  1. Daily 5-20km depends on the mood. Using Strava for timing(on smartphone, no briz briz or gizmos attached). Salomon Speed crosses Vario 2- shoes. And pretty much that's it. Plant-based diet but running on an empty stomach right after the meditation (or at least I try) otherwise I get side stitches.
  2. Thank you, Leo and Happy Birthday (although you weren't born - ha ha)!
  3. Hey I keep having a bunch of ideas of how should I proceed with learning, reading, writing, etc. But when I get down to it I noticed how unorganized my life is. From a music Playlist to my journal and one note or the books on my shelf everything seems to be a mess. And then this becomes a distraction in itself because now I have to arrange things ?? How do you learn to organize yourself. I pretty much keep myself a minimalist style. The problem is that the moment after I arranged my clothes or books and I pick something up from the "pile" everything gets back to square one. Are there any books to look into? Any suggestions would be greatly helpful. Cheers
  4. This resonates with me. I find out that I lose the ability to set up goals. Whenever I had a holiday, or time off work, instead of maximising the potential of it, I was just, "meahhh,,, nothing to rush or to do today". And this builds up in a downward spiral making me sleeping all day. The work schedule is the biggest problem at the moment as I am working nights shifts with different start/finish times each week so I can't create a consistent pattern. I am doing 1 hour of meditation including Kriya (J.C. Stevens), run 5-20 km almost daily followed by cold showers and healthy plant-based cooking. The problem arises when I have free time and after I wake up I just postpone those habits till the end of the day sometimes. It's a motivational problem? Do I lose the big picture? I will attend a vipassana retreat in May and after it, I will have to change this job and re-plan all my life. Could you tell me which type of "real yoga" or where to find it? And I guess to accommodate it I have to cut off some running. Do you do it daily? Thank you all!
  5. I think you can grow 10x faster doing it alone. If you watch day gamers, they are doing it most by themselves. Sure the situation differ if you are going to the club. I have been to the club alone (also no props like alcohol and/or drugs) and start to talk to girls and although people notice that you are alone and you feel like you want to run, doing it alone grows you a lot. And people around you know that it takes a lot of balls to be there by your own. A wing might help nonetheless but in the end you have to face your own fears. All in all don't let the fact that you don't have a wing put you down. Good luck ?
  6. I always thought that Leo is 5'7-5'10. Probably the hair adds up he he ?
  7. After the meditation habit this is the most helpful and effective help that I could get. I didn't know anything about nootropics and when I was seeing people talking or recommending props I was was dismissing them, considering just another marketing scam or health dangerous substances. One year ago I was struggling to watch a head to tail video (usually after 5 min I was starting another video). Not even talking about reading. Now everything is so smooth ?Sure I don't use those daily but spread them here and there when I need them the most. Thank you very much for spreading the wisdom ?
  8. Finally, spring is here; or is summer already?
  9. I'm not sure what kind of discussion do you intend to have on this trend but I am keen to post more of "How on Earth" type of material. So today I have found this megalith structure, weight over 1200 tones, beautiful finne cut and transported for a quarry found miles away. HOW? Have a look
  10. Hey there, Does reading the starts, cards, horoscope, predicting the future helps? If you are aware of even partially of what is going to happen, wouldn't you change the path of whatever you expect, even slightly and involuntary? Or you may argue that "you don't have any control and all the actions are taken for you". In this case I may choose to do nothing and to expect the premonition to take place. Did I sound too... blue-ish? Hopefully not. Thanks ?? ?
  11. @HarikrishnanGood pragmatic point ??
  12. @JkrisCheers
  13. @Leo GuraThe last video that I post on different threads remain embedded into the message box and when I want to post something new, I can't delete the old video. This is for Chrome on Android.
  14. I'll just leave this here. Why, how, who ? mystery
  15. @Zigzag IdiotI am not so familiar with Gurdjieff or his work but I am listening now to Beezelbub's Tale. About Atlantis they(egyptologist, researchers) still make predictions of where it was located and although they want to say "oh we found those evidence, thus the Atlantis really exists... But we are not sure if it was here or there" On another train of thought, I was hoping to see some light on the pyramids and the Sphinx dating using the discovery or the ancient site of Göbekli Tepe. Well not so fast. The excavation will be hold for many years to come probably. Why? Remember what happened with the two huge Buddha statues in late 90's in Afghanistan? Well they're afraid that this is possible to happen with Göbekli Tepe due to Islamic war. So till the Arabic countries and Turkey will evolve to stage green, many water will flow down the Nile. Plus the paradigm locked of the archaeological academy whom will not accept to change all their notions about the ancient Egypt. I have had a word with with a guy from Cairo, whom I have met him at a Meet-up organisation, and he told me that the pyramids looks nice from the distance but as you get close you will realise that the government doesn't take care of them and there is a lot of corruption going around. Maybe its just me seeing the world a bit negative or maybe I am too skeptic ? Anyway, thank you ♥
  16. Hey, I am at lesson 7 and I am a bit confused " 4. Repeat step 3 for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th chakras and Medulla. Pause twice: once for chakra duration at Medulla; and then before chanting as you come back down for the 5th 4th 3rd 2nd and 1st chakras..." Question What is different of chanting OM at Medulla than the rest of the chakras? What happens with the 7th chakra? Skip? How long should the pause be? As I see it so far works like this: 1,2,3,4,5 pause, medulla, pause medulla, 5,4,3,2,1. Am I right? Thank you!
  17. Have you taken a PUA course? If yes, which one and how satisfy are you with the result? Which one would you recommend? Any course or PUA to be avoided? Many thanks *** If there was a topic on this subject, sorry but the search function does not return any results.
  18. Thanks
  19. @Girzo Does the course focus only on night/club game or it can be applied on day game as well. Also, have you experience growth in other areas like productivity, organising, financial, etc...? @JohnnyBravo Sure, I am aware that all pick-up is based on marketing but drilling down the internet without a clear map can waste you lots of time and most of the time the information presented is incomplete (or at least that's how I see it). Plus, even if I get over the initial phrase and get her number, I suck at texting and following up. Then watching all those free videos can be nice, but you know that when you pay for something, you tend to give it more value, thus motivating you to take action. I know that the motivation has to be intrinsic but I am still in the newbie sector Thank you for sharing- -Saha and Johny-- it's a bit challenging these days to find some quality information. About Steve P ...he's funny a funny fucker :)) @RawJudah I have watched a few clips of James before and he seems genuine. I am thinking to buy his texting pack for £79 I think, as I do not have any texting skills. I guess if you want to learn something you have to give something, Ain't such a thing as free meals Thank you all for your replies
  20. Hey, how to reply to people who notice that you are not drinking alcohol, while they have already 3 beers down on their throats? When people ask me why I don't drink alcohol, I can see how they scan me to see if I am sick. I can reply by saying "why should I?" or " it's not good for your health" but this will make the situation awkward. One time a guy from a meetup group, at the notice that I am having some juice cocktail is asking me "...then why are you here (in the pub)... ". And I replied, " for socialising". This made him look at me like I am someone suspicious. Other times a group of girls and guys were chatting about going out and get drunk. Some guys were saying that they don't drink alcohol due to religious reasons. Then the girls asked me if I drink alcohol, and when I replied "no", they just turned around and not even bother to talk to me anymore. So how should I approach those situations?
  21. Yeah, I guess you have to have a bit of leeway in the way you approach the situation. You can easily fall into snob category, acting like a deer in a field full of lions ???
  22. Thanks guys. Much appreciate your replies. I guess I'll have too pick and choose depending on the situation ??
