  1. Sense of humor is a major part of both sexual attraction and emotional connection. Perhaps thats your missing piece. You aren't being fun enough. If you are teasing, sincere and playful it will build magnetism and closeness.
  2. @whh2222 It sounds like you have low testosterone. I would get your a hormone blood panel taken. Aside from that, you need to lead from sexual desire when it comes to dating women and stop overthinking the philosophical implications of every sentence that she makes.
  3. The men I know radically improve their lives following a breakup. The trauma of having your naive innocence shattered hits all the right notes for a total life reform.
  4. I recently found out accounts cannot be deleted from Actualized. That's quite sketchy to me. It seems to be a deliberate and deceitful capture of data at the expense of users (e.g. privacy, respect). There are many highfalutin conversations on these forums and those are mixed with autistic banter, but very little metacognizance of the very platform itself. It seems to me a symptom of digital degeneration which I have written about extensively at Ascetus. Accruing electronic clout by way of pseudoactivity.
  5. Sustaining these insights and allowing them to inform their own applications - and being disciplined to stay engaged in other work (including with others) and intellectual pursuits - is what we are tasked with.
  6. "If they tried a little meditation" is an exaggeration. Even given a committed spiritual practice one depends on physical health as an aid.
  7. Read Doctrine of the Buddha by George Grimm
  8. This is normal. Its good to keep studying to organize your buzzing thoughts into terms easily relateable to others.
  9. Follow your enthusiasm and you'll never get mentally tired from learning or working.
  10. Self-identity naturally changes as we learn through experiences, including intellectual/spiritual contemplation.
  11. The proper term would be "indefinitely large" intelligence. Infinity is that which is not limited (by any determinations, such as "intelligence").
  12. This is very basic self-awareness. Rather than trading conclusions and egoically-invested opinions try to keep learning. This means you need a real community (including online) based on the dialectical production of knowledge rather than merely led by the personality of a presumed authority figure. Any real guru, in the original sense of the word, is concerned with your growth at heart rather than your allegiance.
  13. People who subject the term "infinity" to something (i.e. more or less) don't understand the meaning of the word. But this is typical in the era we live in. People are more likely to become drug addicts than read books. Infinity is that which has no limits. Likewise it cannot be substituted for the word "consciousness" either.
  14. I'll explain how a similar model should be created to avoid ideological defects. If you want to understand non-WEIRD psychologies, you must learn their language, participate in its traditions and experience its multi-faceted civilization identity from within (its own literature, art forms and ways of life, etc.). That approach will give you an experiential basis so as to first-hand be familiar with those peoples own phenomenology, so to speak, with their own epistemology. Which of course, won't be stated in such terms, but expressed howsoever that culture sees itself. Spiral Dynamics is just looking from a culturally and historically-contingent WEIRD perspective, with an obvious linguistic bias, from the outside at the rest of humanity in all its richness. And it assumes - erroneously - objectivity about its conclusions rather than seeing them as obviously self-conditioned.
