Have you considered doing numbered chapters/parts to your long-form vids?

I got better things to do.

I didn't mean to imply that you go back to your older vids and add chaptered timestamps to them.

Sorry, I should have clarified that I was speaking of future videos. But I understand if you don't think that's worth it either.

@Miguel1 you're talking averages and generalities, different contexts - I'm just saying right person for right role.

Of course there are exceptions. You seem to be enjoying a leadership position.

Honestly, it isn't so exceptional. I understand you are expounding upon the general orientation of the masculine/feminine. It's probably worth it to note, my examples are from women in professional spheres working in construction - namely, project management. I don't listen to online rhetoric and algorythm slop. I speak from my professional career experience.

It is around a 60/40 split in favour of men in the project management or a superintendent role. Both sexes are equally competent and really enjoy their roles with long careers. I notice women in these roles who do well are 40 +. I've never ever had any issues leading men. All I do is broadcast my competence, aptitude and willingness to take responsibility and they are onside 100%.

I only have commercial experience in state / government projects. There is a strong push for women in leadership roles. This alone could skew the numbers and present bias in my professional dataset I present these thoughts from. I have yet to see a woman in a role that didn't appear to fit her skillset and aptitude.

I do think I am an anomaly (but not just for my leadership position and enjoyment, for other qualities) - I've never met another female construction estimator or construction manager/contracts administrator (I wear a few hats). Lots of superintendents and clients, though. They are out there. I don't feel I am more 'masculine'. I feel I have very good balance. HOWEVER - I know how to make room for a man in my life. In romantic relationships, I personally feel women need to stop pushing men away and learn to relax. Learn to bloody make room! This boss bitch 'I don't need no man' shit needs to fckn go. Let the dude HANDLE IT with the testicle  This is what I mean by having balanced feminine/masculine. A strong/balanced woman can make room for her man to be a man!

Leo do you wanna do biannual retreats for life?

I like the idea of you teaching me God Realization on a psychedelic when I'm old enough.

I can't speak that far ahead.

I need to complete a couple retreats to see how successful they are, how effective they are, how people like them, and how I feel about working them.

If things go well, I would like to host 2 retreats per year for the next few years. Beyond that I don't know yet.

Sorry, busy. There's some basic misconception at the heart of this belief-fantasy that's clearly etched in stone for some of you. In any case, I'm not doing this again. Consider the Ramana example. Not even dying changed things for him, so why would getting drunk, meditating, fasting, feeling bored or tired, or taking other drugs?

This is the impossibility being talked about. Nothing causes it or can cause it, because it is not a process. You do it.

Why would they say that this is a fantasy? Hmm...

There are plenty of threads you can find on this.

Why not hold it possible that when these guys are talking, they're using consciousness differently than you? Basic point: you're talking about cognition and experience, even awareness, and the changes that can be found or enacted within those realms. You drink tequila, you get drunk. You fast for a month, another set of effects occurs. But Consciousness is not a function of the brain.

I did share something, in the end.

Think of the brain as the government.

The government didn't create reality, yet it limits you.

Think of the below examples in terms of the style of the government:

• Taking a psychedelic is like traveling from Afghanistan to some first-world country
• Drinking alcohol is like traveling from Afghanistan to North Korea.

The style of government is very real when you are in it, no matter how much you know it's limiting you. It's not a fantasy.

The fantasy would be to say that governments across the world are the same, and nothing would change if you traveled.

Same. His style of writing is different from everyone else. 

Pretty unpretentious, down-to-earth, sobering. No place for (as much) fantasy.

cool to read about the retreat:) i'm pretty sure i don't qualify as stable enough - but everyone who attends, have fun:)

@Natasha Tori Maru  i was about to tell that you were referring to the professional environment and he was referring to the personal. You both have right, it depends in which area we are focusing.

Once I was with a very competitive woman who was kicking ass at work and then when she came to me she was giving up her masculine hat and couldn't wait to relax in her feminine.

But yeah, in the personal life, women should learn to chill the fuck out and expect men to be men, if we don't want to have a society of lazy, disgusting man-children.
