In my experience, thinking in terms of levels of consciousness/energy seems very reasonable. When you access better levels, clarity, creativity, connection, love opens up to you and you discover that dissatisfaction is very much based on "energy" and limited paradigms. It may not be too obvious because we tend to be stuck for long periods in low levels of perception. But if you break through at least once, you get it. In my experience, fasting, yoga, and psychedelics worked well. You have to find what is powerful and can elevate you. Rationalizing and complaining about how you think reality is doesn't help too much.

Learn marketing, create some VFX super packs, put it or any other stuff to sell automatically, and go do whatever you want. That's it.

First, regarding level up your "skills", I think that you have to balance a lot with what feels natural for you, for the girl, and for the moment. A golden rule for me is not wanting to be performative like a porn actor and instead, do things with patience, being present, and having fun. About the toys, I have some experience with vibrators like "magic wand" and it is probably the most functional toy you'll find out there. Haha, I like it a lot and some girls go fucking crazy. But again, you have to be balanced, honest, and to know how and when to use it (not rocket science). DM if you need!

Are you aware of models, contents, and teachers available out there to help you exactly with this process? I'm not sure if a forum is the best place to find this kind of answer. You can research about iconscious model and try to get a conversation with Ted Strauss.

How is it possible for some people to live for their ego, full of mundane experiences, sex, orgies, status, appearances, and at the same time they seem so woke and living from elevated states of consciousness, enjoying absolute freedom, alignment with the universe, connection and love? Maybe this is just appearances and I'm deluded about these people. But this theory is hard to accept. The only answer I had is that maybe they have a great relationship with psychedelics and have amazing awakenings every time they want to. Does someone know a person like this? Someone could explain such a thing?

I want to get aligned. Sometimes I feel like I'm moving towards higher frequencies, acceptance, and harmony. I'm doing yoga, praying, exercising. But I'm suffering from addiction (smoking and coffee). And I feel like stuck in density. And it's taking too much time to overcome so I feel lost and hopeless sometimes. My mind is disturbing me all day long talking about spirituality while most of the time I'm motivated only for pursuing sex. I believe in myself to get through it. I know I can overcome all this shit. I ALREADY DID IT before. But this conflict is taking too long.

Talking to her, at the end of the day, depends on how badly do you want it. Even the most healthy, confident, and handsome guys, even dating coaches can feel as much afraid as you are. So, this shit is part of the game. Whatever you choose, do it as an act of love for yourself. But I suggest to enjoy the terror and go ahead, you can have fun and growth even in the worst-case scenario. Remember that this specific challenge with the girl and the results of it will not define who you are. Will not make you a loser or a superhero. I think you are wrong about this perspective, please, reflect upon it and take it easy! I would suggest you watch some James Marchal infield approaches that feel very natural and human as a way to get inspired. But I think these videos are off now. Anyway, you don't need them, and if you really want to talk to her which I think you do, you don't have much time to lose. Say hello, ask her name. You can even say that you are creeped out with the situation (if you want to). But look at her eyes and tell the truth. The truth that you want to take her on a date.

Don't be stuck in too much rationality about it. What you are telling yourself is that you need to have absolute control of things in a mechanical way and that isn't true. For sure you can think about it. Just don't get lost or limit yourself in this need for manipulation. Things will reveal themselves along the way. As you meet her, it becomes clear to you what is good for both in terms of activities. About places, I suggest two things: 1. Don't fuck the logistics and the good atmosphere for interaction. 2. If you go a bit outside of the box sometimes, you become interesting. Use your creativity and common sense to make this bet. No need to be spider-man here. Just get the notion that you can venture. (alternative concerts, nature, art galleries, romantic places...)

My sleep was healthy before taking 2.5g of mushrooms some years ago, After it, a had insomnia for some months. I got better after using EFT, but still taking too long to fall asleep. Recently I took a small dose of LDS and can't sleep again for more than a week. My doctor prescribed a med that "works" but I'm avoiding because it only helps when I take it, don't solve my insomnia and I'm developing resistance. I would love to know if someone passed through something similar. Thank you!

Could you describe it better? Is it some behavior or desire?

SOMA breath gave me almost instant relief. It's free and worth trying. I suggest visiting their website.

I'm really curious about it. He has great feedbacks from Tonny Solo who is a good guy into pick up I think. I'm wondering if his course isn't just some meditations contextualized with non-duality theory and bla bla

Hey guys! Just returned a few days ago from a solo 5 days retreat. I did a lot of meditation + kundalini and kriya yoga practices combined with fruits diet and 2 days fasting. AAaaaaaannd..... as soon as I returned I perceived consistent results in my spirituality. I'm amazed because these are the first results I could really see without using psychedelics (YEEAH IT'S POSSIBLE!! <3). Among these effects, yesterday while I was driving, I had a strong feeling of love and connection with existence combined with synchronicities and insights. But along this experience, I perceive myself feeling some discomfort and fear. It's like if I was alternating between this connection with the divine and total ignorance about life and existence and feeling lost. Then my mind comes in, and I had some conflicting and neurotic thoughts. For example, I was listening to a song and the singer said something deeply aligned with what I was thinking. But after that, my mind started to consider in a paranoid way, all the songs as if they are communicating personally with me. So I'd like to ask you: How can I avoid to be trapped in this kind of paranoia? How can I better differentiate true insights from crazy thinking? And how people like Leo can do such intense psychedelic trips and be safe against confusion in these "places" where reality is being so deeply questioned? Much love for all of you!

When you do self-inquiry you can recognize the witnessing awareness. Them you focus on it (or just be it) during a meditation session. What is the difference between this simple recognition and the so-called "AHA MOMENT" when people break free from ego identification? This practice leads you to a gradual awareness of yourself as awareness or there is some flip point in this process? Thank you!

You'll find it in Kriya Yoga Exposed

If you are reading the books Leo suggested in his video, you can search for Santata Gamana books in Amazon. He has a simpler approach and is also a Leo's recommendation. And this channel has videos about KYSR book: https://www.youtube.com/user/ManojTheYogi

I really appreciate all these high-quality answers. I think that what you guys said is being perceived in my experience. My conception of surrendering was generating hard internal struggles. Thank you also for the resources, I will check it carefully. Please, everyone feel free to keep discussing it.

I'm curious about how do you relate to "surrendering" as a spiritual posture. Can you really let go? (desires, plans, expectations, fears...) Is this a decision that can be made? Why you don't let go? If you have done it, how is your progress happening? How to let go? Something made you understand and embody it in an easier way? Thank you!

When your desire for life and your passions are fucking intense, them, neurosis, anxiety, doubt, and guilt seems to be part of it. Enlightenment is the only way out? Can a person grow emotionally and have peace while facing uncertainty and avoid frustration? Is it possible to be emotionally above human emptiness and neediness? If so, what would be the solution? Good mindsets? Hight vibration? Personality change? Thank you!

Many authors that I see in the industry are telling just "push yourself!" "go out!", "stop excuses!" "fix your inner game!". But is it a good way? I can approach, I can have sex. Not veeeery easily, but I think I can. I did it! But didn't see the growth. Today I see my thoughts and energy being spent with all this PUA idea. And I can do all the game. But when TRUE internal change will happen in this context? I can't see it. I'm asking myself if the PUA is making me better with woman as its purposes. Because I feel the opposite. I feel trapped in this hunting energy. I feel my awareness narrowing. Maybe my focus should be more on other self-development areas at this moment.

Perfectly! Thanks for your sincere and coherent points! I'm seeing some movements in which the guys simply abstain from chasing woman and focus on "conquering the world", sometimes under the delusional idea that when they get one million dollars, women will be attracted to them and things will be solved this way. I don't agree with that mindset. I do think you have to talk to people and connect, sometimes randomly, also develop the ability to do it better. Along you porsuit other things in life. But the "chasing" behavior is really what was fucking the whole thing for me.

I think that I feel pretty much a similar situation. I'm doing meditation and yoga for some time and I had already this experience of non-judmental almost pure observation of experience. The point is that I couldn't apply true surrendering in my life yet, I feel myself a bit fucked up so I feel very attached to self-improvement and my self agenda in a very neurotic way. Today I realized how much both paths are conflicting and limiting my progress. Because the gain of consciousness may be showing to myself how pointless are the ego's desperate actions to get fulfillment.

What I would like to discuss here is the possibility of the existence of a subtle social game based on selfish interests. By "interests" I don't mean the obvious, for example, political alliances in the pursuit of power. But I'm wondering about the bases of most basic human connections. What are the factors that allow true friendship or companionship to happen? How much is it common for people to "select" other people to connect with based on their prejudice or occult interests. Again, I'm trying to look more into subtle aspects here not just the obvious kinds prejudice we are used to talk about. It would be good to have some books or references about it too. Thank you!

Would love to hear some trip report based on this manual!
