, done that. So I think as clique as this sounds it’s always about balance and that’s the way to live a really healthy life. I would try to make this decision of having kids from a place of balance instead of a place of passion.

I think your mind is bossing you around, and if you weren’t looking through this belief you would be looking through something else that is limiting your social interaction. Why do you believe having small talk means you are betraying your authentic self? I can relate that sometimes it is difficult to find people to talk to on topics we prefer like what you listed. But why then do you believe people have nothing else to offer in conversation? Have you considered there is maybe a larger life lesson here to learn if you put aside your judgement and made something wonderful out of these social opportunities you have even if the topic of discussion isn’t to your preference? I can actually relate a lot to what you are saying since it sounds very much like what I used to say. When you are spiritually aligned, even people and places that may not be at the top of our preference list hold opportunity in them when we recognize the unknown and uncertainty of reality. What if you went into these situations with an open mind and realized behind this small talk you don’t like lies invaluable lessons? i do believe honoring our inner guidance is crucial so definitely continue to stay in touch with that inner stillness, I would invite you to also perhaps look at that your belief system may be limiting you here and that some of this could be self imposed limitations that your authentic self actually wants you to address. It can be a bit tricky to discern sometimes our own authentic preferences and guidance meeting the realities of life but with practice it’s definitely possible.

Yes, all the time. I personally don’t really believe in coincidences. I see stuff like this happening as sort of guidance and signs I’m expanding my consciousness and there is information coming to me to further learn about life. Everything is in a constant state of change and I see every event that happens outside me as a sort of thing to make something from. In your case maybe this is helping you become more aware? To value who and what we have while it’s here? My ex also would constantly notice time numbers like 11:11, stuff like this. I believe the universe will absolutely talk to you in so many ways if you listen, this is invaluable guidance through life.

Going out and approaching anyway even if you are scared is a good way to move forward, do that, but it glosses over why you were scared in the first place. Something is unresolved there. Ask yourself why you choose to create fear in this situation. Believe it or not there are many people who feel zero fear talking to people at parties, including beautiful women. Why do you choose to be scared though? It is not happening automatically. You are choosing to create that fear but you are not conscious of how or why you are. And there is a reason for it as well. Feelings do not exist in a vacuum. There is a belief behind the fear. You can push and power through it, that's fine, do that, but don't miss the deeper lesson by only doing that.

you don't need to do too much swapping out. what if your mind naturally heals like a physical cut omn your body if you know how to remove what is impeding this natural development? Does a seed have to consciously swap out stuff to grow into a tree? I believe a human life in many ways is like a seed turning into the tree. You have to water yourself, plant yourself in the right place, take care of yourself, etc. But you din't have to do too much in terms of engineering yourself. If anything you need to reverse engineer all the beliefs that are limiting you from childhood. what does it take to truly change how the psyche operates? Realizing you are the creator, not a victim. This is crucial. You have to realize you are not a victim, you are responsible for your life, you are at the center, not the affect. You need to align with your true value and know aligning with this guides you.

I permanently changed my mind using self inquiry, allowing myself to mature and aligning myself with spirituality / truth. Yes, it is possible to resolve every single issue you have, take responsiblity for your life and create what you desire.

Like Leo said, it's not that complicated. Mushrooms can expand and personify some very dangerous personal beliefs people hold, usually due to unresolved issues from their childhood / trauma, and largely due to their unhealthy psychology and a lack of awareness of their responsiblity for their beliefs, they can look through those beliefs while on shrooms and act very violent. The higher the dose the more intense. It's why I don't believe these substances should be used unsupervised by people with unresolved mental health problems.

Why do you choose to create fear?

I don't know. I don't know what the Tao is.

I read this book back in 2021 and it was very helpful. I would say this form of communication is also the one I try to use with self inquiry.

Yeah probably, I’ve been wanting to clean up my algorithm.
