I agree with this. Ghetto Culture is also being romanticized by the media. It is an aesthetic now. So sometimes a person who is ghetto might come from a wealthy family. Social media, especially, is very ghetto. It's literally like living in the digital-hood. haha If you spend too much time on social media, you may end up full of anger and becoming very ghetto. And then sometimes that ghetto-ness of social media, bleeds into real life

Alex O'Connor isn't American and I am not sure if he is left wing? But he is a good example of someone who is challenging the right and calling out their hypocrisy. With the uprising of Christian nationalism, we are going to need more people like Alex O'Connor who know the Bible inside and out and can debunk the hypocrisy from the right. It's funny because Alex originally studied the Bible to debunk "sincere Christians" and now he is using his knowledge to debunk the people who are "pretending to be Christian to get people to vote for their side". Alex O'Connor's recent interview with Jordan Peterson was extremely embarrassing for Jordan. And his interview with Richard Dawkins was good too.

This is a very painful belief to carry.

This reminds me of a quote by Byron Katie: "There are no new stressful thoughts. They're all recycled."

One of the best ways to get out of all of this blackpill and redpill stuff is to get off social media and go outside. Take a break from social media for a couple of months and read books instead, watch comedy TV, go out and have fun with people in your city etc. Most of the happy men and women in happy relationships do not have their face glued to their computer/phone/ipad.

This doesn't last forever. After awakening, every story about life begins to look like pure B.S. and lies. And it's not just the stories in people's minds when you socialize........ but even the stories in television shows/movies, fiction books, and autobiographies. All of human life just looks like pure nonsense. But then, if you are intentional about it and aren't choosing to float in a neo-advaita/nihilism lands forever, eventually you will begin to integrate everything. And you will be able to read fiction and autobiographies, watch TV/movies, socialize, and fully engage in life again.........it's not that the stories aren't B.S. anymore, they still are B.S. haha It's just that when you integrate everything, you can enjoy, play, create, and dance with the B.S and the lies. You begin to enjoy the lies. It becomes like a video game, in a sense. Some lies/stories even produce oxytocin and dopamine in the body. Those are my favorite. haha And that gets really fun to play with, even though you see through it as just a "happy dream".

Here is also a video that compares the two very well. Robert and Emily Perry's recent work in the Circle of Atonement is good stuff. They are deep, thorough thinkers but yet very open minded and loving.

Very well said.

Even if Trump is against it......the amount of MAGA supporters who were chanting approval for it, is mind blowing.

The thing is, why aren't these men seeking out single conservative women? There are a lot of single conservative women. Some of these women are marriage-crazy. And husband-crazy. And many of them are so desperate for a husband they are losing their minds. A lot of these men who want to get married and live by traditional values, are chasing women who want nothing to do with traditional values. So then the agenda becomes "How can we control and manipulate free spirited Liberal women to do what we want them to do? How can we make Liberal women behave in the way we want them to?" Of course they should be frustrated doing this. You cannot force a woman, or a person rather....... who doesn't want anything to do with tradition, religion or people controlling their life, to just bend to your will. Especially if they are an Atheist. Now I could see the government trying to work on indoctrinating children/teens/college students raised by Liberal parents or indoctrinating children/teens/college students raised by Atheist parents. Change what is being portrayed in the media, on TV, what goes viral, etc. so that Liberal children/teens/college students become indoctrinated at younger ages into wanting traditional values. But you aren't going to indoctrinate and bend the minds of a full blown adult Liberal or Atheist women past a certain age. If you want to manipulate, control, radicalize, brainwash, re-program, condition, make someone bend to your will, *all of the synonyms of controlling other people here* etc. ....you have to do it when they are younger. But is this something we should do to the youth? Will this really end up "making people happy and end societal decay" as you claim?

I can't speak for homophobic Atheists. But for homophobic religious people, their religion views it as a sin. And when you view something as a sin, it is automatically demonized in a way. It's not that they just hate homosexuals.....they also hate themselves for their own sins too. It's not a specific attack on gay people, necessarily. It's more like an attack on human nature, in general....and that includes gay people.

When you focus on "why doesn't this book include_____________________" or "why doesn't this teacher teach _______________". it can consume a lot of your time. You won't find all the answers in one place. Sometimes the answers I was looking for were found in books on Philosophy and Psychology, not in the Spiritual community.

I am assuming "bits of cheese" = oxytocin and dopamine? I think Neville Goddard was above the chase of bits of cheese, maybe? He still enjoyed earthly life and relationships but he had full control over his dopamine/oxytocin levels. "When you can call up at will whatsoever image you please, when the forms of your imagination are as vivid to you as the forms of nature, you are master of your fate." - Neville Goddard I feel as though if you have mastery over your imagination, you will have more power and control over the "bits of cheese" that the ego can experience. You won't need to go to the external world to generate oxytocin and dopamine......you will just be able to go into your imagination and generate it whenever you want. It kind of destroys the world before your eyes, but in a more pleasurable way than other spiritual teachings. So it feels good cause it puts your oxytocin/dopamine back into your hands. And you still participate in the world and with people, but you have more access to your own oxytocin/dopamine while doing so, which feels awesome. I guess, God is transcended beyond even the preference for oxytocin and dopamine? and also beyond the desire to even bother transcending the craving for bits of cheese? in that, there is nothing wrong with depending on the external world/other people for bits of cheese. and that earthly love/romantic love is the same as self love....if there is only one. haha I don't know.

Same here. This is a beautiful description of unconditional love. Almost like a heaven or utopia. A place of rest. Home. But in casual conversation, the common person would see this as the void, emptiness, depressing, nihilism, dangerous, a threat to society and a threat to hierarchy. This description, is received with terror.....as the implications of this causes all of the walls of the psyche to have an error message. As the psyche is built primarily off of separation, division and judgements. But even the rejection of the description. is within the love. Even the terror of hearing this, is within the love. Even the "limited biased selfish human shit" is within the love Everything gets swallowed in it.

You can do both. You don't need to choose 1 or the other. I love Leo's teachings and I love Christianity. I love both. I read Christian books, listen to Christian music, go to church every Sunday ..........and still watch Leo's videos. haha Christianity has some gold mines of wisdom that you don't get from non-duality/new age/spiritual circles. Some Christian books are more calming than a meditation retreat. haha What you really need is freedom from fear. Fear leads to psychosis. Fear based new age teachings can lead to conspiracy theories about aliens or dark secrets in the government that make people loose their mind. Fear based Christian teachings can lead you to nightmares about demons and hell. When you are freed from fear...... you can learn from Atheists, you can learn from Christians, you can learn from New Agers, you can learn from Pyschologists, you can learn from Philosophers, etc. Right now, you are actually scared of Christianity....... You think you are scared of Leo's lamp.... but it's actually Christianity that is scaring you. Find ways to be less scared of Christianity. What helped me with psychosis is reading books like "I Hear His Whisper: Encounter God's Heart for You" from Brian Simmons..... or watching sermons from Christians who were more loving, kind, and more Christ-like. And what helped others is watching a ton of Atheist videos that debunk Christian theology....which reduces fear. There are some Atheists who debunk demons and hell very thoroughly.

Stage Blue conservatives have been going against the manosphere/red pill lately. Because I think the manosphere/red pill is actually Stage Purple mixed in with Stage Orange. They aren't truly Stage Blue. They kind of skip Stage Blue........but mix Stage Purple values (women giving up their body to sacrifice for the tribe) with Stage Orange (money, success, individualism etc.) values. And Stage Blue conservatives are noticing this lately.........and they are trying to create distance from the Stage Purple/Orange manosphere. Stage Blue conservatives and Stage Purple/Orange red pillers have a lot in common, when it comes to women submitting to men. This makes Stage Blue conservatives very confused because they want to support the manosphere....but can't do that because the manosphere men are having sex outside of marriage, not valuing marriage, not practing monogamy, not commiting to 1 woman, etc. What is arising is a combination we haven't seen before haha which is a Stage Purple/Stage Orange mix.

It doesn't work like that. The clarity, happiness, love and bliss you had before is still within you. It is metaphysically impossible for it to go elsewhere. It's more so that you "gained" more inner noise. Not that you lost anything.

This reminds me of Jordan Peterson. Your entire post, actually, reminds me of Jordan Peterson. Jordan sees through a lot of lies. But he purposely holds unto lies and mythology to "create order in society"....even if he doesn't fully believe in them himself. He thinks none of the Bible/God is real but that the Bible is the best book for fools to follow. Alex O'Connor called him out on his bluff:

A lot of stay at home mom's are millionaires, nowadays, due to social media. haha

No one will ever see who you are. Whatever they see, is not actually you. It can never be. Not to sound scary. haha But on a metaphysical level, no one can actually see who you are. Also, you don't "create" who you are. Because who you are never changes from the day you were born. It doesn't ever change. We all have the same identity ....... in the ultimate truth of things. We share the same identity. However; you can shape an identity to engage in the human world haha with I AM statements. How do you currently see yourself, right now? I AM ___________________ (Ex: I am an avid reader. I am loved. I am whole. I am beautiful. I am caring towards others. I am anxious but take risks. I am good at math. etc.) Who do you want to be in the future? I AM BECOMING ____________________ (Ex: I am becoming a great chef. I am becoming a parent. I am becoming a more patient person. I am becoming more aware.) And then be proactive on your goals. However; none of this is who you are. This is more changing the human conditioning..... than changing the human identity. The human identity can not actually be changed from birth. We just usually identity as a million things that we are not.

I don't think you move "beyond belonging". When you were born, you already belonged. You can't escape or ever leave belonging. Belonging isn't something you "gain" or "lose". It's always present.

Maybe I am wrong but I think it's possible to be even Stage Turquoise and conservative. The higher the stages .... the more you see the grey in Liberal vs. Conservative. It's not this Black and White thing. Good vs. Evil thing.

"Value" and "Worth" doesn't exist. They are illusions of the mind. Hierarchy of worth and value creates seperation and distortion. Levels of Consciousness like the LOC system and Spiral Dynamics are also an illusion. But people use them as a tools in the world of duality to make sense of what is happening. But even these tools are illusions and not ultimately true.

What are they doing that is worrying you? My parents are Stage Blue but I've never seen them as "something that needs help".

The Law of Attraction works in the material world of duality. I actually think the Law of Assumption by Neville Goddard is even more powerful. Neville Goddard's teachings on the Law of Assumption almost remind me of witchcraft because of how much they can control reality. But I agree with what Ken Wilber said about ego and narcissism. Law of Attraction's weakness , in my opinion, is the topic of death. None of these teachers go deeply into how everything we manifest into our lives will decay and die. Realizing that all manifestations end in death is not a hot topic for the Law of Attraction. The ego/narcissism hates talking about death. But you can't really avoid death. So the Law of Attraction is an incomplete teaching.
