However, you will find, that getting back to the 'not knowing' state is virtually impossible. Your survival methods are like a reflex you cannot control. Like your heart beating.

This is describing infancy - 'not knowing' >>> Growing to adult - 'knowing'. As elements of existence come into awareness, we form beliefs and understanding so we can learn to survive. What works for us. Belief, and thinking you understand, lead to no further questions being asked. This can blind you to the real truth, as these beliefs you form as a result of survival serve to function as a method for survival. Thinking you know, means you won't look into what you believe - you filter out the truth - hence the 'computer interface' of belief.

Perhaps you engaged in this long format contemplation with the users here to lead you to this book. Because I have just finished it. It has many of the answers you are seeking - I highly recommend it

Nah. You're just plain wrong with your statement. Here, I changed your statement to remove the errors. No healthy individual takes pleasure in rejecting others. You are projecting the pain of rejection onto the person just expressing their bias. Which they are entitled to.

@Joshe +1 Over intellectualising kills chemistry, connection and clarity in the moment. Wise advice

This was a phase I went through 10 or so years back. I don't have much advice, but I was severe on myself 😈 I confined myself to a room, no phone. No music. Nothing to distract but me and the book. The trick is being fantastic at deceiving yourself! I convinced myself outside that room was a radioactive wasteland. If I went out - instant rip. It was some strange method of forced focus. I got so good at pretending, it also had a strange fallout effect of enhancing my ability to identify delusions. Especially romantic ones, I fall prey to those little fantasies 😬 It took 3 months of that nonsense behaviour to make my brain crave the linear process of a book.

I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING WHAT THE FUCK IS EVEN GOING ON HERE 🤣

Draw some stick figure illustrations on flash cards and hold them up, analogue creativity 😏 I'm picturing busted positions that would result in broken arms in real life, and you snickering in the background

100%

You've got some telepathic feed into the smut of the forum 😅 direct tap-in lol

I think this video from Teal Swan encapsulates this idea very well. I think if a man can supply 'containment' as she coins it, it's a good foundation for exploring sex that can surpass just penis in vagina:

Stinks of virtue signaling - if you were serious with your accusation and not looking to simply slander and undermine @Princess Arabia, you would have simply PM'd the mods. Or Leo. But you chose to publicly announce this. Your intent was to discredit her and damage her reputationally with this statement. I do not know the full extent of what Preety India did, but I suggest conducting yourself with more respect if you suspect someone as her. @Princess Arabia There is a lot of projection on this forum toward strong, self-assured women. I have been accused of being Preety India, also. If you don't package what you are saying in a nice little bow covered wrapping, users get bent out of shape. Expecting agreeableness from women. I speak up to back you as I think this is a problem.

I know (⁠o⁠´⁠･⁠_⁠･⁠)⁠っ I wanted to transcend suffering for years. It never worked. Only lead me to want to an hero. It got better for me

Could be resistance acts to enhance the suffering. Surrender was a big one for me to learn.

I have found this to be very true in my experience. Show a man that he can remove the stress of a hard workday by jumping into pure emotion in the moment. Always found positive engagement to follow. It did always feel like men engaged with their own emotions through my own flamboyant expression (I am very expressive facially and I talk with my hands and body). Having said that, it doesn't work if one has predominantly negative emotions. But if i can bring real raw emotive communication to the bedroom it creates a thunderous experience 😁 Words don't seem as powerful in this setting, but the best sex I have had is when raw emotion was the communication between me and the man. Words were only useful when I was cracking a joke, and laughing in the moment is damn bliss ! I think a lot of it comes down to subconsciously communicating to the man 'you make me feel safe enough to engage in the moment, fully. You hold space for me' Reinforcing he is providing as best he can and is powerful for her presence.

No one buys this. Derisive sarcasm is your weapon of choice. Loving responses mean everything. It's how you should be approaching others. Not sure how this is lost on you. You aren't keeping it real. You are being contemptuous of OP. And you are wrong. Others here do care, and are assisting with advice.

Damn, OP was super vulnerable. Not a loving response

@OBEler This is quite beautiful, and I hope it was beneficial for her. Do you think it resulted in a more balanced approach, or has she been acclimating to this new realisation? I recall being very destabilized. I have had enlightenment experiences and integration through the masculine path. Prior to developing the feminine. It was quite inversed for me I have been present at the feminine birthing process many times. I bring this up as there is experience there that is quite additive to the embodiment of love. A strong teaching experience that we only fail when we don't love enough. I new state and experience - body - for God to inhabit, is brought forth. Infinite Love is there, in that moment. This feminine axis relies on integrating a state of being by immersing in pure feeling, experience, emotion. Love. The masculine required a lot of understanding to integrate. A heady, disembodied feeling. The feminine relies less on cerebral energy. Keen to hear what your girlfriends thoughts are

I am with you there. I am on this forum, a follower, due to always being hinged toward a masculine approach. I have followed Leo since his initial videos, I just chose to lurk and immerse myself in process for many years. It is in the latter portion of my spiritual path that I have delved into the feminine approach. Having more experience of both, I find much more peace overwhelming me. I am able to love others even in conflict. And while I cannot always do this (especially when charged up in emotion myself!) I am closer to this experience on a daily basis.

Hello Leo, Do you feel qualified to speak for the feminine path, when you are, in this current form, a predominantly masculine entity? I am sure you consider that the masculine frame with which you see reality could be blind to other nuances. I myself in this life ended up with a feminine body and disposition. But I am quite balanced. I do not have very much attachment to my sex. I take less offense as a result. Having said that, you must admit you have no experience of the feminine path to enlightenment. Your expertise is in the masculine, no? Women grow, carry and give birth to life. They bring forth consciousness in a new form to experience. This is creativity. Their bodies sacrifice, just as men sacrifice for truth. Our greatest flaws are that we don't love hard enough. I raise that you will never know the love of birth and growth within. Can you argue this is not truth? Birth? Is it just survival? It is bringing forth new consciousness. A new piece of the infinity of God. I put forth there is truth there. Truth only found through the totality of being. Birth. Creation. Art.

Because men deeply fear women. Deeply fear their own motivation and drive toward them. Fear loss of control

This debate has sparked a bit of conversation around Peterson's statement on belief. 'To believe something is to be willing to die for it.' - Jordan Peterson (I may be paraphrasing) Interesting breakdown. Belief to me, is synonymous with deception. Belief is just more of an additive word, whereas deception is subtractive. But similar outcomes. Ties back well - this reality can only exist due to our (God's) ability to deceive ourselves (Itself) - or our belief that this reality exists.

Raises an interesting question - is a model/frame useless if it has merit but is misused? You could argue this wrt some of Leos work. Outcome vs intent

My brain is slightly scrambled logically with this topic due to having some experiences. So feel free to pull me up, I try to contain it to this thread

Yes it flirts with that for sure, but Leo is good at swatting the conspiracy out of me (don't hurt me plz, I'll be good). Do you mean to this: All over it boss, already listened while walking the dog 😈
