@EnRoute Why the imprisonment? And who would you elect in his place?

@EnRoute The number of covid cases is much lower than in NY, or comparatively any other state in America, which is a factor in the state of Florida's decision to open small businesses and public locations. If Ron DeSantis and the Florida state has enough supplies like masks and already enforced safety measures in small businesses for the public and employees to follow in Florida to prevent the spread of the virus, then I don't have an issue with him and state's decision to open. I'll admit that there's still not enough information to determine if this decision is good or bad, so we'll have to wait and see the development. I'm not sure what's wrong with him, neither is anyone reading, sounds like this question is meant for him to answer himself.

Update: I've finally completed one of the rooms, and it's got some good mandala images that are partially inspired by other mandalas and psychedelic imagery. I've done some spiritual work in one of the rooms, and I really like how I'm able to better slip into more focused states. I'm also seeing improvements of Crysty's ability to focus and meditate as well. I've also managed to relax my hand enough, and allowed her to use my hand for her to write down ideas, and to draw some interesting images. I also come across an interesting video about egregors and enlightenment. It looked interesting because it's related to another occulted user's advice in the past about Crysty and I, but also how it relates to enlightenment: I'll be researching further before I ask if Crysty's interested enough to participate in this. I also am doing this because I'm curious, I don't know enough about this specific part of spirituality, and it somehow resonates with intuition.

@erik8lrl This is sort of a similar process I go through with my art hobbies, fitness training and the consciousness work and spiritual practices I do, I cycle based on the seasonal changes. For example, just on my physical training, in spring I train accuracy, throws and precision, as well as balance and skill application, as well as change my subconscious training programs to train for more detail, more clearer vividness, down to location and lighting. Summer is when I change my training to be higher intensity and volume, more body weight and endurance types of training, and I adjust my visualization training as well. Autumn is when I gradually decrease volume and frequency, and do more softer physical training like yoga and tai chi, and change my visualization as well. Winter is when I do twice a month, or once a month of training, or no intense physical training other than stretching, and here I mostly do yoga asanas, chi gong, and bio energetics, the spiritual practices that effect the body mostly. Winters are for me really good times to do more serious consciousness work and other spiritual methods.

@Hardkill It's really hard to know the real reasons why anyone would block you. So far from what I read, you've initiated the texting normally, until the last part you escalated by asking a question that assumes integrity with the rest of your statements, when it's too soon to assert such integrity. Here's a re-written version of the text communication: Me: Hey Blanc, idk if you remember me, but I believe that u (Instead, say "we've both went to) went to UCLA to study as a math major. We met when I was a junior and u were a sophmore. ( I'd end this instead with a question about what both of you did together like 'hey, remember that time we did blanc, or remember when my friend blanc did this in class? or Do you still happen to have that blanc with you? Ask any question, or statements, that builds commonality between you both very quickly from the get go, so the conversation feels organic.) Her: Hay there! That does sound like me lol. (Great opening for some humour. Nothing in your first text showed any specific examples that stood out to her, other than a shared experience of going to UCLA, studying a math major, so ask/state something and go deeper with both her and your experiences together, like "Oh, which part?" or "Yeah, remember that time when you...?' or " Yeah, it does sound like you. Still have the karaoke set we did at...? That was hilarious!'. basically, again, ask or say something that establishes commonality quick that you know you both did together.) Me: So, have you been an airplane pilot for a while? ( The transition from talking about you both in school, to asking about her job specifically, is a bit strange. I'd still keep the conversational frame about the school context, and talk and tell stories about the shared experience you both have. If I wanted to transition to another frame, like a vocation, Id go like this " Remember that time when we hanged out at lunch break, and you told me about becoming a pilot, and I told you I wanted to be a blanc? Well, at the time, I was half hearted about it, kinda joking then, but now I've managed to become blanc, and it felt great to be working as blanc in the blanc city area. While working there, a plane passed by, and it reminded me about us back then. Ever been to blanc city, either for work or for vacation?") Her: I've been flying for 7 years, but getting paid to do it for about 4. What have you been up to? (This question would be answered above, but for sake of variety, you now can lead the conversation thread, to other areas of you're experiences, or still stick to the main frame of this conversation, because she's asking you to state your experiences you've had so far, summarized. You could also improvise, and state what's happening currently, state how it feels, and state how lonely you are, and refer to any other friends you both had made, or state how this current situation is making you miss hanging out with her. Even state how you've recently had a breakup, real or not, to signal to her that you're available to date potentially, like " Lately, I've had enough free time to do some more work at blanc. Before the pandemic hit, I've been visiting other places and meeting some new folks and been dating a girl that lives at blanc. That place has some lovely beaches. However, during the whole pandemic thing, I've just recently broke with my gf. We've been going steady for several months/a year, and even though she lived a city away, I did enjoy our time together. It was just getting difficult for her to keep visiting me/me visiting her, and she's going to work as blanc in another country, so we decided to end our relationship. I'm kinda lonely and sad at the moment .") Me: Oh right on. So, you've been practicing it for a while. I am in grad school studying for my degree in education. (like the above statements, elaborate and tell a mini story about you, with a little bit of positive and negative emotions, to each situation you've faced. Also, you can make a guessing statement at her, and ask if you're right, like "oh, I guess you're now a pilot? You now own a private jet? That's awesome! What do you do there?". This gives her the chance to correct you, or to confirm, and continue the talking. Btw, do u always take part in the mile high clubs? ( Similar to some users' commentaries, this is the deal breaker here. I've already given an example for how to infuse some emotion and sexual energy into a mini story above. Another approach is to give some excuse to end the texting now, and close hard on her by asking for her number , or times when she's available to text or talk. Say, like " Hey, it's been real good talking to you. I'm feeling much better. Something's come up now, I got to go do blanc. Do you mind telling me when you're available to text? Maybe a number so we could talk? My fingers are cramping from the typing . Too much lifting weights.", something like this. Light hearted. This way, you can better discern her state of mind and body from her voice, to escalate or not. from over the phone, maybe from texting, you then ask if she's into a cup of coffee at the market, the coffee shop...preferably, the one you both been to before.) I hope my analysis was helpful for you. If you found any of it offensive, that was not my intention, sorry in advance. Let me know if this helped you by replying here. or pm me. Have a good day!

@Yog Yes, without some kind of checking system, toxic forms of green can go too far. Without exercising the ability to make distinctions inside and outside stage green, we won't be able to spot the healthy and unhealthy aspects of it.

@erik8lrl Very in-depth post, which is great to me, another perspective on this issue. However, the issue of how the chinese government's way of ethically educating Uighurs is questionable, along with the alleged concentration camps and treatment of them, which all still remains. I'm with you that western media is biased, but there no denying CNN'S gathering of information, and the mounting reports of these concentration camp's existence and the reports from the people who have experienced them. How do we address China's ethical approach in this issue of dealing with terrorism, and how they indoctrinate? Can countries outside China do anything at all in this situation?

Is Leo taking the rest of winter off?

@Roy I meant what type of discipline? For example, you've suggested resistance to ego, and acts of authenticity, as a form of discipline. Do you mean that resisting is discipline, or acts of authenticity is discipline? If you mean both are disciplines, then how does one effect the other? If discipline is resistance, and I'm resisting myself expressing an emotion, then is resistance discipline? If discipline is acting authentically, and I'm feeling horny, would expressing my horniness count as discipline, or not? If it counts, why does it count? If it does not count, why?

One thing that might contribute to people not developing up the spiral, is also not knowing that Spiral Dynamics is a thing.

@mikelyons I keep checking every other day per week, because sometimes he does post a video not on Sunday.

@commie Stage blue at it's most toxic. Do you think that economic sanctions would discourage these as well?

@intotheblack @Arcangelo This is how ruthless mainstream collective egos deal with different worldviews radical compared to their own, indoctrination at all costs. Makes you think what else is happening under China. I hope the survivors get some form of justice sooner or later, regardless if it's China.

@commie I have little interest in convincing you of my side, nor do I give a shit what stage blue and orange thinks about vaccine production. I'm stating that to stage orange and blue views, this vaccine race makes sense to them. Take up your grievances to them, the people that mishandled the outbreak, and the region this virus started, not at me.

The USA is currently leading in vaccine production, while China is second. It seems that the EU, despite dealing with the Covid pandemic slightly sooner than the UK, is slightly slow in producing viable vaccines before the UK: What are your thoughts on why the EU was lagging behind the UK's own production?

@commie 1. I do agree that framing distribution as a race is scummy behavior, but when viewed from stage orange, in terms of vaccine rate production, profit returns and out pacing other pharmaceutical business in different countries, from a materialists/realists/scientist/business CEO's perspective, it makes sense to compare this to a race, to whoever is first to produce, is first to profit. This also makes sense to a person who's stage blue/orange, especially when their country looks good because they're the first before other cultures in providing vaccine and relief. 2. This does makes sense, from a stage blue perspective, as their own family/country comes first before anyone else's. Also, the UK is mainly an island, so the population, compared to the USA, will have a smaller domestic consumption. 3. This point, I won't fully dunk on the EU's management of it's economy, as the pandemic really had blindsided the world. Even though the EU is a federation modelled government, many aspects of it are from different European cultures, with slightly different infrastructures that were not prepared for how severe the pandemic is. In the early days, most just write it off as a bad case of flu. 4. If I'm not mistaken, the USA's style of government was the inspiration for the formation of the EU, not just to unite against China/Russia's communist expansion.

@Vrubel Exactly. We must exercise 100% responsibility at all times, because transforming to another stage takes work.

Let's talk about not demonizing green, but after you get falsely accused, canceled, and yelled at, okay?

@WonderSeeker Beautifully designed!

Funnily enough, I've been treated poorly in the past in a GameStop store, and it was an embarrassing situation for me because I just wanted to win in an archaeid machine, and nearly kicked out for stubbornness. I'm mostly forgot and forgave the situation, leaving America behind and moving on in my life to new things and a new place. 15 years later after that incident, GameStop is now being pumped and dumbed by extreme left and right people, like what the actual fuck? Karma is ridiculous.

@Snader Where does the vision come from?

Can I mentally design my life using visions?

What is a conundrum?

@Emerald Him not sharing his part of knowledge in YouTube, is like him refusing to fish for really good fish, despite knowing other ways of fishing. If he hadn't shared his knowledge, I wouldn't have come across actualized.org and developed as much as I have today, and maybe some people here mostly come across actualized.org from him posting videos on YouTube. A person that hordes knowledge in private is a half-assed fisherman.

@Conscious life I've experienced something like that when in deep meditation, where my sense of time just goes out the window. One time, instead of meditating at a fixed time rate, I let the timer run, and meditated with no intent on stopping, and when it felt like I did 20-30 minutes, it objectively was an hour and 20 minutes!
