@integration journey was just going to post this. The damn thing is even if prices tripled it won’t affect his image. Though I want to see how people who cry about “The real faciast democrats!” and who complain about inflation feel if this takes effect.

@Scholar @zurew I dont understand how he would endorse Trump other than he’s just trying to be/look anti-woke. Is not stupid that people like Lex, Russell brand, Joe rogan would be so bothered by the left that they’d go for the clearly insane alternative?

@Spiral Wizard I’ve always considered my self orange-green when I get asked where do you place yourself on SD, even though I understand Yellow and keep seeing more and more of it. However the problem I think with how you put it is that most people don’t have the luxury to go full green - it’s literally just the last phase I need to be in to fully be at green. One teacher that I really trust mentioned that Jean Gebser- one of the first to create a developmental map before SD and Ken Wilber’s integral framework- thought that It’s possible for people to skip levels, much like a kinesthetically talented child might skip stages in learning to walk. This doesn’t mean they didn’t learn; they just progress so naturally that it seems as if they bypassed earlier stages. I think It’s problematic to say you gotta go all they way or now way.

@Leo Gura I wrote this yesterday I was spot on > ok I see so you think of approaching as if it it’s golf or learning to draw or skate, which means you are thinking about it with detachment. I think it could be that I don’t look at it objectively like that, it’s isn’t like “screw it I’ll fall of the skateboard a 1000 times before I can do a double flip” I get lost in thinking there is much at stake which doesn’t make it fun. so how do you get into that mindset? This is not talked about explicitly and this is actually much needed to make pick up work. which is why I feel a disconnect when I hear about approaching 2000 women. Drawing is very fun for me, I can draw a 1000 not so good sketches and not even feel anything about it. So the question is How do I make the jump form that to pick up?

Leo has not budged on this, the numbers he give is not normal in my reality. Idk if I have even met a 1000 women in my life, and I’ve worked with many women.

it wasn’t a short memory cramming. It lasted something like 5 months and it was the finals so I had already studied the material before. It was just forceful, I glued my head to books, I didn’t know any better. This can happen in the gym or when when learning anything, learning properly with some theory is what works. Thats why I asked How can I apply this to game ? Like what different things I can do ?

what does that look like? I was going to ask when does spewing words in-front of random girls start paying dividends ? I guess it’s exposure, and it’s important, but I learned a lesson form a time in my life where I locked myself with textbooks to get a better grade in a major exam. Didn’t do better than others who studied normally. I just forced it and it wasn’t the best approach. This sounds familiar somehow, I only learned better studying techniques later where I could have used them and got great results. I hope this can be applied to game.

I’ll check it out. I don’t necessarily get hurt for being rejected, it’s more the emotional exhaustion of rambling words and then having to do this with another 9 women just to warm up. it’s like carrying a camera and filming yourself in public, Idk some people can do it, I just don’t know how they turn off the “I give a shit about people around me” circuit in the brain.

I’m generally very good at talking to women and joking, but I that’s when I warm up to a conversation. You sometimes say something like approach 10 girls as warm up. I don’t know if you are built different or just skilled. But these numbers for me show that you have an extreme emotional stability to handled 10 failed approches in one night. The few times I’ve cold approached was hell and very awkward, they were in the day. Yes now when I look at these approches I feel good, but I feel like if I’d approche now it’s still like starting from zero. For example Didn’t get better at coming up with a good line fast or reduced the anxiety of approaching , Is that just how it normally is? You’re the main source I use for dating advice, as I can at least be confident that you are not scamming us and are giving high quality advice, so I honestly want to ask you this not joking or complaining, and honestly looking to get better.

Since Leo’s videos worked for you, I want to ask you this, how did you learn to deal with the fear of a bad encounter or embarrassing yourself? That’s the biggest issue I have, I normally can get positive reaction from women in general, but cold approach is so in the face that I have no idea how it comes off to women, which makes me nervous. Also what are the best places to cold approach? (I assume that you live in the US)

@Leo Gura can it be used to reprogram brian washing or early society or parental programming?

@Husseinisdoingfine good share!

This is a very interesting take. So it’s not that Trump lies, bullshits and play on people’s weak spots to get approval? It’s also being an egotist is what makes someone endorse Trump? I’ve got many family members which I can call egotistical in their lives, but I’ve assumed that they got on the Trump case because he lies about things that tickles their emotions.

@Michael569 when I reflect on what you say, I think I would love to elevate people taste in design, rase their standers so that they demand good graphic design in their “world”. Meaning I want to make good graphic designs that people enjoy. But I want to draw it’s very important for me, which is where the dilemma is.

I'm having this challenge with my LP work; it's in two parts: 1. The ideal medium: when I'm thinking about the ideal medium for me, I find that I love both designing and drawing, but I'm not sure how to pick between them or if I can or should. 2. Impact statement: When I was contemplating my zone of genius, I found that it’s turning imagination and ideas into reality—in effect, communicating feelings, thoughts, and visions. The wording is still not exact, but it can be "into reality" or "into physical reality that can be seen by others," basically creating art from my imagination. However, the zone of impact is larger for me. While doing the exercises, I got a mix of answers: the millions-dollar exercise led me to design and make art, while the speech and life challenge ones led me to guide people to psychedelics. I feel like guiding people to psychedelics through my art and designs is something that I find meaningful. I would love to make art that communicates to people how life-changing psychedelics can be. I also feel passionate about making designs for packages and ads that can be placed in public or at someone’s home or kitchen counter, adding beauty to their lives. Both are legitimate ambitions of mine; I really don’t know which one to go for, but in general, if I use the process of exclusion and thinking in the long term, it feels a bit too constraining to make it my specialty to ONLY make drawings and designs to point people to psychedelics; it seems like a much further goal down the line, while general designs to make people amazed by good art are more expansive, especially if my work is going to be for companies that have a positive impact on people. A big part of what I like about my art is inspiring people by communicating to them emotions and ideas, as well as adding beauty to their lives. I'm not sure how to sum all this up in one impact statement; could the above be my impact statement for now? or is it too vague or not focused?

@Thought Art how is it different from Mastery by George Leonard?

Bumping this thread up: still can't decide between making art and graphic design. Creating good graphic designs requires drawing and I love both. also I can't get clear on the exact impact I would like to have. I squeezed my head, and found out that guiding people to psychedelics was not so important to me as a life mission, I just know that it's adding beauty and art to people's lives. Turning my imagination to reality, creating the beautiful package designs that add beauty and delight to people's environments/lives (Kitchen counter tops, rooms, houses etc) Edit: Do I need to specify the exact medium in my LP statement? Can I leave package designs, and replace that with "Art" or will that make it too vague ?

The Family itself is 22.99 USD, and I think you can split it up to 5 people. There’s also students discount.

I have it and it's good, you can get a family discount if that fits your life

The one about Trump is very straight forward. Like I said maybe I should have made a thread to talk about this since OP’s topic here is about Trump. what I meant was when you sometimes share a post but you dont put too much stocks on it yet people assume that you do, or with the Joseph Campbell one which kind of trippy to me lol. I guess my question is if you understood your audience mind better, would you possibly lower the caliber, or do you prefer to speak form your preferred level of sharing things?

It was maybe an insight I had in the morning and had to communicate it right away, but after thinking about it, I was wrong I think you do acknowledge a lot lof times that there might be a gap in what you are sharing and how people shouldn’t get it, it just made me think of other post where sometimes I get the feeling that what you share and how people get it could be completely different which is trippy to some.

I’m trying to have a conversation not necessarily criticize him, I even thought of an example that illustrates my point that could be applicable. for all we know he does not understand all the ways in which the gap exist and where it happens as much as he says so, and any good attempt to point out that to him in a good way would help build the bridge between his work and people making his mission further reaching.

@Miguel1 a large precent of Americans think like third country people while being blessed with a first country economy and geographic resources, it's insane if you ever traveled here, there's also lots of stage orange selfish success types that don't even understand that Trump could be a Hitler type leader, it just doesn't register that a TV type person can be like that. They also wanna vote for the "stronger" candidate not the weak democrat. The US is a sham that you would not believe, but it's also a HUGE country, unlike the small countries of Europe, so expect all types of crazy things here. I've spoken to European trying to explain this to them and some just cannot believe it. It's like they believe the US can be bad but in their mind they have a model of a functional country like their own. Once I try to explain some of the crazy stuff they think I'm trying to fool them or kidding and start dismissing me.

@Leo Gura I have a meta-idea about your post that I want to share or speak to you about. When you are sharing this post, I get the sense that you are offering a perspective and not fear mongering in your mind. I wonder if I’m right that this is how you preserve it? What I’m saying, or maybe intuiting, is that there is a big gap between your way of thinking and dealing with what you share with us and our way of "getting" it. I suspect the regular followers of your teachings do not get it/grasp it in the same way you meant them to. I don’t know if you are so far from us and our way of thinking to this degree, but I thought I would bring it up for discussion. My main idea is that you were not fear mongering with this post, for example, but I suspect that a large percent of people either took it that way or did not appreciate the pure drop of information. I wonder if you were as "normal" like a lot of us or had had the type of everyday life that a lot of us call regular, then you would have been able to deliver all (not just this post) in a way that we get. I just want to point out to you that this happens with a lot of your posts. I don't know if you are aware that people can't grasp the idea, like, “Hey, here’s just an idea,” without attaching something to it. I wonder if you work on this or try to lower effectively the level of open-mindedness to meet some of us where we are for more effective communication. Maybe this should have been a thread on it’s own lol.

Seems like very good work.
