  1. That's a really damn good way to put it!
  2. I'm so surrendered now you could piss on me and I wouldn't even mind lol.
  3. There are lots of incels in America too. So, that's not an excuse. If I could get laid in the middle-east, I don't see why anyone else can't. You are overthinking the limitations, and overlooking the simplicity of the situation. There isn't an Indian society, that's imaginary. There's only individuals, and they're different, so you shouldn't care about the general situation, but focus on the individual people that you meet. You just gotta keep searching until you find someone who fits your needs.
  4. @Someone here India is not just one country. It's a large peninsula that is culturally diverse and versatile. It has a billion people for God's sake! In practice, what you should do ideally is aim for the more touristic areas cuz the people there are generally more cool and open-minded. And the tourists are often loose there too, so that's a big plus. But even without that, it's not that hard to get a girlfriend wherever you are unless you're a total creep, which you don't seem so. Basically, just make your life more social and sex will automatically happen. Believe it or not, but many girls do not really care about tradition (they're often atheists), so you just have to look enough.
  5. Belief in Karma is an indicator of victim's mentality. The stronger the belief, the bigger the victim. After all, if Karma is true, then it's irrelevant cuz it's outside of our control/understanding. And if it's false, then it's a waste of time and energy.
  6. Enlightenment is knowing what matters and surrendering your will in what doesn't.
  7. It's not okay that some things in this business are not backwards compatible. Ex: React Router v6.
  8. A man does not feel attracted to a woman, or women. A man merely gets horny and fucks everything in sight
  9. Logic is context-dependent while intuition is not. Ex: A chess game requires logic, not intuition. This comparison is logically invalid since you said "I think". Have you said "I feel", it wouldn't have been
  10. In my experience, most people who think about the limits of logic don't really understand logic. I've been guilty of that myself. A certain level of logical maturity should be required before anyone is to be allowed to question logic. Not that logic isn't limited, but that if you pick someone randomly and ask them what logic is, its methods, and how it works, chances are they will crumble down very quickly, because they haven't actually studied logic to begin with. They basically chose to spiritually bypass logic, because it's cool to transcend as quickly as possible, isn't it?
  11. Yes. Observation and inspection are of the most fundamental practices of scientific exploration that lead to breakthroughs and scientific discoveries. In the case of awakening/enlightenment, observation and inspection of the self, the mind, thoughts, perception, the ego, etc. are of the main practices, even though geared more internally rather than externally. We might say that philosophy/spirituality is the esoteric form of science while layman science is the exoteric form, and both are two sides of the same coin. Spirituality is more like going back to the basics, while layman science is like building on top of the basics that we already have, until better understanding emerges. So yes, technically, awakening/enlightenment is a science. At least it should be treated as a science and not as a dogma. Genuine curiosity and ambition run the show rather than obligation. Modern layman science might look complex on the surface, and culture might have given it a halo of divinity, but don't let the these things trick you. Science is really simple when you understand it, same as when you experience spiritual clarity. In my experience, science is the only way to truth, as long as it's understood and done properly. I don't know any other way.
  12. Most hippies are "enlightened" until you touch their ego. The rest are just flat out deluded.
  13. I fucking love my life!
  14. What are you comparing? A few dozens of people to over 400 millions?
  15. If you want to summarize most women in one word, it's jealousy. Jealousy is the modus operandi for most women. It makes up most of their identity, because the rest of their identity is based up on this one emotion. It's what they use to navigate the world. Most women even confuse jealousy for feeling/intuition/love, because they don't have much of that to begin with. A woman's biggest objective in life is to make all other women jealous of her.
  16. It worries me that in the future some areas in the world will be literally left behind developmentally, which might create a huge gap and a certain kind of developmental polarity. The west started advancing a few hundreds years ago, and they're still going on with that project. While some areas do import the knowledge, others like the middle-east mostly import the already-made gadgets. So not only did they not start with the developmental process, but that the train is still moving and they will never catch it. And even though the internet certainly helped in decreasing the symptoms, the underlying issues are still there. I like the description of the zoo, and I think it's accurate. I imagine soon enough, humanity will be split into humans and animals. I think that's already the case to some degree, but it's still increasing. With the constant advancement in the more stable areas and the constant conflicts in the least advanced areas, there's more and more deceleration of progress in comparison. Let's say that medieval Europe = the middle-east in year 1950. So much development has happened since then. Europe now is in 2022, while the middle-east is still around 1700s, but with technology. And even that might be an optimistic overestimation.
  17. Yes, but I imagine it could be. For example, I think it can be super interesting if we take an ashram and make a controlled clinical study under conditions that Leo specifies and then examine the results empirically. Maybe we'll discover something there, or maybe not. But I think it's worth trying at least.
  18. I agree with you that awakening is a permanent shift rather than an intellectual insight. However, Leo said a couple of times that he doesn't want to stop at the traditional level of most teachers. They stop at no-self, and he wants us to realize The Self, so that's his aim with this work, and I'm not against that, especially that Actualized is supposed to be broader than just awakening/enlightenment, because Self-Actualization includes and transcends tradition. I can verify from my own experience that awakening is not limited to spirituality. I experience awakenings all across the board all the time.
  19. Okay, I've thought about this and it's still not convincing. I'm not gonna cite my critique here, though. Just wanted to let you know.
  20. God is the recognition of awe in the truth.
