To fuck the world sideways (in a loving way)

nyce!

I mean under this logic you could ban coffee, TV, Music; i've tripped harder on Pink Floyd than shrooms can do But LLLEeeooooOOO :(((( Is this shit stronger than 5 MEO DMT and is it hard to attain?

Peru? Mexico? Brazil?

@SQAAD Super insightful & wise, thanks for your take. I agree, but also feel that some people really don't need to suffer a lot to still be happy. Some rich people i know who haven't ever really had major life challenges are still pretty happy and grateful, and just don't have depression and shit. But i see you point, i know for a fact that if i hadn't had my certain traumas i wouldn't be nearly as happy or developed as i am now @peanutspathtotruthInsightful, thanks. I agree regarding the pain, leaning into it is sometimes the only option. Also, i get these weird knots of energy in my head as well. Thanks every1 else for your input

That's pretty fucked up to say. I don't know man, it seems like you are doing everything you can yoga, exercise, martial arts, meditation. I agree with @peanutspathtotruth suggestions and especially to do Semen Retention, this rewires your mind and is extremely powerful, it can turn any man into more of an Alpha. From my perspective the biggest thing that is probably getting you is the social anxiety and not asserting yourself in these social situations. Women are extremely and highly intuitive to this and even if you are doing everything right, Brad Pitt kinda guy, if you can't hold yourself in social situations, she will lose attraction. You need authentic and honest expression. I suggest the book Models by Mark Manson, especially the part of being polarizing and opinionated. You need to have the mindset "I will speak my mind and stand by my beliefs, no matter what the consequences and the money, sex, friends i lose due to it, because if i don't have my own back, i'm fucked." Other than that you are doing amazing with your habits, it is very masculine and strong to be disciplined like that. If you watch porn, cut that shit out immediately.

@LastThursdayTrue, it's a massive part of life and comes in many forms. I'd say it is a constant in some form. Do you have any philosophy on why we suffer so much? Is there a bigger picture or reason? Is it just pointless?

Classic Upper Limit Problem Read the big leap

Did you do your sessions alone or with freinds? I'm curious as to how the social anxiety was healed

Biggest thing is protecting your body before increasing your consciousness. It's more important. I recommend learning to fight and fighting back as soon as possible. Even if you get beat up, people don't want to fuck with someone who is fighting back even if it's slightly. If you can cause them hard, they will associate you with pain and stop, hopefully. Also turn your martial art into a meditation.

They are actually very similar to me. What's funny is once i did MDMA and was tripping with visuals and just felt very calm and everything was slow (kinda like classic LSD trip) Then i did LSD another time and Bob Marley' music, Natural Mystic specifically randomly came up (i don't know why bc it wasn't on my trip playlist) and my heart popped open and i felt the largest onpouring of love i have ever felt in my life. I felt like i finally understood Bobs music and his message and it struck my bones and heart on such a deep level, the man was beyond this world. I then spent 8 hours listening to Bob Marley is utter awe.

What doses of each do you use to properly flip the candy? @Adrian325

I'm still unsure about this. I don't know if you will actually experience these peoples life from their perspective, not sure how you could even confirm something like that.

Requiem of a dream is good one, that shit still sticks with me Most kick-ass movie i know is Scarface, conscious in its own right

i literally just watched that interview Leo shared from 2019, that shit was so deep, I was in tears. Can't wait to read his book I noticed that he got in touch with god/infinite love so many times that normal life became depressing for him, it's an interesting lesson

@peanutspathtotruth to you as well, I sense your genuine and deep wisdom in this, and deeply thank you for opening my mind here to another take on this. I also hope some can read this and find what synergizes for them. <3

@peanutspathtotruthI appreciate your honesty and point of view "Painful feelings might not be the reason you pick up an addictive behavior, but they certainly are a major reason for the inability to quit when it is clear that this behavior is destroying you." Bingo, couldn't agree more. It's like a sticky tape trap or something. I think we are pointing at the same solution but in different ways. I see what you are saying in the sense of not shaming or hating the part of self that is addicted to and keeps going back to porn, because ultimately it thinks it is helping and doing something good. The dopamine and reward system has placed porn as GOOD GOOD GOOD deep into the subconscious. Once we realize we are addicted it's a long way out because of this and all the chemicals that get released during porn usage. When i say "loser" i can see how it hits people the wrong way, but it's coming from love. This type of talk is what got me to quit and get my life together, later on, i dropped it. Maybe it's just a teaching style, for me, the term "loser" carries that weight and negativity that i don't want in my life. I resonate with guys like Goggins and Rogan because they have this tough love kinda approach of "suck it up and do what you need to do, push through the pain" , no doubt there might be some toxicity there but it works, and to get started sometimes that is needed. I don't take that philosophy for life in general but to get a workout done? To get up early? To stop porn? it carries caliber. And if my saying that can get some of these young guys and myself to stop the bad habits sooner, then it's worth it. That shock factor of " fuck...do i want to be 55, single, fat, and still watching porn every night" can scare anyone to quit, especially if they can't muster the self-compassion to take your approach at the time. However, in the larger scheme, I totally agree that we shouldn't demonize or hate that part of ourselves, and ultimately no-one is a real loser, just hurt or healing... It's kind of contradictory, and this discussion with you has helped me refine the approach and understand it better. So thanks for that, I hope my take can make some sense. Ultimately, you are right in this discussion, the true healing comes from loving that part of the self and understanding it. But sometimes we need a loud insulting wake up call to just get out of a hole. I like to have a bit of tough love on myself in a way a loving grandfather would say "you knew better than that, and you are better than this" "I think it's an unhealthy habit we have of demonizing anything or anyone (mostly ourselves)" I agree, and again, this is insightful to some of my own habits.

@peanutspathtotruthI have to thank you for your perspective, because there is truth in what you're saying. Actually i just spent an hour meditating on this and found that a lot of the porn addiction is linked to insecurity. However, in another twisted way, I believe the porn causes this insecurity. It's almost like the porn causes Trauma when over viewed as a young developing man, I can't speak on what it does to women. Read "Your brain on Porn". So it's not always the case that one is deeply wounded and that is why they view and are addicted to all this porn, it can just be that the porn is designed to hit a primal root in the psyche which forms an addiction. Because it is so intriguing, exciting, and pleasure filled. This causes a trauma in and of itself for a young mind. That is why you see so many amazing benefits reporting when guys just quit, and sometimes to get that motivation, we need to see or say things like porn is for losers. Because in the long-run, if you stay on porn, you will become a loser, I don't know any other way to word it. It's not calling myself of other guys losers for watching it, i am just saying watching porn will make you and is for losers. Similar to how alcholism will ruin your life, relationships, career, and make you a loser, call it tough love. But still, thank you for your perspective because it revealed some shadow stuff for me

@LfcCharlie4Solid post mate. It truly takes drastic measures to quit. @peanutspathtotruthI see what you are saying, but i tried loving compassion, it didn't kick the habit. The only thing that stopped me was to see, clear as day, that porn is for losers, i dont know any other way to say it. And from there my healing was in "no, i'm not a fucking loser like this, I am a LION and i love myself so much that i will not go back to that poison, even if doing so requires calling myself a loser for watching it"

Hi guys, Serious question, I am almost 30 and figure if i work a few more years i can have 500K saved up. I have my money invested in stocks (70%) and Crypto (30%) This provided an avg return of 20%/year. I want to have the option to stop working, not like i will for sure, but just to have that option. I figure at 500K if i get a return yearly of even 7% (stock market avg) but let's account for taxes and saving, 5% That's around 2K/month "salary" In the US that's pretty bad but I have lived in Mexico, Brazil & Peru where you can live comfortably for 1K /month and I'm talking transportation, nice housing, doctor visits, yoga and gym membership, healthy food, etc. It would be simpler living, but not impossible. Is this realistic or am i missing something? Thx

"An introvert is more likely to question reality and care about epistmeic issues due to them being in their heads a lot more. I do not expect your party jock to watch Leo's videos. It will be the intellectual nerd that will." @Karmadhi You would think so, but i've actually met a few people who follow Leo in person and they were all pretty integrated, social, alpha-kinda guys. All male though. One guy was a total sports jock, the kinda all american kid you'd see as a football team captain who gets tons of pussy, and he does.

guys i'm going to go out on a limb here and say that porn is absolute shit. it's completely toxic and ruins your life. i wish someone had told me this when i was 15 because porn literally rewires your brain and fucks up your sexuality. ever notice how it's never enough and you always need more, more, more, and how after a video your just sitting there with your fucking laptop and phone and cum on your stomach like a fucking loser? Im sorry but porn is for fucking losers! Kings and real men dont need porn because they get real human sex, and all the dopamine, oxytocin and love that comes from real sex. Also, when you jack off and cum you lose your most vital energy, your semen. Don't believe me? Go check out reddit/semenretention. I'm telling you guys, and i know this may fall on deaf ears. But head my advice. PORN IS RUINING YOUR LIFE AND YOUR MIND I HAVE STUDIED AND EXPERIEMNTED WITH THIS FOR YEARS NOW AND FINALLY BROKE FREE OF THE SPELL OF PORN AND MASTURBATION IT IS NOT NATURAL AND IT IS A FUCKING LOSERS GAME

@Leo Gura In your experience, do you think RSD is the #1, highest quality source material for getting laid? @Vivaldo My advice is to make yourself have a goal (I will talk to 5 women per night) and literally force yourself to hit that goal every single night. Even if it's just "hey i like your shirt" because the biggest barrier to getting laid is basically being sackless. When you are sackless, you only end up talking to women who are below your standards, or when your piss drunk, and maybe do 1 or 2 approaches per week, if that. You'd be amazed at how sweet and welcoming most women are, and stay observant, the more observant you are you will notice little things that attract and push her away, test the feild, play it like a video game. This has been my tactic and I've slept with over 100 women and i'm not even 30, I solely say that to prove the validity of just staying observant and pushing yourself. Go into with the mindset of "i am willing to get rejected 5 times in a row tonight, because it will make me better stronger and smarter" All of that theory is just going to fuck with your head and make your nuerotic. I think you should have some theory to lay the ground work , but don't buy a bunch of books and courses on this shit, it's a natural interaction that is in your fucking bones. The problem with all this theory is that it emulates confident or alpha behavior, when the subject is not exactly confident. So they say "hold your back up straight and speak from your chest" and you end up looking like a fucking clown because you are doing something unnatural to your personality. They say "poke fun at her, it'll make her attracted" and you end up insulting her and looking like a dipshit because all you wanted to do was have a chill conversation and compliment her, which she would have liked.
