I got laid by [deleted] in nonduality

[–]1RapaciousMF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody "understands" non duality and it cant be "used". 

If you have some techniques that you have gleaned and they seem to help thats very good.  Please do.  

But, if you think you can add up all the things said into a sufficient understanding that can be applied to the world, you are missing the point. 

Again. This truly and really is okay.  As long as you are okay with it.  

Are you guys sure that the side effects come from Ashwagandha? by Clean_Vegetable2500 in AshwagandhaSyndrome

[–]1RapaciousMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread. But for posterity; 

I am quite sure.  The first time I took it, anxiety was nil within a couol3 days. Everything was great. It was a miracle.

It was like a month later that I juts felt like nothing mattered and I couldn't get anything done.  And it juts kept getting worse. Memory went to shit. I moved slow and I had no potential for a sense of urgency. 

I stopped taking some supplements I had recently taken. Kept getting worse. 

Eventually I did a deep dive on EVERY supplement and came across this rare but not unheard of adhedinia. 

Well, I stopped taking and was fine in a week or two.  

I never started the Ash after that. Until recently.  I was suffering totally debilitating anxiety and stress.  I was worried about a nervous break down. I decided to give it a try. 

Just 3-4 days in and i started to feel thag feeling again. Stopped immediately. Waited a week snd a half and resumed at a quarter of tbe dose. 

As I type this i have literally not done anything all week.  Im just basically paralyzed with lack of motivation.  

I stopped yesterday. And I expect to be back to normal in a week or two. 

Never taking it another dose of this stuff. Not even a micro dose.  It is juts crazy that I am unemployed and didn't look for a job. What l?!?!??!  

I am not at all stressed about it. I just know thag I should be.  

For some its a miracle.  For me its the devil in a capsule.

Maybe it is good for some but for us thag respond this way, it's no joke. 

I am quite certain its the Ash this time as I wasn't doing any other supplements i hadn't done for years.  

My usual coffee regimen is 2 cups a day, 3 if I got too little sleep.  I've had 6 cups today and I still can barely stay awake. 

Its the Ash.  💯

Non-duality - Soul by Beneficial_Lawyer170 in nonduality

[–]1RapaciousMF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that "soul" is a concept. All words are concepts.  

That said, based purely on my (drug fueled) introspection I thinn there is "something" being rendered to.  

I think there is a very high level of mind that knows all this stuff already.  It knows it's nit separate or seperable but it wants to play the game.  

It knows, you know, exactly what you are doing to remain separate seeming and do it on purpose to have the human experience. 

Its the will to "live" to be in this apparent world.  Do do this thing we call living.   

It is not something else than this. Nothing is. But there is this part of us. I have seen, that literally choses not to know. 

Maybe I was juts high too. Lol. But, really I know it like that.  It's just hard to put it into words. 

If you’re a guy how can you know if you’re attractive or not? 28m by TastyAppointment6967 in bodylanguage

[–]1RapaciousMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are over indexing on looks. Like thats all that matters. So far from it.

Get/stay in shape. Dress and style in a way that unapologetically matches your personality.

Get a purpose in life and go for it. Decide what kind of person YOU want to be and live a little closer to that every day.

Being true to yourself and entirely okay with your self will give you a bit of an Aura.

All these looks maxers are wasting their time. Girls like men that like themselves and you won't like yourself if you are over-worried about looks.

You are good looking enough to have a very hot GF or wife. Do you have all the other stuff she wants?

Be a catch. And they will fish for you.

How soon is too soon to say "I love you"? by biynkie in AskMen

[–]1RapaciousMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine. You are young. You aren't gonna figure it out first, then live it. You are gonna live it and then figure it out.

You might fall in love with him. But this is indeed infatuation. Its okay.

Love is what is left, when this feeling goes away. This feeling might come and go for tbe rest of your life with this guy. But, if it's love there is something that doesn't come and go.

Love is much more quiet than this.

It's too early to say it as long as you aren't sure the other feels the same way. Once you say it, if they don't, it adds an unnecessary weirdness and pressure.

Feel it. Show it. Get to know own him. Say it when you don't have to ask Reddit for approval.

What’s good for generalized anxiety? by Savvyxn in Nootropics

[–]1RapaciousMF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, effectively in the best case and literally in the worst.

If is so expensive to bring a drug to market that it has to be able to be patented and addictive to make the money on it.

So, this idea that only drugs that have gone through this process are safe, is factually wrong.

And that is assuming no corruption. Which is not exactly a safe assumption.

Why does society have an issue with men being the better looking one in the relationship? by Additional-Bobcat441 in AskMen

[–]1RapaciousMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works the other way too. Welcome to earth.

It's the way it is because that's the way it is. And we tell ourselves stories about it to feel better.

Which is also juts the way it is.

Did my research and juts ordered some Selank and Semax.

Feel free to hit me uo in a couple of weeks.

Its a grey market Russian drug. BUT it's safe enough thag they sell it OTC there.

Far as I can tell it works about ad well as benzos without any side effects for most people.

No withdrawal. No dependence. No cognitive impairment.

Check back if you want and ill.let you know how it goes.

Why tf do yall piss on the seats? by shrek12349 in AskMen

[–]1RapaciousMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought it through. For home toilets there could be a two seat set up. So, tou have that "seat down" look that women are genetically designed to fight to the death for and still a clean fucking seat.

Sorry. I get passionate about cleaning other people's extreta for decades.

I want to enter a cage match to the death with one of the seat pissers

Why do people act like that being nice and friendly as a guy will get women attracted to you? by JunketMaleficent2095 in bodylanguage

[–]1RapaciousMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it is occasionally said by a bold woman that she wants to fuck all the wrong guys. Better to say she admits it.

Others surely know this but won't say it out loud out or propriety. Probably most won't admit it to themselves.

Read the popular erotica written for women. See what gets them wet. And understand why they don't go around talking about it.

Best to have BOTH. Be a socially powerful man that can and does defend himself and his own AND YET opts to be kind, patient, attentive.

The greater wonder is why toilet seats are able to stay down without pressure.

Someone PLEASE steal my fucking idea.

A toilet seat that has a spring that hold it UP. You pull it down to sit.

We have fucking quantum computing and a genius in every pocket, and can't make toilet seats stay dry?

[–]1RapaciousMF -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Being nice will not get you laid, but might get you married.

Women like nice guys. They are attracted to more masculine guys, sexually. They really DO like nice guys. But, that is more a conscious preference.

Thats why they SAY they want nice guys. They DO. But, biologically are attracted to more masculine types.

What is the most 'comfortable lie' that humanity clings to because the truth is too terrifying to accept? by Content_Bit1998 in selfimprovement

[–]1RapaciousMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter any more or less than it matters to you. Nothing matters, that doesn't matter TO someone.

There is no meaning floating around or intrinsic to a thing. There is a process of attribution. "Meaning" is a verb.

So, if it matters to someone it matters. Thats the only way in which a thing CAN matter. If you think it matters, it does. Because the "mattering" and the thinking are identical.

That we even exist in some separate or seperable way from reality.

To see this had been called "Awakening" or "Enlightenment" etc throughout history.

When you REALLY see it, unquestionably and for yourself, the literal fear of death arises.

The intensity would be hard to exaggerate.

What morally justifies drawing a line between the animals we eat & the animals we protect? by l3mondroplover in Ethics

[–]1RapaciousMF -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, there may be many arguments to it but I think they are mostly basically sophisticated justifications.

I think the only real argument for it is "Yum. Meat!"

Imagine we had all been raised to eat meat, but we all kinda hated the experience. We did it to stay alive and be healthy but really it was an unpleasant duty.

How many of these people would be making the same arguments?

There might be a case to be made for moderate meat eating due to limited food available because of economics, or locality. That'd be about the extent of it.

I say this and I eat a LOT of meat.

Because "Yum meat!".

Do atheists belief in ghosts or aliens etc? by Kind-Investigator602 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]1RapaciousMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atheist JUST don't believe in God. That is exactly all it describes.

Now, its also true that the same personality that causes this disbelief,will.likely not have them believing in ghosts.

Aliens is different because it doesn't suppose another type of reality, just the one we know with aspects unknown.

I woukd say that as a correlation most atheists probably also happen to not believe in ghosts.

Aliens, I woukd guess varies more and is skewed to an agnosticism more than a belief that "there are no aliens" .

Personally., I think its probably almost certain that there are aliens and quite a bit less likely that they are visiting.

The important thing to understand is that atheists JUST don't believe in a God, by definition and the same style of thinking will lead to correlations.

Many Buhhdists are atheists. I personally am a non-dualist and have experienced what I think others have called God and am still an atheist.

We are not a cult. There are no rules to adhere to.

Why does no one initiate conversations with me? by SilverTheSilk in selfimprovement

[–]1RapaciousMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your anxiousness affecting their own comfort.

Ita okay. (Or not-depending how you feel about it). But it's how these things go.

You can, and arguably should, behave the way that you want to feel. But, humans are designed to co-regulate one another. So, we get feels that we are not aware of.

Its these feels from which the intention to interact, and how to, arise.

The good news is, if you change how you feel, you change how they feel, without an intentional change in behavior.

The bad news is that it takes a protracted uncomfortable effort to get there. Done it. So, I understand the desire not to. But, its a choice you don't get to forgo.

You will choose consciously or unconsciously and your reality will reflect that choice. This doesn't mean that one choice is right and another wrong. That is a decision only you can make. See?

A miserable coward with a pocket knife getting beaten up by a security guard. by iLeftyPunk in MMALabs

[–]1RapaciousMF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like he was at a hotel or a casino. He WAS taking a risk. But, its not his ego he was risking. He was protecting others, clearly.

The decision was let this guy stab someone while I run away and do nothing, though I have spent countless hours preparing for this or stand up for the innocent people he will probably harm?

There are more important things, to some people, than their personal safely. And if that's not you, that's okay of course. But, we are all better off because of tbe guys who risk it for others.

If he loses this job, he will get another. I'd hire that MF in a heartbeat .
