    Read the book on Spiral Dynamics. These statements you are making are all talked about there. Yes you have many different vmemes in you but not all of them as much as the other.

    Yes but your beliefs/thoughts follow a certain pattern, if youre Stage Green you dont go hating homosexuals out of the blue (no pun intended). 

    You're suggesting that hating homosexuals is somehow a less "developed" worldview. It's a different  worldview than, say, a member of the LGBT community, but how can you, in your right mind say that it's less developed? (disclaimer: I am not expressing my personal opinion about homosexuality when I make this point.)

    Why do people say things like "he has a big ego"...who or what is that entity that the ego belongs to? Why not say "he is a big ego"? The former sentence creates duality, suggesting there is an ego along with an entity that "owns" it's ego. I know what you're going to say, he is really God/awareness/consciousness so the truth is "he"is not an ego at all, right? So what does that mean? That God has an ego?

    Society is composed of these individuals. You cant separate history/individual/society from eachother. 

    Yes you can. My beliefs, for example, are fluid and can change from day to day (even with the recognition that they are just beliefs). So I cannot be categorised as any particular colour. 

    It's so, so dumb, and actually @Leo Gura I am understanding Spiral Dynamics, and it's nonsense.

    I mean how do you explain someone who has traits of all the different "stages"? 

    I could literally go through all stages in a day.

    Maybe I'm a "rainbow person". o.O

    Heres a helpful way of thinking about

     

    Purple helped us survive in nature by banding together

    Red helped us get out of bands and start conquering the world

    Blue helped us makes laws and society

    Orange helped us with alot of problems that comes with society

    etc etc

     

    Now can you say that any of these were not useful or undeveloped? No

    But would you want to live in a tribe or be a nomad today? Hell no

    I can see how it's useful to describe societies at certain points in history, but not individuals.

    I am very humbled, again 9_9

    Sometimes I almost get overwhelmed by the amount of love I feel for you peeps. And I don't even know a thing about you. Except that you are all truth-junkies and some of the most loving and advanced (human) beings I ever incountered anywhere.

    Be sure to find yourselves in my future forms of art; in some way or fashion. I always express everything that is meaningful to me.

    Much respect. Thank you.

    The feeling's mutual, my friend,

    I just listened to the whole of Porcelain Safe -"Note to Self", and it is truly mind-blowing. I focused as much as I could, although it has a lot of complexity and nuance which is hard to grasp. It took me to some dark and beautiful places in my mind, and I had a mini-samadhi at one point. I also cried at one point (the start of part 3 I think, when you're doubting the significance of your creativity, which I can relate to). What a journey. :) 

    I stopped listening prematurely last time due to the uncomfortable outset, but I'm glad I gave it another go. 

    And yes, keep expressing your open heart and mind. We need more people like you in this world!

    (Oh and I'm sorry if my original post came across as a personal attack or judgment, wasn't meant that way)

    @Cepzeu You've seen many pictures of the world as a spherical organism right? So, although you haven't verified it's reality for yourself (say, by going into space) you can use your rational mind to deduce that in all likelihood this is the case. 

    To discount something completely because you don't have the direct experience is unwise. 

    I've talked about Near Death Experiences before, and I want to use that as an example: There are MILLIONS of NDE accounts that have been recorded in the last century alone, which suggest strongly that there is an afterlife. Now, the question is, do you believe the millions of people who report these experiences, or do you think they are making it up?

    If you believe they are making it up, then you are just like a flat-earther, who only trusts his own direct experience.

    Stage blue still has a considerable amount of irrationality about anthropomorphic gods, mythical thinking and an desire to own an objective universal morality based in literal interpretations of ancient scriptures. . Stage Green and Turquoise individuals have matured beyond this developmental stage.   

    Religion is not limited to stage blue. For example, there is a path to Turquoise Christ consciousness  via  Christianity. Yet, everyone who has reached that developmental level had previously developed through a blue stage,  

    Spiral dynamics is ridiculous status-chasing nonsense which reeks of ego. xD

    @EvilAngel In school systems it’s helpful to categorize children into “grades” as children. 8 yr. olds are placed in 2nd grade, 12 yr olds are placed in 6th grade. At an individual level, it woukd be silly to say that a 6th grade child is somehow “better” than the 2nd grade child. Yet at the social level, sometimes it’s helpful to create groups of children based on their developmental level. 

    I disagree that spirituality is a kind of linear continuum. I disagree that, for example, a Muslim or Mormon (apparently stage blue??) is at a lower developmental level. It's an incredibly facile way of looking at things,

    Someone answer me this please.

    What is wrong with the following?

    Being a normal person. Who has a normal job. Has a small group of friends. Lives within their means. Does not expect anything from anyone. Takes the rough with the smooth. Goes through life not causing anyone or anything any harm. Is just generally content with everything he or she has. Sure, has a few things that could be better, but doesn't fixate on them. Enjoys the little things in life (time spent with friends/family, going to the cinema, listening to music, cooking, nights in with the TV, walks in the country). Doesn't question everything about his or her reality. Generally tries to help others or bring a little joy to others' experiences. Likes to read and study. Only real desire is to love those closest to them. 

    This person is, 95% of the time, content, happy and grateful for the life they have. But they are still, what people on here would perceive as 'unconscious'. What makes these people, like the majority of people, lesser beings? 

    I was the above. Now I am questioning everything, more fatigued and anxious than ever. 

    What was wrong with my previous life, really?

    I know what you mean, Paul. I would love to go back to my previous life where I was unconscious yet happy. But do I really want that? It's like when Neo takes the red pill in the movie The Matrix. Things are not pretty in his new reality, but at least he is awake.

    There's a quote I read on this forum which I can't remember exactly but it goes something like "Happiness is a good dream. Misery is a nightmare. Enlightenment cuts through both."

    I've never identified as "codependent". I just read the description of co-dependency on psychcentral and it doesn't apply to me. I am a bit of a loner (I tend to value my independence, and am pretty picky with who I get involved with) so I don't have the experience in relationships. For me, there is much more pain in relationships than being on my own, so that's why I've stayed single most of my life. 

    I wouldn't know if I had codependent tendencies until I got into a long-term relationship.
