J Cole. Makes a stage yellow rap song. Notice the nuance with which he dissects current political issues. Not blaming any particular group or people but always considering a wide range of perspectives and understanding of social and psyco-logical systems. J Cole has always been dipping his toes into stage yellow but this particular song is very clear and great example of systemic thinking and is also a great song.

Haha I've been here... Sounds like a good book title

Is there a source that you got this from? Also, this was posted at 11:11am. ?

Skip to 33:20 for an amazing depiction of how the Alcon Blue Caterpillars trick ant colonies into feeding them for years. Stunning footage! This series "Our Planet" on Netflix is superb!

@Don Wei If you give a genuine compliment, and you aren't complimenting her with the purpose of manipulating her to sleep with you, then you will get a positive response. Women respond to the underlying intention behind every word that you say. This is given away by your sub-comminication such as body language and tone of voice. I give women compliments frequently. And they almost always respond with a laugh and a smile because I'm socially calibrated and cool. The secret is to give the compliment GENUINELY and with a friendly smile. I'm not expecting her to approve of me, I just say what's on my mind. If a man is trying to trade compliments for sexual favours...that's creepy. The same goes for insults. If you're physically attracted to a woman, that's great, but take the attitude that you don't know if you want to sleep with her or not until she proves to you that she is cool/interesting. If she says or does something that you think is weird/lame/awkward...then SAY IT in a fun and playful way. "Wow, you said didn't know how to dance but I didn't know it was THIS bad! ;)" "You really don't know the capital of Canada? Haha wow that's pretty dense *while laughing*" So, basically, when a man gives CONSISTENTLY HONEST feedback about what he thinks about the girl...then his compliments are to be trusted as genuine. Sometimes the best opener is... "Hello! I'll be honest, I walked over to talk to you because I thought you were good looking *said while smiling/laughing + direct eye contact* What's your name?" It's never about WHAT you say and always about HOW you say it.

The guitar solo at the beginning melts my face every single time...listening with headphones or loudspeakers is powerful enough to inspire me to create pure beauty

Reincarnation is a tricky one because we try and understand it using conventional notions of time. What's the difference between a past life and a future life? That being said, what is a current life? Your insight resonates with me... I believe that we choose to incarnate into whatever experience that we want to have...just for the sake of having it...because I love myself (as consciousness itself) so much that I want to experience myself from all different angles and flavors. I guess you could say that it's about enjoying the full juice of the journey, and trusting that the destination, is always moving towards more consciousness/love. Peace brother. Thanks for sharing ❤

^ this In numerology, 3 represents the holy trinity and union of body, mind, and soul. Lol its 11:11pm as I type this... It means whatever u want it to mean, bello. You are consciousness...that's about it.

Seems a lot more difficult and laborious than just tripping alone... you are the Guru.

Seeing people challenge spiral dynamjcs is almost always hilarious. Rarely do you see people, who fully understand the model, making these types of ignorant criticisms.

I'm a self-proclaimed master conversation holder. Tips from the master: - talk about your surroundings, say the first thing that pops into your mind about any object in your environment - talk about things you LOVE - talk about things you HATE - make assumptions about the other person "You seem smart! Are you a student?" - compliment people's clothes if you like them - just literally vomit whatever is on your mind...this might take practice - SMILE AND MAKE EYE CONTACT - just express your authentic opinions about anything and everything. HAVE OPINIONS.

Inspiring! I'm so passionate about education! I love seeing this stuff! If y'all have any other clips or resources about conscious education systems then please post here!

If I look back at my high-school experience. The best skills I learned were wrestling, rugby, fitness/working out, how to write a good essay and how to structure my ideas, and how to socialize and make friends (and also how to roll a joint ) Plus, I learned a fair amount about world war 1 and 2 and a bit about chemistry and biology. That being said, I took all of the hardest AP classes. Just goes to show that some of the best lessons you can learn in school have nothing to do with learning specific ideas and have more to do with learning skills.

It appears here that they are MUCH more selective with who they allow to become teachers. Contrast this to Canada where any schmuck who goes through teachers college (a 2 year program where u learn basically nothing) can teach. This is a big deal. Education should be centered around the students and the teachers ability to teach. But, he also makes a great point that teaching is a systemic issue. Good systemic analysis about teaching as a profession in general.

They got a playstation in the beanbag room!!! @Hansu this might be one of those experimental schools.

Agreed. My girlfriend would use her 'intution' to justify her beliefs. Y'know what's even better than intuition? Complex understanding of meta-topics like politics, epistemology, self-bias, cult psychology, awakening, corruption, and especially spiral dynamics. Then, you can use intuition. These conspiracy theorists are quick to point out that trump is saving the world from elite corruption while conveniently failing to mention Bernie Sanders basically ever. This is a clear-as-day indicator that these ideologically charged, Tier 1 thinkers have no clue what they're talking about.

@No Self great! My experience: My girlfriend had fallen into the QANON conspiracy theory hole because some friends of her were EXTREMELY deep into it. I spent hours arguing and debating her about it and she would always get defensive, project onto me, and tell me to "do the research." So, being a good researcher, I spent about a week exploring this conspiracy theory that basically believes that Trump is a 'secret genius' and that he is destined to expose the elite pedophile ring (which might actually be true). So I did some reading and researching for myself and always realized that every single source of conspiracy theory content was politically biased, mostly coming from a blue/ORANGE paradigm, and completely and utterly lacked any sort of structural thinking. Ultimately, I sent my girlfriend Leo's video "How Ideology Works," she watched the entire thing and had a big awakening and began transcending GREEN into YELLOW. From there, she basically let go of her beliefs and now looks back at how silly she was for defending that ideology. Coming from someone who studied some of this ideology pretty well for a couple weeks (as a case study into cult psychology), these people are ALWAYS 1st tier thinkers, completely lack self-reflection, and are quick to believe info that supports their pet-theory while always discrediting info that proves it wrong. This is rabbit hole is a bigger issue than you might think. People who fall into it are RADICALLY adamant that their beliefs are correct and often get defensive when they are questioned...always accusing the questioner of being an ignorant follower of the "fake news." It's very very difficult to pull someone out of this conspiracy theory hole...especially because the confirmation bias is so strong. In fact, it has even gotten to the point where these conspiracy theories are now mixed with nuggets of truth (such as spirituality and awakening), which makes them even more believable. All in all, wouldn't it be funny if much of what these conspiracy theorists are talking about turns out to be true? Who knows... seems unlikely that trump is a secret genius though XD! @Leo Gura I understand the apprehension for allowing the discussion of this topic, as it is often ideologically charged and can be a breeding ground for misinformation. However, this is a serious epistemological problem in our society and many people (myself included) suffer from having loved ones fall into the rabbit hole. Also, the individuals in this particular thread are discussing the issue in a very level-headed and open-minded way. I'm glad that this is being discussed. Imagine if a close friend or relative all of a sudden became super adamant that Trump is the secret savior of the planet? Many people deal with loved ones who are affected by this mind-virus sickness...

Questions to ask yourself: - what skills do I need to know? - what books do I need to read? - what courses/seminars/retreats do I need to attend/purchase? - what habits need to be implemented into my life? - what kind of person do I need to become? Visualize what you want, make it concrete, and then reverse-engineer your vision by asking these questions. Leo's LP course is a good place to start.

Said in response to @Max_V's question: "@Leo Gura Do you think there is overlap in the chakra system and SD? For example, Stage Yellow spirituality would be more manifested and centered in the third-eye, and Stage Turquoise spirituality moves towards crown, etc. " Wilber loosely equates the chakra/rungs with stages of development in The Religion of Tomorrow... He equates: Beige: Root/Sensorimotor Purple: Sacral/Belongingness/Safety Red: Solar Plexus/Guts/Directed Movement Blue: Heart/Family + Inclusivity/Higher Purpose (although clearly limited...I'm not sure about this one) Orange/Green: Throat/ Self-Expression + Activism Yellow/Turquoise: Third Eye/Vision-Logic Turquoise + Beyond: Crown/Mystical Union Although I see that there is not a DIRECT correlation between these systems, there is a rough correlation of traits that are expressed during the movement from lower to higher consciousness. We should be careful when trying to integrate these models together and remember that they are loosely related, but not directly. The same is true with Maslow's hierarchy...

One of my favourite Disney movies of all time. Very touching, great soundtrack by Phil Collins too. It takes place in native tribal Canada. Solid purple movie and also one of Disney's best and most underrated movies.

Astrology has its roots in purple, but it can also integrate insights from orange, green, and even yellow/turquoise. I wouldn't label modern astrology as being solely purple. It's very mixed. I imagine the same is true for ayurveda, but I'm not as familiar with it as I am with astrology.

Good share!

Awesome idea! It's extremely ambitious though. Most games focus on one small area of the spiral, how do you plan on making a game that integrates everything together? Perhaps an RPG style where the controlled character has to spec points into skill-trees that represent each spiral stage. The skills would help him overcome the survival conditions of the game... Again, great idea, but seems extremely ambitious.
