    @Hampus I don't really subscribe to the idea that you should move to a higher city in order to develop yourself.

    The environment that you're in affects your whole life.  You're stewing in your environment soaking all of it in.  One of the best and easiest things you can do in your personal/ interpersonal development work is to optimize your setting (change where you live).  I wouldn't discount this.  Setting is huge.  Every city that I've traveled to had a kind of controlling theme or vibe that will program you if you stay there long enough.  So, you wanna be conscious of that programming and consciously choose/change your environment (where you live).

    Experience is not experience. The very notion of experience is dualistic and corrupted by ego.

    You could take experience to be the Actual too.  This is why Metaphysics breaks down regarding attempts to capture Being like a butterfly in a net.  What is that which takes?  Is it not the Mind?

    You need a strategy to move yourself up the Emotional Scale -- this is part of what we might call Emotional Mastery Work.

    Look at where revenge is on the scale.   Don't feel bad if you're not good at Emotional Mastery work.  We can put together systems and strategies to get much better at this skill than we are.  This is mastering the skill of "Forcing Your Mood".  Leo talks about this in his Blueprint* (see link below).

    Apparent fragmentation if you want me to put it correctly. 

    How about fragmentation AND no fragmentation?  You like paradox?  Most people don't yet like paradox.  Most people are stuck in the Paradigm of Belief.  Paradox keeps the Mind from locking and blocking you within beliefs by keeping your Mind open and in its place.  Paradoxes are not beliefs, they're tools to keep the Mind from assuming its beliefs are Being.  The Tao that can be Named is Not the Eternal Tao.

    Your ignorance. 

    Doesn't it make strategic sense for you to worry about removing your own ignorance before trying to remove other people's ignorance?  Why impose yourself in that way on other people's lives if you're busily designing and building your own life?  This is like not driving your own car well yet worrying about correcting the driving of all the drivers on the road.  If you're standing around worrying about what other people are doing, you're not busy enough with your own work.

    Lol. I remember the days when you have replied with a big essay. Yeh keep it simple. Don't get riled up. I like it dude.

    I've grown!  I grew myself, see.  Very systematically.  You can design your own life and be enlightened simultaneously.  There's no contradiction there besides what the Mind erroneously throws up like it's a feature of reality rather than just a thought about Being.

    @Joseph MaynorMore assumptions.

    Move on please, not wasting my time here anymore. All you've been doing is making up stories in this conversation. That's an attack you do towards yourself because you're not learning anything new you're just in defense mode.

    When you're pursuing your own life, you don't have time to worry about what other people are doing.

    Video on point to watch:

    @Joseph Maynor you’re full of shit, you’re making it into something it’s not. I asked you questions, you decided not to respond to those questions.

    This has nothing to do with tolerance or a “perspective I’m trying to enforce”. 

    My perspective is simply one that I’m stating, not one I’m trying to enforce. If I do not inform you of my perspective, which is what you do, you will not have accurate information to build from.

    Theres literally no need for me to tolerate someone who won’t respond to questions in a genuine way. It’s a total unproductive use of time. Feel free to do what you want to do though I don’t care, I’m just making it clear what my boundaries for interaction are.

    I’m not going to waste my time with someone that keeps on making needless assumptions about the interaction and forming erroneous conclusions.

    The subject of this interaction has been simple, an enquiry from me and a lack of tolerance of that enquiry from you given all the walls, scapegoating and reversing of focus from you. And that doesn’t all bother me I was just calling you out on what I perceive to be bullshit as you’ve literally got nothing to stand on to ground you in your position other than assumptions.

    That’s as simple as it gets. Move on please you’re just wasting my time.

    Tolerance this and diversity that, you’re full of shit, it has nothing to do with that.

     

    When you're pursuing your own life you're not really concerned with what other people are doing.

    @Joseph Maynor

    I would refer to that as a cop-out.

    See, your intention is to make your perspective the perspective.  You still need reinforcement that you're right.  You can't tolerate tangential ways of being to your own yet.  Ask yourself this -- what is that which needs to be right?  Is a chipmunk running around thinking every other perspective needs to be like his?  And yes, chipmunks have individual perspectives and personalities too.  What is that which needs to have everything be like me?  I think one of the great places to arrive on the path is appreciation of and toleration for the diversity of enlightened being.

    Could you elaborate on what you mean by that? The only conclusion I can make at present is that you equate advanced personality development work as conditioning oneself. If this is true, where did you get this idea and why do you believe this to be the case? Where would you put being true to being (I'd phrase it more as this than authenticity given authenticity can be a loaded term to some)? (to personality development work in general not just advanced)

    And that's an interesting way of putting it, what do you mean by the term personality?

    What is the difference between advanced and beginner here?

    How is conditioning related to personality?

    You're at a different part of the Path than I am.  We're Mars and Venus to each other.  I'm not saying I'm superior to you or you me.  We prefer different lenses to look at Being through right now in our respective journeys, that's all.  Celebrate diversity!

    I have no idea what you mean by that actually, could you please elaborate? Thanks.

    I accept the fact that no two people are at the same place in their Path.  You might be speaking Chinese and I might be speaking English.  You might live in China and I might live in Australia.  You might be at Stage X of life and I might be at Stage Y of life.  Maybe you're a woman and I'm a man.  Maybe your personality type is the opposite of mine.  Maybe your most sought-after objectives in life differ from mine.  Maybe your grab-bag of useful theory differs from my grab-bag of useful theory.  Maybe your life trajectory is tangential to my life trajectory.

    @Joseph Maynor I don't think its possible  for me to model it, i was actually surprised how well leo modelled it in his video. I wouldn't be able to give an explanation like that. The reason is because he's a teacher and has modelled all his insights. Mines are now where near communicable. I can't even tell people in various metaphors about truth. I really struggle with that so i just ditched it. 

    But if you hit Yellow you should know how to model.
