Spiral Dynamics Stage Orange Examples Mega-Thread

I feel like this movie fits right into this thread - "Nightcrawler" (2014) with Jake Gyllenhaal.

The character in the movie is ofc an exaggerated example, otherwise, it won't be as cinematic. Nevertheless, the core of this movie is pure Orange.

Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.

First off, I LOVE what you're doing Leo. Never found a website quite like this and the timing is divine. Grateful you showed up to fill this need Leo Gura!

Second, when giving an example of what people do at home, in several of your videos, you choose to speak about the listener sitting there, jerking off to porn. You could choose from myriad examples of things people do when at home, and considering the scope and mission statement of your life purpose, I'd think you could choose an action of higher consciousness? 

As an attractive woman, I've been subjected to misogyny of several forms since I was a small girl. I don't think I need to state that the whole topic of "pornography" is misogynistic? It paints women in an objective, powerless, and brainless light, with sexual gratification of OTHERS the main deal. As soon as I hear you state "jerking off to porn" again, part of me wants to shut the talks off, but I don't because you've got great content. Yet please...can we choose another example?

Yes, sure, obviously this wouldn't trigger me if I didn't still have some healing work to do...but I'm peaceful pretty much all the time after meditating daily for 30 years and have done a ton of healing. Yet this is an area I still could do some work in (obviously).

I doubt I'm the only woman (or person) who's felt this way when they've heard that.

THX for hearing me out.

I thought it was obvious I say such things tongue-in-cheek.

I deliberately choose ridiculous examples to show humans how ridiculous we are.

Before we can become conscious we must first be honest about how unconscious we are.

What is it that you do at home which is the equivalent of "jerking off to porn"?

The points I make are never limited to any specific example. Think of each example as the tip of a giant iceberg which abstracts out and encompasses millions of specific examples.

When I tell you to go look for a giant space kangaroo I hope you don't actually think I'm asking you to hunt for furry creatures.
