@clouffy Green generally reduces the importance of productivity in favor of deepening relationships. This is not to say Green stops getting work done, but that macho desire to out-work all your competitors takes a back seat to building and enjoying relationships with human beings. So maybe rather than working overtime to publish 100 research papers, you devote more of your time to working one on one with your students and you become known as the most beloved professor by your students. Just an example. Remember, relationships can be powerful. Deep relationships can open many doors for you in life, so you may not have to work as hard. Then again, nothing wrong with work as long as it aligns with your values. Your work should be working towards embodying or spreading Green values. Then you'll be motivated. Instead of personal achievement and success, Green is more motivated to help people / environment. For example, I work a lot less than I used to when my center of gravity was Orange. Today I make a lot of time for chilling out, tripping, contemplation, and deepening my connection to God. This would be unthinkable to an Orange person. I still do work, but it happens more organically at a deeper level. There's less raw output, but more depth and enjoyment. I'm less neurotic about work. My sense of self is less identified with the quantity of work I do.

@clouffy You mean you want to talk about mystical topics in an academic setting? Hehe, that's a tough one. Academia is not generally open to that. Maybe you should reconsider being in academia. That's what I did. I have no desire to play their games. Then again, there certainly are ways to make it work.

@clouffy Be more specific if you want good advice.

How does one take a dump? Be careful not to use the no-free-will thing as an excuse for inaction. Clearly you can act, since you're doing it all day.

Haha! Talk about casting your pearls before swine! Funny how that works. You can't get a donkey to recognize himself in the mirror no matter how much you try. How do you explain to a donkey that he's God??? "Hey donkey, you're God!" Donkey: Watch out, he might bite you too! P.S. When a guy names his channel "Unspirituality", that's your clue.

I love them both. They have some unique pros and cons. But for this point in my journey, DPT hits the spot. Who knows what the future will bring.

@Solonius It is Conscious. Of course Infinity includes both sentience and non-sentience, as that is a duality and a distinction which God imagines. God's plan is Love and Goodness. Awaken deeply to get the confirmation. Logic nor science will be sufficient. It is beyond communication or language. The confirmation of the most advanced things I teach is always: awakening. There cannot be any other way. You cannot use some dumb mechanical means to realize God's plan.

Already answered in neighboring thread.

Both. Of course I've seen it happen. You just need to listen to more pundits opinions of her.

You are God! Yes, prayer works, but you must be conscious that you are praying to yourself. You also need to have a proper understanding of what "works" means in this context. Don't be praying for material stuff or the fulfillment of egoic needs. Pray for selflessness and unconditional love. Prayer for the end of your devilry.

Of course you cannot just drop your POV. This takes decades of deconstructive work and numerous mystical experiences. In practice, less than 0.001% of the human population will ever discover the mind of God and cause of all Creation. Because they simply don't care enough to discover it.

From your POV that cannot be understood. Drop your POV. Love = selflessness. How can you understand it if your entire worldview is built around surviving as a self? Darkness cannot understand light. A devil cannot understand God.

@mindcentral It would probably be much less effective and dirtier. Syringe is clean and easy.

Horrible is a judgment you're making. Horror is a projection of your mind. All acts that happen in the universe happen out of Love. But you cannot see it because you are being too selfish.

Amazingly numerical infinities have various sizes. Watch the video, Understanding Absolute Infinity - Part 2, where the work of Georg Cantor is explained. Absolute Infinity is not the same as a numerical infinity. Absolute Infinity doesn't have a size. It is simply reality itself.

The universe is not indifferent. But also the universe has much bigger plans than merely keeping every being physically safe. The universe prioritzes freedom above physical safety. The reason you're not understanding it is because you're trying to understand the selfless mind of God using your selfish mind. That cannot work. Your view of death and suffering is biased by the ego's hatred and fear of both. God doesn't hate, so this is not part of God's ultimate design. To understand God you must stop hating and fearing things.

@Captain black1 Cetainly Marx made some important intellectual contributions.

@Synchronicity You need to study developmental psychology and politics deeper. There are stages to moral, cognitive, and spiritual development. These stages are consistent across people around the world. Absolutistic worldviews are lower than relativistic ones. With development, an absolutistic person will evolve into a relativistic one, but not vice versa. No amount to growth will turn a relativistic person into an absolutist, or a systems thinker into a black and white thinker. These are not just my opinions. This is scientific research from within developmental psychology. Study it, if you care to understand.

@Synchronicity But they are not equal. The conservative value set is lower consciousness. A conservative's sense of self is denser and fear greater. A conservative's cognitive and moral development are objectively lower and less truthful. Be careful with false equivalencies and splitting all issues down the middle. The mid point between slavery and anti-slavery is still backwards. None of this makes liberals immune to ignorance or self-deception. But relative to conservatives they are 1 stage higher. Note: remember, these are relative evaluations, not absolute. Spiral Dynamics is a relative model. But politics is a relative matter so it fits.

Be careful with that app, you will be exploited by Russian hackers: https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/security/a28424868/faceapp-challenge-security-risks/

All deep awakening is rude awakening. The devil does not take kindly to being roused from his slumber Of course psychedelics will stir up shadow material. That is the whole point! That's how they cataylize growth: by sticking your face in your own shit. This is not a maybe, this is gauranteed. Which is why we advise low to moderate doses and a careful approach.

I notice you guys still have not penetrated (excuse the pun) the issue of survival as talked about in my 2 part survival series. Stuff like using sex for pleasure is still survival! Survival is not just about making babies. Survival is about maintaining your self. The desire for intimacy, romance, and companionship is all survival. If a thing in life has any importance to you, you can be sure it's tied to your survival in some elaborate way. If a thing was irrelevant to your survival, you would not be talking about it, much less having a strong opinion about it. Opinions and emotions are survival.

Realize this: one vs many it itself a duality. Reality is one. Reality is many. It's both. There is no difference between the two. And there is a difference between the two. Depending on your POV. Is a dozen eggs one, or many? Notice the role of relativity in these kinds of questions.

I am not stating my views. I am explaining how the culture holds sexuality. Of course my explanation is stage Blue/Orange because that's what our culture mostly is. If you wish to transcend this Blue/Orange stage we first need to be honest about it and understand it. Many people want to jump to stage Green love without fully understanding that sex & "love" are survival strategies. And then of course these same Green people end up having terrible relationships and much sex which ends in misery. That's because they fooled themselves into calling their selfish survival strategies "love". "love" is very tricky. The devil co-opts love so easily.
