I remember there was a thread and in that you were thinking wether to keep the forum or not. How do you feel about ir currently? Do you think it serves the purpose you intended for it? Just curious. Or maybe it ended up something you didn't expect? I see that you are very active on here, that might indicate that you like it.

I haven't got any for 28 years 8) and I don't really care to be honest. The desire comes and it goes and the most time of the day I spend without wanting it. I am starting to think my talents lie in other things than that.

Diplomat, PR, public relations, press secretary, journalist sometimes can too

There are many practical ones, but the most important are the subjective ones. The subjective/epistemical ones can be a life and death question at some point in your life whether you have that underestanding or experience to even enjoy basic things in life or just not commit suicide in my opinion.

If you are asking to me I will say no, just because you have doubt. If you genuinely want to, no problem, go ahead. Just before you do, know what you need to do to sustain the relationship. It will not hinder your personal growth in general (if you use the time to reflect), but your personal growth will go in different direction than your current model.

Yes, I strongly believe you can solve some of your basic problems like eating, fitness and even spiritual satisfaction and fulfillment on some of your deepest desires. There is a big difference in the quality of life than to live my life as is. Which is not terrible, but if the possibility is there, why not use it.

Your Mom

Alex O'Connor, Matt Dillahunty, Destiny, Thunderf00t, Aaron RA, Professor Dave, Sam Harris.

That doesn't guarantee better survival. Your spouse can get terminally sick or get disabled. Your spouse can divorce you. Your spouse can spend all your money. Your spouse can plot to harm you. Your spouse can lose their income. Your spouse can become depressed, defeated, lazy. Your spouse could become abusive so it's hard to bear them mentally. Children make survival harder btw and all of those attributes applicable to spouse are applicable to your children. However you do get it easier I guess when people share responsibilities, but it also gets quite limiting. You can good at survival, get bored or depressed because that's merely not enough for you and you can divorce them or become restless and lose everything in life. I think it's the wrong reason to get together.

The Daliban has raided your blog @Leo Gura

He is pretty intellectually open and honest, so I think it can go very well.

I just say a few things. Sorry if I offended you. That is my opinion on Ralph Smart. And that I am very grateful to have and listen to a shiva as a human being in my life, even trough the internet. Yes, Ralph Smart also helped me on the way, but people I shall not name right now, including Sadhguru have brought value and tools to my life I couldn't have dreamed of. To my very dear people in my life I would recommend them, however, I can't discuss this with people. I will be labeled as I am in some cult or I am crazy or I am religious fanatic. Also I don't want to associate with the people who follow these people blindly. While whatever works, their actions is what repel me and they can start to push me to follow with them. But these people. Have provided me so much of depth in my life. I can't believe still I have this gift in my life. No matter what happens. And I was seeking it. I was listening to whomever I can find, I was seeking pretty intense at some points of my life. I was trying to reach it. I almost went to India. But I found what I needed to find. Now I just have to live well and take care of my body and keep practicing the teachings these people continuously provide. Knowing what a Guru can bring, Ralph just doesn't have it. I can feel it lacking in him nor his actions or words show it. Gurus make you feel blissfull for no reason. Even without saying anything. Just look at a picture of Ramana Maharishi for 5 minutes. It is there. It will always be. Now, our society is what it is. The courageous will look silly for the truth. The mediocre will act silly to hide from the truth. The truth is not just what the guru says, but the truth is that which is true on it's own. Whatever it is, either you are aligned with it or not determines whether another lifetime has been wasted or some conscious evolution has really happened. The difference is night and day and you can't miss it.

While I feel more free from the forces of life than ever in my life I don't consider it freedom. I have something in my life that makes me feel great degree of freedom which increases over time. Am I free? Not really. It is more practical to say that this body separates me from freedom. That though does not mean that the body or the mind is the problem. We live in such a way, it takes a lot of effort to feel truly free. It's a full time job to make yourself that way. Even though, still somewhere, sometime glimpses of freedom happen and seem to be in a hands reach. Sometimes with a lot of effort you can't reach it. I don't know. Time will tell.

Then the one with Sadhguru would be the more genuine one to have. Ralph will not give anything specific and call this a good convo.

Destiny is a good choice in terms of possobility a discussion to happen and content. He's good in politics, self-development, life advice and while he is an atheist, he does psychedelics.

Also interviewing Sadhguru is very unlikely and will be hard for you. He has his agenda and you have yours. I don't think it would work. You might be an interesting human being for him, but he has his own talking points and he can just sweep away your perspective and view of spirituality, especially when it comes to psychedelics, especially in public. But then, Gurus have a degree of unpredictability to them, so maybe it's worth it. He sat with Logan Paul, so why not anyone.

Please don't do Ralph Smart the infinite waters guy and Sri Master Arkshana. The infinite waters guy lacks depth, his content hasn't changed and is terrible for doing this full time + he offers coaching which I assume is equally bad. Ralph's content was good like 8 years ago, when he talked about nutrition. The other guy is pure con.

Bro, don't go to Mindvalley, it's certified garbage.

Sam Harris maybe?

That would be cool

I personally don't find reading books attractive like at all and I am fine. You can get away with video or audio content as well. You can also get away with very limited information, good and simple method you are practicing regularly, so it's entirely up to you wether you read any book at all. When you might need theory from any kind of medium is when you hit a hard plateau or can't identify what problem you have or when you are searching for a solution for a very specific problem. Soon most of you will just ask your questions of any kind to an AI chat bot and it will distill all the knowledge you need, so you might not need to read books. But, you will still need to practice things that make you grounded. Reading gives you that experience by entertaining some idea for long enough you become attracted to it.

The Leo thing I agree, but I wouldn't throw Destiny under the bus. Sure he may have his flaws, but he is one of the most reasonable in that genre of content unlike some other pseudo-socialist virtue signaling, "on the ground reporting" and other click farms who are not even informed on the topics they talk about.

My only cardio is Isha Upa Yoga 20 mins a day and playing guitar and some Intermittent and prolonged fasting if that counts.

You should create a neo-advita version of Jesus Christ AI chatbot dude.
