@RobertZ the Hexaco is like the BIG5 on steroids. I really like it. The BIG5 is very valuable but you really have to learn how to apply it and how each metric interplay’s with each other. The Hexaco lays it all out much clearer but is based on the same solid science

@modmyth of course there’s so many uses of the word. I’m more meaning the surface level ego of potential wanting to get praise or raise someone’s perception of you by growing spiritually, Subconsciously of course. Observing the motives of why you are saying things can be tricky at times

Do you talk to other people about your personal growth? Spouse? Friends? Or do you let the results speak for themselves. How do you know if it is your ego wanting to tell them how much better you are doing?

@modmyth yea I forget the train of thought I was on, perhaps like@remember says if I just sit down and start to write it will come out again.

I am mainly interested in conversation within a relationship, what are the types of conversations that you love to have with your partner? I have dated fairly analytical girls in the past and we always had awesome conversation from my perspective. Even emotional conversations were broken down analytically and intellectualized. My girl now doesn’t really enjoy that type of conversation so we lack in that department, but I want to learn to talk to her in a way that she does enjoy. There is almost nothing better than a good conversation ?

@modmyth thanks! I’ve almost started journaling a few time lately, I’ve had some emotional revelation and thought I should write that down... but then didn’t as it’s gone ??‍♂️

I’m 36 and my last GF was 21, the judgement was brutal. It didn’t bother me but it made her quite upset. I suppose it didn’t help that she was under 5ft tall ?

@Key Elements good advise thanks! @Leonora She like to talk about feelings and emotions but I don’t quite get how to talk about that without having to interpret those things into rational language, I seem to have to analyze them in order to talk about them. I guess I’m looking for different perspectives on hope that one of them will click with me

@Lento that makes way too much sense ? I’m always trying to conclude something, never realized the obvious fact that conclusion means end ?

@Devi Shanti I think that is exactly how it supposed to be. We both lead where our strengths are. Me and my GF spend a lot of time way off trail in the forest, usually with a decent dose of psilocybin ? One analogy and big lesson that I have gotten is about leadership, when we are finding our way and exploring to get to a certain mountain top or lake, I lead, I problem solve our best route and keep us safe. Usually when we are heading back she leads and remembers the rout that I orientated. My strength is problem solving, on big5 I am high open, low conscientious. She is extremely conscientious so she’s paying attention to everything on the route as we pass. If heading back was up to me it would be an entirely different route and we’d have spent a lot of nights in the dark forest ?

How can you gently encourage femininity in your female partner. I am very attracted to her but I do feel a draw towards more feminine women occasionally. She is an athlete and has always competed with men. I do appreciate her tomboy aspects and that is one thing that has really drawn me to her, I’m not sure if I’m wanting the best of both worlds and if I’m being unrealistic but I’m curious to know if any of you have any experience nurturing your feminine side yourself or in your partner

@Leo Gura thanks Leo BTW the little warning at the end, was absolutely necessary for me. I started questioning, is Leo god ? and I suppose you are and so am I, but how did you know you needed to say that?

This video blew my mind and opened my heart. Thank you for making it Leo. I listened to it with headphones after having a little psilocybin tea. The heart chakra meditation was life changing, I have never felt anything like it, if you haven’t, would you do a stand alone video with a guided meditation? The next day after experiencing this I felt different towards my whole idea of love and felt true self love for the first time in my life. I used to think of love as a biological reward for taking actions that would cause gene reproduction, now I think of it as a nutrient that our body needs, I have only ever experienced this nutrient exogenously but after this video I have been able to create it endogenously. https://youtu.be/XdbcsRxDQvM

@TrynaBeTurquoise I think that might actually be part of the issue, I haven’t been camping in almost a month ? I gotta get me some nature!

I’ve recently started working out and lifting weights. I’ve always been active but have never done any weight training. I’m starting to feel anger bubbling up much quicker than it did before lifting, has anyone experienced this. I know biologically it could be due to testosterone surges but on a spiritual level, could it be due to strengthening my masculine side? I’ve spent the last few years of personal development working on my emotional and spiritual side, the more feminine side. I’m wondering if there is a feminine shadow and a masculine shadow ??‍♂️ Curious to hear your thoughts

I think I’m gonna have to go shopping for her ? I would t say I want her personality to change but taking the ball cap off once in a while would be a great start ?

I agree, I don’t think the polarity is that influential but it may make space for it. Moods definitely plays a huge role, our weekends where neither of us have our kids are much different due to stresses of parenting. Monthly cycle is something I haven’t paid much attention to wing that she has an IUD, I’m not sure how that affects cycle

@Leo Gura I can almost grasp that but I’m not quite there yet ?

I saw passenger at a music festival. I had one of the most profound experiences during this song. He stopped singing or playing and had the crowd singing, I was overwhelmed by the unison of the voice and started to cry, I looked at a woman and we made eye contact and she broke into tears, before I knew it, people all around me were leaking out of their face ?

@oMarcos wouldn’t you say that the majority of spiritual growth for men is more about exploring their feminine side? Most men already have experienced their masculine so further exploration is likely to be feminine. Not in all cases but I know for myself, my spiritual journey has been more in the feminine side of things

@TrynaBeTurquoise Thanks! Yes breathing and staying calm will likely help

@Devi Shanti I second all of this! Low T is a killer of desire, dipping into more spiritual development could cause it to lower more. Try focusing your spiritual or meditational skills towards sex. Meditate on doing the things you used to do to her and send her sexual “vibes” maybe focus on your root chakra for a while. If all else fails, focus on your body again and start lifting, I have felt a big increase in sexual desire since starting lifting regularly

What kinda of things have you done or had done with you that have had unusually great reactions? Let’s include any tips on how to be a better physical lover, don’t leave any of the juicy details out ?

CBD oil in her bum will make everything better. For men it may make erections softer though
