"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"Think and grow rich"- Napoleon Hill

Good book!

If you've read it, I have a quick question though. Infinite Intellegence. What the **** is that then? I have a feeling it'll be abstract hippie crap, but if I've missed something tell me.

Such a good book concerning mindset, i had mine all wrong, which explains why I'd come up against a brick wall lately. Damn I suck sometimes, but at least I can admit it and sort it out.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It is not really hippie crap. Infinite intelligence is that which you tap into if you follow your intuition and make good decisions from it.
It has different names such as Flow, Superconsious Mind (Brian Tracy), etc...

Another example is the way Keith Richards explains how he writes songs: " The songs I write pretty much already exist, I just pick them up from the air"

Yet another one: Collective Unconsious

Hope this helps

By the way: Think and Grow Rich kicks ass

Re:

Not quite sure what hippie crap you're referring to. A few of my friends are hippies and some wear the drug rugs, but few have religious ties or care less about religion right now.

Infinite intelligence is that component of our psyche that's a "gut feeling". It's the "I know something is up" but you just can't explain it feeling. For me, it's finely tuned, as 50% of the time or more I have 1, it's right. It's happened so much, I KNOW, not just THINK, but KNOW, we're tapped into something far bigger than we can conceive.

Think of the world. Much of what has been done, has been with stuff that's already here, only someone else has had the foresight to feel it and do it without reserve. Nobody created anything new on this planet; they only used what was here, recombined it, reorganized it, and generated a new piece.

Buildings are only created from the existing planet and elements.
Songs exist with the present technology, someone just works to find the melody and tunes.
A story or concept exists, it's only waiting to be found.

It's no different than gold, or oil, or diamonds; they exist, they're just waiting on someone persistant enough to find them.

The Mind is a great thing, as it helps with the technical aspects of solving problems, deriving solutions, understanding situations, and so forth. It's like the engineer. But the Spirit, or the Infinite Intelligence we encompass houses much more of the grander ideas we feel.

After collaborating over much of the books I digest, steadily a vision comes to fruition for me of what I 'felt' through the technical knowledge I gained. I had a vision of a business, but building it with real world concepts, tangible elements, was holding me back. After persisting through many books on marketing, finance, sales, leadership, organization, customer service and so on, the physical idea came to me. Prior to that, all I had was a 'feeling' of what I wanted. By using the past of others and the wisdom of previous business owners, it came to me.

I agree with the post above, "Inf. Intel" is all about using your intuition. I kind of think of it as thinking about all my options before making a decision, think every outcome out, then whatever my gut tells me would be the best outcome, I go with that!

"Think and Grow Rich" is a great book, I've read it many times. You should also try Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People."

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

^^^^ I know, I'm going to skooch down to london tomorrow and find it.

Cheers, I see what is being said a lot clearer now. The way it sounded to me was veering towards mysticism and talk of soul, none of which I am very keen on.

I don't pretend to know anywhere near as much as I should do on the subject of the collective unconcious, when I encountered it, on a video about near death experiences i think, it sounded too far fetched, but now I'm warming to it.

My art teacher once said "no one is original, you just take a different look at the same substance everyone always has". Perhaps he knew more than he was letting on... anyway, thanks for the replies, book makes even more sublime sense now:).

Oh, Ragin_Asian- Yeah, it's very good. Nice read too.

Is it different from "How to win friends and influence people"?
