@MarkusSweden Buy the book! All the questions you need answered are there.

@White Yep, thats a work in progress, to see through your own perspective. I dont see it as a problem right now, but the Stages only go to the next level when they see that the one theyre on is untenable, that takes some work. Reality has a way of pushing you into a corner though.

think of it this way Disciple: Tell me the meaning! What am i? Zen Master: Seek and youll shall find Disciple: But But... Zen Master: Shhhhh

honestly, i misread your post the first time and wrote too fast, my edit was a bit weird, but yeah i agree, its a meme/thought process so

I agree : Blue doesnt have to be religious fundamentalist as long as they have an ideology. I disagree : Green is the evil of our time Its just a model remember?

@White No such thing as Brians! teasin

@White isnt he orange/GREEN though, orange wouldnt be so open to all the hippie-ish stuff that he is

Hes very clear and fun to read/listen and he has like 5 classic books.

@Quanty I see, ill make sure to not turn mine on when i use them, thanks for the heads up

Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream It is not dying, it is not dying Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void It is shining, it is shining That you may see the meaning of within It is being, it is being

@Quanty Really? What problems?

Cant knock Harrison either, especially All Things Must Pass, amazing record

i loled, but i understand

they will work for that, unless the people are screaming, how about you try them in a store? im sure youll be satisfied

where will you use them? if you want to cancel some street noise in your apartment then you dont need to turn them on

Bose Noise Cancellation Quiet Comfort, used them on an airplane once, didnt hear squat??

Youre not usually in one stage at all times, you have different amounts of color, you might be a little Blue alot Orange and some Green You can regress to lower stages, in the book it says you can descend if something traumatic happens but you wont progress backwards so to speak if youre mentally well.

Have you read Seth Godin? Good start

@White I speculate that if Red has a spiritual experience they are very likely to become religious, this can bring them up towards Blue. Think of the cliched drug addict on the street becomes a born-again.

@Ether Its clearly not just a model, see? Hes literally Orange

@Ether This site is called Actualized, not awakening.com, there are numerous topics to discuss here, who said that Spiral Dynamics will make you enlightened, noone, its a model for bettering yourself and the planet and for understanding.

@Ether dont know why it says @ether , ignore that just wanted to add a Green quote

@Sea I said im growing into Green, I havent dropped Orange completlely, and besides, I cant write my entire history in just one post, there are alot of nuances to it. You cant just start out where your parents are, an infant is Beige for example and then becomes purple/red from about 2-4. Lastly I live in Sweden, there are alot of Green thinking in our society that is influencing me.

We can do it out of curiousity, but its important to focus on the stages were personally at instead of getting ahead of ourselves, personally i have some work to do to even reach Stage Yellow
