So once again you are misunderstanding the topic. The above signifies they have personal values that mean they do not require their partner to share their belief system. So 'having the same belief system' is not a high value, or value at all.

@AION Much of your ideas lean toward red pill. But a discussion for another time. You do realize you value 'growing together' yes? And you would prioritize a partner that also has that value? Just an example of where you might be missing the broad nature of values alignment.

Again, as I said, that is a particular life stage you are at. I was there also - and it is necessary to learn what you value. This is also why I raised it might be difficult to understand given the fact I have a lot more experience within relationships. I am almost 40. I spoke about having and knowing values - not about what they were. So you don't know my standands and if they are high or not. This is your assumption and what you are looking for. Cognitive bias - and you have this because it feeds your red pill ideology that women's standards are too high. But you know nothing regarding my standards Feelings always come into it. Haven't you heard the phrase 'Sometimes love is not enough?'

And being attracted or finding older women attractive may not even happen - one of my exes is in his 60s and he has never been attracted to older women. He was always going for 30-40 year old age range. And then some dudes report they aren't attracted to younger people because they seem like 'pups', and they have always been attracted to women in their age range as they have aged up. But the fact you are an extravert is a huge benefit. You will run into someone

No one is suggesting you tell someone else what they should value - and I think this is a mistake. It is all about being conscious of your values and having good clarity around self awareness. As you get older and more mature, and you know what you want, you naturally become less accommodating to tolerating a value misalignment that is a non-negotiable. There are always many, many people who will have values crossover. This advice might sound unfeeling to less mature people who are at younger life stages. But it is not. It is honest. And about not wasting someone's time. Having the maturity in wanting to build a long term future with a partner, rather than a feeling laden fling. Relationships always entail sacrifice - but when values align a lot of the little things matter less and love can bloom in a healthy, mature way. You willingly sacrifice, surrender. The bond is stronger and deeper because it is built on the integrity of honesty. Keeping that honesty is integral as what we value changes as you pass through different life stages.

I think Bernardo really attempted to make it clear science is not incompatible with his view. And he spent a bit of time on it. But then he states 'everything is mind' and I do not recall him actually going in depth into what he means there. That would confuse the fuck out of viewers, and cause materialists to dry retch. So, you end up with a cesspool of tik tok philosophers who think they can even touch on the topic at a surface level. There is a serious lack of thought with the comments. Half of them stand on the wonky stilts with arguments containing more holes that swiss cheese I expected Alex to push back a bit more. I actually got the vibe this was an appeal to normies.

Honestly, I do not know... maybe it's just a change of address? I am looking forward to the experience of it. I do not fear it. I fear the dying process (pain etc), but not death. Fear of pain is something I cannot shake.

Ha ha ha! Didn't even get past the preliminaries to the contract stage

It is very useful to be aware of what you will compromise on - and what you will not. I have found in the past some of my values I am willing to be slightly looser with, if the guy is a sweet match. I sort my values into: absolute non-negotiable - willing to accommodate/compromise - no preference. Sometimes you just don't know until you are presented with a value clash. Which is why it is essential to know yourself & what you want prior to a serious, committed, relationship. This also ties back to being just... high consciousness. Values can also change, but typically your top values remain static.

Yep 😊 Tbh the only reason soccer and rugby are differentiated here is due to AFL - it uses the same ball shape as rugby but a different game entirely. I wouldn't expect anyone but locals to be into it

No rugby is rugby. Soccer is soccer. Football is football. THE ISNESS it b real. But in all seriousness in Australia, football is its own seperate thing to soccer and rugby.

AFL bro. Look it up for education 😈

Goddamn, I couldnt find a meme for this 🤪 - closest I could find (I am ashamed to say I participate in the vocal patterns of the species linked 💀)

False

Soccer is soccer. Football is something entirely different in Australia

My gosh, the comments section...

Did you feel bad (guilt/shame) for not controlling your temper? IE you reacted vs responded. Or was this: Meaning the barber internationally cut you? Or you intentionally insulted the barber IE chose to respond with aggression? The wording is referencing without context for me 🤪

That doesn't mean that damage isn't occurring internally. Most people feel crap after the huge crash from overeating refined sugar. The high blood sugar is dangerous for the body, so the pancreas dumps shitloads of insulin to remove the sugar from the blood. So energy is dramatically lowered - hence the crash. And typically, you eat again soon after due to this crash in an attempt to push the now low blood sugar back up. Do that too much and you give yourself metabolic damage. I think a balanced approach is more appropriate.

I could eat a lot of sugar in my daily intake and keep calories below my maintenance, and still have metabolic damage. There will be tooth decay, and the eventual degradation of insulin pathways due to the pancreas being overloaded to reduce blood sugar. There is a reason refined sugar (or even glucose) isn't an essential nutrient. Glucose is an essential SUBSTANCE for life, but not nutrient. The body can convert other types of energy into the glucose it needs. In addition, excessive insulin in the blood from higher refined sugar intake will increase fat storage in general. That's exactly what insuline does - moves sugar in the blood to fat stores. It is very easy to have too much. Way too easy. I think it is safer to say some refined sugar in the diet is okay in balance - but it is one of the easiest ways to brick your system. It's just not needed for humans. Even a medium/high percentage of refined sugar in the diet while remaining within caloric needs will erode insuline pathways. Poison in the dose.

Oh sweet, appreciate the share!

Do you think the possibility exists he is just extremely private regarding his inner landscapes of feeling and emotion? So, because there is so little to go off, we are unable to clearly get an idea of how he personally feels and perceives within the scope of connection with a woman. I feel Leo has always compartmentalized this aspect of himself - strategically - as very personal emotions/feelings can be used as leverage by trolls to hurt. Being a public figure is brutal as you would have to grow a fucken thick skin and steadfast confidence in the face of extensive criticism and doubt. I might be projecting though Based mainly on my own tendencies. I am very open and transparent - but when it comes to my emotional connections and romantic partners I have always been very walled off to others. These aspects are my own private inner world I have zero need to share. In addition - I have never felt any hatred or slight from Leo based on my sex. On the contrary - when I have pointed out some sexism in his words he has always been gracious about correcting if the pushback is based on sound reason. My caveat being that I do not identify with all aspects of being a women which can mean I miss some sexism. But this is mainly because I have never felt my gender held me back in any way I believe the messes Leo always gets himself into are when he uses generalities applying to the sexes too liberally. And this isn't isolated to women - I have seen him do this with males also. Much to the chagrin of users on the forum.

No, it's not proof

No worries - it was an idea to represent how the two processes, meditation + contemplation tend to work together towards realisation. Nothing to do with Buddhism. Maybe there is some association there for you 🙂

Oh, strange. I have never said Buddhism is needed to awaken?
