Examples of Masculine Compassion. This can be anything from quotes to videos...

Ignorance is bliss.

Is attraction simply liking/loving things about others that you yourself lack love in? Is attraction simply liking/loving things about others that you yourself don't embody or struggle to embody? What is attraction? Spiritually, what does it mean to be attracted to something? I'm not necessarily asking only for the definition, but also WHY the definition is defined as it is? What is the cause of any attraction, without regards to the bias of the one experiencing attraction?

Watched this video, I think it's important to note that when she's talking about making a woman feel safe, she's talking primarily mentally. Physical is less important in this regard. When she's talking about how all women are fundamentally in constant fear, this is mental. While physical stature can be important to some degree, that is only so; due to the mentality the woman holds about what is safe & what isn't. Each woman has her own level of fear, so building trust & creating mental safety will be completely different with every woman. The goal is to understand how you can better understand what she fears to better help her feel safe & truly loved.

What are some good examples of effective & clear communication? Communication that is direct, forward, yet nonchalant.. Thanks for any help

*This is not meant to demonize or offend Leo in any way* What are the biases to look out for when applying some of Leo's teachings to one's life? I think it'd be very helpful to depict the biases Leo holds within his teachings to better understand the root of his teachings. What are the personal biases shown throughout Leo's videos, if any? How do his biases affect his teachings? How do you determine the biases of a teacher? Whats the difference between a bias and a truth? You may say direct experience, but what if my direct experience is the determining of truth through someone else's bias? This is to say, is truth biased? How can truth not be biased? Thanks for any help

Are you asking if you're "allowed" to be liking this guy even if he's coming off abnormally social? Are you asking if you're allowed to have certain social boundaries? Or perhaps maybe you're asking how you can make your boundaries known to someone your interested in.. Whats normal is entirely subjective, so it all comes down to you. You make what's normal for you. I'm sure you know yourself in that regard. Whats normal is entirely dependent on the standards you place on yourself. My advice: If something isn't normal for you, try it out. Embrace it. Notice any insecurities or uncomfort that comes up & ask yourself why you feel that way. This will help you to adapt a good consensus of what your boundaries are & better help you understand why they are there, & if they need to change.

@Nahm Thank you

So I'm finding myself stuck in paralysis by analysis. I feel as though I need to be emotionally mature enough before I start initiating relationships of any kind. I feel it is dangerous to involve myself in any type of relationship deeply, as I'm still currently developing myself emotionally & spiritually. However, I do still have sexual needs & it becomes very frustrating to not have that need met. You may think that fwb & hookups would be the way to go, however I find it difficult to participate in that without some kind of emotional connection. Is there any tips to better enjoy the hookup/fwb process? It seems as though it is a necessary step in developing one's sexual experience, stature, & well-being. Is it a necessary step for sexual maturity? Why is it a necessary step? It seems patience is the way to go, as well as learning how to better emotionally connect with people, but some practical tips on how to do these would be much appreciated What would you advise? What are your thoughts? How do you personally go about this issue? Thank you for any help

I have all the knowledge, but the experience is lacking more & more heavily with each day. What can I do to force myself to start something & form a habit? Or rather, how can I convince my subconscious that I'm comfortable with starting something? How can I trick myself into starting something that I currently subconsciously fear doing?

@kinesin So many honestly. A great one would be meditation. Another one shadow work. Another, putting myself in social situations to better my social skills. The list goes on.. I understand that I perhaps have put too much on my plate, & that's the main issue. However, how do I narrow it down to one at a time?

The bias of professionalism.

Is there a way to speed up the process of exhausting a desire to transcend your addiction to it?

I understand it's all a matter of learning to become comfortable with the uncomfortable. In the mean time however... when creating a conversation or starting some kind of an interaction with someone, what are some good tools that can help to alleviate any tension & uncomfortability for the person you're interacting with?

Once one is awakened, does everything lack purpose and actual intention? Does purpose become anything one wants to see? Does purpose become fluid; without purpose? Does purpose lack purpose once awakened?

Wow, I never thought of that.. ? Some good food for thought.

Examples can be from the media &/or any other positive examples of relationships throughout the world that you've seen... If you can, it would also be helpful to note why you feel as though it is a healthy relationship.. Why does that relationship inspire or validate your understanding of a healthy relationship? Thanks for any help!

@Charlotte Both, & in combination.

Some other more obvious biases to note: - A bias towards his own perspective - A bias towards knowing - A bias towards contextualization - A bias towards "jailbreaking the mind" - A bias towards relinquishing ego / selflessness - A bias towards all Of course these biases all depend on the question of: Does bias become null once ego is relinquished?

Life isn't anything, & it isn't that, or that, etc. Put more simply, life isn't. Try understanding "life isn't" without using language or anything else at all. Try understanding life without any understanding. Without anything. Try without. Do without. Be.

Is knowing the same as understanding? What is your perception of knowing? What are your thoughts?

Change your understanding of what ugly means, only then will you truly resolve this issue. Consider that physical beauty is subjective & it's irrelevant to your capabilities. I've met plenty of what-society-standardizes-as-"ugly" people, that aren't ugly at all. Chang your understanding of ugly & it won't bother you anymore.

"God was bored" is just a figure of speech.

I've struggled with addiction to many unhealthy things for most of my life up until the past 3 years, and as I've tried to remedy them, I keep falling short & going back to my old ways. Of course I may be a lot better than I was 3 years ago, but the habits & addictions continue to stay prominent in one way or another. I'm not necessarily trying to rid myself of these addictions, I'm moreover trying to replace them with healthy alternatives & I'm REALLY struggling to do so. Perhaps I'm being very impatient, but I like to think that there are quicker methods to becoming healthier habitually. I should also note it's not in my current nature to accept that much help from others, my ego is still quite prominent in that regard. How do you know if you need outside help? What are some indicators that instigate that you might need help & that you alone can't currently help yourself the way you want? (Of course I'm already against this idea in my head, because my ego doesn't like to think that it's incapable of anything. It's almost like an intuition telling me to ignore the help from others.) Thanks for any help!
