I am deep into work on a new course which will be out in 2-3 months. Topic of the course is: How To Program Your Subconscious Mind. It is very focused on practical exercises and not so much theory. I'm excited about finally releasing it so I wanted to build up a bit of hype around it. It will be a very powerful tool for you guys in your application of all the self-help theory and for creating success in all domains of life.

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.

Truthberry

That's called a druggie.

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

Discuss: This guy says there's a UFO housed in Las Vegas!!

Don't you mean Neolingus?

Weinsteinry: whining about current affairs online in a self-important, obnoxiously over-intellectual manner while being calm and polite but actually resentful and passive aggressive

Where was my Asian in school when I needed him?

Roger Love has some good vocal training courses.

He died?? How?

Of course it's You. It's All You.

It's more of a money, fame, and skills -ocracy. You don't need to be good-looking to create massive success for yourself. Don't envy people who coast off their good looks. That's like envying trust fund babies. Look at Owen Cook. He's not good-looking and look at all the success he created for himself. If you focus on why you can't, you will never succeed.

Hard to say. It's like smartphones. They are so useful but also ruin your mind. Tasting the Devil's honey.

Salvia has joined the chat.

Memes celebrating psychedelics. Post 'em if you got 'em.

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." -- Sinclair Lewis

I am not talking about any particular substance. I am talking about Consciousness in general. Substance is irrelevant. It is true under all substances and no substances.

Then you're describing a positive mushroom trip

@Judy2 Sure, loss of self/awakening can also come with psychotic or schizophrenic elements. There is an endless variety of trans-human, no-self states of consciousness. Loss of self is not some unique state. It's an entire domain of states. In fact, the self state is a tiny island amidst an Ocean of Selflessness. You're basically describing a bad mushroom trip.

Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Blue thinking. This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Blue. 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 Blue thinking. Try to find videos which are short and sweet. Conservative talk show hosts offer tons of Blue material, but also try to find other unique examples. 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 for now, let's just focus on Blue. 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.

This isn't hypothetical. Mystics and spiritually talented people like Teal Swan have naturally looser default states of consciousness. That's why they become mystics. It comes naturally to them. Yet they are not schizophrenic. So there are dysfunctional and functional versions of porosity of the boundary. The Muhammad of the Koran is one example of such a person, if the stories are to be trusted.

I'm trying to showcase some of the artistry of Consciousness.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. But also, I think some forms of it are more curable than others. They are not all equal. The boundary can have various degrees and kinds of porosity, and for various reasons. The majority of schizophrenia is not going to cure easily. It's a pretty serious condition. But, of course, it's worth a try.

I didn't say that. Delta 9 THC is the most obvious thing to try. You are not going to isolate them. That's very complicated.
