I use Google Voice typing all the time. I used it to write my book.

@UlaxThat's so inefficient! What's way better is to just create a Tulpa of Leo such that Leo is present in your everyday consciousness at all times.

I've been spending countless hours reading through this thread. Currently I'm reading page 2. I've dissected Leo's lecture on the topic, and I have read Cutler's book. I will let you know if I have any questions, but I am curious to know what your research process looks like, as you seem to be pretty good at pulling sources together. Also, how much time do you think you've spend researching?

That's wild

(Inb4 just telling me to just do more approaches.) The worst part about game is not during, but the day after when my mind starts to reflect and it starts to become an echo chamber of the worst sets. Sets where I get bullied, sets where women are just being immature with the way they reject me, etc. As time goes on, I naturally recover, but I honestly would like to recover within a couple minutes rather than having it distract me from my work for the entire next day. What are your best techniques to process these experiences and quickly move on? Context I've overcome a lot of hurdles as of recent. I had some really bad nights, but I chose to keep going and do more approaches. I will not stop approaching because I know I am headed on a trajectory of personal development and growth. Last night I managed to do 42 approaches towards women in 27 sets with women in it (so I would run approaches on multiple women in a group for example. I don't count approaches to just men.) No matter how tough it is, I won't tap out. I am aware of the learning curve of pickup being very high, very brutal and extremely emotionally difficult. Sure, I have had thoughts of quitting, but I wouldn't be able to become the teacher people need me to be if I back down, so I wont. At this point, I'm getting pretty good at just surrendering to the gauntlet of approaching. Most of these problems out here are just solved by doing more approaches as Leo says. Additional Ruminations and Questions Leo says: "Stick it out to the end of the night" I do not see the practicality of staying in the last hour of the club when I have not even yet built the skill of doing solid approaches, building rapport, and establishing premise. Until I learn how to hold a good set on a consistent basis, I see no need to stay out in the last hour. Plus, in the last hour, it gets incredibly aggressive and most people already have paired up. Leo Says: "Clear Your Mind As You Approach" What do you mean by "clearing your mind", I need to hold at least set of openers in my mind, I'll then say the opener that holds the most congruence, I will then immediately clear my mind such that I can calibrate to the conversation. How do you find better wings? Game global is kind of a crap source for my city. At this point, I feel like I need to just focus on my life purpose so that I can earn the money to move to Vegas or something where the whole nightlife is better. Yet at the same time, I still see it as practical to still do game in the city I'm in in the mean time. Since game takes a long time to develop, I don't see it as wise to shelf doing game for a while. Yet at the same time, survival is knocking at the door, and waking up at 5AM would be a whole lot better than waking up at 10AM to facilitate a pickup lifestyle. (I am unemployed ATM, so I do have my time to myself, but if I ever need to run to the store or something before it closes, I will have to interrupt my routines throughout my day.) I thought about just looking at the guys in the club that have game and then turning them into my clubbing buddies, but I have an extremely tough time to build rapport with these people that appear to be "high value men" that have good game. If I plan to go down that road more, I need to shift my approach, still have to figure this out. I notice that I avoid physical escalation because I am aware that my hands are always cold as fuck. My body in general seems to operate at a colder temperature on the surface of my skin. I tried to dance to warm my body up, which works, but I would need to to that periodically throughout the night. I am considering using a heat pack in my back pocket to warm my hands up lmao. I am always holding water because otherwise my throat would get dry as fuck where it's rough to speak because it's such a loud club that I go to. That also makes one of my hands tied and also makes it cold lol. Does holding that water sub communicate an unwanted perception of me being sober? Is holding an object holding be back from physical escalation? (I don't think so) I'm noticing that I have siloed my life so much that I find it hard to talk to people outside my few niche interests. I need to consume more popular media in the social matrix to be able to create conversations that people can relate to more. I need to find great sources of news/tabloids to help facilitate this. It's such a pain in the ass to have to carry 100% of the conversation, for men AND women, but that just be how it is. When I do the random sentence string practice routine (From the video how to be funny), I find that all of my sentence strings start to silo around my own life, self improvement, and empowering self talk. Which makes me think that I'm doing the practice routine incorrectly. Where a better approach to that exercise would be to try to make it as random as possible such that you train your mind to free-associate random topics. Thoughts on that?

Out of approximately 200 approaches I got bullied once. Don't worry, it's not very common. It just is a pain in the ass to shake off because it is a hot button for me because of a trauma for being bullied my entire life. Perhaps it's an opportunity to do some shadow work on, and that girl just created the perfect experience to reflect on. The energy of the set triggered me, and I should have set a quick boundary and left before it went super down hill. Like I had another set that night where a girl straight up said I'm too short for her, and I feel no emotional negativity to that because of how secure I am about that part of myself. (I'm 5'3") I worried that when I worded it like that it would give off that kind of vibe. This is not how I frame it. I do not have a negative self talk like this. Just had it hit me a little harder that day because of a trauma button and also I just had my employment plans uprooted so I don't know where my next income source is from. So I was a less grounded at the time. As I write this, I am a lot more grounded as I had a few days to process it and sleeping on it desensitizes it. Plus doing HIT workouts desensitizing it helps plenty. Yeah I'm noticing that I need to first feel the sting of a negative experience before I learn how to react to it. I am not one to think fast in the moment. As beneficial as going to a club on a psychedelic seems, I think that any negative blowouts will massively throw the entire trip. Even a micro dose. I think it would be a very bad idea for me to do psychedelics in the club. And MDMA I have very little interest in doing. Only curious in doing MDMA in combination with DMT. I'm entertaining the idea to transition fully into day game for the next while. As my productivity would massively benefit from an earlier sleep schedule. According to my new wing, the malls are packed with hot girls at certain times. I always appreciate your insight Leo, thank you. I appreciate the idea of saying it 20-50 times out loud, makes total sense. Every set really do be a lesson out here. I think focusing more on acceptance of what happened will help me a lot. I notice that I need to pay attention more to accepting what happened, processing the emotion, use my notes/learnings from "How to forgive anyone who hurt you" video if required, and also just try to remain more objective and curious about what happened, what could be done differently, and move on.

Hey guys, I would like to share with you one of the BEST techniques I have found for controlling my phone addiction: BUYING A SECOND PHONE! Super duper counterintuitive! Since buying my second phone, I have found that my addiction to YouTube has completely VANISHED overnight! I still like to use YouTube to access Leo's videos and whatnot, just having it on the main phone is not good. Having YouTube on my main phone is the equivalent to keeping a crack pipe that's ready to smoke in my pocket at all times. I inevitably always waste at least an hour when YouTube is on my main phone. This is because I would use YouTube a lot for music and podcasts, and now I just use Spotify. Spotify is way less distracting than YouTube with their clickbait thumbnails and #shorts. Buy yourself one of those refurbished phones on Amazon, and you'll be happy with the price and the performance you will get. On your main phone, delete all the apps that distract you. For me the big one was YouTube. But don't stop there, nuke all the apps that distract you like crazy. Then, dedicate your second phone as your “distraction phone”. This is where you can put all your distracting apps. Then, set rules as to where your distraction phone is allowed to be located. You want to have your distraction phone to be restricted from the areas that create the highest distraction opportunities. For example, my distraction phone is not allowed to be in my office, my bedroom, my bathroom or at the dinner table. Create habits for you to turn off your distraction phone during certain hours. I'll usually also create habits of turning off my main phone just so no one can contact me while I'm working in the morning. Also keep your main phone on "do not disturb" for the first 12 hours of your waketime. Hope this helps!

lolwhat

Where can I find more information about this? @Leo Gura Should one do the same with 5MEO DMT, 5MEO MALT?, MDMA?

Holy fuck guys I'm killing myself laughing You're totally right, it is MDMA. I fucked up lmao. Like I said, I haven't tested them yet so I haven't even identified which one was which cause I ordered them at the same time lmfao. HERE'S my DMT. @Girzo @acidgoofy @Leo Gura @Juan @thepixelmonk @Chives99

Still gotta test my DMT, but how does it look?

Can relate. Wanted to one time Stab myself with thumbtacks to inquire into the nature of pain. Another time I had this idea to brand myself with a burn as a symbol of commitment to my higher ideals. And the pain in the subsequent days will be a constant reminder to do better. One time there was the freedom convoy rioting outside of of nowhere at the peak of my highest LSD trip. Another time I was on LSD, I had a annoying guy that wouldn't stop texting me about a fucking $10 purchase. Pissed me the fuck off! Another time I was so high on mushrooms that I couldn't even use my phone and me and my mom that was also high as fuck were near an area with a very high chance of seeing a bear. Was also in the blistering heat. Shit was a fucking mission. Other times I had anxiety attacks basically every day for a month.

LMAO all my wings suck ass and they're honestly a hindrance to my game. I do better when I just start approaching alone.

This is one of my biggest goals with Awakening. That and realizing I'm immortal.

Guys, what does the Brita System Do?

It's better than google.

@Leo Gura there's no way you've done that, right?

I realize that I do not have an explicit enough definition of self Deception to identify my own self Deceptions. This has been a problem for me. As I would like to learn how to derive my own list of discovered self deceptions. Any pointers guys?

This needs to become a pinned post.

How does one build awareness around the moments they have negative self talk? I am having a very hard time finding any negative self talk in my direct experience, either my awareness is too sloppy or I don't have it. What are the best ways to install a new operating system of self talk? Great book suggestions are massively appreciated here.

Kambo is definetly on my to do list.

Noted.

How many days do you do the protocol?

@Leo Gura @Alex_R @Osaid @Sincerity @BlessedLion@D2sage You guys might like this report as well. Some similar juicy insights.

January 3rd 2023 Core Intention: What is Consciousness? Later intention: How do I optimize what action I'm doing such that I'm taking the right action every single time? How do I prioritize my actions such that I am doing the best thing in every single moment? >I've found that setting 2 intentions is a really good way to utilize the different states of consciousness you experience on your trips. The First Intention is the deep metaphysical truth you are trying to access that is only accessible when you are at the peak of a psychedelic trip. The Second intention is when you're still pretty high, where your creativity is high and you are still getting massively bombarded with one insight after another. This is where you can utilize this state of consciousness for working out very practical matters towards your life purpose. Dose: 5g = (1.49g Mazatapec + 3.52g Amazonian) (Grinded up into powder. Lemon Tek Tea for 69 minutes) I set an explicit time to start the trip. As that cut down procrastination time. Taken at 12:14PM I'm ready to go to war. >Every 5g trip is brutal Every time I go into these trips, it's a suicide mission. I'm like the joker jumping into a bottomless pit of monsters and demons with a gun pointed at my head and bombs strapped to my chest. NOOB psychonaughts listen to music when they're tripping. As you gain strength, you will learn to trip without any music. 15 minutes in... Starting to get really fuckin high while I'm on the the toilet lol. I always get the nervous shits before I blast off into my trips. Noticing visuals in the floor Amazonian mushrooms kick in way harder and way faster. I get a different flavor of visuals with every single strain. These are of course way more pronounced on the higher doses. Getting visuals of points in my visual field squeezing. For about the past 8 minutes I've noticed that I've been shivering a lot. Amazonian strain makes me shiver like crazy on the comeup. Insights, Observations and Musings Psych yourself out to learn better. Work out like crazy says that you're ready to learn WHAT THE FUCK the book is ready to tell to you. Do several burpees throughout the day to have your consciousnesses perpetually ZONKED and ready to get the knowledge in the book that you are studying. Have your state of consciousness zonked all the time by doing push-ups and burpees throughout the entire day. The best trips are always the hardest ones... Because that is where you grow the most. This is where the insights you get are hard-won. I continue to think about my death to release my fear that I was experiencing. I was naturally drawn to contemplate and think about my death. So I did. Fast forward to me lying down in my bed... For about 10 minutes I was in a daze thinking and visualizing about war. I was started to get convinced that Putin was going to come and kill me. After I snapped out of it, I was just in awe and went: "Wow, now THAT'S the power of consciousness!" The intelligence that we are creating is a power we can't stop. The evolution of God manifesting its physical expression of divine intelligence is a force we cannot stop. It's an overwhelming force. The universe will continue to become more and more interconnected and intelligent. When you think about how you are not separate from your environment, you start to realize just how much you are controlled by it. You are literally controlled by the physical objects in your environment. Objects are commanding you to live exactly how you are. All figments of consciousness is commanding you to be exactly the way you are. And you are a part of it. You are conforming to your environment in the same way that the shape of your toes conform to the shape of the shoes you wear. The ultimate accountability Partner: Hire an assassin to kill you in a year from now if you are a loser. The more I reflect, the more I notice that life is put together as a perfect poem just for you. I love being free. I am a Free spirit. When you're inspired by Death you will command yourself to live the best life possible. This is why we need to constantly reconnect with the reality of our mortality. God's Absolute Authority God needs no reason to decide what is sexy or not. When you have the authority, you can just decide, and then that's it. No need for a reason behind it. It just is. As god, I command what exists and what doesn't. When you made a decision, you don't need any explanation behind it because you're God. > I am still aware that I don't have any actual God Realization yet. Intelligence of God's Plan God has so much fucking intelligence he's planning your entire life. That mother fucker is planning your entire life to be fucking beautiful. God is PLANNING your life to be beautiful. Why the fuck don't you see that? When you do see that, you need to show your respect for him with every fucking moment, through your actions! God is giving you The Ultimate Gift by designing your life perfectly for you. God is saying: "You are the most intelligent motherfucker on the planet. Just you wait. I'm going to make a genius out of you. It's my master plan." God is TELLING ME how to be intelligent today! There are intelligent motherfuckers walking amongst me. Writing shit down forces you to explicitize it. That's the structure of writing. Structure commands you to have form. Imagine every single Concept in your mind as a person that perfectly embodies that concept. e.g. "Structure" is a person. Construct your entire mind as an army of different people. Design a tribe of people in your mind that perfectly defines every single concept in your mind. You can go and talk to these people in your mind to contemplate specifically about an idea. For example: Go and check up on the person that is "confidence". Have Concepts in your mind as different people. Create Tulpas that your can ask for knowledge on that concept. When I am Contemplating that concept, I am having a personal conversation with the person that is the full embodiment of that concept. Death is to bury you with diamonds. You should be proud to die when your day comes, as it is the capstone of all of your proud accomplishments of all the life you lived. Be proud to die one day. That will be the mark of your greatest achievement of living the life of a winner. Dying is just a temporary state of consciousness. God will help you die when it's your time. God will put you in a stage of consciousness to help you die when it's your time to die. How To Improve Yourself The Fastest: When it comes to self-improvement, there is so much shit to do, the question becomes, "Where do I start to give me the most leverage?" Key Insight: Upgrade your Hardware as fast as possible. Getting your mind right. Study Metaphysics, Epistemology and consciousness to give yourself a strong foundation for your understanding to be built upon. Study the mind Learn how to think. (Leo I really could use that video right about now. We all need it! What do you mean it is too perfect?) Learn how to use your thoughts. Give yourself tons of tools and models to put on several lenses of looking reality through Positive self talk. Train this. Learn how to Contemplate from scratch and derive knowledge for yourself. In other words, learn REAL PHILOSOPHY, as Leo explains it in his video. Rid yourself of Ideologies and Paradigm locks. Rid every single assumption about reality that your mind is attached to. Utilize psychedelics to have Psychedelic breakthroughs. Do Shadow Work - - Ridding all of the traumas that create a cloud of doom and gloom in your every day state of consciousness. Getting the machine of your body running properly Nutrition with your body Eating the proper Foods to get the nutrition you need avoid brain fog, among other problems. Supplementation can not replace a good diet. Heavy Metal detox. Sleep - You're fucked if you cannot give your body enough sleep. Sleep is the bedrock of a solid life. Exercise - You need to jumpstart the biological processes in your body to get everything working at an optimal level. Work out hard several times throughout the day, as then you will always be operating at a higher level. Wes Watson will have routines where he will do 60 minutes of cognitively demanding tasks, 40 minutes of monotonous tasks, and 20 minutes of working out HARD! That is a structure put in place to make sure you're running your hardware at an optimal capacity. Create systems that will facilitate your growth Create protocols and contingencies for when you start to backslide Being able to identify the expansion phase and contraction phase. Have a commonplace book Take tons of notes on everything. Document your behaviours. Study deeply on all the topics you need to understand. Create Self-Reflection Systems Journaling Vlogging Writing down and Dumping Your Thoughts Self-Reflection In your mind, See Leo Guras Video on Self Reflection, Contemplation, How to Do Real philosophy Talk To Other People, in person or on the Phone Etc. Write Manifestos and take on each endeavor as its own Project. This way you are cultivating the maximum amount of intent. Schedule in and plan everything like crazy. Schedule in an uncomfortable amount of structure to get as much done as possible. The more intelligently you try to keep your schedule FILLED, the more productive you'll be. Routines Routinely ZONK yourself into more powerful states of consciousness. Constantly put yourself into positive states of mind of gratitude where negativity is absent. Intense workouts several times throughout the day. Ice baths. Cold showers. Meditation. Kriya Yoga. Gratitude Practices within all these emotionally difficult tasks. Learn Positive self talk. Explicitize routines to the point where a single decision lasts way longer. Wear the same outfit. Eat the same breakfast. Have the same Morning Routine. Have the same Bedtime Routine. Focus on the activities that control your actions and direct experience the most. Two Great Ways to Prevent Shroom Hangovers As you do psychedelics more often, you train your brain to handle it better which leads to less hangovers. Hydrate like crazy. If you're not peeing every 10-20 minutes, you're not drinking enough. You should be drinking at a rate where the headache you feel afterwards never occurs. Put salt, lemon juice and a bit of sugar to supplement electrolytes. Eat salty chips to make you go pee less often. Random Thoughts Put Here Experience teaches people so much. It's the ultimate teacher. This is why an enlightenment intensive or a seminar can be the catalyst experience you needed. Imagine hiring David Goggins for a month and the experience that it would give you. You would learn so much! Study the structure of language more. You have to selflessly surrender your perspective to come to an agreement. Tattoos are a beautiful way to express your devotion to living a better life if you frame it that way. If you get a tattoo under the context that you got it as a symbol of living a better life, this can be a great catalyst of a totem. Enlightenment is way better than you can imagine. If you can imagine "a size" to enlightenment. God has made it bigger. When setting boundaries You need to have the courage to be an asshole to demand people to be better. For those that are struggling to find reasons to stay alive. I RESPECT you for a living another day. Post Trip Report Very crazy trip, but when I just lean in, I generate so many amazing insights.
