But this is not really true. You make it sound like it's an objective criteria while it is not. First you must be awake, alive, not sick, not doing something else, not drowning in water, not too tired. You must be potent to procreate, not too young or old. And you must also be in a certain mind state to even notice these women, not too occupied with work. So when these THOUSANDS of criteria are met, then you also filter out on certain looks. And this happens automatically, so how can it be superficial? Unless maybe you're making a list or something. Is it superficial that you only want to breathe in fresh air and not car fumes? Is it superficial when you're eating your favorite foods? Why aren't you eating my favorite foods? Did you feel less superficial opening this thread? 😝

You mean share my profile on here? Hell no 😂 @Hojo oh shit you're right, I forgot about that. I remember literally thinking a few months ago: "dating apps must be terrible now because of Ai, I definitely won't use them again". Then I started to travel and voila.

Yeah I've thought about it some more. I guess that animals only care about food and stuff, then humans have broader interests, and then God cares about literally everything.

Why the hell is animals not caring about reality their defining mark? They also don't care about movies, trying shoelaces or poetry. Animals don't care about anything, they are inconsiderate bastards.

This is hilarious. Microsoft is removing many of the AI functions from Windows 11. Can you see the hype yet? https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/windows-11/microsoft-is-reevaluating-its-ai-efforts-on-windows-11-plans-to-reduce-copilot-integrations-and-evolve-recall

That's not even related to women per se. At a Tony Robbins event or similar you'll see about 50% women, 50% men. The mainstream consciousness is just shockingly low. The longer you do this work, the greater the contrast gets.

@Adrian colby that's interesting. Like I said I've only dated one girl in this category and she called herself trans. She was definitely psychologically female, it was noticeable. Also physically you probably couldn't tell she wasn't born female, very attractive. So I guess I meant trans then instead of ladyboys.

Complaining about Chaos: So I must like the chaos or something, i don't know. I am creating massive chaotic challenges for myself and then I complain about them. At the same time others would describe me as quiet and restful person. It's just strange how life works. I've done more in the past 30 days than I have in the whole 2 years before that, in the sense of travel and challenges. At home things were much more peaceful, predictable, here it's not. I figured I could exchange my skills for a place to stay. This Ram Das ashram said I was welcome. I thought I could stay there immediately, but with all the paperwork and processing it could take up to a month. I don't wanna sit in Lisbon for another month, I wanna go to Bangkok. Yes I want to live at retreats in exchange for my services while I build my business online, but I don't think I'm ready to do full sacrifice at an ashram, which is what I think they expect me to do, especially if I need to wait another month in expensive and rainy Lisbon. Anyway who cares. My point is that I do all this shit, but when my ego kicks in it solidifies reality into that specific moment, through that specific lens and says "this is how reality is and it sucks". But that's false. Again I've done more the past month than the 2 years prior. So at least I'm doing shit that will be fun to think back on when I'm old. It just doesn't seem fun right now. Even just the fact that I am now complaining and focusing on this instead of just working to grow my income is the old frequency trying to keep my energy in place. Manifestation: The principles of manifestation are so simple: live in the outcome, don't react emotionally. But in practice, that's not how it always goes. When my money gets dangerously low, to the point where I can't pay for my hostel anymore or buy food, I don't become more calm and living in the desired outcome. No, I usually react to that emotionally. Now weirdly enough, things always work out. If they didn't, I wouldn't be here. Money never runs out, it always comes back, or else I would have ran out of money years ago lol. But no, it's always there somehow. I think the trick to building stability is by having emotional stability. I'm getting better at it, but nowhere near perfect. Really these challenges are perfect. When I got to my hostel in Porto a few weeks ago I just started socializing, even went out drinking and got sick. But the game is so empty, so hollow, nothing good comes from that. I just stopped working on my business and on myself and for what? Feeling slightly worse afterwards. I'd rather be alone, introspective and growing than be social, outwards and left with nothing. Measuring My State: The good thing about staying at hostels is that I am constantly around other people, so I can easily measure my internal state. Am I open, spacious and kind? Then my energy is probably expansive. Am I reserved and sort of treating others as obstacles? Then I'm probably going in the wrong direction emotionally. So there's a balance where I am still introspective and working on my shit while also being open enough to allow for the outside world. The game is not: work more. It's not about getting more hours in. It's about expanding my awareness to see what's really going on and where the opportunities lie. I just need 700 euros to get to Bangkok. That money is already there and very easy to obtain. All I need is for my mind to align with that reality, that's literally the whole game. But step 1 is to see that that's the game in the first place. What is life but some movie being projected upon my consciousness? But it's infinitely more dynamic than a movie. There is a reality right now where today I make the 700 euros needed for the flight and I fly before Monday. I just need to energetically align with that reality, but that's the whole challenge. Knowing this is one thing, embodying it is another. This applies not just to the 700 euros, but to making $10K pm, or $300K pm. To consciousness it's the same thing! Same consciousness, different movie. Same consciousness, different beliefs, different reactions, different images. Same thing.

Challenging Shit: Feeling a bit exhausted. Finally did a proper 5x5 workday yesterday, which was satisfying but also not really. This is probably all the old frequency just saying hi. Made a blanket sale on Etsy yesterday, that was pretty cool. Emailed more retreats yesterday, this time in Madeira, for volunteering my tech skills in exchange for a stay. Did 25 Whatsapp messages yesterday. This could be quite scalable. If you make a bot that scrapes Google Maps, then verifies the Whatsapp accounts, then builds the websites and send the messages in bulk then you're golden. I'm doing super challenging shit, no fucking shit it's challenging. Not only am I starting my business, I am also doing it with no money and no income. That absurd. But not only that, no, I am also traveling. Not only that, but I am traveling and staying at hostels so I have no stability. No fucking shit it's challenging - I have to balance finding my next place to stay, finding customers, building systems, managing my routine while dodging these unexpected situations. Then I have to manage my own mindset, regulate my sleep in an unpredictable envoirment. God, it's a miracle I haven't gone insane yet. I mean, I have to keep an abundant mindset while not being able to pay for a workspace where I can sit quietly, not being able to do my laundry, the list goes on and on. The main challenge is noise, but if I have more income I would stay at private rooms, so really the main challenge is income. Either way, I wanted this. When I was in my comfort zone I barely made any real moves. I chose to live with my fantasies about business instead of doing business. I would have never done this Whatsapp outreach back home - too scary and not aligned with my fantasies. Now I'm doing real shit. Let's look into Madeira again. Is it possible to live there at the same cost as here? Roughly €20 per night with similar grocery expenses. If so, then I can stay there until the Ram Das retreat. Of course I prefer a place to stay for free in exchange for volunteering work. Cheapest private I could find on Booking.com = €28 per night, with others at €30 and €35. Hostels: €26 on Airbnb or €12 per night for a tent lol But really, this is just filler. I wanted to go to South East Asia, not Europe. It costs €519 to get to Bangkok: That layover it too tight. But you get my point. Once in Bangkok I'll have a much cheaper time. You can get a freakin studio for €11 per night! So I just need to get to Bangkok, then I'm in a much better spot cuz it's 3 to 4 times cheaper.

What do you mean by this? I though ladyboy was just the word they used in Thailand for this 'third gender'.

But that also look like a dude to me. I am hoping for chicks at the level of this video:

Is Da Nang any better?

Lol 😂

Dunno if this has been shared here before but this whole documentary is a fantastic piece of money psychology. This is just a clip:

@Fountainbleu I definitely will! After the misery of last week some very interesting things came on my path that I will be posting about. My safety was stagnation, now is time for growth. And to grow, I have to let go of control sometimes. Let go of what's familiar to make room for progress. Currently on a bus from Porto to Lisbon 🚌🇧🇫

Technically, doesn't everyone hallucinate people? Do I remember correctly that earlier you were skeptical of Indian gurus doing magical, impossible things? Why this distinction?

Carving and pottery You might think of these videos as pure hobby but she gets millions of views, and more sales than she can fulfill I bet.

I have the same thing, although there was a time where I would just hug every girl I met as a greeting, works quite well. But I think it's also cultural. In South American culture people are much more physical than in Europe.

I feel you man, I feel the same right now. Stress, and it's pouring rain. Lots of uncertainty in these kinds of situations. Gotta tap from within and start living in the desired reality right now

Pretty close to how Leo sees it? This is of course a mock interview and meant to be funny.

Digital Nomad: I've made my first important step on the journey and have started living as a digital nomad this year. So far it's been more challenging that I had anticipated. My theory was that I could just live anywhere I want, not realizing that travel comes with all sorts of additional problems and distractions from my work. Like it rains here every day, even though I came here for better weather, but they don't have central heating. I got really sick with the flu. Am slowly starting to hate this place. All my mental strength and optimism was appearantly just grounded in the stability of my living situation. Without it, I'm a different person, not for the better. I almost miss the stability of my old life, but there's no turning back. It's annoying because in the Netherlands I was so comfortable that I didn't feel motivated enough to try harder in my business. Now I am super annoyed, perhaps I will try harder but is that worth it? In Porto now, really sick of this place already, will travel to Bangkok and Bali soon.

Just found this type of breathing, it's been helpful. It's basically long breaths and then half the time and again half of that. I feel the effects much quicker and stronger than when I do Wim Hof, but should probably try a longer session.

It's just entertainment videos, nothing more. Was mass entertainment more intelligent when you were growing up?

I don't see the problem, it's not like you need to live this other person's life. Socialization is just about vibes. Then when finished you can go do something alone again.

I don't find this extraordinary. This is just very basic self help talk, Tony Robbins etc. And that's of course where gemini got its training data.
