Exactly what I was gonna say. The red pill guys are looking at the behaviour of the top tier girls and then assuming that thats all there is. And as you say, they simply ignore the fact that there are millions of normal or average looking people getting together and hooking up all the time.

@SoothedByRain I used to follow Bobby's videos for a short while as well. But I quickly realised he wasn't really providing any sort of value whatsoever. Exactly! Sums him up very accurately. It's obvious he has some serious health issues and I bet his gut health is not very good either. But of course he just blames it on a vegan diet and then goes criticising and bullying other vegans. Last time I looked he also had a massive swastika tattoo on his arm. I called him out on it and he got all defensive saying it meant something entirely different to what most people think it means. Poor guy.

Hi all, I'm (m27) looking for some advice on first dates (with a girl). I'm fairly inexperienced with this sort of thing so that's why i'm asking. My question is: What kind of mindset should I have going into first dates? How should I be 'framing it'? What should my intentions be? Bare in mind i'm actively looking for a long term relationship and not some random hookups. Any thoughts?

I'm just finishing the book now and it's really quite amazing. I haven't read or heard of anyone else going through some of the experiences he talks about (although i'm not doubting there are). You mentioned you felt like tripping whilst reading some passages, and I too had some subtle changes in consciousness whilst reading it. It's a very inspiring book.

@Gili Trawangan @Ero @Serotoninluv Thanks for the comments guys! Much appreciated.

@Hatfort I watched this last night. Her speech at the end is absurdly offensive and racist. Quite bizarre really. It's almost like she's just trolling everyone, but really she's being deadly serious.

@Flowerfaeiry Nice report! I appreciate your honesty. I will be attending my third 10 day in a few weeks. Super excited and motivated

@Preety_India Yea I love it. The pyramid is the journey, with both a light and dark side. The peak or end of the journey is awakening.

I had a really interesting experience with 5-MeO the other day which I feel is worth sharing. I plugged around 28mg. Had an extremely smooth and somewhat pleasant ego death. After I had taken the substance I lay on my bed and realised that there was no going back. A wave of relaxation washed over me and melted all of the usual pre-trip anxiety. The body and mind just completely surrendered in a way that I've never experienced before. There was no nausea or resistance whatsoever which was really pleasant. However the main aspect of the trip that I wanted to share was around 10 minutes in. I started to violently vibrate and shake uncontrollably. My whole body was moving in bi-lateral symmetry. Sweeping waves of vibrations ran from the top of my head down to my feet repeatedly up and down. It felt deeply healing, like some energy had taken over and was going into each and every corner of the body, scraping out all the crap and shit that had been stored there. It felt like I was vibrating off layers and layers of crap from the body. It was extremely pleasurable and I just let it play out for as long as possible, which turned out to be a solid 30 minutes. The more I let go of any control, the more powerful the vibrations became. It was quite amazing.

Lovely post, thankyou! Can you elaborate on the above point?

Don't be so ignorant! You clearly completely misunderstand what bullying is. 99% of the bullying I witnessed in school, to others and to myself, was not physical. Sure, what you describe is one form of bullying, but more often than not its non-physical. It seems like you're characterising bullying based on what you've see in tv shows and movies. Bullying can be extremely subtle, sometimes not even noticed by people around them. It's often just verbal which in a lot of cases is far worse than physical because it's so intertwined with social dynamics and relationships. If all bullying was just physical it would be a lot easier to prevent. I never advocated being passive aggressive, check your projections. The fact that you advocate 'beating their ass', and 'learn mma' just shows your lack of understanding and compassion here. And it's no surprise either that you use the term 'soy boy' *face palm*. I saw many times people try to retaliate their bullies with violence and aggression, it only made things worse.

Yes well I've heard the environmental arguments a million times and it doesn't add up to me. 1000 calories of beef is going to cause less environmental impact than 1000 calories of plants. Seems pretty obvious to me. However, factory farming is still a major contributor, not denying that. No it doesn't, but it does give me a right to eat meat. This is called survival. Stop ignoring the reality of this. Some people need animal protein to have a healthy functioning body, there is no doubt about this. You surely can't expect people to have unhealthy bodies purely so that we can save a few cows? It can't be both ways, at least for now.

Well, yes it does. How is someone going to positively affect the world if they are chronically tired all the time. Why would you immediately assume that Leo didn't do the diet correctly? Everyone's bodies work in different ways, stop judging people for something that is beyond their control.

@Derek White First you have to understand that what they want is some sort of negative reaction from you. They want to see that their bullying is working, that it is actually affecting you. So you have two options. First, completely and utterly ignore them. Of course this is difficult if it gets physical. But if you can be totally non reactive, almost like they don't exist, they often loose interest. But it can be quite difficult, because if they just see you're trying to ignore them, they can then use that against you. But from personal experience, it can work. The second option is to do the exact opposite and actually laugh and engage with the bullies. If they see you are not actually negatively affected by what they say and do, and you instead see it as a sort of joke, have a laugh etc, then its likely they won't carry on doing it. Because they're not getting that negative reaction which I mentioned in the beginning. Last option, but a lot more difficult, is to just love them and their actions as much as possible and genuinely feel compassion for their ignorance. They are suffering, ultimately.

@Leo Gura Leo how often are you tripping these days? Couple time a month? And also, i'm interested to know what your intentions are going forward with psychedelics? Do you still feel there is a lot of unexplored territory, insights yet to be realised? Are you ultimately working towards proving the psychedelic path for permanent non-dual awareness/awakening?

@Erixoon50 Use a comfortable chair.

A bit vague? His whole 40 year career and entire body of work is based on the body and how it functions...

@Jahmaine Yea East Midlands actually.

I rented an airbnb for a few days and did a solo retreat here in the uk - it worked out pretty well. I found a small detached cottage in the countryside for a fairly decent price. I wanted a whole place to myself, but renting a hotel room is always a option. Depends how experienced you are. If you don't have experience then you might end up wondering out of your hotel room or making loads of noise, or have some random cleaner walk into your room unexpectedly.

@Bridge to Infinity It takes some practise to notice and let go of attachment. Just keep coming back to your object of meditation, or to the present moment, whatever technique you're doing, and repeat this again and again until the mind quiets down. Took me a good 1-2 years before I was able to do this successfully every meditation. About depression and energy levels, try meditating after a nap or identify when your energy levels are highest and meditate then. Also, work on identifying the source of your depression. Don't just accept it as the way things will always be. How many physical body tests have you had done? I'd recommended a blood test for things like Vitamin D deficiency and/or other issues, and a stool test to test for fungal/parasite infections as this can often cause depression and low energy levels. You say you're eating well, how much sugar and caffeine is still in your diet?

Trump is officially the dumbest idiot alive. What a fucking mess he's made. I'm sure this will have repercussions for many many years to come.

@Identity I love Paul Chek. I first read about fungal and parasite infections from him sometime last year. I was having a bunch of issues (still am to some degree), but after getting a stool test to check for fungal infections it turned out I did! I'd still be in the dark if I hadn't come across Paul.

Look at what Trump has just done. Epitome of stage Red.

Trump truly is a fucking nutcase. He knows he's losing so he angrily lashes out like a child with airstrikes and military action. He's acting so unconsciously it's not even funny anymore.

@Bridge to Infinity Leo says repeatedly not to believe anything he says whatsoever. Leo cannot be accountable for your friends inability to distinguish between belief and direct experience.
