So where would you recommend I get started

Is it me or is the LPC complete ass. It's unnecessarily long as fuck, and most of the videos are expendable. I came to learn one thing: my life purpose. It's probably important to know my values, fears, and whatever. But, even those areas are murky for me at best if you are to follow directions and contemplate values, fears, etc. for the recommended time. Most of the exercises don't tell you anything about yourself at all and are a complete waste of time. I feel like I would have been better off if I just thought about my life purpose for 3 hours instead of watching years of all these boring-ass videos.

I want to use Spiral Dynamics as a way to back up my research paper. Do I just label people however they want?

I want to explain to refute the myth that Greg Heffley in Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a sociopath, and instead explain that he is just stage orange.

I'm technically an adult now and I feel as though it would suit me to have an adult body as well. What is the best way of going about this?

@Yarco male pectoral muscles

Is anybody else having this problem? Like what the fuck this is the meat of the whole course and the reason I paid. When you click on the link you get a box that saids "Sorry this video does not exist"

I'm pretty sure this area of myself is in stage red and I want to ask how to get myself out of this rut. Basically, the problem is whenever I'm insulted or disrespected I feel the need for revenge always. I don't need to kill them, but at least equivalent or more. The stress that is caused by these grudges is unbearable, I carry around lots of anger inside of me. I also place heavy emphasis on loyalty (also stage red), which is seldomly reciprocated because I grew up in a green city and now am at an orange college. I'm sick of feeling this way and don't know how to rid myself of these feelings.

@Thought Art @Carl-Richard Funny thing is usually I don't say anything.

For the LPC, most of my values are negatively motivated, but the way I see it, it's necessary because I need the values to live the good life (things like courage or vigor). Technically, you are supposed to include things that would make you happy/fulfilled. Do I change it?

@Bob Seeker So should I keep the values list as is because it is authentic to me, and trust that it will develop over time?

In a recent thread he claimed that Trump's tax policies actually helped his earnings and that he is "rich". Isn't this anti-spiritual and hypocritical to his teachings? Also, where is the money going? To savings? tf?? Another thing I always found fishy was how he lives in Las Vegas. The city was started by the mafia and his home to the most gaudy flashiest stores, restaurants, and strip clubs, but has close to nothing else to offer. He claims a big reason he lives there is because of taxes. Like jeezus, money is a LOT more important to this guy than I thought.

@Leo Gura What does being uncorrupted by corporate forces mean? Also does the money just sit in a bank account?

@undeather So... he rakes in money just because he can? The last three lines would apply to a lot of people, but unfortunately not to me in this case.

@Godhead You're making a straw man of what I typed out. Of course you don't need to be poor to be spiritual. I'm asking why he needs the money. I wonder what he uses it for. @Yarco Nobody's mad except you lmao. You don't need an income of over 400k to meditate everyday. And, if you were actually spiritually developed you would understand that being impoverished isn't the worst thing in the world. Leo biggest contribution to the world is his YouTube channel which doesn't require a fortune to run. But if he's making lifestyle choices specifically revolving around money, then clearly it's important to him. And, it's definitely not so he can buy nice things. It could be because he wants to be able to afford certain things, but not for the purpose of luxury.

This post comes with a bit of sad news because my friend told me that my other friends didn't want too hangout with me anymore because I was being douchey. I don't want to make this post about me so I'll just say that I'm really sad and confused. Are there any high quality books, seminars etc. that can help me understand friendship and how to have the deep understanding with others I crave. I feel like it's secondary nature for others and for me it's so difficult. It's harder than getting laid. Especially books on male social circles would be really appreciated.

@Nahm no

@Nahm no, she was ugly @Chew211 so can you tell me what they are

@Nahm Well, I can only guess because they cut me off by removing me from the group chat. They said I was being douchey the time we hung out before Thanksgiving. But, if I had to guess it was because they thought I liked their friend to which I responded I didn't and proceeded to name off qualities which I didn't like about her. If I had to guess it was in the works though, this was not just because of a one time thing.

It's a long story, but yesterday I was hanging out with some crips. I was scared shitless the whole time. I feel like I wasn't as scared of stage red people before learning about spiral dynamics. Now that I know what they're capable of, I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing and getting beat the fuck up.

@Terell Kirby It was a college party, and somebody invited crips. Also, I'm from the Bay Area, so I would like to know how to deal with stage red, because the majority of the homelessness population is red

@Eren Eeager @Opo At one point one of the crips made fun of me because they were trying to get with a girl I brought. I'll include it cuz it was kinda funny: Crip: "What you do around here, get faded and shake yo booty?", *nods to his friend* "We should pimp this n*gga out". Obviously, I felt embarrassed and sad, but like what was I gonna do, talk back? I didn't want them to be like "What you say bro?" followed by an ass whooping.

@Opo They would probably laugh at me if I started talking about green stuff, but I'm more curious about how to deal with them. There are a ton of stage red people in America, especially where I'm from.

I would say I'm 40-60% stage green, but the music of stage green is emotionally unbearable. I listen to stage orange music- pop and rap, but whenever someone plays or I try to listen on my own to stage green indie music, my body physically reacts. Why is it so damn emotionally uncomfortable.
