Leo Gura stop cherry picking stuff without deep research. About the Ghost Dance you must be reminded that for many other tribes the movement was a sort of Con-Aritst game. Read the Book "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" to know more. Here is what the link from Wikipedia says: " Despite the widespread acceptance of the Ghost Dance movement, Navajo leaders described the Ghost Dance as "worthless words" in 1890.Three years later, James Mooney arrived at the Navajo reservation in northern Arizona during his study of the Ghost Dance movement and found the Navajo never incorporated the ritual into their society. Kehoe believed the movement did not gain traction with the tribe due to the Navajo's higher levels of social and economic satisfaction at the time. Another factor was cultural norms among the Navajo, which inculcated a fear of ghosts and spirits, based on religious beliefs. Another points: In Dee Brown's seminal history Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, Wovoka (the Paiute prophet) is primarily discussed in Chapter 18 ("Dance of the Ghosts"). Wovoka himself does not provide direct, quoted citations to the author. Instead, his teachings and prophecy are cited through historical context, third-party letters, and tribal testimonies. Wovoka's teachings can be located within the book and its broader literature using these key citations: [1] Core Prophecy: The Khan Academy Wounded Knee Massacre & The Ghost Dance article outlines how Wovoka taught the Ghost Dance to reunite ancestors, bring back the buffalo, and peacefully remove white settlers from Native lands. Chapter 18 Context: Chapter 18 of the book details how Wovoka's visionary teachings (which notably blended Christian and traditional beliefs) gave desperate tribes a sense of hope that mirrored the Christian Second Coming. So Wovoka was already infected with the Christian Virus, we can see him more like a Native American Version of Joseph Smith trying to build a cult than of a Original Tribal Person. -------- i have contact with Indigenous people and their ways of Spirituality. Many dont claim at all that is a path to God, there is many ceremonies that are aimed to unite people, solve social problems, harmonise the stuff among villagers or simply celebration. Not everything is about reaching Infinity. Sun dance Festivals exists for some other reasons, Vision Quest going to the mountain for 4 days no food no water also, are more about gaining clarity on what one wish to bring up into live and life purpouse than reaching insane levels of God Realization. And honestly you are aware enogth that is not possible or necessary that all humans beings alling with your goal of Infinity. Enjoy your Merits, you maybe will be the only one to Know what you know, people will do their own thing and never reach your levels of Cosmic MindFuckery. Also, I can bet Mr Leo Gura never had direct contact with one or several Shamans. Interesting that somewhere in your teachings you even recommend people that maybe they will need to go to a Shaman in the Forest as part of their journey. Why would you assume that doing that may be part of the path to someone's life? The question is not about listenting the worldview of the shaman, the question is where one drives his/her mind when the effect of a strong dose of Ayahuasca hits. A study link for your apreciation. Give and example to your dissmisive members and do a full reasearch on it before spilling assumptions https://www.coursehero.com/lit/Bury-My-Heart-at-Wounded-Knee/ The Guy was not a Shaman, was a desperate Con-Artist Ps: here is where you made a generalization: "This is how all tribal people reason." I know you tend to exagerate, you even confessed this tendency once, so. We all ex-agerate anyhow: The Latin Roots The word's composition breaks down directly into: \(ex-\): A prefix meaning "thoroughly" or "out". \(aggerare\): A verb meaning "to heap up" or "accumulate". \(agger\): The root noun for a "heap," "pile," "mound," or "earthwork". [1, 2] The Evolution to "Overstating" Over time, the physical imagery of piling dirt or stones morphed into a figurative meaning. Just as aggerare meant to magnify or amplify an earthwork, the English word shifted by the 1560s to mean magnifying a story, stretching the truth, or describing something as more extreme than it actually is.

No, All the work I did till now to understand reality help a lot to be more calibrated socialy, understanding can be applied in any domain of life.

For example?

One point here for the ones explicitly,subtly and sneakly dissmising structural issues. A while ago, someone commented : "Live and let live." under one post of a writer that brings up structural analysis including Patriarchy, Racism,Whiteness, Neo-colonialism Is the logic that "Life is just like this" "Nature,God whatever just wished this way" And honestly, the context almost doesn't matter, but when we are debating about systemic issues. we are not not debating whether pineapple belongs on pizza or whether someone prefers cucumber or lemon slices in their water. we are talking about structures. Power. Violence. Exploitation dressed up as normality. The kind of things that should not simply be "lived with," but questioned, challenged, and dismantled. So when someone says "live and let live" in response to structural critique, I immediately know one of two things: either they fundamentally do not understand systems, or they do understand them and simply benefit from pretending they don't. The phrase itself sounds harmless. It has the energy of a wooden sign in an Airbnb kitchen next to a surfboard. Relaxed. Easy. Deeply committed to never having to think too hard. But beneath its peaceful little surface sits one of the most effective status quo preservation mechanisms of our time. Because "live and let live" only works in a world where everyone has equal power to live. And that world does not exist. One of the teachings that mattered most in yoga is cause and effect. Not in the Instagram-spirituality sense where people post "good vibes attract good vibes" sitting in a Bali rice field and call it enlightenment. I mean the actual principle: everything we do — and everything we refuse to do — creates consequences. Every action shapes a relationship. Every silence protects something. Every refusal to engage has a beneficiary. Nothing exists in isolation, no matter how badly modern individualism wants us to believe otherwise. Is all the systems that exist are natural, God inspired and not needed to be undertood and dismantled for the sake of a better future so all the rants about corruption by Leo or anyone wherr need to stop full on and be considered inproductive since we are just debating systems that exist and are natural and ee better shut up and live and let live.

Guys here talking ill about Feminism. Check this https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYT7vwIzuEe/?igsh=MXBtdmJnZ2RhcXVkYQ== This guy even follow Actualized.org Instagram. Hope maybe one day he comes to the Forum, see this thread and add something to it.

Yup, and Leo is free of falt from this since he warned many times for guys about this trap.

You are imagining guys who you assume are refusing what means to he imagining themselfs. Some of these imginary guys may understand well what means to imagine themselfs and they just decide to be modest and not boost around about that.

I have a partner, I love woman thats why I share this stuff and thats why I am becoming aware of it, because there are several unconscious ways that one may relate with woman that if not adderesed will derail the relationship.

Oh so prude.

The name for this sort of members is "LeoGura Minions" Some may never even get any direct solopsitic experience and will keep living and debating as they truly understand what they are talking about just because they watched the video or intelectually understand the concept. Beware of Borrowed Knowledge is a underated advice around here.

Sharing for the women here. As I said I lost hope for the men commenting in this issues. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYkwBLNjOcF/?igsh=YW4xdXR0bDFybHI3

If you guys are not able to find good quality porn online you maybe could not realize that there are Great Nude Art Photographers that take their skills seriously. There is one that even offers a course for Photographers, his name Petter Hegre. Instead of Watching stuff one can become a professional of human photography. Can become even a life purpose, becoming a Photographer of Human beauty.

The sort of Porn I watch is good quality, only one room well iluminated, a big mattres in white sheets and normaly the man doing a long well done massage before any sex starts. Sometimes is the woman doing the massage, long Slow massage in the penis before any penetration. I watch this movies to learn massage movements. Of course in the end of story when I am present with my girl I just follow what the moment asks for, attuned to her body, but the skill from good quality porn are usefull. The secred if pure presence in your own body and listening her body, listening her. The regular fast paced porn will only rot your mind of what real lovemaking constitutes.

The emotional labor is that men dont take the deep work to understand his emotions, his shadows and the suble ways emotions work that in the end the women end up becoming the Therapist for the men, the unpaid Therapist. To be emotive and sensitive is normal for both genders, the thing is that some woman take the work necessary to learn about her emotions,nervous system somatics etc.. many man are far way behind in this matters. That makes untrained men a burden to some woman. And I say some woman on purpose because a Real Man will of course not tolerate unconscious drama from girls. If you ever meet a Woman who did work on herself you for sure will not get away easy with the sort of BS you spill here.

Dear remember, if you debate with the stupid he will bring you to his level in order to win. Actually if he was able to bring you down he already apparentlly won. Apparentlly because in his perception he won.
