  1. You are best off teaching yourself Yellow and above through independent study. You will learn more through independent study than in a university. Take responsibility for educating yourself. This becomes necessary if you want to grow beyond the center of gravity of your society/culture. Read 100 good books around this topic and you will be wiser than 99% of university professors. And you won't have to go $100,000 into debt to do it. In a sense, these days, universities are looking more and more like scam. It's not worth the price of admission when you can achieve better results by yourself at 5% of the cost. You just have to be self-driven and passionate about learning/truth. If you read and carefully integrate the 200 books on my book list you will have a deeper understanding of reality than 99.999% of people. And I'll be adding more books soon.
  2. Lol! OF COURSE you don't like the idea of being Green. Which is precisely the obstacle which keeps you from the higher stages. You cannot get to Yellow unless you first fully appreciate the beauty, value, and joy of Green. Green is still your shadow which you have not yet explored and integrated because you are prejudiced against it. Of course you want to jump right over it into Yellow. But that would be too easy and you would miss the important lessons which you deny at Green. That is not Green. That's your biased interpretation of Green based off watching too much Youtube stage Orange prejudice against Green. That prejudice has infected your mind to the point where you cannot see Green clearly. Watch out for people on Youtube who demonize and strawman Green, not having themselves risen to Green's level of self-awareness. You have to be very careful to distinguish critiques of Green from below vs from above. Green does have some legit critiques against it, but NOT the stage Orange critiques from below like those of Jordan Peterson, Sargon, Sam Harris, Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, PragerU, Stefan Molyneux, the alt-right, Red Pill, MGTOW, incels, anti-SJWs, etc. Those are all critiques of Green from below. Stage Yellow analysis is virtually non-existent on Youtube so you don't even know what it looks or sounds like.
  3. It sounds like you are making progress. Just remind yourself that progress is not linear. Yes, it can be very difficult to find financial independence. Then again, college degress count for very little and there are always interesting job opporunities available. Be creative, think outside the job, explore new avenues, keep an open mind, and cultivate hope. You don't need to know HOW you will resolve all this, just trust that you will. The details will get sorted out in the process of doing it, not beforehand.
  4. What amazes me is how scientifically-minded people can be so ignorant of the limits of science. The irony is that it is highly unscientific to claim that everything can be explained by science.
  5. Sargon is Orange, not Yellow.
  6. It's not thought which is the problem so much as self-referential thought. Practical thoughts like: "Hungry, need to buy groceries" is no problem and necessary. Problematic thoughts are like: "Why did I screw this up again? I'm always this way. I have been bad my whole life." Etc. These are the kind of thoughts to eliminate or let go of. These kind of thoughts reinforce the narrative of the ego self. They assume a biographical self which is an illusion.
  7. @SQAAD By this logic maybe you should wipe your ass with your hands, since that is the "natural" way.
  8. They work on a small scale. They do not work without mainstream society enabling it. They also do not work as a mainstream society itself because not enough people are that developed/conscious. Mainstream society needs hundreds more years of development to get there. Mainsteam society IS THE spiritual community. It just happens to be at a very low level of spirituality today, like 3%.
  9. @tecladocasio Dude, humble yourself. You talking about things you don't grasp. Your bullshit doesn't fly here.
  10. No! You guys still do not understand distinctions. Distinctions are NOT mind made! Distinctions are NOT concepts nor thoughts! Mind is a distinction. Made is a distinction. Concept is a distinction. Thought is a distinction. Enlightenment/nonduality does not eliminate distinctions. Elimination is itself a distinction! Instead, you just become conscious what the true nature of a distinction is. So, what is a distinction? You have no idea. Contemplate. Maybe it's not anything
  11. Just? Lol Yeah, it's only EVERYTHING! From the way you speak, sure sounds like you're missing love.
  12. If you are going to trip you need to learn how to boost yourself out of negative states. You can proactively shift states at any time, rather than having them control you. Practice causing yourself to feel happy, excited, confident, calm, loving, etc. Practice shifting state.
  13. Peace is an Absolute. It is present even in the middle of a battlefield. If you are aware enough to notice it.
  14. The purpose of any emotion is to create behaviors necessary for the ego's survival. Mind you, I said ego's survival, not the body's survival. It's a preemptive defense mechanism, so that you end up getting what you want.
  15. @GroovyGuru If it bothers you so much you aren't ready.
  16. The astounding thing is that understanding is possible. Everything can be understood.
  17. @Key Elements I don't know what you're saying. That psychedelics are somehow wrong? If so, then you need more experience with them.
  18. What is understanding? is a very profound question indeed.
  19. Except something IS nothing! The whole point is that nothing does in fact exist. His logic fails.
  20. @XYZ Nice try devil, but you still don't know it, you're just pretending like you know it so that you can continue being a devil whilst thinking you are an angel. Think of devilry like an onion. Many layers to it and it stinks and makes people cry
  21. @KP_Spirituality27 You don't need to be enlightened to answer that question. Just look at enlightened people throughout history. Did they continue having sex? YES! YES! YES! How could they have sex if they did not desire it? You can figure this stuff out through simple deduction.
