That is exactly what I'm asking about. Why would fear be a prerequisite when you are God?

@Moksha @73809 @Nahm Thanks for your contributions. I'll contemplate what you said.

I am afraid of my authentic self. I think I have a repressed criminal on the inside. If I let myself go, I will not rest until I change the world to the way I want, or die trying.

@Preety_India I understand your point, but he's obviously trying to look out for your best interest. He obviously doesn't have malicious intents. You don't have to defend yourself from a friend.

@Rilles Maybe you should educate yourself about what the word feminine means in this context. In fact, the exact wording that Leo used is the same as saying 1+1=2 it just makes perfect logical sense.

Come on! Not you too. He said "feminine", and "her man".

Do you feel the need to teach me? I did not say repress or ignore or anything like that, I am all for consciousness and feeling into your emotions and integrating the shadow. I was just reminding everyone that ideally there shouldn't be sexual fantasies, just so that we don't lose our compass here. It's very easy to get into a debate and forget about the basics. Attraction then becomes the way things should be, and then we start arguing which is the correct way of attraction. We forget that that's not nearly as important as the role attraction serves. We forget that it's an individual process that helps the individual navigate their own individual way. We start making generalizations about men and women and how each of them should be behaving and treated. We then find ourselves with many problems that we are needless for, and we fail to understand what happened and how we will work our way out of that mess that we've created.

I didn't mean sex. Just attraction. The unconscious emotion.

You guys are forgetting that attraction is delusion. We shouldn't ideally feel attracted towards anyone or anything. Attraction is in fact a sign of lack of self-love. If you were complete, would you desire anything?

I just don't get it how people find profundity in basic insights. I read through what's written here, and I'm always like, hmm okay, hmm that's interesting, oh that's cool. But rarely do I ever stop with true appreciation of the things said, they all just sound basic to me. I'm on a different frequency even from weirdos. How weird am I?!

Same thing. Fear/attachment and love/attachment are two sides of the same coin, attachment. Two polar opposites. Loving myself fully and truly would mean no attachments, at least that's what it seems right now. I don't think about this at all. I always put my family first as long as I am feeling well. But when I'm not, priorities change and I start caring more for myself.

Yeah, I am currently watching the show for the very first time. I know I'm late, but that's because I was always too busy to watch TV. When I saw that clip, I wanted to post it here, but then I forgot. Phoebe is a hippie and has a lot of wisdom, but she's also very delusional. Great show, regardless.

Really? A masterpiece? He sounds like a condescending madman. And the disclaimer at first didn't help. It's as though he's talking to desperate seekers (which may be true). Regardless, the video was not exactly what I'm looking for. He said realization is different from life. Okay, I don't want the realization. I want life. How do I achieve fearlessness in life? I was able to do it back when I was Muslim. It was easy back then. Just do your prayers and be a good Muslim, and you will live in God's protection for good. This is probably the only thing I regret about growing beyond stage Blue/Orange. Beyond rules and logic, how do you get that fearlessness? What is the difference between the state without fear and fearlessness?

From my personal perspective, I essentially don't care about myself at all. I don't have much preferences. And although I've made some progress over the years, but still I could never fully transcend the attachment to my family. I know that it all comes down to me, but people have some kind of pressure with their suffering. When I see them suffering because of me, I find it more appropriate to bite the bullet of living in fear instead. I don't know if I will ever transcend this attachment. The fear is not really bothering me per se, but you know, who would like to be limited to it?

Thanks. I'll take a look at the dreamboard thing.

And Leo thinks his stuff is advanced? Phoebe knew it all even before the 21st century.

I know you didn't ask me, but I would say don't do anything for now. You clearly are not in your optimal state. Keep observing your inner reactions until you feel enough stability to make decisions. Right now is the time for more understanding of yourself imo.

I feel grateful for having walked this path. I can see that I am light-years ahead of humanity. And I can guarantee that many people will necessarily have to walk the path somewhere in the future. This will give me an advantage over 90% of people. Let alone having been doing personal development for nearly half a decade. I am now futuristic.

I want to experience fearlessness in the same way I used to back when I was Muslim. Things were simple back then; you just follow the rules, be a good Muslim, do your prayers, and you're good to go. The mind was very silly and gullible, but that particular thing was not bad. It is true that the tree of knowledge threw our parents into hell. I don't want to know anymore. Knowledge is for devils.

Thanks. You're right.

Won't it though? That sounds nice on paper, but I'm talking about gun to my head kind of fearlessness. Not lying on the couch and eating cheetos.

God told me it's BS.

I would love to live alone, but I don't see my life unfolding in that direction. Thanks. I'll contemplate that.

Yeah, I agree. Can you suggest a few particular practices for that?
