Enlightenment certainly does not obviate stage development. Ken Wilber is right to stress this point.

Not all valuable things are built bit by bit. Your main things like career can be worked on 8hrs+ per day. If you are working hours at a time on a thing you can create some amazing results within just 2-4 years. But other things require a slower development time with less hours. Also, I recommend you don't be too rigid about all this. I have rarely ever followed some strict schedule where I only work on one thing between the hours of X-Y for Z years. It tends to be much more messy and organic in practice.

Even then the mind is pure. It takes a good 10-20 years to brainwash people. -

Everyone starts life with a pure mind. -

What happens with the solipsism thing is that you spend a lot of time in denial about it. Then you feel depressed and bothered by it. And then eventually you become so conscious you stop even thinking about it and just enjoy being conscious. Ruminating about the downsides of solipsism is a kind of delusion which you must transcend. Nothing about GOD can be bad. That's AWAKENING. -
Scientists are like women, can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em
-
Sorry to hear. Take it easy for a while.
-
It's an interesting perspective. But here's another: Don't pander to women. Focus on your life purpose.
-
I would tell all scientists do die, but I don't want to dignify that any of them exist in the first place

That's personal baggage you gotta process and get out of your system.

That's what the inner game aspect of pickup is.

Yes

Don't get too violent.

I know what you're talking about. I had that sort of panic reaction the first time I tried 5-MeO-DMT. It's a panic response. You need to learn to control your mind, relax, and stay calm during a trip. If you let your mind run wild you will start to panic and devolve into all sorts of madness. Obviously the larger the dose the more likely you are to panic and lose control of your mind. We've all made that mistake more than once. Haha

Yes. Contemplation can involve speculation. But contemplation is more about generating insights whereas speculation is more like imagining random nifty scenarios. Speculation is more like a brainstorm that isn't grounded in anything.
-
That's a tricky question because it depends on how you define feelings vs intuition. If you regard intuition as just a feeling than yes. But usually feelings are a lot more than intuition, and intuition is something more sophisticated than just some run of the mill feelings.
-
I don't really see what you're asking. You can ask the same question many times and get many different insights and depths of answer. So it's not a waste of time. Sometimes you gotta questions your answers more and more. Sometimes the answer is already good enough. It just depends. The quality and clarity of your answers will vary. Sometimes the answers will be good enough but most of the time they will be vague and unclear, or even wrong.

This just sounds so wrong. If you don't respect them so much then why are you there at all? It's you who's coming off like a creeper here. Those folks are just trying to help themselves and you are lurking in the shadows like a vampire.

I don't know of any Jung model that is better than Spiral Dynamics.

I'm pretty sure a gun kills 6ft people as easily as it kills 5ft people.
-
I do see wisdom in it, especially Jung. It's just not relevant to this topic.
-
I have talked to somewhere close to 5000 girls. I have never been in a fight.

Off the top of my head I cannot think of any philosopher who understands reality better than Ken Wilber other than me. No one has suggested you only use one model. There's room for dozens of models. But I have not seen anything within Nietzche or Jung that is remotely as accurate and useful as Spiral Dynamics.
