Sure. If I must touch a concept of truth, that's the one I prefer when used in Enlightenment talk.

Truth is an abstraction.

The worst trap is to think that you're done on the path.

I hear some Stage Coral advancement for sure. Like Stage Coral and Stage Blue had a baby.

But what I'm saying Leo is that you do too and I don't think you see this in yourself. You have a very moralistic, judgmental, absolute truth-ish, almost puritanical energy. It's almost like you're teaching your own Shadow.

@Leo Gura I'm just curious about one thing Leo. Why are you so moralistic, absolute truth-ish, almost puritanical in your energy, yet you preach in words the importance of not clinging to 'shoulds'? How does that work out? You sound like a very Orthodox religious man. That's the energy that comes off. Very Stage Blue. Very absolute truth-ish. It's like Mohammad, everybody's job is to copy his words and deeds because he was right by God; he alone was the source of the Absolute Truth.

"Republican" is just a word and a concept that human beings are more or less resonant with. That's all it is. It's a linear label. Every person is a mix between Conserativism (Yang) and Progressivism (Yin). Apply the Paradox of Conservativism and Progressivism. In that case, you'll see that the word/concept "Republican" has pros and cons, and you can integrate the pros and leave behind the cons of the word/concept "Republican". Don't judge it, use it, see.

If you put out low-character energy into reality, reality directs low-character energy towards you.

Now, what's wrong with Republicans? This looks like a lock.

So true. Two very different solutions can bring about the very same fix.

Are you addicted to being smart in life? Believe it or not this does have pros and cons. You wanna apply the Paradox of Knowing and Not Knowing. You create a lock when you white-knuckle cling to the Knowing side of this paradox. Ditto for white-knuckle clinging to the Not Knowing side of this paradox.

Ultimately, Personal/ Interpersonal Development Work should be thought of as a career that has the best kick-back benefits. If you can think that way about this work, you'll be so far ahead of most people. But this is only for the very advanced and very motivated in this work. This is the teacher path, the Brahman path if you will. Brahmans make a career out of teaching and doing Personal/Interpersonal Development Work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman

You only use what benefits your life and the relationship connections you choose to create and develop for yourself, but those relationship connections can become very large, as in a community or even way beyond that. But it all starts from you being highly-developed, knowing what you want, taking massive action, and that spreading outward more and more as time goes on. You're getting a kiss back from reality due to what you put into reality. It's what I call an Upward Spiral.

Actually, you wanna integrate (integrate the pros but leave behind the cons of) Jnana, Kriya, Karma, and Bhakti Yogas, along with all other teachings available in the Collective Conscious and the Collective Unconscious.

I think I'm kinda Karma Yoga. Karma Yogis focus on taking action in the first instance.

I feel like my Crown Chakra and Solar Plexus Chakra have been painful in the last couple of weeks. But I've been really using these lately, so I'm beginning to think Chakras can be overused as well as underused. What do you think? There were many times where I would feel a pain/fatigue at the top of my head (Crown Chakra) and also in my belly area (Solar Plexus Chakra).

Sorry. I will re-read what you wrote.

@Aakash The Law Of Attraction is a fundamental observation of how the Interpersonal World tends to respond to the Personal World from a systems standpoint, not some airy-fairy thing. Law of Attraction Work can be done as an aspect of Personal/Interpersonal Development Work.

Good for you. Write down those calories! I estimate the calories for everything I eat. I keep a list of everything I eat with a calorie estimate to the right. I can tell you at the end of each day how many calories I consumed and burned through exercise.

Love your videos man. You have a good energy to do personal development videos. I love your video on losing fat. People will make all kinds of rationalizations around Fat Loss Work I find. Lots of limiting-beliefs, excuses, blocks, fears, self-fulfilling prophesies, death-wish dynamics, locks, etc. going on with Fat Loss Work as an aspect of Personal Development Work.

Yep. But I've always have a good energy read on things. My perspective is worth taking seriously by smart people. But of course, I'm just a perspective. But I'm a wise perspective. I've done a lot of work on the Personal/ Interpersonal Development Path. Be more gentle, soft-spoken, kiss people more, give more overt appreciation in words to people. Then reality will give this energy back to you through the Law of Attraction. It's a minor tweak in what you're already doing actually. if people made just this one minor change, their relationships and community-building efforts would transform.

If he's an INTP, then it suits him to be a philosopher. In that he's functioning from his strengths. Each personality has a different set of strengths.

Now we're talkin'. Good list. Now you're gonna do something about these problems yourself Leo? This is what you think you're gonna solve with your time and efforts?

First of all you gotta find a political problem that you can help solve. Then you gotta create and develop a force that can sustainably solve that problem. You gotta select a political problem to solve just like you select your wife or your work colleagues -- very carefully. Maybe you can list 10 actual political problems that you can help solve in your life with your time and energy. You need to select those problems vary carefully; this is called the selection process. This is Political Work as an aspect of Personal/Interpersonal Development Work.
