    Jamie Wheal wrote in his new book "Recapture The Rapture" what he calls Cheat Codes for the Infinite Game. Curious to hear what others think. He claims it's the only Western distillation of Truth that is not tied to dogma or tradition...

    The Game has an infinite number of levels in an infinite number of dimensions.

    ■ The purpose of the Game is to remember you are playing it (anamnesis).

    ■ The more levels of the Game you remember you’re playing, the more fun (and
    consequential) the Game becomes.

    ■ Higher levels of the Game bleed through into 3D: They often show up as
    coincidences, synchronicities, or absurdity. This is a “known issue” best taken as a
    reminder that the Game is afoot (and held loosely).

    ■ The 3D level is the access point to all the other levels of the Game. If you die at the
    3D level of the Game, it is Game Over (unless or until proven otherwise). So no
    matter what, don’t die in 3D!

    ■ Don’t say anything, or think anything that you don’t want to become more true.

    ■ Once you’ve figured out the Game, help turn as many NPCs (nonplayer characters)
    into Players and Players into Architects as you can.

    ■ Stay awake. Build stuff. Help out.

    Is it "true" that I as God will experience life through each individual's limited ego perspective, since God is infinite? In other words, I as God will experience life through "the eyes" of each person I pass by on the street in another lifetime? Therefore, if I punch someone in the face, I will experience the pain of the punch when I reincarnate as that person, so therefore I would never want to cause another harm (in theory at least)?

    Is this train of thought on-point?

    One of his strengths is also one of his limitations: he sees the entire world through the lens of trauma. It's an important and super valid lens, but ultimately if it's the ONLY lens it becomes a distorted view of reality and limits other perspectives which could actually further inform the trauma topic and provide a more multi-perspectival approach. I'm not saying Gabor doesn't independently research these other lenses on his own, but when he speaks publicly, he almost exclusively speaks with trauma-tinted glasses on, which makes sense given it's his speciality, but again, has limitations as well. Someone with a center of gravity at Yellow would be more likely to bring in other dimensions and create a more complex map of reality. For example, Jamie Wheal is a neuroscientist but doesn't only talk about the world through that lens because he sees how limited that one viewpoint is in understanding the full portrait of humanity.

    I might be taking the Sensemaking course with RW. Currently taking their Live Player course which I feel has been excellent so far. Yes, it's a good way to meet likeminded folks out there :)

    Agree, a video where Leo talks more in-depth about the limitations of Stage Yellow would be interesting, though I suspect by the time most people are at Stage Yellow they're already fairly aware of what those limitations are ;)

    Watched this @Leo Gura video again today and have a few questions:

    1. This somewhat elaborate explanation of Reality as being an infinite number of fractals with different degrees of consciousness all working towards reuniting in the singularity (Godhead) makes sense but feels counter to some of Leo's other teachings which are along the lines of, "You are God. This is it. What you are experiencing right now is the entire Universe." How can there be both an infinite number of fractals as well as only this one experience being perceived right here right now? Is what I'm experiencing right here right now simply one fractal or the entire Universe? Or both (and if so, how)?

    2. Does God/Love have a preference or desire between:

    -Humans evolving for centuries longer (hence getting closer to Godhead)

    -Humans blowing themselves up with nuclear bombs

    Is one preferred by Love, or are they both equally Love since the nature of everything is Love? If the latter, besides for our selfish human survival desires, is there also a metaphysical or God/Love reason to not blow ourselves up with nuclear bombs?

    3. Perhaps I'm misrepresenting Leo, but in some of his latest videos I remember he says something like post-awakening there's really nothing left to do, but since he'd be bored doing anything else he just keeps making videos because it's fun and helps him deepen his own awakening. But in the video below, he makes a strong case for why being loving is so important and serving others, as if there are "others" to serve. Leo, thanks for any clarifications around this and how it relates to Life Purpose post-awakening.

    According to an enneagram coach assessment I am a 5w4w1 

    Do you identify with the perfectionism of 1? 

    I don't know much about 2 ...

     

    @TurquoiseAngel The Enneagram works by having one primary number and one wing. So you couldn't be three numbers. Do you mean you are a 5 with a 4 wing? 

    Yes, the 1 fits me hand in glove. It's why I felt this particular map was so useful, because I truly embody so many of the characteristics of a 1, although I've outgrown most of the shadow aspects by now, or at least I'm aware of them and can recognize the patterning when it arises. 

    These women have a funny channel that is a good way to get a gist of each number.

    It's simply another map to help us understand our egos. I found it invaluable in recognizing some of my patterning, and it also helped me connect more with others. It's similar to Myers-Briggs but offers more tools for how to "integrate" into the highest version of our type. 

    What number are you? I'm a 1 w/ 2 wing.

    It appears clear to me that there's two factions of Stage Green with some overlap (think of a Venn diagram): 

    1. Woke Green (more politically oriented)

    2. New Age Green (more spiritually oriented) 

    Nearly all my New Age Green friends are opposed to the vaccine, including my girlfriend. Distrust of anything Orange is a natural and somewhat healthy part of moving through Green, though with the vaccine stuff it appears to me that this sentiment has been hijacked by group think and mass rebellion. I wrote an essay about my decision to get the vaccine using Spiral Dynamics to describe the various memetic tribes at play:

    @tuckerwphotography  Ken Wilber is using analogy of grammatical structure. If you understand green grammar you are green, if you understand yellow structures you are yellow. In this case embodiment is secondary. In my opinion it is hard to assess your own centre of gravity - there is no point of reference.

    I would rather describe someone's type as low/high yellow instead of mixing colors. I would use green / yellow if someone is at transitioning at the moment.

    Anyway, I feel like it was pointless explanation :D

    @Username I don't think it's pointless. It's important that we talk about the stages with a shared understanding to limit confusion and mislabeling which could lead others (and ourselves) astray in our developmental journeys. 

    I've heard Wilber speak to center of gravity in many contexts, a few quotes below. Perhaps he also talks about grammatical structure, but I'm fairly confident that is not how he determines one's Integral Dev stage (could be wrong). 

     

    "Most educated adults are capable of a teal or turquoise level of cognition; but of those who have turquoise cognition, their self or center-of-gravity might be at turquoise, or green, or orange. So you can be turquoise or second tier in your cognition—your “talk”—but your center-of-gravity—your “walk”—might be at several different levels, orange to green to turquoise itself. In general, those with a center-of-gravity at turquoise are about 0.5% of the population; green, about 25% of the population; and orange, about 40% of the population.

    But what this really means is that, no matter what your center-of-gravity might be (orange or green or turquoise), you can light up turquoise cognition, and every time you do, it acts as a magnet on the other lines, helping to pull them up as well. And you light up turquoise whenever you use a second-tier model, such as AQAL, and begin to think about how it might apply to any situation. Even better is to use AQAL as an integral praxis or practice, but simply thinking about it and talking about it (or blogging about it) will light up turquoise and help you move more permanently to that wave." Ken Wilber

     

    “The ladder is much higher than the climber, who remains committed to the lower rungs. It’s one thing to tap into a higher level; quite another to actually live there! And the same thing can happen with spiritual experiences. People can temporarily access some very high rungs in the ladder or circle of awareness, but they refuse to actually live from those levels—they won’t actually climb up there. Their center of gravity remains quite low, even debased”
