Completely delusional. - Hila is multiple layers out of his league, he’s not attractive looks or personality wise especially after he got fat - Those weren’t his best years, he was a weird fringe Internet guy with no prospects when they got married - You’re just making things up, there’s no information on their sex life.

I've met several couples in their mid 20s to early 30s who have been together since they were like 18-19 and haven't really experienced single life at all. Even though they were all healthy relationships, almost universally they said they felt like they'd missed out on that aspect of life, male or female. If you've only ever been with one person you're most likely going to experience that FOMO at some point. Better to get that out of your system, get some experience with several types of people to really figure out who you're compatible with, and then settle down when you find the right person. This applies to male or female btw. I recommend you stop judging women for sleeping around a bit or thinking that it makes them "low quality"

I do feel bad for his wife. She always struck me as fiercely loyal.

Ethan is a good looking guy for his age. When he was younger he looked above average. I don't know what you guys are on. Obviously his morals are fucked up and eventually lead to his demise. But in terms of social skils he seems well calibrated and likeable if you don't know about his politcs. He single handedly kept that dead beat show alive. Without him it is going to die. If you have his fluff talk skills and you look average you can get girls left and right. He basically gave all of best years to that dead beat horse faced wife who apparently give him sex only once a year or something. Being rejected by your gf or wife hurts bad. So I think he just wanted to get back at his wife by flaunting it in her face but obviously in the process he self destructed and blew up his brand too which is kind of stupid. I think women underestimate how much it hurts to be sexually rejected. Obviously he led himself go too, getting fat and such. It is a classic example of a mid life crises, going out with a bang instead of a slow wissle.

@cetus This was actually one of the videos that had the biggest impact on me when I first discovered Leo's work. I'm curious, what exactly did you do that led to this realization? Was it something that happened spontaneously, or was there a particular practice that triggered it? And how did you recognize that shift in awareness? I feel like I'm already significantly more aware than most people around me, but I'd never go as far as calling myself enlightened. So I'm trying to understand what separates simply becoming more conscious from having an actual awakening. -
I find this line of thought fascinating. Because i agree. It feels like it is the right thing to believe in. But for most people especially in this community it's like mental masturbation. If this was a serious political community, then i would like to see post like, okay how do we implement this as a policy, how to get more eyes on it, how to become a mayor, president, etc. like i don't believe anyones real life is strongly related to polical landscape except the time you choose to vote. That's about it. To have such a strong identity, biases and opinions just to pick a side once every 4 years seems overkill to me. Imagine I had strong opinions on psychedelics and how people should use it, the insights etc, but i personally never take it and i just contemplate on it, just to pick which mushroom is the best once ever 4 years.....isn't that crazy. I would definitely listent to leo who actually took the mushrooms and value his experience more. But politics feels like if your opinions match my biases, then we good, else let's argue debate etc. if feel the same way about sports too... Again I'm not against having political opinions, feels important to many. I get it. But as a public figure I don't feel Leo needs to hold on to politics so tightly, since in most cases it's just mental masturbation. Most people are like "ah thats a great take. Okay let me go back to my work and meet those deadlines." I think leo is more spritual teacher than a political figure. Its okay for a spritual figure to have political opinions. But like every opinion, it's just an opinion. Like what every other person has. It could be better opinion, worst opinion, but that's all it is. Let's not make it to be a bigger deal than that.

@Inliytened1 Thanks for sharing that. One thing I’m really curious about is this: at what point did you recognize that what you were experiencing was actually an enlightenment experience, rather than just a strong feeling, insight, or altered state? That distinction is really important to me, because I think a lot of confusion can happen there. Someone can have a profound or peaceful experience and then label it “enlightenment,” but how do you know for sure it was something deeper than just a temporary state of mind? -
It does matter to me cause I want to feel special. If she is giving it to everybody then I am not someone that she felt I was special for her, it's just my turn. About tattoos I don't care at all unless they cover the whole body or something like that. So yeah it would matter to me if I wanted a serious relationship (but I don't want anything serious anymore). Even for something not serious, I will enjoy it more if I feel I was chosen and I am special to her but I won't say no if I am not special to her though.

Bias against sports. I have seen you criticise watching sports as aping in the past. But sports channel a lot of darker impulses in a more civilised manner

Good point

Big Self as in God?

To be honest, I think this kind of bias can often be quite beneficial. As Osho famously said, "the people are retarded." But the reality is that people are only retarded most of the time. Sometimes things are popular or trendy for good reason, and if you instinctively dismiss anything simply because it's conformist, you're inevitably going to misjudge things some of the time. I notice this pattern a lot because my dad has it to the nth degree, and I've seen both the benefits and drawbacks firsthand. Much of the success he's had in life can be attributed to his non-conformist outlook, but so can many of the problems he's encountered. It's very much a double-edged sword. Another (slightly random) example I've noticed is among frequent travellers and backpackers. You'll meet people who insist you should avoid anywhere that's "too touristy", and perhaps 80% of the time they have a point. But some places are popular precisely because they're incredible, and dismissing them outright means missing out on some genuinely amazing experiences. The irony is that this attitude is itself incredibly conformist within the backpacking community. In trying so hard to avoid following the crowd, you end up blindly following a different one.

@Thought Art Thank you . Hope he listens .
-
I love your perspective on this and it's very insightful. One counter point I would add is that you might not care about politics, but politics cares about you. It's our duty as citizens of a democracy to be informed and involved with politics as much as possible and the more the better.
-
Last thing I would say is that you are a very intellectual person, which is a gift. But with that gift can also come a curse and this might not be a bias, but more of something to be aware of. Because being intellectual and thinking comes many times also from a hard life and how much is a hard life alligned and the thinking of a hard life alligned with a good life that is actually happy and joyful. So forcing yourself to meditate versus just doing something fun for the sake of complete unproductivity and fun, like stupid jokes with friends, just having a nice coffee somewhere without thinking about politics and not even to "meditate" just to enjoy life beyond "GOD REALISATION" or any intellectual insight or even any channeling of God, just enjoying the simple things in life like eating an apple. looking out of the window, giving your family a hug and buying some great things, just stuff that isn't too intellectually based. This is not critisism, because without your intellect you wouldn't have built all this amazing stuff, like this forum and your youtube, but for your own happiness it might be standing in the way, even "meditation practice" can become just another task on your to do list then just having more fun and enjoying life.
-
Again, my thing isn't that you have an amazing opinion, i listen to it, that's how i know so much about American policies, more so than Indian politics. I don't understand why it is an identity thing . This behaviour works only in politics, it's like if i had super strong opinions on fishing and amazing insights on catching a fish, but i myself never fish myself or participate in fishing....then what is point of making fishing part of my identity? Its like I'm shouting into a void of fishermen hoping they will listen to me, which is fine as a hobby. But to make an identity feels a bit too much for me

Lol tickle sessions sounds like an interesting time

IDF wife

@Thought Art You have an encyclopedic knowledge of everything related to Qigong lol
-
But the problem is that I do not know what is best for me. And just 'trying it out' would cost quite a lot of time and effort.
-
Strong need to be intellectually right, even over everyone. A dislike of being disagreed with. Strong disgust of humans and people who not completely unbiased, but ignores own bias and assumes an absolute perspective. Very moralizing, but denies morality exists in theory. Strong preference for absolutist over nuanced thinking, E.g., all and every instead of some and sometimes. This thread is a good foundation for a shadow work video! It takes guts to ask for this kind of feedback. Respect!
-
@Vido Not to derail this thread but sit down and listen to his political videos. They are more advanced than anything else on YouTube. Or, most anywhere else. You want the most high level, advanced and non-partisan teachings on politics? Leo Gura did that.

Out of curiosity, what makes you gravitate towards politics. My understanding is that you are taking these Meta concepts about studying a person, ego, collective and then trying to understand politics through that lens. I get it. Its interesting maybe. But it's not like your passion per say. Since it it is were so, then actualized.org would be a political channel. I think you made one video with all the policies you would actually implement. When your life or work doesn't really affect the political landscape directly, why have such strong opinions? Maybe reality is that you need to be a little devil for the greater good? That's always a possibility. As an outsider, it feels like everyone is compelled to have an opinion from their pov. An ice cream man also has an opinion like why make it so hard to sell ice cream on street and how to change that. Teacher thinks they should be paid 250k which also makes sense. My observation is not that you have an interest towards politics, more so you take everything you learnt and apply it in a political lens, which literally every American does. I'm not against it. I simply find it fascinating. May be because I'm an immigrant and these things never affected me in survival sense. I'll be in canada today, couple years later I'll move us, later maybe europe. Also since India has been a colonial or ruled by someone for over 1000 years, people naturally try to find loop holes, meet their needs and move on. So there is not that much pressure to choose a side like in America In America, it feels like if you aligned in everyway except the political party then it's a deal breaker.

Here are the biases I think you have: You are biased against christianity You are biased against humans You are biased against Islam and religion You are biased against donald trump You are biased about your own intelligence you think yourself more intelligent than other humans. You are biased about yourself being a good Person. All these claims that you could have made millions by monetising your YouTube channel shows you’ve actually the tendency to do so and aren’t really that generous. You are biased when you use the term corruption all around. You use the term corruption everywhere you see yourself in the lens of the Victim. You’re clearly biased about the fact that you need life purpose to live a beautiful life. You are biased about your life purpose. You are so biased against Artificial intelligence. You are biased about your youtube channel. You keep posting about understanding the egoic mind. But you are so defensive when someone step on your toe. You clearly are speaking what you haven’t done. All this ego’s defense mechanisms that you claim you have understood actually got you by the balls and owning you. You are still not free from your own baggage but think you have gone passed that and became more developed than you actually are. You are biased abouty your own development and perhaps your IQ. I think in fact you overestimate your intelligence. here comes my biases I’m biased against people who don’t care about their hygiene i’m biased against some ethnicities even tho a lot of them are great people i’m biased against very fat girls i am biased against people that make sound while they eat with an open mouth and don’t close their mouthed that shit makes me instantly angry, or people who whistle. Whistling sometimes make me angry. i’m biased against my own religion to a certain degree and people who are very religious including people who wear religious clothes and try to show off as religious as much as they can i’m biased against some aspects of actualized.org i’m biased about french people I think they are the nicest people ever I am biased about some countries being more beautiful for me than others I am so biased about justice and people who shows injustice actions are strongly disliked from my prespectice I am biased against wearing a Hijabi. So biased. I think people shouldn’t cover their hair. That’s a big bias I have and i have tried to free myself from it and couldn’t i am so biased against crowded traffic i like to be in a non crowded street I’m so biased against cars I don’t like cars i’m biased with the fact that I prefer to stand with people who have been treated unproperly or with lack of respect i respect people with mental illness more than a normal person. I’m biased for the people with schizophrenie and they instantly get my pity i am biased that i like to stand with weak people and make them stronger i am so biased against mushrooms I hate it. It makes me disgusted
