@Merch Look at the coffee table, then blink your eyes and notice it disappears. So obviously it only exists for you, in your mind. The coffee table must be entangled with your mind otherwise your blinking would not alter it in any way. If you are not the coffee table how is it possible that you perceieve it? Perhaps a better question for you to ponder is: prove that you are a body. I dare ya

Many stage Red dictators and warlords still believe in God. Often they conflate their own ego with God.

Great source @111111 Mostly though you're gonna have to settle for watching/listening to a lot of Blue/Orange/Green sources and coming to your own conclusions. Yellow is about exploring lots of different POVs. Don't expect any Yellow news sources. Too early in our evolution for that. It doesn't sell and it cannot become mainstream or popular yet.

If you were at stage Blue or Orange, for example, you would not pick higher stage values because you know they are "right" because the whole point of being at a stage is that you think that stage is right. A Blue person will resonate with traditional values no matter how much you tell him that dogma, conformity, ideology, and ethnocentrism are not "right". That's what it means to be at Blue. And likewise for the other stages. You can't really fake your stage. Whatever you resonate with or gravitate towards genuinely is what defines your stage. If you genuinely gravitate towards integrating many perspectives from across the world then that by definition makes you as least Greenish, if not Yellowish. Of course you probably still have lots of work to do to fully exhaust and transcend Orange. There is a big difference between dabbling in a stage vs fully mastering and realizing a stage's limitations. A lot of people can dabble in Green & Yellow without having fully exhausted Orange. Whatever stage you are at, you also have 25% of the stage below it, and 25% of the stage above it. So if you feel you are Orange, you probably have 25% Blue and 25% Green. That's what being Orange really means. It does not mean you are 100% Orange but only 50% Orange. Likewise, the typical Green person has 25% Orange and 25% Yellow. And so on. Almost no body is solidly one color. Don't expect people or collectives to be 100% anything.

Fairly accurate

@SoonHei The bottom line is that it takes lots of mindfulness pratice and multiple awakenings. The more you do the work more no-mind you will experience. At first it will be only seconds at a time, but with more practice it will turn into minutes, and then hours. Kriya yoga is very good for attaining no-mind. It will speed up your progess a lot. You can also specifically train mindfulness during busy work. Start by doing walking meditation. The try to meditate while driving, while doing the dishes, while out in public, and even inside of conversations. All of this will take a few years at least. Attaining stable no-mind is not easy at all. It is a very advanced stage of practice and I am certaibly not there after 5 years of meditation and other kinds of work. But I am getting closer. Just lately I made a significant step towards no-mind and I can see that it will come with years more of practice. It's worth the work.

1) It is especially important to emphasize that identity is relative because people generally believe identity is a physical fact. Like, a cat is a cat. No, a cat is a cat only TO YOU. The universe at large draws no such distinctions. And very importantly that means that your identity as a human being is relative. It is not absolutely true. Yes, if you truly understood that everything is relative you would also understand that identity is relative, but it helps to emphasize the point. 2) All Actualized.org videos are basically about dialing in your inner game.

Masculine compassion is not about using mean language. It is about enforcing necessary boundaries and facing harsh truths. Being mean is just being an egoic dick. Congratz on your ceremony.

That "dog" is you.

@bejapuskas Most people in their teens and even 20's are very immature and undeveloped. There's a good reason why rental car companies won't rent you a car unless you are over 25. I would not coach someone under 25. The maturity just isn't there.

Uploading a 2 hour+ episode. It will be 6-12 hours late.

Depends on how mature you are. I have no problem with it, but many of you might freak out too much.

There is a big difference between the rate at which people who follow Actualized.org grow and the general population. If you watch me and you do many of the techniques I talk about you will grow by a stage every 2 years or so. But his Orange friends aren't doing that. They don't even know about Spiral Dynamics and they don't care about what Actualized.org teaches. Just to be interested in Actualized.org you must already be a pretty rare type of person.

5-MeO basically has no tolerance so you could do back to back doses. The real issue is whether you'd actually want to redose. 10mg is a good starting dose for snorting/plugging. 5mg is too little unless you are smoking it. 10mg snorted will freak you out enough that you probably won't want to redose that day. Even 10mg if its your first time can be very shocking. For me 5-MeO trips tend to be so deep that I would never want to redose same day. I would plan it like this: Day 1: 10-12mg Day 2: 15-20mg Day 3: 25mg A week later: 30mg Even that will be emotionally challenging to pull off. After my 30mg dose I didn't want to do 5-MeO for a whole year. That's how strong it is. I still have no desire to do a 30mg dose. At 30mg your life as a human being is over.

@Seed What would you say is the root cause of this? Have you been working too hard? Sounds like you might need to slow things down and take more time for yourself, for fun. When doing highly creative work you need some outlets for breaks and diversion to recharge your batteries. Like take a small vacation every 90 days.

Try making at least one new friend who is beyond stage Orange. Then compare and see if you want more of that. It's pretty important to make at least one Yellow/Turquoise friend. You won't really be able to drag an Orange person higher. They have to evolve into it on their own, and I wouldn't count on it happening for at least 10 years. And even then, Green is not that advanced.

There is value in talking about it so as to point out all the traps, explain the techniques, clear up egoic confusion, and inspire/motivate people into action. But philosophizing, speculating, or debating about nonduality is counter-productive.

@Macooda I don't see why not. Most things can be snorted. Might burn though. Plugging should be painless and actually less messy. Tripping with snot running down your face isn't fun.

It is revealed during enlightenment / awakening. Depending on how deep your awakening is. I'm not sure about the Absolute's intentions. I just know the Absolute is Infinity.

Predetermined vs not predetermined is just another duality. All of that collapses in the end. It is mystical. Since you are God, every action you take is basically an act of God. Whatever you end up doing is God's unfoldment -- what God is. And God is EVERYTHING. It doesn't really make sense to ask "Who did X?" because there is only one thing in existence ultimately: YOU/Consciousness/God/Reality

@Alex14 You don't need me once you're on mushrooms. Watching videos on mushrooms would be counter-productive, like watching porn while having sex.

@archi Personally I would not trust a neurofeedback device under $1000. It's just not going to be sensitive or sophisticated enough. $2k-$3k range is great. You don't need anything more expensive.
