Having re-watched @Leo Gura Spiral Dynamics stage Turquoise video I am posting here my notes that I manually took from the video. No AI was used whatsoever. Enjoy! This is the final set of notes for the Spiral Dynamics stages. What is the essence of Turquoise? Holistic Global Collectivist Self-Transcendent Once again the pendulum is swinging. It went from Yellow which was individualistic, and now it's swinging back to the collective ego which puts an emphasis on collectivism. The collectivism in Turquoise differs from the collectivism of Green which was about joining a group and serving the group identity The collectivism of Turquoise consists of manifesting the self for the benefit of existential reality. Not for your Stage Green political party! But for the benefit of existential reality. For life as a whole! The essence of Turquoise is also to experience the wholeness of existence through mind and spirit The world is seen as a single dynamic organism with its own collective mind Everything connects to everything else A lot of boundaries break down There are a lot of ecological alignments for turquoise The universe is alive and intelligent. It’s not a dumb stone cold clockwork machine Turquoise is interested in building a human community based on mystical wisdom. Cooperative action for elevating the consciousness of mankind Turquoise is a synthesis of the left and the right brain. East and West. Science and religion. Mind body spirit and heart. Turquoise takes a very big picture of what life is about. It is not about the individual of becoming rich or successful, it is not about fighting for some political cause! It is about getting all of mankind to awaken to the magnificence of existence You won't find Turquoise in government, in politics, in education, in business, in the media etc Most people have never meet a turquoise human being People at Turquoise usually become gurus, sages, teachers, leaders, visionaries, healers and clairvoyance. Usually they start their own little communities When does Turquoise emerge? Turquoise emerges with the realization that Yellow has alone, no matter how much it models and understands stuff, It cannot solve the world's problems just its systemic understanding! There needs to be a community effort to work on these systemic problems that Yellow sees and that's when Turquoise emerges Turquoise emerges when Yellow starts to see that consciousness unifies everything and everyone The idea that consciousness is at the heart of every issue that Yellow tries to solve. Yellow must understand that only by changing the state of consciousness of a situation or a group of people there will be positive results. When Yellow starts to really see the limits of thinking and modelling and of reason and logic. When Yellow realizes that all the information that he has gathered so far, all his inquiries, have not led him to the ultimate answers. The ultimate answers have still not been answered at Yellow Turquoise emerges with very serious spiritual practices Turquoise is a flowering of mysticism When boundaries start to dissolve between self, other and the world. Physical boundaries With self-transcendence, with the dissolution of the ego With awareness of Maya, the dream that we are in When Yellow realises that the mind and understanding by itself doesn't bring him happiness. Yellow still suffers, is depressed and wants to transcend suffering, then Yellow starts to find a permanent solution to his unhappiness, so begins his path towards Turquoise Turquoise Values Consciousness Elevating the consciousness of mankind as a whole Truth. Existential Truth, metaphysical Truth Deep metaphysical insights Metaphysics Wisdom and the wisdom of mother earth. The wisdom of nature Mysticism Non duality Spirituality God and divinity Holism Integration and synthesis Integrating all religions and science Left and right brain synthesis Honesty Transparency Radical authenticity Turquoise values being as opposed to knowing, doing and having Simplicity Flowing with nature Minimalist sustainable living Collaborative synergy Human wellness Healing on every dimension ( The physical dimension, the emotional dimension, the spiritual dimension) Exploring altered states of consciousness Intuition Channelling or direct downloads from infinite intelligence Super natural degrees of creativity Spiritual purification Awakening Transcendence Liberation Unconditional love Compassion for all Emotional mastery Presence Mindfulness Paradox Esoteric teachings Gratitude Unity Deeper and deeper levels of interconnectedness Selfless living Sacrificing the self for greater consciousness of the whole Meditation Yoga Contemplation Self-inquiry Turquoise values not knowing Humility Spontaneity Playfulness Self-amusement Turquoise tends to be light hearted Really really big picture thinking and embodiment How to distinguish between Turquoise and Green Because both are communal and collectivistic pendulum wise, it is really easy to confuse between the two, so watch out! At Turquoise you start to have real mysticism whereas at Green you tend to have new-agey faddish sort of spiritual practices where you may take part in a spiritual group, you go to a Yoga class and do a little bit of meditation, or do meditation retreats here and there but it's not serious. You are doing it for like a health benefit or to calm your mind or to reduce anxiety. None of these have anything to do with real deep metaphysical meditation At Turquoise you start to have industrial grade levels of meditation and contemplation, not casual amateurism like what Green is doing. Turquoise is informed by direct non dual experiences rather than beliefs or ideas that Green got from reading a book. Green believes in a lot of things like reincarnation, a belief in Gaia, as a mother nature like design of intelligence, or belief in a soul or a belief in God! But these don't matter if you haven't directly experienced that stuff for yourself Turquoise embraces global collectivism without attacking individuality like the way Green did! With Turquoise everybody is allowed to be individualistic if they so choose. But at a same time there is a recognition of this sort of global collectivism that needs to happen Another difference is that Turquoise is conscious of the spiral and Turquoise is a spiral wizard being able to see the world from all these different perspectives in a way that Green wasn't able. Turquoise is not as triggered by social injustices as Green was. There is an acceptance and a deep understanding. The acceptance comes from a deep understanding of conflict, war, violence, greed. Green was just reacting against those unconscious characteristics , whereas Turquoise has deep existential understanding of these negative things. Turquoise is much more understanding of stage Orange. Doesn't demonize stage Orange the way Green does. Turquoise is not as political as Green, Turquoise doesn't take politics too seriously. Green loves to join its political causes, gets a little too militant to defend what Green believes in. Turquoise is a little more playful about the problems that go on socially although not ignorant. Turquoise avoids the mob mentalities that come with Green. In Turquoise there is an awareness of Ego, more mindfulness and more presence whereas Green lacks those traits. Turquoise tends to have much more emotional mastery than Green Turquoise tends to be non-reactive and detached whereas Green is very reactive and very attached Turquoise is quite effective at solving large problems whereas Green was more about getting together and protesting and complaining about stuff they don't like Characteristics of Turquoise Turquoise sees the human race as a single organism, everything is connected, this is not a metaphor, you actually see the dissolution of the physical boundary between self and other A fading of artificial boundaries of ethnicity, skin colour, gender, race, nationality, bloodlines To Turquoise, his mother is as related to him as his coffee table. All boundaries start to break down Turquoise sees the world as interlinked causes and effects as interacting fields of energy For turquoise there is joint activity across groups, factions and communities Feelings and emotions come back into play Work must be meaningful to the overall health of life There's a deep trust of intuition and instinct The self is a part of a large conscious spiritual whole Non manipulative Non-ideological Non judgemental Not driven by fear or selfless selfishness Doesn't play victim Doesn't play blame games Turquoise is far beyond Green faddish spirituality, Turquoise has direct experience of its spirituality and embodies spirituality Deeper spiritual and metal capacities are awakened. New senses, new abilities that you may think that are super human now become ordinary The development of paranormal abilities Healing abilities Astral projection Remote viewing The mystical becomes the mundane for Turquoise Inspiring levels of emotional mastery Minimalist living, less is more Ecologically conscious like Green and Yellow, maybe even more so now! Being a visionary Being an inspiring leader The unification of science, technology, medicine and mysticism A really deep understanding and unification of all religion For Turquoise collective imperatives reign supreme over individual egoic needs Turquoise is engaged in business. But it's gonna be business with soul. For Turquoise there is a sense of a greater community built around spiritual embodiment Turquoise represents the sixth and the seventh chakra, the third eye and the crown chakra Turquoise actions come from selfless love and an open heart Great mental and behavioural flexibility Sexual desire is transmuted into metaphysical love Turquoise loves to deal with paradox Post rational and post material Non-linear Human centred Super natural intuition High integrity For Turquoise the universe is both impersonal and deeply personal Conscious of the miracle of life Turquoise is now an even deeper systems thinker than Yellow was For Turquoise life consists of fractals Turquoise stands in awe at the cosmic order, like stars, clouds, trees, cars, plants, animals etc For Turquoise reality can be experienced but never truly known Dissolution of the ego A movement away from gross materialism to subtle stuff A shift from the external to the internal A transcendence of morality, meaning, judgement, life and death, duality, mind, reason, science, good and evil Turquoise is finally able to have really deep honest meaningful relationships beyond the shallow and petty clinginess and neediness and materialism that came with Tier 1. Examples of Turquoise Sadhguru Shunya Murti Thomas Campbell Yoda David Hawkins Ken Wilber Shinzen Young Deepak Chopra Stan Grof Osho Mooji Rupert Spira Ekchart Tolle's A new Earth book Ekchart Tolle's The Power of Now Eckhart Tolle Yogananda Martin Ball Terence McKenna Carl Jung Sri Aurobindo Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Ervin László David Loy Allan Watts Wim Hof Dalai Lama Sacha Shulgin Yoga Holotropic Breathwork The book the Holographic Universe The Akashic records Opening the third eye The penial gland Out of body experiences Samadhi experiences Paranormal abilities Clairvoyance Channels Mediums Rudolf Steiner Alternative healing systems The notion of Maya Psychedelics 5-MEO-DMT Rupert Sheldrake's morphogenetic fields Gandhi's ideas of pluralistic harmony The notion of Gaia, earth as a living system Biocentrism The Monroe institute The Esalen institute Transpersonal psychology as a field Quantum Field theory Sacred Geometry Reincarnation Opening chakras Saints Sages Mystics Prophets Turquoise Statistics Less than 0.1% of the global population is at Turquoise Less than 1% of the total world influence belongs to Turquoise The style of government under Turquoise is a holistic organism! Micro-management of all life forms towards the common good in response to macro problems. It is very globalist! The purpose of this government and this society is to elevate the consciousness of all of mankind Spiral Dynamics vs Non-Duality It is true that the higher you go on the spiral, the more consciousness the individual tends to exhibit, but make sure that you don't confuse stage Turquoise with strict non-duality. You can be in a non-dual state and not be at stage Turquoise Don't confuse Turquoise with Enlightenment or Non-Duality If someone is Enlightened, doesn't mean that he is Turquoise, and if someone is Turquoise, this doesn't mean that he is enlightened. The mantras of Turquoise Everything is one We are all God You are already enlightened Everything is perfect and at the same time everything is evolving To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower The kingdom of heaven is within Forgive them father for they know not what they do Life is a dream What triggers Turquoise? Not that much triggers Turquoise. Turquoise is acceptant and quite understanding of how Maya works, how ignorance works. Turquoise has developed quite a high degree of emotional maturity and mastery. The insanity of the world The status quo Myopia, the limited vision that people have Materialistic corruption Profits over truth and spirit Dogmatic scientism and rationalism Ecological dysfunction The collective suffering of mankind ( All the suffering that mankind is facing is largely self-inflicted) Little petty mundane survival stuff Limitations of Turquoise Turquoise is so sophisticated that it tends to not have any big limitations as the lower stages have Too mystical and too spiritual to the point of dropping all concerns for earthly problems Turquoise people tend to live in a bubble. In their own reality Developing a Guru Cult like complex For Turquoise life can become sort of meaningless Turquoise can deny the importance of the political issues Turquoise can assume that other people are just as capable of awakening as they are Turquoise can develop a mega tribe and in worst case scenarios it can clash with another Turquoise mega tribe Turquoise can be stuck on shallow states of enlightenment and non-dual experiences Warning There tends to be an over idealization of Turquoise. A big mistake would be to think of Turquoise as this perfect, Jesus like human being. Turquoise can make mistakes and behave wrongly just like anyone else. Turquoise doesn't mean that someone is a literal saint. Turquoise doesn't make you moral or good Turquoise doesn't make you special. Don't make the mistake of thinking that once you reach Turquoise your life will be perfect Turquoise doesn't make you enlightened Turquoise will not make you immune to false beliefs or to lower perspectives or cultural biases Turquoise doesn't make you immune to dangerous social ideas. Turquoise people are also capable of holding dangerous/unconscious political opinions What works well in Turquoise's head doesn't mean it will also work well in reality Turquoise is not immune of hurting others Turquoise is not immune of sexual cravings Turquoise is not immune to addictions But generally Turquoise will have transcended a lot of these unwanted addictions and behaviours otherwise he would have had it very difficult for him to reach Turquoise How to transcend Turquoise? You don't have to transcend Turquoise. You reached the summit of the spiral! Your focus should be on how to embody Turquoise as deeply as possible! Once at Turquoise you should really focus on exploring non-duality to its fullest How to embody Turquoise? Make sure you have a hardcore, industrial-grade spiritual practice going whether that's meditation, yoga, self-inquiry, contemplation or whatever else Contemplate everything! Don't just contemplate things like What am I? or Who I am? Or what reality is? Contemplate the little things like what is language ? What are relationships ? What is sexuality? What is politics? What is government ? Contemplate all the things! Embody unconditional love Long solo retreats Spiritual purification work of various kinds Shadow work Do psychedelics especially 5 MEO DMT Join or start some kind of spiritual community Read Turquoise books Meet Turquoise sages face to face Study many religions. Make sure your mystical practices aren't coming from just one school or tradition Study cutting edge science Study non-dual theory deeply Open your chakras Transmute your sexual energy Learn alternative healing techniques To really master Turquoise make sure you go back and master all the lower stages. Go all the way back to Purple and ask yourself, what am I missing from Purple or from Red or from Blue or from Orange or from Green or Yellow, what aspect of Blue am I missing or that I haven't fully embodied? Master all the lower stages. There is a lot of depth at every stage Keep watching Actualized.org

Best of luck! Wish you peace and serenity!

Hell yea! Nice work! As a little joke, I was expecting Calin Georgescu to be a co writer of your book He also talks non stop about mysticism and God! And that God is love and so on! As I watched tiktok in november last year I had the impression that he borrowed ideas from Actualized.org in his discourse

Still no one has pinned these blueprints!

If you are feeling less motivated it is a good thing! That is the first symptom of stage Green! Green gives you for the first time a sense of peace and relaxation. Enjoy it! But make sure that after your well deserved break to take Green to its next step which is actively being involved to improve society in your own unique way!

Nice!

@Breakingthewall Thanks a lot for your response! I will keep this advice in mind!

@Leo Gura But why the world has such a strong negative response to Green? It is like badly needing a surgical procedure, and instead of having it, you try to kill your doctor! What has Musk or Trump and all their rich friends to gain from crushing Green? Don't they realize that once they contaminate with their capitalism all the drinking water sources, they won't be able to drink money? I mean how much luxury, how many Yachts does an ego need to feel satisfied? At one point in their life don't they think of helping the poor or caring for their environment? How much Orange do you need to manifest until you exhaust it and start to see its limiations and start to go into Green?

Thanks for the advice! Sorry for the inconvenience of deviating from the original subject of the post! But I thought that my concern about not being able to convince right wingers to embrace a more centrist approach fits well with RFK. If my assumption was incorrect, I apologise!

@Nemra I decided that I'm not gonna move from my birth place because literally as we speak the whole world regresses! If I were to move to the USA I'd be basically in the same positition as I am now, the development of the masses is basically the same! Western Europe is soon going to fall too, so the best strategy is to do what you can , with what you have! I would never be a loner if I had conscious people in my community! But since everyone is going into the madness of crowds, the best strategy for me is to be as disconnected from the crowd as possible!

@Nemra one mention! I follow actualized.org since 2014. I remember when I started watching Leo, he barely had 90k subscribers

My biggest fear is that Romania will turn out to be exactly like Russia! Russians don't have access to internet! To youtube... I am watching actualized.org videos from the past like It would be for the last time! I fear that once I lose access to Actualized.org and all the liberal media ecosystem I will become a corrupt backward evil right winger! I don't want to leave the country either because I love the nature and the earth here a lot! What I hate is the people here who are so damn backwards that make me feel like I am the insane one for being different

I feel hopeless! I just can't convince any of my acquaintances to not vote for a Maga like candidate! We have elections soon in Romania and everyone is going to vote for a Trump copy! I feel at a loss for arguments, they are bringing their rw ideology forward and I just can't find my words to combat it! I start to feel like I am the deluded one for wanting a centrist stage green/Yellow liberal to win! Please someone help me clear my thoughts!

@Leo Gura would you like to pin this post? I have done the blueprint for turquoise and in the first respone I have linked to the blueprints of all the other stages!

@Twentyfirst 10 milion people to have more political power than 90 milion? Bro do you even think before writting? What if the 10 milion selfish people decide to monopoize all the resources only for themselves? What you are describing is Oligarchy! May aswell expropriate the 90 milion people out of their properties and give it to the 10 milion who have kids. I just hope the people like you are the minority and not a majority of people have so much corruption going on in their thinking. The future belongs to everyone! Not only to the wealthy who can afford to have 10 kids. I'm sorry but the main reason one would choose not to have kids is because of how hard and expensive is to raise a child. If more so those people should receive more support from the government, by having better wages so that they could finally be able to have a child and having enough money to raise him properly!

@BlueOak Thank you for your response! Made me feel at peace! Thank you!

The government should give financial aid to big families not increased political influence. Bro , you could even be Genghis Khan! I don't care! Your vote should be as powerful as mine! If you don't like it, wait until your kids reach voting age, then sure, your family because more numerous will have more votes!

@OmniNaut Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your post!

@BlueOak I am extremely respectful of the law. But in all honesty, I have to confess I am very animal like. I look with hostility at bystanders that pass by my house, I always have the feeling that someone wants to trespass my property and try to steal from my house. Evertime my dogs start barking I'm in full atack mode and I open the door to see who is passing by! I have knifes and baseball bats hidden across all my household! I have a hammer under my bed! I am very animalistic in that sense. The more time passes I start to wonder if I'm actually insane or mentally deranged!

That is happening in the present day too. Only with an 18 year delay. If someone has 12 kids, today his vote is 1 vote, but after 18 years has passed, his family has 14 votes, he, his wife and the children.

@Twentyfirst I believe the current system is the fairest — as long as it remains uncorrupted. One person, one vote. Why should someone with 8 children have more voting power than someone with 3 children? Or someone with none? If my boss has 8 kids and I don’t have any yet, why should he get more political influence than me? Maybe I’d like to have children too, but I can’t afford it partly because he refuses to raise my salary, and the politicians he supports allow him to keep underpaying me year after year. Maybe that’s why I don’t have kids yet.

I disagree! Beige doesn't mean an literal ape. This is what AI has to say about beige: Group vs. Individual: Purple is tribal, focused on group survival and identity; Beige is individualistic, focused solely on personal survival with no group concept. Culture and Spirituality: Purple has a rich culture—rituals, myths, animistic spirituality, traditions; Beige has no culture, no spirituality, just raw instinct. When I read these two lines it was the perfect description of me

I recently discovered about stage Beige. I am a complete loner. I go to work, I only talk when necessary with my co workers, like work related stuff. But I never wanted to develop any friendly connection with them. Also I cut out all my friends, for like 2 years now. I only talk to people when there is a problem that needs solving usually work related. But other than that, I even cut all connections with my parents, the only persons I have a warm relationship with is my girlfriend and my grandma who raised me since I was 1 years old. The thing is I realized that I actually don't belong in any group, I have no spiritual beliefs, I don't practice any religion, I follow no traditions. Which made me realize how low on the spiral have I fallen. I think I'm maybe beige! I have only 2 people I want to relate to! I thought I'm in red but I don't wanna deal with people at all. My biggest happiness comes when I'm all alone. I'd be the happiest if I were the only person left on earth. That is how my psyche works. I write all of this in order for you guys who have more in depth knowledge about stage Beige, if I am really beige because I totally disconnected myself from society. I did that voluntarily , I am happy the way I am, I was just curious if I am really in stage Beige!

Hope a moderator pins them. It was a lot of work to do these blueprints manually

I'm not going to do beige and purple because I don't think anyone would benefit from them also I can't do beige because Leo hasn't done a video on it.
