Someone here

@puporing again like I said im not against locking threads. It's his forum after all and he can lock whatever he finds distracting from the"real work". But my main objection is the Insults that always follow a lock. So instead of saying "stop your mental masturbation or I'm gonna kick your ass outta here '. ....he can say "this is distracting from the real work. Please make more decent posts in the future " You see the difference?

So he is punishing me for starting so many threads ? Is there a rule in the guidelines about how many threads you could start in a week ? I don't think so Yes I do post a lot but I always try to make sure that my posts are decent enough and high quality. The last post Leo locked of mine was "can a man made computer become conscious?". The thread was awesome and people were sharing so many interesting views on the subjects and it continued for 9 or 10 pages .and then all the sudden leo came in and started "solipsizing " and repeat "only you can become conscious, nobody else " and then when I disagreed with him he locked the thread and accused me of spreading nonsense and wasting his time . I mean I'm OK with locking threads . This place needs moderation. But I disagree with the insult that always follows locking a thread. That is completely unnecessary and just hurts the user's feeling and make him feel like shit . Why does Leo not work on changing that ?

@puporing im not "hurt " . I'm just making some observations about Leo's toxic behaviour in this forum . With hope that he might read some of it and change his ways in the future in a more compassionate way . Me being on My own? The honest answer is that I do not care. These experiences(awakenings )are some of the most significant moments in Leo's life and that's good enough for me, I do not need some new-age or science based answer to validate them. clearly there is something biological going on, but clearly that isn't the alpha and omega of the story. In this regard its a lot like having sex with someone you love, yes there is something happening biologically but there is also something playing out in emotional and psychological realm . Imo Leo must connect emotionally with his followers not just intellectual.

Yea people sometimes make stupid threads but why does Leo not show compassion to his followers when some of them make a stupid post. You see the poster doesn't think of his post as stupid, otherwise he would not post it. But it's only stupid from Leo's pov . I suffered from this myself. Often Leo locks my threads and leave Me an insult or at least a bad toned comment. Why is that? Is it necessary? Is it gonna help the user grow? legit guru has compassion for the person they're triggering and is there to help them integrate things afterward. A fake guru just wants to one-up others and feel superior like a narcissist does and will drop the person they triggered due to lack of genuine compassion or interest in helping that person. A fake guru is thinking about themselves, shoring up their own sense of absent self-worth and significance, by faking to be above others any way they can get away with. I'm not saying Leo is like that .but sometimes he really shock me with his irresponsible attitude towards some members here .including me.

What? Leo always present himself as the most woke teacher ever . He always claim that he have accessed state of consciousness that no other human being have accessed in the entire history of mankind . And now you say he is still learning? . This is confusing and conflicting. The issue isn't Leo accessing some radical states of consciousness. It's his huge messiah complex and him acting like an a hole. Especially whenever he locks a thread. He always leave a harsh comment like "I will ban you " or "I will kick you outtta here ", . I'm just wondering why he is not more gentle with his followers.

@Matthew85 of course I like him and learn from him a lot .that's why I'm here on this forum after all . But I'm talking about basic civility. statements like " I will kick you out of here " when locks a thread is really disrespectful for the members .he can use more gentle language when is giving a chance to a member or else he will ban him.

This is not a valid excuse . After all that's the nature of his work .he should be fine with writing long ass replies when things need to be clarified in more depth. Which he rarely does .

That's fine, but it doesn't really help people to awaken, so it wouldn't be appropriate behavior for a teacher. spirituality and enlightenment are only unserious when people are far enough along to see that. For newbies and even fairly advanced people, these things are very serious, and treating it like a joke only causes confusion. Leo doesn't treat most of us seriously .he just spread one-liners here and there and he oversimplified a lot of things that need further explanation. He do it in his videos .the dude can talk off the cuff for fucking 4 hours without losing track .why doesn't he show his full potential in the forum as well ?

@puporing Could be. I'm definitely not saying my opinion is correct. It only comes from my personal level of consciousness. I'm also biased because Leo got me to where I am now, which in my mind, is a solid place. I'll admit that I'm a bit of a Leo fan boy. And about anything He's said/done recently about recruitment conspiracies and banning people.. That's all just human drama, and I have no interest in it. I think anybody who uses this forum will be in a pretty good place whether they listen to Leo or not. But I think Leo should work a little bit on his attitude when dealing with his fans here. Maybe more respectful tone. Give more than one-liners to deep complicated topics etc

⁷@Yarco In my opinion Leo is the best spiritual teacher out there. I also see why he rubs people the wrong way. It's because he's extremely blunt and to the point leaving virtually no room for game playing/mental masturbation. With Leo, either you're serious or you're not and there's no middle ground. No room for running in circles for years and years never having your bubble broken. not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing .probably both .

@Bobby_2021 thanks bro

I'm 25 . I just yesterday switched my career from studying philosophy in university to studying business. Because many people adviced me that I can't make good money and decent career with a philosophy degree . So even tho I adore philosophy but I had to sacrifice my passion for money ?. Now I'm pretty sexually hyper person .I get horny so easily . I'm kinda addicted to masturbation and watching porn. But I have decided..enough is enough . I need to get off my ass and stop doing lame ass beta lazy shit and get my life together. I want to marry . To satisfy my sexual cravings and also my emotional craving to own a house and have a family .you know raising kids and all that cool shit . Now I'm not graduating in less than 5 years .because I changed my field to business. So I'm starting from scratch. But I'm in fact looking for a job while completing my uni degree . I want to know how realistic is to think about getting married at this life situation. And what is required for me to get married ASAP. There is a barrier of time and hard work . I can only have these things in the future, not in the now . I believe if I let loose and just lose myself in the present moment, that I will never ever achieve something significant in my life . The problem is I misuse the present moment by engaging in short-term hits of dopamine,you know..stuff that gives you instant pleasure but fuck you up in the long term like smoking and watching porn and wasting a lot of time on online forum mentally masturbating about useless shit lol. If anyone have enough experience in this field. Please give some piece of advice . Thanks ?

That’s a hard question to answer. everyone has their personal preferences and factors to weigh before deciding to pursue a degree. A business degree is a great way to develop many of the transferable skills needed for working in a business environment. There are a number of business degrees which i can undertake, one of the most common of which is an undergraduate business studies degree. I can work as Business analyst. Business analysts put their business expertise to work by observing the market and business trends to create recommendations for the businesses they serve. Also I can work as an Account . The best part of choosing a career in this field may be that you don’t have to settle for one specific job: When you begin a business administration degree program, you will learn skills that can be transferred to several different positions across many career paths, you can expect to learn the following skills: Analytical skills Project management skills Communication and leadership skills Math and financial skills Organizational skills. So yeah I think it's worth it more than philosophy degree .even though I'm so passionate about philosophy but what are the chances of me becoming a philosophy professor? Very low .

I agree.i still have tons of work to do .I'm still a uni student and don't have a job yet so there is that . But it was a long path to get to where I'm at today . Behind every successful marriage, are two people who have done some tremendous things before deciding they’re ready to take the next step.i Have considered a “must-do” list before putting the ring on my finger. Because I should, as there are things everyone needs to do before getting married. .

@Danioover9000 i don't want to have mindless sex with poor prostitutes. I tried that with one girl and I felt regretful afterwards . I want deep intimate connection with a woman .not a casual flimsy relationship that expires quickly. And for that I need to marry a woman. That's my ultimate goal and I'm beginning the work towards it starting from today.

Im not trying to make excuses but this is the harsh reality of my situation.. How dating works in Western culture: 1.You approach a girl. 2.Ask her out. If she says yes, you go out with her. If she says no, you don't or you try again or you go for another girl. 3.If she says yes you go on a date and have fun. 4.A few more dates and you call it a relationship and after you get into a relationship and then have fun blah blah... Indian dating: 1.Approach a girl. 2.Basically there is no term called "Ask out" in India. If you go to a girl in your class or office and ask her for a cup of coffee, she'll give you an angry look or punch you in the face. 3.Since there is no term called "asking out", you become friends with her, because that's the only way you will get to know her. Let me introduce the term "Proposing" What proposing means in other countries: Permission to marry What it means in India: Permission to be in a relationship with her by saying "I love you." 4.So you take your time and you propose (Indian way), there are chances that you get friendzoned mostly, but if you are lucky she'll get into a relationship with you. If you get friendzoned you'll probably feel really bad that you wasted your time as you didn't know that the girl you liked didn't like you back in the same way. So unlike in Western culture, you have to probably do a lot of hard work to date an Indian girl in India

Yea I'm thinking of that actually.

No.im not exaggerating . They are pretty rare and difficult to even find .let alone to date . I've also experimented with dating apps . I've been through most of the dating apps. I'm not an incel, nor a simp, nor a horny creep. I wanted something meaningful, but there's none to be found. Not all Indian men are creeps, even though the reputation's corrupt. We can be as romantic as a French dude, but we are never given a chance. Maybe I'm bad at socializing, but I've seen this happen with most of my friends too. The most charismatic of dudes had to swipe 400 times before a match came up. The rejection stings a lot. Then we wonder why the arranged marriage thing is still on. It's kinda hard for a decent Indian guy to survive online and offline too. This is not to invalidate the experience that women go through, it's much worse than ours, but the constant rejection does take a toll, and makes a guy wonder if he really does matter in the grand scheme of relationships.

@Elton Marriage is a more legal and socially-accepted form of relationship between couples. There is a social validation that has its own appeal and satisfaction. However, live-in relationships are the new and on-going trends among the youth that gives them the freedom to live with their partners without any pressure of arranged marriages. Both of these socially-constructed institutions of love and relationships have their pros and cons. In context of the Indian society, living with someone before marriage is still treated as a taboo, especially in a man-woman relationship. It corresponds to the idea of virginity, especially of women, which is considered violated, if and when she engages in a physical relationship with a man before her marriage. She is then seen as someone impure or unholy, which is a traditional thought but widely accepted. This is why a live-in relationship is highly criticised by the society.

@Tudo cool

No .I know very well that I'm bisexual. I do appreciate a handsome dude just as I appreciate a beautiful girl . And like I said I do prefer the physical appearance of a dick sexually more than a vagina. I didn't discover this before I got into shemale and tranny porn .it turns me on to see a girl with a dick . Idk but if you haven't questioned your sexuality before then you know 100% that you are straight .but for Me I did question my sexuality a lot .

Oh that wasn't my own opinion. It was an idea by Sigmund Freud. And not mine .so I didn't pull it out of my ass . And most women in that thread reassured me that they are okay with having a vagina and they don't really want to have dick. And in any case I'm willing to apologise if I hurt any woman's feelings here . And it was overall a thread just for the fun and the giggles. A tangent question tho: why do you remember every thread of mine? Why are you focused on me ? I myself have forgotten about those threads you mentioned. What's the difference? Dating leads to having sex imo. You cannot Separate the two . What's the point of talking to girls and asking them out If you don't plan on having sex with them ?

Could you explain how? Well what if you live in a country where there is not that much dating opportunities? What are you gonna do then ? The first thing that comes to mind is travelling to a country where relationships between opposite sexes are a bit more loose. Whats wrong with that either?

@Tudo yes I like dicks .and I like girls also. That makes me bisexual. Is that wrong or something to be ashamed of? I thought folks here are open-minded.

Trust me Leo..the dating situation is so shitty in India. That's why I moved to Thailand. But I have to come back to India next month for university. Our society as a whole lacks maturity to deal with issues of dating or flirting or even talking with the opposite sex!!! Sad but true!!! We, while wanting to break norms and inculcate the lifestyle of the West are unable to break the mold completely . So yes, it's difficult to date an Indian woman... She is taught by her parents, teachers, family members, well-wishers to be dependent on them for all decisions... how can she then take as big a decision as date? She is guided by her religion and society structure to follow a set of rules and not deviate from the path... how can she break her oath? She is influenced by dreams of 'true love' that happens on first sight or other cliches... how can she date when she hasn't fallen in 'love' yet? She, in other words, is a brainwashed doll... who even while living earning or being highly educated in caught in the tangles of being unable to think for herself.... I'm not gonna date an Indian girl. I must travel to a stage orange society and date there .
