You could take experience to be the Actual too. This is why Metaphysics breaks down regarding attempts to capture Being like a butterfly in a net. What is that which takes? Is it not the Mind?

You need a strategy to move yourself up the Emotional Scale -- this is part of what we might call Emotional Mastery Work. Look at where revenge is on the scale. Don't feel bad if you're not good at Emotional Mastery work. We can put together systems and strategies to get much better at this skill than we are. This is mastering the skill of "Forcing Your Mood". Leo talks about this in his Blueprint* (see link below). *Leo's Blueprint https://www.actualized.org/blueprint

How about fragmentation AND no fragmentation? You like paradox? Most people don't yet like paradox. Most people are stuck in the Paradigm of Belief. Paradox keeps the Mind from locking and blocking you within beliefs by keeping your Mind open and in its place. Paradoxes are not beliefs, they're tools to keep the Mind from assuming its beliefs are Being. The Tao that can be Named is Not the Eternal Tao.

Doesn't it make strategic sense for you to worry about removing your own ignorance before trying to remove other people's ignorance? Why impose yourself in that way on other people's lives if you're busily designing and building your own life? This is like not driving your own car well yet worrying about correcting the driving of all the drivers on the road. If you're standing around worrying about what other people are doing, you're not busy enough with your own work.

Wake up from what?

I've grown! I grew myself, see. Very systematically. You can design your own life and be enlightened simultaneously. There's no contradiction there besides what the Mind erroneously throws up like it's a feature of reality rather than just a thought about Being.

When you're pursuing your own life, you don't have time to worry about what other people are doing. Video on point to watch:

When you're pursuing your own life you're not really concerned with what other people are doing.

See, your intention is to make your perspective the perspective. You still need reinforcement that you're right. You can't tolerate tangential ways of being to your own yet. Ask yourself this -- what is that which needs to be right? Is a chipmunk running around thinking every other perspective needs to be like his? And yes, chipmunks have individual perspectives and personalities too. What is that which needs to have everything be like me? I think one of the great places to arrive on the path is appreciation of and toleration for the diversity of enlightened being.

You're at a different part of the Path than I am. We're Mars and Venus to each other. I'm not saying I'm superior to you or you me. We prefer different lenses to look at Being through right now in our respective journeys, that's all. Celebrate diversity!

@possibilities You might think authenticity is the end, but it's really just the beginning. Authenticity is the mere starting place for advanced Personal/ Interpersonal Development work.

I accept the fact that no two people are at the same place in their Path. You might be speaking Chinese and I might be speaking English. You might live in China and I might live in Australia. You might be at Stage X of life and I might be at Stage Y of life. Maybe you're a woman and I'm a man. Maybe your personality type is the opposite of mine. Maybe your most sought-after objectives in life differ from mine. Maybe your grab-bag of useful theory differs from my grab-bag of useful theory. Maybe your life trajectory is tangential to my life trajectory.

@possibilities You know what it's like to improve yourself. You might not yet be fully conscious of this, but in part you are. You can feel the pull of the intuition of your Higher-self.

@possibilities I would say it's both a reconditioning and a deconditioning.

Work it hard for like 4 or 5 years. Live and breathe this stuff for like 4 or 5 years. You have to re-condition yourself basically. Kind of like re-parenting yourself. You become your own parent.

Limiting-beliefs turn up in the darndest places don't they?

There are so many traps on the Path. It's rather impressive actually.

But if you hit Yellow you should know how to model.

@Aakash I’d love to see your model of Teal.

@zeroISinfinity With all due respect, I hope you're right.

That's a limiting-belief. Good for the Mind, not so good for God. Anything you are "getting" is not God. The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao.

I don't mean to chime in here again, and I hope I'm not coming off as rude -- but failing to put the Mind in its place that causes the maze. You don't need to die. You need to realize the difference between the map (Mind) and the territory (Being). What needs to die is you white-knuckle clinging to the Mind's talk as if that talk is the Truth.

Focus on your unlimitedness and put your limitations on the back burner. Err on the side of no limitations.

What tells you you are a human? What tells you you have limitations? Why dwell on either label? Isn't it better to just go out there and do what you want to do with your life? Get after it!

Liberation from the shackles of white-knuckle clinging to Paradigms of Truth and Paradigms of Metaphysics. Putting the Mind in its place. Doing the Mind without letting the Mind do you. Metaphysics goes from being the Truth at Turquoise and Coral to being a set of more or less useful set of tools (paradigms/lenses) at Teal.
