Interesting, I never came across this video/post. @Leo Gura physically transforming your own energetic matter or altering the perception of those around you? Including camera technology. Levitation, yes possible. The matrix we are within places artificial limits on perception, artificial division Don't want to go into this too much, just in case I'm flirting with the ban hammer

Know the potential depth of consciousness explored through the romantic bond with another. But if you are asking me personally? And not simply rhetorically? I can explore my own consciousness and truth only so far. It takes another to show you the truth of yourself - if you present with honesty. Imagine exploring your own consciousness, your partners consciousness AND the consciousness your bond creates ^ this is it, for me personally

You think you can know something without direct experience?

It's still a smaller pool regardless of history

It's still a smaller pool regardless of history

The pool of potential marriage mates is depressingly small if higher consciousness is a must. Simply not going to happen by accident without some intentionality behind the endeavor I'd imagine, also, one would need to have a strong desire to achieve a new realization through friction with another. Else the horror of being known wouldn't be worth it

Gotta define timescale here - I think 'back in the day' isn't precise enough 20 years ago was 2005, so these changes must be very recent ? Social media? Keeping up with the Jones's gone turbo mode? Too many options, paralyzed to choose

Contraception

I can only imagine how much this would be used as an avenue for abuse. You would never know your partner was verbally abusing the SHIT out of a severed part of you... Eek

It would alter the experience for both parties Depends on your aversion to experiencing negative shit I don't think most are open enough to incorporate trash into their sexual experiences lol

Would having sex blindfolded solve half these issues of novelty and variety? You can orgasm through meditation with another person. Master your ability to shift state. This is a deep connection. Deep connection to porn and pickup? In my opinion, you cannot have a deep connection to porn or pickup (if we are defining pickup as using another's body to masturbate) Half these responses read to me like users either 1) haven't experienced a deep connection with another person 2) have deep attachment based trauma they are totally unaware of and 3) haven't reached the age where you can comprehend just how deeply you need others

Read the thread again and put it in context. I'm not debating things based on larger dynamic. Users have attempted to answer the OPs question, Leo pops in, clearly having issue with the answers, derails with his version of a litmus test. Instead of addressing why he thinks advice is incorrect, he simply diverts to his own semantic argument he wants to attempt to win. In this context not supplying feedback is just to maintain seperation between him and the users. Seperation = ego Ego = contraction. Which is the exact opposite of the OPs topic: how to maintain spiritual practice while enduring the suffering of life. It's possible for many others to have the skill to reconcile the work with life. Leo appears to not have reached this point as he still claims negativity from spiritual work (or at least it's implied).

No. Nothing to do with negative / positive packaging. Nothing to do with feminine / masculine. Forget I am a woman, don't assume anything about my preferences Basic feedback. How can you grow if you have no idea you are a potato? Where did you get the idea - I - need affirmation? I didn't say anything about conveying the answer in rainbows and butterflies. An answer is necessary to teaching, especially when the question implies there is one, and it's some sort of shittest. Or at least correction/guidance in lieu of an answer

Hard disagree. If there was some use in this mental masturbation, a genuine push for insight would be the goal. How tf will anyone learn or grow with no answer. Leo has some great things to say. His ego just sometimes takes hold of him completely & he runs with it. One should always seriously reflect on what they are trying to communicate.

Pretty much agree. You just know it's a challenge to Leo's ego. So this question is a trap to lure one into semantics and rehetoric.

Here's my Cockroach Omelet for you, spinning 666rpm like a cowpat Frisbee to smack your auditory sensors up some:

The glass ceiling followers of Leo are finding, is the difficulty of reconciling spirituality/spiritual work with the mundane, low energy matter of day-to-day existence. Anything that puts you in a state of non-expansion is disconnected from God consciousness. This is usually ego relation. Division. Ego is a state of contraction. You will find yourself dancing between these states; consider it your job to find a balance between the two. True spiritual work and God consciousness IS NEVER NEGATIVE. If you feel a negative emotion, or contraction, you have further self-exploration to do. This is why we exist, to experience friction through experience. This teaches you about yourself. This is exploring the self. This is God, learning about itself, in this matter/energy existence. You can't escape suffering, just like you can't escape joy. You can pursue this work while also fulfilling your day-to-day experience. But you MUST be ready to do so. For many this work is pursued too early in the desperate cry for meaning in their lives. This is why most teachers want you to look within and won't give you answers. This is why Leo holds back on many things

Hello integral, I am sorry to hear of these issues. I am curious, as your most acute effects seem to be related to kidneys: do you follow a low oxalate diet? I recently began such a diet. The beneficial effects have been so profound, I haven't come across anyone who has reported the positive mental effects. I ask as a low oxalate diet is commonly prescribed to those with kidney issues, or impaired kidney function. I too am extremely sensitive to air pollutants. Your experiences echo several of my own

Hahaha ngl there would be some serious trepidation on my behalf over the texture If you were also willing to try said theoretical omelet, to facilitate discussion over the sensory experience, well then... For science !

A video on artistic taste, vision would suite your long format Leo. I am surprised you haven't yet touched on this, but it could be a topic of lesser interest. It is a simple subject that encompasses an array of sensory topics. Back to the music topic: I find the exploration of unknown sounds causes an internal friction for my being that reveals more about myself. You could substitute sound with any other topic in the above sentence. I feel it is through processes like the above, in friction, one learns more about themselves and their own consciousness. For this reason, I am willing to sit with discomfort. I am much less discerning with allocating time as being 'wasted' if I learn I dislike something. It reads to me as if Leo dislikes if he has wasted time exploring. For myself, it is never wasted time if I discover something. As I grow older my taste, also, has grown more defined. My openness to experience has not narrowed. I think Leo simply chooses where to apply that openness - music not being one of them. Exploration of truth is perhaps his chosen avenue to apply openness.

The musical aspect of this discussion turn is fascinating to me. I utilise music/sound to alter my conscious state every day. I have visceral body reactions to even humming brown noise. I have my own likes in musical genres, but I find exploring and sitting with albums and genres I wouldn't normally listen to, extremely beneficial. Often I have to sit with a piece that is grating, but I can find gems that resonate in unexpected ways. Doing this has expanded my own consciousness. Do you challenge yourself with new genres outside your typical likes, Leo? To me, music is a tool that assist in delving into a state where realisations flood into me as if being downloaded

Very sorry to hear of your troubles with ED. Apologies if this is awkward as I am a woman, and could not possibly comprehend your issues myself. I wish to supply an anecdote: My brother experienced something very similar himself, after having contracted Covid. He also experienced ED following recovery. It showed up roughly 3 weeks after his main symptoms cleared. I believe it was early 2021 he contracted it, marking roughly 4 years since. He has not made a full recovery, however he no longer has issues getting an erection. I believe he now has residual issues maintaining hardness and reaching orgasm. 'I need to concentrate hard to keep an erection, and also to 'cross the line' 1) His lungs are totally cooked after Covid - medical records show 'lung capacity of 98 year old'. He has asthma now 2) He has had full blood panels a few times since, including thyroid + hormones. No issues - all levels including Test are in good range. 3) No other conditions, decent diet (he hasn't attempted to address it with diet, pisses me off). Sleeps well. Runs regularly with me. Weight trains. 4) He has been vaccinated twice with Pfizer Perhaps it could be a circulatory issue, as he has lung damage. No psychological issues. He works in construction with me. There's a chance he could have lung damage from particulate matter. However the lung issues / asthma did show up suddenly. His thyroid levels do move about, but this is genetic. I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (as well as my grandmother), so we watch for that. Hope this is of assistance ! <3

Key word from your quote is 'ridiculously' easy. I never said ignorant or innocent woman weren't easily abused. Ridiculously easy? - Implies some deeper approval seeking rooted in unstable sense of self. Typically, a strong, healthy, stable sense of self will lead to discernment of others behaviour. The grandiosity of your adjectives matches my edit. If you meant something else, perhaps more precise & accurate language should have been used. There isn't anything insulting about acknowledging someone's pain, man or woman. There is no judgement in the statement.

'A **damaged, unhealthy woman's love is ridiculously easy to abuse. It's like abusing a child.' Fixed that for you
