It's very hard to say that Greer is stage orange when you watch his documentaries. His CE-5 gatherings are all about consciousness and love, he's big on meditation and being peaceful with others so I don't see how he could be on stage orange, I'll confidently state that he's probably closer to yellow than to orange but that's just my impression. State orange is materialistic, this guy talks about the nature of reality and how the mind can directly affect it. Unless he's saying all of that just for money and fame, I don't think that he's that low developmentally.

@Opo I hope you're right, but electing a green president isn't enough. They need to revamp all of their systems and structures so that they have a solid foundation as a nation, just look at systemic rascism and how much it's rooted in their politics and decision making ("How To Pretend Systemic Racism Doesn't Exist" by "Some More News" did a fantastic job at explaining this subject, I discovered him through Leo's blog you should definetly check him out if you're interested) Really all of what I said is applicable to every nation in the world, it's just that America is such a good example because the spotlight is almost always on them and everyone knows about them, so using the US as an example for corruption is far better that talking about the problems of Morocco for example. I really hope that I could see humanity develop and trenscend at least some of its major problems in my lifetime, and see ETs and humans get along before I die. That would be such a significant thing to witness in one's life.

The US government is saying that they're studying UFOs and seeing if they represent a threat, so maybe in the future they'll come out and outright say that aliens are a threat. Lol. But still, if you watch "Unacknowledged" they say how there's supposedly multiple advanced civilizations in our galaxy and how humans, if they become advanced enough, will be the "bully on the block" and I don't think that's far from how humans will behave if they become interplanetary, I mean Trump outright said that "America should have dominance in space" you can't make this shit up (0:44-0:59) With all due respect to America and its people, but the way the US is behaving is like a cancer trying to expand, and wich will evantually bring everything down with it if left unchecked. But as you said, we're still very primitive compared to them, so if they wanted to harm us I don't think we'll still be alive.

@Opo "Operation Northwoods was a proposed false flag operation against the Cuban government that originated within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) of the United States government in 1962." You are right, it is paranoid thinking, but seeing how corrupt politcians are and how selfish some of them can be (i.e Trump, the supreme example of corruption in the US), this stuff really becomes closer to reality. Besides, false flags are not uncommon when it comes to military tactics, and nations can use them if it's beneficial to do so. Do you really think that if aliens do in fact exist, we would be peaceful about it? That everthing will go well and govenments will be completely open and honest about it? Sorry but seeing how badly humans could treat each other, I can't imagine how much worse it could be for another life form outside of earth. "When a pickpocket meets a saint, all he sees are pockets." But I could be completly wrong and I really hope so.

And is Mother Teresa a yogi in your eyes? Because she wasn't the most enlightened person if you ask me:

Exactly, when i finished it I legit had a gathartic release of emotional baggage I've been carrying with me for awhile, I think I just needed something to trigger it and it so happened to be availale for IOS so I downloaded it for my iPhone (which is definetly not the optimal way to play this game, but with a decent pare of headphones it was really worth it) Thank you for the recommendation, I'm not sure if I heard about this game but the name really sounds familiar, I'll check it out. No problem, the video was really insightful and I really liked how he explained the process behing Apotheosis, which is as you said, perfect. My new favorite video game soundtrack without a doubt, Life Is Strange is the second on my list even though it's more of like a playlist of different songs but it's still perfect. Yes it's on iPhone and iPad and it's so cheap for the value it offers!

I just saw Leo's latest blog post about Thatgamecompany's "Flower" and the crazy thing is I just finished playing one of their games a few days ago! I just finished "Journey" and to say it was great is an understatment, it truly is a stage green/turquoise game the same as "Flower" (which I also played) and what's good about it is that its story is basically the Hero's journey. Here's the trailer for anybody interested: And this is the composer of the game, who managed to make in my opinion the best soundtrack for a video game (especially for the last stages of the game) talking about the process of making the soundtrack and how Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" inspired his soundtrack with possible spoilers to the game, so if you're really interested in it, proceed with caution: Finally, "Journey" is a truly beautiful game that without a single line of dialogue, managed to deeply move me and bring me to tears by the time it ended, it's available on IOS too so I highly, highly recommend it, it's a must play for any video game fan out there.

And it's very interesting how she was describing that she sees the "shapes of paragraphs", that goes to show that there are endless ways a conscious being can experience life and just within our species we have variations. Now let's just imagine what an alien's mind would look like, if they exist (which is likely) their "minds" will probably be so different from ours that they may not even be minds anymore but something even more sophisticated, who knows. It's freaking amazing honestly

Yeah I saw this a few months ago, what's funny/weird is that a lot of people view these kind of individuals as 'philosophical zombies", they believe that just because someone doesn't talk to themeselves that they don't have awareness. That goes to show how much we are identified with our minds, as Eckhart tolle said we view the wolrd through our minds and these people seem like they are dead inside but honestly they have a very big advantage when it comes to the spiritual path so I envy them a little bit x) Thanks for sharing this video, it's very interesting.

No problem

But I advice you to watch part 1 first for a better understanding.

I believe you're talking about this one:

And more precisely, we should breathe with our belly: Jed McKenna on 'Breathing'. "Actually, most people would function a lot more smoothly and easily a lot more of the time if they’d just learn to breathe correctly. Practically everyone restricts their breathing to the upper part of the lungs, so that the chest expands and not the belly. "The result of this shallow breathing is that we operate in a perpetual panic mode, as if all of life was a fight-or-flight situation. This causes the mental state of dis-ease that we accept as normal and from which we seek escape through addictions and distractions. "It disrupts our activity during the day and our rest at night. When we breathe into our entire lungs by expanding the diaphragm, we automatically create a mental state of composure and ease, which is then reflected in our environment. "How telling is it that we are a society of people who don’t even know how to breathe? Hello? At what more basic level could we possibly fail? And what’s more than that, how telling is it that when we are made aware of this crippling flaw, most of us will do absolutely nothing to correct it because our vanity won’t allow us to expand our tummies?" From: 'Spiritual Incorrect Enlightenment' Most mammals like cats and dogs breathe that way naturally, but of course humans have sadly got off track. After actively applying Jed's advice for almost 2 years now, I can confidently say that proper breathing does help a lot in dealing with stress and with becoming at least a bit more conscious. Aside from that it's not like a miracle solution for dissolving suffering, some people just have very deeply rooted pschological issues that even if they do breathe correctly they will still struggle to awaken, because becoming more conscious means relinquishing the ego and no amount of breathing will make them do that if they are not ready to awaken and see what's beyond the mind-made self, some of us are just too fearful. Thanks for your post, this subject is very crucial especially in these hard times.

Yeah me too I've never seen anyone talk about it before Honestly years ago I just saw it as bad luck and was very frustrated with life, but now I'm almost thankful for all that has happened to me because I wouldn't have come this far if it wasn't for those triggers and disasters. As someone who had trouble fitting in I understand what you mean, but it's better to be ourselves and feel authentic than trying to act like everyone wants us to and feel like we're lying you know? They say that in order to enjoy the other aspects of a relashionship that you mentioned one has to be present so that they can connect with the other emotionally, it can be hard but it's worth it and it makes relationships richer (with the right person of course).

This. I feel the same way honestly, for me everytime I thought that I'm starting to have things figured out some problem or accident happens to me that completly shatters that fantasy I was living in, it's exactly like Life/The Universe/God is triggering me to push me out of the little world I have built and to keep moving forward so that I won't settle too soon. As for dating you should check out leo's older videos, they might help you know how to interact with others and not come off as "weird" to them, or maybe it's just that you haven't met people that share your ideas and mindset. Wish you luck

Yes it's really paradoxical but unfortunately we can only grasp it by actually letting go, and no amount of conceptualisation will ever help us do so, so there should be a true yearning for truth. Yeah I should really watch those two videos thanks for the reminder. I read about kundalini and it really makes sense, the psychological knots and blocks are what's preventing awakening and DP can be caused by psychological damage. Really appreciate your advice and I wish you success in your journey.

Thank you for the recommendation, I've been trying to be aware of my body for a while now and this book might be what I needed.

Thanks for sharing, I used to really enjoy these kinds of videos where people talk about their first awakening it's really inspiring and magical in a way

It's an important discovery indeed, and that's what Leo was really talking about when he said that ego death is as real as physical death and in fact the same thing. Yes, the opportunity does arise but in my case I was so bewildered by what I was going through that the last thing I wanted to do was to dig even further, and in a sense I wonder if i'll ever be able to move past this point. And what you said about learning from these experiences is true for me to, and in a way I owe it to depersonalization for opening my mind to spirituality and what truth really is, I would never have come this far if it wasn't for all of those experiences. I would love to try psychedelics some day, I belienve they could help me transcend this fear of death but i'm also afraid that they would f me up even more, you know? Me too, saying that DP/DR are just mental disorders is really under appreaciationg the depth of those experiences and what they really entail, and it's exactly like what you said, they are an incomplete ego death. To answer you questions, I evolved by opening my mind to the possibilities of life and what truth really is, I'm more aware of my emotions and ego triggers and I have accepted the state I'm in rather that ressist it which relieved me from imense fear and pain, but I still have a long road ahead of me as I have not yet overcome the fear of looking at truth and surrendering to it, as to the trigger it was unconscious contemplation and observation, I was going through the spiritual process without even knowing it and one day it just clicked. What about your experiences with these states? Did they become permanent or did they subside?
