You expresses a week ago that you felt having lots of casual sex may not be your way and finiding a 'soul mate' would. Do you still feel that way? I mean this woman sounded like a wonderful person at the start (though I supposed people who always claim to be 'altruistic' may be doing it to virtue signal and show off how 'moral' they are)
That's a good question, I'll try to answer the best I can.
I'm looking for something deeper than just banging hot chicks, but nothing as deep as a "lifelong partner," if that makes sense. I agree with Shannon's thoughts and experiences with soulmates, that there's multiple kinds of them, and everyone has more than one soulmate. I'm setting my life up in a manner that I'll be free to search for those women and we can enter into an intellectually and physically stimulating relationship.
The major difference is: I met her LONG before I ran AM6 or even really started studying mental alchemy, so my entire ego was very much invested in "the system." I thought it was my duty as a man to work a 9-5, start a family, buy property, etc. etc. Because of that, I was easily manipulated. Thing is, I don't think this woman is a terrible person. She's slowly turning her life around and she's actually pleasant to talk to in small doses. She too, is a victim of this system designed to suppress consciousness.
Now, my goal in life is TRUE self-actualization. I've spent an entire year with AM6 as my mentor. It has helped me to completely deconstruct that "9-5" ego-image and urged me to focus on my greatest dreams and what I want. When I say I've become manipulation proof, I mean it. I had a female friend try it the other day, and she's very much angry that I was completely resistant to her tactics. Because my mind and essence are now acting in a more natural, masculine way, I feel like I'd be able to enter into a deep relationship with women successfully, rather than how it was before: a compulsion.
Hope that answers your question.
