DAMNNN IT! I'm late, where do I sign up? 

@Leo Gura You've been talking about this conscious relationships vid for a while now, I think we would all benefit from it, plus solving the romantic side would free us time to do more PD work.. 

I have a question for you: Nowadays I mostly watch your content and Matt Kahn's, I feel like Matt Kahn is the heart and you are the mind, to love you don't need to understand and sometimes I question myself if I should take one approach or the other, since being in my feminine seems to be much easier than understanding all the complexities of the mind, do you think at some point you will be more heart centered as you approach enlightment or your style will still be very rational?

Hey @MsNobody, Leo may of bailed out but ill throw my second cheapest glass of champagne on the menu please glass up!

More info can be supplied upon request!

As a man reading Leo’s blog post, the bit I was intrigued by was when he said something about a ‘persona’ and he was different in real life. 

I do wonder how different Leo would be in real life to what I imagine 

he could be a ‘persona’ to get the best out of people 

there was a coach I really looked up to once, and when met in real life he was totally different. I guess some coaches have a ‘persona’ that works..

but the truth is we probably have no Idea what they are like in real life

@Thetruthseeker  he’s secretly a lizard person in real life!

You're a good guy, Leo. Thanks for putting the work first. It takes balls to put up a post like that and it takes balls to take it down. Your work has covered really important parts of spirituality and subjects bridging to it that no one else had the courage to take on before. I for one needed the bridge. I have incredible appreciation and gratitude for you. I really hope that life, love, companionship and your work integrate seamlessly for you.

@mandyjw did he take it down? 

And what reasons did he give for taking it down. Just curious. 

It's interfering with his goals and work, giving haters ammunition

Consider this: the only reason you guys follow me is because it gives you survival value. As soon as my ability to give you value disappears, you will leave me or hate me. Yet in your minds you don't think of it that way. In your minds you think you really appreciate me for who I am. Of course this is pure fantasy. You don't really care who I am. If I was Hitler, you would want me killed. Such is life. Accept it and move on.

Even though it's true that everything is ultimately survival game, I think going through life thinking people don't appreciate you for you and that everyone is ultimately doing things for their survival benefits and selfish reasons is unhealthy way to look at things. It makes you feel sad and depressed if you go about life thinking like that.

It means even when someone in the streets is hurt physically for example, people come up to the person because they have something to gain? Isn't it possible that some people deeply care about well being of others and that's it?

I would maybe look at life like it's a game where we need to learn the rules so we can play it efficiently. Take nothing personally.

It will be a delicate balancing act. I'm not making these changes to attract more viewers, but to give the work a higher caliber image for existing and future viewers. In the past I didn't think the image of the work mattered so much, but now I realize that casual attitude cannot hold up in the future as we grow. It needs to feel more professional.

I think I can tone it down without losing the directness, honesty, and in-your-faceness. I want to be direct without being offensive or obnoxious, which I sometimes come off as. It will take me some practice to find the right balance. It should be subtle.

@Leo Gura I understand... I just hope you'll leave the existing videos as-is. From my biased perspective, the initial style was great because the in-your-face style and F-bombs are:

• what shook me up and prompted me to pay attention
• what made you relatable, because my own default communication style is also direct and into-people's-faces
• what made me trust you

For anyone that may be insisting too much on needing a partner I recommend this podcast by Bentinho about the fallacy of relationships:

 

I am enjoying what he says - there's something profoundly creepy about the worshipping way those women look at him, though

Bentinho is virtue signaling his status. If you also had a suit and cigar, girls will also look at you like that.  

My view on relationships is much similar to that of Bentinho. 

@Leo Gura Why do you feel the need to project your love into a single woman, when you know that Infinite Love is always greater than the finite one?

We all have a different persona depending with who we interact. My persona when I am holding my cat is different than when I am at my job. We have infinite personas'

Leo if you do not want to hurt your reputation on a bigger scale in the future, you might try to just tell one person about your idea. Or tell 10 people so that you have more feedback. Instead of posting something on the internet where thousands can see it. I know it would take more of your precious time, which I absolutely understand, but perhaps the reputation not lost would balance this out, although I am not sure if you value this highly. 

Basically I am trying to say that these lessons you have been learning recently can be learnt in an easier, less harmful way, if you only talk to people. I do not know how many people you socialize with regularly, online or offline, doesn't matter that much in this sense, but I imagine it can be hard to create content that you are satisfied with for an audience you only have online interaction with.

Naah man, once you evolve enough you would neither want leo nor hitler killed. Btw, appreciation for your being doesnt change because you dont provide value anymore, not all people act like monkeys

If anyone wants to voice their criticisms or whatever, have at it.

How many masturbation marathons did it take you before you realized this was a mistake?  Be honest ?

Anyway I am disappointed. You got my hopes up as I was expecting spiritual porno ??

Okay seriously don't ban me. I wish you good luck whatever you decide.

I had one dream about Leo.

He was a hippie with long hair and with glasses.

I don't know what to think of it

 

[meow_meow]

Dude, I'm not gay, but Leo has helped me so much that I'd feel obligated to share my anus with him if he would demand it.
