Butters

Can hypnosis bring back any memory from the subconscious?

This thread made me appreciate my dad more because some people don't have a dad at all or are in a worse situation. Called him up last night and he was quite chipper, probably because it also reflected in my tone. There's probably some balance for me between letting it go while maintaining healthy boundaries. Would be nice to drop all the emotional baggage at some point, but it's also funny how the ego uses that baggage to procrastinate on my business for example. Ego is a trickster. Old karmic cords 😌

Growing up my dad was very emotionally unavailable and at the same time didn't give me any structure or guidelines whatsoever. I guess I could say I was raised only by my mother, and she did that extremely well. When my parents divorced and my dad started drinking he became even more emotionally unstable, depressed and unavailable. This has never corrected. For a while there I thought he was a serious covert narcissist because he often sees himself as a victim while completely isolating himself socially and blaming the world for his misery. He also never seems to have had any interest in my personal development or development as a man, only some interest on an extremely surface level. I can't really blame him because there are neurological issues at play, and he's had two strokes if I understood that correctly, though it was going on long before that. Over these past few years he has said "I love you" a few times, I'm guessing he realizes his own mortality. But I cannot say it back because of a lifelong emotional distancing. I simply cannot open my heart to this man because he chronically lacks empathy and this will never change. I can image I've been burned literally thousands of times as a child and I cannot afford this anymore, so now I don't trust this and I've emotionally distanced myself. I'm also often suspicious of him and think that he is a totally different person when I'm not around. Like he speaks bad about me, doesn't respect me at all. This is just a guess, but I also have 0 evidence that he respects me. Please understand that his functioning, in my opinion, is closer to that of a child and not an adult. I guess he was seriously traumatized in his youth that cause some massive brain development problem. Currently he doesn't seem to have any ability to reason or self-reflect. I don't know if he ever was able to do this, how could I know what his psychology was like when I was a child or teenager? But at the same time I thought maybe this is normal? Is your dad emotionally available, or is this quite rare and only with dads who developed themselves well?

@Leo Gura why does the server go down every day at around noon European time?

I'm not proud of it but I've literally committed a genocide. It all started with one bee in my home. No biggie. This was over the summer and I captured him in a glass and let him back outside. Not long after that I got stung in my sleep in the morning. I thought this was a nice way to wake up on time and not be lazy. Over the summer I've been stung a total of 3 times in bed. I found more bees in my house during the day and over the summer I always captured them in a glass and let them back out. I noticed that some bees didn't want to be let outside so I decided to just keep them in the glass until they died. I observed them, I bonded with them. The bees were never aggressive with me. Come late September, temperatures get colder and all of a sudden there's bees all over my house. I was never sure if they had a nest, I thought they just wanted to chill after licking flowers, but now I was pretty sure. I opened the window to let them out and they were being idiots again. Now I was sick of it. I don't want to call an exterminator and have him break open my ceiling. So I bought this anti-wasp spray and started spraying. Hundreds upon hundreds of bees got hit by this chemical soup, which actually gets them into a frenzy as the bees literally go insane when they inhale this spray. I felt bad for them, but I think I now got rid of all the bees because I really got the spray up into the ceiling. I've tried to coexist with the bees all summer but it ended in chemical warfare.

I'm watching this now, so damn fascinating!

That's true, guy has 1100 videos. I just posted this for inspiration.

I'm not poking at capitalism, I just answered your question. Law of Attraction is quite simple though. I've seen many transformations happen, including with myself. If someone can help another get into a better mind space to accomplish their goals, I applaud that. I applaud that more than feeding people foods that clog their brains or using fear-based marketing to get people to buy product they don't need (ie cosmetics). Simple.

Investors, including VC firms, pension funds etc. I meant that having a YT channel that has a positive impact on people's minds is more conscious than most business models.

It's a pretty conscious business model compared to something like McDonald's or insurance.

So you put a comma there? Like $46,343.00? Coaching is a real business and Youtube is a good channel to get clients.

Let me try to translate this. Normally, in or outside of nightclub context, women will give "choosing signals", which is a non-verbal signal that they want to be approached. This includes laughing, giggling, eye contact, adjusting (bra or top) or any other type of seductive non-verbal that a straight guy who's aligned with his sexual energy would pick up on instinctively. Women approaching guy is not the way it goes ordinarily. Why? Because she might get rejected and women can't handle that, so it's done indirectly like this. So if she approaches you and you're a young guy, it could imply that your opinion or energy carries 0 weight from her perspective, meaning she doesn't respect you.

@NoSelfSelf not everybody lives in red pill land.

I was thinking the same. He's literally an ex con so best be cautious, he probably has some stage red in him. However he does translate some of the concepts from Neville Goddard quite well imo. Just watch the channels you enjoy, don't take any one influencer too seriously. Law of Attraction Youtube channels are a cesspool of bullshit and semi scams, obviously since it's so easy to tell people what they want to hear. But I respect his hustle.

Last time I checked there was a new category in there called "law of attraction", bought a good book from that list.

This is true. But that doesn't really 'show you have innate seductive power', that just shows women grind on guys in clubs.

I used to think like this, but now I'm working on building my business and I want to make lots of money with it. I figured it's easy to sit around and have ideals but I also want my theories to be worth something. Make two million bucks first and then philosophize. Leo calls this "holding your feet to the fire of reality". I think I'll come out stronger and more well rounded as someone who's artistic and idealistic at heart but learned business and finance along the way. I think it's important to keep an understanding of the meta, sort of a stage yellow approach.

❤️ Damn 😔

This is very true. You can't be sitting on the couch going "all is love" and expect to build a big income, it requires building an identity which creates new dualities.

I don't get it. Yesterday: stressed about money, bad day, I look at my bank balance and a subscription was deducted from my grocery money. I felt this intuitively before I looked. Today: not stressed about money, I look at my account, money has arrived unexpectedly. I felt this intuitively before I looked. So when I saw the unexpected money there, it was absolutely no surprise and in line with my vibration. It was nothing special. So, can I predict the future, or does my vibe precede the event?

I understand that in law of attraction you raise your vibration to attract the events in your life, but it feels more like predicting the future (intuitive feeling event will occur) , which is useless unless it's a life or death situation.

When I was a kid my friend and I got our dog to hump a stuffed animal. Facts.

Do you mean that you currently have the capital to buy a house in cash? Or were you thinking of mortgaging a home and renting it out? The latter is a liability and not an asset. You might find this video helpful (starting at around 38 minutes): https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/etf.asp

If you're talking about websites or FBA for example there's some truth there, but I could make the counter argument that you can now leverage many tools and Ai to grow traffic substantially quicker without running ads. If you're talking about offline like a carpet cleaning business then I don't really see it. But overal I say it's much easier today than 15 years ago.

@Keryo Koffa what does your name mean?
