  1. A lot of my family is totally brainwashed. And they’re very good people, like give-you-the-shirt-off-their-back people. Quite an ample source of depression. They’re convinced that if trump goes to jail then Biden deserves it double. Though luckily it does seem they’re more for desantis/not-trump these days.
  2. Damn! I guess we’ll find out in the next weeks if this is really what’s happening now.
  3. After around a 365 lb Squat, for most people getting even bigger requires some serious programming knowledge, without a coach.
  4. If those other areas, particularly game, are on point, money is not likely to be scarce.
  5. Same outcome. Not putting her on a pedestal, and therefore not prone to being too needy.
  6. It's already well understood why women like bad boys. They view women as below or equal to them. Other guys view women as above or equal to them, the former of which to women is unattractive. Simple as that. However all women want to get a bad boy to grow up and settle down eventually, and fall in love with them and view them as the most beautiful woman on the planet (literally they expect their eventual life partner to find them more attractive than any other woman on earth), so it's not like the game is rigged, it's just nuanced.
  7. It’s crazy how it can be like every time it’s so mind blowing and unforgettable but the mind literally can’t grasp it for shit so when you go back it’s a complete surprise every single time.
  8. Well before age 25. But as far as strength development and growth as a result of strength training, that can persist for 5-25 years once training begins, and around age 28 this capacity for growth begins to slow slightly, though growth can continue quite fast especially if training was just recently started for instance. Perhaps one of the most traversed paths in this space is someone first beginning “indefinitely-consistent” (rather than sporadic) training at 18 years old, and then all the way to 38 years old progressing in muscle mass the whole time in logarithmic fashion. Then slow decline begins ~ age 40. But if one has just started training at age 35 they might even peak at age 45 etc.
  9. What? TMI is a system designed to get you to jhana the quickest. So your question doesn’t make sense. If you can do jhanas without TMI then obviously you don’t need any help anymore. When you experience jhana you’ll know why. It feels like the exact opposite of burning alive.
  10. You must be with effort if the illusion of separation is active (it’s impossible to be without effort in this condition, as it takes subconscious energy to sustain). If it seems like you are ever relaxed completely by your own will, it means some effort is hidden. If you concentrate all that effort into dropping any voluntary stopping OR starting of any action, over time as this is done it is increasingly recognized that everything is automatic, and when the dream of separate will collapses, it clearly was never actually there.
  11. It hits in like 10 seconds vaped and 1-3min intranasal. Comes on extremely hard. Very intense physical sensation almost like you’re carrying the weight of the universe with your being. You feel like 1000x more conscious in like 5 minutes. It’s not a visual substance but often the shapes of the room I’m in can barely be seen because blinding white-clear light is overtaking the visual space. But then it can collapse into impossible to describe states — probably the best way to describe them is they involve a softening or even complete collapse of the imaginary dividing line between separate things/beings/concepts/objects. Ever since 5-MeO-DMT, no other psychedelic has been the same. It’s hard to say what the difference is but it’s basically like they’re all far more likely to feel like 5-MeO-DMT now. (To be clear, it didn’t ruin other psychedelics, it made them stronger.)
  12. It appeared to cure my narcolepsy fwiw. I’ve posted a bunch of stuff on this forum about it so if you search for my guides on it that can point you in the right direction for proper use. Or listen to Leo or Andy Cutler. You can easily fuck it up and give yourself brain damage though so this is no joke. You don’t take it like a supplement, you use it as a medical intervention on yourself in a very precise and diligent manner.
  13. Its anti-andro effects are of no concern for muscle mass etc. Not the same androgen pathway. But are you sure it’s the thing that gave you palpitations? Because that’s one of the only things that helps hair growth besides correcting a micronutrient deficiency if there is one (which there probably isn’t). If you were taking any fish oil or opioids or antidepressants at the time, those are quite prone to causing palpitations.
  14. Same, exactly. The dream ends upon the collapse of the differential between what is longed for and what appears to be, at which point it’s recognized there was never any separation (it was a dream).
  15. Yeah they’re sulfur compounds. DMSA especially makes your urine smell very strongly.
  16. I got brain fog (and rapid heart rate and low blood pressure) almost every time taking fish oil, my entire life — various brands but primarily “Nature Made”. Well… Just switched to “Nordic Naturals” — no brain fog (or any side effects whatsoever) at all! Fwiw.
  17. I always got side effects like dizziness and heart palpitations whenever I took fish oil pretty much my whole life until I started using better (some Canadian) brands. Nordic Naturals gives me no side effects at all. Leads me to think maybe it was the impurities.
  18. Or the attachment/need for something more than the appearance (and therefore truth, because nothing doesn’t lie) of loving relationship (which can involve literally anything including even betrayal or whatever else), can drop instead.
  19. That would be rather suboptimal protein intake, among other things. To the point of potential health consequences.
  20. The a&p is just a name given to a phenomenon that happens in meditation or when attention is very steady and conscious power and discrimination is driven at a high level for some duration. Basically it’s when attention resonates such that the attention isn’t primarily linked with arisings as usual, but rather the attention phase is altered such that the arising and passing of phenomena are perfectly in sync, and so it seems like everything is happening “automatically and at full force” so to speak. That’s basically what it is, though there are endless aspects you could describe about it. Much different concept than mindfulness. Many people cross the a&p on psychedelic come-ups too. Nondual breakthroughs, and especially the realization that you are god actualizing your life, are usually well beyond a&p territory. But the a&p is not a small thing, especially if you’ve just started this whole endeavor. Blows previous psychedelic trips out of the water IF psychedelics haven’t gotten you across the a&p themselves — especially if you’re in jhana as well then it’ll really blow out previous psychedelic experiences, but after that, psychedelics are generally way stronger.
  21. Every other one you listed is actually just fear in a particular configuration. But in the same way, fear is actually just [unconditional love; Truth] in a particular configuration.
