Oppositionless

Best night at had doing game I befriended some guys at the bar first and made out with a 10. I had no idea befriending those guys was the key that night.

Make some cool art. Or if that's not your thing start a business.

I read and watched many things. Leo, other spiritual teachers, idealist philosophers, people trying to argue against the people teaching spirituality. I spent many hours thinking about these things for many, many years. I had some enlightenments on psychedelics. But I had no peace. It wasn't until I started a daily meditation practice that I found peace. Truth is good, but what good is it without peace? And through peace I'm finding some Truth, but I can't tell you what it is. I could say it's pure being, or God, or consciousness, but unless you know you don't know what those words mean, they don't mean what philosophers think they mean.

😮😂 that's a paradigm shift for sure

Started what? I've been going out to try to meet women since I was 22, just with very little actual approaching and lots of horrible nights. That being said, you said it's 10x easier with a wing, something I never really considered .

Okay, thank you. 🙏 Yes too much pressure I say if you don't approach this girl you're disgusting trash. Well I'm 26, learned about this stuff at 20, so at this point I don't think there's much hope. Last time a girl actually approached me because of how miserable I looked.

I do think it's interesting how many people I've heard say that when misfortune strikes, many misfortunes strike at once . Maybe that's manifestation. The person I know with the worst attitude also has the worst luck.

It truly feels impossible for me. I've been out many many times . But I've never had a wing. Maybe a wing could hype me up or something . im actualy decent in conversation I can get a girl im genuinely into giggling and I've had a decent number of girlfriends. I just literally , physically can't approach .

Sometimes I'll "manifest" things but it's never something I really want or care for, God likes to tease me. Example listening to some audiobook and a phrase , not some basic phrase but a really specific weird one, they use I see on a car a minute later . It's never anything useful.

I like this post because I'm too weak to approach. I've been on the dance floor having a good time and women have bumped into me multiple times (someone told me a bump on the dance floor isn't a mistake) and still couldn't do anything. I haven't done formal dance but I've been to lots of raves and learned how to move my body in an intuitive way, often incorporating things from tai chi.

@Davino When I had that dream with Ramana I had many insights the following days . He handed me a piece of paper, it caught fire and disintegrated , then he jumped into the ocean and also disintegrated. I also have a strong connection with Christ, reading the books Miracles and Wonder by Elain Pagels and The Resurrection by Dale Allison led to many awakenings for me.

I'll be honest, it's still hard for me to understand how God realization is different from traditional nonduality, maybe I haven't tripped enough (then again Leo also says to not trip much in your 20s sooo....). By traditional nonduality I mean Advaita Vedanta , not Buddhism, although plenty of Buddhists said Advaita things , like Huang Po and Bankei who said all was mind. But what I will say is, Leo excels in the realms of developmental psychology and conscious politics, that's something the traditions don't have.

World peace achieved, tell all the marines to go home.

Wish we could all just hold hands.

@Carl-Richard https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2014/07/voices-culture-luhrmann-071614 "The striking difference was that while many of the African and Indian subjects registered predominantly positive experiences with their voices, not one American did. Rather, the U.S. subjects were more likely to report experiences as violent and hateful – and evidence of a sick condition." I am a bit paranoid, lol.
