Saw on Leo's blog that he said Ken is "mistaken" for thinking Stage Green is the problem when it comes to our present-day political situation. I am simply making this post to invite more nuance into the discussion, since I think there is a lot of gold in discussing this topic. I've read Ken's book "Trump and a Post-Truth World" and he does berate Green heavily and focuses on how Green can improve to ensure a smoother political climate, and just an overall more harmonious path in the development of mankind. Yet Ken doesn't put the blame entirely on Stage Green, he maintains religious fundamentalism is one of the greatest sources of evil in the world currently, along with capitalist greed. Yet I believe there is something to be said in particular about Stage Green, which represents the leading edge of consciousness in society today, needing to do a better job of "leading" in the hyper polarized climate today. Much of the rhetoric around anti-this, anti-that, deconstructing/critiquing everything without letting anything new really grow in its place, etc is extremely threatening to the Blue/Orange worldview which is contributing to the political sphere being so heavily polarized. Basically what I'm saying is that Green's ineffective approaches of communicating with Blue and Orange have massively contributed to the political state today and the election of Trump...this is what Ken is getting at, which is why he eats into Green so much in his books and podcasts...he believes because Green is the most developed group, that they have a responsibility as the "leading edge" to facilitate progress, and they've done a terrible job at this, causing Blue and low Orange to rally behind the devil Trump. There is a lot of merit to saying Stage Green is the problem (of course not the ONLY problem)...but let's discuss this. What role does Green play in the present day political sphere? And what can be done to improve the situation?

Most batshit thing I've read on this forum.

Leo should get out of Las Vegas if he wants to get over that paradigm lock, so many materialistic stage orange women there that only reinforce his view of dating and women.

Spiritual teacher Aaron Abke appears to support Trump. At least he isn't openly a zealous MAGA supporter, but I always knew there was something up with the guy. He says in these comments "It is our opinion that God is using Trump to expose the deep state, the division in our country, and spark a movement of awakening towards unity."..."I think Trump was far and away the best president of my lifetime." Yuck. What a joke. Now I can't take him seriously anymore.

Absolutely not.

@Something Funny He and the guy he runs his podcast with I assume

There is no one who voted for Trump that has their center of gravity in Green or Yellow.

such a simple yet effective metric to see who is full of shit lol

It's always some evil "overlords", "elites", "higher ups" that no one knows about or has ever seen that are somehow controlling everyone and everything and actively plotting against them...they run wild with this narrative.

@Emerald Do you think there is a way for someone to realize that masculine and feminine are more than purely social constructs without using psychedelics? I have many friends who think masc and fem are only social constructs and I've been at a loss of words trying to explain to them that such a thing is not the case.

Yes in messages where Claude has to analyze a lot of data at once the message limit can be reached rather quickly. I import my journals for Claude to analyze which contains more than 100,000 words, this is pretty heavy so I can only do so much before the message limit is reached.

Vivek is Trump's minion.

@Leo Gura no financial gain? Really? Feel like you could sell a lot of copies depending how you brand Leo

@Leo Gura approximately when will the course be released?

what everyone else is saying about exercise is extremely accurate. It is the #1 most important habit for keeping the depression away. I am not diagnosed but bipolar is common within my family and I usually go through at least one depressive spell and one hypomanic episode per year. I have gotten very good at fighting the depression, ever since I found my life purpose and began the process of actualizing it along with working out 3-5x a week I pretty much never get depressed anymore, whereas before I would become suicidally depressed in my episodes when I felt no purpose in life, was not working out, and had bad routines and habits. I would be curious to know what your hypomanias are like? These are the episodes that have the potential to be harmful if you aren't aware what can trigger it and when it is coming on.

@VictorB02 Your points sound like they are coming STRAIGHT from some conservative media outlet. There's hardly any depth to anything you are saying. All of this is highly nation-centric which is a very limited perspective. I'm hearing the narrative that what you're saying is about me, my country, my nation, my people...but at the end of the day, it's not about the US, it's about the whole entire world. As the leading military power, the US has a duty to maintain peace on this Earth...it would be an abomination to not help Ukraine in this situation, who Russia wants to usurp literally just because they don't like the fact that Ukraine has become more westernized (more like the US) and has swayed from Russia's collective values. It would be extremely concerning if we simply just allowed Russia to annex Ukraine. The illegal migrant issue as well as the homeless and homeless veteran issue is a very complex and nuanced topic. Yes, all these illegal migrants and the perks they get do get mess with the balance and make life more difficult for a lot of people in the US but they come here in the first place to escape actual "nightmares of poverty"...I find it absolutely atrocious that you called the PNW a nightmare and war zone...dude I have lived there my whole life and if you call that a nightmare then you better call Mexico the absolute darkest depths of fucking hell. What we should be doing is funding and setting up more projects in Central America to help develop them so these countries are no longer shitholes that people need to flee from. I would gladly pay 2% of my income to these projects if they were set up correctly...but of course conservatives would lose their fucking minds if this happened and call it an infringement on their freedom and liberty and continue to get angry as hell when illegal migrants enter their country without ever fucking acknowledging why they came here in the first place.

@The Mystical Man If thousands of people lives are changed for the better because of Leo's teachings and 2 people commit suicide, should he take all his videos down?

This thread made me brain dead

You are right about this. I have thought about this a lot and ultimately listened to my heart when it came to the decision. The two girls that I have met are definitely not completely turquoise, but I would say they are solidly Tier 2. I go to a university with 23,000 students. 0.01% of 23,000 is 23. That would leave 11 or 12 of them being female. And there are probably less than that because college aged kids are usually younger than a fully developed human. But I don't see why it would be so shocking to meet a couple girls out of the maybe 4 or 5 or more that are solidly Tier 2 at the school. I met one of them at an outdoor yoga class, which is a place they have a good chance to be.

Why is it so hard to believe?

It's not for the most part. The separation is due to a variety of reasons.

After 22 years of life and over 3 years of spiritual work, I have finally made clear my Life Purpose: Raising Humanity’s Consciousness Through Storytelling. From a young age I have always had a knack for storytelling, as I have always been one to daydream in class and imagine countless fascinating fictional scenarios. When I was 5 years old I would create little pocket books with drawings and a caption at the bottom of page that told a story as you flipped through the pages. In elementary school I won multiple awards for stories I had written…my mom told me I could be a great writer one day and that idea has never left me. I wrote some more fiction in high school (never showed anybody, it’s cringe lol), and in this past year I have written a couple short stories that have received positive praise from the people I have shown it to, one of which was a creative writing major herself. I have also from a young age filmed random skits with my friends and even worked on a couple higher production level short films with one of my friends who is studying film. And through all of this, whichever medium it may be, I am just absolutely in love with the storytelling aspect. I want to create deeply moving, consciousness tickling work that makes the reader/viewer’s jaw drop, make them think about reality in a radically different way, and/or leave them inspired to improve their lives and raise their consciousness. Some movies that gave me these feelings are: Interstellar, Annihilation, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049 Some books that left me these feelings are: Beyond Azara by Martin Ball, The Solandarian Game by Martin Ball, Beneath a Scarlett Sky by Mark Sullivan, Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman…and I’m sure there’s more I can’t remember right now. Phase 1 of the actualization of this Life Purpose is starting a new Youtube Channel. I have already created a Youtube channel before (search "The Curious Minds") and I had solid success, amassing over 35,000 subscribers and making more than $10,000 total on that project in a 2.5 year span…so I know the ins and outs of Youtube, how the algorithm works, how to keep the viewer engaged, how to build a community. I am going to take it next level with the content I am going to create. Not just next level…but world class. Given that I already have multiple years of experience creating topic, I have confidence I can reach world class level within 1-2 years of starting this project. I’ve saved several thousand dollars already so that I can purchase high quality computer, camera, microphone, etc. I am going to weave in storytelling into my videos…short skits that are about whatever topics the video is on. For example I have an idea for a video, with tentative title “Radical Honesty - How to Transform Your Life by Telling the Truth.” The video would start with a 4 or 5 minute skit depicting how a guy puts himself into a mental prison with the lies he tells…then when the skit reaches a stopping point I would come onto the screen in a sit-down setting and talk about the concept of Radical Honesty for several more minutes…and then then story would continue again, and then at a stopping point I would talk about Radical Honesty some more. I envision each video being somewhere between 20 and 40 minutes, maybe some even up to an hour…I keep having the deep feeling of trust that If I grind and put in the work, that this channel will grow a big and loyal following. It’s not just the channel either…it’s a whole ass business. I have spent probably over 100 hours now researching one-person business models and I think I am pretty clear now on how I am going to pull this off. I am going to funnel my audience to my community online, where I will have my own website, which will contain my newsletter…as well as 1-on-1 coaching…another thing on the coaching part…I have gained some experience with therapy skills and life coaching in the past year or so (I am a psychology major) and I have loved it. So if I could pull this off…make my creative content online and also have some coaching clients on the side…fuck that would be the dream come true. Eventually I want to sell other products on my website too, I already have dozens of ideas for products that I won’t say because I don’t want anyone to steal the idea…but I will say one of them could be a Self-Actualizaton journal that is filled with prompts and practices to help one find meaning in life and move one closer towards discovering/carrying out their Life Purpose. But yeah, that is the general plan outline for Phase 1. I imagine that building this business will take up most of my waking hours for the next couple years, so I need to get ready to grind and make sure I am in peak mental fitness each and every day. As soon as I am able, my plan is to buy a plot of land with a couple friends in relative close proximity to a national park (my two friends and I have “sworn” that we will do this) and build 6-10 yurts on the land and rent out on AirBnb. If this plan goes well, these two business projects will make me a very well off person financially and give me immense freedom in life. Once I am financially free is when Phase 2 begins (I am 22 right now and realistically I think this could happen before I am 30). Phase 2 is when I dive deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep into the spiritual work, hell maybe even Leo level deep…and then with my newfound level of consciousness and my mastery in the art of storytelling I will be able to tell the most profound stories humanity has ever heard…I don’t even know if that many people would read them because the level of consciousness of humanity is so low, but I wouldn’t even care because I woud be financially free and not trying to change my stories to make a buck. Also sidenote I have been writing streams of consciousness multiple times weekly on a single document for over 5 years and this document contains several hundreds of thousands of words. Near the end of my life I plan to release the entire writings from that document that contain my most wicked, fucked up thoughts that people would hate me for but also contain the thoughts that make me a vehicle of love for humanity and I will title it something like “The Raw Human” But anyways that is the outline for my LP. The vision has been getting clearer and clearer for some time, and now it is finally crystal clear now that a busy ass quarter of college (don’t even really know why i am in college anymore lol but I’m about to graduate this year so finishing it out) is over and now that I have separated from my gf who took up a lot of my time, giving me clarity of mind to think about my next step in life (thank god), Much love everyone, just wanted to share. See you at the top! Feedback is appreciated, as well as potential blindspots that people might be able to point out.

I have also learned there a lot of Green women who talk Turquoise but are really just dogmatic new-age spiritualists. Be aware of this trap.

Interesting perspective. You might be right on this. I just dumped a Green/Yellow woman...sometimes I wonder if I will ever find anyone better. I have met a couple solidly Tier 2 women (with a good amount of Turquoise) over the past couple years and I got to say I want to have the attitude where I won't settle for anything less than someone like them. In both cases when I met these women they were already in a relationship and/or I was in one too, but I still remain friends with one of them and she is dating a yoga guy who is like 10 years older than her. But damn...love talking with these women, even if it is just sexually neutral friendly conversations. The Tier 2 women are out there, but yeah they rare as fuck.

@Pharion Glad to hear from you. Wow, it does sound like we have a lot of similarities with our creative minds. And good job on almost finishing your first novel! What is it about? Yeah, that was my main concern about going straight into writing novels...it is so hard to make a living off it. Most people don't realize how extraordinarily difficult it is to make it as an author. Making it as an author has got to be one of the lowest success rates of any other professional endeavor. The thing with my work is that I want to be able to write completely freely and not care if my work makes it to the New York Times Bestseller list or not. Two books that moved me extremely deeply (mentioned in original post) were Beyond Azara and The Solandarian Game by Martin Ball. I doubt those books have even sold 2,000 copies, and the everyday person would not understand its spiritual themes at all. But those books are fucking masterpieces, and I want to create work like that. I don't want to change my ideas and cater to the masses just so I can survive, which is why I believe this business is necessary for me to create first.
