Exposing falsehood ≠ Truth

3 posts in this topic

A reflection for Leo and the tone he sets on his blog and in this forum.

For quite somewhile now, I feel a growing distain to open the blog and the forum. Although Leo openly points out a big deal of his work is exposing human falsehood which prevents you of reaching the Truth. It becomes apparent that it is the main tone on his blog, which for a long time carried over his more pessimistic tone on the forum as well (although lately it feels a bit more neutral, but he also refrains from replying to much).

The logical fallacy that I get from Leo's communication on his mission, is that exposing falsehood does not lead to Truth by itself. I know that Leo is aware of that, but it does not reflect on his blog subjects. He talks about Love and what it takes to reach Love, but rarely provides the good examples that can be found on Love, and yes they are there.

Where does the distain come from? Constant exposure to the negative aspect of humanity does not work well to elevate the tone and set a positive outlook for the future of humanity. It also feels the tone of the blog is replicated on the forum as well. As a lot of people here somehow look towards Leo as the tone setter, (consciously or unconsciously) and it's hard to find uplifting examples of the outlook on human existence in his communication on the blog and the forum.

Maybe it's more the INTP nature of Leo to focus on the factual nature of his work and thereby neglecting the more emotional nature.

Also I think Leo is to limited in his US centered approach. Although he exposes himself to a variety of YouTube media, this media is mostly filtered by the creator itself. This is the nature of human communication ofcourse, the further you get from the source the more noise there is.
Especially on international topics on his blog, which often is a video from a Westerner (American or European) looking through their (Western) POV. 

One of the most difficult tasks for a website is how to weigh your direction when it comes to satisfy the current user base, and from another perspective attracting new users.

Probably Leo is not directing to much in these kind of terms. But maybe something to think about. At some point the loyal follower see the mechanism that runs falsehood, by being exposed by so many examples. Which is exactly the goal of his approach, teaching you to see it on your own.

At that point the loyal follower has no reason to come back to the blog if the mechanism is exposed because it shows nothing new anymore. So at some point the loyal follower drops out. I wonder if he has enough metrics from his site to see what is going on, how many returning IP addresses compared to new IP addresses over time.

So my request is to mix in some positive stuff as well. How humanity is catering to love and truth, maybe not all has to be with a capital T, but it can balance the emotional side of the blog as well. And maybe a more positive mind set on the blog can change the tone on the forum as well.
+ A more neutral POV and letting go more of the US (Western) centered POV, especially when it comes international subjects.

 

@Leo Gura Not telling you how to run your site, just giving some honest feedback from my perspective and my journey when it comes to how I experience the blog (and forum).

Curious to see if I'm the only one.

I think Love is more about accepting perspectives that differ from what we would prefer.  Sometimes we do cut relations too.  They we may reconcile differently.  We're all operating at different pacing in different areas of Creation.  There's no guarantee.  This is why Love has limits.

Yes that is a perspective. But providing feedback is also a form of love. All is relative can be answer, but it's not the only answer, which in itself is relativistic. 
If all is relativistic and all is love then my reply is love as well. 
If all is relativistic then there is no need for Leo's blog because falsehood is love as well.

Love is relativistic in Absolute truth, Love is not relativistic in relative truth. Which is a mind fuck.
