Spiral Wizard

What is an effective way to build your dream (10/10) social life? How do you find like-minded friends or people that are on the same wavelength? Conscious people are so rare... The best way I found so far is to become a "high-value" person (get your shit sorted), host social events, and build a personal brand around your purpose.

Have you ever lost your drive/fire/hunger or maybe even passion for your purpose/vision/work? How did you gain it back? I am not excited about building my business anymore even though this is a necessary stepping stone for my vision and life purpose which is the most important thing for me... Do I just need to stop being such a pussy, man up, and create momentum until motivation kicks back in again (good old discipline)? After getting deep into self-actualization I demonized SD stage orange (where I came from). I did not just demonize the toxic aspects but also the healthy ones like work ethic/discipline/etc. I threw out the baby with the bathwater, which created a big shadow. Now, after one year, I kind of integrated stage orange and slowly gained back some of my drive/fire/hunger (it is not at 100% again).

@UDT Unfortunately, my early friendships withered away because we just did not share any interests anymore. When you work on yourself and develop at insane rates how do you prevent losing interest in friends that do not? It is a recurring theme in my life that I meet new people but outgrow them within 3-6 month. It is a blessing and a curse... I mean, I still like them and we keep contact but those relationships are just not fulfilling. I miss having someone that is 100% on my wavelength or even 80% haha I miss the conversations where you resonate on such a high level that hours pass like minutes... It is so fucking rare!

@UDT Wow, very insightful! @nistake yikes, have you followed your own advice or did you meet those 2-3 people by circumstance/accident? @Rolo Yeah, it hurts to lower my standards but I agree. This is quite applicable/practical advice because SD stage green is kind of the last stage that is “readily available” haha, all stages above are just too rare (I did not mean to be harsh or to talk down on anyone, this is just the most direct way to put it). Stage green folks are also pretty much defined by the “ideal” attributes of a good friend: communal, kind, social, open, etc. @aurum thank you! @tsuki I like that! @StarStruck agree.

@Michal__ very interesting! Is fasting just increasing your mental clarity and therefore your productivity or also your Drive / Fire / Hunger? At 11:30 he states that hunger for food made him more hungry for life haha If you stop overindulging in food or restrict yourself from such dopamine activities your discipline and passion increase naturally. I guess your weekly fast can be compared to a dopamine detox ritual.

@SirVladimir I like that haha I worked for over a year on it and last month it finally started getting off the ground. I am reinvesting some of the revenue to outsourcing the most time consuming/tedious tasks. Less than one year! Not really. I would have to do some research. I think that this is the biggest hurdle. I just don’t really know where to start when it comes to building my social life at the moment. I assume that it will be much easier once I have the time to master it and maybe even travel. The thing is that I like to go all in on an area in my life until it’s either on a high level or mastered. I am already kind of overwhelmed by juggling school, business and my health... The downside is an unbalanced life. Right now, I do not have the recourses or the time to bootstrap my social life. It seems like a waste of time to invest time into my social life (at the moment) since I am not in the position (yet) to connect with the people I truly resonate with. That’s why I tend to prefer just gritting my teeth until I graduate.

@SirVladimir Really good advice/question! I am not sure, I will have to do more introspection. For now, I guess that it would help a lot if I got my social- (& dating) life back on track. I feel as though without an active social life I lose a lot of energy (I am an extrovert / ENTP). Why did I lose touch with almost all of my friends? Mainly because I am not interested in being friends with unconscious people that are not personal development junkies. I wish I could enjoy such relationships but I genuinely cannot... On top of that I have very little time since I am building a business while still being a student & last but not leat, massive health issues temporarily made me become a complete recluse (stable right now). It is kind of a dilemma. Gaining my drive/fire/hunger back to work on my business is KEY to getting my social life back on track (because it will open up doors to the people I resonate with) & being able to do other things that make me more fulfilled (travel/spirituality/etc). The dilemma: Without these very things/this "result" I lose drive/fire/hunger lol. I am also not that passionate about my current business, it is just a cash cow that will open the doors to my life purpose. I know that this is the right, nonetheless, it sucks because... hmm... I actually do not know why. I should be grateful for my position and excited about the future... @Michael569 Yes I am! Currently, I am building an advertising agency. But as already mentioned this is just a stepping stone. I spent a lot of time creating a crystal clear vision (& action plan). To sum it up, this is it: l will reform this era by shaking up the education system and therefore raise the collective consciousness of our society. I am going to build the biggest spiral dynamics stage yellow education platform, which will contribute to moving humanity up the spiral. To manifest this dream I will focus the next few years on broadening my horizon & flipping the script in the online education industry. I am committed to fully exhausting SD tier one (especially stage orange and green) for the next decade to go all-in on spirituality ASAP. @Michal__ I did last year (different business), which was one of the reasons why I demonized stage orange so much and wanted to go all-in on spirituality even though I had no foundation (big holes in the lower stages of Maslow's pyramid of needs). This mini trauma is pretty much healed.

1.000.000 Leo, you are epic What is your bucket list? What are your biggest regrets? What does your current social- & dating life look like? Is it fulfilling? Do you have friends that you really like and resonate with? How old would you like to get (while being fit & healthy) if you could pick any age? When will SD stage yellow & turquoise be mainstream? Where do you see humanity in 50/100/500/1000/etc. years? Where do you see yourself in 5/10/30 years? What direction do you want to take? Western philosophy/intellectual like Peter Ralston or eastern philosophy/saint/mystic like sadhguru? How would you reform the education system? Favorite countries to travel?

Leo tried to warn people in the video you can see above very explicitly and mentioned this trap countless times in other videos (toxic life purpose, ego development, spiral dynamics, advice for young people, etc). "Transcend and include" -Ken Wilber This is a key concept. If you do not fully integrate tier one you will inevitably develop pathologies and shadows later on. It was hard for me to temporarily pause 'going all-in on' spirituality. It sucks at first but it is worth it long term. You have to be a strategic motherfucker! Check out this post:

Wasn't that the key to Martin Balls' liberation? He said that many short trips (the many openings and closings of the ego) are what permanently cracked it open. Might this be more effective for "permanent enlightenment"? What are your thoughts on that?

Do not watch this if you are underage or if you cannot handle brutality! The most "relevant" scene starts at 38:00 and ends at about 52:00. Skip through it as fast as you want, just try to get the gist. This is not an ironic question. Is it actually (not theoretically in some armchair-philosophy-wonderland) possible to embody such a high level of consciousness to genuinely love this?! On a conceptual level, I understand that good and evil are relative. It is a stretch but with a bit of imagination, I could believe (I know that it is not about believing) that it is possible to actually LOVE EVERYTHING. (ex.: I am not so happy about the revenge at the end as most people in the comments) Leo mentioned rape several times in different videos to underline that even the things most people view as inherently evil are actually not evil at all. Nonetheless, as long as we are in this human form/incarnation/etc. certain limits are part of this illusion and the actual horror of Infinity is incomprehensibly INFINITE. Even though enlightened saints may have high moral development (+ opinions, preferences, etc.) and therefore would not support this, can they (or anyone else) love something like this or something infinitely "worse" as much as anything else (ex.: as much as all the "good" stuff)?

Do Not Fear. This Too Shall Pass.

Powerful.

LMFAO It is mind-boggling to me that we allegedly all belong to the same species... It is easy to forget how much ignorance there is in this world and hard to love it.

Wow. This shit is crazy. @Osaid & @Rilles thank you so much for sharing! @Leo Gura I totally agree. That said, SD stage green (& femininity) can be a powerful tool when it comes to helping criminals re-enter society:

Why?

Good idea. signed as well lol

lmfao signed.

Scientific reasons behind self-biases: interesting. Leo already elaborated upon cognitive-biases in great length and detail. Especially from the metaphysical perspective. This video adds some interesting points about the "necessity" of or reasons behind why self-biases exist (it is not all bad). Understanding this definitely helps me to demonize ego / survival / self-bias / etc. less and nature's intelligence more. Still appreciating this is hard when shit hits the fan. Compassion and Love require so much courage and understanding...

that's a stage yellow wet dream...

@Akemrelax some leaders might seem selfish relative to your stage of development but as far as my understanding goes the leader should be more selfless and developed relative to his followers. So for example, if you have a purple tribe there will probably not be a beige ruler, but a red one and so one... The leader is a good one if he is 1 or 2 stages ahead. At least that is what @Leo Gura mentioned in one of his videos. Of course, there are collective ego backlashes, which results in "leaders" like Trump, but it should be quite obvious that this whole situation is pretty dysfunctional...

I am not awakened yet, so I am not completely sure about this... but... Does total infinity mean that every movie, book, game, fantasy, etc. is actually real? Is EVERY POSSIBILITY lived through by God / an ego / a subject / a conscious being? If so, how fucked up is that?! I know I will get there someday but for now, I cannot imagine how I would be able to actually love, enjoy, or accept such infinite degrees of suffering, pain, darkness, etc. This blows my fucking mind... Is it even possible for a human to be neutral about or enjoy something unimaginable horrible or is there always a limit to one's tolerance as long as one is in this limited human form? What are the craziest ramifications of total infinity you realized?

@StarStruck That’s amazing! Dr. Joe Dispenza always resonated with me. Which techniques, books or courses have you applied or which do you recommend? @AlwaysBeNice love it! Could you define what “consistent and committed meditation” means to you? (Ex.: 1h every day for at least 1 year before one can expect such results?) May I ask you to also elaborate on your techniques? (“especially through falling asleep awake can do it”) I experimented with deep meditation before falling asleep and concentration during the day when I am most alert. Not sure yet which brings more value into my life... PS.: Thanks in advance!

@Leo Gura how do you know that? You are not even 40 years old lol You and Martin Ball mentioned that even though you did not take any 5-MeO-DMT for days (or weeks) you continued tripping your balls off. Maybe there are ways to crack your natural chemical gates open... Whether it is through 30-day DMT retreats, deep meditation or lucid dreaming, do you really know what is possible? The same way N,N-DMT increased in potency for you (after 5-MeO), meditation could become your next big thing. Some even claim that there are yogis who can consciously/deliberately induce psychedelic like states. Psychedelics on the other hand throw you into an almost uncontrollable experience.
