  1. Refresher on the dangers of PUA techniques used on targets
    Refresher on the dangers of PUA techniques used on targets
    You make it sound like I am searching for Instagram attention whores. I don't give a fuck about her Instagram or whatever. A hot girl has high sexual abundance regardless of whether she's on Instagram or not.
    What you call a "pretty girl" could be anything. No way for me to know what you mean. I've seen too many wings gushing over girls I would never sleep with.
    I never said attractiveness is just about looks. It's a holistic equation.
    Yes, to each his own. But if you have refined taste, you better be ready to handle the competition.

    Of course the source is Infinity, and it is such a complete Unity that limitation does not exist there. Limitation only exists within finite dreams, and the finite dreams give contrast to the Infinite, the Unlimited.
    The finite seeks to be Infinite. The Infinite seeks to be finite. And thus reality moves in a circle with no beginning or end.

    I still sense a lack of God-realization in that NDE description. The writer is still not fully owning oneself as God.
    But other than that it's pretty damn accurate.

    Refresher on the dangers of PUA techniques used on targets
    Inspired by Leo’s “smooth approach” comment:
    “A lot of times when I approach a girl these days, she and her friend will say, "Wait a minute, how do I know?" And I will say, "You don't." But it feels to her like I'm her long lost friend because the approach is so smooth.
    If a girl's friend see's me approach her, she will often assume I am her long lost friend. Finally she will ask her girlfriend, "How do you know this guy?" and she will say, "I don't know him." And the friend is like, "What??!" Lol
    You just gotta get smooth at this stuff.”

    In order to resist being played, you have to learn the rules of the game. The article below is for us, girls - stay safe out there!
    “5 Pick-Up Artist Techniques Narcissists, Sociopaths, and Psychopathic Players Use To Unsettle Their Targets
    We all know that narcissistic and sociopathic individuals use specific manipulation tactics to unsettle their victims. But did you know that some of the techniques they use overlap with that of pick-up artists? Not all pick-up artists are narcissists, but many narcissists are natural pick-up artists. For narcissistic manipulators, this type of pick-up artistry comes organically as a result of learning how to con others from an early age: they dont need to pore over books like The Art of Seduction or The Game for hours in order to master the art of mimicking, love-bombing, and devaluing others.
    Many sociopathic predators have been using manipulation their whole lives to get ahead and thus have are far more sophisticated tactics in their arsenal of psychological terrorism. As a result, their scripts are more convincing, especially if they are clever wolves in sheeps clothing. Yet some predators do use similar techniques as pick-up artists as part of their nefarious toolbox. Here are the top five tactics you should look out for, especially if you suspect you may be involved with a player on the narcissistic spectrum:
     
    1. Negging 
    Negging is very similar to the covert put-down or backhanded compliment used by narcissists. A neg is a comment meant to undermine a persons self-confidence so that they are more vulnerable to advances from the perpetrator.
    In the pick-up artist community, negs are used especially when the target is perceived to be more attractive or appealing than the pick-up artist. It allows the pick-up artist to bring down the target a notch or two so that the victim feels compelled to win the predators approval or validation. For example, a male pick-up artist may neg a highly attractive woman by saying something like, If youre lucky, I may even buy you a drink. In this scenario, they know this woman is used to men fawning over her, so they neg her in hopes that she will think hes different and strive to seek his approval.
    While negging certainly doesnt work on everyone, there has been research that indicates that women who have their self-esteem temporarily lowered tend to find a male stranger who approaches them more attractive; both men and women with lowered self-esteem also tend to be compliant and agreeable to the requests of others (Walster, 1965; Gudjonsson and Sigurdsson, 2003).
    Negging can be especially dangerous if youre not aware youre being negged.Researchers believe that if you feel flawed or defective yourself or already struggle with your self-esteem, youre likely to expect less from a potential partner and have a heightened need for acceptance and affection.
    Those with trauma histories or prior relationships with narcissists should always be wary if they are met with these types of comments and resist internalizing them. Instead, they must immediately detach as soon as such a comment is made because its likely such negging will escalate, especially if the manipulator is particularly sadistic and wants to provoke a reaction.
    Remember that these comments are meant to unsettle you for a reason its because the predator in question believes you are above them in some way and wants to take you down. Consider it a compliment that they’re willing to stoop so low to bring you low – albeit, a backhanded one.
    2. Manufacturing Love Triangles and Harem Management
    In his book, The Art of Seduction, Robert Greene suggests that seducers create an aura of desirability by pretending they have many suitors (whether thats the reality or not). This involves creating a perceived sense of competition so that the target is compelled to win this highly desirable persons attention and affection. As Greene writes:
    “Few are drawn to the person whom others avoid and neglect; people gather around those who have already attracted interest. To draw your victims closer and make them hungry to possess you, you must create an aura of desirabilityof being wanted and courted by many. It will become a point of vanity for them to be the preferred object of your attention, to win you away from a crowd of admirers. Build a reputation that precedes you: If many have succumbed to your charms there must be a reason.”
     
    Narcissists do this as one of their primary tactics in relationships: it is known as triangulation and harem-building. They will often make themselves look like they are highly sought after or have many options. They manufacture love triangles by constantly bringing up their exes, people theyve dated or people who were apparently obsessed with them. They may indulge in stories about how people throw themselves at them or of being hit on excessively. They may do this all while throwing on an air of loyalty and devotion to you to make you feel special even while putting you on edge and making you feel off-balance and uncertain.
    If you find that on a date someone talks at length about their former partners or those they find attractive, orthat they flirt with others around them (such as the waitstaff), consider this a major red flag. These are automatic dealbreakers because such tactics are used to dismantle and unsettle you. Break the triangle by removing yourself out of the equation altogether. A healthy partner will strive to make you feel cherished and secure an unhealthy one will manufacture and feed insecurities. You never have to compete for a worthy partners attention.
     
    3. The 7-Hour Rule, Disclosure and Premature Intimacy
    Narcissistic individuals know that getting a victim to trust them and feel comfortable around them is crucial to getting them invested and vulnerable. Narcissists know how to do this in spades at the beginning of relationships. They assess their victims vulnerabilities and morph into what they may be missing from their lives. In the honeymoon stage of the relationship, they spend a lot of time grooming their victims.
    Pick-up artists and narcissists alike use the excessive amount of time paired with early disclosure of personal details to manufacture a false sense of intimacy which does not exist yet. Such a method has actually been scientifically proven to be effective. Arthur Aron and his fellow researchers (1997) discovered that intimacy between two strangers could be enhanced by having them ask each other a series of personal questions. As the authors of the study note, “One key pattern associated with the development of a close relationship among peers is sustained, escalating, reciprocal, personal self-disclosure.”
    Narcissists use this technique to learn more about their victims weak spots to use against them in the future; pick-up artists use it to escalate sexually. Pick-up artists advocate for what is known as the seven-hour rule regarding the time that should be spent engaging with the target. Coined by pickup artist Mystery, this rule is used to describe the amount of time usually spent with a woman before going for the close in other words, sex.
    If you are on a first date with a narcissistic player or pick-up artist, for example, you may find them prolonging the date and telling you seemingly romantic things like, I dont want this night to end do you? or pushing you to make a second date before youve even finished your first.
    This is a strategic move to heighten the level of investment and increase trust in the victim. It is advised in the PUA community that such time be spent getting to know the target, disclosing things about yourself, and getting the target to disclose about themselves, with topics becoming more and more intimate. That way, the target comes to perceive you as a potential sexual or romantic partner early on.
    To counteract this method, resist disclosing personal details when a date reveals intimate information so prematurely.Remember that anything and everything you tell a narcissistic individual or pick-up artistcan and will be used against you – whether it’s used to get you in their bed or to mess with your head.
     
    4. Emotional Anchoring and Seduction-Withdrawal
    Both pickup artists and psychopaths love to engage in what is known as emotional anchoring to better influence and control you. Anchoring is a neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) term used to describe the process in which an internal response becomes associated with an external or internal trigger. This method allows for that response to be accessed automatically whenever that trigger is present. Similar to conditioning, anchoring is a way for the predator to become associated with certain memories and emotional states in your psyche to evoke a certain response from you.
    The anchors can be anything such as specific gestures, a certain tone of voice, a scent, a physical movement or touch on a specific part of your body, a certain location, a song, a word – anything you can think of is fair game. The most effective anchors are ones that are unique (so that they aren’t indiscriminately triggered), repeated to be associated with a specific emotional state, and are conditioned during times of peak emotional intensity.
    Narcissists use general emotional anchoring and conditioning throughout the abuse cycle to associate pain and pleasure. Pick-upartists primarily use emotional anchors to “retrieve” and make you associate pleasurable states with them. However, bothtypes can engage in seduction-withdrawal and hot-cold behavior to create compulsive “chasing” and behaviors in their victims. Simply put, anchoring is part of the overall conditioning that makes you addicted to a predator.
    Seduction-Withdrawal and Hot/Cold Behavior
    Both pick-up artists and narcissists alike use “seduction-withdrawal” methods to anchor themselves as important in their victim’s minds. A pick-up artist may pair a blissful date with a moment of coldness to create a sense of pain, pleasure, fear,and excitement simultaneously in his (or her) target – knowing that all these emotions are associated with the biochemical addiction involved in love. If his target fears losing his attention, she might work harder to regain it.
    Narcissists engage in hot-and-cold behavior to provoke their victims into chasing them and to reinforce their sense of power and control over their victims. They may put you on a pedestal one moment, only to distance themselves abruptly or compare you unfavorably to someone else the next.
    If you notice that someone you’re dating engages in abrupt hot and cold behavior, withdraw yourself from the relationship. This person will never give you the type of consistency you’re looking for.
    How Narcissists Pair Anchoring with Love-Bombing and Punishment
    Narcissists engage in what is known as love-bombing to create heightened emotional anchors: they shower their targets with excessive praise, flattery,and attention in order to make their victims dependent on them (Archer, 2017). Since victims are conditioned to associate the natural dopamine high they receive when with the narcissist, withdrawal from that relationship is often painful and debilitating.
    Narcissists and sociopaths take anchoring one sadistic step further in the abuse cycle: they can also pair your happy memories and sources of joy (such as news of you receiving a raise or becoming pregnant) with their callous and cruel punishment so that you are even more under their control. They may sabotage holidays or special events to ensure that you never forget them and come to associate these happy moments with the threat of their horrific behavior. They may also access existing anchors from the past, tapping into past emotional states by retriggering a blissful experience or by reenacting a trauma they know youve already experienced.
    Anchoring in Pick-up Artistry
    Pick-up artists can use emotional anchors in specific ways to sexually escalate. They may condition you to associate certain environments, situations, or moods with them. This can be done through grand gestures or subtle moments. For example, a narcissistic pick-up artist might have a habit of spontaneously kissing you in the middle of a public place (whether in a fancy restaurant or the middle of the street) so that you associate those specific locations with them, as well as a mood of romance with being with them.
    These are memories they are purposely implanting so that whenever you pass by that location or watch a romantic film with those same scenarios, you remember them and access the same emotional states of arousal and bliss. Pick-up artists may also add on physical anchoring as a way to make their targets associate their touch, voice, gestures or scent with positive memories and emotional states. For example, a woman might wear a certain delicious smelling perfume that her date comes to associate her with whenever he comes across a similar scent. Or, a man might speak in a deeper voice whenever hes speaking about something sexual, to get a woman to feel aroused even when hes speaking about innocuous things in the same type of voice.
    Become aware of anchors, as they can add to the addictive nature of being with a narcissist. You can unanchor yourself by observing any impulsive behavior youre engaging in around the narcissist. What is the impulsive behavior tied to? What triggers it? For example, you might find that you’re drawn to a certain song which makes you remember the narcissist vividly because you slow-danced to it. You might feel compelled to reach out to the narcissist whenever you hear that song. You can start to “unanchor” the trigger by taking note of it whenever it occurs. You may then decide to establish a new association to this song (doing a new memorable activity preferably when you’re in a positive emotional state which involves the song). Or, you can rework that anchor by repeatedly and actively remembering the narcissist’s true nature rather than the romantic memory whenever you hear it.
    This is a way of anchoring yourself in a way that allows you to move forward. You can then create newer, healthier associations with those same environments, situations, triggers, or moods which have nothing to do with the narcissist.
     
    5. Kino Escalation, Eye Contact, Nice Guys and the Sexually Liberated Guy Act 
    Manipulators only looking for sex are usuallynot going to be direct about their agenda unless its part of a specific script or tactic theyre using to appear dominant. They will instead dress up their intentions: they will pretend theyre interested in getting to know you, even to the point of acting as if they want a relationship or can’t wait to go on more dates with you. Some will even go as far as to degrade other manipulators and players as a form of grandstanding to make you believe theyre one of the good guys.
    This covert nice guy ploy is nothing new: covert narcissists have been using it for decades underhandedly to misrepresent their intentions and character, and to get what they want. Some will even go as far as to talk about how they’re not interested in rushing things physically at all – just to convince you that they are of enough sound character to sleep with.
    Escalation and Testing of Boundaries
    Pick-up artists also use progressive touching or what is known as kino escalation to get physical from the very beginning and gradually escalate sexually with their targets. They use selective touch in order to get their victims more progressively comfortable with them. For example, they may first touch your arm within minutes of meeting you, assess your reaction and comfort level with that, then move onto grazing your knee.
    This is not unlike the ways in which narcissists escalate with their victims by testing both the emotional and physical boundaries of their victims. These types may insert sexual jokes on the first date to assess your reaction or give you a cruel put-down to see whether you’re malleable enough to continue to invest in them. If you notice anything that makes you uncomfortable – whether it’s a condescending or crude behavior, gesture or remark, act accordingly and detach from the person as soon as possible. Do not allow them to continue to “test” you, because they will continue to escalate.
    Predatory or Seductive Eye Contact
    Pick-up artists are also taught the art of maintaining seductive eye contact to convey so-called alpha dominance. Predatory psychopaths and narcissists maintain such eye contact naturally, often without blinking or looking away, and are said to have a reptilian gaze.
    As Dr. Robert Hare, author of Without Conscience, writes:
    Many people find it difficult to deal with intense, emotionless, or predatory stare of the psychopath. Normal people maintain close eye contact with others for a variety of reasons, but the fixated stare of the psychopath is more of a prelude to self-gratification and the exercise of power than simple interest or empathic caringSome people respond to the emotionless stare of the psychopath, with considerable discomfort, almost as if they feel like potential prey in the presence of a predator.
     
    Research has indicated that for one to feel increasingly close with someone, all it takes are a few moments of intense eye contact and the disclosure of personal details (Aron, 1997). Prolonged eye contact also releases oxytocin, the same “love” hormone that bonds mother and child. Pair eye contact with a sociopath’s premature disclosure on dates, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for toxic love.
    The Sexually Liberated Guy Act
    Some pick-up artists (especially more covert predators) also use the Sexually Liberated Guy act to make their targets more psychologically comfortable with the idea of sex. While anyone can be a manipulator, male or female, this particular tactic is primarily used by narcissistic males preying on female victims because it works with gender stereotypes and social norms.
    In this technique, a male pick-up artist wants to seduce a woman into bed. He uses his awareness of what its like to be a woman and the sexual double standards she is likely to have experienced against her to do so.
    Lets say Jerry is trying to woo Natasha into spending the night at his place after a romantic first date. When she appears hesitant, he might say something like, You know, I can see why its hard for a woman to let go sexually. Its sad how society restricts a womans sexuality even these days. In my opinion, a woman should be able to have sex whenever she likes, whether on the first date or the ninth.
    In effect, hes given her permission to tap into her sexual desires by letting her know she wont be shamed if she says yes. This is, of course, assuming that sexual double standards are the only thing holding her back from sleeping with him.
    To counteract this tactic, firmly tell the person that your decision not to sleep with him has nothing to do with sexual double standards and everything to do with your own personal comfort levels. This usually puts the lid on whatever baloney the pick-up artist is attempting to feed you and he will either redirect or leave you alone.”

  4. Criticism of God
    Criticism of God
    Any so-called communication with God is going to be colored and corrupted by the human mind involved in the communication.
    For example, if you were a Southern plantation owner communicating with God in the 1850s, God might tell you that the white race is more intelligent than the black race. Because that's a deep bias of your mind.
    Because YOU ARE GOD!
    If you believe that whites are more intelligent than blacks, you're creating that reality for yourself and even God cannot help you.

    @machiavelli Isn't it obvious to you that before you were born no humans existed? And after you die none will exist?
    It's like you're a child who asks, "Daddy, daddy! What happens to Mario when I turn off the Nintendo? Does he still keep living a good life inside there?"

  6. Day game vs night game: when are women more receptive
    Day game vs night game: when are women more receptive
    @Vrubel Whenever an attractive girl locks and holds eyes with you, you must approach her immediately. That is her telling you: "Come fuck me please."
    If you do those kind of approaches you will see the girl is super-receptive and your job of picking her up becomes almost effortless.
    So don't ever pass those up.
    Stop blinking like a fool, grow some balls and approach.

  7. If we are one,why cant i see and experience what you see and experience?
    If we are one,why cant i see and experience what you see and experience?
    No, you are not conscious of that. If you were conscious of it you wouldn't be asking these questions.
    Not unless you dream that they do.
    And you will never understand without a profound God-realization.
    The only conscious being is you.
    Others feel pain to the extent that you dream they do. Your dreaming it creates it.
    When you say, "Others exist who feel pain" what you're really saying is: "I dream others who are dreaming pain."
    If you keep insisting on that dream, that is what your reality will be. Until you stop dreaming it. Which is why you so insist on not stopping your dreaming.
    If you stop dreaming others, they will not exist. So a crucial part of how you create others is by denying that you create them. If you didn't deny that you create them, others could not exist for you.
    The problem is that you underestimate your capacity for dreaming. You don't yet understand that your power to dream is absolute. You actually believe that something could exist outside your dream. And that is your dream. You are dreaming that you're not dreaming.
    Precisely because your dream is the only dream, you cannot ever allow it to end, because the entire world hinges on you dreaming. If your dreaming stopped, all of reality would collapse. You call this death.

    It's not that you couldn't, it's that you did!
    God is 100% efficient. That means it doesn't imagine anything more than what is necessary to pull off the illusion. That means, God will not imagine a kangaroo unless you are looking one in the face, and even then, it will be only the half of the kangaroo necessary to fool you into buying that there is a real kangaroo somewhere behind the scenes. The whole genius of the design is that it only needs to do as much as necessary to fool itself, no more. Anything more would be inefficient and extraneous since it's a show designed for One. You don't need to create the back of the house if you're only gonna look at it from the front.

  9. What is wrong with me?
    What is wrong with me?
    Your inner game is lacking. Developing a rock solid inner game is the key. Psychedelics, meditation, awakening is very helpful for this. Your happiness and mood has to be decoupled from external events and people. That means when you're out you're happy doing whatever you're doing just because you appreciate the beauty of consciousness.
    Your happiness cannot be coupled to any kind of external result or needing to get something from someone, and certainly not to any reaction from girls. It shouldn't matter to you what girls do or say. Learn to love the present moment more than any girl.

  10. Ketamine breakthrough-becoming God
    Ketamine breakthrough-becoming God
    This is something that happend to me yesterday that I will never be able to forget. This was one of the most transformational experiences of my life and keep in mind that I have done LSD, Mushrooms, DMT and 5 MeO in high doses. I have had profound spiritual experiences with psychedelics and especially with 5 MeO. For me these experiences are deeply existensial and life changing. I read a few reports about people dying and going to the other side using high doses of ketamine that literally shut off the brain completely. Found this interesting article today on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/hecmsp/researchers_think_a_khole_might_actually_be_the/. Anyways let's get to the report.
    Keep in mind that my experience isn't really what most people will experience on ketamine and I think that is due to the intensive spiritual work that I have done in the past. I have been experimenting with mind altering substances for years with good integration for the purpose of understanding reality as it is. Also been doing plenty of spiritual work and verifying Leos spiritual content.
    I started by dividing 600 mg of ketamine into four lines for insufflation. Then I snorted one line every 30 secondes or so for better absorption. After completeing all lines I started to feel my consciosuness expanding in a very intersting way. I could compare this feeling to the comeup of an LSD trip where everything starts to breathe and colors gets more vibrant. After a few minutes I started to lose attachment to my surroundings and things started to feel part of me. It felt like I was my imagining my phone and everything around me. Slowly I got to a level where I couldn't understand who I was anymore and my vision just exploded into infinite geometrical patterns. My ego then started to panic and looking around for any leads to get grounded in the experiences but it was too late. I was long gone! I lost all awareness of my body, I did not know who I was and where I was, and I was this melting intelligent energy. I was pure being in a world of constantly changing patterns and stripes of geometrical patterns. I had no sense of time, whether of past present or future, so I could say I was in a roller-coaster ride in a multidimensional giant fractal for infinity and beyond.

    This went on and on and on and on and on... This was the scariest place I have ever visited in my life, even worse than than the one I experienced on a high dose of Salvia. I was being killed in an infinite ways and there was no way to understand what was going on. I did not even know what earth was or that I was even a human. All I knew was infinity and pure beingness. This kept on for a good while before I gave up totally and that was the moment where I was transported into the mind of God. I realized that I am the creator of the entire Universe and that everything and everyone is just really me. My memories then started to come back to me and I became conscious that I was creating all of the things/people I thought were seperate from me like my friends and house. I was this powerful pure energy circulating for infinity and a sense of oneness pervaded me. There is no secret to hide or anything to fear because really all is one. How could I be so stupid? I grew up in a religious family where I was told that God is this seperate entity that judges the bad and rewarding the good but in that moment I was literally it. That was a very unbelievable feeling! Everytime I wanted to deny this power, God took me on an infnite journey to show me who I really am until I gave up completely. This was one of the most powerful moments of my entire life. Then I decided to divide myself into different energies (souls) to experience life from different perspective and slowly I started to imagine my hands. It felt like I was watching a hand for the very first time of my life and its was so beautiful. Look at these fingers, what an elegant creation! I then became this entity in a physical body but I was still conscious of what I have just experienced. Life is really crazy and beautiful. Take care of this amazing gift that you gifted yourself. Simply enjoy the ride! You are me and I am you. Seperation is an illusion. Hope you enjoyed this quick report. ?

    Why cant I feel other people donot exist? I dont feel I am a God.
    Completely collapsing the "other" duality requires a ridiculously high state of consciousness.
    Even someone like Rupert Spira, who meditated for decades, has not acheived it.
    Hence, paychedelics.
    It's not that others aren't real. It's that others are You. All "other" will eventually collapse into you.
    The only thing you will find as you raise your consciousness are deeper layers of Self.

  12. I am skeptical of the idea that escaping wage slavery is possible for anyone
    I am skeptical of the idea that escaping wage slavery is possible for anyone
    There is never a guaranteed path to exceptional success. That's part of the challenge! You have to do it despite everything in the environment telling you you'll fail.
    Escaping wage slavery is not for people who need guaranteed paths and others to cheer-lead them. Escaping wage slavery is for people who are willing to do the work even everyone around them says it's impossible and that you shouldn't even try. You need massive vision and an irrational belief in yourself. You need to be so confident and adamant that even when you're failing you think you're succeeding.
    In other words, your inner game is not appropriate for escaping wage slavery. You're hoping for some kind of promises and hand-holding -- but that's too weak of an attitude for creating serious success.
    I should be here telling you that you'll fail no matter what you do. And you should be here telling me, "No, fuck you Leo! I will succeed no matter what you say. I will make so much money I will use $100 bills to light my cigars."

    I am skeptical of the idea that escaping wage slavery is possible for anyone
    By definition everyone cannot escape wage slavery. It is not possible at a collective level. But it is possible for you at an individual level.
    Not everyone can be a millionaire, but you can if you want it bad enough.

    Owen Cook predictions - Can we trust this guy or not?
    A bit, not much. I never winged with him, just saw him out at the clubs a lot back in 2013 in Vegas.
    But I have friends who winged with him and the rumors aren't great.
    Not getting into that.
    To be clear, my game was never great. I'm not some pickup instructor and I am not structuring my life to maximize lays.
    Learning to pull and close consistently is way harder than you imagine. People and girls especially tend to assume it is easy. It's not easy at all unless you are a master.

  15. Why do we say the Love-perspective is the most truthful?
    Why do we say the Love-perspective is the most truthful?
    Love/Good is not a positive state, it is also not a relative matter, it is a meta matter wherein you realize that there is no difference between anything.
    Absolute Truth/Love is when you realize that all bias for form is groundless. Since why would any form be better or worse than any other for an infinitely selfless consciousness?
    Nothing is ever bad in God's eyes because God has no finite self to lose.

    I know my life purpose but i will never attain it
    You can work to get a well-paying job, move out from your parents, and then pursue art afterwards by saving up money and enrolling in a school.
    Your LP requires long-term strategy. You won't necessarily be able to do it right off the bat. I had to work in online marketing for 3-4 years (which I hated) to make the money to fund my LP.
    Stop blindly obeying your parents. They have no idea what is best for you. You don't have to do anything they say. Just get a job and move out and stop letting them dictate your life.
    If you care about your LP you will not let anyone dictate you.

  17. Why is, something nothing.
    Why is, something nothing.
    Because Truth just is.
    Consciousness is Absolute Truth.
    To appreciate this answer requires awakening to what Truth is.

  18. Why is, something nothing.
    Why is, something nothing.
    God is everything and nothing, so it can't go anywhere. It's always been.
    Whatever state you imagine reality was in before it materialized, God is that state too. God is all possible states.
    There is no difference between anything, so there is no difference between something and nothing.

  19. How Is Life Different Than A Dream?
    How Is Life Different Than A Dream?
    Dreaming is the holding of differences.
    If you think any two things are different, you're dreaming.
    Two-ness is dreaming.
    Ta-da!

  20. First date soon. Advice Needed.
    First date soon. Advice Needed.
    Just change the topic to something else if it comes up. No need to lie but also no need to show all your cards. Act chill and normal. She does not need to know your social/dating life.
    Best date location is a cafe or bar in an outdoor shopping mall area near your house.
    Your biggest problem will be not leading enough. You need to lead her throughout the whole date. Take her by the hand and walk her around. Tell her where you're going. Be decisive and clear.

  21. Leo, how do you set up the date if you already seeded it?
    Leo, how do you set up the date if you already seeded it?
    Even better:
    "Sushi. What days are you free?"
    Trim all the fat off your texts.

  22. I'd love to hear your guy's thoughts about prayer...
    I'd love to hear your guy's thoughts about prayer...
    Prayer doesn't have to be an ideology.
    You can make a powerful prayer like:
    "God, fill me with your love so that I may know your love directly and share it with others."
    "I surrender myself to become a vehicle of your Love."
    You can visualize this and feel with deep emotion, over and over again, until it starts to become your reality.
    Since you are God, you are basically setting an intention for yourself and re-creating your dream in alignment with the highest good you can envision.
    The only things you should ask of God are for selflessness, consciousness, truth, love, and courage.

  23. Leo, can you talk more about the 2 directions of spiritual work?
    Leo, can you talk more about the 2 directions of spiritual work?
    @Leo Gura what I've discovered is that this direction you're speaking of has more to do with personal understandings of reality which, when in high states of consciousness, become intensely magnified and project me into ever higher realizations. But what thoughts work for me to examine this interconnectedness wouldn't work for others. This comes from the particular things I've studied, like music.
    So God, as me, is grasping itself using what it's learned from "music" to draw a series of metaphors that project itself beyond concept, label, and form.  But YOU as God don't have the same knowledge base to draw upon and thus have a different set of experience to grasp yourself with. 
    Would you say I'm grasping this concept accurately or not?

  24. How deeply can You awaken?
    How deeply can You awaken?
    Absolute Truth is absolutely true. So it doesn't get realer than that. It's realer than real. It's ABSOLUTE.
    YOU. ARE. ABSOLUTE. LOVE.
    This is the pinnacle of reality. The problem is realizing it.

    Can you move up Maslow's Hierachy if you don't have sex?
    Never chase a woman you like.
