They are not stage Green, as I have said. In my imagination, I can be stage turquoise. I am not really interested in debating. I do love talking with those who are actually Green from various communities and events like Mindvalley groups, Awesomeness Fest, etc.

The Three Seashells.

A lot of the time they are not really at that stage of development and that is why it is nearly impossible to discuss with them. Orange is not fully integrated leading to wrong Green ideas. (like hippies thinking no more new technology is needed for eg. or they are anti corporations/wealth instead of standing for reform and taxation or it could be talk about flattening the hierarchies without truly understanding its survival function right now and in decades ahead) College Green is not Real green in most cases as let alone Orange, even Blue is not properly integrated. It is generally difficult to discuss with people in such a position as they will probably only learn from experience through time.

@bejapuskas Thanks for sharing.

@bejapuskas What according to you is toxic Green? Would love to understand. Not looking for stupid debates.

https://archive.org/details/1922AtkinsonBealsCharacterPower11/mode/2up Various patterns can be observed in the evolution of species, ideas, subjects, technology, literature, and science about how the complexity of systems (including biological systems) is increased while balancing many apparently paradoxical elements, even some of the most extremes like wealth/power/fame and enlightenment for e.g., and how the complexity of the various systems cannot be just given up due to their survival value. As well as the maximization of the core values and purposes by using such complexity as leverage by a proper understanding even when this increase in complexity looks like it is against the core values and purposes when actually it is the opposite. In fact, evolution can perhaps be summed up as an increase in complexity and the number of extremes while balancing the various apparent extremes perfectly. This resource creates such an understanding in the day-to-day lifestyle with a relative sense of ease creating significantly more success, meaning, and fulfillment in various aspects of career, purpose, passions, finances, social life, relationships, etc. Allowing a smooth transition to the 2nd tier, while making it more practical and fulfilling to derive the major benefits of that stage, as relevant to your own life, goals, and value system. It does require a little bit of effort in contemplation to get the meta-messaging. But it is worth the time.

@Leo Gura Any hints or examples for this? Couldn't yet find enough data points about it to make very good distinctions.

@Leo Gura Sometimes I feel as if instead of a mere understanding that a desire does not fully satisfy one, consciously feeling it allows one to feel the lack of full satisfaction, along with a certain degree of satisfaction. But both combine together to form something higher than the sum of their parts and instead lead to a keen and subtle sense of satisfaction with that desire or experience. And this satisfaction is much higher or deeper than the direct satisfaction a particular desire gives. Is this understanding correct?

There is nothing innocent about it. It is merely a stage Blue cultural programming. Since you like SD. Women have this tendency naturally to an extent, but that is very greatly amplified in such cultures. The two are not even comparable.

"I think to call suicide a cowardly act is to severely downplay the illness of the one who left this world. Their pain must have been so great, their despair so colossal, their path so dark that the only way out they saw was to end their own life." Hope his family and friends find strength in these dark times.

Sorry about your loss. Hope he finds peace. _/\_

Happy Belated Birthday you bias questioning bot Love ya. (it's a little bit late, I just got back)

@intotheblack If you are inquiring about Maladaptive Daydreaming then I will recommend this video. It explains it relatively well.

@intotheblack There is literally no proper mindfulness band in the market. I looked everywhere and this is the only one I could find with the basic features required for mindfulness training.

@intotheblack It is important to know your exact challenge in the case of ADD and zoning out. It could be that one is recovering from depression, or lack of proper diet, vitamin deficiencies, maladaptive daydreaming, OCD etc. One practical solution that you can implement right now: Get a mindfulness band such as this. Every time it vibrates just do a simple mindfulness exercise of becoming present of your body, sensations in feet, sounds, breath, surroundings, etc. There are elaborate protocols by Shinzen Young and Goenka if you want to master mindfulness but the simple ones should be enough. In the beginning set the band to vibrate just 10 times a day then after a couple of weeks you can move to 15, then 20, and so on... Do this exercise for 8 weeks and record changes in your life on a journal or a sheet of paper from time to time. Such a powerful practice is almost impossible for beginners without the aid of the mindfulness band so it will greatly help you. Do you have maladaptive daydreaming? That seems way more probable than ADD. If you can find this out then overcoming it will be much more easier.

@Leo Gura Agreed. Do you have a percentage in mind?

There will also be a market competition between US and other countries giving the most freedom of business as they are growing. This has happened before in India with liberal Foreign investment policies. This will force the US govt. to not go below a certain level with the freedom they are giving to Big Businesses and Billionaires. Even with the Democrats controlling I don't think that more than 15-20% of elected members will be standing for the more restricting policies derived from Green ideals. So the wave continuation is pretty much guaranteed and the best case will be determined by Law of Evolution and not policymaking or thought experiments. This is just one of the forces.

@Leo Gura There are trends that will crystalize into a new type/wave of Billionaires soon who will bring forth many new perspectives, including increased harmony. Similar to the Entrepreneurship wave that was created by the Internet. This both the high range (50-100 Billion net worth) and also 100-200 new people entering the Billionaires club about the 1-2 Billion range. All with product and service creation primarily. Not Wall Street types. This is expected to continue for the next couple hundred years at least easily with no effective way to change it. What are your thoughts on that? This just from the US perspective. There will be a parallel wave in countries like India, China, etc. as they shift. The vision and decision-making of such industry leaders creating and safeguarding long-term employment for 10s to 100s of millions of people in total.

@Cepzeu Lol. Thank you for your time. Give my gratitude to God.

@Cepzeu God, how many types of enlightenment are there?

Not LP but one contribution that I would like to make in 5-10 yrs is to create a cheaper version of the 10x-100x leverage for meditation. Brainwave training or neurofeedback makes meditation 10 to 100 times more effective. With professional guidance, it can go up to thousands of times more effective. The problem is that currently, the hardware for it is very expensive and too technical to use for most people. (about 3000 USD). I did some brainstorming and think that it could be bought down to about 500 USD.

Thanks for the clarification.
