  1. Bloody hell this therapy speak, armchair diagnosis culture needs to die.
  2. I read 'The Subtle Art of not Giving a Fuck' a while back. I felt the emphasis on internal and external values in how we define ourselves ( self esteem ) to be a very relevant. It is a trap I see many fall into continually. I think it has stood the test of time because it was reasonably colloquial in rhetoric and the overall theme is still one humanity is stuck with.
  3. I haven't watched it - but I will. Thought I would share. Despite my issues with Jubilee and it's format (+turd moderation)... Discuss
  4. I can see that, perhaps because you have something to prove, I am not being heard. This isn't going anywhere - thanks for your time.
  5. I hear the message you are communicating - but often the expression (rhetoric) is filtered through some sort of (what appears to me, at least) frustration. You could be projecting out a "golden shadow" onto others - You see how you have thrived and grown in resilience, you have overcome obstacles and grown. You project your own capabilities onto others. Bear in mind, this explanation is just a possibility. When others fall short or resist, there can be a lot of frustration because you foresee the beneficial outcome. "Why can't they see what I see?" Other people have hard limits. Some people just do not have the resilience that we do. They do not see resources to be leveraged where we do. They are not as capable. They have intellectual limitations and sometimes undisclosed pathologies. They are at different life stages. And very importantly - we never truly know their total circumstances - their context. I often ask myself "why am I qualified to give this person advice?". "What am I getting out of this, by giving advice unsolicited, or attempting to know what is best for this person?" - there is a lot of arrogance here. A lot of hubris. I have personally been through this. And hey - it may not be the case with you. But once I begun to try to explore more, and dropped my own narrative of wanting to prove something, I got through to people effortlessly. We cannot truly listen to someone else when we have something to prove. Overcoming this tendency in myself helped more in business than any other domain, funnily enough. I am still learning. I still get triggered into stern, absolute statements (this can be very antithetical to transmitting messages). Overall it might be helpful to ask yourself, prior to responding "what if...?" regarding the persons claim or premise. It can help you account for what they may be facing, coupled with us eventually steering the other to where we think they may benefit. More often than not it also means our rhetoric is much more compassionate and expresses tolerance when we speak our truth. Overall I exercise caution with advice.
  6. I've found it is often men who struggle to receive that are the least in touch with their feminine side. If there is resistance to words of affection especially - not always, but more commonly than not - there is a block to their own internal ability to truly connect to their feminine side. In a healthy way, where there relationship to their own femininity carries no shame or judgement. When we have a block, or there is an issue with our relationship to a feeling, it forms an obstacle to connection (usually with the opposite sex(. It just so happens that romantic relationships are one of the most revealing - and catalytic - ways to show us this block. Many times these feelings and blocks are reaching back to then we first developed a relationship to the feeling - from our parents. I hate the "daddy issues" or "mommy issues" labels - but there is a icy needle of truth there. I always try to probe a bit "Why do you have ick feelings when those words are expressed?". This question deserves time and inspection.
  7. @Emotionalmosquito so you don't go deep because you want to avoid pain?
  8. Tell me. If you could choose what you want to hear more from a partner: "I deeply respect you" or "I deeply love you" I do think there will be overlap depending on how we define romantic love - this is about what you want to hear more from a woman.

  10. @Emotionalmosquito very interesting. Why do you think you reject expressions of love and admiration? It seems to me they appear to be loaded terms for you. Do you know where you developed your relationship to receiving love and respect?
  11. I agree. Lordfall has good intentions, but his rhetoric often works against him. This sort of speaking pattern is low efficiency for delivering a message and often projects frustration onto the reader.
  12. Exactly there is conceptualization - so an interpretation. Hence the experience is not direct. It is a perceptive overlay.
  13. But why? Do you think women are having a good time because they get "more attention"? More attention doesn't mean shit. Is it actually welcome? What about quality of attention? I've seen this "more attention" talking point frequently and I just don't understand why there appears to be an assumption this is purely good, beneficial or desired. ----- You guys in this thread are being silly. Women are humans just like you - we aren't a different fucking species. "Understanding women" is the wrong idea, that's your first error. Trying to understand is the issue. Just accept. Connect. That's it.
  14. People have actually bought into Gynocentrism??? Jesus
  15. @JoshB you can't escape the conceptual interpretation, even if you try to state otherwise.
  16. @Ash55 the population overgrowth issue has been in Australia since European colonials settled I am pretty sure. I could be wrong. It happened because of changes in land use and cattle farming. The poor things rut like mad, eat all the grass and raze the land, then starve. I love me some fatty meat also! Lamb shanks, marbled beef. I try to minimise my meat consumption. But due to the volume of exercise I do, and being a woman of breeding age, I have higher protein and iron needs. I don't thrive on non-heme iron sources On a burger, with crispy lettuce, sliced tomato, basil, avocado and a bit of tomato sauce +tzatziki - THATS HOW 😈 Plz don't come for me, fellow Aussie 🫶
  17. If you recognise there is nothing outside being - there has to be some sort of concept of inside / outside. So you are interpreting - hence an idea - hence an adapted belief. Yes. Many times. And the takedown video. It's a belief. It's probably my most repeated video of Leo's
  18. @JoshB how can you realise solipsism without a duality of inside/outside? Me/other? My experience claimed as "mine"?
  19. @Ash55 I am a monster 🥲 It's like beef, but leaner and slightly gamey in flavour. Very rich meat without a fatty sort of mouth feel. Has to be cooked on super high heat to seal the outside and keep moist. I do burgers or marinade it overnight then incinerate at on my baby weber bbq
  20. @Basman well. I ate that whole pack just then 😭 I eat kangaroo 3/4 times a week. It's actually wild, not farmed, so very healthy cheap iron rich meat. We cull the population because if we don't, they breed like rabbits, eat the land out and starve when resources plummet. The culled stock is turned into meat for consumption. The caveat is it needs to be cooked thoroughly otherwise parasites.
  21. Couple onto this some more madness - all those who experience witnessing the balloon are never truly experiencing the same balloon. Each set of eyes only see the separate photons that reflect of that part of the balloon. Each set of hands could only ever feel one part of the balloon - never the same part at the same time. The smell of the gas burning - each particle can never ever be simultaneously hitting both receptions of both noses. And all of these raw sensations are actually only perceived inside us. Behind the eyes. The nose. The skin. So is the balloon experience occuring somewhere out there? Or do we only experience all that is external in material reality through our senses - internally? Is the external all within? Do we each experience a tiny fragment of the balloon... And we each participate in the shared projection of the balloon? Only made real through a million minds all rendering a slightly different part of that balloon. So that we experience - reality.
  22. 🥰 Joe Hudson's stuff does something. I get this beautiful, heavy-but-light as a feather weight in my chest. Like I am opening up to receive and connect. It sounds so hokey but it is real heart connection. I turned away from a lot of self help because the richness of data mining and harvesting my own, normal, unremarkable existence became a fascination I feel like I neglected for a long time. Everything was was always right here. Not off in the lands of explanation. Nature. Biking, moving my body! The air in my lungs... The change in sounds as dusk approaches... Man just moving the body and feeling it all is the best sensation!!!! Wherever I am - there is actually no where else I would rather be. I accept all moments ❤️

  24. Stuff your bureaucracy! Right in the paperwork!
