@kieranperez This is a shift between some stages of spiral dynamics. They call it the beta stage. You can either be depressed more or evolve, the choice is yours

@Toby In my opinion its mostly orange, but it could vary from person to person... Perspective is the key.

Thanks everyone! I really have so much more motivation to meditate now... Just imagine if this was your permanent state

Today I went to school, it was quite cold outside, but I was fine with just wearing a T-shirt. Then I realized I only have a T-shirt (and trousers) on and everyone else is wearing jackets and jumpers. I found out that I could control my bodys approach to the feeling of cold by my own consciousness, it was great. I could go from full shaking mode to a peaceful state any time I wanted. When I started going deeper, I began to feel like love. It wasnt like love towards something, but rather I was the love. It felt GREAT. I went to school with a smile on my face, all of my classmates around were looking at me in a weird way as I was laughing my ass off. Then I started being less and less conscious, began to complain and have some weird low-consciousness thoughts and the feeling vanished. Did you have any similar experience happening to you? I am not writing this because I want to impress someone, but I feel like its an ego trap... could ego make up something like this to trap me in it? Was this actually some higher consciousness and my ego wants me to get off the track? I dont feel like fighting the ego, I rather want to unify with it, its not even the way that I entered this state, but I want to know if this is actually a good sign? Its also surprised me that I havent been meditating for some time actually, so this was like out of nowhere thing... It all felt too similar to what Leo and other teachers are saying, its almost crystal-clear illusion... But I am still not sure, is anyone further than me in investigating this?

@How to be wise Isnt this a classic example of things going in circles? The caveman might actually be more lost than the scientist, reality shouldnt be something you can articulate.

@PsiloPutty This forum is one of the only places, where a sentence like this doesnt start a war

@How to be wise Maybe there is a hole in that the cavemans perspective is sooo thin he cannot actually get further.

@NoSelfSelf Of course, I am just not familiar with your level of ignorance, so I wanted to tell you that.

@NoSelfSelf Did you hear about the Japanese marathon monks who meditate for approximately 170 hours straight?

@Serotoninluv This is partially right for some people. Is it just an evolution to unhealthy orange?

Maybe if AI will do most of the manual work in the near future, is there gonna be any excuse not to contribute the evolution of society? Just imagine that a robot does work for someone who is deeply stuck in orange/blue, like most people probably. This person now has like double the time to improve. (or he can just do all the unhealthy things, but I think this will also be unscrambled sooner or later by the bankrupting hospitals) This person can now, instead of going to school, become a stage yellow individual, who will have yellow kids, isnt that awesome? There might be some plotholes in my story, but yeah... just a boring day at school

@7thLetter You must understand that ego will never be satisfied. For ego, every age is a problem - Medieval age, Iron age, Stone age - huge stage red problems, teenage - hormonal problems, relationship problems, young age - adults are too superior, cant do everything I want etc... Try to become more conscious!

I think that gradually, you will become aware of how destructive it is.

@Mikael89 You can definitely get out, but it wont be done for you, you have to do the ACTUAL WORK

@Mikael89 What was her name?

@Girzo What is Kriya-Yoga like? I hear so many people talking about it, but there is no specific information on the internet, or very little... How do you practise is?

@p1xelmonk True, this Mikael guy is too depressed to post anything imo.

@Ray I love that there is L and Naruto there. Otherwise all the vision boards are cool!

@now is forever I have tried to convince this guy about almost the same thing, hes solid as a rock, you cannot make him change his mind now. I am not like an expert on girls, but my friend is very attractive and he has the hottest girls. I think that a big part of his mentality is dont let anyone shit on my head, be funny as hell (girls were literally coming to me, talking about his stories) and be detached. This are the big 3 in my opinion. Loyalty and morals come far far after that.

Sometimes you have to get the first hand feeling of how severely it affects your organism. I once tried to consciously listen to my ego, gave it all it wanted. (2 chocolate bars) I felt so shit that I dont want to eat chocolate ever again, same with ice cream and other stuff.

@Hellspeed 7 hours a day just to meet the teachers, who are depressed or angry most of the time anyway? I bet you could have found more teachers outside of school if you tried doing that... I am actually doing it.

I dont know, do what you want. Its probably natural for you to want that, as animals in nature also tend to build up as big of a harem as possible so their genes reproduce better. Its just a normal work of hormones. Having sex with many girls and cheating on your girlfriend might satisfy your ego.

Should I listen to enlightened gurus and masters? Everything what they say? I feel their cosciousness is infinitely higher than mine, but I find myself listening to them almost blindly in every subject. Is that a problem? (other than that the guru or master might be a fake) I think that they are a good source of information and can advice us in all the fields, since they arent affectedso much by business and catching eye balls. (unlike certain people selling health products, books etc...) Almost all other kinds of people seem myopic and affected by some sort of ideology. Given that, I cant see any issues in listening to these people. Edit: I forgot to mention that I am aware of the fact that I have to then enbody their teachings and be very objective about it.

@RabbitHole I am 15 years old, going to school in Czech republic where we also do have free education. There is also free education in the nearby countries such as Germany for example. Many people from Asia are grateful they can study here for free, because they would have to pay their life savings in China and Japan. They are even willing to learn Czech (very hard language, similar to Russian and Polish) just to apply for the schools here. This approach is probably ok, if you want to become a surgeon or a pilot type of person, but there is literally so much trash thrown onto us. I respect that we should have the basics of mathematics, we should be able to write with the correct grammar and maybe even have some basic IT profficiency, as it is very practical. Even history is great as there are many lessons to be learnt in that field. Not even mentioning English, which is mandatory, but most people who know English learn by themselves, the school system doesnt do well when it comes to language teaching. The subjects that are really making me sleep are geography, chemistry and biology. Why should I know all the highest peaks and river names, why should I know all the equations and nomenclatures? (given that I dont want to become a scientist or a surgeon etc...) We forget it anyway when we get home. I see some of my friends struggling so hard, trying to flatter those toxic teachers, being stressed and overwhelmed by their requirements. I think its one of the main causes why half of my class is doing drugs, smokes and drinks alcohol. They just want to stand against the superiors. Therefore I cant even say that I can socialize with people that I can learn from there, most of my quality relationships are not with classmates. I am thinking about quitting school as soon as possible, providing value to people and living from that, rather than wasting 20 % of my life hanging out with these types of people. There is so much more to say here, I assume you got the point, but I see no necessity in learning all the stuff that we are being taught.

@Good-boy It is indeed very relaxational. But I am not saying that there is nothing to be learned in pick-up. Some people might actually get more independent and self-aware by improving themselves as they are banging girls. It can probably improve your life before enlightenment as well, but you have to not get caught by the ego trap there. I think its probably a personal preference, whether you want or dont want to be in single. Maybe dating in stage turquoise and higher is something completely different. Most relationships in the lower stages are needy and manipulative. Stay objective though.
