@AMS Awesome work! Sounds like fun I'm pretty sure this is how our ancestors, like the ancient Egyptian preists might have done it, but for much longer periods of time. Imagine spending a whole year inside a locked tomb. You will get some crazy spiritual insights that way. It's the simplest spiritual technology imaginable.

@dynamics No, hate can exist at any stage.

Take a large enough dose that you have no choice All fear is fear of ego-death. There is no exception. All fear is illusion. But you won't know that until you're dead Mushrooms probably not the best substance for you if you're the fearful sort. AL-LAD or LSD would be better. 5-MeO would be great so you can get the ego-death out of the way in 5 minutes and enjoy life without ego for a while. The only way to really beat fear is to face it. By not facing it you reinforce its reality. But easier daid than done. So take it at your own pace. 1.5g of mushrooms shouldn't be scary at all. They are quite fun at that dose. But if you go into it expecting the worst, you might get it. You gotta always do psychedelics in a chipper mood. If you feeling bad, don't do them till you feel good. Learn how to control your state and pump yourself up a bit.

@SeanD Lopsided development is common. Yes, these days you can get indoctrinated into Green without properly integrating Orange or Blue. You gotta find the holes in your development and fill them. If you're lacking in Orange, starting your own biz is one of the best ways I know how to fix that. You will grow enormously and learn just how necessary and important Orange values are.

@Arkandeus Indeed. We'll cover evolution in a future episode. It will be a juicy one.

A very common problem for Green. Green becomes so self-righteous it's unable to see the absolute necessity of all the lower stages. Best solution would be to hand Green a gift of a Spiral Dynamics book. Just reading the book can be enough to awaken Green into Yellow. Or at least early stages of Yellow. Those people have failed to fully integrate Blue and Orange. They sorta skiped over it to arrive at Green faster, but it's a flimsy and dysfunctional Green now for that reason.

The paradox is that I didn't start it

Nice!

I'll try, but it's like loving a skunk

It is the nature of Blue consciousness that it cannot fathom or admit of unity between man and God. Blue views God as a supreme authority figure, which must be situated at the top of a heirarchy. So Blue cannot fathom how man and God are identical. Blue cannot fathom paradox or the notion of strangeloops (tangled-hierarchies). So of course most Muslims will deny that man is God. Because they are practing Islam in an absolutist, ideological, Blue form. Islam at higher colors has no problem with this. Blue cannot fathom nonduality or mysticism. Not even intellectually, let alone experientially. This is not exclusive to Islam. Blue Christians and Blue Buddhists also cannot fathom how they can be Christ or Buddha. Blue sees such talk as blasphemy, disrespect of authority. But in truth, the only authority is God, and you are it. So you are just worshipping yourself

Consciousness happens most when you are in a relaxed state. Hence, do nothing. But there is a big difference between doing do-nothing, and actually doing nothing. Doing do-nothing is still a doing. Hence you can be more conscious when you stop trying to meditate. But if you are trying to stop meditating, that is a new doing. You must not try to not try

@Zweistein I was loving him just yesterday It's a good exercise for the mind, like bench pressing 300lbs.

@intrastellar Awaken to Green and see. You cannot get to Green through logic. Takes heart.

I appreciate your self-honesty

That's Green.

@intrastellar They are relativistic absolutely, not relativistically Careful not to let your own Spiral level cloud your vision Green has not yet awoken to Yellow. If it did, we'd be calling it Yellow instead of Green

@john23 In the meantime, other psychedelics are still quite mindblowing. Particularly LSD. You can easily spend a few years just working with LSD, mining out a ton of profound insights and getting lots of growth. Those of you looking for 5-MeO, that's great. But don't neglect other psychedelics. It's like going to the zoo to see the lions. If you can't find the lions, the monkey exhibit is still damn cool

@herghly I have not.

@TylerJ It helps to go be around Green people. Psychedelics can also help open you up emotionally. Like MDMA. Maybe go do an ayahausca retreat with a good shaman. Or find a Green girl you can love.

Because I have had direct consciousness of God/Allah/Buddha/Absolute/Infinity/Shiva. You can too. Then you will understand, in the same way that you have no doubt what a banana is, cause you've tasted one. You can easily identify a true description of a banana, no matter which words are used. But only if you've seen and tasted a real banana first.

@herghly The extraction process will require some chemistry. Snorting unextracted yopo will be lots of pain. Yopo is mostly Bufotinin, not 5-MeO-DMT. Bufotinin is quite different from 5-MeO. People say it has a high body load, more visual, less consciousness expanding. Extraction of yopo destroys all the 5-MeO.

@S33K3R How long was your longest retreat in the dark?

IQ can be valid as a narrow individual satistical meteric. Just don't confuse it with intelligence, in the same way that you shouldn't confuse a football score with athletic skill, or an Oscar with acting ability, or GDP with a country's level of success. Lead seems to definitely hurt mental development and make people dysfunctional.

Well, that's true of everyone here, and Actualized.org as a whole. Every cultural movement is a product of its time. I think the value of Tesla is not in the cars themselves, but in the battery technology and the proof of concept. Clearly in 50 years, most of our cars will be electric. Which will be awesome! P.S. For an orange, you're very Green. Might be time to change your avatar to a kiwi

Gerrymandering: the epitome of Orange's value of creative manipulation.
