Have you looked into Dr. Nun Amen Ra by any chance? He's all into longevity and I believe he eats only 1000 - 1500 cal. per day and 100% vegan. Although he looks like he'd eat like 3000-4000 calories. Very interesting Zen type of guy.

@Jakey I'd put it like this.

I'd like to add Marcus Aurelius as an perfect example of how one can be truly awakened and one with nature, yet view the world from a blue perspective. He was big on dedicating oneself to service of others and for society; he had lots of the "good" traits of blue.

Chapter 5: I continued CwG book 3 today. Got tons of wisdom from the pages i read; it made me really contemplative and thoughtful. I've noticed that from reading these series, that they make one really think and reflect on what you could be doing better in your life. I'll have to read the series from the beginning again after i finish this book, they are that juicy and profound. I also continued to plough through "The Religion of Tomorrow". Amazing book, It too gets me into a weirdly contemplative state, where I'm able to see and reflect on what I'm doing wrong and how to fix that; what to expect in my future growth. I really like how he's able to map out all of these structures, states, stages and growth out so nicely. Other: I did not meditate as i got kind of stuck in this "Pandemic" series on Netflix. There was a very interesting part where in beginning of episode 2, there was shown a pure stage green mother; she was an anti vaccine supporter. It was very interesting to notice her viewpoint and put oneself in here shoes, to see how from her viewpoint it could make perfect sense to not vaccine her kids. I also noticed how she imposed her own will onto them. In teaching them awareness and higher consciousness. She went on to say something like "how I'm raising you guys is, we are going against 90% of the worlds population and you are the 10%" This will without a doubt make them get wrongful ideas of their fellow human beings just because they are "above" them. If i remember correctly, Sadhguru spoke about if one should raise ones children by forcing spirituality onto them. he was very much against doing so. I'll have to look it up and find out exactly what he said. From what I understand, you should not impose your beliefs and biases onto your children but rather teach them to think for themselves.

@Serotoninluv Well put Luv. That's so true. I find this is where integral theory comes perfectly in handy instead of the more simplistic spiral dynamics approach. I find it goes way more into detail. As you say, a minds interpretation of a state or a mystical experience depends solely on which view point their spiritual knowledge is at; or as Ken Wilber calls "growing up". So a stage green or a stage yellow person can have woken up, but their developmental "growing up" has yet to continue to evolve; and will eventually. I see a lot of people here who think they've "made it" when they become liberated or awakened, but they still don't realize that their view point of their awakening is relative to their structure and stage. That's my two cents on that matter

@Leo Gura What if you were to make a separate threads of the positives for each stage. Like "Positive Stage-Blue Examples".

It's very simple. You just do it

@Zigzag Idiot Haha, thanks for pointing that out - I'll stay open minded.

Chapter 4: Today I started "Conversations With god" book 3 - got 70 pages in; fantastic so far. This series has been one of the best I've ever read. One has to be careful of how to take the wisdom in it; not on blind faith, but with an open mind and perseverance. I've verified much of the truth in these series to be true via mystical experiences. But to say that to be true in my direct experience, as of now when I'm not aware of it in my direct experience; would be nothing more than a belief in what seemed to be true at one particular moment, but not in this same moment. I also read some Carlos Castaneda today. I'm treading these waters carefully, as Don Juan does not seem to possess the highest teaching. But i will not judge too soon, as I'm only 40 pages in. But these ancient teachings seem to be rather Magic-Mythic oriented in how they perceive these mystical states. But non the less I expect some top notch wisdom from there too. Other: Meditated for 50 minutes before writing this post. Absolute stillness is a major key for going deep I've noticed, so I'm placing a lot of focus on that. My technique as of now consists of the "Do Nothing" method which has been OK, but I'm looking to go deeper with some new methods I may try out; Or it will just end with a solid Kriya practice if i ever get to watching those videos. But I'm in no hurry and I will see where the stream takes me.

Chapter 3: This Ken Wilber book continues to amaze me to further and further reaches. I'm really falling in love with the integral system and how much more advanced it is than Spiral Dynamics. I read about 30 pages today (which takes a long time with a book like this) and about 30 pages of Carlos Castaneda. Wisdom has become my priority in life and i will continue to aspire to grow up and wake up, by reading; questioning what i read, taking psychedelics more often and contemplating. Other: Yet again I've procrastinated with the Kriya Yoga meditation. I was going to start watching Ryan Kurczak's YouTube series today, but got distracted in reading and contemplating. I will try and look into it tomorrow. Otherwise I did my normal meditation; 50 minutes this time with the main focus being absolutely still. It's to my surprise how much of a difference it can make, not moving even the tiniest bit. I got into a nice deep state, but only for a minute or two. Soon I'll be starting Osho's 112 meditations book; It includes bunch of meditation techniques which I'll be experimenting with alongside the Kriya Yoga. I will likely perform those meditations during the day, and the Kriya before bed.

100% agree with this decision.

Lighting and video quality on point. Stay active on all social media, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, posting often each week - but not too often. Never give up. Expect it to take some time, even though you're posting every week. The following will double and double and double slowly over time. Find your competitors, see what they are doing and what YOU can do BETTER. Really brainstorm that stuff. Listen to feedback. And most importantly, make sure the content is high quality.

Chapter 2: I've begun to question everything a lot more thoroughly now - reading Ken Wilber's book "The Religion Of Tomorrow" has made me more aware of the pitfalls I've been falling into in this work. I need to rethink everything. Having had many deep and profound psychedelic experiences, I had thought just because I confirmed something while in that state - It'd hold true for me when i'd return to base level consciousness; that's not the case. As soon as you do that, you're clinging to a concept in your mind and taking it up on belief. I intend going forward, to question everything a lot more, but with an open mind. This book is one of the best, if not the best book I've ever read, even though I'm only on page 200. Its really something else. I'll for sure be re-reading at least once a year. Other: I meditated for 40 minutes tonight; wishing it could've been more near 60. I expect tomorrow to be switching from my "Do nothing" meditation, and picking up Kriya Yoga again; as i find it to be better suited for me, to raise my consciousness. I also intend to try mirror gazing as an experiment tomorrow. We'll see how that goes.

I know it's not even close to being complete and we might have to wait 5-10 years for it. But I'm just so damn curious, will it be a big Tome like Ken Wilbers RoT or Oshos BoS ? Have you started writing any of it or are you just collecting information and experience ? Will it be associated with actualized .org or just your avatar Leo ?

@Nahm That's so awesome !!! Let us know when it's close to being done.

What are your thoughts on this ?

@Nahm Would you ever consider writing a book ?

@supremeyingyang hahaha "I have 5 bachelors!!!"

My god I will likely die of excitement before its out. Nothing more hot and sexy than a big ass book with lots of juicy wisdom in it. And we know this one will be on another level of profoundness (no pressure).

@supremeyingyang Haha even though it's a small population, its advancement is so rapid that we're always on the edge of survival. Seems like we're as small as a 1st world country can be and still function (barely). Oh i wish it were that simple. ? How in the hell have you seen that ? it's the nations most beloved TV-show. I love it

@Chumbimba Iceland

LOL, it's the exact opposite in my country. Usually those who drop out or learn blue collar jobs are seen to have more common sense, and usually have way higher paying jobs. Being a contractor, electrician or a construction worker here for example could net you like 8k-15k a month.

@Chumbimba Just because you're enlightened doesn't mean you can't make millions. I like Osho's stance on money and success the most, although it's a tricky path to not go off rails.
