@Leo Gura Thank you for your response! To be more specific, I’m curious about how your personal growth through the stages of ego development has influenced areas like family relationships, decision-making, career choices, and overall well-being. For example, do you experience more ease in your relationships or feel more relaxed overall? How has your approach to procrastination, addiction, or stress changed as you've progressed through these stages? I’d appreciate your insights on how deeper development affects everyday life in these areas. Thanks again for your time!

@Leo Gura I understand that individuals in the Achiever and Expert stages often develop valuable skills that align well with Stage Orange cultures, potentially improving their financial situation. Forgive me for being too probing, but I’m curious: Given your ability to discuss complex topics and your apparent depth of understanding, how would you describe your own life now, especially considering that you seem to be beyond conventional stages as shown in your videos?

@Leo Gura I'm curious about the relationship between Ego Development Theory (by Susanne Cook-Greuter) and personal challenges like addiction, low self-esteem, and financial poverty. Specifically, as individuals progress through the stages of ego development, do these issues tend to diminish or shift? Is there a connection between the stages of ego development and a reduction in financial poverty?

@Carl-Richard Good for you . Since there is a lot of benefits to the theory and working through it and develop your functions in order . it's fun. I am starting to realise that functions themselves have level of maturity so , each functions have some classical activities and actions associated with it and it helps work through them untill you optimally express your type

Hello Fellow INTPs, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how you’ve experienced the evolution of your cognitive functions and type expression over time. How have you noticed your own growth and maturity compared to other INTPs who may seem less developed or more dysfunctional in how they express their cognitive functions? Looking forward to your insights!

I understand that many people customize Leo's teachings to suit their own needs, but I have a genuine question: how do you approach and integrate his teachings? I recognize that integration is part of the yellow stage, tier 2 thinking, so I’m curious about your methods. It seems that Leo’s ideas and concepts stem from his awareness and evolution through different stages of ego development. Would it be fair to say that a productive way to engage with his work is to study the nine stages of ego development and reflect on how to integrate each one? As you do this, you might find connections to ideas in his other videos. His concepts often feel like they’re woven together in a complex web, with the nine stages serving as a central framework that helps make sense of everything, ultimately guiding us toward meta-rationality and greater self-awareness.

What is or in other words isness , when you are not pointing at it with your defecient perception or linguistic pointers .

Hello, everyone. I would appreciate your suggestions on how to handle toxic Stage Red behaviors, such as catcalling, sexual harassment, and violence among teens and young men. How can we approach this issue, especially since the Blue stage often normalizes such behaviors or lacks awareness of their dangers? I’m looking for ways to address this without directly confronting those exhibiting these behaviors. Additionally, what strategies can we implement to foster a culture of respect and assertiveness among peers and others who may not be considered their peers ?

@Leo Gura Yes . Since you are already leading people somewhere into metarationality , and Tier 2 thinking and all the episodes you have that are practical or have understanding feature into them helps the audience to reach to tier 2 , then I thought I should focus on Development psychology videos since that is what you are trying to teach people to move towards . I wasted a bit time studying Practical episodes independently, when I should have understood that they should help me move to the second stage with , in SD and 9 Stages model .

@Leo Gura

Hey Leo, I’ve been following your work, and in your last episode, you talked about narrowing your niche and guiding us towards Spiral Dynamics Tier 2, construct awareness, and metarationality. It sounds like an amazing journey! Your episode on post-modernism was fantastic. I have a couple of questions. Since everything seems to hinge on the Spiral Dynamics stages and the 9 Stages of Ego Development, do you think it’s more effective to use the principles you discuss to transcend or integrate these stages, rather than diving into each episode separately? For example, should I assess where I am in both Spiral Dynamics and the ego development stages, and then apply relevant principles from your episodes to integrate and transcend these stages holistically? Is this the approach others are taking? Also, could insights from episodes like the Psychology of Being Wrong and life traps help identify what’s blocking progress in our current stage? And then, once we see results, use other episodes and psychological principles to move forward with you guys toward other stages ? - I’m coming from a purple culture with some blue influences and a few orange institutions, but no green. Thanks!

@Leo Gura How about contemplating this problem , and try to brainstorm questions and answers and then rewire the problem . Like ask myself , what are the ways in which I am failing to love myself ? - And then contemplating the answer and grounding myself in practical example . Or questions , how do I behave when I don't love myself ? - what psychological concepts I need to understand to make self-love easy ? - How the ego that is deficient in love behaves and frames reality and may be after that work on each problem that results in this deficiencies like bad assumption , defaulting authority to others , having a weak sense of self , being unhappy -- which of course you have supplied the audience with video teachings about .

@Leo Gura Thank you

@Leo GuraThis might sound crazy, but I'm really lost when it comes to creating concepts like the frame of how messed up my life is. Can you help me brainstorm some questions? The thing is, I struggle with loving myself. I don’t love myself, and I think it goes way back to when I was a kid. I was constantly criticized for everything, to the point where my internal monologue is just messed up. It feels like there’s nothing I can do—whether it's moving, walking, whatever—without feeling guilty or getting investigated .

@Leo Gura You've mentioned before that everything can be seen from a certain perspective, like there's always a context for how you look at something. I really dig your ideas, even when they aren't directly related to the main topic. For example, you've talked about setting the player's frame in dating situations, and that kind of stuff sticks with me. Here's what I'm wondering: when it comes to having a strong or weak frame, would you say that some of your practical advice—like in your videos on gaslighting, double standards, and What is neuroticism and other practical videoss —is all about building a strong frame? Do you think these approaches work better than the usual steps people follow to develop a strong frame that others can pick up on? Also, because the concept of frame is kind of nebulous and fuzzy, you mentioned in the gaslighting episode how some people just have a strong sense of reality, and I totally agree. You, for example, have this commanding presence that grabs attention. How can that be accomplished? Is frame also about how others see you physically before you even speak? We all know how creepy guys can have a frame, but it’s a useless and dangerous one—whatever they say makes women anxious, but if the same thing is said by an attractive guy, it doesn’t come off as creepy at all.
