It should be fine for first time users. Our doses will be low. Not Scandinavia. Netherlands. Generally yes, although some parts of the retreat may be under NDA. Not sure yet.

Let's get a thread going that showcases the deep intelligence of survival in nature. This helps people see the intelligence and sneakiness of survival in the human realm. Try to post examples not merely of survival, but the intelligent, deceptive, and sneaky nature of survival.

Because socialism is a system that is supposed to resolve the systemic problems of capitalism with systemic, fundamental solutions that eliminate the evils of market dynamics and private ownership of property. Socialism is not just a nice, soft version of capitalism, it is a fundamentally different system which expunges the systemic aspects of capitalism which create all the so-called evil. If you don't fundamentally do that then you still have capitalism and its core problems but with some bells and whistles like free healthcare. Socialism is a revolutionary scheme. This is crucial to understand. Otherwise you end up calling for socialism without realizing how radical what you're calling for is. People call for socialism but don't understand that it requires overturning the entire economic order. So then shit happens inadvertantly. You need to decide if the radical socialist scheme is really what you want. Or is it a mistake? Socialism means you cannot have stock markets, you cannot have private sale of businesses, you cannot have private ownership of large corporations, socialism means you can't have a 401k plan, you cannot have speculative trading, etc. Do you really want to live in such a world? I'm not telling you what to want, I'm just trying to have you think through the consequences of your ideas.

That's why Trump is bad.

If the first retreat goes well, we'll have more in the future.

Okay, cool. Thanks for responding.

Any can work. Depends on your brain chemistry and genetics.

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.

I don't plan to do that. The course will have its own structure and flow different from the retreat, even though similar topics will be covered.

This is false. Putin annexed Crimea years before. He also passed a law annexing 4 Ukrainian provences of Luhansk, Donetsk, and others in the first week of the invasion. It is obvious he would annex all of Ukraine if only he was allowed to. He told Tucker Carslon that Ukraine was never a real sovereign state. In his mind Ukraine does not exist as anything seperate from Russia. Stop doing Putin's dirty work for him. These are shallow excuses to violate internal borders and annex territory. The correct analogy here is if the US invaded Mexico and declared Cancun the 51st US state.

I will also turn that into an online course which will be much more affordable. But that will take time to create and of course the psychedelics you will have to source for yourself.

I will guide you to deconstructing the most core aspects of your worldview so that you can experience various facets of God directly for yourself. It is not about pushing ideas upon you but helping you deconstruct all human constructs so the chemical is then free to show you the rest. We will deconstruct time, space, substance, external world, other, birth, death, humanity, nonduality, sanity, etc.

Nothing needs opening up. Psychedelics already produce higher consciousness than enlightenment. All consciousness is absolute. All appearance is absolute. You keep misunderstanding what Consciousness is through reductionism. No. Consciousness dreams sentient beings. Your position is so silly that you don't even understand that you are more conscious than a dog. Absolutely. They are totally related.

It is not that I hate the word. The word means no private property. Socialism is a very specific thing. You can't have Wall Street and call it socialism.

4chan is the primoridal ooze from which virtual life monstrosities emerge and crawl out onto land to terrorize and revolt the land-dwellers.

AI stupid, it is not replacing anyone but button-pushers.

She is your mind. Your mind is powerful

I did attend a 2 or 3 day live training. It is certainly more substantial than the online course, but I still prefer actual Kriya yoga. My bias is for hardcore practices. I don't like wasting my time with watered down stuff. If I am going to do yoga I want the full deal, not a half-measure.

No, we can call all those states capitalist, with Sweden and Norway having robust welfare systems. A capitalist state with a welfare system is not socialism. Just be accurate and call for capitalism + robust welfare system, if that's what you want. Do not call that socialism.

It's totally different because the US did not annex Iraq. Putin seeks to annex Ukrainian land and end the existence of Ukraine as a nation. However bad the US is, Bush had no intention of stealing Iraqi land. That's the key difference. Iraq is a sovereign nation. Ukraine will not exist if Putin gets his way. Annexing land violates every international law and principle. If you are annexing another nation's land, that automatically makes you the bad guy. No nation at this point should be annexing anyone else's land. Russia is being held the correct standard all nations today are held to: no annexation.

That is not what she means.

Of course he think Covid was a hoax. Because Covid lockdowns stopped him from gaming. It's just unconscious survival 101 followed by rationalizations. He does whatever suits his survival. Trump suits his survival because Trump is a con-artist and pickup is con-artistry. If sucking goat dick helped Owen improve his game, he would be for it. This isn't complicated.

Consciousness cannot kill itself. Forms within Consciousness can disappear, but Consciousness itself always absolutely remains. If the human form disappears Absolute Consciousness in which that form appeared still remains. There is no such thing as "non-existence". There is only Existence. Existence is always present even if forms are not present. You can't kill Existence.

You won't find such a list unless I make one. You could make one yourself by inspecting your own mind.

Sounds like the kind of thing a guy like him would do
