How to be wise

@omar30 You should study Islam in the 7th century. Back then, being a Muslim and being a jihadi were synonymous. “Fight those who believe not in Allah and the last day” 9:29, “kill the associators wherever you find them,” 9:5. It wasn’t until the Abbasid rule of 750 that Islam became a civilisation.

Those blood-thirsty terrorists really have clean chakras don’t they.

Not necessarily. If we find a piece of document that historians agree comes from the Buddha, and it contains the Buddhist teachings as we know them today, then I’ll believe that he was enlightened. But we have nothing. No documents, no records, no artefacts. Nothing. Evidence is the only way to know what’s real and what’s not. Without evidence you get conspiracy theories and false beliefs.

He was a powerful leader for sure. But obviously not spiritual. I completely disagree with people who say that religions were founded by enlightened beings. There is absolutely no evidence for that. In fact the historical records we do have all contradict this. For example, you see so many spiritual teachers saying that Jesus was an enlightened master. But when you look at the historical evidence we have, they all point to a Jewish apocalyptic preacher, like many others in his day. I also don’t believe that Buddha was enlightened, since there is absolutely no historical evidence of any kind to support that. Historians don’t even know if he existed!

@shahryar As someone who’s studied Muhammad (to an extent), you’re right in that he was your typical stage Red warlord. He definitely wasn’t a spiritual person, he was materialistic. That being said, he also wasn’t your ‘average’ person either. When he started his preaching, he was living in a tiny village in the middle of the desert. 50 years later, his followers had conquered everything between Iran and Morocco. So in that sense he was not your average nomad.

That’s pretty low consciousness in my humble opinion. There is no family. It is just a mental construction. Your life purpose should be more about what you’re doing, and less about who exactly you’re helping.

It just keeps getting better. Q: I really like the song ‘don’t you see’ by sard underground. What are some similar songs. A: "Don't You See" by Sard Underground is a catchy and energetic pop song with elements of dance and electronic music. If you enjoy this song, you may also enjoy listening to other pop, dance, and electronic songs with similar upbeat and energetic vibes. Some similar songs that you may enjoy include: "Levels" by Avicii "Turn Me On" by David Guetta featuring Nicki Minaj "Can't Stop the Feeling!" by Justin Timberlake "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)" by Whitney Houston "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson "Yeah!" by Usher featuring Lil Jon, Ludacris, and Lil Wayne "I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas "Raise Your Glass" by Pink "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz I hope you find some songs that you enjoy! Let me know if you have any other specific preferences or interests, and I can try to recommend more similar songs.

It can also give a detailed summary of any book.

@Majed No. Blue/Orange is conservatism, while Green is liberalism.

@Devin No. People who are filled with unconsciousness and devilry, like Trump supporters, should be avoided like the plague. You and I are trying to grow our consciousness, so even if we’re not perfect, we’re far from toxic.

No, but you have to make sure that toxic people aren’t in your life.

The smartest thing ever. Q: What are the similarities between cook-greuter’s impulsive stage, and spiral dynamics’ stage purple. A: There are a few similarities between Cook-Grueter's impulsive stage and Spiral Dynamics' purple value system. Both stages are characterized by a focus on social connections and a strong sense of belonging to a group. In the impulsive stage, individuals are driven by their desire to belong and to fit in with their peer group. Similarly, in the purple value system, individuals place a high value on tradition and conformity and have a strong sense of loyalty to their group. Both stages are also characterized by a reliance on instinct and emotion rather than reason and logic. In the impulsive stage, individuals may make decisions based on their immediate desires and may struggle with impulse control. Similarly, in the purple value system, individuals may rely on superstitions and rituals to explain and cope with the world around them. It is important to note, however, that Cook-Grueter's ego development model and Spiral Dynamics' theory of human development are different theoretical frameworks and should not be conflated. They have different assumptions, goals, and applications, and should be considered separately

Just wow. I asked chatGPT: Compare stage purple with stage beige of spiral dynamics, and this was the answer: In the theory of spiral dynamics, the purple value system, also known as the "tribalistic" value system, is the first stage of human development. It is characterized by a focus on survival and the maintenance of social cohesion within a small group or community. Individuals at this stage tend to have a strong sense of belonging and loyalty to their group, and may place a high value on tradition and conformity. They may also have a strong belief in the supernatural, and may rely on rituals and superstitions to explain and cope with the world around them. In contrast, the beige value system, also known as the "survivalistic" value system, is the most basic and fundamental level of human development. It is characterized by a focus on survival and the satisfaction of basic physical needs. At this stage, individuals are primarily concerned with obtaining food, shelter, and other resources necessary for survival. They may have a limited understanding of their environment and may rely on instinct and reflexive behaviors to navigate it. While both the purple and beige value systems are concerned with survival, the purple value system represents a more advanced level of development, as it involves the formation of social groups and the development of shared beliefs and values. The beige value system, on the other hand, is focused solely on the satisfaction of basic physical needs and lacks the complex social and cultural elements that are present in the purple value system. It is important to note, however, that the theory of spiral dynamics is a theoretical construct and should not be taken as a definitive description of human development. Its validity and usefulness have been the subject of debate among researchers and practitioners.

@Godhead I hope he honours his word to step down.

Everyone please vote yes! Get this monster out of Twitter! The survival of stage Green is at stake!

They elected Hitler to power.

Most of Germany in ww2 supported Hitler.

That seems to be the case.

Historians are fairly unanimous that Jesus was a Jewish apocalyptic preacher. He believed that God would establish a kingdom in Palestine, and that he would be the new ruler. Jewish apocalyptic thought was not new in Jesus’ time. There were many other preachers who taught the same (of course with themselves as the ruler), including his mentor John the Baptist. It was a classic stage Red/Blue movement.

@Romanov Yes. Religion is by its nature Blue, hence it can’t survive in an Orange+ world.

@Leo Gura Why isn’t Elon taking measures to hide his location, like obscuring his ownership of the jet. He could’ve bought his jet in a trust so that the jet data could remain private.

It’s not Tyler, it’s Preety, @Preety_India

Time flies. It seems to me like yesterday when your name was in green.

That will never happen. Without fear you’d be dead. Even after enlightenment you’ll still have fear, albeit reduced significantly. There is no one but you, hence no one is suffering but yourself. I’m not against serving people, but you should be aware of the truth, which is that no one is suffering. Wrong. Following your heart is the only way to make right choices.
