In order for "you" to have the power to defeat a "country" you're creating a duality, so what you're suggesting is fundamentally flawed.

LOL

Depression is sometimes worse at different times of the day. When I experienced depression several years ago it was more pronounced at night time. Try and slowly add things to your routine, like morning exercise, meditation, or cold showers. They will help.

Countries get more complex as they develop, so you would expect bigger governments to manage that. China isn't communist in the way that westerners believe, because few westerners understand China. It's more of a state capitalist system.

No, actually slavery was absolutely correct for that period of time. Remember that period when everyone started tearing down statues? It started in Bristol here in the UK, which is an extremely stage green city. Despite me being a leftie myself, I disagreed with it because you can't judge people by today's moral standards. Just as it would be stupid to judge someone from Zimbabwe for not being vegan. You are missing the complexities of the issues.

@EntheogenTruthSeeker I'm assuming you're American, given your references to Qanon, etc? Firstly, zoom out and realise how easy life is today compared to most of human history. The arc of history is for dramatic improvements over time. Secondly, realise that we've had a period of peace and prosperity from 1945 to now, and we're now entering a period of division, tensions, and revolutions. This is driven by economic cycles, like inequality getting worse, and also a rising power (China) challenging the current global order. We've moved from a period of certainty to uncertainty. Further, realise that the US, in particular, is extremely divided right now and is running through its own social problems. But change can only occur through chaos. When everything is great, sure you have peace and prosperity, but you eventually come to a standstill and don't have the big pushes forward that society needs. Most importantly, remember that these are short-term bumps in the road, eventually, the trends will reverse and things will start improving again. Those who lived through the 2 world wars and the great depression were extremely pessimistic for the future, so they missed out on the post-war boom. The long-term trend is clear, and it's positive.

Just as a thought experiment, let's imagine that anyone at stage orange or below disappeared, so we're just left with green or above. Would the world stay at green and above, or is it possible that as new babies are born some of them will have old values at orange or below? Also, for areas like the middle east, you'll lose almost the entire population. As people start migrating and resettling these locations will they stay at green, or will they begin to regress if the environment is hostile?

Haha no.

Here's a spanner in the works, western cultures are pretty much the only places that are guilt based. The rest of the world is shame based.

@Scholar All you're doing here is trying to project your worldview onto others. You'll never experience any joy in life in this way, because everything will keep pissing you off.

There's a really good book on Leo's book list about masculinity too. If you have the book list you should be able to find it

@Leo Gura I hope it's something slightly more "legal", or at least somewhat easier to get hold of in some locations.

The way I see it is Sadhguru is having an understanding of the complexity of various situations, whilst those criticising him have a black & white perspective and don't understand the nuances.

To be honest, without even being awakened I have already realised this lol.

If you really want to criticise someone you'll always find something to criticise. It comes from self-deception, self-bias, and selfishness from below.

@Enlighten Be careful if you're analysing him from above or below.

Haha

Haha, have you met stage green people? With their culture wars, and judgements of lower stages? Sadhguru doesn't judge, that's the key.

A strong alpha male is an immovable object. You set the frame, don't change for anyone but for yourself. A strong man does not seek advice from his girl on how to be "better". You must be confident of the direction in your life, and be comfortable in your own skin.

@DnoReally Yep, of course true crypto would give too much power away.

@Average Investor Yes, they're releasing their Digital Yuan. This will be their "crypto", 100% state-backed currency.

No, we're actually more or less in agreement. I agree.

@Preety_India My original comment was that "There's very little green in India. It's too underdeveloped." Not that it doesn't exist in India, it's just very rare. You can't have stage green in any meaningful way until you've transitioned to orange and approached the limits of orange. You're assuming your country is more developed than it is. You can't have green when the majority of the population is at a subsistence level of existence. Even in the cities, most people are poor in India. I also think you're deceiving yourself about where you're at too, but that's up to you to figure out. But who knows, maybe you've stumbled across a green pocket of the population, where the 0.1% of Indian green people live.

You can find them anywhere, they're just more common in more developed societies because they've had time to develop those values once other survival needs have been met. The problem with spiritual ideologies or religions is that the people who practice them are normally at much lower levels of consciousness than the original founders and masters of those practices. Most of them are stage blue, and in denial about it.
