You're really quite obsessed with me!

Ha ha ha! How you are getting I think you are monster from what I said is crazy! Read. Ralstons. Books.

Definitely no feelings involved - but nice try attempting to imply I am somehow being swayed by feelings. You aren't analysing. You are being disingenuous. If you like, I can post all the forum history where you staunchly refused to go to the source (which would indicate a more genuine approach to analysing what Ralston is saying, the fact you continually refuse to do so and insist on others translating it is telling enough despite you insisting otherwise). But even this is probably beyond the time I am willing to put into this, because if you are this deluded to your own intentions / motivations it's not going to be worth it in the slightest. Simply put - you come across as totally inauthentic in your attempt to truly understand because your words do not even slightly match your actions (IE insisting it is "analysing" while simultaneously refusing to go to the source - Ralston's books - to actually critically analyse and grasp, repeatedly). It is beyond reasonable to infer you are settled in your opinion and want to simply have it reinforced or simply prove a point by taking down users interpretations/strawmans of Ralston. Read his books. Do the work. Otherwise this is all for naught.

Depends how deep you want to go. Basics: drink water, sleep well. Biggest most direct visual effects. Sunscreen/moisturizer + cleanser. Might need to work out your skin type oily/dry/combination to find one that suits. Go a level higher? Vitamin C serum - brightens, firms, protects from free radicals & UV rays. Lactic acid (chemical exfoliation don't scrub your face). Retinol (biggest effect) - fine lines, clearing clogged pores, and evening out skin tone. It increases cell turnover and collagen production. This one had a very noticeable effect on me. NB beware! Start slow with retinol or it will burn your fucking face off and cause more redness. Additionally NO retinol or lactic acid within 4/5hrs of sun exposure. You will cause damage. Always at night. I have no fine lines or sagging at 40 (this will change from now, can't stop aging and it hits women around this age with perimenopause). Sunscreen every day since 12. Hat + sunglasses. Fear of the incineration capabilities of the Australian sun - skin being good was a side effect.

Fuck Rolex - I do not rate. Enicar sherpa graph all the way - muah!

He is my spirit animal

Record El Niño to bake Australia Well. I'll update you on the incineration down under. FUCK. The sad part is, I did a minor in meteorology at uni (maths was my major). We studied ice core samples from the Arctic in 2005/2006 looking at how the climate changes. Looking at the projected path we were on back then triggered 3/4 months of really bad depression for me.

Either he is trolling and this is more stuff to generate views - or his paradigm is slowly coming apart. I tend to think the latter, actually. I am prepared to be the fool... He was a Mormon and discarded that for blueprint. Fickle. Possibly falling hard for Kate Tolo has changed his austere views. There is only so much energy one can have for the neurosis he employs attending to his rigid life. Their relationship has some tells of codepandence. The other thought I have? Blueprint and the experiment was the narrative / beginning of the grift. The slow boil to be discarded for Immortals Care - the real cash cow. He very deliberately targeted an audience of neurotic, overanalysing, black and white thinking min/maxers. People who want shortcuts. People who would rather swallow 4/5 supplements than actually nail down sleep, hydration, nutrition, exercise and solid routine (lets be honest now, all the crazy blueprint shit he does moves the needle less than a millimetre, whereas these fundamentals substantially shift our quality of life). People who love hype, fantasy thinking - people who jumped on the AI hype train with him. People who are deathly afraid of aging, afraid of pain, afraid of their appearance falling apart. And above all - fear of death. The ultimate fear. Fear fear fear. He basically targeted fear and sold to it. Gotta give it to him

From what I can infer - no to Ralston. Not sure about Einstein. I don't understand continually wanting to take down Ralston but also resolutely refusing to delve into his work to understand. If I wanted to tear apart someone's work I would first go straight to the source and investigate all counter claims to my own. This usually either convinces me out of my opinion or assists in my own ability to put forth a sound argument. Probably why I like to go at users who I disagree with a lot - it helps me sharpen the mind @Joshe >.> <.<

40. You guys are pups still Even 40 for me still feels SO young! I felt my 30's were really a lot calmer than 20's. A better decade. I feel just as good, vital, energetic and strong as I did at 18.

My copy of Ending Unnecessary Suffering is with my brother - my post was referencing The Book of Not Knowing (which I have as a soft copy and can paste some contemplations, but they do not directly relate to suffering, just examples). Further to this - I might decline the request. I do not believe you have any true intention to really understand Ralston. I believe you will not truly listen, comprehend and understand because you are approaching this entire topic with an agenda: something to prove. And if I know humans, it's that if they have something to prove they will never really listen to what the other person presents. Coupled with the above, you have great issue with Ralston. There is evidence for this across many posts, threads, topics over the span of years on the forum. I don't believe you are earnest in wanting to understand. You have been recommended Ralston's work and books by myself and other members of the forum. Multiple times. In each instance - you never actually take action to read his works or teachings. You insist on someone else putting forth their interpretation and spin on their understanding. If you truly wanted a pure source and to understand, you would not be asking for secondary filtering through a user in this way (which can, and does, corrupt the teachings). I perceive you as wanting someone else to translate Ralston (and possibly accidently strawman him) so you can try to dismantle his work in a lazy manner. Sorry, but not sorry.

I did think it might present as a false dichotomy (or could be viewed as such, depending in perspective and knowledge) Stupidity is so broad it could be a long format video in and of itself.

Leo - I want to know your thoughts on stupidity vs evil. Which do you consider worse? And why?

No Lue, YOU are the disinformation agent. You are what is wrong with the UFO community. You are why this topic is fucked. I don't trust him. Even less than I previously did.

Example of one of his contemplation meditations? Or book pages?
