Hey ya, you may know the Boomer, Millenial, Zoomer, Doomer and what not else Memes. If not search on them on knowyourmeme.com, in my Opinion they are relevant. They all boil down to this. The Young Generations (Born until like 1985) feel like previous Generation, most important the Baby Boomers, have destroyed Society/Environment/[BLANK]. Weather this is true I don't want to discuss, but feel free to express how you interpret it. One could say really say, in some sense, that they, the Baby Boomers, choose the lie over truth. But this is not really the special treat of this one Generation. What they did were very important things that changed western Societies for the better. We can't easily imagine how bad it was. The Narrativ I described is quite negative. While is has a kernel of truth it makes younger people feel like they can't make a difference any more, because the older Generation were so bad. But we surely can. I think this, we can't make a difference attitude, is a very bad way to interpret our Present. It's Zeitgeist, maybe a Sign that many Young Adults go through a Sense Crisis. However, here is a cool Documentary that'll highlight what a service the 60s were to us from the perspective if the late 80s.

@Wordless I boy, i really craved for an Answer. That Picture of the Cathedral, not kidding, is beautiful. With such an Atmosphere it would be good to let people in. Now, a Cathedral is not just there. You have to build it, fill it with Art and Meaning. Then you have to maintain it and even renovate it. It's a Ideal. It's Inspiring. It's not purely Reality, but the Manifestation of a Vision. I think in the Middle Ages in Europe the People could physically feel the Inspiration when they entered and it changed them if they where from a little village or so. Nowadays Cathedrals are not that bit, not that special. Maybe it's the Inspiration that Cathedrals once had (or maybe for other than me still have) that would be needed for such a Yellow Forum.

@mandyjw i like that :3

@Wordless Hey Wordless, thanks for you criticism. It is appreciated! That is so. We may have a tendency as humans to tribalism if we are under pressure. This is something very tricky, something that I find in myself often. Well, this is not something to brag or be arrogant about. If you really Yellow, then you are a Elite in a very meritocratic Way. From Consciousness follows some kind of duty. I like the metaphor of a Park Ranger who is the middle man between nature, Native Americans, the Government, the people who visit the Park... and he brings everything into a harmony not by forcing his opinion onto everyone but because he is able to understand them good enough to talk so that they can understand each other - like an Interpreter. I unironically don't understand what that you want to say in THAT context. Yes. It's like an World Class Orchestra, take the Berlin Orchestra as an Example. They don't only take the best musicians but also only that ones that are in harmony with the rest of the orchestra. Everyone has a Veto and I believe if someone says no, that candidate can't be in there. Don't be afraid. There would be enough Chaos left;) This does NOT mean that one should be disrespectful toward those one perceives as from lesser stages. This does NOT mean that one should not talk to them. But if, and only if a given group would like to have a Yellow Discussion Forum, it would be NOT open for everyone. This what I think at at least. Most likely you would need a bailsman to get into it. I think it is crucial to specify a goal. I read the Yellow Archetype as someone who is, beneath other things, Green + the desire to accomplish a higher, rather non-egotistical, goal. This goal here could be simply to have high Quality Discussions. But you need a shared goal, a vision if you will is maybe a better word. I do NOT want a top down Organization, that would be not quite the sense of a gathering of Yellow people if you just say them what they have to think, eh? I'm not that sure that Blue would build that. It's not Blue just because there are rules, a vision and it's closed. It's just that these Discussions need a care and protection like a garden. I lost count on the green Projects I was in that went South because one Individual forced itself into a Dictator Position. I also lost count on the Green Projects that amounted to nothing, because there was NO organization. Well, could be my personal bad Experience - I give you that;) If Yoga Classes would be as disruptive as I think a Yellow Archetype really is you may would have Hooligans of some kind there. But what you said works greatly as long as no one comes there to disrupt it, I just think that a high Quality Forum on the Internet wouldn't be in such a luxurious Position. It's like Stackoverflow: You gotta follow strict rules to post there. This is their way to maintain Quality and usefulness. Exactly! The creation of that faith and trust would be the kernel of that space - and the hardest, most demanding work that would need to go into it. I think of a Variety of Modes. 1. A Gladiator like mode about a Topic between 2 or more Individuals plus Spectators who Comment is, 2. One Person writes an Essay and other People critic and discuss it from several Points of View (or not if it is bad written^^), 3. An Expert, for Example In Football or Psychology or whatever, gets Questions from the People and Answer them, discuss with them..., 4. Roleplay. You have a Domain like 'the State' and everyone in the Groups takes a role like Politics, Administration, Police, Lower Class, Middle Class, Upper Class, Economy, judiciary... and then they discuss for some time .... ...

@andyjohnsonman It would be a big accomblishment to establish such a culture in a sub forum. Yellow exists in the few, there seem to be no Yellow Cities and very few Communities.. It would be a hard work and we had to create new community rules. It could be the case that Yellow Conversation are so deep and dedicated to outcome that few other will enjoy it. But! I forsee some harsh people will come, that should be there if you look at their stage of development, that'll take the lead if there isn't a security system in place. Another Point. I expect that a gathering of state Yellow type Individuals would need a common goal to work together. Something like: Invent a Yellow Communication Praxis to help future Generations to move into that OR Someone brings a big problem in and asks for Yellow counsel. Like a Yellow all topics allowed Stackoverflow.

@lmfao Damn, you nailed it. I'll ponder on that. @andyjohnsonman I thought about a Yellow Subforum. Who could write there? Everyone? What is a 'Yellow' meta Topic? Who is to say?

@remember @Consept I keep asking me that Question: Is it better to expose people to truths than to let them envolve it naturally? It feels like I have the Answers to Questions that aren't even ask at this point by several people in my life. And people don't like to get these truths. But I received 'Breakpoints' from people who showed me how wrong my point was and I digested it (for example about Vegetarianism and how our Food is bad). But this may not the most effective way. I know there is no one for all Solution but I think it's crucial to think about this. As we go on in life we will progress far beyond, so we will be in a prot-leader position because not many see this far. This is how I see it unironically and this isn't coming from Arrogance. One should not think of themself as superior by default but if you more advanced... isn't it harmful to conceal it?

@Consept Exactly, it is difficult for me to maintain my multiperspective View in such a Disput. The Majority won't want to discusswith you for truth, but just to win. As I think about it you could say that one gets corrupted in such a Discussion if one is not observant of that tendency. I would add to that what you said about that 'higher stages are happy to learn and discuss' that stage Green can be very disfunctional. I've seen it, i lived it. If that is the case Greens may not as ignorant as lower stages but it's a waste of time as well... they'll discuss to win as well. I don't know if 'discuss for truth' is a trait that is significantly higher in Yellow and above, but it could be the case. What do you think?

@Consept Just a possible Idea: In Politics there is a trend to follow the lowest common denominator. So if you got a Population like that 0.5% Turqouise 2% Yellow 10% Green 30% Orange 35% Blues the rest is red, purple and beige the Center of that Population would be Orange-Blue, but the lower Stage would set trends in Discussion because of Entitlement that has it's root in ignorance. => As a results of this will higher stages flee from politics politics or commit changes through more indirect ways - just because they are not the majority. It's also quite challenging to discuss with such a person as I can tell from experience. It can be a huge waste of time,c but if someone wants to learn higher stages will happily discuss with that one that is eager to learn. But they tend to not preach like orange-blue-red-purple. Consequently we got lesser stages in the politics Section.

@Serotoninluv Now as I think of it.. you are right. It's sad to me that the politics forum is realtively low.

@Amit Savage! @Chumbimba Well, @hamedsf said it. You gotta be patient. I'm still in no way good enough to guide you, I find that you need to have 10-15 Years of experience to be a good mentor. However, there are some Books I can really recommend: 1. Being Geek: The Software Developer's Career Handbook, 2. The Pragmatic Programmer: Journey to Mastery Ok, here are some instructions to get you really started. Think about something you want to write in Python. Define it clearly. That is your Project. It should be just beyond your capability. Now you set a deadline and you go with it!! After you finish that you do a slighty bigger project. You can do anything in Python but I would recomment that you automate some drudgery work (go to the website https://automatetheboringstuff.com/ for more infos). For example I do accounting with the command line tool hledger, which puts you entries in a plain text file. Now I automate my monthly entries: Income will be devided into 6 or so accounts (savings, accounts for rent and groceries, material stuff, investing...) and I set an entry with the month I'm doing it. When I set all the 'normal' entries like rent or netflix with that month into the textfile. Easy enough, but it'll save me a lot of time in the long run (all while I can learn the Basics of BASH). You may find something that helps you beeing more productive. Greetings

@Chumbimba That's hard. Rant a little if it helps you endure it!;) But at least you know what is wrong from your perspective and where you (roughly) want to be. That's very valuable. With 23 you are still 2 Years younger than I was when I got my shit together at 25 (I'm now 29). There is this Quote from Bojack Horseman: 'It won't get easier, but it'll get better' I feel you, I lived in a very unhealthy shared flat, where I could not be like I wanted to. That can be so destructive. I'm now in my own flat for more than 2 years and it was the best decision ever. It costs like 1/2 extra compared with the price of a shared flat, but the quality of life is so much greater so it's easily worth the money.

@Espaim I wouldn't do it in your Situation. Save the Money and watch the free Content Online. If you are financially stable you can buy the Course. Don't be stupid and rush it just because you 'gotta have it'. BTW i bought the Course. @Loving Radiance Exactly. While this could work in the right Circumstances, and you have to create them, that can be a bad advice for someone you don't know really. I hope you know him good enough from your call. Just Concerns

1. What have you tried? 2. Yup, I feel the same. I felt this even more in the past. I know that I need to become a Leader. I know that I have to have learn my Craft and master it in a incredible fast pace. If you ever feel too old think about what you'll think in 20 Years. Is your current age really that old from that perspective? Or would your 20 Year older self think that this was in hindsight a good time to start? I used that frame to get me started. On the Internet you find Stories from Prodigies that are only 12 Years old and released their first World recognized Album from Covers from 60s Rock Classic. Or whatever Domain - you'll find Teen Prodigies. While this is really incredible the story for everyday Joe seems to be 'Look, you are 20/30/40/50/60/70 Years old and these Teen did better than you, so you are from a different kind - don't even try, stay in your little corner.' Yeah it sounds corny, but you are never too old to start something new. This is really the result of the people around us living mediocre lives, where rarely someone tries something out of the box. Even if someone tries something at the age of 50 it's likely some cliche move.

@Saba Hey Saba, I do not run a blog, so take this as the criticism you wanted. First of all it's already great that you made a Website and wrote 4 Dozens of Articles!! - I believe it is possible to get a financial successful Blog!! People tell all the time things like 'the Golden Age of Blogs is over', but people want new fresh Content => there is opportunity - I feel you blog is very strong influenced by Leo Gura and/or others like him. You need to get more authentic to feel a burning Passion. - You got to ask you this Is you Blog rather Mainstream or Niche ? Right now I feel its to Niche for a Mainstream Audience and to Common for a Niche Audience. If you choose Mainstream you would mainly translate ideas to normal people, which would be also quite a hustle and important. If you choose the Niche Audience you would need to be constantly ahead of the Pack to feed them new Knowledge.

Could be the case for at lot of people, but I'm think we will experience also that more large corporations evolve into nation-like Identities for their Employees like the FANG Corps. Freelancing would be just another way to exploit people because the contract is not your term, but the term of others.

@Chumbimba The Struggle you experience is a normal part of the Growth. You experience Backsliding (Leo made a Video on that, watch it if you don't know it already). Yeah Tech is highly unhealthy but you can accumulate wealth rather easy. By the way I don't know Calculus a bit and found a Job. If even I could do it (it was really highly unlikely) you can do easily. You just have to stay on Track if you want that Don't beat yourself up, you'll be fine if you implement one thing at a time. One step at a time and it's highly likely that in 5 Years you are so advanced like would never even dare to dream.

Yesterday I wrote, today I can acknowledge that, about repressed Energy in my Past. There is still a lot in my daily life. Yesterday / Today / Tomorrow -- all the same: Everyone around me has to repress their Energy to get bread, life a cushy life. I understand that it is sometimes very necessary to get your Energy in check and that's a healthy part of Development of Society. Its a Dialectic. Then there are advocates of the Status Quo. Then there is the Wind change, represented by the People who have repressed Energy. Look at the George Floyd Riots and how they where caused. The Rioters fight for a change, using that which was once repressed Energy. The Police Officer killed that man for nothing, which was also usage of repressed Energy. We see creative Destruction and hopefully the USA learns finally a lessons and reforms it state and people. Repressed Energy - or as you might say repressed Self. Somethings happens, you want to say 'This is stupid' but you think 'Nah, I can't say that because that Person could cause trouble in career' or 'Nah, I shut the fuck up because I don't want to get caught in this shit'. While there is value as this concealing can be part of a greater Strategy, I think that is no way to life your life. That is the Definition of Wage Slave Life: You can't Do, Talk and maybe Think as you wish. You can strive for a better World because you are addicted to the cushy life of the current World. Something like that.

Finally I bought that ominous 'Life Purpose Course'. Last time I wrote in this section in January 2018 (I looked it up). Things done changed me. The Path is a circle where I'm always back where I started - just on a higher level. As I write this I come to the Conclusion that this might be a good sign, an enabling the faculty to look on the same old Events from a new, fresh Perspective. I feel alive. Currently I am 29. I worked through a lot of shit in my life and I feel privileged that I'm at this point - because some of my friends are not. I went to the School of hard knocks, always hacking around, and experienced so much failure that I was forced create a proto-Vision to get through this. It was like 'get through this, away from something'. The Bible (I am not a Christian) says on one Point something like 'The last will be first' and I come to the conclusion that this is at least true for me. I was the last in many regards. Overweight. Lazy. Sarcastic Worldview. Socially Awkward, but perceived as Arrogant - you get the Picture. Now I work towards something Great. If I can do it, many other can do it. I hope this will inspire others!! Another Bible Verse says very vividly what it feels like to grew up (I really not a Christian, lol): ' I walked through the Valley of Shadow and Death'. There was no Hope, just live your life and distract yourself from all the shit. The Adults were soulless wageslaves, although I did not knew the word 'wageslave' I felt how bad of a Situation this was. Work in a meaningless Job for 40 years, do basically nothing really relevant and then retire and die regretting all that shit. I would not ever be this way. The other Children were as clueless as I was. And the young Adults who already worked or studied said 'You are lucky to be in school, that was the best time in my life'. This Phrase make me think real hard, because if this time in School would be the best as it would be... why even life on? Nah. But I even as I was really depressed (I would be really depressed in the years to come) I always sensed that there was something good in Life. If this reads a little bit melancholic it is because it was the feeling of that time. Things done changed me, but some Questions remained the same. How can I live a different live? How can I be successful in my unique Way? How can I change all the bad stuff I experienced above for future Generations? That's it for this time.

This is a very important Question. Here are my Answer that at least worked for me. Firstly you have to check how this drudgery will advance you. If it does, don't fight it. Example Szenario: Lets say the Drudgery is a very, very stupid Assignment in University, something that hurts you almost physically doing it because it's so backwards and a Teacher gets paid a lot money to teach this shit (h makes you angry because it probably make the students more stupid than they were before), but you have to earn that Degree before you can work in your Field AND you have to take that Course. So you bite the Bullet and just do it, because fighting this is just a Distraction. As you can see from my example I've encountered that problem a lot in University, lol. I would discuss how this makes no sense, but in School or a deadend Job it more about you bending to the will of others than about achieving something great (maybe I was too naive^^). Put in your Example and your irrational feelings... CONCLUSION => Bend to the will of others for now, do the Drudgery, but work secretly towards your purpose. Then it depends on how you frame it emotionally to yourself. Put any drudgery in the service of some purpose and it becomes work that brings you to your purpose. That means you create a reminder of your purpose, that makes you feel that you work TOWARDS something. Example Thoughts: 'Ok, fuck it. I do this work to get this money to build my passion. It may take years and I have to run and struggle but some day I can break free if I follow this plan'.

@heisenburger Good! What of it is it?

Hey, I have this problem as well. I choosed the one big thing, that will impact my life the most, and I have 2 side goals that will support my vision and my primary goal. But the ladder 2 are not as much on the focus. The diffculty kicks in if you strieve to stick for it for any significant time AND want to see results. This where I struggle big. Think about what is lucrative and what you enjoy. Also think about basic things like how to pay the bills down the road. Peace

There are no special tips besides what you already wrote: Don't skip exercises, learn systematic and find a good mentor. I know from my own practice that it can be hard to stay on track all the time, but notice it is better to do it 6 days a week than 1 day a month. See: A lot of people try to motivate themselves by setting extreme standards: 'I do this every day for 3 hours straight, no Break! I gonna be the BEST!!!' So they sprint ahead to fall behind quickly because they give no rest to their mind and body - and then they tend to drop out. As a student you have the task to balance between work and rest - but so that you don't kid yourself and be like 'aaah one hour of practice is still ok this week because work was so intense'.

I think lot of people get the teachings 'wrong' like the OP. Nothing is applicable for everyone to the same degree. Many people here seem to dedicate themself to spirituality just to realise that they skipped stages. Sad but true: One has to be extra conscious with the major decisions in ones own life instead of following the leader wherever he says. @stretch cool that you are brave enough to talk about that. I think its a big problem with intermediate Students
