A reflection for Leo and the tone he sets on his blog and in this forum. For quite somewhile now, I feel a growing distain to open the blog and the forum. Although Leo openly points out a big deal of his work is exposing human falsehood which prevents you of reaching the Truth. It becomes apparent that it is the main tone on his blog, which for a long time carried over his more pessimistic tone on the forum as well (although lately it feels a bit more neutral, but he also refrains from replying to much). The logical fallacy that I get from Leo's communication on his mission, is that exposing falsehood does not lead to Truth by itself. I know that Leo is aware of that, but it does not reflect on his blog subjects. He talks about Love and what it takes to reach Love, but rarely provides the good examples that can be found on Love, and yes they are there. Where does the distain come from? Constant exposure to the negative aspect of humanity does not work well to elevate the tone and set a positive outlook for the future of humanity. It also feels the tone of the blog is replicated on the forum as well. As a lot of people here somehow look towards Leo as the tone setter, (consciously or unconsciously) and it's hard to find uplifting examples of the outlook on human existence in his communication on the blog and the forum. Maybe it's more the INTP nature of Leo to focus on the factual nature of his work and thereby neglecting the more emotional nature. Also I think Leo is to limited in his US centered approach. Although he exposes himself to a variety of YouTube media, this media is mostly filtered by the creator itself. This is the nature of human communication ofcourse, the further you get from the source the more noise there is. Especially on international topics on his blog, which often is a video from a Westerner (American or European) looking through their (Western) POV. One of the most difficult tasks for a website is how to weigh your direction when it comes to satisfy the current user base, and from another perspective attracting new users. Probably Leo is not directing to much in these kind of terms. But maybe something to think about. At some point the loyal follower see the mechanism that runs falsehood, by being exposed by so many examples. Which is exactly the goal of his approach, teaching you to see it on your own. At that point the loyal follower has no reason to come back to the blog if the mechanism is exposed because it shows nothing new anymore. So at some point the loyal follower drops out. I wonder if he has enough metrics from his site to see what is going on, how many returning IP addresses compared to new IP addresses over time. So my request is to mix in some positive stuff as well. How humanity is catering to love and truth, maybe not all has to be with a capital T, but it can balance the emotional side of the blog as well. And maybe a more positive mind set on the blog can change the tone on the forum as well. + A more neutral POV and letting go more of the US (Western) centered POV, especially when it comes international subjects. @Leo Gura Not telling you how to run your site, just giving some honest feedback from my perspective and my journey when it comes to how I experience the blog (and forum). Curious to see if I'm the only one.

I had fear or flying, really blew that up in my head. Flew for the first time in 8 years this month and it was not bad. Now I'm looking forward to my next flight π

The truth-seeking narrative is cope. What you call spirituality is just preference-driven consciousness training. The only difference between a spiritual teacher and a psych patient is which direction they train their consciousness in. One aims at love, hits love and calls it truth. The other aims at threat, hits threat and calls it truth. Both trained consciousness in a direction. Both arrived exactly where they pointed. Both claimed discovery. One gets a retreat center, the other gets a prescription. lol "Seek, and ye shall find." How does this insight get so little attention? Go looking for rocks, find rocks. Go looking for love, find love. Go looking for threat, find threat. Go looking for God, find God. Go looking for meaninglessness, find meaninglessness. Ask this community what spirituality is for and they'll say equanimity, peace, love, presence. Interesting how these just so happen to be things they desperately want. People rig the game so that winning = getting what they wanted all along. When they hit the target they're aiming for, they call it "discovery of reality". "Seek and ye shall find" is not a strategy to acquire something. It's a fucking warningπ. Don't mistake the reflection for the mirror.

But this is not really true. You make it sound like it's an objective criteria while it is not. First you must be awake, alive, not sick, not doing something else, not drowning in water, not too tired. You must be potent to procreate, not too young or old. And you must also be in a certain mind state to even notice these women, not too occupied with work. So when these THOUSANDS of criteria are met, then you also filter out on certain looks. And this happens automatically, so how can it be superficial? Unless maybe you're making a list or something. Is it superficial that you only want to breathe in fresh air and not car fumes? Is it superficial when you're eating your favorite foods? Why aren't you eating my favorite foods? Did you feel less superficial opening this thread? π

This is a fantastic read so far! I'm planning to do the same in november this year and i'm already experience some anxious thoughts about the whole ordeal. I'm not going for dating or pickup or such specifically. I've just became 34 years old and i'm really longing for an adventure to embark on alone. Your adventure is very inspirational. I'll follow you progress for sure!
-
You mean share my profile on here? Hell no π @Hojo oh shit you're right, I forgot about that. I remember literally thinking a few months ago: "dating apps must be terrible now because of Ai, I definitely won't use them again". Then I started to travel and voila.
-
Yeah I've thought about it some more. I guess that animals only care about food and stuff, then humans have broader interests, and then God cares about literally everything.

Speaking of which, I found it to be an interesting tool to discuss SD with. It seems to have quite a good grasp about the model. Its fascinating to see how it keeps bringing it up with examples further down the conversation. I've deliberately giving it false answers to see if it would correct me with the correct stages, and it did!

@Hojo Youβre being ironic, right? Reassure me.

Wait a second, have I seen you in one of his videos

1. Seems like there is infinite ways to explore consciousbess more 2. Even if you go back, like I said, the quality will be completely different. You wont get lost in chasing money, sex, and status, and mastering survival β but in doing meaningful work that is not optimized for Survival.

I donβt think thatβs a good idea. Psychedelics are really the opposite of what your sister needs, unless she wants to indulge in madness, which could be interesting but very very dangerous. To your sister every psychedelic is potentially salvia. The only drugs that are safe for her are benzos. And even then, only occasionally.

I know many men of similar drive. One of my ex's was insatiable. I couldnt keep up. And I had to explain to him, with references, how women can't just keep rooting all day and not run into issues with their sparrow π€£ You probably know of Frank Yang - his sex drive was his biggest biological conditioning. He turned to spirituality to help with it. And obviously he found... A lot more! Lol

Diary: Medical School Journal. Chapter: Medical Doctors need to be creative. Type: Self-Evident. Extracurricular. oββββββββOββββββββo One Flow Song per day or thereabouts posted now. Flow, means all lyrics are written on the fly, all of them, to preserve the mystery, the ether of wherever they come from. I also makeup the style on the fly as well, the Style is where you insert the genres of music you want the lyrics to be in which includes timing, and thematic emphasis. Daily subconscious unpacking here is to re-build intuitive creativity overtime, and its compressed precision. The only thing I spend a little time on at most, is choosing the variation Suno comes up with. It misses many nuances, while opening new dimensions. Wonβt always be enough time to listen to whole Suno (or AI) variation. For the former I still have the training of my ear, and for the latter, continual daily re-synthesis of dimensions of musical creativity I hadnβt explored before. Straightforward goal, within a year, habe a perfected new βgenreβ I can leap to have my own music. In a few months, perhaps a little more, I will just sing the music and lyrics myself totally on the fly, using Suno (or just AI) solely as a music non-vocal engine. I spend a maximum of 30 minutes of creation time per song: Timed every single time. All lyrics are hosted here: https://ailivinlove.github.io/Lyrics/ All songs hosted as below on SoundCloud: 31/01/2026 - The Skies Above https://on.soundcloud.com/bIVkpJ55AQssn7Mo86 Total Time Spent Creating: 26 minutes. oββββββββOββββββββo This post will be edited and deleted as needed to ensure that all songs can be posted with their respective date directly underneath every other song in calendar order. oββββββββOββββββββ

I feel like music is more about Beauty than Love, but Love is definitely there too.
