I think these perspectives are essential! I love gathering all perspectives and viewpoints on topics - it is sort of my default way of thinking As in man, women etc? I identify as a women. I am quite feminine and present and conduct myself differently in real life compared to how I seem on the forums. I am much more cerebral and heavy on the intellectual side here, but intensely expressive, emotive and creative in real life. In terms of relationship dynamics I definitely benefit more from a man remaining in the leadership position so I can sit in my emotions (and I am actually... a hopeless romantic underneath it all!). I like to assist others in their mission when I find someone who is passionate and driven with good values. I can switch polarities very easily though. I learned this working in construction. Having said that - if a man is out of line or I straight disagree I will not be a doormat. I do not withhold truth because I am afraid to upset someone, and I do not people please. I know exactly when to hold a firm boundary because I know myself very well. Much better than when I was younger

I like her insights - although she is very very nonlinear thinker. It can be difficult to follow her without a good host to assist with some mild steering Many of my female friends dislike some of her work, claiming she is reductionistic, overgeneralizes and can accidently reinforce outdated gender roles. While I can see their points - I think she is just more honest and truthful and they do not like to hear it!! I think some gender roles are natural to us, and many women suffer from trying to fit into a modern ideal of a 'woman' rather than what is true to their nature. Many modern women simply dismiss traditional masculinity without really looking into it or trying to understand it. I first encountered her on Andre Duqum's channel:

Everything in construction. I see the most creative ways to cut corners to make handover dates and reduce costs. Beware all you guys if you ever buy or build your own places.... The insane shit I see when we demo or what trades do would blow your minds.

The intergalactic harpy is hard at work, finding new and creative ways to subvert the rules 😈

Holy SHIT Ultimate clickbait 🫠 But there is seriously something wrong with permissions if this feature isn't supposed to be there. My spaghetti-tossing philosopher had his time RIP

The longer you put it off - the more $$$ it will be. Just like teeth.

First I've heard about this - happy to surgery mine away

Quite distasteful.

There is what we SAY or THINK we will be attracted to - and what we ARE attracted to And many do not welcome the growth and expansion the types of higher consciousness relationships facilitate when they really taste it!

Indeed. And many think they want someone fully grounded and embodied - and when they are faced with it they run a mile. Horrified at all of their shit being seen through instantly and games called out. Cards all on the table. That is when others realise they want someone who will enable their current paradigm over being challenged to grow in any real fashion. I see this a lot when people say 'I want this, x y z quality and I am attracted to it' ...and then end up with someone (and being attracted to) something completely different.

Yep, they were great for consciousness work! I still use them. I experienced my first OBE using the tapes - which wasn't my intention.

Hahaha I can believe this - she often says humanity is in an abusive relationship with technology.

Cheers, thank you for that. >.> <.<

Anyone into this topic might also enjoy the crossover into Automatic Writing - which was also used and studied by the CIA. Writing without conscious thought or control. For myself, only useful when using the medium of pen and paper. Keyboard typing is too rapid and it scrambles the output (just for me, ymmv)

🎯 Negative, I am a meat popsicle >.<

There's a SHITLOAD more value and safety men provide to women than just fiscal / material safety.

Agree with this take.

Yes, but on the other side of this Leo does always say 'do not trust what I say, verify it all for yourself' Which is why I think many of his #blog posts are aimed at contemplation to prompt a realization of truth. Just throwing truth down and expecting it to be taken at face value is never worth as much as a true self-made realization. I for one do not find any external truth very impactful - only the truth I reveal for myself. Teachers such as Leo come into it when they prompt a line of enquiry that assists in leading you there.

I think some of her observations relating to modern society are unique - however you are correct. She learned a lot of her current teachings from others. Which is usually the case for modern spiritual teachers bar some outliers. I think her rather questionable 'completion process' is an innovation. I only question it as it is not recognised by any authorities and many people have had negative/mixed results. Well, yeah - of course It is just that many people need to unpack all their shit to see that love/fear dichotomy. And she can help some with that. Coupled onto this is basic survival which she weaves into her work.

Yep - instead of a bunch of 'action steps' and exterior focus she prompts people to examine their feelings stemming from beliefs. Tracing things back to root experiences from childhood, false conclusions that lock us in shame. Looking into what we are rejecting on the outside to realise that is actually what we have in our shadows, unclaimed inside us. Her masculine/feminine polarity stuff is accurate. I like how she really emphasises women's need for safety and security. Safety is a big one, many men never even think on this and how it means to operate from that mode. I feel she is very on point when she raises modern women do not show men how they provide her VALUE. How to appreciate men for this. How to show it. And to make ROOM for men in their lives. Women cannot keep blaming men for strength/power and 'misusing it' while simultaneously wanting to shelter under the safety of said power. Modern women and 'feminism' often do not realise how they emasculate men by telling them 'you are not needed or required and what you provide isn't good enough' and she goes into this. So important for women to show gratitude and make space for men to provide. And masculine containment often leads to the surrender to happiness and joy in women that delights men, for they provide this. Just some of her messages I think are of value and missing in mainstream society.

I see Leo as going in to extract/discern the truth from her. And no personal value judgement. @UnbornTao are you claiming that she should be disregarded due to telling people what to believe, regardless of the truth of it? I think we are mainly speaking about her personal development advice, yes? You guys could be talking about different aspects of her work and it is just not made clear yet ☺️

@Bjorn K Holmstrom this is great advice 🙏

@Ramasta9 yes, birds seem to be drawn to me. I often get followed and approached - some more shots from my morning hikes (every morning, crack of dawn, 2hr hike before a day inside the horrid office): Ravens are funny messengers. The single eye stares.

Not super high quality but very Australian - Kookaburra on the hike to the office during my morning routine 😊
