You must dive deep into whatever color stage you are still struggling with. You can't be solid Green until you exhaust Orange. Become so Orange that you get sick of it. Then you will be truely ready for Green. In a sense, that's what Elliot Hulse is doing. He's playing through Blue and Orange. Burning through his karma to someday reach Green. If he ever reaches Green in this lifetime he'll see how silly and dysfunctional his rants about sluts and sexual purity were. But he needs to go through these rants to purify himself. So what you're seeing in his videos is his growing up process. The only problem is that he is dragging his followers along with him into the dysfunction. But he can't help it. So here we are.

@Cepzeu Very good. You hit the nail on the head there.

I was amazed by this interview because in it Scaramucci (a stage Blue/Orange Wall Street guy) finally realizes Trump's stage Red nature. And finally he turns on Trump. The key moment happens right at the 0:30 mark. He realizes that Trump is not evolved enough to be genuinely racist because he's too much of a stage Red opportunist. It's the most amazing back-handed compliment I've ever heard, LOL: A great lesson in psychology and Spiral Dynamics. It's also very revealing that Scaramucci saw Trump's opportunism in the flesh, but it never bothered him until now. Which is exactly right. Stage Orange itself tends to be opportunistic without much remorse or foresight of the problems that such unchecked opportunism leads to. See, the problem with putting a shameless opportunist into office is that he won't hesitate to start a war if it helps him get reelected. The more cornered such a person becomes, the more dangerous he becomes because his only concern is his own survival. If Trump goes down, he will take the entire ship with him.

Hard to say. It is both epic and yet not much changes since everything remains what it was. You still have to take a shit the next day as long as you're surviving.

Progressive change has always required years and lots of pressure. People in power do not just give up their power willingly. But also keep in mind, just because you want society to be progressive does not mean everyone else does too. In a democracy, many people are moderate or conservative. That means they vote for someone like Joe Biden. Bernie didn't have a money problem. His message was clear. It's just that he was too progressive for average folks. Bernie didn't lose because some evil elites held him back. Bernie lost because most voters are not progressive and don't want such fundamental change. In a democracy sometimes you have to accept defeat. If you are very progressive, chances are society will never be as progrssive as you want, because you are ahead of your time. This is not because of evil elites, it's because average people are not ready to make the sacrifices that progressivism requires.

@Prathibha It takes repeated tripping and contemplation to make sense out of what 5-MeO-DMT has to show you. There's a lot there. You won't get it apl even in 10 trips. So if you really want to know the Truth, keep going.

Consciousness is always consciously creating, but you are not fully conscious of that.

You got it! Reality is Love. The end.

@Neuroknot He was never at solid Green. And regression is rare but possible under tighter survival conditions.

Yes, I don't doubt they do. I don't say that I'm the most conscious. All I claim is that I have accessed peak states of consciousness which are super-human and which very few people have ever accessed or could access naturally. Sadhguru does not understand psychedelics, so his opinions on them are irrelevant to me.

Depends on how you define "level of consciousness." Generally speaking your state will drop back to what it was before the trip. But you will remain insights, memories, and it will leave a mark on your psyche. But you will not keep the higher state as that requires neurotransmitters which you lack. Well, every state is God, so here it is. But this current state is nothing like the God-mode state of 5-MeO-DMT. I'm not in God-mode, I'm more in human mode.

Basically

It's both

Well, it's just impossible to maintain those peak states. The understanding you can keep.

I can be if I train my mind on it. But most of the time I operate as if others are real. It's not useful to metaphysically question people all the time. It's an illusion that I play within. Sort of like when you play a video game, you're not constantly question that it's all just a game. You buy into the illusion and act as if it is real, at least for a while. Yeah, hang in there. It can in certain ways. Mostly I notice less fear about needing to please others. So I act more authentically and I feel less of a need to play social games. I think awakening makes one more direct and authentic with people. I've noticed that I care less and less what people think about me, which frees me up to act however I would naturally act if I was alone. Yes, less shyness, less fear, less distance with strangers. More compassion for their personal suffering.

@StripedGiraffe I struggle with that myself. It's tricky and challenging.

It does, but that doesn't mean your ego-mind will like it. The more Truth and Love, the more terrified you will get. Because it's not there to please or suit your personal survival needs. The deeper you go, the more of your life you'll have to surrender. How much are you willing to surrender? How selfless are you willing to be? This is very challenging for a human. It's much more challenging than people expect. Because you can't imagine how much illusion there is to surrender.

Other people are an illusion. If you shake that illusion, life becomes very dull. Just you by yourself. The illusion is very hard to entirely break. For practical purposes we continue treating people as if they are real because that's what survival dictates and our minds aren't interested in truth, they are interested in illusions.

@Javfly33 It's much more complex than that. Imagination has many layers to it and your present state of consciousness does not give you access to the deepest layers. Those layers which you don't have access to you call "physical reality". As you gain more access "physical reality" will start to become more and more fluid, less solid, less "real".

I would be careful about any such claims to a "Collective Awakening". There is no collective. There is only YOU!

It's obvious to me at this point. Can I prove it to you? No.

Yes! You are literally imagining the new reality you want. Basic LoA. You are using the power of imagination to drill a portal to God. Many spiritual techniques rely on this mechanism without being explicit about it. That's how prayer works, for example. If you pray long and hard enough to Jesus, he can manifest himself to you. Because in fact Jesus is just a facet of your own mind. This is why some people worship Jesus, and it works for them. Other people worship an elephant man, and it works for them. Other people worship the devil, and it works for them. You can even worship Leo and one day I will appear to you and guide you to God. It doesn't matter what specific form your worship. This is why an infinite number of different religions can exist. The details of the imagery are largely irrelevant, as long as you take it seriously. The whole point is to blur the materialist boundary between "real" vs imaginary. This boundary itself is imaginary! The more you can blur this boundary, the more powerful you can be at manifesting and manipulating reality. This how yogis develop supernatural abilities/siddhis. They train up their imagination skills.

Yes, this would be a state of Total Omniscience or Infinite Consciousness. I've been in this state. This is God's purest, highest state. In this state, God is an infinite singularity which is completely self-aware and self-understanding. Nothing is hidden from its awareness. It is just pure Consciousness, pure Love. It has happened already! The mistake is assuming that Infinite Mind is limited by past or future. Past and future are things which Infinite Mind imagines, so it is not limited by them. God does not need to wait for some future state in order to become fully God. God is always fully God. But temporarily it can forget that it is God as it explores finite parts of itself. If God wants to know what it's like to be a kangaroo, it has to stop being omniscient for a while and pretend to be a kangaroo. During this brief period, past and future arise. Otherwise there is no past or future for God.

Love, Will, Omniscience, Omnipotence, Intelligence, Benevolence, Creativity, etc. are all inherent to Infinity/Consciousness. The highest Will simply chooses the highest Love, which then necessitates the entire Universe exactly as it is. Because God IS Will, God IS Love. It doesn't "do" Love, it IS Love and all of its free Will goes into being Love. You can say God chooses to be Love, or you can say God has no choice but to be Love because God IS Love. Both are the same. There isn't a "how". God is Love. No "how" necessary. It is direct. Or, you could say it does so via Infinite Consciousness/Intelligence/Will. If you were infinitely conscious/intelligent, you would have no other wish but to express Love. So then your Will and your Love would be the same thing. God/Infinity is a tautology/necessity. God cannot be anything other than God. Reality cannot be anything but Love. There's nothing accidental about it. It is designed to maximize Love. Because very few people understand or have direct consciousness of the deepest nature of God. You don't need to speculate. Consciousness can have complete self-understanding.
