Subjective vs objective is a duality. Reality is nondual. Anything you could say about nonduality would be false, as all thought and speech is based on dualistic divisions like subjective vs objective, real vs unreal, existence vs non-existence, big vs small, matter vs mind, dual vs nondual, etc. Truth escapes all attempts to encapulate it.

Love is being itself. Like the physical building blocks of reality. But this cannot be seen while through the cloud of smog of the ego. You have to die to see that all is love. Ego is incapable of such love. Only with death does it come.

@isabel Mystical experiences are not permanent awakening. Mystical experiences are nice, but you need to go deeper, beyond experience to Truth itself, which is not an experience or a state. There are many depths to how awakened you can be. So always keep boring deeper and deeper. For an awakening to stick, the illusion of self needs to be thoroughly decontructed. It's very common to keep falling back into the illusion because you still haven't fully deconstructed it.

This is how self-actualizers walk

Infinite being and love are identical.

Don't take Western philosophy too seriously. All of Western philosophy is basically delusion. There is not such thing as no consciousness. Only consciousness exists. If there were zombies, they would be made out of consciousness.

What is your LP currently? Life purpose is supposed to be the most meaningful thing you find in life. If that is consciousness, then align your LP with that somehow.

@MM1988 Don't think of it as "doing work". Think of it as the entire purpose of being alive: to grow. Life is a virtual reality consciousness evolution simulator. Welcome to life!

Folks! Before posting examples here, thinking twice about whether your video is actually Yellow.

It will take you guys several years of work just to realize how significant and profound Spiral Dynamics is. A pig cannot appreciate a pearl.

Which are you most excited about the prospect of doing? What lights you up? Start there!

I would put Sasha Shulgin & Graham Hancock at Yellow and even a bit of Turquoise. They are quite evolved human beings.

Locking down these politically charged threads as they are just a juicy red herring. Back to the self-inquiry salt mines!

Just even using the word "incel" is absurd.

I have a hunch this topic will veer in an ugly direction. Sorry. I know your intention was good, but let's not focus on political issues too much here. Notice how every political topic turns into the ego-mind justify its rightness. This is self-bias 101. The point of our work here with self-actualization is to become hyper aware of our own self-biases and put an end to them, rather than feeding them, the way political discussions usually do. Notice that 99% of what your mind thinking is self-agenda unfolding. Try to find a single thought you had today which wasn't related to advancing your survival. Watch yourself like a hawk. Nothing out of your mind is to be trusted as valid, truthful, or fair.

@Elisabeth There are stages if you learn how to apply the model. It takes study and care to apply it properly. Many people are stuck in Blue, Orange, and Green. And SD is good for showing you how to evolve up.

That's right. Spiral Dynamics does not map mysticism. Mysticism is way beyond Spiral Dynamics. Spiral Dynamics is talking about trends within the evolution of human culture and value systems. The problem with SD is that its inventors were not themselves mystics. So the model doesn't account well for mysticism. Ken Wilber is a mystic. So he has his own models which are similar to SD but which also account a bit more for nonduality. As I will say in the next video, once you reach Yellow, your goal should really be enlightenment, not Turquoise or SD. Break free of the entire cycle of life and death. Put all this nonsense monkey-business to rest. As good as Don Beck may think SD is for solving world problems, in the end, all world problems are just a hallucination. SD is ultimately Maya. Of which you must break free.

You guys with this Red Pill stuff... sigh... it's just garbage. It does not even warrant rebuttal. Reason, logic, and "scientific facts" are just being weaponized here to serve the ego's agenda. It's really just that simple. BTW, all politics is identity politics! That's the whole point of politics: to promote the survival of your identity. There is no truth or love or fairness in politics. It's self-survival 101. In the future I may start shutting down threads about JP's politics and all this incel talk. It is a distraction from actual self-actualization work. If you want to improve with women, go socialize with women. It's just that simple. Filling your mind with Red Pill theory or JP lectures will not get you laid. It will just make you bitter.

@Self Discovery Excellent work!

@How to be wise Nonduality transcends all models. Sadhguru is dead. He does not exist. He is infinite.
