We have plenty of solutions that feasibly would work. It’s not the problem. The problem is corruption, selfishness and lack of oneness awareness .

Most people want to have a justification for what they are doing and look for some reason to explain why what they are doing is valuable and important, so they focus in on the painful emotions they are creating for themselves and dress it up in lofty ways by calling it suffering.

That’s precisely what our voting system does due to its current design. The core design of it needs to be rearranged to something more democratic but that would mean some people giving up power.

First off, I would be careful asking a girl out at your work. If you're asking this question I'm assuming there is some apprehension and lack of clarity in your current abilities to interact with women in this way, so just to avoid any misunderstanding it's better you just avoid work situations because making a social mistake there carries the possibility of some issue unfolding, not so much in other situations. Second I would examine your beliefs about yourself. If you have any sort of self doubt or confusion, definitely start there and figure out the beliefs behind everything. I would try to get a really clear on any beliefs you have about yourself socializing or your self value or image. This is where the real work takes place and it spreads out into your actions. Lastly, when it comes to asking a girl out, you just ask, but what's on display isn't just this question but what I mentioned prior. A girl can sense if you believe in yourself when you're asking from a place of wholeness and your intrinsic value vs lack or any fear based belief running the show. So Really all your actions have to culminate in is taking the lead in a balanced way and asking when you see it as appropriate and learning from any mistakes as they arise. It's impossible not to learn from mistakes. You had to fall over many times before you could walk. The same concept applies here more or less. Don't think too much, just ask when you can. If you are choosing to be in your head wondering if it's right or not, then it's going to make things unclear and confusing, stay present and just ask when you believe it's appropriate and then reflect on it after.

Keep in mind the SD model can fall apart sometimes when applied in different ways and it also isn't the best for understanding internal division. I also think it falls short of understanding the belief system behind corruption.

I think Musk is high as shit on cocaine and ketamine for sure very often. Most super rich nepotism guys that act like this are huge users. Trump is actually an exception but let’s be real, many boomers act like Trump. That entire generation is egotistical. They get high off something else entirely, probably the fact they were the most coddled and spoiled generation ever that left behind barely anything for the next.

It’s cause our elections are held where a congressman just needs a plurality to win so it doesn’t make sense to have multiple parties in this system where the seats are allocated by the vote they represent but rather the person who get sene most votes takes the seat of a district. Realistically dems / republicans could be split into multiple parties and represented equally by the amount of people who vote for them but we have a winner take all system.

I grew up around such Christians. It’s a pretty thick hallucination.

Damned if you do damned if you don’t. People been saying dems need to grow a pair and stand up to Republican corruption since Obama… not happening

Ugh, hopefully there’s some sort of new deal revolution or something to wake people up so we build back something better…. I don’t wanna live the rest of my life out under an oligarchy

So basically everyone is going to be much poorer after Trump and economically it will be very difficult ?

I’ve caught up on Leo’s blog and noticed he’s writing many insights and lessons I’ve learned from living The Way (Taoism). Read the Tao Te Ching, it’s one of the most direct ways to living truth and fully and directly living love, living truth, existing moment to moment as your truth and your life. He talks about life being a miracle. YOU ARE A LOVED AND VALUDE MIRACLE REGARDLESS OF YOUR CHILDHOOD OR ANY MISTAKES YOU HAVE MADE. It’s so simple and beautiful. Just align with this truth, life unfolds from here. Be at the center. The rest follows.

You’re brave for sharing a very personal story like that. I would really focus on cultivating a honest relationship with that part of you which was misunderstood and accused as a child. I would also suggest to you that in this moment no one can make you feel anything but yourself, the beliefs and viewpoints you choose. It seems you chose to see yourself as less than or damaged by what you went through as a child. But I would ask do you believe a child that is mistreated is less than or lacking value and not a part of this grand truth and spirit you label as a trap in your title? I would say you are whole and valuable no matter what you’ve went through and spiritually you’ve always been normal even if you may have been through these challenges and mistakenly saw yourself in a way as fundamentally altered by these events. You have always been a normal and lovable human being, no matter what.

There’s just a bias against it here because a lot of people here are from Anglo-Christian countries so we have seen a lot of the issues that arise from all the group think and lack of self inquiry about what one believes and knows to be true. Most theist / worship based practices get this wrap here because they have been taught in such a way that you sort of deceptively give your power away if you partake in worshiping. This is a holistic community that looks at everything so anything that’s fundamentalist gets a bad wrap here but there’s also times people reference Christ as a great teacher to understand and apply love. So yeah, generally speaking fundamentalist organized religion isn’t held in high esteem here.

What is the thought process behind these tariffs and whatnot? Like how do you rationalize and come to the conclusion this is a good idea? I genuinely think Trump is of average intelligence and reasoning abilities and this is purely a sort of petty eye for an eye move because he is such an egomaniac that in his world it just makes sense to run and function everything like this even if you’re president. I don’t think he’s really capable of any sort of coherent thinking and honest thinking and almost everything he does lacks impartial observation and reasoning. Crazy how someone like this can get power democratically. Goes to show people don’t vote based on reason or impartial logic. Just pure feeling and it leads right back to the person running in the campaign. I just hope the wake up calls aren’t so incredibly harsh that we have to scrape by for years and years after if he needs up really fucking things up due to his stupidity. I guess Musk has brainwashed himself as well, how are all the “smart” people surrounding Trump not talking sense into him?

Hope it doesn’t go down too much. I need my portfolio to stay strong cause I was planning on using it to start a business.

Thanks for the reminder. I neglect this often. We live very sedentary lives especially if your work is online. Gotta schedule this.

These guys are alright to learn from but to be honest how often can you really attribute any sort of meaningful progress you made to the knowledge you gained from their shared perspective? If anything I’ve found them to be more hype men than anything. Most knowledge based products especially on broad topics like business, marketing and social skills really culminates just in your own self belief and alignment with your inner brilliance, and that’s it. So really the simplicity of it all where all you had to be is 1) engaged and responsible for your life, taking committed action 2) parenting yourself through whatever hard emotions you create or resistance you create through the process 3) aligning with truth and your true worth and inner brilliance and value. Just these three is really all you need to then let things unfold in time and evolve socially or in any endeavor. The rest of his course or program or whatever else he piles on is just hot air to me. Socializing is far too contextual to map it out from my experience. I think many of you need to meet these type of guys in person, not them speaking at a seminar but just hanging out with them.

On effort, look into the Taoist perspective on this, they have this concept called “effortless effort.” I’ve found this to be a true experience of one wishes to allow it. Basically all effort is just an emotion of striving against something. It’s possible to let that go, still go through all the changes of whatever is unfolding and not have to beat yourself up in the process by grinding at it. This sort of middle balanced flow where things just unfold, fully engaged and intuitively involved, but all the painful striving has evaporated. Try it!

How did you identify your endeavor would attract money and monetize it without selling out? I'm building a channel as well on IG and I am ready to monetize but I am not sure it is the right decision now. I suppose I can just learn through action, trial / error, research, mistakes, etc.

Ever since I have started practicing and studying Taoism, I don’t see anything in my life as separate from spirituality. There are no mistakes in creation from my point of view. There are things I deeply dislike and think are wrong but I see how they all play a role. I see this is a continuous path and life keeps coming at us. Each chapter in life is equally important and ultimately every moment has a lesson in it. So I don’t think it’s possible to quit spirituality but it is possible to quit practices or ways of living life that don’t serve us. Read the Tao Te Ching, it’s very helpful if you want to just remove yourself from lofty notions and life your life fully and at the same time grow spiritually. Each path is unique and different, remember the pursuit of truth is unique to you.

I think changing your environment if you have the means to is a very powerful way to shift perspectives and learn new things. Definitely going to different cities and countries to gain social experience and date can be very helpful. It’s not always needed but if you haven’t been exposed to the social experiences you need to sort of build a balanced foundation, changing to a place where there’s more happening can be incredibly important. I think most guys who want to make growth in this domain switch it up. Seems like there’s a lot of guys who are just fine with whatever comes along in their town and made their peace with it.

It’s hard to say, very hot button topic yet the people who seem to be doing well in this domain always have very simple answers to questions on it. You can be fucked, you can rebound, you can experience miracles and the mundane. It’s hard to say. I would be careful with marriage advice these days online since it’s been polluted by radical voices from every side. I think really silencing yourself and really focusing inward could lead to a flow where you can make clear decisions. The thing about marriage is it changes moment to moment so you may go through a phase where it’s challenging and another where you align. I think marriage these days is actually used as a scape goat and excuse by “main characters” who feel their contributions aren’t enough so they look for something to compare them to (marriage) and then spin some story about how their marriage either ruined their life or why you should jump through ridiculous hurdles before getting marriage, a form of avoiding responsibility by setting up an unrealistic amount of goal posts or standards. You all remember your grandparents would sometimes barely know each other then live out their lives together without all the added commotion and social dialogue. There was value in that and many of them benefited for the marriage, maybe others didn’t. It’s just too personal to create some model over and the core advice for how to live life right exists whether you’re in a marriage or not, follow the way and live with truth.

Who the hell finds Joe Rogan funny?

If you find him helpful then drop your cash on him. I would not buy his course. There’s lots of other people I find much more valuable learning from for my life.
