    It wasn't while high. It was just after a deep 5meo trip, I was in the come down having an amazing shower.

    Then it just happened. I can describe coral as extreme maturity. I have no doubt it was coral because I had the exact same feeling as when I was in yellow and had my first glimpse into turquoise. I had to search what was after turquoise and I wasn't even working for it. It felt like such a rippening of my psyche that I was sure it was beyond turquoise.

    Coral stage embodies profound wisdom, holistic intelligence, and embracing the inherent nature of existence, alongside a sense of innocent vitality. It's like amalgamating the richness of an 80-year-old's lived experiences with the boundless curiosity and zest for life reminiscent of a child.

    It was an extraordinary glimpse and I know that a lot of work has to be done still to be in stage coral , particularly on the side of shadow and survival in the world. Being able to live freely as I am, for myself and in my own terms, will stabilize me in coral. For now, I'm happy where I am and I'm just trusting the unfoldment of the proccess while filling the holes and blindspots of lower levels of psychological development.

    Thank you

    You are confusing states with stages. The whole point of SD is that we are talking about developmental stages not peak states. So looking at it through those lens is very narrow, although it may have some utility.

    Some weeks ago, post 5meo trip I had for the first time an exploration into coral SD. In this sense we can say that there are tools that allow some kind of glimpses and there are states that overlap with how a development stage would feel like. However, this kind of approach towards Spiral Dynamics is very nuanced and usually leads to confusion for the untrained eye.

    Can you explain your feeling of coral into more details when you were high.....

    Heh. I’m dating someone whose name is the same as a famous Star Wars character. They refused to ever watch Star Wars and hate it simply because they kept being teased about being that character growing up.

    So I told them that we should watch Star Wars on a future date… maybe that’ll help recontextualize the whole situation ;)

    (Our Midi-chlorian count happens to also be through the roof when we’re together, so that also helps :-p)

    your situation is actually cute and funny and you can be creative in a million ways, mine just  stinks of "incest vibes" cause of big family I guess and traumas we went through together so my mind doesn't need one more lol.

    Ha! My sister was told off recently for making out too aggressively. 

    The guy she was making out with also happened to share the same first name as me.

    Man, the universe is weird as fuck.

    if someone I like has the same name from my family (there 8 of us) it's instant switch off, everything is closed, shop is closed!

    There are several issues that I haven’t seen addressed here that one may consider.   These tend to come up in ceremonies, but most here seem to go it alone.   The first is trauma informed facilitation.  Most facilitators are ignorant of trauma and don’t know how to guide or help you which means you will be retraumatized instead of receiving healing.   I don’t use the word “shaman” anymore because in the West there are no shaman, they are facilitators.   The other issue is possession.  There is the possibility of being possessed by spiritual entities, or an entity expecting you to serve it upon receiving help.  You wont believe this until it happens.   The other big issue, of course, is integration – how to use the medicines to transform your life rather than being a one night experience that just becomes another memory.

    just what I "need", my first Ayahuascu ceremony and I get possessed, just my luck lol. sarcasm to max.
