This thread is obviously not going to end well. This was obvious from the day one, even to most establishment Republicans. Trump's entire life/career is a house of cards held together with lies. From his fake hair to his fake bone spurs to his fake news to his fake university to his fake charity to his fake wife. Everything in Trump world is a cheap fake. That is Trump entire MO. Fake, fake, fake your way to the bank. It works great until you get your hand caught in the cookie jar. The problem with con-artists is that they never know when to quit while they're ahead.

Please don't speculate about me as if you know me. You have no idea who I really am, creating rumors. If you're going to practice stuff like astrology or mind reading, have a code of ethics, so you don't turn into a gossip.

@dorg TeamBills is not talking about physical pain, but the pain of boredom. @TeamBills Of course its boring, that's the ego dying and wanting to escape its death. Try doing a week-long retreat and going deep into the boredom. That's where the real gainz are at.

Enough fappery. Back to the contemplation salt mines!

Why would you assume they have one? @ExodiaGearCEO Take LP Course

The Trump administration is about to implode.

Drama, drama, drama. Just a ploy of the ego-mind. You haven't actually realized anything yet. You're just acting up. Tomorrow you will go back to trying to rationalize reality. The ego-mind loves to play possum.

Contemplate!

I see you guys are not actually contemplating what ideology is. Ideology is NOT the entire domain of thought! One can think and conceptualize without being ideological about it. Be careful with lumping all thought and speech into ideology, as if there is only nonduality or ideology.

@Widdle Puppy Rogers sounds like a mix of Blue/Green, not Turquoise. He just represents the healthiest aspects of Blue/Green. Don't forget that Blue & Green can be very healthy. They don't have to be raving lunatics. What Rogers is speaking against in that video is Orange vulgarity. Orange is all for showing tits and violence on TV for the sake of profits. Which Rogers would have a serious problem with because of his Blue values of propriety and decorum. Just his manner of speaking is Blue Blue Blue. Formal and proper. "Protect our innocent children" is a common trope for Blue and Green stages.

Donald Trump is a Spiral Idiot who will soon be in very deep shit as his family starts getting arrested for all their white collar crime.

@Stoica Doru Semantic pettiness. You assume that to be enlightened is something the ego-self acquires. Which is of course a false assumption. Just stop assuming that. You were told from the very beginning that you are an illusion. I don't understand people who learn this and then start to exclaim that you cannot be enlightened. To say that you became enlightened never meant that ego acquired enlightenment. It always meant that ego dissolved and empitness dawned. That is what becoming enlightened means. Why quibble over something so obvious?

@Edvard What on Earth do medals have to do with health? Those skiers likely shot full of steroids and all sorts of chemicals. Pretty much all Olympic athletes use chemicals and game anti-doping tests. No Olympic performance is to be trusted as natural or healthy. I would actually prefer to eat pure sugar over wheat.

@Cody_Atzori Read some nutrition books. Wheat is just empty calories. Why do you think everyone eats it? It's cheap empty calories. That is all. It has no nutritional value. You might as well just eat spoonfuls of white sugar. At least the sugar won't cause autoimmune reactions. This isn't rocket science. Just basic common sense. You are fed wheat for the same reason cows and chickens are feed grain. It's the cheapest fuel there is. Peasants, soldiers, slaves, prisoners, and animals are fed bread. That's what makes society run. Not oil, grain.

That's the problem right there. Your business has no actual meaning for you, despite outward appearances. Business must be designed to serve some higher purpose than money. You don't actually have a life purpose yet. Making money is not a life purpose.

@Vladimir Great work! But there's more. Much more... Keep trippin', keep contemplatin' Why is there something rather than nothing?

@mkrksms It probably just failed to post. This happens sometimes due to server lag or if you have a lapse in your internet connection. We rarely just delete posts unless they are pure spam. Usually a Mod would issue warning points if your post violated some of Forum Guidelines. In which case you would have received a warning message explaining your violation.

Seems to me like you're thinking about this too narrowly, too externally. In the case of boxing your goal is not really to beat some opponent, your ultimate goal is to become a good boxer (let us say). In which case, you start to strategize on that goal. How do you concentrate your limited time, energy, and resources to make yourself a good boxer over the next year? Perhaps you identify that your greatest undeveloped asset is stamina. You sense that you could outlast other boxers in the ring. But you'd need to train up your stamina to do it. And so that's where you decide to focus your energy. So you do lots of cardio training, etc. Alternatively, you could determine that the best strategy would be to hire an exceptional boxing coach. So you spend your energy and resources looking for the best coach you can find, in the hope that he will give you that extra edge that you need to win. When it comes to competition, you need to find some unique thing that will set you apart from everyone else. Maybe that means you train twice as long each day, or you develop amazing legwork, or you find an exceptional rare coach, or you do lots of visualization, or you learn to meditate in the ring, or you study lots of boxing videos to learn new moves, or you do yoga to raise your baseline level of consciousness, etc.

Lol This is true of all categories and all human thought. Ironically, you are stereotyping Spiral Dynamics. Your critique is self-defeating. It would be wise for you to contemplate what a category is. You're still not fully grasping it.

@Space Find an experienced wing in your city who you can roll with. Ask him to show you the ropes. London is like the most the over-populated city of PUAs and you are complaining about limited options?

The principles of successful dating are timeless. They do not change. The larger question is, why are you dating at all? For what purpose? That's where things can start to change. If all you care about is hooking up, the methods for that are well-documented across the internet.

What is the point of your business? Why does it exist?

You can make a copy-cat business but it's a bad strategy. It will be hard to market and eventually you will go out of business unless you bring something new to the table. A Seth Godin says, you must create a Purple Cow. The bigger picture of business that people fail to see is that marketplaces are constantly evolving and self-optimizing. If you offer something of genuine value, then you will be optimized out of the marketplace by evolutionary forces. You cannot go copy Bill Gates or Elon Musk. You must bring something new to the table. Practically what this means is, you cannot create a good business using a cookie-cutter business-in-a-box plan. This is why get-rich-quick-schemes and multi-level-marketing schemes fail. What you cannot do is follow a 1-2-3 step formula for creating wealth, because if you could, everyone could do it, but that cannot happen by definition because wealth depends on a disparity between you and other people in society. So you must offer more genuine value than other people offer. You must differentiate yourself from the poor and maintain that differentiation. I say this specifically because there are a lot of tempting business-in-a-box plans out there. But the ones who get rich off those are the ones selling the plans, not the ones buying the plans. No one can sell you a plan for how to create something like Actualized.org, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Uber, Ebay, Tesla, Amazon, SpaceX, etc. Because the plan itself is the whole value of the company. And the plan is always time-sensitive. You cannot create another Amazon today. That ship has sailed. The more original your plan, the more money you stand to make, the greater your competitive advantage. Of course you can still study all these great companies and learn lessons and gain inspiration for building your own.

@Jcent Not daily

Yeah... I thought that way too. I still basically feel that way. But life also forced me to learn what is necessary for survival. Business is a survival activity. It's the modern-day equivalent of hunting in the forest for squirrels. Squirrels are smart and you have to learn how to outsmart them or you will go hungry. Just don't go using your skills towards devilish ends. Do it in service of your art, in service of raising consciousness.
