Where's the genius content, Steve?

[MidasGirl]

I think this is why most personal development "gurus" end up writing 53 books that all say the same thing. Their students crave, demand something "new" from said gurus. They want to milk the guru to its last drop.

There's only so much there is to write about PD. Other than him repeating crap from different angles, you could just accept that he's probably outgrown himself.

I suggest he take your crutch away completely by stopping blogging altogether

Or perhaps he should just outsource his blogging to others.

Don't take our crutch away, give us a new one!

I'm just posting here to say something I think bears saying. I don't know if it has already been said before in this thread, but here it goes:

Steve has published enough genius content to last a lifetime. The fact that some people don't resonate with his new content is fine. He has written some of the most eye-opening articles I have ever read about reality, spirituality, and many other topics I am interested in. He has opened my eyes and the eyes of many others. He has already done enough, far more than enough. So anything more he does, whether you deem it to be genius-worthy or not, should not matter because he has already given way more than life has asked of him. So maybe it is you who needs to have more genius content, or as Steve so brilliantly said, genius feedback.

It's only a bit of feedback the OP gave, not Kryptonite -- just stating, respectfully and gratefully, if clumsily, what he'd like to see more of from Steve going forward. He didn't go kittywompus or anything. It doesn't mean anything about Steve if he chooses not to incorporate these or any suggestions -- although personally, my feeling is that feedback itself is something well worth being grateful for, especially when it's from readers, rather than to be spurned or dissed.

In other words, I think it does indeed matter, at least to the OP (and I think to others who have expressed similar feelings), and it *should*, because it does.

The OP, in my opinion, seems to be taking the feedback on his feedback quite graciously. I acknowledge you for that, Aaron.

Thanks, Angela.

I don't think Steve's posts these days aren't valuable, however, I love reading his series' more than anything else. Most of Steve's posts this year have been fairly unrelated to one another, but I'd like to see a stream of posts (like Steve did pretty often a few years ago) that dig very, very deep into a topic of interest...

I've mentioned my favorites before -- subjective reality, meaning of life, and self-discipline. I don't think it's the specific topics that make me love these articles, but the depth that Steve plunges into them.

Of course, I find myself incapable of making a quality suggestion... that's OK, I prefer to be surprised by Steve's posts anyway.

Looking forward to reading about the travel blogging. Especially because I believe he will bust through any glass ceilings that are currently invisible, in the world of travel. Maybe completely random travel, cross-dressing travel, finding out a way to go to outer space, or 30-day trial of 30 countries (one a day). Who knows?

Good luck, Steve.

Maybe it'll be the kids' conscious decisions as to whether they will travel or not. That would be interesting to hear.

If he shares his journey I and many of his other readers will almost certainly find value and entertainment from his path! I believe it is impossible for Steve to remain in a state of homeostasis.

Anyone else think his latest post on procrastination was genius?

You live in a moocher mindset, either you step out of it or remain confused.

Woooah no need to be rude. You shouldn't go around throwing insults at people when you don't know them. Get off your high horse.

Yeah I'm applying at health stores & clothing stores because they fit with my interests. Mother wants me to apply everywhere & send my CVs to everyone though Also while I wait for something to come up in something I'm *actually* interested in I'm selling all my old junk.

It also does give you a great advantage of already knowing what you like and dislike about working, before you choose your school or type of education.

This is very helpful advice, I never thought of it like that! Thank you!

Woooah no need to be rude.

Yes. Yes. But it takes so much courage.

If you allow procrastination, won't you eventually go to jail for not paying your bills and taxes etc?

Maybe he doesn't mean it in such a literal way though.

What about an article on making really strong friendships between men?

I look back on biographies and stories from before 1900 and always wonder what it was like to have a friend that I'd die for or say I loved. You rarely hear of friendships that close these days.

I think i would know a bit about such relationships... you have to break the barrier of social conditioning though.

My bro's from Indonesia are open to this sort of relationship and seeing as the conditioning in me ain't that strong, we can connect like this. Perhaps going to Indonesia would be good for you if you're really dedicated to learning this? Or Spain, as an intermediary step (as a brit I had a harsh learning curve even here, lol).

I would be very interested in reading more about this myself. Most of the focus goes onto men meeting women for sex or relationships. In my entire life, I never had a very hard time approaching women and having a connection. Meeting other guys as friends? Different story.
If anyone has any good articles about this, drop me a PM or post them here!

The new procrastination post was pretty cool, and it fits into a series a bit. Steve hit on procrastination with "Overcoming procrastination" and "Concious procrastitation," and offers a new kind of perspective (my favorite of the three) with his newest article.

there is a sentence i liked:

The latter is a little more common nowadays by the way – it’s more “okay” for a woman to be muscular and competitive than it is for a man to be exuberant, soft and wear a dress.

I think you're right, it's double standards really. Is this a new website of yours? (sorry with all the changes recently i haven't kept up with a lot of stuff).

[Andrew Gubb]

Thanks!

Not really, a rebranding of the old one. If you type in andrew gubb dot com you come to this site now.

That was totally genius. So simple, to the point & makes perfect sense you wonder why you didn't think of it before. It's like it was hidden in my subconscious the whole time XD

Be warned steve..

That earth changing events are coming.. (or so a little bird told me ) so like me.. if you wish to travel foreignly.. just be prepared to get stuck.. maybe, do to some volcano's.. especially in the south pacific

earth will stay almost the same for at least the next 20 years. There will always be wars and catastrophes, but that's a given any year.

Yeah that's an interesting thing to think about.
I'm hyper-interested in things like paying your bills, especially how to pay your bills without a job and stuff...

Nah, I don't think you could go to jail for not paying bills, you'll likely get kicked out of your apartment that you rented. Or you'll start accumulting debt. All sorts of bad stuff.

Hopefully, if the higher intelligence is trying to "nudge" you in a different direction, it will make it easier for you to pay bills.

I must say I'm thoroughly enjoying this thread, and I'd like to thank all of you for being such stimulating reflections of the Unity that is One/Me/You/Us.

Andrew Gubb, that list seems like a fantastic to-do list for you.
I especially want to read "Why Being Annoying Is Actually Quite Awesome Sometimes"...




Yes, it is time for the teacher to leave his home land.
