Interesting take. Well, what does feminism mean and why can't it be labeled as movement for human rights, or some kind of egalitarian movement. I would accept it more. Now, like any other social movement (official or not) like BLM, manosphere, men's rights activists etc. Tend to care only about their agenda which in some point is inherently unhealthy and damaging for the society as a whole. Some radicals will agitate something, gather momentum and then create a stigmatized movement which you are supposed to agree with by default, but we all as individuals have subtle agendas, but we have many similar social problems. And "just" hating is also not constructive or specific criticism with no root cause analysis at the end of it. -

Thank you for this content of emotional masturbarion. -
It is pretty lonely in a sense that you are in a sea of virtue signaling people passive aggressively attacking you. That is what I keep experiencing the most and is the biggest downside. People do not accept you for who you are, but the paradox is that this is the most of what I authentically am that I have ever been in my life. It's sad. People having problems. Not solving them and then projecting them to all other people. It's like an MLM.

I think underestanding the depth of your meta-problems are good, however you can create more problems with identifying with these problems too much while doing the work (any kind of self-reflection or inquiry). It will also not hurt for practical improvements and maybe you can solve these problems yourself. Go to the doctors you are supposed to go to, I think, in the meantime.

Isn't this thread kinda pointless. If you didn't just log in it would have been fine, no? -
Incredible investment, recognition of the problem and advancement of technology and waste management is the solution.

Looks like Leo is not the only one on the race for AI spirituality. Literally ask it anything and check what answers you get. I got some interesting ones trying to poke it for various topics and I know what he is about for the large part. https://ecitizen.info/ngpt Small disclaimer, we both know what you are getting in to, browse at your own responsibility regarding the life advice given. Have fun! Looks like this is not yet an alpha version also.

I acctually have a deeper criticism ot the narrative of being with a lot of women or even one which is related to your burning of the karma video. In all of human history there were men who couldn't get laid even once. This is also the case now, however yes, this is the best time in human history to change that individually, but it is as valid as the perspective of me deciding, ok if I will not find a woman, I will stay celibate or find a way to stay celibate and work on other things. Now this you will consider as being out of balance. And here is my criticism. This balance is informed by society and it's marketing to exploit your desires to participate. Now we also have the tools like shadow work to intensly do and burn it out from your system faster or to discover something else in life trough self-equiry, tantra or even occult that you forget about your sexual desire. I do not deny this possibility. The problem is that this is almost never told in society therefore you socially feel out of balance. Yes, I do have an incompletion on deciding to never approach, but my point is that everyone's lifestyle can be as valid if they evolve consciously and feel blissfull. But even if you taste this pleasure, your problems do not disappear like you mentioned with the pickup guys. But there always is a meta-alternative.

Well, the point even of a healthy man is to impregnate a woman once to have children. Sexual acts are our artificial problem which we are managing now. No need to destroy your body with that. Time to heal the problem.

My pet peeve is when people say one and do another and are unaware of it, including myself.
-
I am sorry for the mischaracterisation, but I think you are since shadow work is not part of our education today, I don't know why I think you are, but I still do. But whatever. I know that what you offer can personally really help him. I know other people who could offer that kind of help for free (shadow work being derived from ancient hindu teachings) but seeing them you will probably not do the practice.

The more time you will waste on this situation the worse you will feel. You focusing on another person will make you feel lethargic. Especially if the other person is unavailable and low mood, there is just no other way. The situation that you will end up together is unlikely as it usually is. You need to find something that you are passionate about doing, for your own desire to enrich the world with. Accept that she may be gone forever from your life, it maybe hurts but you have something to work with. I suggest working on the basics like the way you eat, socializing and staying in a job. Then if there is any medium here is can suggest that would be @Emerald, you could do some shadow work to get rid of that loneliness and get a relief or pick up some form of kriya yoga. Good luck man. Rooting for you.

You can use everything for enlightenment and rewiring of your psyche like the tantrics, occultists, aghoris or whatever. That's why. For example if you really have a siddhi of any kind. You act on it and you clearly know that you are not just the body and you are THAT or shiva or God or whatever. Your idea about you will change so critically that there is alternative to your identity you previously had. Another example is the benefits of pujas to Devis also grant something similar like shaktis where some things that don't happen normally happen. Your question sounds like, the apple which you can't get is always sour. But if you had it. Different story. I will ask you then, why practice anything if you probably won't get enlightened in this lifetime? -
Hmm, I have a different problem. I haven't really dated any women successively. I don't have a problem with them. But I have an existential and life purpose problem that restricts me from getting into a relationship. Basically I do underestand that I can consciously evolve by picking up a technique and radically improving (spending a lot of time, just like in a craft), and I am capable of doing so. I am not happy, not sad also, not lonely and not bored. I can't explain, it's some kind of dark night of the soul thing where I can't enjoy stuff, but the most enjoyable thing is the present moment. So getting into a relationship does not make sense, since I will die alone and anyway. Life purpose problem is smaller but is within the existentential problem, and I contemplate wether to do music or not. Not sure what to make of that and if this information is any use to you.

To see how it feels, what changes. To get different results than the common man. To have potential to not do it if you decide not to do it.

This topic is just so obscure, I don’t think it's practical to talk about it. I congratulate all the people who managed to attain to such mastery and all of those siddhas and tantrics who are capable at living differently than the common man. I think they are more closer to enlightenment than people without siddhis -
I like artistic women. I find a lot of women attractive in different ways + if you can tell me some story, if you can show me something, play an instrument or sing, you got my attention. I maybe don't show it, because I don't know how, but I really like it.

They are excluding everything including the concept of concepts because it just works to keep away from identification with anything which does the trick. -
I am curious why you think is it idiotic? How is it willingfully ignorant in any shape or form?

Loud music, scale of 2. It goes away. I have it sometimes randomly for 30 seconds on a scale of 5. Never have been bothered by it.

No, bhakti yoga is just not for you guys. Otherwise if it works it's great. -
Neem, haritaki and turmeric are good to prevent gut/colon inflammation in my experience.

Bad boys go to prison, my friends. I want to be a good boy until I am under authoritarian rule. Then my life has no value and it's better to die as a dissident.

Have you checked your colon? Colonoscopy for example? I did not see vitamin d here and you can also check macro/micronutrients. I know I have low vitamin D and it is associated with fatigue. Is your stomach occasionally inflamed? Maybe you could be allergic to something and under constant inflammation. What's ur blood pressure? Do you feel tired after eating? Do you feel tired after drinking coffee? Maybe quit coffee for some time.

I feel terribly upset and I will die dissatisfied with the ignorance, projection and violence of people around me and current political situation of the world that mainly idiots rule the world and there is no alternative. I know I would be at my peak professionally if I were some kind of contemporary classical musician or something like that. I would have made really interesting music. But life goes on. Nothing to regret. I just know this, and I will live for the rest of this life in this mediocrity nobody wants to improve.
