  1. Depends. Do you want to enjoy your fruits or you would rather let the insects enjoy them? Depends. Do you want to be the predator that eats the chicken or you would rather let another predator eat them? You are free to do as you wish. You will be defined by your actions, but you are free to choose any action you wish.
  2. Why limit your demographic to only self-help? Typically people who are into self-help will help themselves to develop their own website. Widen your target demographic if you want to make money. But in general web development is a good skill to have.
  3. The list for women is fairly straightforward. Be Attractive Don't be unattractive.
  4. @7thLetter You thought you were a G, (slang for gangster) but the universe is trying to tell you that you are more than just a G.
  5. It is possible to realize that all love comes from within yourself. Love is not something that needs to be chased outside because it is within us all. Once you realize and embody this fact, you no longer need the validation of others. Work on yourself and try to find the love that is within.
  6. The problem is that the "I" is composed of both the Ego and the Spirit. Initially, you are unable to differentiate between the two because they are both parts of your sense of self. Try to think metaphysically about what differentiates the two. What rules the Ego and what rules the Spirit? Once you are able to draw the line between the two, you will know if the Ego is setting up traps for itself or the Spirit is trying to outgrow the Ego.
  7. I think we use different definitions of regress. Regress in my mind is falling back to a previous less developed state.
  8. Obviously you should put more energy into reading David Hawkins. I will tell you a story... There was once a man who didn't know how to fish. He liked fish, but for the love of God, he didn't know how to catch them. So he started reading books on how to catch fish. He learned about their movements, he learned what the fish liked and what they didn't like. Only when he knew the nature of the fish, he thought that he will finally be able to catch them. After reading and learning, one day he decided to go to the lake and start fishing for himself. Fishing was hard. The man had to have the right bait to catch the fish. He had to know the right ponds in which the had to catch the fish he liked. One day, with skill but and more luck he was able to catch a nice fish. The fish was pretty, but when he looked closer, the man noticed that the fish has been caught many times before. At first sight, the fish was special, but upon looking closely there wasn't anything special about the fish. The man got lucky, but he still felt unlucky. One day, the man read on some forum that he shouldn't throw baits to catch fish. Catching fish one by one is too much hassle. Instead, he should throw large nets into the deep blue water and catch much fish at once. The fish he wouldn't like, he should release, and the fish he liked, he should keep. Only when the fisherman had a lot of options, he was able to find the right fish.
  9. The girls don't pick up guys but rather they express interest in more subtle ways. If a girl is interested she can smile at you, preen her hair while looking at you, ask you for a lighter even if she doesn't smoke, etc. If you a are smart guy you will pick up on their signals and pick them up. If you are not smart, well, girls don't like dumb guys. PS. I live in the Netherlands.
  10. Here is a thought... At stage Yellow, most people become aware of Spiral Dynamics. If the majority of people become aware of Spiral Dynamics, they will become part of a predictable system and will attempt to change it. Therefore, Spiral Dynamics will become obsolete if the majority is Yellow.
  11. @Thewritersunion Coral includes all previous stages of development, but it can't be expressed through language. That is why there wasn't a single word spoken in the video. Open Your Eyes. The ending is very powerful. @Gerhard Your perception is your interpretation.
  12. Imagine that you understood fear completely. Imagine that you don't feel fear for 100 years. Imagine that you don't feel it for a million years. After a million years you will start to forget what fear is since you have not experienced it such a long time. After a million years you will probably want to experience your greatest fear. After such a long time you would want to experience regress because without the fear you are not complete.

  14. How about this:
  15. If the Absolute could impose limits on itself, then by definition it is not Absolute but relative.
  16. To accept them as part of yourSelf.
  17. Nature is Metal? More like... "Nature is Mental".
  18. All understanding is understanding of Reality since Reality is Total. There is nothing outside Reality. When we try to understand something, we are trying to understand a small part of reality. To understand something is to create ground on which we can stand. To under-stand means to stand under it. The problem is that since Reality is total, there is nobody the understand it but itself. Since Reality is Total, there is no ground on which Reality itself can stand. Therefore, all understanding of reality is partial and there is no such thing as realistic understanding. When understanding becomes Total, it becomes Reality. To understand Reality means to always misunderstand it for reality. Back to the origingal disucssion of Regression. Since Reality must be Absolutely Free to explore itself, it can't impose any limits on itself. The definition of Absolute Freedom is the nonexistence of any limits. Therefore, Reality can't impose any limits on its regress because if it does, it won't be Absolutely Free. I hope the answer wasn't too metaphisical and you are able to understand it. @Fadl
  19. How about... "I will produce such groundbreaking music that people will start throwing money at me." Money is the effect of hard work and should not be the main point of the attention of your work. Until your music is so good that it makes it rain, you have not fulfilled your goal.
  20. Let it go. If you keep the grudges, you are only hurting yourself. Take in the wrongs of others as a lesson of what is right. Don't judge their wrong because without the wrong, you won't know what is right. Just let it go.
  21. Yes. One of the best investments I have ever made. It makes the meditations experience much more comfortable and enjoyable.
  22. I don't read, but when I do its always the description of some shirtless guy on Instagram. (Sarcasm) Because shirtless guys on Instagram know the Truth.
  23. Earth might be Light, but your video exists in darkness. @Mods, The video is unavailable since is members-only content.
  24. Try to contemplate the answer for yourself. All knowledge is built on some foundation. There are always some axioms that are taken as the Truth and they represent the foundation on which all other knowledge is built. The question then becomes: "How do you know that the old foundation that you have built is true?" The only way to answer that question is to destroy the foundation and build a new one. Destroying the foundation initially sounds like a regress, but it might lead to the greatest progress.
