These are all identical.

Kriya yoga is the way. As far as trying to get happiness through the validation of others, you need to completely disconnect your happiness from others and ground it in the beauty of Consciousness itself. Nothing any human thinks matters. The only thing that matters is Consciousness. Keep contemplating that until it becomes your lived reality. Keep disconnecting your happiness from how others think or see you. Stop caring about wanting them to see you as good. If others see you as good, refuse to get pleasure from that. Train yourself to see that what humans think is existentially irrelevant.

It is a rich notion that encompasses a lot of stuff. It includes Truth itself, but also one's relationship towards it. To be truthful, to care about truth, to live truthfully, to use the mind in truthful ways. The whole point of this work is to develop a profound, sacred relationship to Truth. Because you ARE Truth. You can see that no elite, no politician, no billionaire has this relationship. This relationship is what I teach. I gave up being a billionaire, for Truth.

I have a much deeper notion of truth than an English speaker. Truth is not a matter of English or langauge. Truth is to exist. Things only exist because they are Truth. Nobody understands this except those who are profoundly Awake. But truth also refers to honesty and such. In English truth mostly refers to mental ideas that reflect the physical world.

Dude, many here care. You act like the world revolves around our wishes. We have discussed this issue to death on here.

I plan to read it. Probably worth a read.

I have not read the book. But Truth is Consciousness and it is not mediated by anything. The body is just Consciousness. But in a relative sense the body is important. Truth cannot depend on anything, since it is Infinite. All finite ontologies are wrong. All dependencies are wrong.

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.

Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Turquoise thinking. This is 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 Turquoise 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. 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 Turquoise. 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.

You can be it for a few hours, but you can't sustain that level of consciousness. How? Because it increases consciousness.

@No1Here2c You speak gibberish so there is nothing more to say.

What problem?

I've lived in Vegas for 14 years. Gambled one time. Lost $1.

That's why I say most humans are animals. But if you follow my work then you should aspire to something more.

@Joseph Maynor You invented morality.

It is not hate. It is a grounded understanding of the technology vs hype and pipe dreams.

The first answer now on Google is AI, and people read it and believe it. Zero epistemic process there.

Ahahahahah....

Animals are survival machines. They don't know anything about truth. No other possibility exists for them. But you are not an animal. Yes, all finite beings are limited. A finite being cannot be perfectly God-like. But also that is not needed. The point is that humans can become more God-like through truth-seeking. Some degree of hypocrisy is acceptable in mortals. Truth IS the main issue. You're still not understanding how deep the connection between Truth and Good goes. Contemplate the connection deeper. Good is not a social structure. Good is Truth itself.

There are many kinds of therapists. You can find more conscious and even spiritual therapists and coaches. Just research around more. I do not cover that. You can easily find that on other psychedelic forums. My pleasure. That could certainly work if you do it with serious intention and consistency. Mushrooms are very good for therapeutic work. Just take them in low doses. Much cheaper than therapy.

Of course, humans who know Truth is the rarest thing. That's why they are regarded as saints and mystics. But in practice Awakening is not enough to rid oneself of all corruption. That is a superhuman feat.

Of course. The sage/saint is supposed to be the only one above corruption because he lives a life of truth. Of course even sages are corrupt in practice, just relatively less so. I am still corrupt, but much less so than most people would be in my position.

Pretty much. That explains the current state of mankind. That's the truth.

@Xonas Pitfall You need to contemplate more deeply the relationship between truth and goodness, and falsehood and evil. Contemplate!
