Hello from Russia

I've been on these retreats. The vipassana guru just asks you "Are you focusing on your breath bro?" - to which you say yes, then he is just - "Okay, good!!" And that's basically it. But there is more to concentration as a skill What if all these people are just doing the techniques wrong? And there is no one to correct you/no desire to experiment (which might be a huge bottleneck)

That's exactly what I mean

No, this is actually how you know the guy is probably legit. If he was charging some low price like $1-2k or less, then I would be skeptical High leverage advice costs $$$ money

Yes, but we are not living in a Theocracy here like in Iran or Saudi Arabia. It's more a Eastern Europe stage blue style. Everyone talks about morals, no one cares about them in practice

Careful with starting high-scaling ventures when you're broke. Youtube channel is one of them. You might consider doing some direct service-related things like coaching and consulting which tend to work the best in a short term and then you could work towards the high scale from here

Yeah, I totally felt these tradeoffs in the last 2-3 years. Would you say these cost/value & tradeoff dynamics are inherent to the universe/reality & being a finite form? As no way to escape them? What is nice about deep relationships, though, Is that it is an amazing love simulator training. In 99% cases if some conflict/annoyance comes up, the most effective way to deal with it usually is to just love her to death. Solves pretty much 99% of all relationship problems. But very hard to embody this and be loving 100% of time

Oh man, I am reading this thread literally after pushing for sex for like 3-4 hours, it's so ironic, haha. I mean, I succeeded but I totally get what you mean. The upside, though, with girl your don't only get sex, but also companionship, intimacy, mutual love sharing, friendship, ability to vent to each other and let go a bit. She can basically fulfill 90% of your socialization needs and it is a pretty good value in a sense It's a very tricky dilemma. Having a hard time deciding what is the best way to approach all this sexy/intimate relationship stuff At least I feel confident in my skill I can sustain any type of relating, developing some mastery in this domain really makes you feel much more free and nice, as you were always teaching

Hmm, interesting perspective. I think it is especially wasteful if you swap girls every time, you having to pick up one chick by another by another on a regular basis. I imagine it'd be draining as fuck However if you'd have a wifu or a wifu-figure... It can be a source of regular sex yet you can still make this all thing pretty efficient. The problem becomes, though, when these wifus begin to have some more than basic needs fulfilled...

I'm sure it was some special kind of porn

Noooo, I actually enjoyed reading your posts in relationships forum

I'd forget about dating life for now and not get too excited by it and work directly on making your income met by yourself, not by 9-5 job. It is hard, but not THAT hard

Hey guys, what's going on here

Lol dude, all fashion is relative. It's just in a caveman's years there was a different kind of fashion

You sure about that? I personally find 90-95% of people to be clueless about it, even if some of them have relatively some success

Most men are naturally traumatized as fuck, insecure and have tons of issues in our society (which is sad). Someone who does practices seriously naturally purifies himself off of bullshit and has overall much higher state of consciousness, which chicks pick up very easily What Leo basically says - just have a high state of consciousness and chicks will stick to you like a glue. I found it to be true in my experience

Dude, how come the competition is high? Competition is almost non-existent. These dudes are usually very lame and have 0 game. If you do meditation and other spiritual work you should have a phenomenal edge and run circles over them At the end of the day, the chick will always choose someone with the deepest presence and highest integrity no matter what setting you're in

@machinegun Can you share some?

Or you just say "Of course you're not" and genuinely smile Without all these BS cheap game tricks

The sheer materialistic beauty is a mockery of women's beauty. Our culture gets it all wrong No quality man will want a girl just for her doll-like appearance. We want inner beauty much more than the outer. The funny thing is, once you have inner beauty nailed down, you're automatically supercharged with outer beauty as well. This is what they call by "glowing". "Glowing" is not some cosmetics trick, it's simply the beauty within manifested It's truly a paradox and a strange circle loop. Cause even if you go chasing for outer beauty only, eventually you'll realize that to get to the highest levels of outer beauty, you need work on the inner

There is actually a huge lack of it. Leo's content is great, but he has his own biases, agendas and limitations. We for sure need more people diving deep into various more technical displines and teaching them in depth, be it meditation techniques, trauma healing, working on your beliefs, contemplative ("conscious") fitness, spiritual dieting, conscious friendships, conscious intimate relationships, conscious sex, tantra, conscious political activism, conscious community building, conscious entrepreneurship, conscious kid's raising, innovation & creativity, etc, etc. These are all deep fields, Leo can't possibly cover them all in their full depth at his channel

Hey man, how is qigong going for you, can you share more?

There are many good heuristics to selling, but none will work 100%, a lot of times you just need a sheer volume of engagements. 3 meetings is nothing, don't get discouraged by this. Statistically significant number would be something like 50+ meetings, then you can draw proper fairly accurate conclusions from that

It's whatever dude, just approach during the day I once worked at some lame cold sales job. I approached 1k+ people just in 2 days selling river cruise tickets. Just these 2 days alone shed a ton of my fear/anxiety/shyness regarding all this stuff and then it was a cake with girls too Pure approaching skill will grow you a lot

Not sure. Imo it required some balls to go from "comfy" Europe to go explore New World. Early American people had been taken huge risks and they paid off
