Superfluo

@Leo Gura Leo, after all you've outgrown, do you still think visualization is a powerful tool for achieving goals? Or did you find better techniques?

@Michael569 The mind palace is pretty easy to understand, but it requires some mental gymnastics to make it a habit and use it instinctively. It's a wonderful skill in the long term, but requires some time in the short term.

What about carbon filters? I remember you told something about them but I can't find the post anymore.

@Leo Gura Leo, you could make a video on how to think critically. MBTI wise, you have a dominant Ti that could be of huge value to people.

@Preety_India It means it is an affiliate link. Sponsoring basically.

Got it, thanks.

How come? Is this a spiritual thing or do they simply deal with the external consequences in a devilish manner? Or do you mean they are not impacted by consequences?

@Etherial Cat That's from a logical standpoint. When instinctual, biological survival will make itself feel heard, you won't think about the transition to stage Green or some abstract concepts. As pretty much everyone on the planet.

It's not so unlikely. There are people like that.

@Hello from Russia Great advice

You have to play by the game's rules. Think of this this way. Everything is manipulation. Life is manipulation, manipulation to survive (check Leo's video on Survival). So the question is: to what degree am I willing to manipulate? And given that pick up is higly manipulative, if you don't immerse yourself in the game, you will fail. If you are too honest, you will be seen as uncalibrated and fuck things up. If you are too manipulative, you will hurt people, make them angry and girls won't trust you easily, but you could be more attractive to some women. Notice that honesty is not always equal to directness. You can be honest but not direct, and direct but not honest. Every situation requires a unique mix of honesty, directness and manipulation. You have to be flexible. Don't be too principled that you forget to not be so principled when the situation requires it.

@abrakamowse You could also create a turquoise simple game that focuses on paradoxes. Flappy bird goes turquoise and puff... hyperbolic geometries.

@Hello from Russia Man, are you still stuck on coral? Everybody knows that to elevate orange + green you need stage brown.

@Nahm They are in a hurry to realize time does not exist.

@xxx420yoloswag69xxx the second one. time is something you think about, that you imagine, inside the present moment. You think about "time" now. In the present moment.

I have a reasoning in mind, I'd like you to tell me if this is correct. "But why go all the way if the purpose of this is awakening? God distracts itself from being aware that God is God, but then wants to understand itself and realize what he has decided to distract "itself" from. And if the answer to this question is "to learn what it means to forget you are God", why not create simply a reality where it is acceptable to understand that you always existed, where you forget you are God but you still don't need explanations? But then something outside of the subject (you) needs to exist in order to see a duality and then learning the opposite of duality and understanding your God nature. And if something outside of yourself exists, then you need explanations, otherwise you would already be arrived at the end goal".

@Etherial Cat Remember, it's all Love...

@Preety_India Blue is not generally openminded, so it attacks everything that is different from the status quo and the main thought system. Kids are the exact opposite of following enstablished rules. So you can understand where this thing is going. But also, it's a lot deeper than that. It's not just like kids are rebels. They get molded by stage blue parents with lack of independent thinking, closed-mindedness, abuses in some cases, fear, guilt, etc. Obviously that's the Stage Blue shadow. There's also healthy stage blue. But since stage blue is not particularly cognitively evolved, it's not aware of its shadow and doesn't bother to look at it because of many layers preventing to do so: a stage blue person has internalized the lessons he/she received from parents, and the cycle goes on and on. Stage blue cognitive level keeps you locked in blue. This is why stage blue is still strong.

It's unreal the way the guy fools Lisa at the end. So much charm and class. Not only he seems a good guy, but also he is very skilled at exploiting the emotional buttons of people who consider themselves intelligent people and would not fall for the very manipulation games they are being fooled with. He fooled the tougher type of opponents of his business without even leaving a trace of doubt or negative impression, without lying (pretty much) and with social integrity. I'm amazed how well scripted was that part.

@Preety_India After a blow, there is always a period where you may need to feel hurt, to lick your wounds, to feel your pain, to grieve, to surrender to harsh truths. Don't forget to honor those moments. It's absolutely normal to feel like you feel given your circumstances. Wanting to escape from the feeling won't make you feel good. Feeling the feeling, letting it pass through you, willl make you feel good, because you are not opposing what is trying to be expressed. After you do that, then, and only then you can move on without being dragged down by your own emotions. The hard skin you want will grow by itself, just by the fact that you will go on.

@StarStruck You don't need spiral dynamics to heal, but if you want go for it. I have some posts about healing, check them out if you want.

@StarStruck Dude, I think you should learn more about basic, relational and maybe even trauma psychology instead of spiral dynamics.

I've read some books about investing, but the perspective described in them is always the perspective of a beginner investor. I'd like to read a book on the mechanisms of Stock Markets, how companies relate to the Stock Markets, the way Stock Markets relate to global economy, the mechanisms of money in the big picture of the stock world. Preferably a stage yellow book. Any suggestions?

@Leo Gura Or maybe a person has repressed some emotional stuff that when triggered makes him defensive, aggressive, dogmatic, adopt black or white thinking, etc when otherwise he/she is stage yellow. In this case you can be both. Precisely because he/she hasn't integrated the repressed aspects of himself/herself.

Do the exercises first. Otherwise you will end up using external material as excuse to slack off. Or you may forget to complete the course because a book makes you thirsty for other books and so on.
