If you self-identify with any upper SD stage, you're CRINGE

[Zenterus]

Spiral Dynamics is a useful model for tracking maturity in human beings, I am not disputing that. It's not a perfect model, as no model ever is, but it is definitely very sophisticated.

However, I see so many people on this forum not only misunderstanding it and taking it as absolute fact, but also falsely assigning certain higher stages to themselves, which is such an egoic thing to do and completely antithetical to being a mature person, honestly.

People out here spouting "I'm a system's thinker, therefore I'm Yellow!" Meanwhile their entire motivation is founded in the thirst for power, sex, influence and other selfish stage orange pursuits. 

Others are yelling out atop rooftops that they're Turquoise or whatever while being so inherently judgemental of everyone around them and at the same time aggrandizing themselves in comparison. 

Even worse, I see so many people labelling others who disagree with them as being in lower stages and needing to ascend, which is so cringey in and of itself.

Know this: If you're out here self identifying yourself as tier 2 and creating an ego around it, you're probably lower on the spiral than you'd want to admit.

Yeah, we need to believe we are lower down than we think we are.  This is so annoying.

@LordFall Lmao, what's your response to this ? 

[Sincerity]

Totally. This forum’s population is predominantly orange. And many of these orange folk deem themselves yellow. Many such cases.

I’d consider myself entering green at best. I think I’m still predominantly orange though.

Don’t interrupt these yellow intellectuals’ and ingenious spiral wizards’ delusions though. We must have some things to giggle at. 😛

If you ever genuinely talk about coral as if you understand it, please, never open your mouth again.

Spiral Dynamics mogging is the best part of being a Teal giga chad

Where the fuck is @Ulax when we need him 🥲

[Schizophonia]

I don't like Spiral Dynamics. People here treat it as if it were handed down by God himself but it's just another model proposed by two psychologists, two egos, that are ideologically biased.

Proud Stage Coral.

People that find it cringe, learn from the insecurity. 

But cringe is fine in and of itself.

Cringe is a valuable protective mechanism of insecurity in so much as we can leverage it.

This is primal conscious learning.

If its not made conscious, its just primal unconscious learning; hint: that's when its not being leveraged well. 

It doesn't feel lonely up here in stage Coral, more distant, but a part of growth is learning how to bridge.

It's easy to feel alien, but that's only unhealthy when purpose has become imbalanced.

These are just correlational points on a graph. 

I just hit zilla-mode consciousness a moment ago, my feet can not only touch the bottom of the deepest ocean on the planet, I can feel myself hovering on black holes. 

That said, this place is still a circular cess-pool; its too easy for people to become sychophantic, which is unhealthy for consciousness development.

But there's nothing I can really do other than observe in horror other than complain here and there when I offshoot.

It really just comes down to self-regulation; that's a massive hinge point, and positively counterbalances any purpose misweighting.

Dude, every comment of yours I've seen is littered with nonsense. You can't even construct a straight forward message that can be logically digested by the people on this forum, yet you somehow think that you are at Coral.

I know you're probably gonna twist that as you being so above it all that your communication no longer resonates with the average person, but I would suggest you settle on that conclusion after you see a psychiatrist first.
