  1. @OnceMore you've got it right. you were close friends and now you're experiencing loneliness. it makes you fantasize shortcuts to get out of your sadness. solution? get out and expand your life. join new religions. dance with shamans. meet yoga practitioners. observe the resistance arising within you as you read my suggestions. how many excuses have you gathered? what's the source of your resistance?
  2. oh wow, i could not grasp your meta joke in time haha. im feeling pretty tired. the ayahuasca ceremony was incredible last night. haven't slept much yet.
  3. the blue cliff monastery was estabilished by the great master thich nhat hanh. there will be an open event this sunday. unfortunately, i live in brazil. but that's the kind of event that i wouldn't miss if it happened near me. here's the link for the event. an opportunity to work your ass off for real and step out of the mental masturbation.
  4. @Shin mental masturbation is thinking about enlightenment and not having the attitude to step outside and open the chest to life. it's seeking so much that there's no time left to find anything. i've been there and i needed people to shake me up so i could get out of it. that's why i advise people to live up.
  5. @Sheeba find the beauty within you. let your heart bloom.
  6. how would it be like going to sleep and never wake up? how would it be like waking up after never having gone to sleep? alan watts
  7. @PetarKa @Ferdi Le it's been too long since i practiced street workout. i cannot recall the sources. but i ingested 30g of whey protein per day and it felt very efficient.
  8. @PetarKa what i know is that the body is incapable of absorbing more than 30g of protein per day. 40g if you train REALLY HARD. if you exceed that amount, i don't know if it's bad for your kidneys or if it will simply go out of your body when you pee. anyways, it's a waste of money.
  9. @Santiago i am amazed. i'm in pure awe. beautiful.
  10. @LaucherJunge if you feel complete, don't get involved in discussions with people that try to sell you the idea that you're not complete. they may not feel complete. the practice of selling discontentment is evil and (sadly) present even among spiritual seekers. they're trying to understand something that cannot be understood, resisting to something that should be embraced every second.
  11. @Santiago hello there. the spiritual path can only teach us to avoid optional suffering, like anxiety and regret, mostly. when it comes down to episodes of true and deep human suffering, like illnesses and death, the wisest choice is to embrace the episode completely and to live it deeply. learn from it and then grow out of it. the attitude of avoidance just stacks up more optional suffering above the gross layer of non optional suffering, which you'll have to go through eventually. here are some words of the great master thich nhat hanh about the death of his mother.
  12. @LaucherJunge that right there is enlightenment! a complete healing. when life feels good for no reason. a very grounded sense of completeness. there's no need to grasp a mental model for reality. as a consistent practice, there's nothing deeper than living gracefully.
  13. @kieranperez observe your thoughts, your words and your body 24/7 you know the drill to observe your thoughts and words. look for self-sabotaging patterns. study yourself. for the body, look for tensioned muscles and learn to relax them. observe discomforts in your abdomen, chest and your throat. learn to understand what the body says. the main goal is to live with a comfortable body and a sharp/steady mind.
  14. @sleeperstakes a good place to start is a consistent meditation habit.
  15. @onacloudynight from my experience, no. pick up is just a waste of time. it's just a mini-game. don't get stuck in a mini-game. go deep into yourself. maybe, someday, you'll find a girl who's devoted to consciousness work too. then you'll find a breach for a much deeper domain of development and growth: an intimate relationship devoted to Truth.
  16. @Miguel Oliveira do you want to feel complete? then stop doing this inner work to use it as a tool to impress others. the way of ego is about attaining. the way of wisdom is about letting go. now, my sincere opinion: i find PUA an extremely poor and petty practice. it's possible to go deeper.
  17. @Lynnel very nice! search for yogi bhajan's books. they're easy to find and there are PLENTY.
  18. @jon hinkle what else do you want? money? cars? fame? women? what is your deepest poverty?
  19. you seem to have some traits of a zen master, but you lack the main ones: presence, contentment and wisdom. why don't you search for a zen sangha near you? the practice of zazen may heal your disgust for life. that's what i did and it works.
  20. @randomancer search for green juices. they're simple, healthy and taste really well.
