Cardozzo: "I don't need no game cause I'll sleep with anything."

Exactly. People are not chasing to sit at Leonard De Caprio's table to bang his girls. This is an absurdly unspiritual ambition for a Christian to promote.

I always put consciousness over money. I lost millions for that.

Lots of things are possible. But only one thing gets actualized. I don't sit around crying over what was possible. The past is exactly one way, how it had to be.

I am not trying to scare anyone away. However, I have done this work for so long and it has become so deep now that I cannot be constantly catering to skittish newbies. I speak what is true without triangulating about who it will offend. I can't be bogged down by those concerns anymore. If people are scared then they are not mature enough to learn what I have to teach anyway. I can't sugarcoat this work for people. How many people do you think I lost by speaking about God so much? A lot. But I can't be catering my work to people like that. I said True Religion for my hardcore listeners who can appreciate what that means. Newbies will not understand. This doesn't mean I'm starting some ideology.

Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Orange thinking. This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Orange. 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 Orange 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 Orange. 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.

I do own my decisions. I would not change what I did. It was all necessary. It was never about money. It is my responsiblity to access the deepest consciousness possible. In 13 years I took a channel about simple self-help to a channel that teaches the deepest insights in existence. And I did this while being in the public spotlight and many people gaslighting me, constantly telling me misinformation and to stop. This is what it took to do that and I don't regret it.

@integral Remind me to buy you a gasmask for Xmas.

@PenguinPablo Most humans are not megalomaniacs chasing power, status, and fame. This is a pretty rare driver in humans. Owen is a maniac in this regard. He is not normal. In a bad way. In a way that he will never be at peace. His appetite is insatiable. Such people cannot be in stable relationships. Relationship requires settling and being satisfied with what you got. It's the paradox of choice. Pickup gives so much choice that you end up more miserable than if you just settled down with a 6. It's ironic that as a Christian, Owen does not recognize that lust, greed, and vanity are sins. Owen addicted to the thrill of the chase.

At some point. But it's challenging to talk about and people just end up making fun of me for being that open. It is used against me by trolls. People would be horrified if they understood the reality of this work. I have learned to share less intimate details because it will be misunderstood and used to villify me.

That's a regular week. Haha Not if you do it while running a business about it for 13 years straight. Try running a business while you take 5-MeO-DMT 90 days in a row. See how that works out for ya.

I mean the emotional and mental toll it takes to integrate such a depth of understanding. You think someone comes to understand what I understand just cool-ly and gracefully?

You guys still don't understand what I became conscious of and what it took to do that. There is a cost.

That's the journey to understand what I understood.

Chasing 9s and 10s is a big mistake if you want kids and relationships. That's half of Owen's problem right there.

Most people don't. You think the guy working at Walmart seeks status?

That's all good stuff. They forgot rats and kangaroos.

Nope. I've had several girlfriends like that. Simple good girls. No status-seeking BS. No partying. Just decent people. The problem is Owen is chasing Instagram models and young club sluts. Yeah, they are shallow and corrupt. Not real people. When you chase models, that is a status game. Those are not real relationships.

I don't even see pickup as the problem here. The real problem is chasing for status and luxury. That kind of lifestyle, those kinds of people are inherently corrupt. You could do pickup in a non-status-seeking way. Dating a girl who cares about status and luxury is cancer. You want a simple girl who isn't partying with celebrities on a yacht. Those status seeking girls are just a nightmare.

The solution is to not care what anyone thinks of you. Respect yourself and that is all you need.

I don't even know I have a Wikipedia page. I do not want to read that shit.

We will allow it, since it is humor.

It's amazing how Christians cherrypick the Bible. They quote the stuff that serves them and conviently ignore the part about not chasing money, power, and status. Looking at you, Jordan Peterson.
