Where's the genius content, Steve?

[siryessir08]

I found this site about two years ago, and it's been life changing for me. In fact, I never even had a role model in life until I found this site. Almost all the content on this website reeks of truth to me.

However... I go back to the '05 and '06 material and I find incredibly awareness raising material such as the meaning of life, self-discipline, the whole series on subjective reality, the model you use on levels of consciousness...

These days you must be saving all the particularly quality content for your workshop attendees... your allergy to mangoes does nothing for me!!!

In order to maximize my value out of this site, I find myself simply going back and re-reading your posts from years ago.

I don't know... you're going to do what you're going to do, but you should do me a favor and write another ground-breaking series. I'm sure you have quite a few ideas on a list somewhere.

Consider it a request from a part of yourself.

Do you eat mangoes?

I do

How many people in the world love mangoes? Hmm, maybe a few.

How many people in the world like mangoes? Hmm, here and there, there's one or 2.

How many people... hate mangoes? Hi siryessir08

...and so on.

In any case, wouldn't there be people who will get to Steve's "good" articles from Steve eating mangoes and posting about it?

I found this site about two years ago, and it's been life changing for me.

Has it really? Have you become more compassionate, more tasteful, better with your words, actions and thoughts?

Because your whole post reeks of anger. I mean, I love it all, and it feels good for me to post a reply. And you don't hear me, as a part of YOUR self telling you to post a more quality question to the Universe

[supertom]

I find in all his entries, I think a lot of it is groundbreaking, I think its just the ground gets broken so much, I'm used to it.

I like your suggestion of a "ground breaking series", they would be quite fun.

[SheldonCooper]

your allergy to mangoes does nothing for me!!!

It is a lot more meaningful to me. So Steve just found out you can develop alergies for over eating raw food. Probably just like you can get alergies from over eating meat and same happens with most unhealthy food habits. It is one of the best lessons in the site ^^.

[siryessir08]

ArthurHung: I'm not sure where you're seeing any anger. I was just making a genuine request.

Steve's material has changed the entire way I perceive reality.

I'm just saying.... Steve is so far ahead of me in his development, and most of the content lately has been much shorter, and less substantive than it used to be.

I'd like to see Steve challenge himself to create a series that is even difficult for him. If the Steve of '06 had such incredible series, I can't even imagine the reality-shattering content the Steve of 2010 is capable of creating.

I first started reading feedback on my articles 11 years ago, and it's been life changing for me. In fact, I never had such an abundance of article ideas until I started getting feedback on my writing. Almost all the feedback I received reeks of truth to me.

However... I keep going back to the feedback people sent me in '05 and '06 and find incredible awareness-raising topic suggestions such as "What's the meaning of life?" and "How can I build more self-discipline?" and "What's the true nature of reality?"

I request detailed instructions on sexual deviance.

For example:

Tying Up Your Partner For Conscious Growth (With Knots)
Keeping Slaves as a Route to a More Organized Life
Become a Better Leader Through Domination

Also, I have an interest in emotion. I honestly haven't read anything on your blog for a while. It seemed to me that last I checked, there was precious little on emotion. Anything on the topic of emotion would pique my interest: models of emotion, approaches to emotion, responses to uncomfortable emotion, methods of generating pleasant emotion.

I'm brewing a sex stories blog. Maybe I'll write some non-fiction, too.

I can see myself reading - jaws dropping constantly, saying "no way" alot.

Hmmm. I used to write erotic short stories (good ones, too, or so I was told). I could also write non-fiction erotica if I had a mind to (yeah, I had a wild and misspent youth ).

I wonder if there's any money in that. They do say that the surest way to make money on the net is with sex... Hmmmmmm......

I look forward to it, personally, because on of the things that I feel is "on deck" for me, is reclaiming my sexuality in a way that doesn't involve feeling shame or using humor as a buffer.

In a way, I kind of think you might be pivotal to that path when I choose to take it.

Steve, you crack me up. This was such a great response to the OP. I love it when people turn around their complaints on them. And there is a ring of truth to what you said to him.

One thing they can never take away from us is our wit and you certainly haven't lost that, Steve.

[siryessir08]

Hah... alright Steve, deal.

Quality feedback isn't easy though, I'll think about it and get back to you.

If anyone else has some great ideas for content, feel free to share them.

Edit: Thought about it. Recently you wrote an article on fully disproportionate relationships and the slave/master dynamic. You showed all the potential for growth within that kind of relationship. I found it very interesting, because a girl once wanted to be my slave once upon a time, but I reacted with concern for her mental well-being. After reading that article... maybe she was on to something.

I'd like to see you write some more on relationship dynamics and how one can have growth experiences and extract value from a variety of other kinds of relationships. These can be proportionate, disproportionate, or relationships where the proportionality has not been established, such as the self/stranger dynamic.

For example, the slave/master dynamic is a fully disproportionate relationship, but what about the other types of disproportionate relationships. The first that comes to mind is the teacher(or mentor)/student dynamic. I had a relationship for 9 months under this dynamic, and it was mutually beneficial as I became her role model, and her looking up to me encouraged my own growth so I would have more to teach her.

More on this later.

When I get a mind-blowingly cool suggestion for a new article or podcast, it often inspires me to create and post something within a matter of hours.

But these days, most of the feedback I receive is bland. It includes suggestions for things I've already written about in depth, boring or basic topics that already have an abundance of quality content created by others, or overly general suggestions that amount to "write something about X."

I recently asked for new topic suggestions on Twitter and Facebook and got dozens of replies. Honestly though, none of those replies seemed inspired. Most were suggestions of topics I've already written about at length. The other suggestions had no bite to speak of.

High-quality suggestions are unfortunately few and far between.

I have little interest in writing about mundane or easy topics that everyone else is covering. I'd rather tackle something that actually challenges me. Otherwise I get bored because the act of writing itself is not enough of a challenge. I need something that engages my whole being.

Here's a series suggestion Andrew Gubb and I were talking about earlier:
"Articles I've Written in the Past That I Now Disagree With and Why"

Of course, you may have no such article. But I thought it was worth a mention。

[Plays With Life]

Maybe it's time to do something other than blogging.

That's pretty broad

If there's no inspiration in what you're doing, there's not much point in doing it. Maybe Steve can turn to painting, instead.

Steve - if you had a radio show on Hay House, I'm sure I would listen. A new media like that might allow reaching people who wouldn't sit and read, but who would sit and listen. It would allow real-time interaction regarding your content with people who call in, in public for everyone to benefit from. I always love the way Michael Neill lays out an idea, briefly - and then *engages* someone who calls in regarding how to put that idea into practice in their own life. I think I got the most benefit from seeing him apply the ideas to real-life situations for real people.

And it could give some of your existing content a sort of fresh life, because of the new presentation. You could add in new insights you've developed since writing your old blog posts - some of them are several years old now.

It's still not a content idea, though. I don't seem to have any ideas for content.

[Mounds]

Take a two week vacation from blogging and do a bunch of cool stuff. Scratch some stuff off your bucket list and inspire others to do the same.
Some stuff on my personal bucket list:

-wall climbing
-attend a Celine Dion concert (laugh all you want)

-Tim

[Plays With Life]

And what happened to having a list of topics you would never be able to finish? Didn't you say you had enough compelling topics to write for the next 100 years, or something?

Of course! Unless you're legally obliged to, like school.
All I was saying (rather playfully) was that "something other than blogging" is a really broad category。

Yeah - what's with that? Law enforces uninspired action? That will do society a lot of good.

Of course, you may have no such article. But I thought it was worth a mention。

I can disagree with anything I've previously written simply by adopting a different perspective, so such a topic would be meaningless in practice. You're erroneously assuming that I wrap ideas into my identity, which I don't.
