I don't have the skills to help, I am socially quiet good, but not at game and due to injury I lost a huge edge on game. Even when I had the original intention to do so more consciously it's not easy in the ages of Andrew Tate to do this consciously and fun&playful as many "good guys" are dissuaded from just going out and talking to girls, and it's mostly liberterian types who run amok and are unhealthy, smoke cigarettes, cigares (if you do it once two years or so okay or are on an episode) take narcotics and cocain, and scream freedom like some sort of bastardization of god/animal. They also most likely all gather at such places, instead of more normal orange type stuff that is just materalistic. No one is active in game groups, and the PUA group I was in I left as nobody is nearby and it's just toxic af. For a more conscious example I went out with quiet a conscious guy who is into self-help and other stuff, we approached some girls, he was high-level and our characters do match, yet I am still a newb to this. He was still very motivational about this and just saw this sort of "illusion of social game" and approached and worked his magic, and it was great. Most are not ready to undertake endeavours of approaching girls consciously and are on a power trip he did not drink and I drank a tiny bit of whisky 1 shot the whole evening and then just water it was legit like healthy sports to just talk to girls and get better at a skill and it was fun, I had to laugh also how fast this goes, it would be better to realize a life purpose and exercise power that way and bring that to getting laid and game, without the mysogny and toxicity, yet that takes again extra mental effort and experimentation/style. It's not even a complaint just a fact, that Leo posts generally the most high quality posts and practical insights, that is why I am here. I share this with friends and family and we help each other, yet the shadyness of the forum could be ended, so you have more quality posts and not random PUA sh*t talk. That turns into bigotry and racism, sexism in 30 minutes, as soon as one more conscious opinion comes to the forefront and just generally. This really rubbs off and I have to consider leaving completely and or getting my account banned on purpose etc. So I don't have to engage in this kind of damaging narrative and worldviews. That is the fundamental issue I have with the forum. The level of ethnocentrism and mysogny and sexism that just rubbs off at one point. I don't enjoy it it's extremly toxic, the same goes for this type of semi-toxic modern women empowerment, it's just odd and there is no real social solution to this currently besides some integral stuff and perspectives, yet to embody this is also not easy etc. ' I wasted my valueable time mostly, looking for a connection that is not truly there, and often having to deal with some level of ego mania or serious mental health issue. Some people are just not ready and I have to realize and accept this truth.

Same the quality of the forum went down, by showing it's shadow side of insecure men, who can't get laid, all of this would not have been an issue if people actually had a gf, a family or a deep life purpose. I basically stalked Leo and the quality of the forum, as I see someone beign highly succesful who has been banned here, and I sort of see both sides, yet I wanted to keep track of both sides.

Bottom G is way cooler than Andrew Tate. If he would just be a normal red-light district owner, without all of the b.s he'd actually be cool, yet Andrew Tate is just toxic as hell and profits from insecure kids. A lot of people who like him have drug problems, are sexist, and are down right xenophobic and or ethnocentric. He benefits from underdeveloped kids. The guy grew up without a father, and I bet he attracts the same type of guys who see this "gangster lifestyle" as beign masculine etc. etc. There is so much wrong with this. This does not work, maybe if you can hide it, yet generally speaking it's really for the bottom-tier of people or screwed manipulators and exploitators, and sensationalists who can't get enough drama. I bet you can cut a video of my cat in the garden playing with yarn, being more inspirational the reason because this is motivating to you is because of sensational qualities.... the music, the sound, the voice of the guy etc. I don't know how self-deceived you have to be it's like rooting for the mafia and drug cartels. Instead of having a more grounded perspective on this. etc.

I am quiet enthusiastic about working at the new company as they seem very conscious in contrast to what I've witnessed in my life, it's like a big company with start up feelings and excellent perks, I was invited to their welcome days for two days, and I have to make some minor preperations and it's also an excellent opportunity to network again and meet other human beigns. I had a lot of insights the last years, and I noticed how self-deceived I was by fundamentally a lot of stuff, that even includes actualized.org, and I notice I do better if I interact less with the website, and integrate the practical advice, yet my value of leadership and most likely my level of narccicism in beign an authority has been a thorn in my eyes. I re-visited my values for the n'th time this year and finally made the decision to change the majority of it, and I noticed this was an intended part of the LP course. I noticed over the last years with all the consciouness expierments and mental health crisises I've been through how some fundamental deeper values have been rising, as well as how important beign successful to me is and having friends with drive and ambition, who enjoy beauty especially. The beauty of reality & nature and not only survival and being some dominating creature. I re-evaluated my values to the following and will continue today, to get a very deep integration and continue with this proccess most likely for the next few years, and deeply build passions and strengths. I've took multiple personality tests, besides the MBTI, HEXACO, Enneagram, Pennsilvenia University Strenght & Happiness Finder etc, so again other personality tests! I am not listing now!. I discovered new patterns of my personality & character that are extremely important to me and also value based. For example the biggest insight I had was how low I score on anxiety as a value, while having been in fear and panic a lot the last couple of years, and I found the laughable cultprit almost, and how detail oriented this flaw finding is, and how connected it was to my real life. (Spoiler: It was simply coffee & the connection it had to my family history and modernity & meritocracy). I also received new insights about my family history of the U.S where I barely have any conscious memory of and it has been a struggle to many can not comprehend how much energy and work it takes to move a country, and to go through the bureaucracy of it. The emotional labour of it is immense. Anyhow, I re-configured my values currently through all of this inner work, and I am very focused upon practical integration. My dating life has become better, I left some PUA group as I saw how scummy and disgusting low lifes these humans are and I started to hate myself to be associated with drug taking power lords who can't give proper feedback, and how they act as if "Truth" is material reality and are in denial about so much, my stomach just turns. My career options just most likely 100x'ed it, I am beign offered a hotel as working student to attend some greeting I find it amazing. I found out what I am fundamentally motivated in life, it's mastery, meaning and autonomey. As well as my fundamental weakness is balance, while a core strenght of mine is innovation, which dovetails with curiosity from the LP course. (Insights from different personality tests). I've been meeting utterly deep and profound people via online-dating apps, just by estimating their character and I am so inclined to give my best to life my life to the fullest. I digressed a bit, yet here is my new value list. Consciouness & Awareness Beauty Exellence Health/Vigor/Energy Wisdom Passion/Enthusiasm Mastery Truth Love/Romance/Intimacy Leadership I did some changes, after I've been a bit skull f*ked by the new university, yet I basically exercise my power and I intruige people, I completely forgot that I have an intrinsic depth to me that I developed through mastery of conscious leadership and working with other more conscious humans, as it DOES NOT WORK WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NO INTERESTED AND READY FOR IT. I will re-do their meanings I completely forgot how important the value of truth to me was to not self-deceive myself and how much I immensely value beauty. Due to contradictory experiences. I asked myself some questions and will integrate this with a success journal to be very practical about values, and self-motivation and steps. I for example never noticed how much I enjoy taking care of my physical appearance and the benefits of socialization I get from it, it's a true holonic feeling I can't deny. I feel whole and healed in a sense, by seeing and enjoying beauty in all of it's forms and it helps me immensely with hatred and compassion. To see the beauty in everything etc. Mathematics, coding project creation, creation of form itself etc. Why am I making this post? I originally was intersted in what insights helped you to realize your life purpose, the amount of inner work that can be done is exhausting and I'd like to balance things out more, and be aware when I take more action and plan. As I took a lot of reflection and this takes an immense amount of maturity and integrity I don't frankly see in others, so I notice I am more than ready to take on real leadership roles and responsibilities, as I don't have this type of attitude. I'd still be interested in what you insight and realization made you help to realize and love life? This is fundamentally the reason of my post. Be it may that you saw the beauty of a tortoise swimming in the ocean etc. Seeing someone give money to homeless people. I am very proud of myself how fast I recovered the last year, and how much I can let go and still create the life I yearn to, even when I deep down know how "disgusting" I find humans, I know I love human existence fundamentally deep down, I thought more about honoring the work Leo provided and look past his character, as I can find some biases I don't enjoy, the level of practical insights I got from him are unmatched. As well as it feels like I am building deep self-love and joy for existence. What I will do the next year and coming years? The practical steps I intuit are the following: Buying a guitar to play funk and connect back to beauty and passion of existence Build even deeper coding expertise and move to the U.S and build some income stream Conscious integration of these values, for e.g beauty is more important than clarity and order to me, it entails both Work consciously with a success journal on goals, and beign more patient with results 30 minute meditations instead of 1h, do psychdelics instead of retreats, and the cherry on top, if I get more time after finishing studies to retreats and switch. 30 minute of shadow work shamanic breathing (if possible) Upgrade the experience I have in software engineering, build more on real world projects (finally) Continue my exercise programm I changed due to injury I bet 4-5 times to just experiment with what works Practical Intuition & Wisdom, living more from beauty, wisdom and mastery Be on a path career path where I can earn 300k+ USD, so I can buy a house and create multiple income streams Networking a lot more These are the more practical steps, I don't find it easy to be practical and often I just do it and I don't even know how practical I am and have become. Some stuff could have been simply be done faster, yet I have to also see what is possible. I'd definitely would like to get some real leadership positions and talk and find some mentors. There are still some inner qualms I have and a lot changed, I'd like to share this progress and ultimately be grateful for the practial advice Leo is giving & sharing. I hope I can seriously find a place where I can solve human problems and mankind problems as well as be conscious and work on having a conscious family without children etc. There is so much beauty in existence I yearn to experience. Also nightime and going out meeting some real people again, not fake PUA's who act like immature self-deceived kids when it comes to advice. Thanks again for all of the work I hope the questions I wrote down in private will ultimately be the path of creation I yearn to create. I really love to see and feel progress, and I hope with this new structure and experience I can finally still have the adventure I yearned for. There is a lot more very subtle progress, yet letting this values sink in for the next couple of months and giving them new definitions today is already fantastic. I attracted also some new more and or less conscious friends, so I am very glad. I notice how I can walk the walk of being sponatenous and structured also more. I also watched and listend to Leo's happiness episode again, and saw the quote from Leibnitz about divinity. I was utterly overwhelmed with joy, that my base intuition was right, when I first landed here and generally when I research wisdom. That there are a lot of similarities I have insight wise and also a clear difference. I just experience material reality a lot differently, and I know what I yearn for ... and I basically most likely will make this possible. I'd love to share this also, as I've been overprojected on in my life, and I wish at times people would stop and seriously praise effort. I am 30 minutes into this.

You sound like a conservative cult leader. You're advice does not function for someone like me and I will fundamentally work with higher consciouness people with whom I'll be working with as the culture of the company is extremely modern. Nothing like this type of human enslavement message. Making it about hard work and moral and christian faith, like some fundamentalist sheep. You sound like some rigid toxic stage orange stuck materalist, who lacks social skills and seriously lacks them and some immature conservative kid that just wants to dominante and can't properly negotiate. I've seen plenty of computer scientist beign some christian dog for some lame as company and they don't progress, it's over with this shit. The decadence will even win out over this attitude. Don't get me wrong I work a lot, yet there is a difference between working smart and hard, as well as living wu-wei. Well behaved squares would be the death of me, this will not happen. You certainly sound like some manipulative and conservatively arrogant gaslighting type of power driven white man. You're seriously dead where I am working at, I am glad so at best keep your advice for yourself. I am also out if this forum turns to right-wing attitude like. Your advice is as basic as you and you are fundamentally to self-deceived to see your own shit. Your entire world view functions on the world view of merit alone and beign a sheep. You don't comprehend also the complexity most likely socially and are ignorant people like you are ignored mostly and fundamentally I will not work with someone like you. You do you. I am glad I avoided this attitude in the current company. I will not work for some control freak. GL with your message I am pretty sure you'll be banned and your advice is also pretty bad and so basic, what kind of power trip are you on? To give such basic advice, and project issues that are not even there. Talking to you I bet people get depression and you laugh about it. Also leave me tf alone with christian stuff, you're insane in my eyes. If you have success it must be at some extremely basic company for some extremely basic and non-creative purpose. I ignore you from now on and leave the forum again, if I could sue you for your message I would. "well behaved squares" "you sound naive" "moderate talent" Bro, I have never seen worse social skills, all you most likely have done is manipulate kind people. I am disgusted with people like you. Go to the military and or smth. yet leave creatives alone. Go watch your Jordan Peterson and pray to some christian chruch and continue your ethnocentric warfare against humanity. You are ignored. Got work and live in China before you open your mouth to me seriously, you are disgusting.

Embedded Computing is interesting I so far have mainly been in application development for mobile phones, very nische in a sense and now into A.I I find it difficult due to lack of exposure of projects I like application development of any kind the most so far, wether that is A.I and or robotics. I am not that much of a hardware fan. The most fun conceptually I have with insights and real data, I'd love to work as a data scientist machine learning engineer and or nlp programmer and I am checking computer lingusitc and data science next.I intuit this is more where my heart could be, and others pointed to this. I really enjoy generating insights from data, and information itself. At the new work place I will work on their internal e-learning plattform as first project, I find it tricky as the most joy I have self-taught, I'd like to see what happens in the real world more, I was so zooned out of this. I wanted to join the robotics thing at my old university and I could not at the new one, they offer more bioinformatics and a.i. Autonemous driving is 100% interesting, as long as it get's not super technical, because at the end it's so much freaking maths my head explodes, I really have to see what I enjoy after finishing some classes. I am happy just coding, I find it difficult to find a nische, yet I have a nische in mind, I'd love to create. Especially with text-to-voice programming type stuff and NLP, I do have to really see how ML is applied in real life, as I am now a Java Dev/Eng so far. I definitely would also enjoy coding for sports widgets and devices, like Garmin, Apple Watch etc user interfaces and their backend. That is also interesting from a design perspective and I love the hidden power of anroid phones so far. I currently do my best to get more into Python, and integrate some interal stuff, as I can't just code all day, and I am also quiet extroverted by temperament, not personality. I hope my friend will join in going to the GamesCom and speaking to developers here in Germany, so I have some insight into that field also. I am unfortunately very versatile, I really love the idea of ChatGPT and NLP has been advised to me a couple of times, I hope computer linguistic and data science in linguistics especially. So far I did not enjoy to much the a.i classes. I would really love to work on a real project first, yet currently my intuition guides me into computer linguistics & data science, due to exposure of mathmatics. I have to see deep learning is quite insane. It's difficult to say due to lack of cool projects, I would also be intersted in coding tools for animations and films, that would be very cool, yet I have no idea who does stuff like this. I am also very influentiable, I could unfortunately not go into robotics, yet I could see myself in finance for example. I love to track stuff and sort of squeeze my inner drive for exellence, especially in finance somehow, that would be also cool. I really have to see. There are some cool projects where the company works with the german federal police, and stuff like this. There is so much, I really have no idea. I mostly look inductive for the patterns of code I enjoy and then would choose to project accordingly. Websdesign is cool, app development is cool, robotics I have never done, a.i stuff is hard, but very cool, helping to reduce the spread of ilnesses and full meta-systemic thinking, based on realtively "advanced, but understandable maths" etc. I really have to see. Also anything that possibly allows for control, and accuracy is interesting, yet I have no idea I like so much, I find it tricky to stay consistent and dive deep then. I really had to implement the value of beauty, I notice when I talked to other extremely good programmers in A.I they all have a touch of beauty to them in how they see code. If I could work for a company that creates bots for text-to-speech implementations etc. So fundamentally I will be heading into computer linguistic combined with A.I & data science apparently I just checked to curriculum if there are interconnections, and there are! It's a bit more me also, as well as NLP, and see how deep I can get to the technical end. I've tested so many waters, I hope this is it. Sorry for typos I find it really difficult to answer, I'd love to get into some form of meta-systemic data analysis.

Erase my human existence and re-incarnate as pure consciousness, after taking millions from banks and train myself to that level, create a law that allows me to change my name and identity everytime I want to. Master the art re-incarnation and DMT, be grateful and just peace out from existence ?. Or take two best friends and a beautiful girlfriend and give us infinite money and make a golden retriever the president of the united states and a persian cat the president of russia. Make a law that allows only these two powers to have animal presidents. But force them to be allies. Allow India to only trade turtouises and force them to regress to their spiritual heights. Give president Xi Jingping mandatory college education (he has no degree as far as I know) and let him rule for 1 year if he does well, he's allowed to pet president Goldy dawg USA and president Persian pussy cat Russia. I'd be happy with my life witnessing them cuddling ?? Oh and people can vote for a new animal president! So definitely dolphins and sharks are possible! But no bears for Russia only baby bear presidents

Construct-Aware is turqouise, unitive is everything beyond turqouise, turqouise still has ego. TIER 3 is without ego, there is a distinction between state-stages and structure-stages in that sense peaks and permanent development. I would not worry, just read up on the fundamentals I did even one course from Ken Wilber and did even practices before that, and consumed audiobooks en masse as I was so amazed when I first heard about the stages of growth. It would be cool if there is a little more clarity. No need to be some technical freakshow, the essentials are sufficient. Yet I could not tell how serious your post was, as it sounded very odd and very mechanistic. Terri O'Fallons defnitions are also great and actually my new favorite! I am not some serious scientist, I just read up on this and consumed a lot of this. What you most likely witnessed is n'th perspective of context/content and just could abstract endlessly that is fundamentally the cognitive growth of these stages & systems in systems in systems thinking etc. So very high TQ,Yellow + & beyond possbily and the lower stages also. That does not include morals and emotions! Which are important. I mean... if you see ego as an processing unit and you can witness how humans function in society and see how disillusioned they are...etc. That is imo a great and quiet mature perspective...

Dude you can't just give it random defnititions. Did you even read the paper? https://www.actualized.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/9-levels-of-ego-development-cook-greuter.pdf I don't really get what you're writting. I dunno I did the courses also, I don't care I am amazed at times. I am also out of this, now this is supposed to be about psychdelics, but yeah. It's okay, they work for me.

It's also a very classic gender oriented review, where it's evident that it's only a girls perspective, irregardless of who wrote the article if it was the guy who created the website, the critique is has a strong feminine perspective. I would not call this a serious review, yet bias towards girls in communities and women perspective about stuff, where it's clearly evident for me that she and the author possibly can't even see her own ethnocentrism and fundamentally lacks later development, but would admit stuff like this possibly. (I am presuming this) Cook-Greuter does an excellent job of explaining this with a holistic gender perspective, calling this hierachcical etc. is a classic regressive green rhetoric and most likely just an attempt for power and to flatten a hierachy that is holarchy, and most likely she never really contemplated it. Calling it colonial and then dating and supporting the white men who caused it I find this a classic sign of lack of 100% integrity, and then beign in denial of stages just shows me why I dislike green. I could see her deeply "racist perspective" and how disgusting it is and how she basically creates this fetishes by her liberal desire, I say this as a liberal. Just watching a brief interview, she's great, but it's extremely difficult to uplift masses of people. Deconstructing everything without proper evidence is quiet immature, and why social science imo currently sucks without better data. It's just opinion. I can see where she is coming from, yet it's an immature academic stage green immature, vanity & hatred driven path and rhetoric. Where this all comes from stage red, with a green perspective. The point is she has most likely a lot of correct points with the "white patriarchal" perspective of teaching at universities and sciences etc. It lacks proper yin energy even in girls, and a lot of "diverse" boys are disrupting a higher balance for billions of biases. They could include these models similar to maslow and teach more like this, with more healthy yin feminine energy and appreciation of it, the point is it's more a sexuality type topic and creation/creative perspective that is missing. I would not waste my life listening to critique of her. It's a lack of moderate perspectives for sure there could be things done to heal colonialism and it's damage culturally etc. It's such an immature polarizing comment, Sorry but it has to go. Great way to go about your business. Lack of responsibility. I dunno old person I don't care about her, and they f*ed up creating a multiple proper perspectives and let young kids either run into orange and/or green. The few ones who go higher and are good academically, land in academia and are the leading edge to some extend in a research field. I bet she underestimates how big of a task this is, and does not appreciate the "mastery&expertise" of the lower stages, as they often cognitively agree. The issue is green arrogance in culture, as they define power differently and neutral yellow is the best you can do, besides maybe coming from indigo, yet that is to high of a stage. It's more an issue of power. Tier 1 is hierachy, Tier 2 is holarchy. She seems to be missing and conflating stuff. Even healthy stage orange would agree on this, with proper evidence...

I agree what I meant more is from tripping what is not truely earned does not stay in a sense, my comment might have been to aggressive. Also to be frank drinking coffee is close to valueless for me, as I get aggressive when I drink a lot of coffee. Caffeine does have value in tea for me for example and coffee has a strong social component etc... Psychdelics are an amazing tool, I just also had deeper insights and breakthroughs through meditation so far, although the deepst have been with psychdelic I doubt the path can be done with only psychdelics that is what I meant with "unearned consciouness is valueless" some level of practice has to be there, or eventually you're just genetically gifted somehow in this. There barely are any functioning people at stage turqouise cognitvely that are many there. I don't also quiet understand what is written... It's not inherently valuless it has immense value. The point is just doing psychdelics without some experience and or legit doing it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, and integrating trips. I doubt it elevates consciouness that much without that, without retreats and a serious practice, although I intuit retreats are more powerful and a basic practice may suffice. Still even research says it's the single most religious experience a person can have, as well as have the single most defining experience in terms of what someone could call experiencing god, and or having experienced god. I don't disagree with you, it's a little more nuanced. I also don't quiet understand what you're saying. Having construct awareness in itself is not that much of value, if it's only beign construct aware, as this is still ego that does not include morals and emotions, there are many academics at construct aware, and that is not all to great when they fundamentally operate at stage orange scientific materalism. Obviously it's of benefit that a community can re-organise itself in a community context, I also doubt a bit that many communities are fully construct aware, most are at green and are not functional, they don't even manifest themselves for the greater good like yellow would and gain skills to solve deep problems and have this type of orientation. I might be interpreting to much, but I find what you wrote to be a bit odd. It sounds like you're talking about stream entry without knowing the definitions of it and seem to be going there? I dunno I barely see this as a ritual as this is a very triabalistic perspective which can be good, yet I would safe this for shrooms as a perspective. I only did NN-DMT once, so I don't have as much experience, yet it sounds like some stream entry "indigo" stage conflation... That is a bit different, if I get your perspective right, I had to look up ecology of rituals https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316489931_Ritual_ecology I found this and asked ChatGPT, the point is I agree, yet calling it ritual is a bit weird imo. Although given better context it could definitely be cool and part of integration to society for example doing a mandatory 5-Meo trip when someone is 21 years old as spiritual initiation, I don't dislike the idea entirely... if my intuition is somewhat correct as a "coordination of society", yet I like these things to be mostly de-synched and esoteric and exoteric, so the knowledge and wisdom is publcially availabe and only a few of it can get the wisdom and knowledge first-hand by beign part of it. The more psychdelics become normalized there will be an organic way how it will impact society and eventually religions, traditions and spirituality, especially culture at large. It already most likely has for millennia, my history is not as good, yet that would be cool if there could be some examples of history, how tribes used it and or ancient cultures to explore consciouness, if that is part of the course!

If construct-awareness is something no inherent without psychdelics and you need something as strong as 5-meo DMT, I'd say it's even better to have a normal meditation practice and see how the mind is constructed. Some things might stay true, unearned consciouness is valueless. To be a bit more chill, I dunno after doing and smelling DMT a couple of times I sometimes smell it in parks and wonder if it could be extracted, yet I guess the structure... of the fragrance is simply similar I smell it often after rain at specific parks. I am hypersensetive, just smelling this has a mild psychdelic effect on me, yet also just because I allow it also. Calling this diverse application "psychotechnology" is a bit to much no? Like getting high randomly of trees smelling like DMT, can be a bit to much for me. I could smell lavender and I would be also relaxed... I mean having DMT infused incense would be kinda dope, if you could seriously trip that way. That actually would be diverse application of a psychotechnology! People are dumb, it will be inevitable that someone will do it, no one is going to save this, you can warn people from the dangers to some extend. It's like A.I will be abused for some relgious purpose to some extend and be worshipped similar to god by materalists. It's inevitable to some extend that a minority of this will make this happen. I still look at the bright side of it. Especially if it get's more powerful. It's an outsourcing of authority and fear at play.

That is gangster, although going to a restaurant for me would be to much of beign a provider, I don't enjoy this kind of interaction with old school expectations of me paying for her I don't mind, yet if loved is expressed that way I am done with her absolutely done. I don't enjoy eating either, so going for coffee & fun activity is best, I would also prefer a glass of wine, restaurants are so expensive and I'd feel I would be raising a doll if she would not pay for herself. These "gentelman blue pill" type of stuff is horrendous imo, it's like beign scammed and deluded by fake affection. Most of my dates have been strolls in a park, direct meeting at my place, coffee, dancing in a club etc. Something a bit more cultural, so there are no gender expectations. Coffee dates so far have been the best, as you can just go eating at a mall and it's not a formal date, it's actually a chill way to have fun and eat food. This! This also accounts for the toxic modern men movement who degrade sexuality and are claiming leftists are grooming modern men and women into wussies etc and beign gay, instead of seeing the integral reality of how these relationships play themselves out energetically. The level of materalist perception is extreme on online-dating apps, of course there are some subtelties, yet I notice in real life the girls who use this extensively and actually use it are very very toxic and have an absurd perception of what accounts to someones income, material wealth and status. It's like when I see girls chilling at yachts who are 23 and then expect this type of wealth and status from a man, and just go for the lousiest player who could subtely evoke this type of conditoning. I recently chatted with a girl who seemed to be a millionair based on parents and she was actually just human, smart and extremely kind. I applied some of the player stuff after my normal conversations did not work, and she stopped responding, although it's a party girl and definitely fully into decadence, her character was still extremely kind for someone who could've been a total street dog , rich and or not. Yeah this definitely can happen most matches I have and my friend for example are new accounts who are into this, the longer she's been on the app the harder most likely the filter depending on how often she uses it, if she's busy with her life and travels and does vacation everything is possible and they are usually not toxic. The most toxic girls are the ones who use it to find a bread-winner and who are not looking for love, yet a subtle expression of getting a sugar daddy etc. Same goes for guys hanging-out on these apps all day. I delete them from time to time. It's still fun I have generally good experiences meeting people from online than offline. I am a nerd in a sense as a teenager I even made friends and meet from people from Xbox Live, back in the day super cringe, yet super worth it I loved to connect to people that way. Honest online-dating should be that way, efficient and healthy see someone you like give it a shot and see if you vibe, if not eventually go to the next person and use a different method to find someone. What I find personally you describe is very chill and actually cool. Usually these dates are also better, as they did not build a frame around the online-dating phenomena and don't have much expectations... I am still afraid of approaching girls in real life, even though my mentor said I was pretty good. I usually would love to just have more massive value providing capabillity, even just by character, yet it's not easy to display that and create that, especially if you never owned anything and materal things do matter like finances matter to some extend. Let alone the mindset I had to get rid of to be on this path is ridiculous. I went to one yoga classes in hopes to meet and see some high quality girls, and yes it was full of girls, yet I find it odd that I haveto go to yoga and I hope just day & night game can fix this. Finding someone conscious is not easy, and everyone will describe it differently. I am lucky I feel deeply in love with one girl at a time, so I know how that feels like that for me was beyond MDMA and or any psychdelic even if not reciprocated. So I know where I could get these type of vibes, and somehow I keep attracting girls who are similar to this. Anyway enough self-revelation . It feels different a girls appreciates your security/confidence giving capabillities, than beign out for image, success, wealth, ressources, revenger and proofing it type of vibe. A girl that can even just enjoy my confidence and success naturally is freaking awesome, to have at orange. That is a true partner, especially if you function at higher stages. Orange is not as bad, especially very healthy orange materalism makes it so.

It's okay if you can depict a decent lifestyle, although generally speaking most guys & girls can be quiet toxic and have delusional fantasies. I went on 7-8 dates this year through online-dating with pictures I did 3 years ago with a bad frame and got laid once. There are a few gems, yet they usually have standards and/or are very naive and innocent. I did real game once this year, and it was more fun I approached 4-7 groups of girls with a mentor although I don't know I had more quality interactions with girls online so far, than when out partying and I did go out a lot... just never really approached. I wanted to open a thread today talking about PUA's and how insecure and toxic they are. Some are gems, simialr to online-dating with a decent profile you eventually kind find a gem. I am currently chatting with one, hopefully I can meet her. It also depends a bit on the app, anything but Tinder has slightly higher standards and is dateable. Online-dating is mainly status and looks. I don't enjoy it at times either, a few girls look beyond this. Women respond better to me in person. If you are a normal guy online-dating will not get you laid, even if you're handsome and good-looking it's difficult if you don't show status. It can be quiet a nasty enviroment even for feedback. You can reverse the game, yet it's mostly all status and looks, the more you have for online the better it is. As a decent guy, you can still get some stuff with good vacation pictures and showing an interesting and well-rounded profile. For some it took 8 years to get really good at online-dating etc. I get approx 3-5 matches per week on Bumble, my Tinder does not work at all. A friend of mine get's a bunch of matches, not even leveraging the potential hidden power of just numbers. It's in a sense a waste of time, and could be dedicated to real game and or social circle, it can be fun and to some extend a way to meet girls you'd otherwise can't. I don't know how much of a difference it is and where to meet quality girls, besides going to high stakeholder events and approaching girls who seem just high quality (for e.g fit girl at gym who seems to have it together) etc. If you're an average guy it's better to build a quality life, no matter the advice as you develop yourself and attract girls through this, yet also at best approach and do some online-dating and see what works. If Leo would have endorsed game earlier I would have had more experience, yet I was focused on building a life that could attract girls automatically, and that even is difficult, as you need skills with girls. It's better to go out and approach some girls as a newbie and see how difficult either of it is and how much time it takes to get good at smth like this. To be quiet frank I dunno where to find quality girls, besides high stakeholder events and networking as it's not endorsed and most of them have been social circling etc. I am chatting with an attractive girl who studied aerospace engineering, and has two master degrees and seem open to spirituality due to culuture etc. You never know if you have a decent profile it's fine, yet I would not invest to much in it, if you maximized what is possible and don't get much results. Every non-scammy PUA will explain that charm can get you further. The issue is huge in the manosphere in a sense. As most are stuck in stage orange, girls & guys a like. I've talked to a few average guys, and they don't get as many likes as I do, even if we are friends and I am handsome and barely get any matches, girls at times also write me this. Social skills have way way more value than online-dating skills and text-game and what not. The so called "chad" is a guy doing everything to maximize his beauty daily and most likely works in some sales job as he's constantly surrounded by materalism. I was asked recently by my career advisor to shot for modeling for example, and another guy once asked me this as they are both into fashion. I am not that handsome, yet he said it does not matter and apply and he showed me another student who went there and did shootings etc.. Beauty is in a sense in the eye of the beholder, with and or without scientific arugment there will be outliers even within constraints. Good pictures that play within the constraint of the "online-dating meta" definitely will get you +XXX matches, if you're an average guy with a bit of muscle and you go skiing and surfing and show all of this "action" masculine type principles you'd get better matches, yet many take 0 effort into this and are extremely lazy, even asking a friend to shoot a couple of decent pictures, can be a huge hassle. Anyway that beign said lifestyle type pictures and action definitely will help, a headshot picture, picture showing you in action with smth, and other subtle status displays "confidence" displays, can get you more matches. Obviously, the chad will have it easier online & offline. Leo's series explains a lot of good stuff, yet online-dating is not as bad, it's heavily biased though to looks and status, also the community of guys are toxic as hell for online-dating! In that sense it's a scam.

Yes, they are super to help you stay on track and stay with a given process, I like listening to them in the gym while cooking, and while commuting. As well as when I fall asleep I keep hearing them often. It's a good tool, physical books have more detail, and I at times purchase both I really enjoy good narrators, and it helps to digest the book in a different way and gives me a different example, some books I only listen to and not read and vice-versa. For example I enjoy the audiobook atomic habits more than the real "translated" copy of it. It's mostly a matter of preferences, you can integrate some stuff and take notes on the go, it's very good if you're busy and like shut down the thinking mind from work/studying and focus on smth. else that is educational.

This! Otherwise many just ego-trip and god-trip themselves claiming they have created smth. lasting while it was only fleeting and can't keep learning from peaks, and don't know how to go about life to maintain peaks. Also the mechanistic & scientific paradigm, if they don't have a baseline spiritual practice it will just become confused with some materalistic thinking for survival and psychonauting will be co-opted, many should read cook-greuters ego developmental model as well as terri o'fallons model of ego development to make sense out of their experience. Psychdelic interests starts at Orange/green, mostly full Green can start to cherish the experience for what it truely is imo, and yellow+ can get the most benefit routinley out of it, when I contemplate my intuition. Many can't comprehend how strong the stage orange driving force is in humans till their are 60 or so, and I doubt this will change for the next 30-40 years, bringing these insights back even to stage orange type of thinking and breaking free of paradigms, while taking care of survival should be paramount to psychdelic growth and using it as a growth tool. As well as reading about it itself. There could be a distinction between psychdelics for survival, and psychdelics for consciouness growth. Wilber, Hawkins eventually, Terri O'Fallon are very important, I would never made sense out of this otherwise. I also had insights into the never-ending "game of life" thing, and contemplated this for a while, with a book called blue truth helped me ultimately to make sense out of it. I don't know how big the course will be and what type of psychdelics you'd include @Leo Gura, yet it would be cool if there would be a distinction for survival insight psychdelics like mushroom and lsd personally (healing & science supports this), that help with this more than for example NN-DMT. As well as your estimate of this and what particular benefit for example LSD helped me the most with my vision about life and inspiration. While Cannabis showed me more of what I'd could connect with "Truth" and "Reality" as the material life is experienced so heavily in this mode and seen through at the same time how much of an illusion it is, it would be interesting how it is for others, as cannabis is an extremely materalistic type of psychdelic I find, and only a few can appreciate it's art and depth, especially combined... I only did NN-DMT once, yet it completely skull-fucked me. I am still building a ground where I can do this deeply for sometime, and see how well it aids spiritual growth and survival. As well as some scientific insights on the new ground on psychdelics for skeptics, and potential warnings also based on science would be cool, so it's actually professional. I don't care about sources, more about what matters to you in your experience. (I don't value professionalism, more exellence, so I really care about the experience) MDMA showed me love, yet I never went fully beyond ego only tastes of no-ego for seconds and eventually minutes.

That'd be to funny the level of hate watch that would attract omg. I can imagine the headline and thumbnail.

+1 I get into a very deep state of contemplation and innocence, when I tap into this field, like reality plays itself out in an self-controlled field that I created even partially based on energy and vibes. I become more aware what I attract with my emotions as well as can tune into the fine-tuned field of emotions even subtle emotions and undercurrents trained with meditation old positive feelings as a kid, teenager that ignited my vision to go where I'd love to be in life now mostly. Everything feels more alive, there is more love in all things. It's also a spiritual tool, without the 8h meditation bout and 1P-LSD 2-3 tabs, and double clarification from Leo and Shinzen I would not have had an absolute perfectly clear snippet and taste of what consciouness is, and how hard it is to come by with traditional means. I learned what consciouness is as a casual phenomena mostly, wide empty space fully alive going beyond time & matter, beign the very substrat of it. One drawback might be the level of confusion and lack of mapping and clarity that exists, so making sense of the experiences and beign indifferent about them is a key lesson also imo. At times deep clarity of what I'd like to get out of life, based on what I have done and imprinted myself with Awareness of my animal nature, lust, desire, body awareness is very high and I can let go of long held tensions and or pain points, with mindfulness meditation during tripping Beauty and aweness in a lot of things Healing of shadow elements and kriyas A huge aid for shadow work and energetic blockages Love and connection to nature, especially and a lot of nano and baby tastes, of what can go beyond human it's similar to a retreat breakthrough, it is as if the whole world stops and aids your conquest of consciouness and honors your intent of the trip Relaxation and stress reduction generally speaking after doing 20+ trips, this was the biggest gain the clarity of mental health Closer connection to god-like feelings that can be experienced during workouts, deep meditation retreats relatively quick taste of "pure exellence" Beautiful geometric patterns when closing my eyes, similar to beign an energetic architect Beign very absored into the story and emotions of others re-experiencing their live and generally "hyper-empathy", possibly to ones own demise Self-inquiry lvl's beyond what is currently capeable do to enhanced perception and connection of ideas Insane undescribable cognitive connections (somehow currently lost with more tripping), yet I could make sense and draw back on deeper memories of what I read about spiral dynamics and or for example stream entry, and other topics. Insights into my own level of survival relative truth and things where I can work on personally Taste of unconditional love and undconditional positive regard insights from example Carl Roger popularized this apparently; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditional_positive_regard It's like going beyond good and evil, yet a strong level of self-acceptance close to the emotion of love, yet not quiet it. Deep humilty of existence to the level where I was ashamed to exist and just pissed by how greedy and ruthless humans are, desire to act more with integraity and not to bullshit, lie and deceive. Deep appreciation on how amazing humans are, and how beautiful work and hobbies can be Meeting cool and interesting people Thousand of spiritual states written in books samadhi etc. Love for spirituality and cross-paradigmatic spirituality, especially. Bigger enjoyment and taste of what is Truth, relative and absolute. Some issues and lessons that are more negative: The level of sensetivity and social deconditioning and reconditioning after making a tabula rasa of mind (philosophy definition) Beign able to amp states for others and get 0 credit and not knowing if you are deluding yourself, you're beign creative, sharing joy beyond this world Fear and how the mind can play tricks on you based on phobias and fears you have, especially if you don't have any self-love For me strong awareness of the roles within society, and how unfree we can be based on it and free at the sametime, as it's a social game Some tripps are filler trips and wasted, due to lacking self-discipline and knowledge to contemplate reality deeply It's not super practical in the sense, that if you're not conscious about drawing levels of insight for your own survival, it does not help as you go to deep into consciouness, beauty etc. Danger of deluding oneself with powers Some people are unstable and can't integrate the lessons to well, due to not using practical psychology and or applied psychology to leverage insights, and beign open to self-experimentation etc. (Been there) I can feel like I am the creator of the universe, although I am unsure at times if this is just a power trip. It's more I cherish the magnificence of creation itself, and become deeply awed by it. Bringing me to tears by the beauty of it.

Is a holonic perspective advantageous in acting with social groups? Going out and or working in groups I often find it gives me some level of favourtism over others, as I don't threaten their status and it's a spiral often anyway and loads of people enjoy sharing their wisdom/knowledge with someone smart, innocent, knowledgeable, mysterious etc. In the end I am uplifted as I simply minimize damage in that sense. I notice I only struggle when I am engaging with ego gratification type people and people who see ego = truth with this, as it's often a nothing or join me kind of vibe, and Ego's and perspectives clash, it's a subtle denial of god/spirit mostly imo..

What did you personally learn and how did it practically apply to your business and/or line of work? Obviously, a business has more potential for growth and income, than a carpenter and or similar blue collar workers, as they can only grow so much and the field is limited within itself. In that sense an ambitious risk-taking personality wins out, generally I would say taking calculated risks is one of the smartest thing someone can do. (Besides creating a blue collar business, that would be ambitious and I bet pays very well and can be satisfying, for e.g a simple show owner who sells gym equipment could lead a very boring life in contrast etc.)

I fundamentally will just use my intutition and continue to with the current path. The point about impatience is good, yet seriously struggle out of many reasons with a lot of points mentioned in Leo's blog post recently even developmentally, I just hope it will work out. I mostly work on energy and health, and the new success journal helps tremendously, thanks I will integrate this slowly, yet currently I have to see there are so many flaws I see it's not so cool. --- The point about solidifying present gains is great, the point is I noticed how much subtle developmental work I did with the wilber courses, and sticking to a few things, I am just integrating it now, I never noticed how much I cherish beauty as a value in all of life.... it's almost tragic....in a good sense!

So I basically will start as a work student in one of the tech top companies in the country in some scale, it overall has a pretty good rating on glassdoor and the community seems quiet conscious in contrast to the stark materalistic, scientific paradigm that can exist in the tech field. I'll be working on internal projects and when doing projects for customers I will receive a higher hour wage. Although this is mostly to cover living costs and to gain more expierence and ultimately move to the U.S, as my situation is very unique, and I have a dual citizenship, where others would possibly "kill for" as German/American. (I am exaggerating). The company offers mindfulness programs, and other benefits, yet I am mostly working remotely. They overall strike me Yellow/Blue, so it's a lot of autonomy and familiarity, yet it's extremely conscious as a company, I'd say. Obviously salary is not to high, yet I am looking mainly for experience. I also have the opportunity to dive into new fields, still I am a bit worried, due to the strong meritocracy nature (if normal it's okay), how far I can go? I still struggle with the value of mastery and leadership, and the level of isolation due to not beign able to fully live out my more extroverted nature, due to injury. I keep re-thinking, yet this is one of the biggest moves I have done, and I have some experience in multiple technologies now, yet they all keep evolving. So I never know, and I am disinterested in working in a company where anyone likes Andrew Tate and toxic masculinity, which is practically possible where I am working at which is great. Due to reverse bias I'd just say... for now. My values are changing also so often, I certainly have to choose for a different way to review and implement at best at a 2-3 year segment. Instead of 6 months, as I contemplated the last 2-3 months. What is good career advice for working in software engineering? My life purpose involves A.I and I have the opportunity to do this in university, as well as at the company as an upskilling opportunity. I do have experience mostly with Java, Android Studio & Python so far and a bunch of other technologies to much to write down. When I speak to others, they don't seem to have the right mindset, about either business and becoming masterful at programming for instance, and I struggle with this also, I don't enjoy so much sitting on leetcode and solving problems. I orignally dreamed of beign able to work consciously as even a meditation instructor in a SE company and work from the orange end upwards, as anything lower than that does not work accordingt to Wilber. I get very angry at solving problems due to subtle trauma that I am uprooting weekly and mastery, as I had a pretty bombass skill training, yet 0 emotional support and other stuff I notice. Obviously, the more interesting my project and the better my skill, the better the career/lp, yet I'd be interested in your stories and what you eventually did to kick-start your career and make more than the "lower-tier" of 6 figures? I originally had a pretty high goal of earning at least 300k per year, when I read the success books from Leo's booklist. Currently I am on a path of 150k+, yet I will venture into A.I 100% to some level. (Note this is for America not EU) I don't get to much joy out of solving problems intellectually, I mostly experience myself more as a creative, so it's a different type of pain even if my problem solving and analytical skills are quiet good, they are not excellent, and it takes a lot of energy to maintain my lifestyle currently and I keep looking for ideas to reduce the tension and stress of it, especially health wise. For me it's mostly the curiosity, creation and feeling as if god-like energy that I enjoy about solving problems and creating products, that is what I enjoy the most. Anyhow, what is your story and advice? I struggle with skill development solo as it often feels like rigid stage blue and or just grinding for merit, also due to injury and not getting laid as much with a high sex drive, I could also work in business due to my more "powerful" type of character even though I am generally very balanced it's my biggest strenght and flaw in that sense. Even with the LP and reading (even before the LP about my strength from various books and assesments) I don't know what I am really good at. (Note: I am doing my masters in applied c.s, specializing in some field within A.I to some extend) --- The guy hired me without any technical interview also and was yellow+ big intuitive coordinator/team lead.

The point is I miss human contact, and I often have to sacrifice here due to goals etc. I wish I could enjoy a few things more, yet I crave variety and diversity a lot also at times, and the integration and working with beauty and simplification is one of the hardest things I ever experienced, so I dunno. I work mostly from a health standpoint on all of this, and I would seriously need a coach for effective cooking and buying healthy foods that I can cook fast, often times it's just that, that does matter. As I can marvel and enjoy the world otherwise mostly, due to consciouness beign a top value. Mostly it's consciouness and love that I connect with A.I etc. I'd love to have the right kind of distractions, yet I also turned so toxic due to the death of my grandma and I keep having new ideas to reconnect, yet I need some serious income to enjoy this and mostly experience, so I just sort of chillout low-key and see what can be done. So I can actually connect to my passion of coding and beauty of patterns etc. My sex drive is also high, and there are just to many things to test more solutions etc. I just wish I could focus more on skill development, yet it's a trauma type of experience from so many ends. The shamanic breathing sessions I am doing do help, yet it's still a lot of hatred I have for humanity and humans themselves let alone survival and how disgusting merit type thinking is and stage orange etc. A lot of things.... a lot....

My values massively shifted, so I don't know yet and I have to mull this over when I find a better time, I threw away my old vision board as I achived approx 80% of it the things missing are a girlfriend and travel mostly, and that shifted also to some extend. Strengths wise it's mostly love of learning and curiosity, especially seeing the beauty of patterns, and I am integrating this just now as my main passion fundamentally beauty, as a lot of joy has been taken from me from various ends, and I have to work from various ends, otherwise I fundamentally don't know if I could boil it down to one simple thing, I would still have to name multiple. I can also just give one which is mostly curiosity of the world and how it will develop based on A.I this is most likely the biggest connector, I stopped also valuing connection, as to many have been severed. Currently I don't know it's to many connections I'd have to draw, yet I notice an internal pull as this was my passion when I was 16, yet I did not know it existed, as I experienced life very heartless and I often found more love in inanimate things than in animated things. (Or living & unliving) Due to the heavy nature of survival. For me it's mostly love and nature that connects to it, odd isn't it? I'd love to see an 80/20 principle of nature beign connected with A.I and just the topic of creating something, that could generate beauty. I could find millions of things, and then the next day and or week or month it changed. I also have my foot in two doors, which is not to good, yet it's the only possible way of doing this currently, and I still have to look for a different sector, due to me not liking some parts about A.I and it's a huge field and I still have 0 clue, as a lot of companies did not even integrate it and are just starting to digitalize stuff. Ultimately, I would wish for a more conscious enviroment for more inspirational integration. I also keep meeting interesting people online and offline who use A.I for directly impacting stuff, yet it's not something I would yearn to be doing I am to business oriented, to be a repairman in that sense, and I don't know how to go about this. I enjoy creation, and deconstructing as well as holistic synthesis, I miss a lot of integration of soft sciences within A.I to be kept self-motivating etc. etc. It also get's dark, so I dunno. Often times at best I just meditate and forget and do small exercises and journal. To be to specific looses a lot of magic and joy out of the process of the unknown and I am just into this field for not even 1 year, so I don't know and I did not find a position in A.I, it's mostly my studies, yet the company has options for this.
