  1. Infinity. Once again, there is nothing which is not you.
  2. @emil1234 That is a mystery for the ages. The original Enlightenment Intensive format created by Charles Berner included the question What is love? Ralston got rid of it, thereby corrupting it. He never got it. And none of Ralston's students know that. They just blindly trust him like mindless monkeys.
  3. I didn't say it was just your mindset. I said the economy is fucking enormous. My point was about the economy. Even a bad economy enables crazy individual wealth. The economy is always in your favor.
  4. MJ fans expect us to give a pass to a 40 year old man sleeping in bed with kids for fun and nothing wrong about that? That is the delusion. It makes no difference if he has sex with them or not, every 40 year old man knows it is wrong to sleep with kids in the same bed. Stop making excuses for this kind of behavior. The fact that MJ doesn't see anything wrong in this shows how crazy he and his fans are. You don't get to sleep with kids "for fun" in the same bed as a 40 year old man. End of story. Makes no difference how good your music is or how messed up your childhood was. You want me to believe MJ wasn't into sex with kids when he was into everything else about kids and had zero adult sexual relationships? What kind of fool do you take me for?
  5. Lol. Infinity is literally Love. He is wrong. It has nothing to do with belief. Of course God is Love. What the fuck else would it be? Anything Ralston disagrees with is a belief to him. Which is quite self-deceived. You are never going to get Ralston to understand Love. So stop trying. This issue is settled. You guys gotta stop emailing him about this. That newsletter has misled so many people at this point.
  6. Because otherwise you'd be batshit crazy. Which some people are.
  7. @No1Here2c Infinite Consciousness needs to imagine a finite human life in order for you to feel like a human inside a world. This involves inventing a stream of very realistic memories of your origin. These memories create the foundation for a sense of human self. Without these memories you literally would not be human. You have to believe your memories are real, otherwise you would no longer be a self. You invented the very notion of "a memory". But what is a memory? How can it even exist? You never questioned this. You just took for granted that memories are a thing.
  8. You are imagining the past right now. There is no past otherwise. Infinity has no past. It has to invent it.
  9. MJ fans are pure zombies. All they care about is loving his music and defending him. It is like a cult. You cannot reason with them. MJ was a disturbed freak. He openly admits to sleeping with children in the same bed. He doesn't even see anything wrong with that. That is how deluded he is.
  10. Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Yellow thinking. This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Yellow. 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 Yellow 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 Yellow. 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. Stage Yellow Values: Nuance & complexity Openmindedness Perspective Novel concepts & POVs Generating fresh insights Understanding Systems thinking Nonlinear dynamics Sustainability, long time frames Going meta Big picture vs technical analysis Holistic analysis Synthesis Connecting the dots Penetrating to the core of an issue Identifying & solving root problems A multi-disciplinary approach Mixing hard & soft sciences Creativity, outside-the-box solutions Ecology Responsible ways of being Studying models Spiral Dynamics Natural hierarchies Education, knowledge, research, reading Reading lots of diverse books Clean content, concentrated information Life-long learning Expertise, competence, experience Context, learning from history Developing skills to become an instrument for the greater whole Independent thinking Neutrality: Being objective/impartial Designing solutions for the entire Spiral Meeting people where they are at Building bridges Social engineering Ecological designs Reducing the suffering of living systems Pulling ideas from many sources Combining different ideas, models, theories Left-brained Vision & purpose, being a visionary Requisite variety, mental flexibility Self-actualization Paradox Uncertainty Responsibility, independence, autonomy Being a lone-wolf Stage Yellow Examples: Abraham Maslow, Eben Pagan, Fritjof Capra, Carl Sagan, quantum mechanics, fathers of quantum mechanics, David Bohm, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrodinger, Arthur Eddington, Richard Feynman, Freeman Dyson, John Archibald Wheeler, Joseph Campbell, Erich Fromm, Clare Graves, Don Beck, Spiral Dynamics, Ilya Prigogine, chaos theory, cybernetics, biomimetics, NLP, Alfred Korzybski, the leading edge of academia, futurists, StarTrek humans & Vulcans, Prime Directive, sustainable living, ecology, eco cities, conflict resolution, Wikipedia, Buckminster Fuller
  11. Without school you would be a chimpanzee throwing your feces at others like yourself.
  12. You are talking nonsense. Kids need school. You have not invented anything better than school.
  13. Principles #0: Be awesome. Make no mistakes.
  14. School is not abuse. But it is conformist. But some degree of conformity cannot be avoided. Kids cannot help going through a conformist stage.
  15. I want someone to make an AI-generated song about slop. Call it The Slop song. It needs to be a deep, soulful song -- similar to Mad World -- about how slop is taking over the world.
  16. Post your best police cam videos here. This YT channel is AMAZING!
  17. That's the only way communism gets enacted. You have a fantasy of communists being these nice people. No. They are assholes just like everyone else. The most bloodthirsty communist ends up killing the rest and leading the country. That's how politics works.
  18. I have not read much fiction.
  19. Yes. But you have to actually become conscious of that. Not just think it. Indeed it is an epic mindfuck.
  20. Yes, it was bad. Not the true Valerian.
  21. That's a short story. Have not read. I do not like the Bladerunner story at all. It's all about visual vibes. Alestair Reynolds writes very good sci fi short stories. I like the Valerian sci fi graphic books a lot. They are charming. 5th Element was based off them. I own the entire series.
  22. Hyperion is an interesting sci-fi novel. Better than Dune I would say.
