  1. self-centered thread

    If these artificial contrivances make women happy, and don't interfere with their own free will. Then Is see no reason an individual shouldn't explore the use of them. Especially if it's natural to the person to learn from others and use what they learned. If the person uses these to harm people, that too is his path. We all need to learn are own way, and from the mistakes and experiences from the past. If a person chooses to be themselves and wait for a girl to show up. That too is a fine way that I imagine is a perfect path for many out there. Your advice rings true for many. PS. I'm not a PUA.
  2. self-centered thread

    i've been in the epiphany zone lately. Largely thanks to the Work of Byron Katie. I've seen a different way of thinking. I wasn't mad at her for cheating, I was mad at me for not making her feel special and giving her the attention her father never did. I think this would have made the difference, BUT I would never choose to do that because I'd have to forfeit time out of my life mission, which is not congruent with my core self. Who am I to judge PUAs? The code of many PUAs is to leave women in a better place than you met them in. That's more than I do for girls I don't even know yet. My focal point is Yichuan(as it seems to be the most fruitful). Secondary point is questioning my judgements(too, very fruitful). Lastly, visualizations of my future of being a man embodying the yang essence<-- what DeAngelo is all about, and apparently all yin women. But most importantly, this will purify my mission, with or without a girl.

    yeah, she needs to help herself. everything in her life has always come to her, she needs to earn something.
  4. Moving on

    for some reason I thought of this Huna meditation. It might interest you. It is the same as many other meditations. Ancient Huna It is a meditation on the light.

    she said she would do anything to stay with me. I was considering taking her back, not having sex, and going to AA with her. but I don't know if that's how things would work out. I think it's best if I just go through with life. She believes in the taoist way of life, and chakra meditations, and she has access to an intuitive spiritual counselor who use to be an addiction counselor. She said if she wasn't with me, there would be no point for her to do these things that could help her be happy. So hopefully she realizes what's best for her.
  6. My house is so cluttered, and it's like a garage sale in every room. I also don't have any kind of mat for yoga on these hardwood floors. I don' t see why shoes would interfere with sun salutations, possibly a slight more distance from earth, but tell me if so. thank you.
  7. self-centered thread

    no, i'm a realy bum, got no job. What I was trying to say is her dad would try to buy her love. Her eye was never on his checkbook. If she wasn't such an alcoholic she wouldn't have cheated on me, she's really young, really small, and drinks more than heavy set men do to get trashed. She never cheated sober. Yeah, getting checked is smart for everyone.
  8. self-centered thread

    that's really sad to know. This girl's father, she knows his checkbook better than she knows him. She can't stand the guy, likes his humor, but can't stand him. He didn't raise her, her mother did. But her mother passed on a few years ago. Dad remarried 3 months later to a gold-digger. I will pray for her to find independant sustained happiness while I move on in life.

    hahahaha too many things, seriously too many. Mostly from growing mushrooms. 10x10 room.
  11. self-centered thread

    Give energy through the voice to girls from your fourth chakra, not your second. This is what PUAs are missing. the game is an ego game. Being a real man, is no game. If you are essentially a yang individual, develop yourself as a man. This is attractive.
  12. Bruce Lee

    he was fast and strong. I also heard he was an ass. dude got skill but was still an ass. wouldn't want to be punched by him. I guess he didn't complete his training with Yip Man. dude could still pack a punch though.
  13. self-centered thread

    wow, good point. hahaha, I laugh. My yichuan work will develop the energy that attracts women, I know that for sure. My social inhibitions could be relieved if I let many a girl's egos prove themselves to my manufactured ego. <-- actually, this seems counterproductive and unhealthy. Maybe if I didn't have to create more of an ego than I already have, it would work. I don't know. At the same time I could see it being integral, I want to know what Dave thinks of PU for seekers of truth.
  14. self-centered thread

    I tried to PUA a while ago, I will never do MM or RJ or an canned crap. Natural game possibly. I'll consider this. Oneitis is bull, I don't believe in it. edit: god damnit, you guys suck. Now I have a whole lot more work on my plate.

    thanks for the site. My sifu didn't push anyone to their toes. He simply set it us a goal. His advice was to do whatever hobby I do, playing the guitar or watching TV, whatever people do these days, but with your legs extended out in front of you. No pushing involved. I believe I could have done the exercise routine you just gave, many times in that two day period, and come back being able to touch my toes,

    well put
  17. self-centered thread

    you guys and gals are cool thank you
  18. self-centered thread

    yessum. I will look into this Byron Katie, she sounds really cool. As far as the break up goes, i've realized that is not when I feel it. Of course I will miss her. I will use EFT on the empathy I feel for her pain, when i think about that is when I feel it.
  19. fastest route to flexibility

    Although the risk of injury is there, I believe the risk exists in any type of exercise. Most of the time, the class is just a test of your discipline. I've been thinking of beginning sun salutations to hopefully someday be able to to do full sets out of ashtanga yoga. In which my approach would be different. Maybe I will less the intensity of my stretch and increase how much I do stretch throughout the day.
  20. self-centered thread

    I said she is with a beautiful soul, just like you and me. But it only shines through her ego rarely. Just something I felt was worth telling, that she does have quality show itself through her at times of peace.
  21. self-centered thread

    right on guys. That hit the spot. There have been so many moments where I accepted the unacceptable in our relationship just because I believed that accepting things as they are, was a part of growing. The time I came and put gas in her gasless car when it was just her and the guy that cheated on me in it, he lives about 25 miles away so she had to have picked him up, then gave the guy a place to stay, then payed for his bus to get home in the morning. I thought i'd grow from accepting that and even being giving. but maybe it did the opposite for me maybe not, it doesn't matter either way, cause that's the past, and now's now. Just 5 minutes ago, I started working on the cord on the back of my heart chakra that creates much guilt. She is crushed, I haven't seen a person so emotionally destroyed. It sucks that doing the right thing feels like the wrong way to go, and when I know it opens up a new life. Well, i'm going to go get some clothes so I don't look like a bum. My style of sweatpants(easy to train at bus stops in those) and the shirt i've been wearing for 2 weeks tends to not be too impressive to women. After training of course, I will take Michael's advice, i'm going to revive the old table tennis table from the garage, practice that, or basketball. I will get very passionate about this. I will work harder than I've been too.
  22. fastest route to flexibility

    I want to loosen my body in order to function on the level of using my body to fight. Assuming I grow emotionally, mentally, and physically in the process of building the body and mentality to be able to fight. On one monday a few months ago, my yichuan sifu had us sit on the floor, legs straight out, feet together, and to try and touch our toes. My fingertips were at mid-shin. He said by wednesday, I should be touching my feet. Me and some of the other new students laughed. On the way out a buddy said," don't forget, be able to touch your toes by next class." We laughed. Then a student that has been around for a while longer runs out to the street and says," hey Bobby, you can touch your toes by wednesday, let gravity help you". Well, came wednesday, I could touch my feet, I just had to push myself and handle the hurt. There are other stretches that i'm not up to par with. This is why I seek a loose body.

    I see my teacher pull his head down to his knees, and I just say, damn. I can touch the floor with shoes with my legs straight. After an intense day of stretching, my hamstrings were sore and I was way tighter than I was. But I just stretched through it and I'm limber again, still with sore muscles, but I can retain my elasticity. Was this an injury or a good stretch? and yes, a flexibility routine will continue through my life.
  24. DNA Activation

    All meditation and qigong activates new DNA. Just find a good system. I got an aura cleansing via entity related therapy. I went for about two months, once a week. Significant growth underwent along side my Yiquan. I would say if I still had the money, and had still been going, i'd be much farther along.

    so, when I posted the above about an hour ago, I had to struggle to touch mah toes. I just did some good ol' stretching and increased my stretch at least a half an inch, while feeling a ton better. this was my resource: Contortionist's Handbook and I did these first two exercises: Frontbends I'll post back with my results after a month or so. This is going to be great I believe. I thought this was a nice exercise:
