Yes. Although 2020 has proven to be an unconventional year.

I am a bit worried about Michigan and Wisconsin. It's likely Biden will win those but if he doesn't he's in trouble. @Hatfort Yes I think both have a chance but Biden probably has a better chance of winning. I also hope we all agree we don't want this to win:

Thank you. I will try that. Do you eat the oatmeal or buckwheat in any kind of dairy? Because I try to avoid that.

Yeah well but people aren't aware of it lol

I actually watched some JP lectures and it got me thinking...he has a very complex mind and it gives birth to many good insights And yet he is very ideological and his political views are so ignorant. He also seems to carry a lot of resentment and pain and a closed heart

Not exactly what this thread is about...but Trump might stage a fake victory on election night with only partial results

Yeah...LOL I'm very skeptical of online tests determining such complex things

Being at stage Orange is perfectly fine, for the time being. Experiencing 'mystical love' all the time, even for the 'ugly' things seems more like a stage Turqoise thing to me. Be grateful if you have glimpses of it Now most of the values you listed are important beyond Spiral Dynamics too (as Michal pointed out). These are great values to have! For now I advice you to work towards getting yourself into a better environment where you don't have to interact with toxic people too much. Maybe start thinking about what you're most passionate about and spend time doing that too. I know sometimes it's easy to lose sight of the light, but just imagine how strong you'll become by overcoming these challenges and how amazing and beautiful your life can become! You're just 17 so you got a lot of time to improve your life.

He makes some very good points and even talks about Purpose and Flow States and losing your sense of individuality lol

Saw that just yesterday! Yeah great video lol

Man that's so sad...bonding over self-loathing..

@Dragon Liege Yeah I know about cross orientations and the terms you used. I only considered the possibility that perhaps romantic feelings and sexuals feelings cannot be completely seperated. As in, romantic feelings toward someone being some form of sexual attraction that is different from conventional sexual attraction. Because you are still attracted to someone (regardless of their sex or gender) for some reason. I think that maybe that's sexual energy too. I don't know for sure of course lol, but just thought about it a bit because I found it interesting

I wonder whether "romantic feelings" could be just a form of sexual attraction, albeit different from necessarily having the desire to have sex

Some more BS Trump praising

To be honest I think it's too much (unless they are very short books). But especially with the books Leo recommends and similar books I read it and take notes and think about what I've learned after each chapter. With most self-help books I take time to do all the exercises and journal about stuff like: How will my behavior change? and on top of that, if I stick with a single book a little longer then I have time to let it sink in deeper into my mind. Do what works for you, but to me 1 book a week seems like plenty already. And make sure you do more than just read even if it's boring or difficult sometimes to take notes and such. Really.

Yeah they've grown a lot and fast. In the beginning I just thought they were just another progressive media show, but at some point Sagaar kept mentioning he's on the populist right and kept praising Tucker Carlson and it just turned me off. I really don't understand Sagaar either, he's always happy to announce progressive wins and supported Bernie and yet identifies himself as right wing. It's absurd.

"The company is your family. You will do everything you can for your family" (There's also some toxic Orange of course)

A video from The Rational National: Great development and also nice to hear about his own experience with psychedelics

Right wingers seem to be on the rise everywhere in Europe. It's a Stage Blue reaction against globalization, immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, etc.

Nice to see some Stage Blue at the end with the priest lol
