wtf is that question, no one can answer you, go find out for yourself

I find his thinking rather interesting. I think he's an example of stage turquoise. Do you agree with his line of thought about creativity? that it's just old ideas molded together using preexisting "molding techniques"?

that way there is no subconscious need to make a post in a way that people will like, those dopamine hits are like poison.

I dont know, personally I hate those kind of apps. for me the most addicting thing and the only thing that works is social media, when someone likes what I say or replies to what I have to say, like in here now

and if one is an incel and has masturbation/porn addiction, should he indulge in them?

man I like that so much

what do you mean? what I meant by 'normal' is that it's common. lmao most people believe that they're a person living in external reality, everyone is delusional.

lol its normal bro, happens when you lack basic needs

Also have that. I think it's in the same category as stretching automatically when you wake up for example or when you yawn, they also feel good. I guess it's a side effect of the emotional system, the nervous system its not harmful though, unless its painful, so theres nothing to worry about

I can just practice kriya for the rest of my life, or go to a cave and meditate and be absolutely blissful, why would I need to read books, get a life purpose, contribute, get relationships, develop my personality and all that stuff? people do those things just to be happy, but if I can be happy just doing spirituality why would I need to do all that? those things just slow down the process edit: people misunderstand me, I mean that I cant be happy now, but I can achieve that solely by the practices, my question is why would I need all of the other stuff?

what do you mean by vague presence? like not to concentrate on the breath but just be aware?

Thanks, that makes sense. and im definitely addicted to porn and dont want to quit because my life lacks excitement. I think the problem is self-esteem, I see myself as a nice guy beta male that's weak and cant do anything productive. Though sometimes, depends on the situation I see myself as a hyper alpha, smart, wise, very social (I am sometimes very social in certain situations and sometimes very shy and anxious) gotta fix that

doesnt help me and this kind of advice never helped me. you dont talk at my level of consciousness.

Oh, finally an answer that satisfies me, thank you. Now I understand much better buddha's "The middle path". Just gotta be careful not to attach to those "extra" happinesses. Then I thought "if I indulge in those happinesses itll take me more time to get to the real happiness" but it's false, because if I dont indulge ill feel unmotivated so it will take me even more time or even never. I guess what I gotta do is have a daily "god practice", retreats here and there, contemplations when they feel right, and the rest is normal goal oriented/relationship stuff in priority order that will bring the most overall average happiness

so basically what you're saying is that I have this built in "stuff" that wont let me just get to the happiness. I need to accept that im fucked up and deal with it, and get to happiness while dealing with it. lmao I dont want to live my life, I just want to be happy. living my life is a side thing. nothing feels right for me except addictions

Do you mean that I need the "other stuff", in order to sustain myself getting to the happiness place?

what I meant is that whole happiness you're talking about could be achieved using the practices, in daily life too, I didnt talk about happiness that depends on sitting in a cave. I asked if I could achieve that, using solely practices, why would I need all the other stuff? I cant sustain it now obviously, but i can get to that point using the techniques, so why would I need other stuff?

+1 @Leo Gura Yeah, an update is needed for the existing videos about happiness

The ego may want enlightenment only if it deludes itself, isnt it? yes or no? because how can it want to eradicate itself?

it's more like an association. Like you probably associate love with the color red, anger maybe red too, depression as dark/grey, spirit with blue maybe. the chakras are ultimately nerve pathways I think, but the associations can be ascribed to colors and shapes.

I think he's turquoise because he said at some points "there's no good nor bad" and he seems to me (maybe im wrong) like he's way past his ego, at least in this video. Ive also seen in the recommended he talks about spirituality so that's the vibe I got off him. I think his point was that creativity is built on itself, that man cant pull something absolutely new out of his ass, he's always using stuff that he learned. Also I think he talked about specifically human creativity, which is limited (I guess?)

Whenever something takes some effort, when I have to think, to exert physical or emotional labor, I dont want to do it. Lately all im looking for is these small dopamine hits, and if something doesnt give me them, i dont want to touch it. I know that there are people who love to think critically, love to exert themselves, and I was like that at some point. Why am I not like that now?

that just blew my shit away, my yoga practice will become so much better now

no, I mean the reason I react is habits and the subconscious, on an intellectual level I understand its not rational. yeah, for a year @ajasatya omg motivation speeches NEVER work on me and that one opened my eyes so much. What I really took from this video is the engagement part, I notice that what attracts me in life is superficial stuff that gives me a good feeling, like watching tv shows, imagining being somewhere beautiful, but I realized is that this stuff is mediocre, what really life is about is, engagement, and I barely do that, im just an observer all the time. @ajasatya@Consept you're both right, im too comfortable right now so I dont want to do anything. I dont want to get fucked in the ass later so ill get fucked in the ass right now but slighter. thank you, those comments actually changed my perspective. for some reason I dont give a shit that im gonna die and that life is short, as much as I actually contemplated that I dont care. I actually did a gratitude journal for a month, it was grueling, I hated it and it didnt make me feel better.

It feels I can control it like I control my muscles. maybe it's stupid but hear me out. It may be connected to prana or some other shit. It feels like im creating pressure at certain parts of my body, I can create it at my head, chest and legs. I can also control the area around my throat such, that I can make myself genuinely laugh and experience some kind of joy. Same for the feeling of before crying, I cant cry on purpose though, just the feeling. I have a little machine that measures blood pressure, and I measured my blood pressure once when I was completely relaxed and once when I made my whole body feel that kind of pressure. Im not flexing any muscles, though sometimes when I do it too hard my body starts to shake. anyway, my pulse during the tense period was about 28 points higher (from 60 to 88) and my high blood pressure went up 10 points (from 120 to 130). im not doing anything with my breath too, it's kind of just a feeling i can control. Can anybody else do it? I noticed that I can do it after the kriya and an lsd trip.
