I am not a lawmaker. That's different from spiritual work.

I will not because my health is not good.

Lol The cockroaches of human beings all support each other It's a cockroach emotional support group, because it's too hard to be a cockroach all alone.

@Rafael Thundercat Yes, bigotry is just unconscious survival. Bigotry is ubiquitous because it is so convenient to demonize whatever you don't understand. If you don't demonize your enemies, then you have to actually do the work to live with them, to understand their humanity, their Divinity. Bigotry is ultimately the denial of universal Divinity. If you acknowledged the Divinity in all, then you could not kill, rape, steal, or enslave them.

Trump. Of course fakeness works to some degree, otherwise it would not be so popular. Notice how fake many popular people are. Why are they fake? Because it works. In a society where nobody values truth, fakeness must flourish.

Post your best police cam videos here. This YT channel is AMAZING!

The biggest mistake naive people make is that they think "follow your passion" means, you don't need to be highly pragmatic too. Following your passion is not a blank check for utopian thinking. Following your passion means being extremely realistic and practical about how to actualize your vision. "Follow your passion" does not mean never think about money. Follow your passion means you strategize about money years in advance so you have enough money to make your passion sustainable.

There are always people who try to fake greatness and skill. And they eventually they fail because the real thing beats the fake thing. Fakeness works to fool stupid people, but fakeness canot fool great people because greatness sees through fakeness.

Following your passion requires a lot strategy and being pragmatic. The problem in art is not oversupply, it is the lack of skill and talent in creating something truly great. If you made a truly great work of art, you could find a way to monetize it and make a career off it. But developing that level of artist skill takes a lot of work.

Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Green thinking. This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Green. It's meant to be an educational tool for people learning about Spiral Dynamics. So towards that end, scour Youtube and find all the videos you can which exhibit stage Green thinking. Try to find videos which are short and sweet. The more diversity we can display here, the better. Try to find examples from various cultures: Europe, Middle East, Asia, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, Africa, South America, etc. We will create a mega-thread like this for every stage in the Spiral, from Red to Turquoise. But here, let's just focus on Green. Each week I will start a new mega-thread topic for the next stage. Do not start a political debate in this thread! It is not our goal here to defend our personal political positions or to judge any stage, but simply to compile examples. Thanks for your help! I'm excited to see what kind of juicy stuff you dig up. Try to be selective with your choices. This can turn into a really cool list.

Let's start a list of the best music for listening to on psychedelics. Obviously taste in music is very subjective, but try to post the best of the best here. This music should work well with psychedelics and tripping. Chill, moody, down-tempo, ambient, techno type stuff. There's lots of obscure psychedelic & chillout music that can be found on SoundCloud.

I'm making this thread to collect every important video or source of information I find about understanding Israel's deceptive behavior. I've found dozens upon dozens of important videos, too many to fit on the blog. So I'm going to keep adding them here. Feel free to add your own. This is not a thread about debating the Israel-Gaza war. I want to build up a playlist of quality videos for people who want a deep understanding of Israel's deceptive behavior -- the underbelly, if you will. This playlist does not focus on understanding Hamas or Arab terrorism or the latest news about the Gaza conflict (since we already have a thread for that). Warning, this list will be pretty negative as it focuses on uncovering deception, propaganda, bias, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and deconstructing illusions. I see a lot of deception and bias about Israel in mainstream western media which I want to dispel. That's what this playlist is about. This is part of my study of self-deception and self-bias. Sorry if this doesn't seem fair, but this is what I needed to study to unravel the deceptions. This is part of my own sense-making journey. Feel free to discuss any of the videos or share your own. Be mindful not to share low quality, hateful, or misleading/untruthful material. The point here is not be deliberately negative but to gain a deeper understanding of the Israel situation. I will delete any low quality material posted here.

Okay, good point.

Red Pill is better than Black Pill.

I mean their teachings, not their crimes.

No way to do I buy that. Kanye's people are bigger ass-lickers than Trump's. The notion that we need a team of people to manage the mental delusions, egotism, and immorality of the President is crazy in itself. The President needs to be a shining example of mental calmness and sanity, without even breaking a sweat. If he struggles with it, he's unsuited for the job.
