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.

Can you add one more to these? Substance Metaphysics Idealistic Metaphysics Process Metaphysics Energy Metaphysics

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.

I've already studied Communist ideology. I don't think I need to study Alt-right ideology because I've already studied Conservative ideology. I have to admit I'm still interested in studying Hitler and Nazi culture though. Yeah. Good conversation though Leo. My bud!

I study theories and idea systems in order to practically integrate them and use them in my own personal/ interpersonal development work. I don't really care about ideas as much as I care about applying them. There's a reason the collective unconscious is what it is. The ideas that are around have survived for some reason. You wanna take the good from those and leave the bad behind and that's where you frankenstein sustainable solutions to particular problems you've identified that you wanna solve. You don't wanna re-invent the wheel; you wanna optimize the wheel that's already there with more wisdom drawn from the world (the collective unconscious) not from the mind alone. First you gotta identify an actual political problem that you wanna solve and turn that into a project. Then look at the entire idea-field in order to help you get a sustainable solution to the problem that that project is addressing. What is your Political Work project that you're implementing Leo? What is the actual problem that your project is trying to solve or help solve?

What if we looked at Libertarianism point by point and checked each point. We need to apply the paradox of the details and the general. The general only takes you so far where you get locked into the habit of hand-waiving and dismissing entire systems without getting into the details of those systems at all. No, you gotta get into the details of Libertarianism and see how those details can help solve specific political problems that you're made it your project to help solve.

What if one were to integrate the pros of libertarianism and leave the cons of it behind? What if we were to integrate all the major political theories in this pros and cons type way to sustainably solve actual political problems? So, in that case, you don't wanna exclude or throw anything away, you wanna frankenstein solutions that make use of all the pros of the ideas we have but while simultaneously leaving the cons out. So, libertarianism has pros and cons to it. We don't wanna throw the baby about with the bathwater by thinking linearly about systems. We wanna be more integral in how we look at political theories.

But a monastery is run my a tried and true master.

This is why you gotta do personal development to a very advanced level before you can excel in interpersonal development. Not trying to be rude, just making a point.

Agreed. Or else stay away from politics. Too much political mental masturbation on the Web as it is. Every Ego wants to push its political beliefs so it feels more right and more safe and more mature (less idiotic). Oftentimes, it's people who are trying to resolve a trauma related to idiocy that gravitate toward politics. Moreover, in many instances these people clearly give off an energy of not having their heads screwed on tight.

You're so loyal. So much so that it's become a trap for you. You need to apply the paradox of loyalty and independence. See how white-knuckle clinging to one side of this paradox to the exclusion to the other creates a lock for you and suffering for you and for others?

Yes. And it has to come out of you where you're living it yourself. You've done the practical work using the theory on yourself.

Only Stage Yellow and above people should be teaching doing Politics Work as an aspect of Personal Development Work. Otherwise, it just becomes another mental-masturbation away from other things that one should focus on first in this work. Keep first things first!

If you're gonna touch the subject of politics in my opinion you better show practically how Politics Work is an aspect of Personal Development Work. No frou-frou spouting off at the mouth about politics is gonna be enough. We already have enough of that. If you're gonna even talk about Politics Work as a personal development teacher, you gotta emphasize vision, strategy, and taking action in Politics Work as a very advanced form of Personal Development Work that one can do in my opinion. No mere mouthing off and dissociating into politics please, the Internet is already so badly infected by that meme. So, if you're gonna touch politics, do it right, don't use it to hide away or to further hammer in your own pet beliefs and theories about politics. Nobody cares about that. Keep it personal development focused with an emphasis on taking action to improve political systems such that the focus is on solving real societal problems rather than white-knuckle clinging to or spouting-off ideology.

Yep. Politics Work is for after you get your own life handled; then you go and do politics. Otherwise it just becomes another fertile ground for a person to use to mentally bypass and dissociate from working on their own actual, mundane life. You gotta become mindful that hiding-away into anything to avoid your own life tendency and pull it out by the root! I used to have this tendency too so I understand. This is hard to teach people because facing, fixing, and prioritizing your own mundane life can be very hard to get someone to do who wants to run and hide from their mundane, actual life.

Politics is too far removed from the practicalities on one's life where one should be focused on in the first instance. It's another bypassing from facing one's own life, another place to hide away in the mind.

Yep. And that's what personal development work is for.

You can also do it through personal development work when you wanna wire in sustainable relationships in your life that are actually collaborative and mutually satisfying to both people and to their individual life aims, nevermind your collective life aim as a couple. Monogamy is the best, but you gotta know what relationship systems you want to find in your life and then keep those once you get them wired in so they can flower and give you the results you're seeking through interpersonal collaboration in your life.

Leo if you're an INTP, look for an ENTJ female. This is hard because there's not a lot of ENTJ females. But then you have to find the right ENTJ female that you have the right compatibility with in Big Five and the right Instinctual Variant compatibility with in Enneagram Theory. This is why somebody needs to design a better online dating system. Maybe I'll work on that too. The intimate relationship selection process is much more profound than: "Hey girl, you look great, let's go f*ck at my place!"
