Eternal is just the realization that time is a concept. Eternal means: outside of time. As Einstein correctly explained, time does not really exist. Time is a relative measure of motion and distance. If the entire universe stood still, it would be impossible to tell what time it is. We can only measure time through motion. Every moment is in fact eternal. Since past and future are just imagination, they do not actually exist. When you look at a clock, realize, it is not actually measuring anything. It is merely a spinning object. In fact, all measurement is imaginary. It's a story we made up. Measurement tells you absolutely nothing about reality. It's just a relative ratio of two arbitrary things.

You can become conscious of why everything appears to exist and why it functions as it does. A full consciousness of God is the answer to all existential why questions. It's a very very very satisfying answer. The answer is non-verbal. Your understanding becomes TOTAL. No more questions about life remain. Everything is perfectly clear. You become literally omniscient, but this omniscience is non-verbal. You could never verbalize it.

Yes, it is part of Yellow, but there is even higher stuff beyond vision-logic.

@Good-boy That's very handy for when you go hiking, so a mountain lion doesn't sneak up behind you

See video: Concentration vs Meditation

I mentioned many countries and places in the example lists in my Spiral Dynamics mini-series. 1st world countries are mostly Orange and above. 3rd world countries are mostly Blue and below. Northern Europe is Greenest. A lot of the Middle East and Africa is Purple/Red. A lot of South America is Red/Blue. Major cities are usually 1 or 2 levels higher than nearby rural areas.

Like the title said, "for smart people"

If it works for you, what does it matter what I think? I mostly don't care for weed because I can access more powerful, more direct tools. Why use a BB gun when you can use a rocket launcher?

@joeyi99 I suffer from that same problem. I tend to go overboard with variety of technique. At some point you'll want to pick a thing and drive it home. If I was forced to pick one thing, it would be Kriya yoga. Because it has a strong physiological component, which I think it important, especially if you have lots of monkey mind.

@joeyi99 That's very tricky. It depends a lot on you. You need to find a technique you're happy with and then hit it hard. There is a trade-off between dabbling vs getting stuck. The more techniques you try, the more risk of dabbling. The less techniques you try, the more risk of getting stuck. I've met people who meditated for 20 years but still weren't enlightened. They got stuck.

Some good questions. Yeah, if you guys want to post your questions here, I might pick some for part 2. Part 2 hasn't been shot yet. Make your questions good. Make them about God itself, not meditation technique or other aspects of spiritual practice. In practice, one experience of God is almost never enough. One experience of God will likely leave you more confused than zero experience of God. God is just too big to grasp it all at once. You'd probably faint if that happened. It took me maybe 10-15 separate breakthrough experiences to get a solid understanding of it. But eventually your goal is to make it a permanent state of consciousness, called Sahaja Samadhi, where you are conscious of God 24/7. This is called the stateless state.

@AlphaAbundance Why are you confusing me with a stone?

Infinity! You're not getting it. It is EVERYTHING!

It's absolutely infinite. This is what infinity looks like. You're not getting it yet. Try some 5-MeO-DMT

Hoes are waiting for you right here, right now. You're in paradise already. You just need the eyes to see it. The devil, in his arrogance and ignorance, creates his own hell right in the middle of paradise and then wonders how God could be so cruel.

@AlphaAbundance Death will just bring you right back here. There is nowhere to go. Nothingness is not somewhere else. It is HERE and NOW! If you physically kill yourself, all that will happen is you will change forms into something else. But you will still be here: nowhere, nowhen, nothing, now. You cannot escape yourself. Ever. Think of it this way: you've already killed yourself a million times. Which brought you to this life you're in right now.

Their hotness actually plays a fairly important role. A hot girl has enormous value to men. Men know it and she knows it. And she will use that to up her survival (as any living creature would). Getting 5's, 6's, and 7's is pretty straight forward. But if you want to date 8's and 9's, you gotta bring some serious value to the table. Hotness comes with a price. Hotness ain't free. As far as 10's, forget about it. Not even worth thinking about. Handling 9's and 10's is not gonna be worth your time most likely. They can be really high maintenance and have spoiled rotten materialistic souls. The best way to land 9's and 10's is to become famous. So your social value is obvious and glaring it's never in question that you are the prize and she's be lucky to be in your presence. Fame is an awesome dating strategy and can tie in nicely with your LP. For example, if you're a famous author, you should have no problem getting laid from social events and book signings. Just be careful not to abuse it.

@Moondog Don't look for explanations of such things. Just keep doing your practice and enjoy it. There's nothing to explain. "Stuff" will arise and pass away. Various mystical states will happen many times in various ways. Spiritual phenomena will come and go. Be careful not to project too much meaning into it. Take it at face value as phenomena.

A way that should work is success-oriented self-help. Nothing spiritual or nondual or New Agey or metaphysical. Just pure techniques for being more successful at everyday life. Secular advice, like a book about how to earn more money or a book on how to be more charismatic. Perhaps a book on history, biography, or popular science. That kind of stuff. A person who's in high Blue should show an interest in the above.

That's a big investment to make with significant risk of failure. I recommend that you first thoroughly research your market to make sure that what you're gonna be selling will actually sell. You must research all such similar apps and see how your app could compete. You need to have a solid, realistic plan for how you're gonna make that money back. Hiring a developer is pretty easy. Sites like Guru.com and Upwork.com allow you to hire developers from around the world at affordable rates. The biggest mistake new entrepreneurs make is that they fail to properly test their idea before launching it, only to hear the sound of crickets as no one even knows your product exists. You must have a realistic marketing strategy. How are people going to find your app? A good product alone is not enough. Developing the app itself is the easiest part of your plan. Marketing the app is the hard part. How much will you charge and who's gonna buy it? Will it really be useful to people? Will it be unique enough to get word-of-mouth recommendations? How are you gonna get your first 100 sales? Who is your target audience? What needs do they have which aren't already being served? How will your app compete against other apps like OneNote and EverNote? As an entrepreneur it's your job to solve all those questions. If you're gonna be in the app-making business, you need to carefully study the app marketplace. Which apps sell? Which apps flop? Which parts of the market are saturated? Which parts of the market aren't? How much money can you expect to make? How are successful apps marketed? etc.

I wouldn't go that far. I have no idea. You tell me. It's hard to quantify it like that. I don't measure my investigations into topics in hours. But I've probably spent 50-100 hours studying Spiral Dynamics. That's probably what it takes to have a solid grasp of it. Embodiment is a whole nother matter. That could take decades.

@Emerald Good work!

Kriya yoga Also you might want to consider EEG brain training / neurofeedback therapy. It can be very effective for ADHD. Find a local provider. Search Yelp for something like this near you: https://www.yelp.com/biz/sierra-eeg-neurofeedback-therapy-grass-valley Binaural beats can also be helpful to jump start your meditation.

My pleasure

They don't care how much sex you have, nor will they ever know. But what they do care about is that you have some value as a man. To a woman, value in a man is his survival value to her. A valuable man usually acts confident, witty, easy-going, leader in his pack of friends, outgoing, charismatic, takes initiative, knows what he wants, passionate about his life, has a clear sense of direction in life, has a decent job, a results-maker, the boss, etc. The girl needs to feel that YOU are the prize. If you feel that she is the prize, she's basically out of your league and she knows it and so she won't get attracted to you. Guys who are surrounded by lots of friends, who are the hub of their social network, have high value to a girl. She will find such a guy much more attractive than a loner because girls are social creatures and love to leech off social networks. That's a big part of their survival strategy. To get the hottest girls you need to build a lot of social value. It's a full-time job. Having lots of friends who are girls are a great way to get girls interested in you. That's like the epitome of social proof. The more hot girls are around, the more will flock to you. Just like earning money. Winner takes all, loser ends up getting scraps. Being famous is the best way to have social value. Which is why rockstars, DJ's, and celebrities get laid the most. Girls love a guy who has some solid social status which everyone recognizes. With all that said, you don't need any social value to get a girl. It's mostly only necessary if you want to land the hottest girls, the top 5%. Ordinary girls will settle for much less. To attract an ordinary girl all you need is some confidence, humor, and decent conversation skills. All of which can be trained up.
