You know the saying "you don't shit where you eat"? Kinda applies here ?

@lostmedstudent It's really strange! We're texting every now and then, she calls me her "handsome friend" ? I mean just give it to me straight. Do you want it or not? ?

Of course don't trust any information when: 1- the product is merely information - 2- the representative tells you that they're not responsible for their information - 3- their survival is dependent on selling you that information. They must be biased for them to be able to advertise and benefit from you and others. They certainly can be honest, but I think they exaggerate a lot as well, probably unconsciously. On the other hand, I think socializing is a core part of the puzzle of personal development, and practice in my opinion and experience is the best teacher.

You know what? I was thinking the same thing. But then I lost my mind.

How about "Nobody likes death whether it's real or not"? ?

@Loving Radiance @Alissa This does not resonate with me at the moment, but thanks for taking the time to answer.

@Fede83 ??❤️

@Focus Shift Amazing video! Thanks. @Alissa How do you determine whether it's the ego or the higher self?

Seek a Tarot cards reader. She has all the answers for you.

Of course not. In my experience, it just needs proper monitoring so it doesn't get out of control. The way you monitor it would be through being aware of it, just simply watching it without resisting or judging or anything like that. Allow yourself to speak to you, let the desires be, breathe deeply and bring your awareness into them, and then do what you would do to your best friend, because you are your best friend.

Q: "Where Is Leo Wrong?" A: In your mind.

If it's neediness, then it's related to having goals. That would be a clear case of what is called 'attachment', which is linked to the ego since it causes suffering, whether now or in the future.

Perhaps you will know if you put yourself in their shoes. Oh wait, you already are. You live in Israel. How do you feel about the Arabs (the ones who are at war with Israel) constantly fighting against you? That's how Taliban feels towards the USA (and vice-versa, Arabs feel the same about you). Do you really want to learn how to become multi-perspectival? Try seeing the war you're in from the other side.

@Serotoninluv I see. Have fun.

Body and mind relaxation, just to name one.

@Serotoninluv I'm really curious to know where you studied Spiral Dynamics from. 'Unattached awareness' does not seem to be mentioned in the original site. I don't even recall Leo saying anything as such. @Nivsch I look at Taliban leadership, and I see them checking all of the mentioned items, maybe except for the last two words, although they're still open to negotiations while Trump isn't. I'm not saying that I like their leadership, or that I support them, that would be crazy to even think of. And I'm not even saying that they're healthy stage Yellow, but rather that they're extremely toxic to the whole of humanity. But, to see and understand their position feels so eye-opening to me. After all, nothing exists in vain, and I'd rather learn even from my enemies. Plus, we can't help the lower stages evolve as long as we view them as bad or evil or unconscious. .. I think you guys are confusing being a hippy with stage Green. And to be more honest I think you're being dogmatic about your understanding of SD. I apologise, and I'm not trying to appear superior or anything, but I had to let it out. I think you are confusing the examples for the respective stages. Just because hippies can be an obvious example of stage Green does not make all of them so, hippies do exist at stage Purple, Blue, Green, and I would say even at Turquoise. Be careful with the way you interpret Leo's videos. He has his own biases and he seems to be conscious and determined about them. In fact, I think Actualized.org is a good example of a slightly selfish stage Yellow. I, on the other hand, am trying to be as objective as possible, even though I may be nowhere near objectivity. Bless.

'Worst' is a relative concept. 'Philosophy' is a bunch of thoughts, and it's relative. 'Ever' is a huge underestimation of the unpredictability of reality. 'Everything happens' is an assumption. We can say that nothing happens as well. 'Reason' is a thought connecting two parts of reality in whatever way(s). That's just one way to debunk this thread and to open your mind for other possibilities beyond where you stopped.

Simply and accurately put ? ???

@Commodent Appreciate the awesome response ?❤️

I'm still skeptical of this point.

@Nivsch We'll have to agree to disagree ?

1. As you might have noticed, the higher you go with the spiral, the more complex, nuanced, and sophisticated your thinking becomes. We might say that stage Purple has a surface level understanding of life, while stage Green has a deeper understanding. So, high vs. low in terms of the spiral equals complex vs. simple in the actual world. Now, is complex thinking always better than simple thinking? I would say no. Sometimes it is better to think simply about some things, and sometimes it's better to understand them deeply, it mostly depends on the things themselves and how you value them and how they should be fit in your life for you to have an organised healthy system. For example, you don't teach a 1st grader Darwinian evolution, it's way too complex for them to comprehend. Instead, you start with the basics that will build a stepping stone for them to integrate with other stepping stones, and then after they reach some level, you can teach them about evolution. That would be systematic thinking. Notice that no hierarchy of values needs to be constructed. Yet, these, and other kinds of constructions can be made when you're a systematic thinker, and that what we will be discussing in the next point below. 2. To answer this question, we have to take into account that there isn't one way to manage a system or to solve a problem. Some solutions can be more effective than others, and some plans can be better than others, and so on. Reality is really complex, and often times we aren't able to comprehend its complexity. However, tier two people, for some reasons, have the ability to deal with that without much effort. They can handle complex issues, maps, problems, projects, paradoxes, etc... all at once, or at least that's how I imagine them to be like. That being said, how would you manage a system that is clear and obvious to you and vague and obscure to others? Well, it depends. You can be selfish about it, while at the same time monitoring and making sure that your system is sustainable and under control. And you can be selfless about it, while at the same time doing the same thing above. And you can be somewhere in between. So, for example, Taliban leaders know how to manage and manipulate systems. They know how to manipulate Trump and to make him make stupid mistakes. Are they good or evil? I don't know, and I don't care. All I know (assume) is that they're at tier two level of thinking and sophistication, and that Trump isn't.

@Commodent Not trying to disprove your point or anything, but do you think that pushing yourself beyond your limits is healthy and sustainable on the long-term? I'm saying this because my experience was not very pleasant with always pushing forward, even though I got some special fruits, but I wouldn't do that ever again unless I have no other choice.
