I'd actually put Julien and Tyler at yellow. Some of there content is way more advanced than just pick up. However their market is definitely orange so I think they can easily slip into orange as that's where the money is

If we accept that basically everyone is living an illusion, most times actively living an illusion or seeking new illusions, then the world from an objective point of view is a complete mess. Now I know an enlightened view is that everything is as it should be and I agree with that, as I'm aware this is a necessary stage in human development. But honestly what a strange time to be alive, everyone (including myself) is literally deluded and crazy lol. Even those making laws, those in control of masses of people. We live thinking that there's salvation for us if only we can find the right relationship or job, even though there's hard evidence this doesn't work. They call it hope or human spirit, delusion is celebrated. We live in a world where truth is frowned upon, where convenient ideas are raised up to keep everyone placated, those who know some of the workings exploit others that don't. I don't know sometimes I just see the insanity of it all and when you try to tell people (I gave this up long ago) you yourself look kind of crazy within the context, or at best someone might say 'hmm interesting thought'. What gives me hope (yes irony) though is communities like this, where even if we are still deluded to some extent, we are actively attempting to look over the fence and see what is really there. The fact that Leo has so many subscribers and that if I see someone like Mooji I'm joined by many others.

It's definitely not OCD cos no part of OCD is fun

Fully appreciate what you're saying, I've had it for as long as I can remember so I know first hand how bad it is. But what I've learnt is that it doesn't help when you identify yourself as OCD. So let me elaborate on how I think it helps with awakening, everyone has the deeper no self and everyone has an ego, it's possible that you could like your ego and thus never really try and look beyond it, like if you're having a nice dream there's no reason for you to want to wake up. Now if I have OCD what that means is I think I'm my thoughts, so for example if I believe I'm going to hurt someone I really think that's the case in my mind. But in reality that's not true but I can't see that because I'm completely identified with these thoughts. Then I might realise these thoughts aren't me, but maybe compulsions still happen which keeps it alive and I'm getting frustrated because I can see it's not me but there's seemingly nothing I can do to stop the thoughts. Then I give up and do nothing and really realise these thoughts are just happenings they're not me. Then it's not a massive step to realise all thoughts are just happenings and not me. So OCD is like being in a nightmare and if you're in it all you want to do is wake up

Also have OCD, and I agree with @Elysian in that ultimately the solution is to completely accept thoughts and not react to them, as terrible as they might be. The hard thing is that when we have it we feel like we need to 'do' something to get rid of it. It's weird hearing the stages laid out in that way because I notice within myself I have periods of complete non-reaction to the thoughts which I guess you could call samadhi, but they are temporary. So I guess to attain it permanently you almost have to trust that inaction is the solution more than action is and obviously a good practice for that is meditation. Another thing that helped me is just the idea are thoughts aren't actually that important they just happen, when they feel important it's almost like you attach to them and become them, so it's really seeing this illusion. As hard as it is I think OCD offers a real imperative to become enlightened, because the day to day is so unbearable we are highly incentivised to not react to our thoughts. So although it is a torture I truly believe it can be a (hard) path to awakening. Also practical things like exercise, diet etc can help but aren't instant cures obviously

I think a big issue is that there's not many others on the same level of consciousness as a turquoise person, so there is always going to be a power dynamic between the turquoise person and others. So if someone turquoise finds another attractive esp if they're a guru, most likely they would be a follower or look up to that person so it must be difficult to separate that. It's kind of like someone working in an office and they get with the boss. Did they really like the boss or just the power? Obviously power dynamics happen all over society, but with the guru there seems to be something more to it because followers tend to look at them as a god. Also they don't mention sex normally so when someone hears it they might get taken a back as they thought they were above that. Only Osho really mentioned sex that I know of

Technically capitalism should work fairly, markets decide what's valuable. So for example a footballer brings value in that so many people are interested in it and there's only so many people that can play at the highest level which is why they're paid so much as they generate so much. The reason capitalism comes across as unfair is that it can very easily be manipulated, for example those behind it can make football seem more valuable than it is and convince people that they should be interested in it. Also it doesn't take into account the value of things that don't necessary generate money but are essential for society like police, fire, even cleaning. So it has many flaws and holes and can easily be corrupted but by itself it's not necessarily unfair. For example if everyone was a higher consciousness ie green, yellow or above, capitalism would be a good way to organise society. But because everyone is so worried about survival and getting one over on each other it doesn't really work. It's like religion, at its core it makes sense but its corruption lies in the practitioners

If you can understand it then its worth reading but dont be disheartened if it doesnt resonate with you. Id probably recommend some eckhart tolle or Alan Watts books to start with. Theres a lot of Oshos teachings on youtube as well which maybe a bit easier to digest -
No I don't think heartbreak is an ego backlash in that it's a reaction to loss. There's nothing wrong with feeling your emotions and loss is a very real one. Where the ego can come in is the projection of what that loss is, for example if you think that person is going to complete you and you were always destined to be together then the ego will react to that obviously more than the reality of the situation. So its important to realise what stories you're framing romantic love around, it's very susceptible to such stories because of the constant narratives we've heard about what love is or should be. So essentially your ego backlash is always a reaction to what it thinks should be vs what actually is

Hey guys, I shot a video this morning to do with how a human goes from pre-having, having then to being, I feel like it can help make things a bit clearer in terms of that transition from having to being (i dont really like to use the E word). So anyway have a look hopefully it helps someone and i know you might be thinking 'ah its a long vid and this aint Leo' but give it a chance maybe theres some info in there that would be worth you time. Anyway Love and Being

Ive had this in the past and it still gets me on and off, sometimes i fully understand that i have to let it be and it subsides but sometimes it freaks me out. But i think thats what Charlotte is saying that theres normal anxiety that everyone gets and its about accepting that as well, so anxiety in itself cant be cured as its a human reaction but it can be lessened and reacted to differently to get to 'normal' levels

I'll check him out, I try and get my mind fucked as much possible -
I like some of rsd and I resonate more with Tyler and Julien, mainly because I like the inner game stuff. Regardless of what you do I think it's most important to develop inwardly and game can be a great way to do that.

12 monkeys messed with me for while, I went on a whole time travel rabbit hole. Total recall the Arnold one messes with you. Source code is one of my favourites as well. I havent seen a good one for a while though -
I get what you mean in that it can seem hypocritical or unkind to charge for spiritual teachings especially with regard to the above quote. But I think this comes down to us having an emotional attachment to money, meaning that for us giving money or spending especially on something like this brings up feelings of 'i worked for this why I'm going to give to this person'. The fact is what she's doing has value, which is to say people are willing to pay for it. If she put down all her costs for equipment, time etc people would be willing to cover them for her if they get value from her work. So how would it be possible for her to give this value for people and survive without being reimbursed for it? If she wasn't able to be reimbursed for it, she wouldn't be able to consistently give content, of which most is free actually. As @aurum said it's a scarcity mindset thinking that someone shouldn't get paid for what they do, this mindset thinks that they're trying to hustle them because they themselves can't imagine doing work without hustling people or focusing on the money. So it becomes a projection of how their mindset and they assume that others operate on that level as well

Ok so it seems like you're putting a lot of your contentment in the hands of your ex but also potentially, in the hands of a future gf. Point being take responsibility for yourself and become self-sufficient, your life shouldn't be based around you getting a girlfriend. What I'd advise is to get to a stage where you don't 'need' a girl but maybe you want to spend time with a girl. Meaning it's actually rather than something you think you have to do. I'd actually say read books like 'way of the superior man' and 'models', also maybe some pua stuff like rsd. This is just to get you out of your current psychology, not saying become a pua necessarily. You say you want to go to India but you seem to have a lot of things that you haven't fully understood and let go of yet. I'd say just live your life and do what you need to do for you, once you get to that stage you can make a better informed decision like going to India or whatever else

The film Lucy is similar to the matrix, it shows a woman going from orange all the way to turquoise and above, but is kind of weird because of the action side of it but I liked it. Also highly recommend 'Her' also with Scarlett Johansson, man falls in love with his os but his os is constantly evolving and develops consciousness above the man, really liked this film actually, anyone seen it? -
Just to preface im not christian or any religion really but i stumbled upon this guys videos, he generally does break downs of symbolism in popular culture. I didnt actually realise he was christian til quite a few videos in. He doesnt try and explain that there is a material god etc but he does explain how god exists, which i found quite interesting so just sharing, ive posted the vid below but if you look on his channel theres some more good vids. I believe hes a yellow thinker, which ive never seen in people that identify as religious so thats why he peaked my interest

What I found interesting with this whole series of events is the karma and negative energy started off by McGregor and then condoned by the UFC in a way to make as much money as possible. Obviously McGregor says crazy stuff in fight build ups which I was likened to pro wrestling in the show and theatre of it, like he's playing a character, which can have negative effects if the other fighter isn't in on it (but even this is bad enough). But when McGregor attacked the bus, actually injuring other fighters and then it being condoned and even rewarded by the UFC, he introduced a karma into the sport that can really ruin it if it continues. UFC had the opportunity to ban him or at least suspend him for a year or so but they chose not to because they knew how much money they could make from him, so essentially putting money ahead of integrity. I do believe there's loads of positive aspects of MMA, the discipline , the dedication of the sport and for me, I know there's a lot of people here that will say it's 2 chimps bla bla, but actually it does a great job of moving people from red to blue consciousness and can also help with ongoing discipline, so anything that can move people forward is good imo. But cut to Saturday night, because of the lack of integrity of the UFC, Khabib knows if he takes the actions he did nothing will happen to him, which means he has no respect for the UFC with good reason, although I'm not condoning his actions. So you can see that really it's the UFC's actions that have lead to this and Dana White can say it's disgusting but they set the scene to allow this to happen. On a wider scale this action by Khabib, if it's not punished, will be seen as one to aspire to by youngsters watching, which will completely destroy any kind of positive karma the UFC does put into the world. So to conclude this is a case of money over integrity

33 feeling old at all the teenagers in here lol. It's really cool a lot of people starting so young, I wouldn't have been able to get my head around this stuff at that age

I think he's decent, I watch some of his stuff. Why I think it's good is because it becomes more relatable if it's someone who's is younger and talks in the same kind of way you may talk and has the same references etc. It also demystifies some teachings, essentially all teachings are similar but it's really they're conveyed and how you can practically use it. If what he says resonates with you then go for it. I think a lot of the time we worry about the teacher rather than the message, which I guess you should to an extent, but if what he's saying makes sense to you then take if it doesn't then don't. Also in Juliens particular case I think the media scandal thing really humbled him, and it was a big gamble to go into this type of content coming from pick up, as he would've lost a lot of people who just liked him for that. So for me he is so what authentic
