I second this. I dance and play football (soccer) a lot. Without stretching regularly, my body is super stiff, which affects mentally.

It is not so black and white. Passion pushes you through very tough times. It gets you to work at 110%. But depending on your passion, who you are and your background, passion first might not be viable. It is a case by case type of situation.

@Ulax There’s levels to being an intellect. A politician and a serious philosopher trying to understand reality is a vast gap. That being said, Conscious Politics is possibly only when you do serious meditative work.

Lots of beautiful insights here on this thread. For me, freestyle dancing is that passion where time disappears. My god I am passionate about that form of art, and can do it for hours every day even tho it is physically very taxing.

@Joshe is correct here. Its good to be delusionally optimistic, but also its good to be aware of the real risks.

Thank you for the time here. Godspeed!

Ideally you escalate physically and emotionally all the way to when you start walking, holding hands becomes more natural. You can also pull off no physical escalation, then suddenly hand holding but it requires more advanced skills.

This person explains different ways power is / could be abused in academia. I hope this video hasn’t been shared here ir in the blog before.

This is a bit too much brother. You can practice healthier version of game. Not all game have to be full toxic devilry.

Very possible. My personality type is the most ideal for socializing, very charismatic naturally. I recently went out with a long time lurker here on the forum. He said his mind was completely blown from observing me. He wrote a field report dedicated to me, we are just waiting for Leo to accept his registration request, so he can post it here. We will see then if the report indicates stuff about my naturalness. I am curious to see. It is very different having someone observe me from afar, especially a more newbie vs me trying to observe myself. So many things I’ve taken for granted, and has become completely secone nature. I have been in the game community from early 2010s, but mostly just watched infields and that was basically all my studies. No theories. I didnt even know there was such a thing as keeping count on the number of your approaches. I think I was at around 10k approaches before I even heard of it.

One of my most favourite openers is not saying anything. Let my body language and vibe do the opening. I love it cuz its just so something the girl has never seen. But this works only in specific situations.

Objective vs biased mind / Beautiful vs ugly mind: You can literally see in the eyes and behaviour of people in this situation. Open-minded, objective people move gracefully, they have calm and love in their eyes. Biased people are full of knee-jeek reactions, defenses and triggers. The more biased, the worst this is.

Yes it shouldn't take much more than few minutes to see if she is hooked or not.

The best thing about learning cold approaching is at an advance level, you can completely own it solo

The guy had some serious anger shadows coming out once in a while

Exactly, well described. And imagine it happening when you are 10!

Much love ya’ll, happy holidays! Life is messy but that’s what makes it worth it

I regret being born perfect

What are you on about?

Reminds me of when I was 10-12, I had my first mystical experience of when I disconnected from my ”mind” or took a step back to consciousness. I have since wondered is this just a normal thing kids go through where they just realize that there is distinctions between objects, people, and themselves. But isnt this what younger kids / babies go through? I have asked many people and nobody experienced what I experienced. I remember vividly, I was actually in a shower praying to Allah, because my brainwashed muslim kid friends brainwashed me to fear devils around, and only by praying, will you get rid of them. But suddenly, a shift in consciousness happened. It was permanent, and hella scary. It’s hard to describe, but it felt like suddenly I became the witnessing consciousness and disconnected with my normal mind/self back then. It felt like instead of being part of the earthly world, I suddenly stepped back to something witnessing the world. It was scary as hell. And I had no way to make sense of it. This shift changed my experience of life forever. To this day I’m still wondering if this was a deep mystical experience, or just normal psychological thing kids go through.

I know couple guys who have deeply studied Owen Cook for 10 years, been in all possible events, and still completely in their heads with zero social skills. This was one of the main reason I quit trying to help people so hard. The ones who get it, will get it. And the ones who wont get it, wont get it no matter how hard you try.

Just came here to say that Gear 5 Luffy is the best. One Piece is truly magical. And the creator, Oda Eiichiro, is truly a visionary. What a masterpiece he has created, and it continues to dominate the world even after 3 whole decades! Continue!

To be fair, Owen does always emphasize being very careful with condom use (not getting STDs and getting them pregnant), pulling out (with a condom), being aware of the danger of RAS flips in sexual relationships. On a deeper level, you could argue he doesnt emphasize the danger of getting addicted to game, but he does emphasize getting these basic needs out of the system so one can focus on higher stuff (more rarely tho). It’s a different story whether he can practice what he presches himself. I havent also heard of him talking about how game hurts the girls. —- P.S. Finished your rationality episode part 2, and it was madness. P.S.S. Would appreciate if you checked your PM. Sent you one I believe last week.

Moments like this make me stand proudly behind this community.

I have the opposite. I was born and raised in a green society and did too much meditation and spiritual work in my youth. I almost skipped the developmental stage of orange completely. And now having to go back there to clear rooms. Harder this way due to the my gravitational pull pulling me higher.
