why is nobody interested in spiral dynamics?
why is nobody interested in spiral dynamics?It's too abstract, complex, and intellectual for most normies to care about.
It's a model for serious students of this work, not dabblers.

Spiral Dynamics - Transcend and Include?
Spiral Dynamics - Transcend and Include?I explain it to myself like this:
1) The Green value system can easily be turned into an ideology without properly building up to it. You can just get programmed by the value system via your environment without growing into it yourself through inner work. This creates a flakey veneer of Green. In this case it might be a Green ideology which is almost as though adopted by stage Blue like people.
2) Green is a deep stage with lots to master and integrate. Most people who are "Green" aren't solid Green. They are dabblers.
3) It's easy to talk Green and believe Green while not having a solid foundation in Blue & Orange because someone else pays your bills. To truly lock down Green requires going off on your own and building a quality life. Which will necessitate exploration and mastery of Blue and Orange. I think many college kids are missing this.

Feeling cold on psychedelics
Feeling cold on psychedelicsDoes anyone experience this?
It always happens to me with Lsd: I start the day and session after having eaten very little, e.g., an apple, and feel super cold for the first 4/5 hours or so and then warm up quite nicely. I stay indoors lying down with a light quilt on, listening to music with shades. The room temp is usually around 20 to 24 degrees. Physiologically, this doesn't make sense since 4 or 5 hours later I am even more deprived of nourishment.
Feeling cold, of course, varies with one's experiences. If I lose body consciousness for a while then I don't feel cold but the sensation returns as soon as I surface. This condition continues until I begin to feel quite warm late in the afternoon. So, why could this be happening!

If "I" am manifesting all of my situations, why are some situations are negative
If "I" am manifesting all of my situations, why are some situations are negativeNo. In practice it's very hard to eliminate such judgments and survival habits.
Survival is seriously stubborn.
No, I'm rarely in a blissful state.
Some days I feel shitty. It all depends.
There is the spiritual ideal, and then there is your actual life. And they are very different.
You have to be very careful with this goal of bliss and happiness. You're likely yo be disappointed on that front.

"My Descent into the Alt-Right Pipeline" Good video on internet radicalisation.
"My Descent into the Alt-Right Pipeline" Good video on internet radicalisation.You can't understand that at your current stage of development and consciousness.
At your stage of cognitive development you simply take objective reality for granted, as a given. But there actually isn't such a thing.
Your MIND is constructing "physical" "reality". The reality you construct is precisely of the sort which allows you to survive as yourself. Everything you consider "real" is filtered through your ego to make sure it allows the illusion of a self to survive as the illusion that it is, without you realizing that it is an illusion.
If you weren't doing this, you'd be dead and a physical world would not exist.
2+2=4 is a relative truth. It is true because you say it is and by how you situate it within your entire scheme of conceptual understanding. It is not an Absolute Truth.

100 µg 1cP LSD - Clusterfucked
100 µg 1cP LSD - ClusterfuckedFor the kids at home 1cP becomes regular LSD once absorbed. Main reason I used it is that it’s legal where I live.
---
Well, that was my second ever LSD experience. I tried it first a couple weeks ago at a rave. I only took about 20-30 µg and was surprised how strong it hit. That’s why I decided to be on the safe side with only 100 µg. Well, it still hit me harder than I expected.
I was prepared to trip longer than on shrooms but I didn’t expect a full 10-12 hours. My ass and lower back are still sore from all the rolling around on the floor. I also prepared some fruit but wasn’t prepared for wanting something hearty half way through. But let’s get to that later.
The come up took a long while. Probably 50 minutes. Then it hit quickly. I felt surprisingly high, lightweight and a strong sense of fidgeting and vibrating. Quite pleasant, even euphoric...
Hit the peak about 1:30 in and stayed there for 4 hours.
Was thinking about myself and about how little I know. Was shown myself looking outside a window. Then the vision zoomed out. It zoomed out and out and hit a limit. This was the level which was comprehensible by a human mind (quite a lot actually). Then it zoomed out further and further. It got more and more abstract and complex beyond belief.
I became a sort of super AI and looked at the world from that POV. At that point life is so utterly complex that it becomes simple again. I realized what consciousness is doing via the means of evolution. It builds on top of itself to understand itself more fully. It will come to such an advanced stage that it’s just one touch from understanding itself fully. At which it will destroy itself as the only way out. Because it cannot understand itself. It can only be itself.
At which point there was only a morphing singularity left.
Then there was the question: What is the room which in this singularity takes place?
It’s God’s mind. It’s all in God’s mind.
What’s on God’s mind?
Love. That’s the thing God is “thinking” about.
So simple. So astonishing. Beyond tears.
Love asking you to hold within it the crippled and ugly. Even the evil and demonic. Who could ever hold that? Well, that is what it takes to be God. Though it doesn't "take" anything. It's ultimate willingness. Ultimate Love.
---
The way to get there was kinda ugly though. So simple to write about the big insights. I think a lot of people don’t talk about how the sausage gets made these days. Like looking at all the nasty bits of yourself and the world. Within these hours I lived life from the POV of a woman, a transgender, a sadist, a psychopath and an insane person who cut off his hand just for the fuck of it.
Encountering my fear of needles over and over again.
It was quite a trip in the truest sense of the word.
And it went on and on and on.
Was looking at the clock whilst I was peaking. Time seemed like 30-60 minutes... turned out to be only 2 lol. I thought a lot about art and love with a lower and upper case. Way too much to comprehend at this point. I will include some worldly learnings.
Notes to myself (not polished, might still be interesting for some):
Be aware of what you’re putting in your mind. Your mind is your number one tool. It needs to be sharp. A true artist is conscious of what he puts there. The food you eat, the amount of social media you consume, even the quality of porn you watch. Live as the person you’d want to become. Regarding work flow and the simplicity of life. To become a great artist you need to be clear on what you want to do. What do I want to do? I want to bring magic. This spark of Divinity which finalizes in a single stroke of the brush. To become a truly great artist there is a need of focused, deep practice AND a spark of the divine. The truest, deepest form of healing is to realize nothing was ever broken or hurt. This may or may not entail grieving and hurting in the short term to realize this final insight.

Why is it so hard to approach I’m so tired
Why is it so hard to approach I’m so tiredIt's called alcohol. Which is why bars and clubs exist.
That's probably how you were born.
Haha! Yeah... that's how it is for every guy. Welcome to the world of cold approach.
Fear is there to be faced.
Facing that fear is what separates a boy from a man. There is no short-cut but to do it.
-
Why is it so hard to approach I’m so tired
Why is it so hard to approach I’m so tired1) It requires A LOT of practice, which requires SERIOUS motivation and vision
2) Finding a few local wing-men is a game-changer. It's very hard to start solo. You need at least 1 experienced wing-man who's into approaching girls and is serious about it.
It takes 1000+ approaches to start to get comfortable with it. And it takes 5000+ approaches to get good.
Tired?? You haven't even begun yet

Why is it so hard to approach I’m so tired
Why is it so hard to approach I’m so tiredI feel ya.
But this is not a life purpose. This is a satisfaction of your personal needs.
And if this is the thing you most want, how come you are too weak to approach? You should be doing 20 approach/day rather than making excuses.

Holding conversation
Holding conversationTalk a lot about yourself. Your life, your goals, your feelings, your opinions. Be narcissistic.
That's what extroverts naturally do.
Don't filter the details of your life. And don't feel an obligation to make sense or be logical.

psychedelics and pickup
psychedelics and pickupTake a mild dose and just contemplate whatever you want.
It works really well if you have a deep catalog of old in-field reference experiences from your nights out. On psychedelics you can revisit a reference experience from 5 years ago and squeeze it for insight and lessons. You can gain new lessons which you couldn't see sober.
Try analyzing your sets at home while on psychedelics. It's eye-opening. You will learn to game much faster as you will understand what you're doing wrong.

Feelings of disgust and distancing towards the physical apperance of old people.
Feelings of disgust and distancing towards the physical apperance of old people.Of course, disgust is a common emotion.
If you really want to study this emotion, next time you take a shit, don't flush. Take your face and try to slowly stick it as close to the toilet as possible while consciously feeling and contemplating, What is disgust?
Notice how everything in your body and mind wants to avoid it. Disgust is an avoidance survival mechanism.
Some aspects of reality are so against your survival agenda that they are literally unacceptable and therefore avoided at all costs.
It is a self-bias of the ego-mind which keeps it from seeing Infinite Love.

There is no deeper layer to reality or enlightenment
There is no deeper layer to reality or enlightenment@Jo96 Well, without knowing all the details of how you tried those things, it's impossible to know.
If I had to guess I'd say you didn't try those various things rigorously enough.
This might mean you should go live normal life and burn off some karma before you are ready to restart your journey.
If you are young, spend 5 or 10 years just building up your life and exploring life. Then come back to enlightenment.

Did I get this right about psychedelic hallucinations?
Did I get this right about psychedelic hallucinations?That's exactly correct.
In a sense, schizophrenic people are MORE conscious. But their consciousness is not as stable or consistent, hence they seem weird or struggle to function.

Examples of Turquoise Communities
Examples of Turquoise CommunitiesBecause they will be out=competed by Green businesses.
Who's gonna want to work for an Orange business when there are Green businesses to work for?
Who's gonna want to partner with an Orange business when culture shifts to the Green value system? Green is gonna view Orange businesses with shame. As it already the case with corporations who don't support BLM and LGBTQ and the environment.
All the biggest corporations are going Green, or risk upsetting the masses by being perceived as "evil". "Evil" is bad for business and this will only become more true in the future.

psychedelics and pickup
psychedelics and pickupPsychedelics will make you more attractive in that you can use them to become more authentic, more fearless, more confident, more playful, more emotional, more charismatic, and gain insight into the opposite sexual polarity.
I have used psychedelics, for example, to better understand what women are attracted to in a man. On a psychedelic I can look at myself from the woman's POV and see which aspects of myself are attractive and which are not to women.

Is there a way out of suffering?
Is there a way out of suffering?Pain, of course, is purely relative. If you're conscious enough, there will be not difference between pain and pleasure.
How do you even know that pain isn't pleasure, and pleasure isn't pain?
Where in the universe does it say that pain is painful?
If you really focus on pain while it's happening, you can start to notice that it's not actually painful, it's just a feeling.
Try poking yourself with a needle and actually FEEL it without the ego's drama.

Is there a way out of suffering?
Is there a way out of suffering?Show me some science which says that if I cut your child, it will suffer.
It will only realize pain, not suffering.
Notice the utter self-bias of your view.
-
Is there a way out of suffering?
Is there a way out of suffering?Because if we select 1 human out of 8 billion at random, chances are much more likely that you will be born in a shitty part of the world than in a good part.
And we haven't even considered animals. If you reincarnate as a random animal, most animals have it pretty hard. Chances you are you will reincarnate as a chicken in a factory farm or a bug that goes SPLAT on a car window shield.
Actually pain is conceptual and something your mind is doing. If you become conscious enough you can literally stop feeling pain as painful.
-
Is there a way out of suffering?
Is there a way out of suffering?What's what liberation is. Complete surrender. Complete giving up.
Conventional people never transcend suffering precisely because they don't do the unthinkable: just give up.
You can manipulate reality as much as you want. Sometimes it will work. But in the end, it must ultimately fail because sickness or death will come for you and you will not be able to manipulate your way out of it.
Which is why the wise die before they die.
When Ramana Maharshi was diagnosed with cancer on his arm and his followers tried to treat it, he said something along the lines of "Nevermind. This body is just mud. Let it die." That is a surrendered man.

Is there a way out of suffering?
Is there a way out of suffering?@Someone here The problem is that you're trying to escape yourself.
If there is an end to suffering it would require that you totally accept yourself however you are.
The paradox of suffering is that the only way to escape it is to surrender to it. Avoidance won't work.

Difference between awakening and turquoise?
Difference between awakening and turquoise?@electroBeam You make valid points. In retrospect, I did conflate them and I might re-shoot the Turquoise video to correct for that.
At the time of shooting, I felt that ultimately we have to push towards nondual and mystical understanding, which requires leaving behind the Spiral model.
Basically once you get to Yellow+, you should start seriously getting into nonduality and mysticism and transcend all models. Spiral Dynamics cannot give us the deepest levels of understanding and development that we seek. So I was trying to bridge that gap.
Ken Wilber's model is actually better.
The problem with Spiral Dynamics is that the people who invented it and teach it are not themselves awakened or mystical. This severely limits their understanding of human development. Ken Wilber has corrected for that.

Difference between awakening and turquoise?
Difference between awakening and turquoise?@Display_Name Just because there's more does not preclude stupid beliefs.
Jed McKenna believes the moon landing was a conspiracy theory. As but one example.
If you sit down and question an enlightened person long enough, you will encounter some dumb ideas.
