    @Joseph Maynor LOL i'm so sorry! I've been reading your journal the past couple of days and have been thinking of learning from it with the interpersonal skills. I definitely need a shake up. so i didn't mean it like that.  

    I just used that as fodder for making a joke.  I like you, don't worry.  I'm not taking as much personal anymore.  Even my shitty performance on my own schedule this week I'm not taking personally.  Momentum is hard to build, all I can do is just keep plugging away.  I know I can get to peak performance again because I was there before.

    @Joseph Maynor Pretty much. It's funny how I started out my spiritual journey as a fundamentalist Christian and now I'm here discussing God's mastrabatorium. 

    If you listen you can still hear God's voice.  The only thing that's changed is the window-dressing -- the doll house you made to understand God.  The projections you made onto God have changed.

    @Natasha There's one quote from one of his early videos that stuck in my head, it was something about masculinity and wanting to fuck the world. I guess he found through his journey starting with pick up that his desire to fuck the world was really a desire for enlightenment all along. But the metaphors stuck. xD

    I like this video too.  It's dead on.  Yang energy.

    This is a Threshold Guardian on the Hero's Journey for you paradoxically.  Don't quit.  Be a man and dust yourself off friend.  Get back up and just cool off for a while.  Realize you're shooken up right now and you're gonna be looking for an outlet for that energy.  What you need is for people to tell you how much they appreciate you on here.  We should all give you 5 reasons that we appreciate you and you'll melt like an ice cream cone.

    1. You're smart
    2. You got great Dragon-energy to use one of Zzenn's terms
    3. You got good courage
    4. You've got a purpose that you're trying to actualize
    5. You got at least some knowledge of which you speak

    Start living your life now by working on practically improving your life and improving the lives of other human beings.  No more hiding away from life in philosophy -- it's time to go live this one life you have today.  It's time to do and speak instead of just speak.  Integrate Karma Yoga with your Jnana Yoga.  Apply the Paradox of Action and Truth.  Truth without action is a bore; and action without truth is a fool.

    Wall Street and giant banks are allowed to be breeding grounds for devils. It's utterly corrupt and exploitative. No conscious society would allow such a thing. Most people do not fully understand how corrupt these systems are. And Trump only adds fuel to the fire by appointing these devils to his administration.

    It's interesting that you cling so hard to being the righteous restorer.  Righteousness is a such a characteristically Stage Blue trait.

    The moralistic one is you because you believe in good and bad, right and wrong, and you judge your own wickedness.

    But what I'm saying Leo is that you do too and I don't think you see this in yourself.  You have a very moralistic, judgmental, absolute truth-ish, almost puritanical energy.  It's almost like you're teaching your own Shadow.

    @Leo Gura I'm just curious about one thing Leo.  Why are you so moralistic, absolute truth-ish, almost puritanical in your energy, yet you preach in words the importance of not clinging to 'shoulds'?  How does that work out?  You sound like a very Orthodox religious man.  That's the energy that comes off.  Very Stage Blue.   Very absolute truth-ish.  It's like Mohammad, everybody's job is to copy his words and deeds because he was right by God; he alone was the source of the Absolute Truth.

    What's wrong is that they behave like shameless devils while pretending they are equal to Democrats. They are not.

    Truth is not neutral. The midpoint between bullshit and truth is still bullshit.

    "Republican" is just a word and a concept that human beings are more or less resonant with.  That's all it is.  It's a linear label.  Every person is a mix between Conserativism (Yang) and Progressivism (Yin).  Apply the Paradox of Conservativism and Progressivism.  In that case, you'll see that the word/concept "Republican" has pros and cons, and you can integrate the pros and leave behind the cons of the word/concept "Republican".  Don't judge it, use it, see.
