You mean the other way around, the red pill ideology takes anything of value it offers from books by David DeAngelo and other early pick-up artists. Although, some of those other guys back in the 2000s were pretty toxic, so the red pill people might have taken the toxicity from them too and then exaggerated it.

I mean, Logan Paul has interviewed Sadhguru. Who has had Leo interviewed? Peter Ralston, but who knows this guy? I think it clearly shows who is a teacher of a higher caliber and who has a higher chance to make a collab with the master of them all Tai Lopez, that person is Logan Paul.

Yup, but Ken Wilber is hard to understand sometimes, for me a non-native speaker at least. He uses unusual academic words that I have to check in the dictionary, while Leo uses everyday language. I find Rupert Sheldrake to be very similar to Leo, but with less emphasis on practical spirituality and more on science and epistemology, which makes sense, since he is a professional researcher.

There's a lot of firms in the finance sector that focus on doing good. Mainly in sustainability focused investment, but also local banking and micro loans for communities in need. Also, basically any conscious organization that gets big and successful needs people to manage its finances, so it's only a matter of choosing your desired niche and making connection with people working in it, so they can introduce you to opportunities you want.

Agreed. You still have to admit it's better there than on Reddit, haha. If you know some quality discussion forums or similar, then please share, I think it's allowed on here to do so.

@The_Alchemist XDDDD curb your ego, bro Exactly how he has described it himself. He has started a fast food restaurant chain and this is its promotional campaign. Guys, giving away money and charity work is not a sign of being stage Green. Andrew Carnegie, the guy on whom the Scrooge McDuck character is based, apart from being a filthy rich stage Orange ideologist was also a philanthropist. The same with the Rockefeller, an absurdly rich philanthropist who also happened to be a dick. Heck, even today we have the Sacklers family, billionaires who spend a lot of money on charity but earned this money by orchestrating the opioid epidemic in the US, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of people killed.

I don't know what's an issue with Windows laptops. I have bought used 2014 Dell for $160 and installed Windows 10 on it. It has great keyboard, trackpad and runs lightning fast for the purpose of browsing web and writting. The only thing I can't do on it is play newer games like Trackmania 2020, but this PC was cheaper than my smartphone, so who cares.

I feel you, I really feel you @Striving for more. I have some money saved and love Spain, too, but want to sample countries in Europe first by doing a few workaway volounteering trips and maybe meditation retreats.

Being scared of someone being of other skin color just because you haven't seen that. That's purple.

@cle103 I don't test psychedelics. I mainly use research chems and source them from shops that have a reputation to lose if they ever make a mistake. The important thing is to start low. It can save your ass if the vendor actually made a mistake and has sent you something else. You don't have to worry about fentanyl, but there are other kinds of fuck ups that can happen where reagent testing won't save you. For example, I have heard of 5-MeO mixed by mistake with some crumbs of 25C-NBOMe, imagine preparing for a 1-hour long trip and ending up with a 30-hour one. Crazy, and nothing can save you from that if that happens. You can't test for it, even starting low doesn't help. A trusted provider is a priority.

If you are asking about plugging, then only synthetic. Don't plug toad venom.

I would never plug something that works well orally.

I have't watched Tyler's stuff, yet... RSD Max's Hot Seat is for sure worth it. 20 hours or something of footage of him approaching girls. You have everything there, nightgame, daygame, boring stuff, flashy stuff, short videos, uncut material, everything really. Motivated by his course I have kissed a girl for the first time in my life, and also was a beast at a music festival a few weeks later. Approaching was so easy, I just knew what to do, because I have already seen it.

You have done daygame pick up for a few months, your anxiety can't be that bad. Inner-game is outer-game. The only way to improve it is by getting practice. But psychedelics seem to be an option. I have a theory that they they kind of work like a substitute of social interaction. What I mean is, I feel warm after doing psychedelics similar to how I feel after hugging someone, or confident like after approaching a hot girl, or safe and amused like when playing board games with friends. Psychedelics seem to be pushing these buttons. And 100's of others, too, of course, haha. These substances also require from you some courage to take them and then to endure the experience, so that can be helpful. Also, planning logistics for a trip has similarities to planning a date. I know it's a bit werid angle to look at it, but it really does.

@Acche You are a one ambitious mf haha. You will need Arnold Schwarzenegger's willpower times ten to achieve all your goals in a single lifetime. Nevertheless, I wish you success on your journey.

@BornToBoil You might get interested in the Effective Altruism movement. https://80000hours.org/ does a good job of explaining the concept. It was they who pushed me in the direction of getting interested in how NGOs work, etc. Yeah, I am too independent-minded to do well in political structures, it seems you are like that as well. I dream of there being more organizations with alternative, progressive workplaces, like the ones described in "Reinventing Organizations", which is a book applying Spiral Dynamics to organizational science.

@BornToBoil Bussiness is a good idea. You can look at the B Corporations movement for some guidance on how to set up a conscious one. I am basically chipping at the same problem, as having an impact is a value I hold dearly. I have started with learning engineering to be able to support the green energy revolution, but then realized I don't want to spend my whole life behind the screen in CAD software and Excel spreadsheets. So I switched to Management with a thought to work in the future in the European Union political structures or end up with a Ph.D., but studying it at the University forced me to realize that following a beaten path and conform is not for me either. I am now left with pursuing conscious business ideas. I will gladly share with you any breakthrough I get. In the meantime, I invite you to read my thread on brainstorming conscious business ideas, some people have already contributed there their insightful thoughts :

@Username I am 100% positive that in your situation physical Hatha yoga will do more good than Kriya yoga. Go for it.

Are you aware that LSD has about 2 weeks of tolerance period during which the next trips are weaker? It's basics, but sometimes people on this forum don't know the basics.

That part, I really feel it. Non-duality has indeed radical implications.

When I now think about it, lack of personal experience of a stage could hurt your understanding of it. But on the other hand would a stage Yellow or Turquoise be better at describing other stages? I think not that much, because nowadays we spend very little time in stages Purple or Red for example, so we all lack deep personal experience of some stages. It seems what matters the most in that kind of work is good technical reasearch and interviewing skills.

That's surprising, didn't know that. It makes the fact that they have developed this theory even more impressive. Like how did they come up with the insights? At the University, I have personally experienced stage Blue/Orange people being knowledgable about systems thinking, etc., but themselves thinking linearly, without depth. But lecturers at college are not the ones who come up with these ideas, they are just repeating them, while Don Beck has actually developed SD. Lately, I have stumbled upon and been reading books with titles like "Sacred Economics" and "Organic Marxism", but those multidisciplinary mixed books are weak sauce, it's better to read works of experts in a single field IMO. Just a side remark.

It was Clare Graves who was a stage Yellow thinker, who came up with the theory. Don Beck took his ideas and built on top of them. Brilliant insight - Clare Graves, marketing and stuff - Don Beck.

It's very possible to delude yourself that you have experienced what Enlightenment is on a mild dose of a psychedelic. But don't worry, after finally hitting a proper breakthrough you will auto-correct your opinions, it will put every experience into perspective.

@Heart of Space Yeah, you are from the States, but OP is from Brazil and I am from Poland, it's quite different here. And most of the world is even less developed than Brazil or Poland. Thus, most gays globally will be leaning to the right, I believe.
