  1. These are types. Each has a way of doing them well or poorly. Less or more consciously. Quality is happening.
  2. Within each relative type of aesthetic, there's higher and lower forms of aesthetic. There has to be a distinction being made between type and higher/lower. We are not in the absolute domain. There's a difference between young and old. Sure, if you take LSD, you could make anything look good, but thats not the truth. This is finite and there are limits. Torture is not love in the finite only in the absolute.
  3. Breathing should feel pleasurable...
  4. This is probably one of the biggest ones that trips people up and affect how contracted you are. When using the computer or a phone, the eyes tend to focus at a short distance. This creates like a cross eyed effect and put strain, and you could feel attention in your eyes. This tension has to be released because it constricts the vagues nerve. Without body awareness, it's hard to realize how much your eye tension is affecting your state of being, Simply relaxing in your eyes for some people triggers full body awareness. It's one of the centre points of it all. And it triggers breath awareness and solar plexus pleasure with breath where you can get a much nicer relaxed vagus pleasure from it.
  5. Worked as a web designer for many years and you always end up working with some of your clients who have horrendous taste, and they gravitate towards things that convert really badly. They do not understand how a thing makes them feel and the level of beauty something is at. You might think this is completely subjective. And it's not. You can have different categories of things, but they will always be a hierarchy from a lower end of aesthetics to a higher end of aesthetics. If you have super low aesthetic taste, you're deeply out of tune with how things make you feel and you have huge gaps in your sense making. I'm not exactly sure why this is the case but it's as clear as day when you interact with people they're aesthetic Intelligence closely relates to their level of consciousness. Your level of consciousness and your aesthetic intelligence are closely connected. The more conscious you are the finer you could see every aesthetic qualities to something. There's many insights here that I haven't had yet to really understand why a person's level of consciousness is so directly linked to aesthetics. The most annoying thing is you can never communicate to them that they're wrong. 😑 LMAO
  6. In MBTI the ENFJ and ESFJ have the hardest time with they're thinking process of being heavily influenced by others. This nearly always causes and is caused by low self-esteem. As they get older and they try to solve this exact problem they tend to swing the pendulum too far to the other side and overly adapt and what happens is they become very rigidly certain about how they feel about what they think, Every time someone say anything, they will slam their foot down and claim. "THIS IS WHAT I FEEL ABOUT IT". Basically, they become hypersensitive and they cannot seem to find the balance between there thinking and feelings and the thinking/feelings of others. My father is one of these cases where it's very clear that his adaptation strategy was to have a strong personality that could deflect other people's feelings and thoughts because they're so overwhelming he can't deal with them properly. He wants to have his feelings and he wants to have his thinking be validated strongly. He wants this so badly because in his youth, he feels bullied basically by other people's thoughts and feelings! So of course if this is your sense making strategy, it means your wrong about everything lmao. He is extremely influenced by the thinking of others and so an identity has to be formed around it to protect itself. You're much more advanced than this, I bring this topic up just as a warning, not to swing the pendulum too far to the other side as you try to learn to balance all this out. If I have a feeling about something or I think about something, I put so much effort into it and then when someone else is thinking process comes in, I could easily dissect everything wrong with it. Other people thinking are so profoundly wrong and it's just group think where they regurgitate whatever first thing that popped into their head. When you put enough effort into something and you dedicated your life to truth seeking and your top value is truth all of these silly games that are people are playing become so obvious that it's not gonna affect you in the same way. The autonomous mind takes in new information from any source like people, videos, a dog barking and contemplates it, and then decide how to integrate it into one's model of reality. So you're building a model of how everything works and you want see how it fits, how the puzzle piece are all fitting together. Peoples thoughts and feelings about a thing are just another puzzle piece that you gotta see how it fits into your models. Think of yourself as a model builder. Another thing is, this is a guaranteed trait of low self-esteem. Low self-esteem will make it so you can ever be certain about anything. Normally people have to solve most of their self-esteem problems in their teenage years, but if people missed that stage of development because they're smoking weed, terrible parenting and whatever other genetic factors going on, they then have to work twice as hard to figure it out when they're older. Most people never solved their self-esteem problems and their self-confidence problems. and so they create a posturing, a show, an ego-identity around their low self-esteem as an adaptation, pretend to be the real thing because society demands it. Another thing is thinking is something you have to practice. You would never expect to be good at violin if you don't practice violin, this is intuitive. But for some reason when it comes to thinking, we just assume that you could be good at without deliberate hard effort. Thinking is something that has to be practised in a very deliberate, self challenging way where one challenges himself to make improvements. Most people when they sit in front of a musical instrument they play what they know and what's comfortable and what's fun and they don't challenge themselves and so they get stuck at the same level of skill. It's a misconception that the longer you do something the better you are it, most people that do something for 10 years in reality, they just repeated the same thing that they learned the first year for 10 years. You can't stay in your comfort zone you gave to challenge yourself and challenge you're thinking process which is exactly what you're doing right now. The vast majority of people you've ever came to contact with have never practised thinking. There Level of thinking is at 1. Their level of thinking is so bad they don't even know how to hold the violin. It's like a child when you sit them in front of the piano, they basically take their fist and they just slam it into the keys. That's the quality of thought of most people. Yet because it's so elusive and it's behind an invisible barrier called someone else's mind we put so much weight into what they have to say. and omg, socializing will never make someone good at thinking... Socializing is like being punched in the face while you try to contemplate. Good luck learning how to think that way.
  7. LOL I would love to see Leo tell Operah that the secret and law of attraction is a new age hippy corruption of spirituality. lmao but on a side note both my parents LOVE LEO. hes a boomer magnet, there is so much untapped potential
  8. We need an actualized social media platform. Anti-corruption algorithms. Algorithms that incentivize creators to make great addictive content, but also aligned with higher values
  9. The leo religion is about to begin. Next: Oprah makes a comeback to push Leos content to the boomers.
  10. I got 20 pounds of mushrooms ready, im just waiting for his consent. And you never know it might cure his cancer.
  11. @Leo Gura Can you write a blog entry on your current understanding/insights of death?
  12. I speak on the forum like I'm speaking to my mother. This is as good as it's going to get.
  13. This doesn't mean much to me because the AI is cherry picking. My personal experience is that all the different forms of vitamin E that I've taken they all made me feel worse the longer I took them. Now with you're personal experience, you're noticing agitation with the supplements which I've been telling people for years that supplements aren't safe for the same reason. Especially long-term use. Yet people like Brian could just take whatever they want and they're just ploughing through life?
  14. Maybe because vitamin E supplements are toxic.
