Hey dude, you'll likely still be in the retreat. But wishing you well mate. Hope its been a space of growth so far. Looking forward to hearing what your experience is like when you're back ?

Hi, The following two videos came to mind for me as things that may be helpful for you: 1. Role of balance in personal development 2. Paradoxes of Personal Development

Congrats dude!

Try yoga nidra. Shit is wild for sexual energy/ enjoyment.

Sounds great! Good luck dude.

Bit of heroin will give you a big state boost. Can invite girls back to your bunsen burner for afterparties too

Wait, when did Leo say he socialises on DMT ?? I don't buy it

Fuck me that sounds intense. What was an example of how it was traumatic?

Nice idea

All ik is we got real close to the first actualized.org dick pic

@Leo Gura Here's a tiktok dance tutorial for you mate https://www.youtube.com/shorts/z7-yoZ4Ofk0 Gotta keep the actualized.org teachings growing by any means necessary

Okay dude. No worries

Sounds wild af!

Developed. There is no absolute justification for why 2+2 = 4

Maybe stop asking whether these judgments are true, and instead search for whether the holding of the beliefs fulfils a certain purpose for part of you. Nice thoughts

I'd look into depth psychotherapy. I wish you well. The r/cptsd (subreddit) wiki will have some stuff you will likely find valuable

Thanks. Nice one

Hi all. I'm doing noting meditation, where I focus on my thoughts and every few seconds say, 'thinking-thinking-thinking'. I was wondering if anyone had any resources regarding what to expect from this kind of meditation. I'm struggling to find them on the internet. Also, I've watched and taken notes on Leo's vid on mindfulness meditation, so would prefer not to have that video recommended.

@Thought Art Oh, I assumed from its inclusion in your post it wasn't in a good place, generally

I'd personally prioritise number 2

So, to my understanding, by being stage blue they will be subscribing to strong ideas about what is right and wrong. Those in the right are to be looked upon favourably, those in the wrong looked upon disfavourably. With that being so, what ideas regarding right and wrong do your parents subscribe to? I.e. Are they practicing Christians? More secular in their right/ wrongness?

So, by disavowing LOC, you are saying you don't agree with the 0 - 1000 style metric? How about if OP was talking about spiral dynamics stages re consciousness. I.e. a stage yellow person being more valuable than a stage blue person. I personally think it sounds somewhat fascist, re answering OP's question in the affirmative.

I think you would find value in talking this through with someone who coming from a non-judgmental space, and listens and hears your concerns that a part of you has. I wonder whether intellectually understanding will help you to move out of the emotional state you are in.

Perhaps. But not as an end in itself, but they may support conservatism as a means to an end. A yellow thinker may want long-term left wing change. And, although a certain left wing candidate would implement preferable short term changes, it may be that long-term they actually do harm than good to the leftist agenda. For example, if Corbyn had got into office in Britain, it may have been that there would have been a big backlash after his term, with conservatism taking more of a long-term strangle hold than had he not been there. I don't think conservatism can be supported as an end in itself by a yellow person because of free will. Conservatism is generally based on ideas that the individual is a relatively free agent within society and is the maker of their own wins/ losses. However, stage yellow embraces systems thinking which is deterministic as it would see society as working as a set of systems. Therefore, stage yellow thinkers would refute the idea of the relatively free agent within a society.
