  1. NO LEO!!!!! YOU CANT JUST GO AROUND CALLING EVERYTHING LOVE!!!!!
  2. Its still inside your subjective experience. Depends on what frame you want to start from also.
  3. Subjectivity and objectivity are two sides of the same coin. Everything is subjective so true objectivity is just your own subjective experience.
  4. He touched himself once in a sensory deprivation tank. That doesnt count.
  5. "The whale represent chaos. Now you might say Ahab venturing into the ocean is the unknown,its uncharted territory. So when he faces the whale hes actually facing his own subconscious."
  6. You should draw what you see in your meditations. Keep a journal so you can link all the visions together one day.
  7. Have core belief>Aim to change core belief A to core belief B>Do research and test theory's about core belief B>Everything points back at core belief A being true. Then what?
  8. What is a good way to check if you are bias about something? The problem I see is that generally a bias is forged by "perceived facts" which are very slippery. Also can a self known false bias be healthy if it helps you progress though life like "heard mentality"?
  9. In this case wouldn't new biases emerge? Granted more positive and knowledgeable ones. Or would it become a preference?
  10. Gratitude to Leo although deep down we all know Carthage was at fault
  11. Jordan B Peterson with the classic dopaminergic lobster hierarchy? Or Leo with the nuanced shedding carapace of growth analogy?
  12. There is no reason why we can not move beyond base instincts. We have consistently reinvented our self's over generations. There's no good reason why we cant strive for mass equality. You can keep holding on to that arrogant belief it will only serve to your inevitable self destruction. You couldn't be more wrong. This is the heroes journey in a nutshell. Your failing to see that the shell is like beliefs. When you push into uncharted territory its dangerous and painful but that is where the learning comes. Strength through vulnerability.
  13. Still the facts remain and you cant just be willfully ignorant of them. We live in a brutal society and hierarchy's will always manifest. You can be all about peace and love but you better integrate you shadow and fast or your gonna get stomped out of existence. The problem here is the idea is way to rigged. It would be silly to believe you can somehow reforge yourself and never drop back to a previous state.
  14. While Peterson's theory is backed by a lot of evidence it can be used in a shellfish way. I believe that some will adopt this belief as a means to justify aggressive behavior. The utility in Leo's idea lies in that if you push though difficulty you will be rewarded for that. During the soft shell phase is where you might encounter back lash and fear. Almost reminds me of the scaffolding metaphor.
  15. You could sample his teachings and adopt what works for you. What works for you? Ask yourself and feel it out dont rationalize. Also there will be things you know you need to do that will be uncomfortable but remember thats where the growth comes.
  16. unironically no fap and clean eating. I know Its cliche as hell but it will work. Just give it a few weeks.
  17. I am referencing the Moth man here cause It draws a good parallel to this question. Was wondering about the idea of an entity shattering your psyche. Something so advanced that just coming in contact with it mental breaks you. What if you were meditating one day and you did cross a boundary into another world with other malevolent beings? Has anyone encountered or have heard accounts of this?
  18. In the sense that Im an outcast to society yes. I also feel like there is one thing left for me to do to balance the scales.
  19. A bunch of women in skin tight pants bending around? Do not go to a class. Your trying to reduce sexual desires. Are you doing nofap? At the very least you need to cut out pornography to have any hope at all.
  20. I once again want to hear the roar of the crowd. Rising up like a thunder and In that moment die a glorious death. Also Im lazy and life is counter intuitively easier once you get rolling.
