    I would say if you want it to mean something make it mean something meaning everytime you see it make your mood for high on purpose like something good is going to happen dont question. In theory the number games could work with God the problem is going back and forth between its real and its not when its not working. Reality is trying pavlovs dog you but you gotta do the reverse to it.

    True.

    @ElvisN If you find absolutely nothing fascinating or interesting about reality, it's impossible to help you.

    It takes extraordinary arrogance, blindness, and ingratitude, not to find all aspects of reality deeply fascinating.

    A miracle is happening all around you every minute and all you can do is shrug your shoulders and say, "Meh".

    @Leo Gura Thank you for this.

    If you find it hard to get up in the morning, you also might have a health problem. Same goes if you aren't excited about life. Healthy people are naturally excited and vibrant about life. Of course it's not black and white, but if your brain chemistry is off due to some unknown inflammatory problem, that will taint your ambition, excitement, and passion. The fact that you are extremely neurotic as well is probably indicative of something wrong in the body. 

    @tezk Thanks for the insights!

    @Leo Gura Okay. How to overcome said arrogance?

    I've gone through the life purpose course many times, but I'm not able to really do the exercises. For example, the life purpose assessment. I don't know what to write. I don't even know what the questions are talking about. My mind gives a blank. Although this was not always the case, this is the case right now.

    I find no meaning in life.

    A little background about myself: I grew up extremely neurotic, like top 1% of neurotic people.

    But he's claiming neither.

     

    @ElvisN
    The EDT model of Susan Cook Greuter is not the most popular psychology developmental model out there. I think the most popular one on the internet and on this forum Spiral Dynamics. Although I like the EDT model better when it comes to personal development, it's more nuanced than Spiral Dynamics, SD is the most popular one. Leo, did a extensive video series on SD, and in the main development section of this forum there's a topic for each colour. The Expert level of EDT is comparable with Orange of SD. 

     

    I don't have too much practical advise for you, at least there's a lot of practical advise already to be found out there.

    You can look in this topic :

     

    For me the most "meta" advise I can give you for Expert/Orange is summed up perfectly in these two quotes:

    - The illiterate of the 21st Century are not those who cannot read and write but those who cannot Learn, Unlearn and Relearn. - Alvin Toffler

    Now with AI incoming it's important to prepare yourself for that, there will be a huge gap for success or even survival for the ones who can adapt the fastest.

    - You were so preoccupied with whether you could. You didn't stop to think if you should. - Ian Malcolm (Jurassic Park)

    Develop your moral compass more, believe me in Orange/Expert the limits will be continuously tested by the outside world. Be careful by crossing those boundaries for the outside world. But also realise that your moral compass is a result of your conformist background, so question it and adapt to higher levels.

    Also, question the information you gather (including mine), that's the new super power you will develop now over conformist, instead of blindly accepting what is said.

    Also also, on a personal note, it will not come into play now, but it will help develop you later, especially when you enter Yellow/Strategist. Be observant, notice things in all areas, when you see them enough you will notice connections which will turn into cause and effect. Store them somewhere in your brain or notes or something. Because the more you will see those connections they will turn into patterns, then you will see patterns in different domains, maybe the same, maybe different. Then you will start too see patterns within patterns, and now you're entering the domain of Fractals. It will help you with integrating Systems Thinking. Later on for Turquoise/Unitive you will expand it even further. But the groundwork for this is done in Orange/Expert.

    Good luck out there man 👍🏼

    Dude, thanks!

    I've been experiencing a massive shift in consciousness over the last 6 months, and especially the last few days. After the April 4th collective meditation, my third eye was throbbing and I had the deepest awakening of my life yesterday. A few other people I've talked to said they felt a major shift as well. I'm curious if you guys are feeling this as well. I provide more details in the video:

     

    This was incredible. Thanks for sharing
