Leo, I nominate Marinador as a new mod...?

[Leo Gura]

We do have a strong left-wing bias here. Not sure what else you expect from a bunch of New Agers.

My character is both transcendently progressive (no judgement of the very “worst” or “best“ things) and happy, btw.. You’d be surprised just how many conservatives are enlightened. It’s actually almost infuriating, if I could possibly care. None of them are on air though. Perhaps it isn’t even that common it’s just many conservatives that I happen to know and love. “They“ were actually so deluded they thought their kids’ minds would grow up into what they thought was “right“ (which was just a dream; absolutely zero reality whatsoever). But that created perfection more than you, or even they, could ever know. Again, this is coming from a progressive character. Reluctantly (easiest decision I ever made) voted for Biden.

Well, at least now Leo has become upfront about his position. Feel free to leave. No one is forcing you to agree or stay. If Leo wants his forum to be discussing politics from a left-wing angle, it's his forum and we have no saying in that.

Godspeed.

[Leo Gura]

I've always been upfront about my position. I don't play fake neutrality games.

[mandyjw]

What politics exactly are you referring to?

[Lyubov]

You barely even articulate what you’re talking about. Do you just want to be noticed or have a discussion?

You used to talk from a position of "truth". That's very different.

Forum right-winger strategy:

1. Announce that you're leaving

2. Insert hard-hitting blanket statement

3. Self-destruct

There is no bias. No right or wrong. It’s actually unbelievable to a liberal (like “me”) that a conservative could be enlightened. They can and sometimes are. Let that fucking sink in. Read it and weep, fellow progressives.

By liberal I don’t mean what Vaush calls liberal. That’s practically conservative.

Which enlightened people are are liberals or conservatives?

 I think most enlightened people have probably transcended political duality.

You wouldn't know them. It's possible they're just extremely selfless people, but all I'm saying is a realized person is not always identifiable by the actions people assume. They can realize that nothing is really wrong, but still have an inborn desire to donate money to an organization that they think will do good, when any leftist would generally find that organization a disgusting waste of resources and an impediment to human flourishing.

You know, I'm not a republican but this person does have a point and you guys are showcasing the collective egoic problem with this forum that unfortunately would not have happened had Leo worked on his arrogance and dislike of weakness initially before starting a community.

Because unfortunately you guys either already had that in your psyches or due to following this person you have allowed yourselves to take that on arrogance is like a virus a disease and it flourishes especially when a leader showcases such character flaws.

Take note at the somewhat psychopathic level of interaction that people have with one another on this forum it is a problem and it's getting worse.

When someone says that there is something not quite right with the equilibrium of this place they aren't lying and you guys are gaslighting by not accepting that it's true - because it is all you have to do is feel into your gut and take a good look at how people communicate. 

A good number of you are caught in the monkey see monkey do game.

Before long this place will end up being an echo chamber of arrogant fools, there won't be any form of unique thought or individuality whatsoever.  Spiritually or personally.

You guys can't see that happening here with how old members are being run out?

Those of you who have been here for a long time should notice that there is a change in the atmosphere from the way that it used to be.  I've been here since 2016 and it has gone downhill and it's everybody's responsibility to stop shut the f****** and figure out why that is.

I don't agree with a lot of right-wing ideology but some of you guys can be straight up abusive and the reason that you do it is because you aren't thinking individually, it's because every other dumbass monkey in your environment is doing the same f****** thing.

Take note how the group of you acts when someone is banned or if someone has a point of view that runs incongruent with this forum?

It isn't everybody a lot of you are total sweethearts but there is a bad energy that comes from this place and the root of it is the need to know, arrogance, and the desire to teach others without learning.

This forum in this community do not stand with the light and they do not stand with truth and you can see it by the way people communicate.

Anyone who has any genuine connection with the light would intuitively know this.  I'll bet that most of you do but you're either too stupid weak or cowardly to say anything.

It's really unfortunate that communities evolve like this but it's to be expected I suppose.

Considering that most of you take on Leo's personality as a subset of your own all that really would need to change would be for Leo to work on those last remaining but glaringly obvious character traits that fortunately if you're not in a situation where you're leading other people it doesn't matter but if you are then yes it's your responsibility to fix it.

You engrained into people that weakness is wrong and bad.

They think that they should adopt your teaching strategy and you see people who have only gone halfway attempt to emulate your behavioral style and think that it will get them somewhere.

   I do agree slightly on some of the arrogant toning of posts when it comes to discussing values different from each user. I used to have anger issues, but thanks to actualized.org content and to some prior years of martial arts and to meditation practices I've curbed that issue quite well. My emotional understanding and mastery has also improved after doing mindfulness practices as well, and it's just not a good look when some users here start misbehaving and don't triple check their word choices. I also think it's the perceived protection of the screen in front of you that might also factor into the more aggressive writing. Hopefully as time passes users will mellow out and be responsible for their posting.

You confuse the Absolute with the relative.
