This is an independent factor from Sprial Dynamics. I would call it a type, similar to masculine/feminine or personality types. A type should theoretically exist at any stage. But some types might be too limited to rise to the highest stages in practice. I doubt you can have a stage Yellow clinically retarded person. Remember that SD is a model which tracks averages. It will not address all the weird edge-cases of the human psyche. There are some serious freaks of nature who must be considered uniquely.

@Pernani Sweet! Nice share!

Hard to say. He's definitely a very intelligent, highly developed stage Green at least. Probably some shades of Yellow, but also probably held back by the lack of knowing Spiral Dynamics and what Yellow even is. To really get into solid Yellow it's extremely important to learn Spiral Dynamics so one can explicitly see the whole Spiral at work in society.

@Matt8800 Thanks for the details responses. Do you have any sense of whether it's possible to materialize a physical object through pure Will? Like a marble or a coin? And what is it that prevents this? I'm still trying to figure out the precise connection between Will and physical manifestation. I know that God's Will manifests all of physical reality, but I'm not clear why I don't have access to change it, since I am God -- what prevents this access? Any insights on that? And have you had any experience tapping into and shifting collective consciousness? Like the consciousness of the entire human species? Healing the species as a whole, for example.

@Matt8800 I have some questions for ya: 1) Were you born with paranormal abilities? Did you have them from a very early age? If not, how did you develop them? 2) Do you believe that everyone can develop them? How do you account for the fact that most people have no paranormal experiences while paranormally gifted folks do? 3) How do you understand the relationship between awakening and the paranormal? Clearly you can have one without the other. But also, how are they related? 4) Why are some people so much more paranormally gifted than others? 5) What is your understanding of psychic healing? How does it work? What makes it work? Why is it not always 100% effective? What is required to develop this ability to an effective level? 6) List which paranormal abilities you've been able to personally validate and which ones not.

A revealing look into your psyche, eh?

@Annoynymous KRIYA YOGA!!!

Nothing would happen. I've gone for 5+ months without psychedelics. There is no backlash or dark night. I have to force myself to take psychedelics. I often forget they even exist.

@Bodigger The day your daughter's school gets shot up, you will change your mind. You are still treating all this as a mere abstraction. You aren't actually empathizing or feeling any of it.

When the river is the Amazon, you need a boat.

@ROOBIO It's hard to say which one to start with. More people report bad trips on DPT. If you can find 5-MeO then it's probably better because it's more benevolent and clearer. But DPT is easier to find since its not explicitly banned in most countries.

Psychedics are not required. However, I must be honest with you guys. Most of you are so lost in your minds and so unserious about doing concentration practices and/or yoga, that you will never grasp the deepest things I talk about without psychedelics. The psychedelics are recommended because you are not motivated enough to do the manual legwork. If you refuse the psychedelic path, you must work your ass off doing concentration practices and yoga. This dabbling bullshit does not work and you will waste years of time. Spirituality is the most hardcore pursuit that man can undertake. Start treating it as such. It will be worth it. Or just forget about spirituality and do basic self-help. You need to be very clear with your intent. What do you want? Do you really want Truth? If you do you should be willing to sell your mother into slavery to get it.

@EternalForest That's precisely why Truth cannot be captured with language. Because all language must first be Truth before you can use it.

It could, but I advise against such tactics as it will one day get you into hot water. People often redose too soon and end up getting in way over their head. I suggest plugging.

If you want serious answers to such questions then your best bet is to ask them on psychedilcs. Verbal answers will simply not help you.

@UDT What you're missing is the insight of no-self. The distinction between self/other is imaginary. So there are no individuals. This requires awakening. Yes, LSD was showing you that. But you are not taking the contemplation seriously enough. Ask all your doubts when you are on LSD.

In other words, you're a donkey.

Your logic here is so warped I don't even know where to begin. Why is it that self-inquiry or meditation cannot do the simplest thing like teach you to play the violin? Do you see how absurd your logic is? 1) Existential realizations have nothing to do with technical skill at manipulating the dream world. You are smart enough to know this. 2) No therapist will teach you how to play a violin. This example is just absurd. It does a disservice to serious therapists to promise such results from therapy. Objective reality is all your imagination. Whatever God imagines is reality. If God imagines a chemical system, that chemical system will behave precisely how God imagines it behaves. The standard of proof is very simple: take a breakthrough dose of psychedelic and you see all objective reality melt away. There are relative truths within every dream. And the dream itself is Absolute Truth. God is an Absolute. All possible dreams at once. - - - - - - - It would be wise of you to actually watch my videos and to be on this forum to learn and not just teach, because your awakening and understanding of what reality is, is still surface level. You are not conscious yet of God or Love, and many other important facets of the Absolute. Nor have you had a psychedelic breakthrough, given the arguments you make. You are hallucinating this entire conversation. You are hallucinating your therapist. You are hallucinating chemistry. And you are even hallucinating psychedelics. But you are NOT hallucinating God. You ARE God. The one who is hallucinating. All of your memories of having ever done psychotherapy are a hallucination. You're imagining it RIGHT NOW! Which is why it feels true. It's true because you (GOD) say it is.

Much much more.

Nice

Dark Souls?

@moon777light You have barely even begun to notice your self-bias. Self-bias is not about helping others. It's about cutting through your own bullshit.

For a caterpillar to become a butterfly, it must die.

Interesting

@Ero Yes, I was not really disagreeing with you. Just adding to it.
