Well, people who don't sleep stop functioning after a few days. Which tells you how crucial this function is. By overworking you will end up ultimately doing less work, by burning yourself out. Less is more.

India simply lacks basic high-quality governmental infrastructure to sustain peace between all those tribes: court systems, roads, uncorrupted police, bridges, toilets, parks, meat inspections, etc. All of that must be built up before Stage Green can emerge in a significant way. There cannot be Stage Green if 200 million people are still wiping their ass with their bare hands like they did 5,000 years ago. The function of government is to solve such logistical challenges. By solving such challenges egos are pacified and there can be talk of higher consciousness values. Otherwise people behave like animals.

By becoming a passionate musician today you ARE setting an example for generations to come. The example must be set way early. These are seeds that must be planted hundreds of years in advance. Just like how the seed for democratic government had to be planted some 2500 years ago by the Greeks. Those seeds are still just sprouting. Don't wait to plant the seed. That is the point of automation. That is why automation is a very good and important trend. Automation frees up mankind to pursue their passions without needing to do grunt work. Most people simply don't understand this yet because living a passionate life is scary -- it takes a lot more responsibility and consciousness.

Not a psychopath, just Stage Red Impeachment cornered him like a rat. So this is the ego backlash to that. Trump is too unconscious to accept loss without lashing out. That is what makes him so dangerous. He will try to take the ship down with him if he goes down.

Of course your Spiral Stage totaly depends on where and when you were born. If you were born into Hitler's shoes, you'd be precisely Hitler. This is so obvious it should go without saying, yet people are in such denial about it that they manage to overlook this obvious fact. Nothing whatsoever seperates you from the most evil people who ever lived. The ego is that imagined seperation.

No, it's not conscious. It's a lack of consciousness. It's self-bias, closemindedness, ego, and just how Stage Blue cognition works. He is genuine in his beliefs. Basically all people are genuine in their ignorance. From Ben Shaprio's POV, he's helping the world be a better place, he's acting from love -- like all people. But since his self-awareness is quite low, his love ends up being very selfish and partial. It's not really his fault. All evil is simply lack of consciousness. Which is why evil doesn't really exist. It is just misdirected love. Here you must distinguish between the intelligence required to think within the box of society vs the intelligence of truly original thinking. To earn a law degree you don't need to do any original thinking, you just need to be very good at following the rules and orders that society has laid out for you. You need to be a good soldier. Which is what Stage Blue excels at. Stage Blue is great at being meticulously conformist. If you need to hire someone to make sure that concentration camps operate like well-oiled machines, you hire a nice conformist boy like Ben Shaprio to manage it for you. He will do it without asking any questions. This was in fact how Nazi Germany was run. Nothing strange about it. Every political position can be criticized from above or below, not just left vs right. You can be anti-interventionist from above or below. For example, you could believe that it's wrong to start a war in the Middle East because they are low-life savages who don't even deserve to fight the noble white man. But such anti-interventionism is further from Stage Green anti-interventionism than wanting to invade the Middle East to steal their oil. One would first have to evolve in consciousness just to see the Middle East as a worthwhile place to steal oil from, and only then one might evolve further in consciousness to actually care about the lives and interests of Middle Easterners as much as white lives and interests. You can be opposed to war for the wrong reasons. What matters most is not the fact that you oppose war, but what level of consciousness you're seeing the situation from. You might oppose war because you're to fearful of getting drafted. But that is a selfish perspective which is very different from opposing war because you're conscious of the suffering it would cause the "enemy". The true problem with the Middle East wars is not that it hurts America's interests, but that it creates suffering for innocent and powerless people in the Middle East. It's like kicking a wounded dog and blaming the dog.

No, you cannot be passionate about everything.

If every human took a shit in the same room, we'd all be dead. Nothing material scales infinitely. Everything has to be in proportion in a complex society. The mistake in your logic is that you assume that following your passion means that this should scale across 7 billion people. But of course it won't, simply because 95% won't ever even hear the advice, let alone follow it, so it's not something to worry about. Following your passion is advice aimed at 5% of the population. And that is workable. And by the time 5% of the population is following their passion, that will open the doors for another 5% to do the same, and so on, until one day we can have 50%+ people doing it, and maybe some day 90%+. But this will take many generations. You can be a musician precisely because most people have no interest in being musicians because they are not wired like you. Probably less than 1% of people in the world would choose to be a musician if they have total freedom to do whatever they wanted. For example, human civilization would collapse if everyone became enlightened overnight. Which is precisely why it will never happen. Enlightenment is very rare precisely because it needs to be rare in order for civilization to sustain itself. But this is irrelevant if you are the one who knows awakening is your thing.

This applies all the way up and down the chain of life. If a Unified World Government seems unlikely or impractical, just remember that 2000 years ago the idea of a country was crazy because there were only walled city-states. And 2 billion years ago, the idea of multicellular organisms was crazy because there were only single-celled organisms eating each other. For a human body to exist, single-celled organisms had to learn to cooperate with each other despite having their own selfish agendas. This is a game that life has played out for 2 billion years.

He was a regional war hero, akin to George Washington. Imagine how Americans would react if George Washington was assassinated by Iran. That is the situation here. Even the most moderate Iranians will now be pissed off and driven to violence because this is a matter of pride and self-respect. No self-respecting nation can allow such abuse. When Iranian history books are written, Soleimani will go down as their George Washington, and now a martyr at the hands of an evil empire. A generation of children will grow up hating America. Killing him was the worst possible strategic blunder from America's POV. Iran is now united and empassioned.

@butcho I doubt you have even begun to transcend culture.

Because all he's doing is acting out childhood dogmas. There is no contemplation of anything, it's all self-justification. There is no truth-seeking.

Every US general and secretary of defense is a war criminal by the US's own logic. Of course top military leaders mastermine the deaths of thousands of people. That is their job. By the US's own logic, all top US officials are justified to be assassinated for their military planning. That's how absurdly self-biased the position is.

Stop listening to him period. His intellect is just garbage. Anyone who takes the likes of him or Tucker Carlson seriously is just a joke. You cannot take anything they say seriously because it is so stunningly self-biased and intectually bankrupt. Some people are so banrkupt that even to listen to them or engage with them seriously is already a mistake. This pretty much goes for anyone at Fox News. It's self-biased propaganda. You might as well be listening to and debating with someone who is pro-slavery.

Meaning is imaginary, just like everything else.

This was the greatest concern about Trump now come to fruition. The correct wording here is: the US assassinated Iranian top leader. But notice how US media doesn't phrase it that way due to self-bias.

@Chumbimba Bottom line is that it will be too expensive for you. You need to look for cheaper options. You don't need to spend that much money to do consciousness work. Buy the Kriya Yoga books and get to work, if you're serious. Don't wait around for others to do the work for you.

It's a small factor but nothing worth worrying about. BTW, reverse racism is just racism. Racism doesn't only apply to white people. Anyone can be racist. Conservatives love to use the notion of reverse racism to argue that nothing needs to be done about racism or that racism doesn't exist. Which is just hogwash.

No catch that I'm aware of. Your results may vary.

Just sit still. And don't go into it expecting sobbing and rage. That becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Expect good things. Expect answers to your deepest questions.

That's your strawman of what they say. They never actually say 90%. More like 25%. Which is about right. Yes, they demonize the right too much sometimes. How else could Green be? Racism is a serious issue which the country has not yet fully addressed. There's a lot of denial going around about it still. People like to think they are more developed than they actually are.

Lol Society is 50 years out from mastering the basics of what they talk about, and you want something higher? A Yellow person has better things to do than criticizing TYT and Majority Report.

Your issue is more basic than meditation. Meditation is not going to fix your neediness because you're not at a level of development yet where you can even take meditation seriously. The advice for you is: work on your isolation, learn to socialize, build social skills, develop friends, develop dating skills, have sex, and THEN meditation will help you reach higher levels. Meditation is not a shortcut for avoiding learning basic survival skills like dating, making money, proper diet, etc. Meditation is a rather advanced skill for people who have already become proficient at survival and want to reach the next level. Once you've had a bunch of sex and made a bunch of money, then you ask, "Okay, what's next?" That's where meditation starts to look appealing. Don't assume that. Most people here don't meditate or meditate so ineffectively that they might as well be watching TV. Serious meditation is a rare skill that very few people practice. And meditation takes years to pay off.

@JunkyJu Why would it not be worth it? Have you not read some life changing DMT trip reports?

If you put a stage Orange person in a Green environment, they are likely to not fit in and have falling out. Which is what happened. Spiral Dynamics is not so simplistic as to say that if you put an Orange person into a higher environment he will automatically grow into it. Many people will have a backlash and entrench themselves in their old stage. If TYT hired a white supremacist, he would probably quit in short order and start his own white supremacy YT channel.
