Quite distasteful.

There is what we SAY or THINK we will be attracted to - and what we ARE attracted to And many do not welcome the growth and expansion the types of higher consciousness relationships facilitate when they really taste it!

Indeed. And many think they want someone fully grounded and embodied - and when they are faced with it they run a mile. Horrified at all of their shit being seen through instantly and games called out. Cards all on the table. That is when others realise they want someone who will enable their current paradigm over being challenged to grow in any real fashion. I see this a lot when people say 'I want this, x y z quality and I am attracted to it' ...and then end up with someone (and being attracted to) something completely different.

Yep, they were great for consciousness work! I still use them. I experienced my first OBE using the tapes - which wasn't my intention.

Hahaha I can believe this - she often says humanity is in an abusive relationship with technology.

Cheers, thank you for that. >.> <.<

Anyone into this topic might also enjoy the crossover into Automatic Writing - which was also used and studied by the CIA. Writing without conscious thought or control. For myself, only useful when using the medium of pen and paper. Keyboard typing is too rapid and it scrambles the output (just for me, ymmv)

There's a SHITLOAD more value and safety men provide to women than just fiscal / material safety.

Agree with this take.

Yes, but on the other side of this Leo does always say 'do not trust what I say, verify it all for yourself' Which is why I think many of his #blog posts are aimed at contemplation to prompt a realization of truth. Just throwing truth down and expecting it to be taken at face value is never worth as much as a true self-made realization. I for one do not find any external truth very impactful - only the truth I reveal for myself. Teachers such as Leo come into it when they prompt a line of enquiry that assists in leading you there.

I think some of her observations relating to modern society are unique - however you are correct. She learned a lot of her current teachings from others. Which is usually the case for modern spiritual teachers bar some outliers. I think her rather questionable 'completion process' is an innovation. I only question it as it is not recognised by any authorities and many people have had negative/mixed results. Well, yeah - of course It is just that many people need to unpack all their shit to see that love/fear dichotomy. And she can help some with that. Coupled onto this is basic survival which she weaves into her work.

Yep - instead of a bunch of 'action steps' and exterior focus she prompts people to examine their feelings stemming from beliefs. Tracing things back to root experiences from childhood, false conclusions that lock us in shame. Looking into what we are rejecting on the outside to realise that is actually what we have in our shadows, unclaimed inside us. Her masculine/feminine polarity stuff is accurate. I like how she really emphasises women's need for safety and security. Safety is a big one, many men never even think on this and how it means to operate from that mode. I feel she is very on point when she raises modern women do not show men how they provide her VALUE. How to appreciate men for this. How to show it. And to make ROOM for men in their lives. Women cannot keep blaming men for strength/power and 'misusing it' while simultaneously wanting to shelter under the safety of said power. Modern women and 'feminism' often do not realise how they emasculate men by telling them 'you are not needed or required and what you provide isn't good enough' and she goes into this. So important for women to show gratitude and make space for men to provide. And masculine containment often leads to the surrender to happiness and joy in women that delights men, for they provide this. Just some of her messages I think are of value and missing in mainstream society.

I see Leo as going in to extract/discern the truth from her. And no personal value judgement. @UnbornTao are you claiming that she should be disregarded due to telling people what to believe, regardless of the truth of it? I think we are mainly speaking about her personal development advice, yes? You guys could be talking about different aspects of her work and it is just not made clear yet ☺️

@Bjorn K Holmstrom this is great advice 🙏

@Ramasta9 yes, birds seem to be drawn to me. I often get followed and approached - some more shots from my morning hikes (every morning, crack of dawn, 2hr hike before a day inside the horrid office): Ravens are funny messengers. The single eye stares.

@integral In all seriousness I interpret #320 as saying: The concept of “ultimate understanding” is built out of the very limitations that understanding would dissolve (from one of my other posts) But most of Leo's blog posts do not really have answers or one set meaning - I think they are more like koans. What is derived changes as you grow. And sometimes the answers/interpretations themselves do not matter as much as they are a barometer for the teacher to gauge the students progress.

Dunno about you guys - but I am more intrigued by people who are multi-faceted or who have large areas of coherence with some MASSIVE cognitive dissonance and crazy. But I use them as case studies to reflect on my own internal mechanisms because we all have self deception to a degree. People like Teal enhance my understanding of humans self-deception capabilities. And more importantly, my own. For this reason (my own personal curiosity) I am more willing to spend the time discerning good from bad. For others they do not have a large interest in the area, so are unwilling to invest time doing this. Some also do not have strong value assessment and grounded critical thinking to be able to discern what is true and what is not. If you lack conviction or confidence you may not be as adept at avoiding being deceived. Fact of it is - some people are happier to throw away all - good and bad - when they make a value judgement. The worst thing Teal does, in my opinion, is professing to be the one to cure you. She knows best - better than psychologists and medically qualified people. She can be your saviour. She has the tools to cure suffering. And she has come out and said these things. This is probably part of the most insidious of her behaviour. The rest appears to me to be personality issues, which we all have to a degree. Unfortunately, it is those most vulnerable and at low points that are more likely to come to her for healing and get caught up in the mess. I do suspect she is a narcissist and this is behind these grand claims. This is the troubling and potentially dangerous part of her work - that she claims that only she can fix you. And that other methods do not work. I think this has the potential to remove self sovereignty - hence the cult dynamics in her inner circle. I see the good and the turds in her stuff.

Fuck no lol I only know concrete and rebar Need a bitch to design and hang a door? I AM YOUR BITCH. Hinged? Can do. Pivot? Easypeasy. Double doors? double the fun I'm done

Actualized Quotes #320 Some of us need to empty the mind out of what they think they know, so they can actually entertain this one

@CARDOZZO 🎯

I think it is true for women also. I was raised with some strong baller women (they didn't dominate men, no, just had some grit and understood how to be a good caretaker/mother) who were balanced, fair & never lost their femininity in the pursuit of excellence and substance. It was impressed upon me to be someone of substance and passion, and never to invest fully into appearance and looks because 'attractive women die twice'. I was taught what I did and my choices defined me more than physical attributes. Investing in high quality endeavours. I don't see much of this happening - social media is raising girls now. And what are we showing them? A generation of rich wealthy older women plumped up as mutton dressed as lamb. Looksmaxxing, fillers, botox, fucking pterodactyl eyelashes. Instead of self confidence and mastery they are shown to invest even more into appearance (a shit asset for long term investment). And then they turn into feminists who want to deny men's issues because they dislike how they are objectified as sex objects... without even realising they are feeding and perpetuating this same issue with their focus on appearance and resisting aging. There is no critical thinking or questioning this. Just blind leading the blind. Don't get me wrong, there are issues on both sides. I think men have more issues within the current state of society.
