  1. Well, I am facing the issue after meeting with him many times. I am 99% sure he is experiencing insanely high levels of consciousness sober, states that would take most people many 5meo trips to access but he is still very dogmatic, stage blue style. Spiral dynamics model is seperate from enlightenment, But affects very conscious people in a similiar way it would affect you or me. The reason I am asking this question is precisely of the many experiences with that person. It is very hard to navigate this territory. Making decisions like these requires higher levels of understanding than I have yet to experince. That is why I am asking on a forum where both self actualization and consciousness work is discussed. Edit: imagine Sadhguru mixed with Jordan Peterson.
  2. You've managed to get a cessation while high on weed? That sounds interesting.
  3. It highly depends on who your parents are.
  4. If you're working for an employer it is very likely that you'll have to lie at some point. Only way out is building your own thing while not becoming corrupt, which is pretty hard.
  5. You can't really understand it when you're not in the state. Every time I get into it I realize that my memories of it were completely wrong.
  6. Thought forms. Everyone's thought forms are interconnected. Which is partially why interesting shit can happen during astral projection even though AP is a lucid dream. Thought forms get stronger with emotions. If you think one thought often especially if it's emotionally charged it affects material reality. If a thought form gets strong enough it affects other people.
  7. Because they've probably never tried it. Their pointers are amazing though (when your mind is in a state good enough to benefit from them).
  8. Try to listen to Newman while doing a technique like breath counting or body scanning. You will get many insights and get a taste for what they're talking about.
  9. I've lost some (not all) friends due to this. Tbh the ones I lost I wouldn't really want to be friends with them again. I can't relate that much to them. They're still at the same place they were years ago while I make quick progress in comparison.
  10. Their red is obedient to an authority. They are blue. Obviously they have more red tendencies that the average person.
  11. It's ok to get bad grades in HS. Especially if it allows you to learn something better (eg. read something from Leo's booklist or read business related books) or even do some freelancing work. Just don't underestimate how much you have to study to not fail a class / not fail your finals. Preferably study for ~30 minutes during the school year and cram before your finals (the craming will work better because you build the momentum from studying 30m a day). Since you said you're in Europe I assume that after your final year of HS you will have to complete finals.
  12. No. You might think that building a business / working on your life purpose will be easier than HS but it won't. If you want to succeed without having basic HS education you will have to work 8 - 12 hours at a crappy, stressful job while also putting 2 - 8 hours a day into your life purpose. It might sound more appealing than HS but reality is different. You can still put in 2 - 8 hours a day on your LP even when you're in HS. HS will also teach you (especially you) how to push through, since you probably hate it. Basic stage blue discipline is still needed (to some degree). The upside of HS is - if you learn how to socialize you can have lots of sex and get some of your survival needs in check before you go all out on the higher stuff. Also, without HS education you will often feel like a failure which others will affirm. Which will stop only after you get some business success. If you really can't stand HS then transfer to online school and meet your social needs through going to clubs on weekends TLDR: If you aren't able to understand the HS material (you haven't really talked about your reasoning, so I assume this is a part of the problem) you don't have enough self mastery to become successful at your LP / business. You also will benefit from the socialization aspect of HS.
  13. Well, if you're asking that then you haven't realized that you don't exist.
  14. LP (either through the course or if you are confident enough you can try to find it out on your own) + equanimity (before equanamity you have to develop mindfulness!). + Becoming better overall
  15. - 6 x 10 minutes is good, but you should move towards making it 1 x 60 minutes. Maybe next week change it up to 4 x 15 minutes and so on until you manage to do 1 x 60 minutes comfortably. - What technique do you do? You should maybe start with something basic like breath counting for the first month (or until you can do 1 hour straight) then move on to something more potent like Vipassana, preferably body scanning. After you get OK at bodyscanning you should start listening to dharma talks during your sessions (that way you train your peripheral awareness as well as concentration while also getting a "transmission"). - read MCTB by Daniel Ingram - after you do this you should go to a mediation retreat - Vipassana center if you want to receive in depth instruction about body scanning or on your own if it doesnt fit your schedule (but in that case I would probably use the noting technique since it is way easier to learn https://eudoxos.github.io/cfitness/html/index.html - dont use too crazy techniques until you get good at this Stuff like do nothing is amazing but you should have some kind of base skill before you implement it
  16. Spirituality is about loving yourself in all your fucked-up-ness to death :-). When you become more aware of your ego it can become stronger because it "wants you" to identify with it. When you act like an egomaniac just be aware that it's not you in the true sense. There's nothing inherently bad with being arrogant. Just try to make your arrogance accurate to how you actually are.
  17. No, that just means meditation (or whatever spiritual practice(s) you're doing) is starting to work for you. It will get a lot more crazy when you become a proficient meditator.
  18. If you're fasting to be more productive: 4 hour eating window works better than 2h (you'd probably have 1 -2h one if you ate one meal a day). Because you still need calories! Let's say you start working at ~9 in the morning. You can have your first meal at ~20. That way you can get as much quality work in as you need. Maybe at 20 eat some fruit, then have first big(ger) meal 1 hour later and then the last meal maybe 1h later too. Intermittent fasting for that long will make you hungry enough to not have a problem with eating ~3000 kcal in 4 hours. And you can do your unproductive stuff while digesting.
  19. Do you see this awareness?
  20. I react to l-theanine strongly too. Do you drink it on an empty stomach by chance?
  21. The more you realize this the more yellow you are Learning about the higher stages from someone else for x amount of time also moves you up a bit. Good point.
  22. Whose free will?
