Hello from Russia

No, I am a graphic designer , I do visual identity, web design and stuff. Everything interconnects, indeed

I do graphic design for my current LP and recently decided to learn drawing because it is very beneficial here. I feel like my skill grows exponentially. Gains are very fast when you focus on fundamentals .

I'm not trying to bash on you, but like many people you've probably learned drawing unconsciously through brut practice, as these things are not nearly fundamentals of drawing (not saying these are useless tho). Drawing is about mental models. It's "seeing" and interpreting real-world from certain perspectives that can be put down on a piece of paper (a piece of paper has its limits). Chances are, you learned a ton of good mental models that are applicable in drawing from your 3D and architecture studies. What we usually call "drawing" skills is basically being able to project depth on a paper and make it look "3D" or so-called, "realistic", it directly comes from 3D and architecture skills. Same with your chiropractor studies. You learned scientific models of a human body and you probably also learned yogic practices from spirituality or things like Vipassana which contributed a lot. And you also became braver with cross trying stuff and noticing new connections, as well as brave enough to try stuff on your own from spirituality and self-development material. It's all explainable. Feeling great for you tho

Good technique for having a long term safe sex is to get married or be in a committed long-term relationship with a girl who wasn't playing slut character before she met you (sleeping with everyone) . This way you don't get any stds or chance is super low. Otherwise, there is always risk involved. Other than that, I'd say it's more about who you're having sex with, rather than having specific protection tools. There are a shit ton of tools in the market, you can easily google them, but the problem is they strip away joy and intimacy from the intercourse since you can't feel your partner directly and "fluid-bond" with him. It diminishes trust and you both will also have less chemical released from that kind of sex. Condoms are great, but they are somewhat limited in that area still. Let's say you wear a condom but want to lick her pussy. If she has an STD you're pretty much screwed. So what is the solution? To wear these mental dams made for kunnilingus? And then you would make her wear that dam for a blowjob so you're sure she doesn't give you herpes? How can you enjoy a pussy or a dick this way?

Interesting, I found in my experience that music is lowering my productivity when I do creative and intellectual type of work

Commitment is the key to well lived life

Ken Wilber, bro

Hi there! Does someone here know good quality conscious porn or sex films? Not the stuff you typically see on pornhub and other places but very intimate, sensual, "spiritual" kind of sex. Art-like, not perverted and not just masturbation with each other bodies. Subtle feeling-awareness and sense of union over the gross sensations of a physical body. Sex you would want to have with your sincerely loved one. Stage Turquoise and beyond kind of sex

Study creativity and creativity techniques. Leo's booklist has some good things about it. I'll add one good book from me (which is not in the booklist) - ThinkerToys. This book will gve you many creativity lessons and exercises you can use to improve your creative thinking and creative output. But the juiciest is contemplate what creativity is and what does it mean to be creative. Then contemplate how you can be a creator in your life and what are some practical steps you should take to start becoming one. Then think what you actually want to create and start doing it and learn by practice. Practice Creating and iterating. Don't get stuck in perfection paralysis, just move on and keep creating, experiment. Then think about your creative process holistically and systemically, notice patterns, see where you can improve stuff, analyze what you're doing, what is the output of your input, see how different inputs interconnect, see how you can get more and better output (contemplate what output means in your scenario) for the near the same input effort-wise. Notice that sometimes it takes some time for output to occur and give you insights and feedback. Be patient about that. And never stop creating. Creation&Iteration. Feedback from your creations and actions is the best teacher. Hope I was helpful

Good stuff

I mostly agree with everything above, especially Shin's post I'll add that doing yoga or any other practice whose point is to raise your feeling-awarness\energetic body is good for sex

It's not for imagination, it's for reference Show the technique , we might try it with my wife

It is less efective. Because you can eat more nutritious food instead of it and it will give a boost to your nervous system. It's not only about macronutrients, it's about micro too, especially intake of things like potassium and magnesium. You begin to appreciate it when you see how folks like Arnold trained (I Highly recommend to read his encyclopedia of bodybuilding by the way if you're serious about your pursuits), he calculated almost every calorie and tried to eat as less empty or nutrition poor foods as possible, same did Bruce Lee. Even when he was bulking up. He would eat like 4k calories of super nutritious foods which would give him a ton of energy and nervous system strength so he would train like a champion, lift big and grow much. Compare his approach to how most people in conventional society train and behave. They use "bulking up" as an excuse to shit 50% of their daily calories with sugar and wheat products. Then they wonder why they don't achieve much with their "bulking" and suffer from various health consequences

Nice forgetting technique I should say

Fuck this, I only finished studying Ken Wilbers Integral theory with all of his implications. And there is an another one

Start the contemplation practice on your writing - the most direct method on getting good at anything

It's not about niche, it's about mindset and way of living\doing things and looking at the world at a certain. Yellow is fundamentally about having a big picture understanding of life and things in life, systematic view on the world. Once the knowledge is obtained you take advantage of your knowledge and lead people to greater good (if you choose to) and high level of productivity\wellness. Area of application is irrelevant and can be anything to your liking. Before leading big it is a good idea to have a pedigree of results in leading small (which is your self and small business success).

Mine too

It's pretty easy to pigeon hole them into coral\teal, i'd much rather see an example of blue\orange\green enlightened people and see how they differ kinesthetically and vibrationally

@kieranjaegar Glad to see you're crushing in life, my respect, man

This book is amazing, very practical stage orange shit, indeed

I find TJ Reeves covers more earthy topics pretty well and he does it from the same place (he follows the same religious\spiritual patterns as most of guys here and Leo)

Article you linked is pure devilry

I think you should create what you want first and then show it to Leo, maybe he'll consider to adding it to some episode in the future
