My driving instructor who is very good with women and has had lots of women his life just told me this. He would meet a girl, and just have a playful and friendly convo with her (not in a beta way), then ask her out or ask her for dinner at his place. His golden rule was to never do anything at the first date. Just have nice convo and dinner, make her feel like you’re a guy that she wants in her life and make her feel comfortable. Of course he said to flirt with her but not in a needy way. So he would never fuck and rarely kiss on the first date. But he said that this is what seperates him from other guys and why those women always came back for him, because hes not needy. Anyone else have experience with this strategy?

@electroBeam I don’t care about suffering much, I care about exploring this life to the fullest, which includes awakenings but also many other things. It’s really only delusion and idiocy when looking at it from the absolute perspective. Bach’s music is pure delusion and illusion yet people have spent years studying and enjoying his music. The divinity of life and God is to be found in everything you observe. In the absolute sense of course the spiritual path is the least delusional path since you are looking for absolute truth. But just calling things delusional when living life and not enjoying what you want to enjoy is the biggest delusion of all. Obviously God doesn’t point at an animal and screams; “illusion” as if to denounce it. The distinction of illusion and truth doesn’t exist in the mind of God and thats how the entire universe can exist.

No, delusion is Gods free will to experience everything, so it is a God thing. How can God love the human experience without deluding itself to actually think it it human.

@electroBeam I know "Others don't exist" Because "Other" is just a label you put on things which are not your "self". It's not like the keyboard i'm typing on doesn't exist, even though my ego frames it as "other". Don't assume I haven't had deep trips because I have. I know I imagined everything. However this "I" doesn't actually exist in the physical, its completely formless. So your relative points versus mine don't matter at all in this context. When you are saying to me that I am just a thing you are imagining its just another ego narrative. There is zero difference between the imaginer and the imagined. Also, God clearly embraces/loves delusion. How else did you get here?

How to change your core mindset from scarcity to abundance? Especially in business and career? For example I'm a music producer, and I often find myself discouraged by my limiting beliefs, such as that I'm not good enough, or that success is not worth it etc. How to change from low confident and self-guilting to high confidence and hammering and bringing out work every day? How to change my mindset so I can clearly see my opportunities, strengths and weaknesses?

Like others are not also the Self/Present moment. This is a bullshit duality you are making that may change your life forever. “Connecting to others is dualistic and leads to suffering” sounds like some childhood trauma stuff. A truly enlightened being is always in the world and with others because he realised that is the same as dreaming away in your mind. Thats why the last ox picture, after all the spiritual stuff, is just “in the world”. Just look at Sadhguru for example. Hes always talking to people and travelling without it ever interfering with his spirituality. Im not saying its bad to seek solitude, but dont act like its because that is just a spiritual fact that it is better. This whole post stinks of sneaky ego narratives, sorry but I have to say it bro. You are clearly not as awake as how your stories on this forum portray you. Sometimes you seem psychotic, and believe me bro I’ve seen some psychotic shit it’s not like I do not relate. But to be honest you seem like a deluded fella. Also, connecting with others is not done out of the lower self. How do you even come up with that. Truth is Love and that is the highest Self. This Self embraces everything and doesn’t make a difference between “inner world” and “others”. I also share your desire to be more by myself and my inner world, but I’m not deluding myself that this is the higher self talking. Sorry if this post come off harsh but this is what I think.

Thanks for answering.

@Corpus The visuals make insight more capable imo because you have lost your entire reality to visuals, so your old reality no longer blocks your insight. its literally like cracking open God's skull. I have seen visuals which would convince you that you are God even if it didn't raise your consciousness.

When did you start using DMT? Did you find out it was more potent than 5-MeO only after opening your mind so much after many trips? or would DMT have been more potent for you from the start? My theory is that DMT is deeper because you literally lose your body so you are more capable of insight. Do you still meditate 1 hour daily and enjoy it? Or have you given it up entirely?

Keep in mind i am still integrating this trip. This is the most hardcore trip I have ever had and I have done 60+ Trips including breakthrough 5meo. it was 150mg dmt btw, bonged. Most ive ever done. Had a tripsitter. Soon as i exhaled the last hit my entire human life was gone except for memories. I was in a realm of which the appearence can never be described. There were colors but everything was colorless at the same time. A godlike, flying bird like creature instantly appeared. It was the only entity present. The entity gave off a masculine energy. I had no body, was only a formless mind. But I could telepathically communicate with the being in both English and Dutch. I started communicating with the being and it gave me insights so radical including love is truth, all the shit you have heard leo say etc, but as an actual insight. You can not ever imagine how shocking this was. I had a vague intuiton of love is truth first, i had a stout impression that it was shown during my 5meo breakthrough but this was definitely not the case after seeing what the being showed me. after this trip i can not imagine how love and truth could ever be seperate. Its like saying love is not truth is like saying, “a tall gnome”. Imagine having this insight plus insights that are even more radical but can never be described with any words. All in one trip. Some questions that I asked the being he didnt answer me purely because it would end my human existence. I told the being that this sounds similar to what Leo says and the being laughed at me. It said “Yes he’s right, but he has not actually gone over the border, meaning he is still an infinity away from understanding what the truth really is. After this question i proceeded to ask the being more about Leo’s teachings. It told me the teachings are quite simply the most advanced on earth but that it is still laughable compared to the knowledge of infinite truth. I inquired about understanding of science and it told me Leo has a better understanding of science than scientists, but really only because Leo confronts the metaphysics of science and the entanglement problem while most scientist deny their own metaphysics by not being interested in them. However he told me that that most points Leo made in his critique to science are not good points at all, and that in the reality of the universe/infinite intelligence, Leo knows almost as much about science as Donald Trump. It told me Leo is one of the most advanced humans, and that it is wise to follow him, however his understanding is still utterly limited by his human form and ego games. I then asked the being to really show me how science and knowledge works and it said to me that he would not show me as it would annihilate my entire human body and mind if he did. “If you really want to see, I can show you, however you wont be be human again. How did you think I ended up here?” This feared me so much that I almost lost contact with the being. It told me not to fear and to keep dong what I was doing. Because it realized how much my mind bad been fried, he just constructed and showed me the most beautiful architecture which is literally unimaginable for humans. More than 3 spatial dimensions etc. This is also utterly indescribable. It was a being of love that is for sure. Slowly I started to come back. Decided to never do Psychs again. It was not a bad trip in the sense that there was not much fear or suffering, but the shock from the insight is a lot more than meant for human minds. It felt like i was a conductor only made for 10 volt, but i’d just been on 9000+ volt for for hours. after this trip I didnt speak with anybody for 5 days and did not watch tv etc. Had to sometimes cry for an hour then laugh for an hour. Didnt even think much tbh. It was a complete reset of my mind and 50x more shocking than 25mg of 5-Meo-dmt. Tbh this trip report does nothing to really describe the trip. But I had to share it here to vent and also because the being talked about Leos teachings. I am still dazed and not the same right now. Of course I will never be the same again but I still expect the shock to be over in a few weeks. I will probably not do psychs for at least a year or two. TLDR: smoked 150mg dmt, entity came, almost completetly dinsintegrated my mind with insights by my free will. Came back, mind still fried.

@Tim Ho in comparison to this being, definitely. Like Leo said we are only humans. Dont forget this being praised Leo when I asked about him. But humans are simply not capable. I was not a human during this trip, my body was literally not present. This is on most dmt trips and I think this is what allows you to have the crazy insight and experience more than 5-meo. The talk I had with the being about humans and Leo was just the small talk of the trip. The other 97% was balls to the wall indescribable.

@Michal__ np bro. I have done 30 mushroom trips and this was my 9th dmt trip, after doing trips of 100 mg & 110 mg also with beings, super radical but they were literally nothing compared to this trip. Im 100% sure a large portion of the insights will not stick because i simply am not capable in this human identity. this trip has shown me possibilities of reality and creation that are so outrageously impossible, they would literally be impossible to see in the material state (having a body) because the insight itself would instantly disintegrate your entire reality. I have described less than 0.1% of the trip because the rest is more than indescribable. Even me trying to remember parts of the trip it feels like im not the one who went through the trip. During the trip I was fully conscious I was God and Consciousness, but that was a piece of cake assumption compared to what was shown. @Leo Gura yes definately. I have done 110mg which was super radical yet amazing, but its nothing compared to this. To be honest this trip helped me to empathise with your work on actualized.org. I have no idea how i would communicate those insights even 1%. You take it to 5% and I really admire that bro.

By labeling thoughts as unwanted, you are making enemies out of them. surprise: the human mind thinks a lot about enemies as a survival mechanism. If my neighbour is my enemy and he is about to murder me any second, best to think of him and where he is at, about what he is doing at all times. With thoughts its the same, however you have made an enemy about those thoughts because you dont want to think those thoughts. Buy the mind is always thinkinh about the enemy! I think its best to label the thoughts as neutral and to realize that demonizing the thoughts is making them stronger.

Lol

Brains are just as imaginary as the fact that brains are imaginary.

This would be too epic to be real.

Insights from quantum mechanics based on reading about Sean Caroll; When looking at individual situations, wave functions imply “parallel universes” or “parallel timelines”; the schrodingers cat argument. However Sean Caroll states that individual wave functions actually do not exist when looking at the actuality of the universe. Everything is intertwined so there is only one wave function, the function describing the entire universe, which is likely to be of infinite size. We can use the same logic when talking about individual perspectives and death. Any individual perspective is purely imaginary and just like an individual wave function. However in the relative sense they are true, we all have our own perspective on life. In the same as parallel universes don’t exist in actuality when looking at the hypothetical wave function of the universe, death doesn’t exist when looking at the actuality of the entire universe. Only in our individual stories death exists. This also made me realise a potential answer to the problem of other minds; the entire problem is questioning whether other POV are imaginary. With the underlying assumption that your own POV is not imaginary. How could it be? But it turns out all POV are equally imaginary without there being an imaginer. I see a lot of talk about solipsism on this forum. All solipsism says is that every character is imaginary except “yourself”. Its just the ego thinking it has a special metaphysical position, when there is absolutely no proof for this. All characters are equally imaginary and real. Even though I am imaginary I still have a conscious experience which is the universe.

Thanks for all answers people.

Especially asking @Leo Gura and all other people who have worked in the video game industry. One of my goals is to own a big gaming company and create amazing, epic & artful games. I know this is an enormous and difficult ambition. It is my intent to first make money with other work and business, and then in 15 years or so have enough to start the gaming business. Any tips on how to approach creating a semi-stage green gaming company, which makes good profit? My goal is not to maximize profit like EA because that will make shit games with lootboxes etc. But of course I want to make profit for myself and the company, I want the company to be big. I want to make full fledged video games so the costs will be astronomical. How to best balance the need for profit and artistic integrity? In film Christopher Nolan is a great example, creating films like Inception which is both a blockbuster and an artistic masterpiece. Thanks.

Consider a teenage guy with low self-esteem, who thinks all girls do not find him attractive, regardless of whether this is the case or not. If we would follow your rhetoric, we would say this is his literal reality. It appears to him that girls do not like him, and appearance=reality. However doesn’t this rhetoric go against our mission in combating self-deception? If we say self-deception is true, we automatically assume there is an underlying true reality which is different from appearance. And in life there are many instances where it is proven to us that reality is not how it appeared to be. How do we reconcile these two ideas of appearance = reality on one hand and self-deception on the other hand?

@Leo Gura all fish? What about Inuit people who almost only eat fish but are tested to be very healthy?

Recently read the 4 hour body by Tim Ferris. He proposes the slow carb diet to lose fat: 1. Only carbs you can eat are from vegetables, beans and lentils 2. Eat the same recipes over and over again 3. Don’t drink calories 4. No Fruit 5. One cheat day per week Has anyone tried this diet and got results? How quick?

“The caterpillar is a prisoner to the streets that conceived it Its only job is to eat or consume everything around it In order to protect itself from this mad city While consuming its environment The caterpillar begins to notice ways to survive One thing it noticed is how much the world shuns him But praises the butterfly The butterfly represents the talent, the thoughtfulness And the beauty within the caterpillar But having a harsh outlook on life The caterpillar sees the butterfly as weak And figures out a way to pimp it to his own benefits Already surrounded by this mad city The caterpillar goes to work on the cocoon Which institutionalizes him He can no longer see past his own thoughts He’s trapped When trapped inside these walls certain ideas take root, such as Going home, and bringing back new concepts to this mad city The result? Wings begin to emerge, breaking the cycle of feeling stagnant Finally free, the butterfly sheds light on situations That the caterpillar never considered, ending the internal struggle Although the butterfly and caterpillar are completely different They are one and the same" -Kendrick Lamar, To Pimp A Butterfly

Thanks, so you propose no cheat days. I want to lose fat, do you think 2 cheat meals per week is still good? Still want to enjoy some pasta or something once in a while.

What are the nutrients from fruit that you can’t get from vegetables?
